[Episode 4]
Do you like that guy that much?
Of course! He is such a great catch.
My horoscope said I would have a chance encounter this month.
Now I'm wondering since his family is so well-off
would he look down on me for being an unknown actress?
We're good friends, right?
We can say anything?
Just say it.
I think you two aren't compatible.
Why? I like him so much.
You don't like him too, do you?
If you do, I'm going to strangle you.
No, I really don't.
Then say it. Why?
Lately, I've been filming too many dramas in which
the friend steals the girl's boyfriend.
That's all I think of now.
What kind of crap dramas are you filming?
Listen to me.
I just think you two have only known each other for one day--
It's not just one day. It's been several. I just haven't told you.
He's the guy I told you I met at the police station.
You made this happen.
It's on me. I have to take responsibility then.
What? What responsibility? Everything's great.
Why do you keep thinking I'm not compatible with Gao Jia Ming?
Listen to my analysis.
I just think you two have known each other for not one day, several days
and you don't know each other very well, but you already like him so much.
Look, you told me you used his phone and he was displeased.
So he's not sincere.
Displeased means insincere?
You're often displeased. Can I say you're insincere?
I just think he's especially controlling.
Are you a fortune-teller and can read a person's face? You're meddling so much.
Anyway, I just think you two won't be happy together.
Knock on wood! Why are you saying such bad things?
I'm leaving! I'm not talking to you.
Don't follow me. I'll get mad even if you're my best friend.
Jia Ming.
- Why did you come? - How could you treat Xiao Hua like that?
She's your girlfriend. She asked you out and you wouldn't even see her?
Do you know how upset she is?
I don't know.
I know now that you told me.
Go apologize to her right now.
Immature.
I'm not going.
If I run into your dad, I won't hear the end of it.
He is also your dad.
I'm a Gao. I'll be buried with the Gaos.
So he definitely isn't my dad.
I know this.
I'm a fake. You're the real thing.
Wen Dao reminds me every day to either date his daughter or get lost.
Saying that is especially unfair to Xiao Hua.
She sees you as more important than her own life.
I never asked her to be like that.
Then just reject her once and for all. Don't give her any ideas.
I have already rejected her countless times.
I don't love her. Past, present, future, never.
Then I'm begging you, okay? Go talk to her.
- When I have time. - When do you have time?
I've dated so many times before. You've never been interested.
Why are you so concerned when it comes to her? Do you like her?
Fine, you win. I'll definitely tell her clearly. Okay?
- The Devil isn't here? - I don't know.
How come you're just here? Only five minutes until you're late.
There was traffic.
Good thing he isn't here or else I'd have to offer my life in apology.
I'm so lucky.
How come it's wet?
You cried?
I was too nervous at the reception yesterday.
They will definitely give me low marks later. What should I do?
There was someone who was even worse than you yesterday.
That person is me.
I got caught by Cheng Jia Yang when I stepped out yesterday.
- Really? - That's just how it is.
Don't worry.
You two sure are close.
Qiao Fei, come with me.
Mr. Cheng.
I've never seen an intern as troublesome as you.
Hurry up and apply for a transfer.
This is the audio you didn't finish listening to last time.
Aren't I transferring anyway?
You can say I'm heartless, but not that I don't have principles.
Thank you.
Troublesome.
I'll be going now.
Qiao Fei, are you really transferring?
But Han Mei Mei's group is already full.
Do you want to ask Mr. Tian to talk to Mr. Cheng?
Do you think I haven't gone to Mr. Tian?
I've hinted at it many times. Do you know what Mr. Tian said to me?
He said we'll all be colleagues later
so if we can't cooperate, then leave while it's still early.
Who leaves? Cheng Jia Yang? Of course it would be me!
What can I do? Whatever I do will be wrong.
Do you think Cheng Jia Yang's astrology sign is an air sign?
How can he turn on a dime and say it's reasonable?
I think he must be an earth sign.
He looks like he keeps changing but in fact, he is not flexible at all.
He hopes everybody can be like robots that don't make mistakes.
He must be... a Virgo.
You guys don't understand men.
A man like Cheng Jia Yang is the easiest to understand.
How so?
He's too revved up.
I'm guessing he's never dated before.
Help me see which picture looks good.
Pictures taken on this superphone all look good.
Qiao Fei!
How come you're here?
It's like this.
A few of my classmates are interested in
the part-time job you told me about in your message.
They're all strapped for cash and want a part-time job.
Do you think you can take them with you?
Sure. Give me copies of their resumes. I'll talk to them for you guys.
I remember they need a Chinese teacher
and won't have too many other requirements.
My main concern is that they're not reliable and will waste your time.
Thanks, Qiao Fei! I'll tell them right now.
Okay.
You're so nice.
You could've just told her it's not a sure thing.
You're even going to meet up and ask for them.
When I was a freshman, I also worked part-time.
I also had reliable upperclassmen to help me.
I also talked to that Frenchman last time.
He does need a Chinese teacher to assist his French employees.
It's not a big deal.
As long as it is a good project, I can definitely get money from my dad.
Why are you just sitting here? Are you meditating?
I'm waiting for someone.
I don't need to ask. You're waiting for Xiao Hua.
Don't ask me how I know.
Our hearts are connected.
Get lost.
Do you think there's a higher probability of me closing a business deal
or of you getting Xiao Hua?
From the looks of it now, neither have a high chance.
Do you know who is the most unreliable?
You.
Wang Xu Dong, you're undependable.
You're nowhere to be seen until late in the afternoon.
You're angry now.
To put it bluntly, you're shocked I hit the nail on the head.
This sudden epiphany of mine makes me quite nervous.
How can I be so smart?
I'm so smart, but how come I just can't do business?
I always get left out.
Why?
Xu Dong!
Get over there.
I'm going now.
I'll tell you one thing. Business done with good friends will work out for sure.
Hello?
Uncle Wen, this is Jia Yang.
Xiao Hua, Jia Yang is looking for you.
He said he's been waiting for you for an hour.
Dad, I have to hurry out. I won't be able to meet up with Jia Yang.
No, you--
Xiao Hua.
Cheng Jia Yang, it's me, Benoit.
How come it's you? Is something the matter?
I'm about to steal her from you.
The Institute has plenty of talent anyway.
Our company is especially short-staffed.
Qiao Fei?
She's still in contact with you?
Where are you?
Just wait to receive her letter of resignation.
I have a call coming in.
These are the resumes of outstanding students
in our French Department.
I think they fit well with your company's needs.
So I would also like to know
what offer and guarantee you can give to my classmates.
Qiao Fei, you really can't come over to us?
I'm more interested in you.
Why don't you directly join our company?
You don't need to intern.
I can pay you three times as much as what the Institute is paying you.
Are you trying to poach from the Institute?
Poach?
Poach.
That's right. I like your talent with languages and your humor.
My boss is here. Don't tell him about us.
Don't worry.
Mr. Cheng.
Meeting here?
Mr. Cheng, we met at the cocktail party.
My name is Benoit.
I am Qiao Fei's new boss.
Nonsense!
That means Miss Qiao has found a better job now.
Congratulations.
Our company provides a very high salary. It is a better job.
It is especially suitable for those who
want to earn money under the guise of dreams.
No, their company is hiring.
I introduced some underclassmen to them. Isn't that right?
Just own up to what you've done. Why make excuses?
Mr. Cheng, it's off work hours now.
I personally think even if you are her superior
you have no authority to meddle in her personal time.
Come outside with me.
I didn't do anything wrong. Why can't we talk here?
If you want to be publicly shamed here, then it's up to you.
I'll leave the resumes here for you.
They want me to go over to their company, but I can't go
so I recommended my junior classmates.
I was delivering their resumes.
I've had so many interns before.
I have never seen one as troublesome and pretentious as you.
If you want to earn money, then go. I won't stop you.
I don't. Why can't you just listen to me explain?
I belong with the Institute, through and through.
All right, stop lying! Aren't you tired?
Qiao Fei, I already know you agreed to join their company.
How do you know?
I'll give you one more chance. Tell me the truth.
Maybe I can handle it after knowing the full story.
You really can?
Tell me first. I'll try my best to understand you.
Cheng Jia Yang, do you think I'm dumb?
You want to get a confession out of me?
I didn't. Don't accuse me.
Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of working for them.
Never.
Okay, you don't admit to your mistakes and even act so righteous.
I am so disappointed in you.
Have you ever had hopes for me?
Never.
Then why say all these things?
Get out.
Fine, I will.
Don't think of accusing me again.
I will report this to Mr. Tian as it is.
I will continue checking your resume.
If there is anything suspicious, you will be gone immediately.
You are just out to get me, aren't you?
What have I ever done to you? Do you know I--
I don't want to hear your personal affairs.
I only know you were late to the interview
didn't report your fever, and left your post during work.
Do you love money that much?
Do you need me to continue?
No need.
I don't want to continue talking with someone who insults my dreams.
Your dreams?
They're not worth a cent.
Just because I'm poor, my dreams are worthless?
Yes, I don't have an interpreter father
who could tell me stories in French when I was young.
I also don't have a businesswoman mother
who can take me to France whenever I want.
I am always the last in my class to pay my tuition.
If I learned rare metals welding after I graduated high school
I would have long since become a senior blue-collar worker!
My mother would have had surgery long ago and I wouldn't have to
be afraid she won't wake up one day.
I shouldn't have learned French.
I shouldn't have dreams. I'm so poor.
Why do I still have dreams?
Using your family background to define yourself
and pointing out your difficulties to others?
It doesn't take much skill to do that.
You have everything. Of course you don't need to be concerned about them.
You just need to focus on your high status and your dreams.
But most people are people like me.
People like us will never be able to afford a car like this.
Do you know how much effort we have to put in just to reach your starting line?
And you?
You just stand at your finish line and ridicule us for being slow!
Getting into the Institute isn't a talent show.
Looking pitiful to gain sympathy won't work.
Of course you don't need to look pitiful for sympathy.
Your French is good
your family background is good, your appearance is good.
But no matter how good you are, you don't have a heart.
Say that again.
I said you're heartless.
You fail to notice other people's troubles.
Having a very hard time?
Really want to cry?
If you want to cry, then lean on me and cry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't take your feelings into consideration.
Come on.
Come here.
Do you know how hurtful your words are?
If what you need is this kind of fake sympathy
there is as much as you want.
I hope you get the hell out of the Institute as soon as possible.
You!
I won't leave!
It's not up to you.
Cheng Jia Yang, listen up!
I'm dead set on staying in the Institute!
Think you're the only one with a car? Always leaving like this!
- Jia Ming. - You're here? Sit.
You're dressed like that for hot pot? Aren't you afraid it will smell?
It's fine. I like hot pot.
You don't like it.
You get pimples when you have spicy food.
I've had it so many times with you. I'm okay with a little bit now.
Xiao Hua.
Just leave it. Seriously.
Stop being stubborn. We're really not compatible.
You are quite nice, but I think of you as a sister now.
I really don't have feelings for you.
I think we're in a good place now.
You're busy with work and don't have time to be with me. I can understand.
Look. Didn't you ask me out now that you have time?
Wen Xiao Hua.
You're considered a goddess. Won't you stop degrading yourself?
If you treat me like this
it'll be humiliating for your suitors to see you like this.
I can't control what others think.
I only know
between you and I, I am the one chasing you.
I'm not degrading myself.
That's the problem.
You are the one chasing me. I'm not chasing you.
I don't treat you well, which clearly shows I don't cherish you.
Understand?
These are the best years of your life, and you're so beautiful.
Why are you with an incompetent person like me?
It's okay.
You don't love anyone anyway.
Who says I've never loved?
I loved once.
I was just hurt.
You've been hurt, so now you're hurting me?
Jia Ming, can't you just be a little nicer to me?
Everybody can see all I have done for you over the years.
How come you just can't?
If you are looking for an equal give-and-take ratio
then I can only ask that you stop looking for that from me.
Nothing in return here.
Why?
What do I need to do for you to treat me better?
Sometimes, I even envy your patients.
Dad!
- Dad, what's wrong? - Dad! What's happening?
What's the matter?
Get out of the way!
Dad! What's wrong?
- Do you have medicine? - He doesn't have an illness.
- Look at me. - Dad!
Look at me!
Don't panic. I'm a doctor. Call for an ambulance.
Quick! Go!
Hold his feet.
Dad!
Don't come along.
I asked you out this time to return this to you.
Don't cut out my pictures anymore.
I'm so tired.
Can you get me a glass of water? I really can't move anymore.
Help me play. Don't die.
Do you have any sympathy?
I walked 13 kilometers!
I still need to do so much for a cup of water?
The water is here.
Drink slowly.
How come you're so miserable?
I don't have to ask. It must be because you wanted to save on cab fare, right?
Seeing as we're best friends, I won't embarrass you.
I forgive your sin.
If you don't show me human compassion, I'll become very cynical.
I'm actually not that compassionate.
It's like this.
During the two months of your internship at the Institute
I'll let you live rent-free.
But if you want to continue living here after that, please pay the rent.
I've already figured out the numbers. We'll split it equally between us.
I knew it!
I have to rent anyway. How much is it?
- 2,000 yuan. - 2,000 yuan?
For this tiny place? 2,000 yuan?
Miss, this is Shanghai. Land is expensive.
This place is big enough already.
Tell me the truth.
To be honest, I rented directly from the tenant at the time
and the landlord later found out and fined us.
Why do I have a friend like you? Let me calculate this.
Wu Jia Yi, how did you survive all these years?
- You owe 4,000 or 5,000 in rent-- - Okay, okay, okay.
You're a model. How much money do you make?
This is so I'll have a conversation topic.
Talk? If you want that
you should live in those cramped underground apartments.
That'll dominate the conversation when you bring it up.
Are you done calculating?
Almost.
Okay, done.
Cut internet service, replace all bulbs with energy-saving ones
and limit showers to 30 minutes.
From now on, you buy groceries and I'll cook.
Takeout not allowed. That's all.
Why... Why do I buy groceries?
Then why don't you cook? I can just move back to the dormitories.
No, don't, don't.
I'll do household chores.
But you have to do the laundry.
I just bought detergent. It's very good. I paid for it.
Don't say any more. We'll split the chores equally, okay?
Fine, equally then. Just as long as you don't move out.
Fei Fei.
I'll be honest with you.
Money has been tight lately.
Paying rent by myself is too difficult and they won't let me leave.
Just help me out here.
I don't have money for you right now.
Isn't it more of a burden with me around?
I've got my salary in advance from the winery.
I don't get paid from the Institute until the end of the month.
It's fine, I know. We're best friends and I know you.
When you have money, you'll pay me back.
Do you think I really am like what Cheng Jia Yang said?
A headless chicken full of dreams, running all over the place?
Don't think too much into it.
Women like us who came from small cities--
Young ladies.
Sure, sure. Young ladies.
Young ladies who came from small cities
don't have much skill and will indeed be looked down upon.
Only those that rich people talk about are called dreams.
And ours, before we succeed
at most are considered a result of circumstance in our lives.
Actually, Cheng Jia Yang isn't that bad.
If he really wanted to drive me away
he wouldn't ask if I've eaten or if I've fallen behind on homework.
He's quite nice.
He's just softening the blow
used especially to deceive innocent young girls like you.
You should just be an interpreter for a company
and earn a big salary easily.
I'll be your assistant then.
That's why you're so unbearably vulgar.
I think it's enough that the money I earn can be used to treat my mom well.
You want to buy a big house
but aren't you just sleeping in one bed?
All right, you're poor but have a heart of gold.
You're not rich yet, but your heart already is.
No wonder Cheng Jia Yang criticizes you.
How come you haven't met a dependable, rich, and handsome man yet?
The kind who is wholeheartedly good to you.
Just like my Gao Jia Ming.
Forget it. I said I wouldn't mention him.
Jia Yi, I really have to tell you I think you should--
Gao Jia Ming is my man.
I don't care what you think about him
but if you say bad things about him in front of me, then that's wrong of you.
Okay, I won't. I wish you guys well.
Just be careful, okay?
I'll stop now.
Okay, I have a bunch of things to do.
I can't let myself stay wrongfully accused.
Mr. Tian.
- Li Lei. - Mr. Tian.
Prepare to take over for me at my meetings tomorrow.
I have to make a last-minute trip to Tianjin tomorrow.
- All right. - Jia Yang.
- How was the simulation test? - A few people will be eliminated.
Don't go through so much trouble.
Didn't the three of you still come out of my training?
The few I picked seem a bit substandard.
Then what about the one who placed first?
The Qiao Fei who is under you.
I've given up on her.
Why?
She's not earnest.
Don't have such high standards.
If they're too high, it'll be excessive.
With your kind of training, you won't be able to keep up with her.
She still can't stay.
If she's only a translator for the money, then she's not right for the Institute.
Hao Zhe! Where are you going?
To a meeting.
Where's everybody else?
The others are on break. Why you weren't here in the morning?
Didn't we have the morning free?
Didn't you get the email?
Cheng Jia Yang sent out a mass email last night
saying Wen Xiao Hua's lecture was moved to the morning.
I didn't know. Nobody notified me.
I've got to go. Bye!
Cheng Jia Yang really wants to fire me?
I love Xiao Hua's lectures.
Xiao Hua. I'm sorry.
Qiao Fei, where are you in such a hurry to get to?
I... I'm looking for Cheng Jia Yang.
No, I have to find Benoit first.
Benoit? You know him? Did Jia Yang introduce you?
Cheng Jia Yang knows him too?
I don't know if it's that Benoit
but there was a French classmate named Benoit in Jia Yang's year.
Do you have his photo? Show me.
Come with me.
This is Benoit.
It's him.
He and Cheng Jia Yang know each other?
They were even colleagues once?
Then why did they pretend not to know each other at the party?
So he tried to poach me for his company because Cheng Jia Yang told him to?
Xiao Hua, thank you.
I'm going to settle this with him.
Qiao Fei, don't be impulsive. Listen to me.
Xiao Hua, don't say any more. I have to clear this up.
Cheng Jia Yang!
What are you doing?
Why do you look like a hungry tiger about to pounce on prey?
I'm afraid I'll get sick if I eat you!
Qiao Fei, why do you always speak to Mr. Cheng like that?
It's okay. Don't blame her. She's been fired already.
I'm no longer her instructor.
I knew you would say that.
You really schemed and baited just to wrongly accuse me and fire me.
What do you mean baited?
Xiao Hua has already told me.
You and Benoit clearly know each other!
You even asked him to set me up!
Jia Yang, I didn't know you asked Benoit to test them.
I unintentionally let it slip.
Qiao Fei works really hard. You should treat her more fairly.
I don't ask for him to be fair to me.
Just don't wrongly accuse me. How have I offended you?
Find Benoit and get him here right now.
Let's make it clear whether I was going to go over to their company.
If I was, then I'll get the hell out of the Institute!
If not, then you get the hell out!
I said the wrong thing.
You just have to apologize to me.
You can't even speak Chinese clearly and you want to be a translator?
Hurry up and get the hell out of the Institute.
Don't pretend nothing happened. Aren't you going to find Benoit?
You-- What are you doing? Are you going to hit me?
Don't come here. Xiao Hua!
Qiao Fei, Jia Yang is a gentleman. He won't hit you.
Benoit.
I don't care where you are. Come to the Institute right now!
- Li Lei. - Hi, Benoit.
Xiao Hua? You're back?
Benoit, you're still the same as before.
Xiao Hua, in my mind, you will always be the goddess of the Institute.
All right.
Don't reminisce with the goddess yet.
Hello, do you still remember me?
Please explain one thing to everybody.
Have I ever agreed to join your company and leave the Institute?
Regarding this, you agreed.
I agreed?
But not right now. It's in the near future.
After being touched by my sincerity.
Qiao Fei, I am very sincere.
Okay, let's make this clear.
Let's not use the future tense. Let's use the present tense.
So as of this moment, have I agreed to join your company?
Not yet.
Did you hear that, Devil Cheng?
I heard.
That means it's still possible you would leave the Institute in the future.
In this regard, Benoit and I have reached a consensus.
There was a mistake in tense. I was wrong.
Okay, the issue has been resolved.
Let's all get back to work.
Qiao Fei.
Jia Yang has actually apologized to you already. Let him down easy.
Has he apologized to me?
He has. Don't worry.
He rarely says the words, "I was wrong."
It is my first time hearing him say that.
So I'm in the clear now?
You won.
I like seeing you and Jia Yang fight more and more now.
It was always him abusing the interns.
Now it's great. Someone's fighting back.
Not bad, Qiao Fei. I have faith in you.
Stay strong and remain in the Institute.
Don't, Qiao Fei.
Consider joining my company.
You've offended him now.
How do you know he won't hold a grudge and take revenge?
Have I offended him?
Of course. Aren't you still under him?
The Devil has tortured me a thousand times.
You regard him as your first love?
No, I regard him as instant noodles.
Add water and they will eventually not be so hard.
Instant noodles?
I understand. Are you going to soak him? (Euphemism for sleeping with someone)
What did you say?
Did I say the wrong thing?
Don't laugh!
Stop laughing. Stop laughing!
Why don't you just get with Cheng Jia Yang?
Just sleep with him.
No, date him, and then maybe you'll have an easier time.
- Cut it out. - What kind of reaction is that?
You don't even know how arrogant and self-righteous he is.
You can't imagine it.
Don't even joke with him.
If you joke with him, he will take it seriously and say
"I am the King of Institute, Qiao Fei."
"Don't you common folk cling to me and try to suck up to me."
I'm so sick of him that if he was the only man left in the world
I still wouldn't love him.
If the world would perish if I don't love him
then I would choose to perish with the world.
That's how it is.
You hate him that much?
Then how will you get by in the Institute?
Everything I just told you is my mindset right now.
But it's two different things.
I hate him, but every time he arranges a task for me
once I complete it, I feel it is a victory.
A victory. You understand? A victory.
I get it.
Have the interns been sent out to the practice events?
Yes, Mr. Tian.
I have seen the recent training videos.
The interns have improved very quickly
but there is one thing to pay attention to.
Do not send them out there in the Institute's name.
Be sure to remember that.
I've communicated with the event organizers.
The interns will be representing themselves.
Yes, that's good.
Give me a summary when you get back.
If anybody performs too poorly, then advise them to withdraw.
Mr. Tian, I must go now. I have to meet with Ambassador Gabe first.
Okay.
Hao Zhe! Good thing you're here.
I thought I didn't get the memo again.
Don't you know? There's a practice event today.
Li Lei said he's giving me a task from Mr. Tian.
I'm so happy. What do you have arranged?
I wasn't notified.
You weren't notified again?
Hold on.
A message from Cheng Jia Yang!
Qiao Fei, what's wrong?
He's set on eliminating me.
I'm going to be late.
Call me if you need me. Don't feel too bad.
Mr. Tian!
Qiao Fei?
I wanted to ask you
if I'm eliminated this year, can I try again next year?
What's the matter? You're discouraged so soon?
Although Mr. Cheng thinks you aren't improving fast enough
isn't there still time
before the results of the first elimination round come out?
I think Mr. Cheng is prejudiced against me.
You have good grades.
It's a given that Mr. Cheng has high expectations of you.
However, there are two sides to everything.
If you are better than the others
then my colleagues and I will give you fair marks.
There is some misunderstanding between Mr. Cheng and I.
The grading...
You don't have to worry about that.
Even if he and you have a misunderstanding
Mr. Cheng won't turn a blind eye to your achievements.
Mr. Cheng has always given scores on the low side.
He is the same to every intern.
Do you mean to say
even if Mr. Cheng grades me strictly
the Institute has a comprehensive evaluation of me
so I just have to work hard to catch up, right?
That's right.
But you are in Cheng Jia Yang's group.
He still has one vote to veto you.
Qiao Fei, you have to trust that Mr. Cheng will be fair like me.
We won't be blind to your progress.
You guys--
That's right. How come you didn't go to the event today?
You're going to give up just because of this minor setback?
Then how are you going to bear even bigger pressures later?
Where are you heading to?
Mr. Cheng didn't arrange a specific task for me.
Do you know where he went?
I want to coordinate with him.
Then what are you still standing here for?
He left half an hour ago.
Yes, I know.
I was going to go with him
but he had me come back to get materials and prepare.
Then hurry on.
What is Cheng Jia Yang doing?
What does he need to prepare for Gabe?
He's most familiar with that category.
Mr. Tian, I will never forget the encouragement you gave me today.
Do a good job.
Thank you.
Gabe...
