Hello?
Have you had dinner yet?
Yes, I just got home.
How did it go?
Was your mom upset about what happened between me and Jia Ming?
No, she wasn't.
She's okay with it and she actually really likes you.
So my parents will probably invite you over to their place some time.
Really? Did they say that?
But my mom's a bit busy lately.
So it might have to wait.
Sure, not a problem.
I'm a bit tired, let's get some rest.
I'll see you at the Institute tomorrow.
Then I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight.
Bye
Bye.
That's impossible.
Jia Yang said he'll introduce me to his parents very soon.
You wouldn't have opened the door unless you'd believed what I said.
Just you wait, this meeting will keep being postponed.
It must have been because of what happened between us, right?
Luckily, that's not the reason.
Then you must have told your family that I took your money.
Do you really think I'd do something that despicable?
To be honest, I even told him not to tell my parents about you yet.
I only meant well but he didn't believe me.
He's never experienced the crazy conflicts in our family.
Then why did they object against us?
Because of his career.
Think about it, it's quite embarrassing for him to date his own intern.
But as long as he can earn money then I'm sure you're fine with it.
Gao Jia Ming.
If you insult me then you're just insulting yourself.
Listen, I didn't take your money.
- I already gave it back to your mom. - Fine, it's my fault.
It's not about the money.
I'm only doing this because I still love you, Qiao Fei.
Qiao Fei...
Qiao Fei?
What happened?
You passed out just now.
Don't you remember?
Do you feel dizzy?
Do you still feel sick?
I passed out?
I'm fine, it's probably just because of anemia.
It's not that serious, don't worry.
You shouldn't ignore early symptoms.
Let me take you to the hospital for another exam tomorrow.
As I said, it's just anemia and it's not that serious.
I'll just take some health supplements.
I guess I was so busy today that I still haven't had dinner.
- That's probably why I passed out. - You still haven't had dinner?
- Let's go and eat something. - No, it's okay.
I still have some instant noodles in the fridge.
You can go if you're busy.
You can't just have instant noodles.
I'll be fine, just go.
All right, take care of yourself.
Do you have brown sugar at home?
Make yourself a sweet drink.
Make sure you go for another exam at the hospital if it happens again.
I will, don't worry.
I'm going.
You really don't have to pick me up in the future.
Then you can have another 40 minutes of sleep.
It's okay, I'm an early riser.
Can you stop acting like a thief?
- Maybe I should tell the Institute-- - No.
We're in a perfectly normal relationship.
I don't see why we have to hide it from everyone.
Just give it some time.
How long?
Until you finish your training in one year's time?
We'll see what happens then.
Is there another reason as to why
you don't want others to know about our relationship?
What makes you think that?
What other reasons would there be?
I just think it'll affect you if people find out that we're together.
Why would it affect me?
Even if it does, I don't really care.
Fine, I respect your decision.
You get to decide when we tell others.
You better go or you'll be late.
What about you?
I thought you don't want us to be seen together.
I'll be there in a while.
Then I'll go up first.
Miss Wen.
Qiao Fei, I came to submit my lecture outline.
Are you by yourself? Where's Jia Yang?
Jia Yang's already told me.
I wish you the best, Qiao Fei.
You and Jia Yang make a great match.
Thank you, Miss Wen.
You can call me Xiao Hua just as Jia Yang does.
Okay, Xiao Hua.
When I saw you at the office for the first time
I already knew you're very talented.
Jia Yang didn't even want to take you as his intern back then.
But my judgment was right.
I knew you'd become an outstanding interpreter.
You're being too kind.
I trust you.
So are you going to specialize in consecutive or simultaneous interpreting?
Or are you going to do both?
I can't do simultaneous interpreting.
You can't do simultaneous interpreting?
What do you mean?
I can't sit in an interpretation booth.
I'd get dizzy as soon as I step inside.
Let's talk somewhere else.
Oh my god.
- Hello? - What's the matter with you?
You're supposed to be picking me up.
- I-- -
It's my big day today.
You must come and pick me up.
What big day?
Are you getting married or something?
It's just a lame press conference, right?
It's not just an ordinary press conference.
It's my first time to have my very own name card.
I've always been just sitting with the reporters before.
Fine, stop yelling, you're giving me a headache.
Okay, I'll stop, but you must come right now.
All right.
Really? You get dizzy as soon as you enter the interpretation booth?
When did it start?
When I went in an interpretation booth for the first time during freshman year.
So you've never completed a simultaneous interpretation before?
Back at university, simultaneous interpreting was an elective.
At the Institute, we also didn't get tested on simultaneous interpreting.
That's because if you're at the Institute
you must be already very good at consecutive interpreting.
So simultaneous interpreting wouldn't be a problem at all.
It's okay not to choose simultaneous interpreting as your specialty.
But I haven't seen any interpreters who can't do simultaneous interpretation.
Qiao Fei, I don't mean to offend you, I'm just very concerned about you.
- Please forgive me. - What you said is true.
Xiao Hua.
Jia Yang has also tried to comfort me.
But the interpretation booth has already become my nightmare.
I feel so pressured right now.
Don't give yourself too much pressure.
There are some things that we'd have no choice but to accept.
We can't force ourselves to achieve something that's beyond our ability.
What do you mean?
Just relax and accept the fact that you can't sit inside an interpretation booth.
If it's something that you're born with then just accept it.
- But I still want to overcome it. - You've already tried.
But it still didn't work, right?
I've never had any problems with interpreting.
I really don't know why this is happening.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
I mean it, it's not a problem that's only been around lately.
It's already become part of you over time.
Interpreting actually tests both your talent in language and logic.
We already know that our language talents come from our emotional side.
There's only very little you can do to make up for it.
Practice can improve your skills and knowledge
but it will never change your instincts.
Take people who have claustrophobia
or are allergic to certain things for example.
It's something that can't be changed.
But if I can't do simultaneous interpreting
- I can't stay at the Institute. - Not necessarily.
Perhaps Jia Yang can talk to Mr. Tian.
The Institute might give you special consideration for Jia Yang's sake.
But then again
nothing like this has ever happened at the Institute before.
It'll become a huge joke
if people find out that our interpreter can't do simultaneous interpreting.
That's what I'm afraid of.
That's why I still haven't told Mr. Tian about it.
I kept thinking that perhaps I can just do consecutive interpreting.
That's impossible.
Specializing in consecutive interpreting
and not being able to do simultaneous interpreting are two separate issues.
Think about it, every interpreter is a representative for the Institute.
If people find out that one of our interpreters
can't even enter the interpretation booth
what kind of problems do you think will arise?
If that happens
you'll probably affect the reputation of the Institute.
Then what should I do?
Just be honest and tell Mr. Tian the truth.
Don't force yourself to do something that's beyond your ability.
You should accept your imperfections.
In the worst case scenario, even if you can't stay at the Institute
but you'll still be Qiao Fei and you'll still have people who love you.
Don't you think so?
Then there's me and Jia Yang.
We can both put in a good word for you
and ask the Institute to give you special consideration.
- You can still probably stay here. - I don't want special consideration.
I understand.
But as your friend, I must point something out to you.
If you don't tell them the truth
then they might consider it as lying.
Not only will it affect your credibility
but it'll also cause trouble for your mentor, Cheng Jia Yang.
Since the two of you are dating right now
Qiao Fei, you must think about it carefully.
Okay, it's about time to get back to work.
Don't worry, I'm on your side.
I won't say anything if you still don't want anyone to know.
But let me warn you.
The truth will eventually be revealed.
The earlier you tell the truth
the less responsibility and pressure you and Jia Yang will have to bear.
It's not that bad, take it easy.
It's just a job, right?
You'll just be as brilliant even if you leave the Institute.
I get it.
Thanks, Xiao Hua, I better get back to work.
Okay.
Wait...
Why are you so late?
- I'll-- - I'll go out.
I'll take the stairs.
Yang Yan, come with me to a meeting.
You're late.
Don't stress, you still have half an hour.
I require them to arrive half an hour early during their first year here.
Then why are you late?
I got into an unlicensed cab and it took the long way.
That's very dangerous.
Don't do it again.
Jia Yang.
Ambassador Gabe's donating a wooden sculpture to the museum tomorrow.
- Bring someone with you. - They won't turn up early again, right?
No, the museum is already very well-prepared.
- So it's all good. - Qiao Fei.
Print out the information that you proofread for me yesterday for Wu Ming.
Wu Ming, read through the material.
You can interpret the museum director's speech.
- Me? - That's right.
Not a problem.
I think Qiao Fei was also part of Ambassador Gabe's assignment
from last time, right?
That's it, she was the one who put together those meeting minutes.
You can take her as well.
What's wrong?
Are you still hesitating?
Mr. Tian, after what happened with those cups last time
do you really think I should go this time?
It's all in the past.
Just remember that every time you take on an assignment
you'll be representing a new you
as well as a new image for the Institute.
Shut up!
- I have a headache. - What's the matter, Wang Xu Dong?
I just want to sing because I'm happy today.
My throat will hurt if I don't sing.
I just want some peace and quiet.
Drive carefully, you're messing up my makeup.
- I should have asked Ao Tian instead. - Yes, so you should.
Then I could have stayed home.
Then I wouldn't have to put up with you.
Speak of the devil.
Ao Tian's just sent me a message.
Darling, I'll be right there.
Stop crawling like a snail and step on it.
I can't wait to see Ao Tian.
- I've got one word to describe you. - What?
Cheap.
- How dare you. - I'm cheap, too.
Look at yourself.
You're full of negative energy.
I'll forgive you because I'll be famous soon.
Please become famous as soon as you can.
When that happens I'll fire you straight away.
I can't wait for that day to come.
Hey, let me know if you have any questions.
It's okay, I've already discussed the speech with Yang Yan in detail yesterday.
They've already approved it.
Let me tell you something.
Based on my past experience
Ambassador Gabe is actually quite casual.
So it's likely that he'll have some unexpected--
You're not the only interpreter at the Institute.
Mr. Cheng said you're just assisting me.
You know what that means?
I'm the main interpreter so let me handle it.
Hang on, that's not what I mean.
Since I met him last time, I just want to remind you--
Thanks, is there anything else?
If not, then I have to read through my material.
Jia Yang.
Do you think you're being too harsh on Qiao Fei?
That's how I treat everyone else so I'm not picking on her.
I also heard what happened between her and your brother before.
They were young so it's perfectly normal, right?
Just because they broke up
doesn't mean you should mix work with personal feelings.
That's unfair to Qiao Fei.
I can tell that Qiao Fei's very talented.
She'll be an outstanding interpreter.
Qiao Fei's certainly very talented in interpreting.
I think she'll be brilliant after a bit of practice.
That's a very fair comment.
You don't often compliment people.
Qiao Fei must have put in a lot of effort.
What's with the huge smile?
The compliment was for Qiao Fei.
So when will you intensify her simultaneous interpreting training?
Have you talked to her about choosing her specialty?
Now that we've finally found a new talent
who can do both types of interpreting
we must make the most of it.
I'm in the process of strengthening her simultaneous interpreting training.
Can she cope with 10 minutes?
- More or less. - More or less?
10 minutes is just the basic requirement.
Cheng Jia Yang.
How can you have such a low expectation for her simultaneous interpreting skills?
Look at these two pages.
They got doubled up during photocopying so it's a little unclear.
It's okay, I'll go and look it up in the library myself.
Qiao Fei, I need to speak to you.
Mr. Cheng, you need to speak to Qiao Fei?
Am I interrupting you guys?
It's okay, I can go outside.
Not at all, you can keep working.
Let's go outside.
Why did Wu Ming seem so uptight?
I don't know, maybe he's stressed over Ambassador Gabe tomorrow.
But I think he was picking on you.
What would he do that?
- I just think he's weird. - No, he's not.
So what's up?
Let's do another simultaneous interpreting training tonight.
What's wrong?
Don't you want to practice?
I don't want to practice anymore, Jia Yang.
What if I really can't overcome my fear of the interpretation booth?
I'm sure you can.
How can you be so sure?
- I really can't do it. - Why did you lose all your confidence?
You were never a loser to me.
I'm not a loser, but I just can't step inside an interpretation booth.
If others can do it, then you can do it, too.
But what if I really can't do it?
What happened to you?
Where did your confidence go?
Please don't disappoint me.
I'm afraid you'll be very disappointed.
I really can't do it.
- I have to get back to work. - Seven o'clock tonight.
- See you in the interpretation booth. - Please don't force me.
I'm not forcing you, I'm just trying to encourage you.
You've been progressing very well from our recent daily practice.
You're improving every day.
If you give up now
then all our efforts would be wasted.
Why would you suddenly decide to give up?
I just feel that I can't put up with the pressure.
The Qiao Fei that I know isn't that vulnerable.
The Qiao Fei that I love doesn't give up that easily.
Then perhaps you don't really know me at all.
Perhaps you've fallen in love with the wrong person.
Seven o'clock tonight, I'll be waiting for you.
Wait...
- Where's Ao Tian? - He's in the VIP dressing room.
Can you take me there?
I don't think that's a good idea.
We'll see you at the press conference.
What do you mean it's not a good idea?
Maybe you're not as important as you think you are.
It's none of your business.
Wait.
I'd like to invite the main characters of "Love at the End of the World"
Ao Tian, Zhuang Tian Tian
and Wu Jia Yi to come on stage.
You're now welcome to ask them questions.
We have plenty of time today
so I'm sure we can answer every one of your questions.
- Excuse me. - Yes, sir.
I'd like to ask the first female lead a question.
- Sure. - Hello, Tian Tian.
We noticed that your costumes in this period drama are all very beautiful.
Especially the fur that you're wearing right now.
I'm sure it's genuine fur.
Can you tell us if it's mink fur?
I'm not sure if you realize this
but the production process of furs are actually very cruel.
It actually requires skinning an animal alive.
So nowadays a lot of national as well as international celebrities
are already actively involved in demonstrating anti-fur actions.
So as a famous national actress
aren't you concerned about our environment at all?
Why would you skin an animal alive for the sake of your own beauty and glamour?
Can you please explain?
I...
Hi, everyone, it's just a misunderstanding.
Tian Tian's a very loving person.
She's normally very concerned about animal welfare.
- Then why is she wearing fur? - That's because...
That's because it's not my fur.
It actually belongs to Miss Wu Jia Yi.
I only borrowed it from her because I thought it was nice.
That's right.
The reason why we didn't ask whether it was genuine or fake fur
was because Tian Tian never wears genuine furs.
I admit that it's our fault for not checking.
Please accept our apology.
- I'm very sorry. - That's right.
Jia Yi, make sure you don't wear furs again.
It's very cruel to skin animals alive.
But...
It's not my fur, why are you giving it to me?
Jia Yi, it's okay to make mistakes.
What? But I didn't make any mistakes.
- It's your fur. - Why are you saying this?
You even had to think about it before you lent it to me yesterday.
Ao Tian... say something.
You were also there that day.
Tell them whose fur it is.
Yeah, Ao Tian, tell them.
- Whose fur is it? - Can you tell us?
I'm not sure.
You...
- So is it yours? - Ao Tian.
Can't you recognize my clothes?
Is this fur mine?
Ao Tian, during our fitting the other day did you see this fur?
It's true that this fur isn't Tian Tian's.
Just like I said, it's Jia Yi's.
So it's the second female lead's fur.
- Let's take some photos. - Ao Tian.
I can't believe you're not sticking up for me.
Jia Yi, just admit it and don't do it again.
Wu Jia Yi, how can you be so cruel?
- Thank you, bye. - Bye.
Wait, where's Ao Tian?
Jia Yi.
You've already done enough damage for Ao Tian.
What? I'm a victim, too.
Not too loud, there are still reporters around.
How could you be so immature?
Listen, Ao Tian's absolutely mad right now.
So am I, he didn't even stick up for me at all.
Not too loud.
Don't even think about using Ao Tian for free advertising.
- I never thought about that. - You idiot.
- Don't call her an idiot. - Stop it.
Stop causing trouble.
Take me to see Ao Tian.
I tried to call him but he didn't pick up.
- He's at an interview. - Is he staying here?
- I'll wait here for him. - Whatever.
Let's go.
- Tian Tian, that fur-- - I have nothing to say to you.
Tian Tian needs to do her makeup.
Let's go.
- You can go first. - What about you?
- I need to see Ao Tian. - He didn't bother to protect you at all.
Why would you want to see him?
Perhaps he has his reasons.
- I'm going to ask him-- - You idiot.
- Hi, Jia Ming. -
No, like I said, it was just anemia and a little too much stress.
Make sure you take regular meals.
Is it really busy at the Institute?
I thought you've already become a full-time employee.
Why are you still so stressed over work?
I need to improve myself.
I'll talk to him for you.
You shouldn't overwork yourself.
Don't tell him that I passed out, okay?
Why not?
Does that mean it'll be our little secret?
Stop it.
One last reminder.
Don't be mistaken by my appearance.
I actually really care about you, my friend.
Why did you leave work without waiting for me?
Something's come up.
Then I'll wait for you in the interpretation booth.
I don't want to practice today.
No, you must challenge yourself.
I have to prepare for Gabe's exhibition tomorrow.
No excuses.
You're really stressing me out.
Well, it's up to you whether you're coming or not.
But I'll be waiting there for you regardless.
No matter how late it gets.
Let's go.
You can go.
I didn't ask you to wait with me.
Ao Tian.
Ao Tian...
My goodness, you're still here.
Ao Tian, I want to hear your explanation.
What explanation?
About what happened today.
Let's talk inside.
What? You want me to apologize?
I was her scapegoat so I'm the victim.
Why would you ask me to apologize to her?
Jia Yi, how can you be so immature?
Tian Tian's a superstar.
- Her reputation's very important. - Then what about my reputation?
She's the first female lead.
If those environmentalists accuse her of wearing animal fur
it'll damage the reputation of our drama.
Jia Yi, look at the big picture.
I also invested into this drama so I don't want to make a loss.
How dare you talk about money when I got blamed for something I didn't do?
Think about it from my perspective.
If I had not invested tens of millions of dollars in it
do you really think you'd become the second female lead?
Listen, I'll go with you to apologize to Tian Tian.
Otherwise they'll have no choice
but to withdraw you from the second female lead role.
I'm not going.
I'll never apologize to her even if it means I'm going to lose the role.
Also, to hell with her reputation.
I'm the one whose reputation is damaged now.
I can't believe you'd tell such a lie and accuse me
just because of money.
In that case
I guess there's no need to say anything else.
Jia Yi, I'm very disappointed at you.
I think it's the other way around.
You didn't even try to stick up for me when she accused me.
Listen, Ao Tian, you're messing with the wrong person.
I'll definitely get you back for this.
If you don't clarify this for me
then I'll go on Twitter and tell everyone the truth.
- I'll even hold a press conference! - Wu Jia Yi!
I never thought you're that kind of a person.
So they're right after all.
All you want is to use my reputation to become famous.
- I didn't believe them back then. - Is that really what you think?
It's exactly what you're doing now.
Wu Jia Yi, if you dare tell the media then we're over.
Ao Tian.
I don't care, it's over!
So I guess we can be total strangers from now on.
Ao Tian, I'll cook you alive.
Do you really think I can't live without you?
Listen, I'll still be able to take on other dramas without your help.
You better stop eating.
You'll probably end up eating the whole pot.
If you don't shut up then I'll eat you up, too.
I knew I've always been your cup of tea.
Stop coughing, you're spreading...
- Why are you so hot? - I'm fine.
Come here, let me see.
You have a fever.
No, I don't.
What's your temperature?
38.9 degrees Celsius.
That's almost 39 degrees Celsius.
Then why did you stay with me the whole day?
I was just doing my job.
Why care about doing your job when you have such a high fever?
What if you die on the job?
- Come on. - Where are we going?
- To the pharmacy. - I'm okay, keep eating.
- Just shut up and come with me. - I'm fine.
We haven't paid the check yet.
I was wondering why the light's still on.
- Why are you still here? - I need to work overtime.
It's okay, you can go first.
I'll turn off the lights for you.
It's certainly not easy being interpreters.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
Your place is really nice.
I was expecting a dirtier and messier place.
Wu Jia Yi, don't you look down on me.
I was brought up with traditional British culture and education.
I'm an absolute gentleman.
A gentleman or a lunatic?
- Get it right, okay? - You can go now, I'm fine.
Aren't you going to offer me water or something?
- Hot or cold? - Whatever.
Why are you rushing me to go home?
You must be hiding a secret at home.
Be quiet.
- Oh my, Wang Xu Dong, you're a pervert. - No, it's not what you think.
Oh my goodness.
Why did you put up my poster on your wall?
This was done by the agency, even I didn't get a copy.
Tell me, how did you get it?
The printing company made a mistake so I recycled it.
The printing company made a mistake?
Yeah, right.
Tell me, what have you got in mind?
I know.
Even the brand of water that you drink is called Yi Quan.
It's the same "Yi" as my name.
You better explain yourself.
Listen.
I guess you can be considered as one of our company's investment failures.
- What did you say? - I made a mistake.
I just want to take revenge on you, okay?
What?
See this?
I've got your poster up there so that I can stab you with this.
Whenever you yell at me or be mean to me then I'll...
Wang Xu Dong, you're sick.
All right, I don't have the energy to fight with you right now.
Hey, sicko, are you okay?
Lie down... slowly.
Wait here, I'll get your medicine.
Wake up.
Get up and take your medicine.
Come on, get up.
Take your time, it's really hot.
I should have poisoned your drink and kill you.
Get some sleep.
I knew you'd come.
- You've really been waiting all night. - That's right.
Because I have confidence in you.
How can you be so silly?
But I don't have any confidence at all.
Have you ever thought that perhaps I'll never be able to do this?
Stop being so hesitant.
Just do the best you can.
As long as you're willing to do it then you'll definitely improve.
Remember how we've already overcome your fear of simultaneous interpreting?
You did absolutely fine when you were blindfolded.
You can do simultaneous interpreting.
Make sure you keep reminding yourself.
- I can do simultaneous interpreting. - Say it again.
I can do simultaneous interpreting.
Come on, let's go inside.
Let's do this together and identify the root of your problem.
