[Episode 15]
[Qiao Fei]
Hello?
How come you left?
Didn't I say I'd take you home the next few days?
I... I'm at home now.
My colleague dropped me off.
Don't worry. That's all.
Boyfriend?
No.
My roommate is asking me when I'll be home.
Why don't you buy a house?
I bought one that's over 70 ping.
There have been some policy changes to getting mortgages.
Now is the time to buy real estate.
I bought a house in Jiading. It's a bit far, but there's the metro.
It's quite convenient.
I don't have that much money lying around.
I have a butt-load of debt.
Are you considering the job I told you about last time?
I'm not going. You haven't gone either.
I didn't go because you didn't go.
Why?
Drive safely.
Why haven't you left yet?
Didn't the meeting end early?
Qiao Fei sprained her ankle so I came to see her.
I think Hao Zhe took her home.
Don't worry.
So it really isn't Qiao Fei?
No.
I thought so too.
You wouldn't... with an intern, right?
Maybe I've just been exhausted lately.
When will you introduce us to your girlfriend?
Figure out what's going on between you and Han Mei Mei
before you start worrying about others.
How did you know?
There's nothing going on between Mei Mei and me, okay?
I...
What's going on that you'd make me drive here at night?
Drive me to find my car.
You don't know where you parked?
I know the approximate location.
All right, enough chit chat. Just go wherever I tell you to go.
My wife is so beautiful and noble.
And so dignified.
It's okay.
We're already married anyway.
We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
You drank too much again last night.
That was nothing.
Why don't you ask me how many business deals I closed?
Ever since I announced that we were getting married
I've been closing business deal after business deal.
What do you think, my dear? Are you happy?
It's fine as long as you're happy.
I'm not the only one who's happy.
Your dad is really happy too.
His face is crinkled from smiling so much.
My dear, give me a kiss.
You reek of alcohol.
Go take a shower first.
I have to pack for Switzerland.
What's there to pack?
You can get things there.
I'll arrange for someone to take photos of you in your wedding dress.
It'll be at our vineyard.
You'll be the spokesperson for our Chinese-Swiss vineyard.
What great marketing.
Okay, okay.
Qiao Fei.
Cheng Jia Yang is here.
I'll get it!
Are you ready?
I already said that you don't have to pick me up every day.
I'm willing to.
Qiao Fei, another car is here.
The one that brought you home last night.
You're quite popular lately.
If I wanted to take you to work, I'd have to get in line.
Have you even thought about taking me to work?
I wouldn't conspire against you.
You asked him to come pick you up?
I told him he didn't have to come.
He'll recognize my car.
It looks like you still need my help at critical times.
Remember to repay me.
What are you looking at?
You've never seen a nice car?
Hello? Hao Zhe?
I've already left.
It's okay.
I took a taxi.
I'm almost at the Institute.
Bye bye.
What?
You really know how to lie.
You're already on your way?
How am I going to get to the Institute before him?
I didn't think that far ahead.
- What do we do? - What can we do?
When Jia Yi returns my car, I'll just try and get there quickly.
Let's hurry and leave.
Then everything should be fine.
Come back early.
Thanks.
Bye.
Is it over yet?
If I keep doing this
when my foot gets better, my lower back won't be okay.
Endure it for a bit longer. They'll be gone soon.
This is more tiring than taking a bus.
Okay, you can get up now.
Mr. Tian!
Jia Yang.
- What's wrong? - Your girlfriend?
Yes, she had an allergic reaction on her face.
She dropped some stuff on the floor. She's picking it up.
You should go up first.
You locked the car. How is she going to get out?
She can come out.
Let's go.
Good morning.
Why are you only coming in now?
I went to the bathroom.
Qiao Fei.
Mr. Cheng.
Your foot isn't better yet?
Keep organizing the materials I gave you yesterday.
Mr. Cheng, do we have to work overtime tonight?
If not, I'd like to take Qiao Fei to the hospital to get her foot looked at.
- It's okay. - You haven't gone to the hospital?
I had it looked at. It wasn't a big deal.
Don't worry. Let's go.
Look at how swollen it is. You should go get an x-ray.
All right, take your seats.
Thanks, Dad.
Xiao Hua, Zhou Nan, have you prepared everything for Switzerland?
There's not much to prepare. Just some little things.
We haven't finished packing yet.
I went to the Institute with her today.
The Institute?
He wants me to pass out wedding candies.
Yes. Otherwise some people wouldn't even know that you married me.
It was my first time going to the Institute.
I originally thought it was a big deal, but it's just a run-down building.
Those interpreters are not such big deals.
You don't think anyone is a big deal.
As long as my wife thinks highly of me, then I'm fine.
Xiao Hua, do you think highly of me?
If she didn't, would she have married you?
There are a lot of people who want to date her.
But you're the best one.
That's why you are my ideal son-in-law.
Dad, I like hearing you say that.
Here, let's have a drink.
Okay.
It's confirmed. They say she lives with Cheng Jia Yang.
Haven't you noticed that Cheng Jia Yang has changed a lot lately?
How could I not have noticed?
Not only does he not yell at people, but he also smiles at us.
- They say it's because of Qiao Fei. - Because of whom?
Qiao Fei?
You don't know?
Qiao Fei is quite skilled. She won over the Devil.
Really?
Wait, but doesn't Qiao Fei always contradict him?
Contradict?
They have an intimate relationship.
They pretend to be mean to each other, but they're dating.
You wouldn't understand.
We've been like third wheels.
We're really foolish.
Qiao Fei is really scheming.
She's not just an ordinary schemer.
Last time, she had us all call him by his nickname.
His nickname was the Devil.
I even followed Qiao Fei and called Cheng Jia Yang the Devil.
She sold me out.
I have no shot at getting a permanent position here.
You're not the only one.
We're all screwed.
It'll definitely be Qiao Fei.
Hao Zhe, you're here.
Let's eat together.
It's okay, I bought lunch to go.
Why did you buy two lunches?
Qiao Fei twisted her ankle. I bought lunch for her.
Hao Zhe, don't blindly worry about her anymore.
There's already someone taking care of her. You'll have to get in line.
Just think about it. We're just interns.
How can we compete with the chief?
What chief? What do you mean?
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing.
You're saying such strange things today.
Don't talk about it. You want to make it more complicated?
Me?
Hello, I'd like to place an order.
Yes, for one.
Do you have any nourishing soups?
Okay, I'll take that.
Can you deliver it to the Institute?
Okay, thank you.
Come in.
Mr. Cheng, are you busy?
I wanted to ask you something.
Go ahead.
Are you and Qiao Fei dating?
No.
Are you pursuing her?
Who told you that?
They... they're all saying it.
That's how rumors spread.
It's okay. I know I'm innocent.
It's great if you're fine with just knowing that you're innocent.
But I think that, at the right moment, you should help clear Qiao Fei's name.
What do you mean?
It's not fair to her. Right?
I've been working alongside Qiao Fei.
She works harder than anyone else.
If she gets a permanent position at the Institute through her own efforts
I don't think it'd be good
if people started talking about how she got it through undeserving means.
Since you know this is just a rumor you shouldn't be affected by it.
If you're so easily manipulated by rumors, then you're weak.
Qiao Fei has persevered until now while working under me.
She's definitely not that weak.
Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng! The data that you wanted...
Come here.
I'm fine.
Did I disturb you guys?
No.
I'll leave it here.
We were talking about you.
Hao Zhe said there's a rumor going around the Institute that I like you.
How is that possible?
It wasn't my first time hearing it.
I just wanted to be nice and let you guys know.
Why is there such a rumor?
That's not possible.
Then, do you like me?
All right.
Your head is spinning.
Did you hear that?
I'm not interested in her
and she's not interested in me.
The problem is solved.
Mr. Cheng, I was being meddlesome. Sorry for bothering you.
I'll take Qiao Fei to lunch.
Let's go. Bye bye!
Mr. Cheng, we'll head out now.
Hello.
I just placed an order.
Cell phone number ending in 7063.
I'd like to cancel it.
Thank you.
Come on.
Slowly.
Come on, slowly.
Come on.
Eat it while it's hot.
From now on, I'll get your lunch.
I'll take you home at night.
You eat. I'm not hungry.
Eat, don't throw a tantrum.
What do you mean throw a tantrum? Why are you being so strange?
How am I being strange? I can't care for you?
You don't have to.
I can walk on my own.
- Where are you going? I'll take you. - Let go.
Do you have a lot of free time?
You don't need to practice?
Qiao Fei, come outside with me.
What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?
Did something problematic happen between you and Hao Zhe?
No, I'm fine.
Then sit down and get ready for a test.
Why are you looking at me?
You said you're fine.
Please close your eyes right now.
This is the city hall of Paris. (In French)
The deputy mayor is awarding a woman an honorary citizen award.
Over the past 10 years
this woman has done a lot for Chinese-French relations.

The woman's name is Qiao Fei.
She's an excellent interpreter from China.
Now, she elegantly walks up on stage.
She's getting ready to make her speech.

She's getting ready to make her speech.
Standing here today, I need to thank one person.
He's my instructor, partner, and friend.
He is my life mentor.
Without him, I wouldn't be here today.
He helped me establish a goal
and helped me to understand what a dream is.
Even after achieving success and honor
she still wanted to struggle for her goals.
Even after achieving success and honor
she still wanted to struggle for her goals.
Not bad. Very fluent. Very accurate.
Next, you'll have to go into the interpreter booth.
What is it?
[Hao Zhe]
Hurry and go back.
Don't make him wait too long.
Mr. Cheng, I've been hiding something from you.
You're dating Hao Zhe?
No.
You can date at the Institute.
But it must be after you get a permanent position.
Be mindful. Don't let it affect both of your performances.
I said that I'm not dating him.
Do you not understand Chinese? Should I translate for you?
No.
I'll take you home.
No, it's fine.
You can't get a taxi here.
With you here, I definitely can't get a taxi.
Hao Zhe, thank you for being so nice to me.
But if you keep doing this, others will think that we're dating.
I don't think you should be so nice to me.
For whatever reason.
Thanks.
But I want to take you home.
Hello? Where are you?
Yes, the entrance of the Institute.
There's a woman with a twisted ankle.
Just take her home.
Don't say anything.
Okay, thank you.
- I'll take you. - It's not necessary.
Look at your foot.
Hey.
Your foot looks much better.
Do you remember what you promised me this morning?
It's time for you to repay me.
So soon?
Ta-da!
I've already prepared the outfit for you.
You just need to go to the party, spin around, and talk to others.
They're all award-winning producers.
If we don't do well, I might not get another drama.
These are your shoes.
Are you human?
Don't you know that I twisted my ankle?
You want me to wear such high heels?
Just bear with it for a little bit, okay?
At most, it'll just be for 15 minutes.
Is it that hard to play the role of my assistant?
I'm not playing the role of manager this time?
The way you are now, you can only fit the role of my assistant.
Then can I wear flats?
It's normal for assistants to wear flats.
I promise not to embarrass you.
- Slow down, my shoe's coming off. - I'm already going really slowly.
If we go any slower, there won't be any space to stand.
What a chaotic party. How unreliable.
Dong Dong gave me the invite.
You know Dong Dong, right? She's Zhou Nan's ex-girlfriend.
Zhou Nan? Then I won't go.
Come back. Help me out.
I don't have any dramas right now.
If I don't come to these parties
even if there are roles suitable for me, no one will think of me.
We've agreed on 15 minutes.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
What are you saying?
Please look after me.
Seriously...
It's quite lively in here.
Just looking around, there are so many young women here.
I invited them to have a lively atmosphere.
Mrs. Zhang, you understand.
There are some things in business...
I am Miss Wu's assistant. I am Fei Fei.
Wen Dao, when it comes to business
we should follow the rules when discussing each project.
Look at these youngsters.
They haven't gotten their businesses off the ground
and they're already playing around.
What did I say in the past?
That's why I said you had to ask her for advice more often.
Understand?
I'll leave you two.
Let's go.
It's time. It's time. Let's get ready to leave.
Oh, who's this?
Miss Jia Yi, long time no see.
What have you been busy with lately?
What else would I be busy with?
Just making movies and performing in shows.
Oh yeah, recently I found a very suitable project.
Would you two executives be interested in movies?
This lady is?
This lady is my manager, Qiao Qiao.
Since she just came back from Switzerland, she's still jetlagged.
- She's a bit dizzy. - Yes, I'm a bit dizzy.
This is my business card.
I'm more interested in you.
I didn't bring my business card.
- Do you have time? - No, no, no.
Keep your distance.
If it's okay, please give me your number so we can work together in the future.
Right?
Yes, yes.
Yes, let's keep in touch.
Okay, okay.
You guys keep chatting. I need to go to the restroom.
You guys keep chatting.
Now you're alone.
Who would pay attention to you?
Hello, Jin Bao?
Didn't Jia Ming's girlfriend back then accept your money and then leave?
Yes, when I gave her 50,000 yuan, she wouldn't accept it
and insisted on 100,000 yuan.
And then she disappeared.
What is it?
I think I see her.
Why haven't you been to the hospital this week?
What happened to your foot?
I don't mean to bother you.
You haven't been to the hospital so I came to see you.
Don't ignore me.
Sorry for my attitude.
You don't blame me anymore?
Then we're still friends?
Oh yeah, I wanted to ask you something.
Go ahead.
Why did you suddenly switch your specialty back then
from psychology to neurosurgery
and started researching cavernous hemangioma?
Yes, it's the reason you're thinking of.
Jia Ming, I told you six years ago.
It's not possible between us.
Is it because of my mom
or because of who I was in the past?
Qiao Fei, don't worry.
I won't let anyone else get between us anymore.
I know I was a bit far in the past.
But that's all over now, isn't it?
Since we were able to meet again, maybe it's fate.
No, it isn't.
We're not suitable for each other.
We're only suitable to be friends.
Why?
Did you fall in love with someone else?
I haven't fallen in love with anyone else.
I just want to rely on myself to have my mom cured.
I can help you, Qiao Fei.
I know about the research on cavernous hemangioma both abroad and domestically.
I'm researching this because of you.
I'm sorry, I can't accept this.
It's the same as how I couldn't accept your feelings back then.
But you accepted the money my mom gave you.
Why?
Don't you owe me an explanation for what happened back then?
Of course, I can accept it even if you can't explain.
I know very well how my mom handles my girlfriends.
Your mom didn't do anything.
I was the one who asked her for the money.
Why?
Because that's the kind of person I am.
I needed that money.
I needed that money for my mother's treatments.
Were you that direct?
I don't like beating around the bush.
You could've lied to me and said you had difficulties.
That you still love me.
I would willingly believe you.
I told you, Jia Ming, we're not suitable for each other.
Please don't waste your time here.
Whether I waste my time is up to me. You don't have to worry about that.
Is there someone you love?
I understand.
[Delete contact?]
[Devil]
Even after achieving success and honor
she still wanted to struggle for her goals.
Even after achieving success and honor
she still wanted to struggle for her goals.
Next, you'll have to go into the interpreter booth.
[Devil]
Hello?
Hello, it's me. It's nothing much.
No, there's something.
I'm asking for someone else.
I have a friend who's also studying French.
Her grades are similar to mine
but she has a psychological illness.
What psychological illness?
She can't go into an interpretation booth.
As soon as she goes in, she starts to stutter.
She's trying to get into the Institute.
Is it possible?
It's totally impossible.
I'm in a meeting. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Bye.
I don't think Qiao Fei will go with him.
I think, because Qiao Fei rejected Hao Zhe
Fang Yu gave her a better offer.
What better offer?
Besides higher wages
compared to us, Fang Yu's only weakness
is that it can't provide residency permits.
So they offered that
if the intern can get into our Institute
and they resign after our Institute provides the residency permit
Fang Yu will pay the penalty fee.
That's so underhanded.
What can we do? That's how the market economy works.
How did you know Hao Zhe is changing jobs?
They sent Hao Zhe an email to discuss his salary.
When Hao Zhe was replying, he accidentally CC'ed me.
Chief, what do you think?
It's great. We have a competitor now.
You can't compare these kids to yourselves back in the day.
They're more realistic.
The people who want to leave aren't the ones we want.
Let's just observe for now.
After we finish the work with the Swiss Ministry of Labor and Health
we'll talk to him.
If he really wants to leave, we can't force him to stay.
Baudelaire is the most humane talent of Christian civilization.
His works completely embody
the morality, honor, guilt, and misfortune of the civilization.
At the same time, they also embody
the hatred of beheading people and the end of the world.
Have you decided yet? Are you coming with me or not?
Fang Yu can't provide residency permits.
The Institute can give me one after getting a permanent position.
I... I have to stay here.
Fang Yu said that
we could resign and work there after we get
residency permits from the Institute.
Fang Yu would pay the penalty fee.
These are Fang Yu's conditions.
Take a look.
There's no rush. Think about it carefully.
Starting with Rimbaud, poetry was no longer just literature...
- Good morning. - Good morning.
How much did she hear?
What if she tells Cheng Jia Yang?
Don't worry. I'll talk to her.
Qiao Fei, is your foot better?
Yes, it's all better now.
Now we don't have to be so awkward around each other anymore.
I'm going to leave the Institute.
You're leaving?
I don't think there's any reason to stay.
I was a bit rash before. I'm sorry about that.
Can we still be friends?
Of course.
Please don't tell the instructors about me leaving, okay?
I want to tell them myself.
Okay. Be prudent with your decision.
You too.
- Take this. - This...
The instructors at Fang Yu really admire you.
I can't take this.
I want to stay at the Institute.
About your leaving...
you should decide quickly and notify them.
That would be most fair to everyone.
I'll head inside first.
Everything is different now.
Besides being a little more prestigious
there's nothing else that makes the Institute better.
Do you really think you can become an ambassador?
Even if you do become one, it'll take years.
Qiao Fei, have you finished preparing the documents?
I've already sent them to you. Here is the paper copy.
Come with me to the library.
Mr. Cheng.
Oh yeah, last night, you told me about your friend--
Don't worry about it. Pretend I never said anything.
Can you keep it a secret?
In her situation, she's not fit to be at our Institute.
- Is it that serious? - Yes, it is.
It's a matter of principle.
Do you have any solutions for my friend?
The Institute isn't a hospice.
Qiao Fei might have told Cheng Jia Yang.
She promised me she wouldn't say anything.
I saw her muttering with Cheng Jia Yang.
She asked that Cheng Jia Yang keep it a secret.
Cheng Jia Yang said "If that's the case"
"they're not fit to work at our Institute."
What do you think they were talking about?
Even if she did tell, it's not a big deal.
We haven't made a decision.
I'm just afraid this will bring us trouble.
Have you translated the documents
from the Swiss Ministry of Labor and Health
regarding the reform of the Chinese medical system?
Yes, I have. I'm waiting to discuss it.
Originally, I didn't want to talk about this at work
but you keep talking to me about it.
Look.
Do you know why I asked you to organize the documents?
No.
Because I heard you talk about your mother's illness.
Right now, we can't perform surgery for that illness domestically
so I wanted you to take this opportunity
to consult with Swiss medical experts.
Thank you.
Don't overthink it.
I didn't have you organize the documents
to make it easier for you to ask questions.
I thought that since you have an ill family member
it's best that you know more information about it.
It would've been great if you hadn't said that.
I'd rather feel like I owe you a favor than feel like I have to do extra work.
I wanted to say that I would understand
if you made any decisions that were best for you.
So... can I consult with them or not?
There really isn't anything you want to tell me?
No.
Good.
It's been quite busy here lately.
I don't want anything to go wrong.
You don't think Qiao Fei really told Cheng Jia Yang, do you?
What's going on? What are you discussing?
Nothing. We're discussing translations for a document.
You two come with me to a meeting.
Okay.
You should stay and keep translating the document.
I finished. I think it'd be good for me to listen in too.
Then find something else to do.
Isn't Hao Zhe one of your interns?
Yes, the Institute has other plans for him.
Think about it.
Fang Yu is offering really great benefits.
You'll have better prospects there than at the Institute.
Are you going to come with me or not?
What is it?
Qiao Fei must have told Cheng Jia Yang about you leaving.
Otherwise Li Lei wouldn't be treating you like this.
How about this?
Rather than getting fired...
let's just all leave together.
Have you two decided yet?
Getting stabbed in the back like this
we'll have to leave even if we don't want to.
I'm going out to a lot of events this month.
I heard that besides our wages
and the money we get from events
we even get bonuses after our internship ends.
What happens if you get fired?
But they have to give us a reason for firing us.
It can't just be based on Cheng Jia Yang and Qiao Fei's words.
Fine.
If worse comes to worst, I'll just resign myself.
I won't drag you down with me.
You guys stay at the Institute.
No matter how long you know someone, you still don't know their true self.
I can't believe Qiao Fei is someone who would stab someone in the back.
This move was vicious.
So the rumors weren't baseless.
Weren't there rumors about how close she is with Cheng Jia Yang?
If there isn't a better explanation for this line
we can look at the next one.
The baby phoenixes sing better than the old ones.
How would you translate that?
Let's discuss your thoughts.
[Gao Jia Ming]
[I'm in a meeting.]
I think we can translate it as
"The baby phoenixes sing better than the old phoenixes."
"Sing"? I think it's better to translate it in the future tense.
Because the Swiss press release said that
after the medical system reform, the young doctors will do better.
That is in the future.
Maybe translating it in future tense will be better.
Li Shang Yin was probably talking about the future when he wrote that line.
Then we can change it to
"The baby phoenixes will sing better than the old phoenixes."
Really?
You won't later secretly tell Mr. Cheng
that translating it in the present tense will be better?
Hao Zhe! Hao Zhe!
What is it?
Is there something you want me to do
or is it something that Mr. Cheng asked you to tell me to do?
I... I think you have something against me lately.
Me? No. I wouldn't dare.
We're friends. If there's a misunderstanding, let's talk about it.
There's nothing to say.
I won't talk to you about anything anymore
to avoid you telling Cheng Jia Yang about it.
What did I tell Cheng Jia Yang?
About me changing jobs.
I didn't.
Didn't you tell me to keep it a secret? I promised you I would.
If you say you haven't, you haven't. But God knows.
I really didn't tell. Please believe me.
Believe you?
I really don't know if I should believe you.
Not just me.
None of the interns know how to treat you.
What exactly did I do?
Qiao Fei, don't you think you're too close with Cheng Jia Yang?
Although the Institute is one big family
you're still an intern.
They're instructors.
There are still lines that you shouldn't cross.
Don't you think you're too intimate with Cheng Jia Yang?
He's my mentor.
When you put it that way, what can I say?
Just don't deceive others and yourself.
Ask yourself honestly.
Are you and Cheng Jia Yang really just colleagues?
