[Les Interprètes]
[Episode 22]
- Watch your step. - Jia Yang, where are you taking me?
I'm taking you to a simultaneous interpretation training booth.
Here's the chair.
Okay, sit down.
Put on the headphones.
I'll start playing some information.
The representative of China who's permanently based in Switzerland
as well as representatives from other countries have attended...
Your five minutes of simultaneous interpretation was flawless.
Did I just finish an interpretation in an interpretation booth?
I knew you could do it.
Your problem isn't with simultaneous interpretation
but this interpretation booth.
Can I do simultaneous interpretation blindfolded in the future?
Of course not.
You'll have to keep an eye on your partner's mouth
and read urgent information so that you can jump in when necessary.
Who would help you to the interpretation booth if you were blindfolded?
You'd just be causing trouble for your partner.
That's why I said I still can't do it.
That's not true.
We're starting to make progress.
We've already established
that you have a fear of the sight of this booth.
So all we need to do is to find out what it is that you're scared of.
Actually it's not that special at all.
It's built with aluminum alloy panels.
Is it the window or the door that you're not happy with?
That's not it.
- It's not that. - Then what is it?
Let's think about this.
You are now entering the booth.
You close the door and lock it.
You sit down.
Jia Yang.
As I sit here and look at the rows of chairs in front of me
it makes me really nervous.
- The chairs? - Yeah.
You mean you feel very nervous about interpreting at a formal event?
- You don't usually get stage fright. - No, it's just that...
Even if I'm sitting here right now
without anyone sitting in those chairs
just the sight of those chairs makes me very nervous.
Let's take our time and work through this.
It'll take some time to solve the problem that's been troubling you for years.
Let's try again.
- Slow down. - Hurry, we don't have time.
- What's the rush? - Thank goodness you're finally here.
Ao Tian's doing his best to hold them back for you.
Even the first female lead is waiting for you.
The first female lead?
She's not angry at me, is she?
Of course she is, you're just the supporting actress.
But luckily, she's not angry at Ao Tian.
You're so lucky that Ao Tian was sticking up for you.
Go and get changed, it's a historical drama.
We need it for our press conference.
Go on.
Okay.
Ao Tian.
Jia Yi, here you are.
Tian Tian, come here.
Let me introduce you.
She's my junior, she'll be playing my sister.
- Hello, Tian Tian. - I've seen your dramas, I love them.
- Thank you. - She's really cute.
Since Ao Tian recommended you, you must be really good.
Yeah, right.
You're being too nice to her.
Let's do our makeup.
- Makeup, please. - You can do Jia Yi's makeup first.
Look at her.
She suddenly becomes so gentle once she sees a handsome guy.
But she glares at me all the time.
At the China-Switzerland Financial Summit
the Chinese prime minster announced that
not only will it benefit both countries, but it'll also benefit the whole world.
The meeting was held in Beijing this Thursday.
Okay.
I've found the root of the problem.
You just can't put up with seeing the event.
That's easy enough.
But how can I not see the event during simultaneous interpretation?
I must keep an eye on the speaker's reactions.
Look, you're getting nervous again.
One minute you can't even enter the interpretation booth
but you want to solve your problem immediately.
It's not that easy.
Then when can my problem be solved?
Be patient.
Why are you so impatient when your teacher's being so patient?
- It's Mr. Tian. - Take it.
Hello, Mr. Tian.
The police station?
I can explain this.
I'll see you at the Institute tomorrow.
Goodbye, Mr. Tian.
Is it the misunderstanding from last time?
- You know about that? - Of course I do.
Someone submitted a complaint to the Institute.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I wanted to solve our most important problem first.
Okay, we've now identified the culprit
that's stopping you from entering the interpretation booth.
So what we'll do now is to try and solve your phobia.
As for the complaint letter
you better explain to Mr. Tian.
Look at all the trouble I've gotten myself into.
It'll all add to your experience.
Don't worry, I'll go and see Mr. Tian with you tomorrow.
Come on, let's call it a day.
Hey.
How do I look?
You're actually
quite an eye-opener.
You must have put
about two kilos of powder on your face.
Then there's your bloody red lips and snake-like hairdo.
- You look so scary. - It's a period drama.
Bright red lips are part of the vintage look, get it?
Did you think I wanted to spend all day to come up with this look?
I'm tired just from watching you.
Hey, want to go out for dinner tonight?
I can't.
I have a date with Ao Tian in his room.
- He's ordered room service. - Room service?
So I guess you'll be the takeout girl, right?
- Are you crazy? - Yeah, I must be crazy.
Why would I want to be your assistant when I'm the boss of a company?
I'm going.
Don't go, you have to take me home.
- What about your handsome guy? - Hey.
I'm definitely terminating my contract with you.
Mr. Tian, I've never done anything bad at all.
That was my first time in a police station since I came to Shanghai.
They let me go after they discovered that I was innocent.
Mr. Tian, I was part of it, so I can be her witness.
What Qiao Fei said is true.
The person who wrote that letter obviously wanted to defame her
because she's jealous of her.
In that case
don't worry, the Institute will definitely look into it.
It's really just a misunderstanding.
You can check with the police station if you don't believe me.
Then you'll know I'm not hiding anything.
Really?
Qiao Fei, the reason I asked you to explain the complaint letter
is not because I don't believe you.
It's because we must have a thorough understanding
of the personalities of all our permanent staff.
- Permanent staff? - Don't you get it?
You're now a full-time employee.
Congratulations.
They had very strict selection criteria this time.
Only three interns from Cheng Jia Yang's team were selected.
You, Yang Yan, and Wu Ming.
Really? We're on the same team?
That's right, you'll be working with Cheng Jia Yang, Li Lei, and Han Mei Mei.
As for your tasks from now on
both consecutive and simultaneous interpreting are equally important.
Are you sure you can handle it?
Of course she can.
Jia Yang, I was asking Qiao Fei, not you.
She's no longer your intern.
She's now your colleague so you should respect her opinions.
Colleague, tell us what you think.
Qiao Fei, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting are equally important.
Are you sure you can handle it?
Mr. Tian, I'll do my best.
Good.
The Institute really needs new blood like you.
Congratulations to the three of you.
Welcome to our team.
You've certainly come a long way.
You already know him from your internship so I won't need to introduce him.
Just one thing.
In regards to the letter which challenged Qiao Fei's professional qualifications
the Head of the Institute has looked into the contents of the complaint
and concluded that it is baseless.
A detailed report is also available on our website.
I'll now pass it over to Mr. Cheng.
First rule.
In order to improve the quality of your work in the first year
you must not take on any part-time cases.
I'll tell you everything else later.
Qiao Fei, can you interpret these meeting minutes for me?
Translate these documents and cross-check them before you give them back to me.
So, where should we sit?
Wu Ming, you can sit there and Yang Yan can sit opposite him.
Qiao Fei.
Look, Jin Bao.
"Our investigation has proved that it was a false allegation against our intern."
It's Qiao Fei that they're talking about, right?
I wonder where they heard about her fraudulent deeds.
I only found out about it after I asked a few people at her institute.
They said she went out with one of her customers and got caught.
What else could it be?
Hang on, Jin Bao.
You'd better tell me the full story from start to finish.
But it's been a very long time.
- I can't remember it clearly. - I can remind you if necessary.
I remember I called her because I wanted to see her.
Then what happened?
Auntie, I can tell you for sure that I'm not dating Gao Jia Ming.
We're not in a relationship at all.
I'm glad to know that.
Miss Qiao, I know you're a great girl.
But there's something you must understand.
The gap between our families is quite huge.
Jia Ming can get very sentimental at times
so I hope that you
can be the wise and rational person when it comes to this issue.
Auntie, we're not in a relationship at all.
Please believe me.
Excuse me, I need to take this.
Hello?
Okay, I'll be right there, Dr. Wang.
Okay.
Sorry, I can't talk right now, something's come up.
Jin Bao.
Jin Bao, I need you to take care of the problem
with Jia Ming and that girl.
Jia Ming cares about you a lot.
But his mom also cares about him a lot.
That's why you've now become someone that we all care about.
That's also why I wanted to see you today.
Did someone in your family get sick lately?
Or perhaps you're having some difficulties?
I can take care of my own family affairs.
I understand that a single girl can't earn that much money.
You should know that Jia Ming's mom is an entrepreneur
so money is not a problem for her--
Uncle, when I talked to Auntie last time
I told her everything that I wanted to say.
There are no money issues between me and Jia Ming or our families.
I know what you're worried about.
Jia Ming and I are just friends. I'll explain it to him.
Really?
In that case, I'm totally relieved now.
Jia Ming will be back soon after spending a few months overseas.
I guess none of us would want him to be affected by this, right?
Jia Ming has always treated me very well.
As much as I'm very grateful for him I also feel a great deal of pressure.
I really don't deserve his kindness.
As his family, please try to talk to him
and tell him to stop being so nice to me.
I have to get back to work now.
Okay.
100,000 yuan?
Do you think your dad owns a bank?
I've already given you 200,000 yuan.
Uncle.
I'm busy right now, we'll talk later.
Yes, Miss Qiao.
Did you just deposit 100,000 yuan into my account?
Well...
not everything needs to be said so clearly.
I think we need to make everything as clear as possible.
I already returned the money so you better check your account.
You returned it to me?
- Did you get the money? - Yeah.
Then I'm going, Uncle.
No, wait, Miss Qiao.
I hope you can understand how Jia Ming's mom feels.
- She only wants what's best for her son. - I know what you mean.
I already said we're not dating
but you wouldn't believe me.
I'll be leaving Xiamen very soon.
Don't worry, I'll talk to Jia Ming myself.
- You're leaving? - Yes.
Since you've already made up your mind to leave him
I don't think it's necessary for you to talk it out with Jia Ming at all.
The quickest way
is not to stay in touch with him.
Then he'll definitely understand what it means.
Just be a bad guy
and break his heart.
He'll get over it in no time.
Are you telling me to just go without saying anything to him?
- I'm not sure-- - You're such a hesitant person.
Once you see him and start talking to him
you'll become soft-hearted again and you won't be able to leave my nephew.
- Miss, I beg you. - I...
Please do him one last favor if you're truly not in love with him.
Jia Ming is especially fragile when it comes to relationships.
He's fallen head over heels for you.
So you can't even give him even the slightest glimpse of hope.
Listen to me, just leave.
I'd already given her 100,000 yuan.
She promised that she'd never see Jia Ming again.
- Then what? - Then...
Then I have her the money that you gave me.
She said she'd use it for her mom's medical fees.
I... I did manage to stop her from seeing Jia Ming, didn't I?
I think she's just using Jia Ming.
The most skillful lie is to tell the truth.
- What do you mean? - That's exactly what you've done.
It's true that Hao Zhe came to see us and we did consider his offer.
But you misled the Head of Institute
into believing that we were all going to resign
- and that you're the most loyal. - That's enough.
- She's our colleague. - Listen.
I knew nothing about you guys planning to leave with Hao Zhe.
He said he'd talk to the Head of Institute himself
so I promised that I wouldn't tell anyone.
Come on, do you expect me to believe that?
Are you trying to use your wits to play office politics?
I think you've been reading too many bad novels.
Even if you dislike me you don't have to be so two-faced.
If you have something against me, then just tell me.
Okay, that's enough.
We've already become full-time employees.
What's the point of arguing over this?
Do you know how many people have sacrificed for her?
First there's...
I'm going home.
I'll go after I finish this.
- Cold drinks again? - It helps to keep me awake.
Drink this, it should warm up your stomach.
- How's it going? - Almost done.
I just need to adjust the format
and check some spellings.
I'm going to read through it anyway.
- Didn't you know that? - I know.
If I can get it right the first time then it'll save you a lot of work, right?
So how do you feel about your first day at work?
I feel like...
I've finally made it into the office that I've always dreamed about.
Aren't you mad at me?
For not talking to you and giving you the worst spot in the office.
Even when everyone ignored you, I still didn't say anything about it.
- Are you serious? - You mean you didn't notice?
Don't try to change the subject.
You did that on purpose?
Otherwise it would be too obvious.
I must be harsher on you than I am on anyone else.
I thought it'd be a very easy job.
Why did it become hard mode?
The talented mode is only suitable for capable people.
That's you.
Did you also give me the worst spot in the office?
My desk is much closer to the door.
- That's right. - You...
- Want to know why? - Why?
This way I can always see you from my office.
Jia Yang, have you finished your work?
Xiao Hua, you're back.
- Xiao Hua. - Hi, Qiao Fei.
Of course, did you think I'd still be waiting for you at the airport?
Are you busy right now?
No, have a seat.
I'd like to have a chat with you in private.
Then I better go home.
Mr. Cheng.
Can I email you the first draft tomorrow?
Sure, take care on the way home.
Careful! Don't get electrocuted!
- You guys talk, bye. - Bye.
I waited for you for a while but then I had to leave.
Did you end up going?
Why isn't she picking up?
Jia Yang, I've been doing some thinking.
I was too focused on having a splendid beginning with you.
But what if the book didn't get delivered?
What if the note inside the book had gotten lost?
What if it was all too late when you finally read it?
Or what if you had gone on a business trip?
Then we would have missed each other again.
Xiao Hua.
The reason I didn't go and pick you up was because I wanted you to be happy.
You already married Zhou Nan.
I don't think marriage is a joke.
The two of you should try and get along with one another.
That's why I asked Uncle Wen to pick you up instead.
Did he end up picking you up?
I only found out my dad had gone to pick me up after I got home that day.
I'm a very impatient person.
Although I said I'd wait an hour for you
I left after only waiting for 10 minutes or so.
Let's go.
That's good, at least I didn't keep you waiting.
Jia Yang, I remember you telling me
- that you shouldn't let love slip away. - That's right.
That's why I'm not going to let the woman I've met slip away.
Looks like I've missed out on quite a lot.
- So you and Zhou Nan-- - What's her name?
- Qiao Fei. - Qiao Fei?
The girl who just left?
Don't tell anyone, it's still a secret.
You're not going to have a secret love affair, are you?
No, but Qiao Fei's gone through a lot in order to become full-time staff.
If I let everyone know that she's my girlfriend
then it'll be very unfair to her.
I don't want her to live in my shadow all the time.
You're so thoughtful.
Love is such a wonderful thing.
It can make someone become so gentle.
Okay, I only wanted to come here and tell you that I'm back.
- Then I'll-- - You better go and see Qiao Fei.
I'll see you next time.
You certainly walk very fast.
- I could have walked even faster. - Why did you leave by yourself?
It's okay for Xiao Hua to know about us.
We don't have to hide it from her.
Perhaps I've gotten used to it.
We already agreed that no one at the Institute should know about us.
Also...
every time I see Miss Wen...
I just feel...
only someone who's as talented as she is
deserves a boyfriend like you.
I'm not good at anything. I can't even do simultaneous interpreting.
Why did you suddenly lose all your self-confidence?
That's not the Qiao Fei that I know.
You're usually very proud of yourself.
Actually, every time I see Miss Wen...
I feel inferior.
She's so great and talented
and you've liked her for such a long time...
I really hate myself for having such contradicting feelings.
You silly girl.
Where did you get all these crazy ideas?
Listen.
All you need to do is to take care of your emotions.
Just let me know if you're upset about anything.
Tomorrow
I'm going to tell my family about you.
Jia Yang, I love you.
What was that?
I didn't quite hear you.
A car just went past.
Can you say it again?
If I heard right, I think you said
"Cheng Jia Yang, I love you." Is that right?
I didn't say anything.
- You're lying. Don't try to lie. - I didn't say that.
I've made up my mind.
[Hiring contract]
Then pick one.
I want them both.
You've finally grown up.
Marriage and love are two different things.
It's not actually a bad thing to learn.
At least I'll still end up with something.
Don't forget.
You must learn to let go when it comes to both business and relationships.
It's the only way to get ahead.
- So when can I start working? - Anytime.
You can even take a holiday before you start.
There's nothing urgent that needs your help right now anyway.
Then let's start with dumping some burdens.
Let's stop bidding for the hospital project.
We can't afford any more deals that will create a loss.
Also, the overseas mining project isn't our expertise either.
I'm still going to sell it even though we might take a loss.
But think about it...
If we keep investing in them then there's still a possibility of a comeback.
But if we sell them, then it'll be very hard for us to start again.
You're an expert in trading
while I'm an expert at having fun.
Since you chose Zhou Nan
I've learned quite a lot from him.
Red wines are very popular in China now.
Swiss red wines that are less than 10 euros
are selling for more than 200 yuan.
So I'm planning to sell our mining business
and buy some small wineries in Switzerland.
Okay, we'll go with your plan.
His hand is shaking.
- What's going on? - Don't panic, let's wait and see.
Dr. Zhao, Miss Wen wants to see you.
Director.
How many similar operations have you performed?
I didn't really keep count.
Can I have a try?
I've been specializing
in performing thousands of similar operations
on live animals in the laboratory.
Are you sure you can do this?
[Imaging Features]
Dr. Zhao.
So far, you haven't made much constructive progress.
So we've asked a few experts to give this project a new assessment.
It's not easy to explain such a professional experiment in simple terms.
As business people, all we want is to make a profit.
So for us, the best thing is something that catches people's eyes.
In other words, we only need one sentence to convince people that this is the best.
I can't come up with a commercial gimmick to promote my experiment.
You don't have to.
I have no doubts about your achievements.
It's just that...
I happened to date a doctor before
so I've read some information that's related to this topic.
Failure is actually not a bad thing.
Even though we broke up, I gained some medical knowledge.
You might lose our investment
but at least you've learned some marketing skills.
What's the matter with him?
I'm not sure either.
He probably lost his confidence since he hasn't done an operation for a while.
His hand began to shake as soon as he picked up the scalpel.
What a shame.
- That was a close call. - Thank goodness the operation went well.
What did he write?
He said I am more than qualified to perform this kind of operation.
That's great.
It's been decided.
We'll be terminating our investment unless there is more obvious progress.
You can invest in my project.
No, thanks.
We were too busy with expanding our business
and got into too many unfamiliar fields.
That's why we're having problems now.
I won't take another risk.
Our hospital performs more than 300 brain surgeries each year.
Can you imagine the size of our national market?
I'm not going to take another risk.
If we have to import all our equipment from overseas
then the costs will double.
Not many people can afford such an operation.
Jia Ming, don't be so stubborn.
I know you only became a doctor because of a girl.
Just get over it. Why can't you just let go of the past?
I hope you're not terminating your investment because you're married now.
What makes you think that?
Your dad invested because of me.
Now that you're married, there's no point in investing in it anymore.
Jia Ming.
When I sacrificed for you before, you did everything to get rid of me.
Now that I have my own business
why are you trying to cling to me?
Since when did you become so independent?
I wonder who changed you. Was it Zhou Nan?
He's not that influential on you.
It wasn't Cheng Jia Yang, was it?
Did you really think he'd wait for you?
There's a line for everything.
You might think you're first in line
but there'll always be someone in front of you.
Keep this in mind and live by it.
I didn't change for anybody.
I just suddenly realized that I should start doing something for myself.
Did you get fooled, too?
Do you know the name of the girl that I liked before?
No, but I'm not interested either.
Her name's Qiao Fei.
Does it sound familiar to you?
She's now Cheng Jia Yang's girlfriend.
- Why didn't you go inside? - I was waiting for you.
Here I am, let's go.
Let me remind you.
Don't mention Qiao Fei to your dad or try to bring her home.
Don't cause trouble for yourself.
Are you worried about Qiao Fei?
Don't worry, I've got it all worked out.
Let's go inside.
I've already heard about your operation.
- Well done. - Thank you.
Keep it up.
- Make me proud. - I will.
The sun must have risen in the West today.
Not only did you not end up arguing after three sentences
but you actually had a pleasant conversation.
I'm not going to be the troublemaker today.
Jia Ming, what are you talking about?
When are you going to move back in with us?
What happened to your hand?
- I've got an announcement-- - Wait.
You'll need this.
I'll get you some water.
Dad, Mom.
I have a girlfriend.
You do?
That's great. What does she do?
- She's a French interpreter. - A French interpreter?
Her name's Qiao Fei.
Qiao Fei?
So it's Qiao Fei.
There's something wrong with this girl's personality.
I strongly object to it.
- What's wrong with her personality? - Take it easy...
So...
Why are you objecting to it?
- Perhaps she's a very nice girl. - Nice?
She used to be Jia Ming's girlfriend.
Now she's Jia Yang's girlfriend.
Do you understand now?
In that case, perhaps we should think about this.
A girl's morals are very important.
Dad, Mom, listen to me.
First of all, when Qiao Fei and I got together
I didn't know that she was Jia Ming's ex-girlfriend.
Second, their relationship was a long time ago.
It's already been eight years since they broke up.
So I don't think it's a problem at all.
I think as long as the three of you can sort it out yourselves
then it shouldn't be a problem.
I have no opinions.
I'm not that old-fashioned.
That's not the issue.
This girl's obviously using my sons.
Jia Ming even gave up his specialty because of her.
He insisted on changing his specialty.
But now she's after Jia Yang.
Why? Because she wants to get into the Institute.
It's just your fame and power that she's after.
So, where did you meet this girl?
At the Institute, she's Jia Yang's intern.
She just became a full-time employee.
- That's right. - What a joke.
How could you get involved with your own intern?
What's wrong with dating my own intern?
That fact that I'm Cheng Si Yuan's son
means I can't make any mistakes at work.
Are you saying that since I'm Cheng Si Yuan's son
I must ask my girlfriends if they like me because of my dad?
Fine, don't ask.
You... you can learn from him.
You can disown me.
Calm down, just take it easy. Let's talk about this.
Once you get impatient, he gets mad.
He won't listen to what you say.
Jia Yang.
I'm not stopping you from dating.
I'm very glad that you're in love.
But you must not date an intern.
You still have a lot of opportunities to advance your career.
You're still very young.
What if people say you're using your position
to chase after girls?
Also, since you work together there's a conflict of interest.
Even though you can guarantee that you won't be biased toward her
what will other people think?
Dad.
I'll be very careful with that.
But I can't just give up on the girl that I love
because of my job, right?
Have you thought about it from her perspective?
As soon as she enters the Institute
she's referred to as Cheng Jia Yang's girlfriend.
Even if she has any great achievements
people will think they are because of you.
It's not that big a deal.
I've been living in your shadow all this time.
That's different, I'm your father.
You were born to live in my shadow.
So don't complain about it.
As for her...
What if you break up?
Would you still work together?
How are you supposed to work together?
Either you can resign
or she can find another job.
You can't have the best of both worlds.
- I won't give up. - You must give up.
- Work must come first. - That's your decision, not mine.
Why do we all have to listen to you?
Because of you, Mom resigned and Jia Ming changed his career preference.
That's why I've been trying to stay clear of you all my life.
You're the sun so we all have to revolve around you.
Is that why you can shine brightly while we all hide in the darkness?
So I'm not the only one with the same thought.
I just happened to be the first one who spoke out about it.
Fine.
You want freedom of speech?
Okay.
If you don't do as I say
- then get out. - Hey, why are you so mad?
Let's try to talk it out.
Jia Yang, it's your fault for having such a bad attitude.
You should apologize.
Apologize to your dad.
- Jia Yang. - Just let him go.
I'm a little different from him.
- I'll be back next week. - Off you go.
Listen.
From now on
just let him be.
But he's our son.
Don't be so mad.
Think about how we can make him come back.
