Episode 35
Sister, you agreed to allow Instructor to pursue you once again?
Then will Instructor prepare some kind of affectionate action,
something like warmly dropping you off and picking you up or reserving the entire bus?
Weird. Why isn't Instructor here?
Or... is Instructor thinking of giving me a surprise?
Miss, are you getting on?
Oh, yes... I'm sorry.
[Department of Leisure Entertainment]
Morning.
Good morning, Instructor.
Did Instructor buy this breakfast for me?
Good morning, Yi An.
Morning.
Hurry and eat your breakfast. Or else, if it gets cold, it won't taste good anymore.
You bought this?
Yeah. Is there something wrong?
Nothing. Thank you.
You're welcome.
What's up? Why did you call me here?
Just... I have a question... I want to ask what you think.
What question?
In short, I agreed to accept Instructor's pursuit.
No wonder you guys seemed strange yesterday!
That's great! What question do you want to ask me?
There's one thing I can't figure out.
What?
Just... after he said he was going to pursue me, he hasn't done anything.
So, I think it's really weird.
I can't figure out what happened.
He hasn't done anything?
Not even asking to eat lunch together?
Nope.
How could this be?
Zhen Hao seems like the kind of guy who is very proactive.
Or is it because he scared you last time because he was pursuing you too diligently,
so now he's afraid to take too much of an initiative,
and is using a "no method is the method" strategy.
Is that what it is?
I'm not sure either, but I think it's a possibility.
It's Instructor!
[Are you free tonight? Can we eat together?]
See? He's making a move now.
I told you Zhen Hao is a proactive person!
Okay, okay. So, no problems anymore, right?
Take your time responding to your text. I'll head back to my office to work.
So sweet, the two of you.
Hey, Yao You Zhen.
Mr. CEO.
Since I happened to see you, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
The "product" that you wanted, I've prepared for you.
"Product?" What product?
What "what product?"
Didn't you ask me to introduce someone to be your boyfriend?
O-Oh you're talking about that?
If not, what else would I be talking about?
Let me tell you, I already arranged it for you today. We'll all eat together tonight.
You've arranged for it this quickly?
Of course. You have to strike while the iron is hot.
But I don't think it was necessary to get it done that fast. We can just arrange a time later on.
What "arrange later on?"
Let me tell you. This person is a friend I made while I was in America.
He's handsome, competent, and financially capable.
His age... is also about the same as yours.
He is a rare commodity in the market; an exemplary bachelor.
If you are not more proactive about it, be careful of regretting it when you miss this chance.
How about it? Or are not free tonight?
I'm free. I was just thinking that making an appointment so last-minute,
I won't be able to prepare for it beforehand, so I feel apologetic.
Why are you apologetic? It's only having dinner and meeting each other, very relaxing.
Okay. Then we'll do that then.
Okay, then it's set.
If I get to know another man, then it should be able to turn my focus away from Yang Zhen Kai.
♬ How come it doesn't hurt when my heart breaks? ♬
♬ How come I'm not happy when I smile? ♬
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
Hello? Instructor. You are still at the training center?
There's no need, you don't need to come pick me up.
I can go by myself later.
Then give me the address.
Wait.
Okay.
Yeah, okay.
Alright, I got it.
See you later, then.
Okay. Bye.
Yi An, how's everything coming along?
Pretty good.
I am currently studying comparison charts of the treatment costs at various medical beauty clinics.
I'm almost done. I can show you later.
You've been working hard.
Oh, right. Do you want to get dinner together after work?
I'm sorry. I've already arranged to meet with Instructor.
That's okay... I have something to do later anyway. Next time, then.
Let's arrange again some other time.
Instructor.
Why haven't you gone in? Instead, you're just standing here.
I was thinking I could wait for you, and we could go in together.
You even went home to chance your clothes?
I didn't change... Will it seem like I have no regard for this dinner?
Don't overthink it. I changed clothes... because... because...
I was just curious so I randomly asked. Don't be so nervous.
[Shintori]
This place seems pretty nice.
The food here is really good, too. We three brothers always come here to eat.
This... is also one of my favorite restaurants.
So I wanted to bring you here to show you.
Then, in a moment, I will attentively sample the food.
Thank you,
Hey!
Egg Tofu in Amber Jelly?
I've always wanted to try this, but never got the chance!
I didn't expect them to have it here!
Then let's order it. Two orders.
Instructor, you're ordering the same thing as me?
Do you also like this dish?
It's my first time ordering it.
But since you like it, I want to try it as well.
Continue ordering.
Hello, sir. Mind if I ask, are you looking for a friend or eating here?
The tables are all reserved the moment.
- Looking for friends. - Okay.
Wow, what a coincidence! You guys are here, too?
Huh?
You're here for dinner, too?
That's right. I was discussing with a friend just now, and he recommended me this restaurant.
But I didn't think that there would be no seat if I didn't reserve.
If you don't mind, let's eat together.
Alright.
What did you order just now? Is there anything I must try here?
This is Instructor's favorite restaurant, it will be more accurate if you ask Instructor.
Zhen Hao, give me some recommendations.
Okay.
I think their dish called "Fireworks" is pretty good.
- Okay. - You can try it.
- Fireworks? - This "Fireworks" dish looks pretty good.
- I feel like it's going to be tasty. - That's right.
What should I eat for dessert?
Hey, I think their desserts are...
Let me introduce you guys.
This our company's ever-capable secretary.
A modern woman, Miss Yao You Zhen.
This... is my good friend; an excellent, good-looking guy, Mr. Daniel.
Hello, Mr. Daniel.
No need to be so polite, just call me Daniel.
Then you can just call me You Zhen.
Wow, Daniel. Our Secretary Yao doesn't let just anyone call her You Zhen.
Unless... it's someone she has a good impression of.
This is my honor,
You Zhen... I have a good impression of her as well.
I hope there is an opportunity to get to know her more.
Ah, actually, you don't need to wait for an opportunity.
I can let you guys get to know each other right now.
Our Secretary Yao, she is intelligent, independent, resolute, logical,
and she can read people's expressions.
She is a woman who can fight with you side-by-side,
but also stay behind you as your strongest backup force.
But don't think that she is a tough woman because of this,
our Yao You Zhen... also has a gentle side.
For example, she really likes to help others,
and can also put herself in other people's shoes to sympathize and experience others' moods.
At that time, she will genuinely give warmth and assistance.
Strictly speaking, she can be considered not only as a buddy to talk to,
but also as a girlfriend to court, a very special woman.
What do you think? Isn't she perfect?
Looks like You Zhen is a friend who is very worth knowing.
Mr. CEO, you have completed your task, so you can leave now. Right?
Let Daniel and I talk properly.
Yao You Zhen, what are you doing? Are you kicking me out?
I am your matchmaker. Who kicks out their matchmaker?
If the matchmaker stays for too long, they will also become a third wheel.
B-But... my butt is not even warm from sitting yet.
And look, I didn't even take a sip of tea.
Then just leave after finishing that cup of tea.
I... Yao...!
Zhen Kai!
Hey, Katy! Long time no see!
Long time no see! I've missed you so much!
- Come, sit. - Okay.
This kid, she wanted to meet you so badly that she immediately said she was coming along to. I couldn't get rid of her at all.
That's fine, I haven't seen Katy for a long time anyway.
That's right. Hey, this must be your secretary, Yao You Zhen. Right?
That's right. Yao You Zhen, this is Daniel's little sister, Katy.
- Hello! - Hello.
Secretary Yao looks so young and pretty in person.
Looks nothing like a 30-year-old mature woman.
Thank you for your compliment.
I have so many things to tell you!
Oh, okay, then let's...
Wait a minute. Let's find another place to talk.
- Let's not ruin it for other people by staying here and being a third wheel. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Wait!
I want to say... since we are all here,
let's just sit together and chat; it is more lively that way.
Then let's just talk here.
Hey, let me show you pictures from our biking trip in Canada last month.
It was so beautiful there.
It is such a pity that you couldn't go.
Oh, you know that I came back just recently.
It is more important to speed up my career first.
Okay, then you can just join us next time—
Katy is like this, always sticking to Zhen Kai.
- That's not a problem. - Wow, this river water looks so clear.
- That's right. - Wait-wait-wait.
Who is this fatty that doesn't have any clothes on?
You can't tell who this is?
I can't tell.
- It can't be your brother, right? - It is!
Look at his butt.
Daniel, you haven' t been working out lately, have you?
- How good do you think your body is? - Not bad.
Let me see if your pectoral muscles are still there.
Look at your face!
Sorry, I'm going to the restroom.
Sorry, her hobby is scaring people.
- Oh. - That's fine.
- Let's continue looking at the photos. - Okay, look!
Yao You Zhen, how old are you; still getting jealous of others?
You like Yang Zhen Kai that much? You're a dumb pig, aren't you?
You better calm down. Calm down.
Yao You Zhen, you cannot lose control. You cannot lose control!
Deep breath... Deep breath.
You can do it. You can do it.
Yi An? Why are you here?
So... you really like Yang Zhen Kai?
You heard everything?
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
So... what exactly is the situation right now?
Did I miss something?
Or... am I reacting too slowly and not keeping up with the progression?
You've... really fallen for Yang Zhen Kai?
I indeed like him a little.
But... I will stop it here and now; won't continue any longer
and chop away these feelings.
Is it because... you still don't believe in love?
Not believing in love and not depending on a man are my principles,
this will not change.
Also, Yang Zhen Kai is younger than me
and is my higher-up. Letting myself sink into this would be the wrong decision.
So... I need to stop it here and now.
But you have just confirmed your own feelings,
do you... really have to chop it off so fast?
Are you sure you aren't going to give yourself one more opportunity?
Feelings need to be taken care of early
so that you won't get hurt even more.
Actually, I rejoice in the fact that
I found out I liked Yang Zhen Kai so fast.
Okay, Yi An. Just focus on developing your relationship with Zhen Hao.
Don't worry about me.
Hey, but you must promise me one thing.
You can't tell anyone else about this.
Especially your dad, my auntie, and Wu Yi Xin, that big-mouth.
If they take turns coming to express their concern for me, I'm going to go crazy.
This I know, I won't tell them.
That's good then.
Okay, then go back and rest. You still have work tomorrow.
You really... aren't going to give yourself one more chance and try?
Wu Yi An, I know my own feelings.
You really don't have to worry about me.
Then I'll be going.
Baby, did you hear everything?
I will organize my feelings
and contain them completely.
Not even a little is allowed to escape.
Collaborating with a magazine...
Facebook fan page...
What other ways are there to increase sales?
Printing flyers is good.
Make a flyer... and hand them out.
Increase the amount of customers. If there are people, then there will be money.
Doing this should be able to increase sales.
That's right. That's what I'll do.
How should I make my flyers?
What is the main point on it...?
First, write a...
I should first draw an outline of the restaurant.
And then...
Place a cute photo.
Drink a cup of coffee.
Piece together a "Happy Time" that belongs to you (masculine) and you (feminine).
You... Sister what are you doing? Why are you like a ghost behind me?
You scared me to death. What? What?
You're the one who's too focused, okay? You didn't even hear me come in.
What are you writing this for?
Because Uncle Yang and I have an agreement.
- Uncle Yang? - Yeah. - What agreement?
I agreed to achieve one month's worth of sales within half a month.
Why does he want you to do that?
Because... he wants me to prove my feelings for Big Brother Yang.
But... isn't this too difficult?
For a person like me who doesn't understand management
or marketing, this is indeed pretty difficult.
But this is an opportunity that was not easy to come by.
So I will definitely succeed, I will not give up.
Then, what do you plan to do?
Hand out flyers. What you just saw is the content of the flyer.
Does your Big Brother Yang know about this?
He doesn't know.
So do you plan to keep it from him
and use your own ability to complete this task?
That's right. I need to complete it by myself
in order to let Big Brother Yang know that I am a type of assistance to him.
Is doing it like this good?
Big Brother Yang already talked to Uncle Yang for me before,
but Uncle Yang still has doubts.
So he gave me this assignment.
To prove my sincerity and ability.
So I need to complete this task myself, this is my homework.
It is okay to not tell Big Brother Yang,
But if you have any needs, I can help you anytime.
Sister, I already said that this is a task that I have to complete on my own.
If you help me,
I cannot prove my sincerity and earnestness to Uncle Yang.
I know, you really want to gain points from Uncle Yang,
Want him to be sure of you, to like you.
But you need to remember, if you have any needs at any time,
I will definitely be by your side.
Sister, as long as you and Big Brother Yang are beside me,
let me borrow you for a hug when you're free.
Then I can charge my battery.
You...
Also, look, besides flyers,
I can also collaborate with magazines,
like culinary magazines and food magazines,
and I can also set up a Facebook fan page
so that I can manage it
and then share it with others...
[Hungry Happy Sleepy]
Wait a second!
- Morning. - Morning.
Why are you in a daze? You are not going up?
I suddenly remembered that I didn't buy breakfast yet. I'm going to buy breakfast now.
Buy... breakfast?
That's right. Mr. CEO, go up first.
Okay.
- Hey. - Mr. CEO, you need to go out?
That's right, but... I'm not in a rush.
Just happened to run into you, I have an important question to ask you.
What is it?
- You bought breakfast already, right? - Yeah. - Let's go up.
Go in, go in.
Be careful.
I didn't have a chance to ask you yesterday.
After getting to know Daniel, what do you think?
How was it?
Daniel is not a bad person,
and is humorous when talking,
but I'm not really interested in him.
What? Hey, an excellent genius like him, and you still aren't interested?
Aren't you being a little too picky?
I just don't feel that way about him.
Relationships cannot be forced.
Okay. Looks like I need to find a new product for you.
Mr. CEO, so you came back upstairs with me because of this?
That's right. If I am your matchmaker; of course, I need to prove my competency.
The follow-up procedures, care, and the satisfactory rating of you, my customer.
Of course, I have to investigate it.
What's the matter? Is there a problem?
No.
Mr. CEO, I'm going back to the office now. Go take care of your matters now.
Hello?
Yes, I'm He Yan Zhi.
Police station?
Okay, I understand. I'll go to make the statements. Thank you.
The police called?
Could it be that the car driver from last time is really going to sue you?
Yes, the police wants me to make a statement.
Then, what will you do?
That's okay. If he wants to sue, I'll let him sue.
I'm not afraid. I believe that truth and justice are on my side.
Don't worry.
How can I not worry?
If he really sues you, you might have to go to court.
That will definitely have an effect on your development in the future.
Or do you want to consider settling with him?
Yi An, do you not understand me?
If it's right, no matter if it's going to court
or if it'll affect my future,
I won't bow down to those people who use force to bully others.
Besides, I definitely won't let him bully me, so there's no need to worry. Really.
Why are you smiling?
I should be comforting you, but why did it turn into you comforting me?
It seems like it.
Drink some coffee.
Grandma, why are you here?
The Gangnam Uncle brought me here on his horse~ (t/n: She's referring to PSY's "Gangnam Style")
Sit, Grandma. Sit. Secretary Yao!
Please brew a cup of tea and bring it in.
- Grandma. - Yes?
Look at you. You're smiling brighter than an 18-year-old girl.
You probably didn't just come looking for me to chat.
What's the motive? Talk.
You little rascal. You're so sweet with your words and quick-witted.
There would be no justice if you didn't have a girlfriend!
I asked a few friends from my Grandmother's Association and they helped find me a number of girls.
Take a look. See if any of them catch your fancy.
Grandma, why is it blind dating again?
What's bad about it? The qualifications of these girls are really pretty good.
You-- Look at this.
Grandma has handpicked through all of these.
Here, here, look.
Grandma, but I'm really not interested in blind dates right now.
Also, I don't want to date in the next few years.
What? Hey, You Zhen.
Don't leave. Come.
Hurry. Sit.
They say that one should have a family and a career. So isn't it true?
To have a family, you have to have a girlfriend, a partner, right?
You help me persuade him not to be so persistent. Go.
But Grandma, I'm sorry, but I think this is the CEO's private matter.
It will be better to let him decide.
Why can't you just look
at these girls' information to give me face?
Grandma will be sad.
Grandma.
I know.
You all think Grandma's annoying.
I keep rushing you guys to find girlfriends and get married,
but Grandma is really worried about you three.
Grandma, I understand.
Your big brother, although he's made progress with Yi Xin
and I can be rest assured now, but what about Hao Hao?
He just had this little bit of progress,
and was rejected just like that. If I were to
ask him to go on a blind date, then wouldn't that be rubbing salt on his wounds?
Grandma, you haven't been updated about this part?
That's right. Yi An has already agreed to give Second Brother a chance to pursue her.
What?
What did you just say? Update? Update? Is that true?!
Of course, it's true. But you know Second Brother's personality
is so reserved, and inflexible;
plus, Yi An is someone who's slow on the uptake.
If someone doesn't help him out,
I don't know what year or month we'll have to wait until before we get results.
So!
Don't you think someone should push them a little?
That's right! You're right!
I have to go and, like this, push them a bit.
I'm leaving now.
I'm going to push them right away!
Grandma, I'll walk you out.
You'd better take a good look at this, got it?
I'm going to go find them for a meal. Help me persuade him, persuade him!
Take care.
Mr. CEO, didn't you tell me that everyone needs a companion?
You said that's the kind of life you yearn for.
I did say that before.
Then, why did you reject the blind dates that Grandma arranged for you?
Getting married and having children is a part of my life goals.
But that's not my goal right now.
Not your goal right now?
There's only one thing that's important right now.
It's doing my best in my career.
That's because... you want to fulfill the Chairman and Madame's expectations?
Yeah. Especially my mom's. Haven't I told you this before?
You only told me that the Madame's hopes for you are really high, and that her demands are also very high.
That's because she wants you to be a competent successor.
So that's why I don't want to, and cannot let her down.
But even if it's like that, can't the Madame's hopes and your life plan
be carried out simultaneously?
This doesn't really conflict with getting married and having children.
But it's not about them conflicting.
I just think there's nothing more important than fulfilling my mom's hopes for me.
Even if it's my life plan, it's still the same.
Anyways, I don't want to get distracted. So I don't want to get into any relationships in the next few years.
I just want to focus on my career with all my heart.
So, it's like that.
Mr. CEO, then, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to work.
Okay.
It looks like I have to hurry up and pull myself out.
I can't keep letting myself fall in deeper. That's the correct choice.
♬ Yeah, is it possible for us to meet again? ♬
♬ Have you already found someone else to protect you? ♬
Hao Hao! Hao Hao! Hao Hao!
Grandma, why are you here?
Boss Dom raced me here in his car. (t/n: She's referring to Dominic "Dom" Toretto from The Fast and the Furious)
Quickly sit! Sit!
I brought some snacks.
This-- This just too great! Too great!
My wishes have come true. True lovers will be together in the end!
Grandma, we aren't in the type of relationship you think we are in.
Right, Grandma. Instructor and I aren't officially dating yet.
That's okay. You'll be together sooner or later. Right?
But, Yi An, you left the training center a long time ago.
Why do you still call him Instructor?
You should change it and call him Hao Hao like I do.
Hao Hao?
Yes. Hao Hao.
- I-- - Grandma.
Whatever she calls me is fine.
Why-- Why would there be no problem? It does matter. You child!
I'm sorry, Grandma. Because I've called him Instructor for so long that I'm used to it now,
so I never thought about changing what I call him.
Used to it? Of course. Then from now on, just get used to calling him
Hao Hao. Once you've called him that long enough, then you'll get used to calling him Hao Hao.
Hao Hao.
I...
Just call me Zhen Hao.
- Yes, Instructor. - What?
Huh? Oh.
Yes, Zhen Hao.
Okay, you two.
Stop sitting there in a daze, looking at each other like that.
I'm looking at you. You're looking at me.
Have some snacks.
Look at me and my forgetfulness. I'm so silly.
I brought snacks, but I forgot to buy coffee. I'll go brew some coffee for you.
Grandma, I'll brew it.
Okay, then please hurry.
Hey, you silly boy.
You-- Have you arranged a date with her for tonight yet?
Not yet.
I knew it! You're moving so slowly, you really make people worry. You.
Grandma, I think it's nice how it is now.
I don't want Yi An to feel too pressured.
I... I'm not saying you should give her stress.
What I mean is, you have to take some sort of action, right? Take some action.
Like this. Drying your net for two days when you're only going to fish for three. When are you ever going to get results?
Grandma, I understand. I will arrange a date.
Okay. You can't just say, "I will."
I know you. You can't just say it. You have to take action. Once she comes back
you have to tell her, "I want to have a date with your tonight.
Do you have time?" Got it? You have to arrange a date with her. Don't forget.
Grandma, have some coffee.
Okay, good. Good.
Be careful.
Yi An, do you have anything going on tonight?
No.
Then...
Let's go ice skating, okay?
Grandma.
Ice... What ice skating?!
Don't other people go to enjoy the night view, holding hands?
You child, you, really...
Ice skating is not bad.
It's just that... I don't know how to ice skate.
That's okay. Hao Hao knows how. He can teach you.
That's right.
Don't worry, I'll teach you.
Oh...
Okay.
Okay, good. Have a snack.
Go ice skating. Both of you, go skating.
Secretary Yao, please come in for a moment.
Okay.
Come in.
Mr. CEO, is something the matter?
There's not much, but it's almost time to get off work and I'm almost pretty much done with my work, too.
Do you want to practice skateboarding?
Last night, I thought of some simpler tricks to teach you.
I have other things to do today after work. I don't think I can make it.
You have other things to do? Then... how about tomorrow after work?
I have things going on after work tomorrow, too.
More things going on?
Then... How about after work Friday? Or we can meet Saturday or Sunday. That's fine, too.
Mr. CEO, actually, I don't want to learn how to skateboard anymore.
Why? Didn't you already buy the skateboard?
Besides, last time we had class, you did pretty well.
Why do you suddenly want to quit?
I just think skateboarding is very difficult, so I don't want to learn it anymore.
What?
Yao You Zhen, aren't you giving up a little too quickly?
But that's not your style.
You clearly aren't the type of person to give up halfway.
I just think that, since I've determined that some things shouldn't be continued,
then I should stop them immediately.
What?
Mr. CEO, I still have unfinished work. If there's nothing else, I'll leave now.
What... Determined...?
That's weird. Yao You Zhen is being weird.
Yan Zhi.
I heard Yi An say that the car owner from the hit-and-run wants to sue you.
Yes. What's the matter?
I hope you can let me handle this matter.
What you mean is, you want to use money to settle for me privately?
- If money can be used to solve— - Money cannot solve everything.
Everything that I, He Yan Zhi, does are things that I believe are important and worth it.
I'm not afraid to pay the price, and I won't run away either.
So please don't use rich-people methods to help me solve this problem. Thank you.
Do you think Yao You Zhen has been acting a bit strange recently?
A reason that can cause you girls' moods to become different...
- You Zhen has requested a day off. - A day off?
It seems like she's lost too much blood.
Lost too much blood? Yao You Zhen?
