Far Away Love Episode 18
What do you want?
I want you to make a clear distinction between yourself and Meng Chu Xia.
And after a while, when the media's attention has cooled off,
I'll publicly announce your break-up.
Do you think that's possible?
I'm doing it for your own good.
Do you think you'll be happy, married to a woman like her?
Whether I'll be happy or not, it's still my decision to make.
Your decision?
Is your decision to use your life
and the future of the Shen Group!
I have experience, I don't want to see you taking the wrong path.
If I hand my life to you to control again,
that would be my biggest mistake and sadness.
If you insist on staying with Meng Chu Xia,
the Board of Directors will reject all your proposals.
Your plans to produce coffee will be halted right away
and I can't guarantee how much longer
you can stay on as CEO.
Shen An, all these years
you have put your whole life into work.
Are you really going to throw away everything you've worked for just because of a woman?
Do whatever you want, like you've always done.
You think I am not serious?
You weren't transferred to work in the US last time
because I didn't want to make you look bad in front of the shareholders.
If we really go against each other,
do you think the shareholders will be on your side?
I'm sure you've already seen the reports concerning my wedding.
Apart from the bride Meng Chu Xia, did you pay attention to anything else?
More than half of the major shareholders attended my wedding.
Also, let me share this little secret with you;
a good portion of them got to know about it in advance.
Was there a single person who leaked the news to you in private?
So Chairwoman, I'm not going to stop you from doing anything you want.
But what consequences will really occur
I can't guarantee them either.
Please think carefully about that.

So Senior Teddy uses alcohol to drink your problems away too?
When your secretary first told me, I still didn't believe it.
Give me a gin and tonic, thank you.
I wonder who first discovered that one can use alcohol to ease sorrow.
It's actually pretty useless.
The only way to ease sorrow is the passing of time.
You came here just to comfort me?
I don't have the ability to offer comfort, but I'm pretty good at chewing people out.
I deserve to be chastised, I didn't want to give Chu Xia any pressure,
didn't want her to reluctantly agree, didn't want her to be forced.
Even when I was conflicted, I couldn't even resolve it, and just kept missing those chances with her.
Actually, strictly speaking, this isn't your fault.
Thank you.
If it wasn't because of Shen An,
I think that Chu Xia would have been moved by you after a while.
No, it's not simply a possibility.
You are such a great guy. Any girl would have been moved by you.
But there's no 'what-if' in life.
Senior Teddy, I've already said that I don't know how to offer comfort,
nor do I know how to give advice, but I would like to tell you this much,
just let go of the past.
A man should accept defeat gracefully.
Look,
though we never anticipated this result
I know that it's your choice whether to choose to avoid
or to distance yourself, you're free to decide.
But we've all been friends with each other for so long
and if our friendship has to end because of this,
I know Chu Xia will feel very sad.
I know it may seem unfair and unreasonable of me to say these things to you now,
but I am first and foremost Chu Xia's best friend.
Tai Di, I really hope that we can all stay friends as before.
Chu Xia's able to find a great husband like Shen An,
and a great friend like you.
Fortune really favors fools.
She also needs a senior like you, to be considered as really fortunate.
Do you have a lot of homework today?
Yes.
When will you be done?
It'll be a while.
I know you are not ready to forgive me yet.
Such a big thing happened,
I also just recovered from my shock.
It's understandable if you can't accept it. You also know now
that Uncle Shen and I are just married in name only.
Of course, the reason why your mom chose to act in concert with him,
I haven't told you that yet.
Your Uncle Shen can find Professor Ye.
This way, the success of Yao Yao's operation can increase a little.
Then won't it be harder for you to look for a boyfriend in the future?
You'll be taking your high school entrance exam soon.
Yao Yao also hasn't recovered yet. In the short term, I don't plan to look for a boyfriend.
For you to live well...
and for Yao Yao's operation to be successful as soon as possible,
those are the only goals in my life right now.
Don't think too much. Don't write till very late. Go to sleep early.
I also need to sleep early. I still have a job interview tomorrow.
I'm going now.
How about staying at home for a couple more days?
Lie low till the fuss dies down.
This child...
You've watched too many television shows. Even asking me to lie low...
I've said before
that we will continue to live as we should.
Everything is the same as before. Don't overthink.
Hello. May I ask if you're hiring now?
Yes.
I'm here to have an interview.
Wait for a while. I'll just look for our manager.
Manager?
Is there a need to look for the manager?
You... you came here to our company, what can we do for you?
I'm here to have an interview.
You're so good at making jokes, Mrs. Shen.
- Hurry and go get some tea. - No...
Mrs. Shen, aren't you scolding us by saying that? You're not here to inspect our company, right?
I really wasn't.
- Come, Mrs. Shen. Come here and have a seat.- No, I wasn't...
How could I ever hire you?! You stole my man, my Prince Shen!
You... know Shen An?
I would have known him if it wasn't for you!
I... It's my fault.
Fei Fei, do you know that when I went out today,
all the people on the street kept staring at me.
That's normal.
While waiting for the bus, there were people talking about me. The companies where I had job interviews, all of them didn't want to hire me.
That's very normal.
Weren't you also frequently rejected in your past job interviews?
This time, it's different.
Before, they disliked that I can't do overtime and that the salary I wanted was too high.
But right now, they don't even give me a chance to talk.
Isn't that very normal?
You are now the Young Madam of Shen Group Corporation.
If they hire you, will they let you work or worship you?
Letting you work is such a grievance to you.
But if they won't let you work, why will they bother hiring you?
Why is this happening?
- Regretting it already?- Yes.
Getting the title of Young Madam, but not enjoying the perks of it.
That's why I said you're at a disadvantage. You need to talk to Shen An about this, he needs to take responsibility for it.
No no no. Now, the moment I hear the word Shen, my head will hurt.
Don't bring it up to me.
Fei Fei, what's wrong? You look so spiritless.
I haven't eaten in 2 days.
Why aren't you eating?
To lose weight. Daniel said,
I would look better if my waist was smaller.
Is your waist important or is your life more important?
A life without a waist, is it still worth anything?
I can't argue with you.
- What are you looking at?- Clothes.
Clothes?
This piece is 15,000 Yuan?
You aren't buying it are you?
Are you crazy?
The clothes I bought the last time at the shopping mall were too cheap.
Not high-class enough.
Daniel said that only by wearing a first class brand, can I look more elegant.
Fei Fei.
Shouldn't the other half of the apple that you looked so hard for fit you perfectly?
You're forcing yourself to be like this now... how is that perfect?
I also thought like that before.
But after meeting Daniel, I realized that the lifestyle I led was of such low quality,
so mediocre.
Then I thought,
maybe my other half of the apple wasn't something that I could reap without sowing first.
But instead, it's continuously perfecting myself,
to become exactly compatible with it.
When you say it like that, it's not wrong either.
But right now... you're too unhealthy, and putting yourself through too much torture.
You have to sacrifice to be high-end.
Fei Fei!
Hurry! Hurry! Get that thing out of the way.
You've starved yourself for 2 days already, so eat something easy to digest. I especially made you some dough drop soup.
No! No! No! Heat quality, starch content, and calories...
Most importantly, it's that cheap name, "Dough Drop Soup".
Hurry and get it away from me.
Fei Fei, just eat one bite.
Treat it as you're evaluating my cooking skills.
That's right. Just take a tiny mouthful of it, then ruthlessly look down on him!
Yes.
I hate you guys!

Do you want to scare me to death?
Do you have to be so excited when you see your own husband?
Shen An, let me tell you.
Our marriage relationship is only limited to the duration of that 2-hour wedding ceremony.
It's already over. Also,
how did you know it was me?
I just have to type your name in Weibo's search engine and I can know your itinerary for the whole day.
There are even paparazzi shots from all sorts of angles.
This thing only attracts more attention. Can't you see what the weather is like now?
Isn't this all because of you?!
Oh yes, how's that matter with Professor Ye?
I'm in the process of getting in touch.
Have you or have you not found Professor Ye?
Before, you weren't able to find him, despite looking so hard for him, because Professor Ye went abroad to travel.
These are his travel pictures.
Then when is he coming back?
You don't need to worry about that. There won't be any delay to Yao Yao's operation.
I'll trust you for now. Remember to call me once there's news.
I'm leaving.
I came here today to discuss a matter with you.
What?
Tomorrow, move into my house with Meng Xiang.
Haven't you had enough of being crazy?
After getting married, people should live together, no?
Come here.
Come here!
President Shen, me doing this wedding act with you is already showing extreme benevolence and utmost duty.
Don't request for a foot when you've already been given an inch. I'm leaving.
Did you not bring your keys?
Who? What are you doing? What's going on?
Who are you looking for?
Hey, I'm calling the cops!
Cops won't take care of family squabbles.
You can leave after putting it down.
You, what are you doing?
Can't you see? I'm moving in.
What type of person are you?
This is my house! This is called trespassing, do you know that?
Wait, wait.
This is your home, but it's also my house.
Didn't you find it strange that the landlord was willing to rent it to you so cheap?
You bought this house?
Yes.
The price I paid, made the Mr. Zhang, that originally bought this house, smile so wide that he couldn't close his mouth anymore.
Meng Chu Xia. Talk it out slowly.
Violence cannot solve any problems.
Okay.
I will pack, and when Meng Xiang comes home, we will move out immediately.
You signed a 1-year rental contract. Wouldn't you be wasting all that breach of contract compensation money?
I'll pay you back every cent of the compensation for breach of contract.
But once I move out
I only hope that you'll totally disappear from my life. I'm not asking for too much, am I?
Chu Xia.
Come with me.
Look.
Who's that?
Reporters.
You brought reporters here too?
Meng Chu Xia, you are really slow!
These reporters were already in front of your house. They've been waiting for a long time.
Although I'm not a celebrity,
but as the president of Shen Group Corporation, I still have a certain degree of influence.
So my life has always been scrutinized by the media.
Besides, due to the high profile coverage of our wedding, you've already been bound to me.
Today, there was already a reporter who asked me about the photos of you on the street.
That's why I'm asking for us to live together.
Because if I don't do this,
the media will say that we've separated due to incompatibility.
Newly-weds living separately,
you know what kind of uproar it will cause, don't you?
And this will lead to a chain effect.
First is that Shen Corporation will be castigated by others,
then it will harm the company's financial benefits, and in the end, it will also affect the employees.
President Shen, the tone of your voice now is like you're telling me that I'm being extremely unreasonable.
Don't forget, if you hadn't created all this mess,
would those reporters be so bored as to come take pictures of me?
Chu Xia, I understand all your helplessness and anger right now.
But you were also the one who said,
as long as a person accepted you and took care of you and Meng Xiang,
then you would be willing to live with that person.
Previously, when I brought up getting married with you,
you always immediately rejected me without even thinking.
Now that things have already become like this,
please seriously think about
living with me.
Even if you just take me as a companion, or a partner.
Once, I had someone I truly loved,
who was heartlessly driven out of my life by my mother.
Through these past years, even though my career was very successful,
that feeling of helplessness in a time of not being able to control your own destiny,
kept attacking and tormenting me from time to time.
Marrying you this time,
rather than saying that it's to go against my mother,
it would be better to say that
I'm, very selfishly,
wanting to make up for my past regrets. Chu Xia, listen.
We've argued and fought.
No matter what happened in the past,
you can't deny that I've helped you.
So this time, won't you please help me?
Please consider how sincere I am.
But marriage is such a big decision.
Even if I'm to help you, I can't help you to such an extent.
Actually it doesn't have to be that long.
I'm just asking you to allow this marriage to truly have existed.
Even if it's just for a while.
But... This little while is how long?
At least... until we've totally gotten out of the the media's attention.
Until my mother has recognized that
I'm already living my own life.
Then how do we tell Meng Xiang?
Meng Xiang, basically, this is the situation.
This uncle will live with us from now on.
But don't worry, it's just as a co-renting relationship.
You guys have already decided, what else can I say?
If not for Yao Yao's operation...
But this tenant has to pay rent.
Meng Xiang, this matter... is a bit complicated.
This... Uncle Shen... is actually our landlord.
I knew it.
Last time, when you got drenched in the rain and had a fever, and he sent you back,
you were on the bed mumbling something about the house.
After a couple of days... we didn't have to move any more.
I thought it was weird at the time.
Wow, you are much smarter than your mom.
Of course. There are still smart people in this family.
So, please stop stirring up trouble in the future.
I'm going to my room.
Who's the parent among you two?
What business is it of yours?
Why are you yelling? Meng Xiang is sleeping.
Is that a heater? It's more like a hair-removing machine! It's about to scald me to death!
Wait a while and it'll be cooler.
But you have to shower fast.
Because the water will quickly become really cold before slowly warming up again.
It's best to catch the gap between when it's hottest and coldest.
Hello, James, it's me.
Buy me a new electric water heater right now.
My home is of this standard. Either stay like this or don't stay.
You actually don't have orange juice.
If I don't drink orange juice before bed I can't sleep.
Hello, James, it's me--
You won't let me buy orange juice either?
You can buy it, but go yourself. And when you do, please don't come back.
Where are you going?
I'm going to sleep, that should be acceptable, right?
Meng Xiang is about to go for his high school entrance exam, you can't sleep with him.
So that's what you want... that's fine too.
Although your bed is a little small,
but it should be no problem if we squeeze closer, right?
You brought so much luggage, did you not bring medicine for here?
You can sleep on the sofa or in the kitchen.
Your choice.
What is this?
This is a worldwide limited edition air purifying machine.
When I sleep, the air must be clean.
It's to your advantage to be able to use this with me.
What's wrong?
Our little temple really can't hold this big Buddha.
Thanks to you, the fuse blew.
I forgot. In the past, when I sent someone to protect you,
they mentioned to me that your house's connections aren't really good.
You still dare mention your sending someone to stalk me?
I won't mention it again.
Nightmare Meng, from today on, we're really going to live together.
Can't you be a bit more careful with what you're saying? Otherwise, I'm really going to go back on my word.
Understood. What I meant was,
Meng Chu Xia, like I promised Ruo Nan,
I'm willing to give you and Meng Xiang the best care.
If one day you love somebody else,
I'll withdraw without any objections,
and will be responsible for explaining the truth.
I don't need anyone's care.
I only hope that you can fulfil your promise as soon as possible,
of having Professor Ye do Yao Yao's surgery. Also,
even if we're living together,
I also hope you can stay farther away from me.
Go away.

Mrs. Shen, this way, this way, this way.
Mrs. Shen, I'm telling you,
the next time you come, you have to tell me beforehand.
Then I'll definitely welcome you personally at the entrance.
I'm telling the truth, if you're willing to hire me,
I can do anything, I can do part-time as well.
Mrs. Shen, did I do something wrong just then?
Please don't hold a grudge against a small person like me.
Just tell me straightforwardly, I'll change it next time.
Director Wang, you've misunderstood.
I mean, I've been running around for days.
Your company is really the last company that I've been able to find.
How about, just using President Shen as an excuse and give me a chance?
I-I'll thank you.
Mrs. Shen, I'll have to thank you too. Why don't you, for President Shen's sake--
you, you- I'll personally visit you another day, okay?
Then goodbye, goodbye! Have a nice day, Mrs. Shen!
Have a nice day!
You followed me?
You forgot? Friendly netizen's Weibo posts.
What are you looking at?
I'm looking at a woman who has been rejected three times in one morning.
Her character is truly unique.
Say, you're the president of a big company, and you're skipping work to come watch me make a joke of myself?
Is this meaningful?
Miss Meng Chu Xia, the one who should be angry is me, right?
What did you just tell that person?
Shen Corporation's President's wife going to work part-time for someone else?
You think I want to?
Who am I to blame for being unable to find a job?
Sure,
everyone knows you're my wife now.
No one will believe that Shen Corporation
would allow the President's wife to work for others. Today's situation
will continue to occur. There's only one solution for you.
This is the solution you spoke of?
This contract is the same as before, it promises all kinds of insurance and welfare.
There's also no difference in the wage from before you left Shen Corporation,
it'll increase or decrease according to your efforts and job performance.
At the end of the year, the company will give a collective dividend.
Look at it, if you have no comments, sign it.
You can come to work tomorrow.
- I have comments.- Rejected.
Fine. Then you sign it for me.
See if there's a use or not.
Meng Chu Xia, you have to understand the current situation.
In the past, it could be bad luck that you couldn't find a job,
but there was always hope. But now, hope has lost to reality.
Apart from Shen Corporation, there's no other company willing to hire you.
Consider carefully for you and Meng Xiang's livelihoods.
This is not charity.
The wedding that I commanded has brought a loss to you,
so now, you should get compensation.
Isn't that right?
Then... I have a request.
During work, I can't receive any special treatment due to my identity as Mrs. Shen.
I hope to get the remuneration I deserve based on my own abilities.
Is that okay?
For once, you've understood and adapted to the situation.
Your worries are unnecessary.
Not only will there not be any special treatment,
I've also given you a very challenging job.
Miss Meng, we're going to be colleagues again from now on.
Ah, right now, I should call you Mrs. Shen.
No need, no need, Mr. Zhan.
During work from now on, just call me Xiao Meng or Chu Xia.
Mr. Zhan...
This made me remember the scene when we first met.
At that time, who would have thought, that you'd marry the President?
Why is it you?
Yes... why is it me?
Right, Mr. Zhan, what's the responsibilities of the new job?
In human resources management, the Shen Group has always adopted a measure of eliminating the least productive employee.
- You know about this, don't you?- I know about it.
The human resources department carries out evaluations and puts grades or marks
on every employee's sales performance record every quarter.
If one gets the last place for 3 consecutive quarters,
he will be advised to resign.
Right.
Shen Group has always been magnanimous and has thought about the feelings of these employees.
When they are advised to resign, they will still be given 3 months worth of salary.
But even if it's like that, there will still be some situations that can happen.
Some of them may weep bitterly while others get very agitated.
That's why this task requires someone specially assigned to deal and manage it.
The job responsibility of Ms. Meng from now on is to announce to the employee the news of being advised to resign.
The HR department is right over there, let's go.
Miss. Miss.
You haven't eaten for three days, please come out and eat something.
Go away!
Shen Ge Ge,
It's okay. It's okay.
I've been waiting for so many years,
keeping guard for so many years,
what does you getting married count for?
Right? It's fine.
This is the proposal for the promotion of our new brand of coffee
in four cities, please take a look.
Help me make an appointment with Tai Di , I want to hear his opinions too.
Yes, this afternoon?
I got a phone call from Qingdao, there are some problems with the choosing of location.
But when I went to Qingdao last time...
You're asking an obvious question.
You went there last time because I didn't want you to stay here.
This time, there's really some problems.
They said something about the landlord asking for too much money.
CEO, your requirements are too strict,
only limiting it to those few areas near to the sea.
It's hard to blame them for finding it hard to negotiate.
You know why the Qingdao restaurant is so meaningful to me. There's no way I'll give way.
Call the person in charge over there.
No need to care too much about the price, the important thing is to get the deal.
Shen Ge Ge!
Make an appointment with Tai Di right now, call me when he gets here.
Hello, Miss, here is your chocolate muffin.
Please enjoy.
So good.
Shen Ge Ge still remembers what I like to eat.
I thought that after you got married, you'd forget about me.
Little Shadow,
I didn't let you know about my getting married, because...
I know! You were afraid of me telling Aunty.
I'm glad you can understand it.
Shen Ge Ge, I understand your worries,
but I'm your Little Shadow.
I will always be on your side, so long as you give the word.
How could I have informed Aunty.
I'm really disappointed that you have such little trust in me.
I originally thought that the two of us were the closest people
in the world.
Who'd have thought that such an important event in your life,
you would choose to hide it from me.
It's okay, Little Shadow. I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
As Shen Ge Ge's Little Shadow,
no matter what kind of decision you make, I will always understand and support you.
But this time,
you have to make it up to me!
Okay, I will.
When will you introduce me to my sister-in-law?
Haven't you already met her?
Then was then. Now's now.
Her identity's different. Of course we need to meet and get to know each other again.
Has... she moved to your place already?
No.
I was the one who moved to her place.
She said she couldn't leave her old house,
she has deep feelings for that house because she 's stayed there for a long time.
So I gave in to her. Besides, it's pretty boring to live alone.
Shen Ge Ge, you are so considerate.
Then I will go to sister-in-law's house to visit you guys.
Why don't we set a time?
Hello?
Tai Di's arrived?
Ok, tell him to wait for five minutes and I will be there soon.
I almost forgot I made an appointment with Teddy about work.
You're so busy, go ahead!
Don't delay your work.
I will talk with President Li alone.
How was the promotional plan of your new brand of coffee ?
You like Meng Chu Xia.
Previously, when you and Chu Xia talked about each other, you both said you were friends.
I thought that so many years have passed,
you didn't have the same feelings that you had during college anymore.
But when I saw you take her away at the wedding,
the way you looked at me and the necklace Chu Xia wore,
I realized that there were some things that I was unclear about.
It's true that I like her.
But the result, as everybody can see, is she chose you.
Although the progress of your relationship was astonishingly fast,
but no matter what,
since she married you,
it's proved that in her heart,
I'm just an old friend.
Tai Di,
if I had known about your situation a little bit more beforehand, maybe...
Maybe what?
If you had known that I liked Chu Xia, you wouldn't have married her then?
Do you really love Chu Xia or not? If your feelings toward Chu Xia,
can be so easily taken back, then I'm really worried about Chu Xia.
I...
Tai Di,
now that things have progressed to this stage, I don't know what to tell you besides I'm sorry.
I don't want to hear those words.
Somebody once said, a man should know how to concede defeat.
If you don't want to answer my question,
I won't force you. Chu Xia is a very cautious person
in her personal life, but ultimately, she still chose you.
She must have her own reasons.
I just want you to tell me clearly today.
Can you give her happiness?
I can't control Chu Xia's personal feelings,
but I will do my best to protect her,
and take care of her and Meng Xiang,
to repay her back for all she did for me.
Remember your promise to me today,
and I heard that your wedding was held rather secretively
because your mom doesn't like her.
Shen An, there's some things I need to tell you today.
I know what you want to say. Don't worry,
I won't let anybody hurt her.
Then you and I, are we still friends?
Otherwise...
I'm putting off my own work
to come here to help a stranger plan and strategize?
How dare you fire me?! Are you new here? I'm asking you now!
Please let me stay.
I beg you, don't fire me.
I beg you.
Sis, if you fire me, I will die for you to see!
Don't... don't...
Don't... fire me.
I beg you, let me stay.
What kind of rotten company is this? I quit!
I don't need it.
Sister-in-law.
Jia Ying.
