Far Away Love Episode 20
Okay then. I understand already.
Miss Qiao, I'll be going then.
Little Shadow, I know that you surely have a lot of questions right now,
but I can only tell you that the reason
Marvin went to Qingdao to open this restaurant
is for another woman.
I believe that if you know the truth,
you will definitely agree with what I'm doing
and will also keep this secret for me.
Right?
Yes.
Please drink some water first.
Okay. Thank you.
This big brother... later... after hearing the words that I'll be saying...
please don't get too emotional first. If I say something that's unpleasant,
d-d-don't take it to heart.
But don't also not take everything to heart.
You don't have any heart disease, right?
That's good then.
I'm... being fired?
That... the company will give you 3 months of salary as compensation.
And also, if you want to look for a job,
we will give you a very good recommendation letter. Is that okay with you?
I'll go and do the paper work now.
This big brother!
All these explanations have no meaning. I just want to know
why the other party suddenly changed their mind when we are just about to sign a contract?
Is it because you guys didn't handle your relationship with the other party well?
Enough already. Don't say anymore. I don't care what the reason was.
Just take care of this problem as soon as possible.
Or else, don't bother coming back from Qingdao.
That's all then. I'm hanging up.
Although I don't really mind a wife looking for her husband during working hours,
but it seems that it's not the kind of private matter that I was looking forward to.
President, this is the employee that I had an appointment with today. I got to understand his situation a little.
Their family situation is really bad.
Can the company give him another chance?
Impossible.
Meng Chu Xia, this is the company's administrative procedure.
He used to be a sales agent with lots of connections. It's just that he's really been down on his luck for the past half year.
His son had a lawsuit, and he himself got sick.
The retail outlets that he originally handled were snatched away by others.
That's why his sales were affected.
Whether or not he can stay at Shen Group is based on how much profit he can generate for the company
and not based on how many difficulties he has.
Understand?
Have you thought whether this is fair to the other employees?
With his current state, even if I allowed him to stay, whether he'll still be capable of handling his work in future?
Being a sales agent requires a lot of running around, and is too stressful. He himself knows that he won't be able to cope with it.
But I noticed that his character is very mature, gentle, and generous.
He can work in customer service.
President, just give him one more chance. President--
Meng Chu Xia, this is a company and not a place for you showcase your overflowing compassion.
No need for me to think about it anymore. My answer is
no way.
But if you don't let him try, how do you know that he can't do it?
And with this second chance that was so hard to come by,
he'll definitely be more hardworking and more serious than other employees.
President Shen, Mrs. Shen.
The other employees know of his difficulties.
Everyone will understand.
Meng Chu Xia, putting it nicely, this is called hope.
Putting it bluntly, it's called fantasy.
If something happens in the future, will he take responsibility or will you take responsibility?
Looks like our new Mrs. Shen is not receiving any special treatment.
I initially thought that
my daughter-in-law, who initially left through the back door but eventually returned to the Shen family,
would definitely be arrogant because she's favoured.
But now, it seems like my son hasn't changed because of you.
I feel a lot more reassured.
Chairwoman.
You should call her mother.
How long haven't you called me that already?
I won't be able to bear it if Ms. Meng calls me that.
Chairwoman, if I'd a choice, I wouldn't have returned to Shen Group to work either.
But please rest assured. The President and I have already reached an understanding
that when we are at work here at Shen Group, I'm just a regular employee.
I will rely on my own hard work to get the remuneration I deserve.
Rest assured.
Ms. Meng, you made use of the enmity between my son and I
and was able to scheme the status of Mrs. Shen, this sparkling gold crown.
Why are you still here pretending to be independent, noble, and virtuous?
Don't you find that a little absurd?
What do you mean by making use of enmity?
Shen An, I've also calmed down and thought about it these past few days.
If I wasn't so strongly against your relationship before,
I believe that two of you would not have gotten married this fast.
Out of my consideration to protect you and Shen Group,
I didn't do anything too drastic.
You can treat it as a mother being lenient with her son.
But Shen An...
try analyzing it from another perspective.
Even if you want to put a random woman in your house
to be your wife,
is this woman qualified?
Chairwoman, if you've heard any rumors from others
or if my attitude towards her earlier made you develop some wrong perceptions,
I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you.
Me and my wife are truly in love.
Even if my tone was a little harsh harsh, it's also due to my respect towards her work.
In reality, no matter whether it's personal or work matters,
as long as it's a request from her, I will carefully think about it.
Chu Xia, regarding the matter that you begged me earlier for, I'll agree to it..
A few days ago, I already told you
to forgive me if I really don't have time to share my personal matters with others/outsiders.
If you don't have business matters to discuss, then I'll be leaving with my wife now.
See that?
My mom will not easily accept this marriage. I'm afraid that you must continue this act with me for quite a long time.
Chairwoman is also doing it for your own good.
She's already insulted you to such an extent and you're still trying to defend her?
Chairwoman...
just had some misunderstanding about me from before. That's why she scolded and tried to bribe me.
But that time, I really didn't have anything to do with you. Of course, I'd get angry.
But right now, I'm considered as colluding with you to fool others.
I feel very apologetic for making an elder hurt and sad.
If you know what she did in the past,
then you wouldn't have such worries. Don't worry.
Chairwoman was able to take Shen Group from an small unknown brand to great heights on her own,
her heart is very strong.
She might feel sad,
but what she's sad about will be because she's no longer in command of her son's life.
What exactly happened
that made a mother and son relationship so strained?
You don't need to bother about other things and you don't need to feel guilty.
Just treat it as taking revenge for that girl in the past.
That...
is the matter you agreed to earlier still valid?
Have him report to the Director of Customer Service Department tomorrow.
Really?!
You are definitely the most handsome and most compassionate President I have ever met.
Thank you.
But I hope that this kind of situation will not happen again.
Just this once. Never again.
This situation is a little unique. Although his performance in External Affairs isn't very good,
but his hobby is computer programming.
It'll be a pity if we don't have him in our IT department.
President, while you may judge him by his fiendish looks,
he's actually a graduate from a fine arts college.
He can try out in our advertising department.
Can he?
President, it's true that she's not good at accounting.
But look at her, she's so pretty.
If we train her, she will be an extremely good PR person.
Can she?
This really is the last time.
Meng Chu Xia, what do you treat me as?
A complaint center supervisor? Or an agricultural trading market administrator?
How many people have you brought to see me these past few days? Have you counted?
Looks like you're not suitable to be in your current position.
From tomorrow onwards, you'll go work at Lontano restaurant.
But--
No 'but's.
Your job is to work according to the company rules,
not using your identity as Mrs. Shen to bring salvation to the masses.
I've never thought of using the identity of Mrs. Shen.
Those people I brought to you have really been faced with all kinds of difficulties.
That's all for the matter. Tomorrow, report at the restaurant.
It's true that I've been crossing the line lately,
but I really only wanted to discuss it with you.
In the end, it was still you who said to leave it.
Just like my life,
you're making all the decisions in the end.
If there's nothing else, I'm going to go, President.
It seems I came at the wrong time.
How could that be? Didn't we said to meet-up?
You've been given another three months, you can only stay if you pass the mark.
Thank you, President. Thank you.
I must look like a fool. Worker problems.
Are you and Chu Xia okay?
I just talked to you about it last time, and by what I see this time.
I'm a little worried.
We just had a little misunderstanding that's work-related.
Isn't this considered monitoring a friend's marriage?
Better to call it supervising.
I'm concerned about Chu Xia living well after marrying you,
but at the same time I'm a friend to both of you. There's no conflict, right?
Why? Are you getting nervous?
You're welcome to supervise.
Regarding the problem with the ad for the new coffee, I've already thought about your suggestions.
Did the item from the States arrive yet?
Miss, it just arrived this morning. It's in the living room.
You don't need to prepare for dinner already. I won't be eating here.
Yes, Miss.
Senior, why are you here?
I met with Shen An for work stuff.
Get in the car. I'll take you home.
No need. I'll just ride the bus home.
That's also fine. Then I'll leave the car and ride the bus with you.
Looks like you're still scared to stir up gossip...
Mrs. Shen.
Senior, stop making a joke out of me.
Actually, when I came today,
I happen to see you and Shen An fighting.
Today was my fault.
Maybe because I've become closer to Shen An lately
that I got muddleheaded
and forgot my place.
You are his wife. Telling him your opinion is just normal.
How can you use word like muddleheaded to describe it?
Chu Xia, that day when we kept Fei Fei company,
I meant what I said.
Although you're married now,
I'm still willing to be that friend that will stay by your side.
Of course, that is if Shen An won't mind.
Why will he mind that?!
What I mean is...
for Senior to think that...
I am really very happy.
Recently, I did indeed go beyond my boundaries.
But I really just want to discuss things with you.
The one who has the last word is still you.
Just like my life.
In the end, it's still all up to you.
Thank you.
Chu Xia...
if right now there are things that you're not willing to do,
or if Shen An is forcing you to do something,
I can talk to him for you.
Ah?
Honestly, this unexpected wedding of yours,
I really can't understand it.
But if there's a hidden agenda behind it,
you can tell me. In this world, a lot of times,
there is more than one path that you can take.
Senior, you're worrying too much.
Shen An is not a bad guy and I'm not that easily bullied.
All these are my own choices.
That's right. A lot of things happened recently
that I never even dreamed about. My life seems to have also steered away from its original path.
But isn't life really just like that?
Changing one's job. Meeting your prince charming.
Just being late 5 minutes, but it causes you to be involved in an unlucky car accident.
Every choice
has the possibility of changing your life's path.
It's true that this wedding caused a lot of things to be in disarray.
More and more people are getting dragged into it.
Some are related to me. Some are not.
It indeed caused me to be a little unprepared.
But my abundant life experience tells me that the chaos will pass too.
Life in the end will still return to tranquility.
That's why, Senior, you must not get involved in it anymore.
Just let me reorganize my life little by little all alone. Okay?
Okay.
Whatever you'll do,
I will unconditionally support you.
If next time you encounter any difficulty and feel helpless,
remember to call me. I will definitely appear
at the place where you need me.
Thank you.
I'm home.
Overtime meetings are really exhausting.
Oh! I'm just in time for dinner. I'll just wash my hands.
I'm sorry.
The dishes on the table are only enough for the two of us.
There's not even a grain of rice that's in excess.
Didn't we already agree that there must be boundaries while we're living together?
I thought that after you asked me to take care of Meng Xiang, you'd be ashamed to mention boundaries again.
Looks like I still underestimated the thickness of someone's face.
Shut up!
I don't even know what you did to Meng Xiang a few days ago.
Look how you frightened the child. He's now...
more obedient.
Meng Chu Xia, admit it. You're taking revenge for work matters.
You purely venting your discontentment over what happened in the office this morning.
Is there a problem with that? In the office, you're the boss.
In here... I'm the boss.
And also, no one has the duty to cook and wait for you to come home, okay?
Let's eat.
I'll go open---No, no, no, no!
Why are you going to open it? What if it's somebody I know well?
Meng Chu Xia, your logic is too weird.
I am staying here as your husband, not some secret lover.
Brother Shen.
- Sister-in-law- Hi, hello.
Sister-in-law, your house is... very comforting.
Put down the item and go back already.
You must be little Meng Xiang, right?
You are...
I am Brother Shen's friend. My name is Qiao Jia Ying.
You can call me Sister Jia Ying.
Looking at what she's saying, she should be calling me auntie.
Looking at your appearance, calling you auntie is quite suitable.
Hello, Auntie Qiao.
How polite!
Jia Ying, take a seat. I'll go get some water for you.
No need, no need. There's no need, sister-in-law.
I haven't come visiting since you got married.
I should have come visiting earlier, but I've been really busy these past few days.
I had some free time today, so I'm delivering your wedding present.
You got a present too? How courteous.
Here, Brother Shen.
Brother Shen, do you still remember?
This picture was given to us by the artist in Sydney.
Didn't you especially like it in the past?
Wow, this is too pretty.
This is the two of you?
Yes, it's us.
Sister-in-law, I know it's not too suitable to put my picture in your house.
But a picture's meaning is different when it's art.
The most important thing is the beauty of the art, right?
Yes.
Also, Brother Shen really liked this picture in the past.
He told me many times that he wanted someone to bring it back from America.
So, I did it with my own hands and brought it back from America.
Sister-in-law, you don't mind, right?
Of course not! How good it looks!
I'm going to take it in.
Right, I brought something for you to eat also.
We've already eaten.
It's fine, then eat this as a midnight snack.
Brother Shen has to eat it every week, otherwise, he'll get sick.
Right, Brother Shen?
Right, Brother Shen.
I've brought your real silk duvet as well.
Brother Shen, didn't you say that if you don't cover up with this when you sleep,
that you'll get nightmares?
Our cotton blankets didn't chaff Prince Shen's delicate skin did they, right?
Thanks, Little Shadow. Just put it here.
I'll spread it out for you!
I'll spread it for you.
Brother Shen, do you two sleep on such a small bed?
How could you...?
No, he sleeps on the sofa.
Aren't you married? Why are you sleeping separately?
I slept on the sofa yesterday--
Your sister-in-law has an odd temper, she told me to sleep on the sofa as a punishment.
I still haven't forgiven you yet.
You guys are arguing, so sweet!
But, isn't sister-in-law famous for having a good temper?
Why so strict with Brother Shen?
She's gentle in front of the whole world, but only throws tantrums in front of me.
Doesn't that prove that I'm very special in her heart?
Okay, okay. Stop showing off your love.
I'm just jealous watching.
Brother Shen, I brought your pajamas too.
Today, I want to change up my studying environment.
The living room will do.
Auntie Qiao, when I study, I need it to be especially quiet.
So...
Meng Xiang! What are you doing?
It's fine, sister-in-law. Studying is important.
How about this, let's have the three of us go talk in a café?
I don't get one of the questions, can you help me?
Okay, sure. In this house, your needs come first.
Jia Ying, ignore them. I'll go with you.
Mom, I want to drink white fungus and lotus seed soup.
Now?
Looks like, little Meng Xiang doesn't quite like me being here.
No, impossible, impossible.
He's been in a bad temper since undergoing the high school exams.
You're a guest, stay however long you want. Don't mind him.
No way, sister-in-law. How could I?
Who would haggle with such a cute child over such a small matter?
Also, my temper was been worse than his when I was small. Right, Brother Shen?
Because he always had to come to my school.
I'll drink some water.
Oh no!
That was an accident.
This kid! How could this be an accident?
Jia Ying.
I didn't do it on purpose.
My right foot tripped over my left foot.
Not an accident... how did you step on it so coincidentally?
Doesn't that prove I didn't do it on purpose?
Hurry and apologize to her.
Hurry.
I'm sorry, Auntie Qiao.
I accidentally broke your present.
But, looking at how pretty you are, you must be kind-hearted.
You won't mind, right?
This kid... you're speaking so weirdly.
I'm sorry, Jia Ying.
Of course, Auntie Qiao won't mind.
Right, Little Shadow?
It's fine.
Hi, you're here?
It's this season's new stock.
How is it? There was a 5% off sale at the mall today. I struggled to grab this one.
Not bad.
But it would be better if you got the limited edition.
There's a limited edition for this bag?
Of course. It's hard to buy in this country.
All of the rich women buy it in Europe.
Since this bag was so hard to get, I'm fine with this one.
You can carry this on your day-to-day activities. But if you're attending events with me,
it's better if you change it.
Why?
I only bought this bag to go to events with you.
If I can only carry this from day-to-day, why did I have to buy such an expensive bag?
Fei Fei, this bag has been really famous this year.
I've already seen many wives and young women holding the limited edition.
If you're holding a normal edition, they won't say anything directly,
but subconsciously, your status will drop.
Hello Tai Di.
Fei Fei?
Why are you here?
I had a company co-worker meet-up that I had to go to.
This is...?
President Li, long time no see.
You two know each other?
I'm sorry, you are...?
We met last time at your website launch event.
It's just that there were a lot of people and you were especially busy.
Maybe you don't remember me.
It's my fault, look at my memory.
This is my boyfriend, his name is Daniel.
Daniel, I've heard of you!
I've heard Chu Xia and Er Peng telling me before.
- For you.-Thanks.
I'm sorry, I didn't even bring my business card.
How could that be? Do famous people like President Li still need business cards?
Fei Fei, why didn't you tell me earlier that President Li is your friend?
I've said it. Chu Xia, Er Peng and Senior Tai Di.
I didn't introduce him as a CEO.
Between us friends, we never talk about work.
Please don't call me President Li from now on, call me Tai Di.
Okay, President Li-- Tai Di.
Actually, I had a meal with a few old presidents.
You also know them, SJ Corporation's President's grandchild and Tian Lai Corporation's President Zhao.
We talked about new young parvenus at the dinner table.(newly rich but lacking the necessary social skills and status)
They are so impressed by you.
I'm really unaware... I don't know them.
Really, I will introduce to you if I have the chance.
You are a new IT parvenu always low key.
You should join our next party.
We have a party tomorrow, will you come?
I have something to do tomorrow, maybe another time.
Fei Fei, you brought a new bag.
Yes.
- It's really pretty.- Really?
Yes, it fits you well.
But it's just a normal edition.
It can't compare with a limited edition. It's embarrassing when I use it.
Fei Fei, when did you lose your confidence?
It's not important for a limited edition bag, it's enough for a person who is limited.
That's right! We think the same.
I just talked to her, this bag is perfect for her.
Right, Fei Fei?
Since we speak the same language, that's means we have something in common.
Since you don't have time tomorrow, then how about Friday?
Tai Di, I'm sorry, we have a movie date,
It will start in thirty minutes, we've got to go.
- Really, hurry and go, don't be late.- En.
Okay, Tai Di, see you.
Bye, bye, let's go.
- It's getting late.- Bye bye.
Bye bye.
What do you mean?
When did we buy movie tickets?
Tai Di is my friend.
Did I do something rude to him?
It's too polite and too warm.
Chu Xia, Er Peng and Tai Di,
they are all the same to me, we all get along together.
Would you please not act like you want something from him?
You made me embarrassed.
Fei Fei, you're a business woman.
Friends are resources. I think you use them better than I do.
Haven't you ever worked with Li Tai Di and begged him to help you ?
He introduced his website bosses to me for sure.
But in the end, my company used our strength
to pass through all the levels and get the job.
Then I didn't lie or anything, I just wanted to ask him out to talk.
I didn't say I'd try to attempt anything, you are too much.
You want to take him to your "high end party"，
to show everybody you have a popular IT friend,
and to promote your identity and position in your friend circles.
Is that a problem?
Will he loose anything?
Fei Fei, as my girlfriend,
you haven't made Li Tai Di and I closer
for him to tell me something separate, business or private. I don't understand.
Daniel, you already have a decent living
but why do you have to scheme
to bootlick someone?
What? What kind of words are you using?
Bootlick?
Fei Fei, when you say these kind of words to me
don't you think you're saying it about yourself also?
Let's ask someone on the street,
who hasn't put a smile on their face just for their boss?
Who hasn't had dinner with someone just because they wanted to use them?
Aren't these the unspoken rules of the world?
I like making friends with those who have abilities.
If I promote my friend level, is there something wrong with it?
Fei Fei, I like you,
because you have clear vision of this society.
Also, you are willing to join me in this game and enjoy it.
I didn't know you are playing Bai Lian Hua.
You are so disappointing.
Stop the car!
Stop!
I was wrong.
Let's go home.
Aren't you doing transfer procedures? Where are you taking me?
I'll give you a gift before I leave, follow me.
Ah,
Sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I want to apologize for Meng Xiang's behavior.
He did too much to Miss Qiao yesterday.
But he doesn't have any bad intentions.
If I was fifteen maybe I would do the same thing,
so you don't have to apologize for him without his knowing.
Am I seeing things wrong?
How come you and Meng Xiang are in such absolute agreement within the last two days?
Even the tone of your voices are similar.
I wonder what has happened between the two of you.
It's very simple. Great minds just think alike.
Why don't you say a snake and a mouse living in the same nest?
Don't forget, you are included in there too.
Follow me.
So this is your gift for me?
If you wanted so much to have coffee alone with me,
I could have suggested a better place.
Drink your coffee.
I was wrong yesterday.
Even though I could not boast of any accomplishment,
I have been in the workplace for a few years so I understand
that a boss like you does not see things the same way as a lowly employee like me.
I should not be making demands on you because of our personal relationship.
I apologize.
Then you still won't give me dinner anymore?
At last you are not hungry anyway.
You are in charge of everything,
can't you let the victim vent her emotions?
Shush, shush.
What?
What happened? How many times has it been edited now?
Already the 6th time and he still won't let us pass.
One more time, let God take care of it.
Okay, fighting!
Pissed me off.
His name is Big Wang, normally he is so nice,
but he has a big problem, his boss.
His group leader has a special thing, it's that he won't say everything all at one time.
So Big Wang's file has changed many times already.
Then you want me talk to his group leader?
No, continue watching.
I really love you.
But my customer doesn't love you.
Okay, I haven't drunk all morning. I'm so thirsty.
This is Maggi.
She always travels because it's her job,
but her boyfriend is always bugging her.
Even if she has a business trip, he wants to follow her.
So that's affected her sales,
and then the two are always arguing also.
Is there a baby in the company?
That‘s Fang's.
Her baby still needs breastfeeding,
so her husband brings her baby to her when she's on break
so that she can feed her baby.
I know in your heart,
Shen's Group is like a high-speed machine.
Each employee is a part of this machine,
if this part breaks, then we change to a new one,
but these people have happiness, sadness and worries.
Maybe they failed today, but tomorrow they will try harder to make one hundred percent.
They are not parts of a machine.
Actually, I...
I don't mean to tell you how to manage the company
and I apologize for giving you a hard time a couple of days ago.
You can call this a gift for helping me,
I only wanted, before I leave here,
to let you rediscover your employees.
I've got to go.
Be careful riding your bike.
I've moved in already for couple days,
you and your son don't know how to copy
me in an elite person's lifestyle.
Mr.Shen,
how do you feel after you rediscovered your employees?
I'm not feeling so bad.
It's very good.
Then, you don't need to move my position, right?
Bye bye.
From today, Miss Meng Chu Xia, will be this restaurant's assistant manager.
Yes, sir. I'll get her familiarized with the business as soon as possible.
Then, Mrs. Shen, would you please follow me to fill out some paperwork?
Please call me Chu Xia.
Do as she wants, she's not the CEO' s wife at work,
so do as you should.
Yes, please.
CEO.
Won't you need to rethink Mrs. Shen's job?
Why?
The Assistant Manager positon has a lot of responsibility.
Mrs. Shen doesn't have any experience.
I'm afraid it'll be hard for her.
I think you should give her an easy and "looking good" kind of job.
That's matching who she is.
Your meaning is
give her a job title, that in fact lets her do nothing.
Yes, I think if you arrange it like that,
Mrs. Shen will be satisfied.
Mrs. Shen, look,
a lot of customers like the red wine in our restaurant.
When you serve red wine you should hold it with both hands,
but don't grip it tightly. Temperature is the most important thing that affects the taste of red wine.
Yes, an easy job and getting a salary every month,
everybody would like that.
But I'm not so sure about her.
Cry, cry, what are you crying about?!
We already broke up!
Do you know? Broken up.
Manager, she's eating the candle instead of eating the dessert, what should we do?
Should we remind her?
No, not in this kind of situation.
If you tell her now, you will make her more embarrassed.
Manager Wu, what do you think
if we take all of the candles on the tables secretly,
and then send a waiter to change her dessert plate.
Also taking the opportunity to bring back her candle too.
That's a good idea.
Hurry.
We meet many kinds of people in customer service.
You will get use to it.
I will pay close attention to it.
Let me do it.
Go.
Hello, shall I change your plate?
It's very nice.
Are you done with your dessert?
Please enjoy.
I thought she couldn't argue with anyone
because she was afraid of trouble, so I put her that position in the HR department.
But I found out she really puts herself in their situation
and treats people as real people.
This is easy to say. But who can do it like this completely.
The job she had last time didn't fit her well.
But we need this kind of person in our restaurant.
We are so lucky we have Meng Chu Xia as the Assistant Manager.
Shen Ge Ge, Auntie doesn't feel good, she seems ill.
