[Episode 7]
Mom! Get up quickly!
What are you doing? Why are you still looking for it?
We can just buy her a new one.
If you buy a new one, can Ms. Dong use it?
Just look with me.
Mom, take off this uniform right now.
Quit this job, won't you?
It's not like I can't afford to support you. Why suffer like this?
You can support me now
but have we paid off your father's debts yet?
Mom, I'll pay off the debt, okay?
Why can't I make you understand?
Every day the debt is still not paid off, I can hardly sleep.
All right, just let me set my heart at ease.
Help me look.
Did you get it done?
Of course.
How are you going to thank me?
You should be happy too.
- I feel just so-so about it. - Just so-so?
I'm sure Ms. Dong must have steam coming out of her ears.
That doesn't make you happy?
To be honest, I used to really hate people like you.
People who are conceited because they're in charge
and behave so arrogantly as if they control the whole world.
And now?
I still absolutely hate you.
That's what makes you An Qing Huan. You don't change over time.
I like hearing that.
It almost sounds like you're paying me a compliment.
You've probably never complimented anyone before.
Be honest. You must dislike me a lot.
I don't dislike anyone, but I've never liked anyone either.
In my eyes, there are only two types of people.
People who can play games with me
and people who don't deserve to play games with me.
A classic narcissist.
What else could I be?
That's because you've never suffered any hardship.
When the day comes when you can't even fill your stomach, you will discover--
Don't worry. That day will never come.
Sir, why don't you contact your family?
What are you doing? Why should I leave?
- It's not like I'm not paying! - Why don't you call your family?
I'm not leaving!
Give me another bottle of wine!
What do you think?
That's the bedroom. Get some rest.
I'm leaving now. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.
Call me if you need anything.
Is there any wine here?
Wine?
I want to drink some wine.
Can you drink given your current health condition?
This illness is precisely why I want to drink.
Don't jump to conclusions. Go to sleep.
After the results come back tomorrow
if it is benign, I'll drink with you after you nurse yourself back to health.
We can even get drunk.
And if it's malignant?
Why are you so pessimistic?
How could that be possible? You're so young and look so healthy.
Don't think silly thoughts.
- I think you should-- - I just want to drink. I can't sleep.
This man ordered several expensive bottles of wine as soon as he arrived.
He started drinking immediately and was drunk soon after.
His bill hasn't been paid yet. If you know him, please help him pay the bill.
Get up.
Hey, get up. You're so embarrassing.
He looks really drunk.
Call his family to pick him up.
We checked his call log and called his wife
but her phone is turned off.
If you can't help, we'll have to call the police.
We don't know him! We were just curious.
Go ahead and call the police.
Aren't you his boss? You're just going to leave him?
It's after work hours, Sis. I'm not related to him in any way.
Let's go.
Ding Ren Jian!
What are you doing?
Don't put on an act in front of me.
That's so annoying.
Who's putting on an act for you?
I hate stuck-up bosses like you, who don't care about their employees.
How are you any different from Qin Zhen?
Get up!
Anyway, I know him, so I can't pretend like I don't.
You're so damn heavy.
You may not care, but I do.
Tell your boss to charge the bill to Zhai Zhi Wei's account.
Grab my bag.
Where are we going now?
How would I know where he lives?
Can we go to your house?
Of course not! My parents are sleeping.
How old are you? You still live with your parents?
Forget it! Let's go to my house.
What?
That's the last glass. Don't drink anymore.
Stop drinking.
Can't you let me get drunk just this once?
- You are already drunk. - I'm not drunk!
I'm not drunk. I would know.
Tang, I'll be honest with you.
I haven't been drunk in nearly 10 years.
You?
You can still get drunk. Go to sleep now, won't you?
I'm not going to sleep.
Do you think I'm bragging?
I'm not.
Do you know why I haven't gotten drunk in so many years?
When I wake up every morning, I feel as if
there are countless things stressing me to the point that I can't breathe.
Sometimes, I think I should just let myself faint.
But I can't.
I have to soldier on.
With those three men at home
if there's even one thing I fail to arrange for them
they are capable of turning the house upside down.
If there's even one thing I fail to account for
then at any given moment, a coworker could become my superior.
I just don't get it. Where do I fall short compared to them?
I'm smarter than them, more hardworking than them
more disciplined than them, and more careful than them.
But why am I no match for them?
Lin Yue, we don't compare ourselves to others.
We're better than other people.
I've always had no doubt...
that I could live a respectable life by relying on myself.
I can still accomplish something in my career.
I can still pursue happiness in life.
But why is it so hard to keep persisting?
I finally understand.
No matter how driven a person is, he can't win against fate.
What is the saying?
"Your ambition may be great, but your fate is miserable."
Me. It's talking about me.
How can God be so cruel to me?
Why is God in such a hurry to take me away?
Lin Yue, let's not talk about this.
It's all my fault.
If I hadn't gone abroad back then, things would have turned out differently.
You wouldn't have become who you are now.
Am I that great now?
I thought that by striving for better
I could provide a better life for you and give you more happiness.
I came back to find you with Ding.
He is also my closest friend.
It's not your fault.
You're just someone who likes to win.
Back then...
your career was more important than love.
In your world...
if there was no success and no competition...
wouldn't you find it so boring?
But I'm different now.
Lin Yue, I sincerely want to tell you...
- I really-- - All right, enough.
It's much too late.
I have to go to sleep.
I can go on my own.
Hurry, hurry.
Can you manage? Oh my goodness.
Where do I put him? Where?
The sofa, the sofa!
He stinks!
I'll be damned if I don't fire you tomorrow!
Sorry for dragging Your Highness into this.
You can go home and rest now.
What? You're going to let him spend the night here alone with you?
In the state he's in, where could I send him?
Do you know him? Are you close with him? He's a male stranger!
You're so careless, An Qing Huan.
Hey, he's your employee. You could say I'm even helping you.
Besides, I've met him on several occasions.
One has to be capable to commit evil deeds.
Look at his current state.
Is he capable of doing anything bad?
That's true.
He still can't stay. He's still a man, isn't he?
What do you propose, then?
I'm going to stay too.
If I let you stay
I would still have a male stranger spending the night.
You consider me a stranger?
Do I know you very well?
You said it.
I can't be bothered with you.
I can't be bothered with you!
I wasn't going to bother with you
but I've decided to stay for the sake of your safety.
You can go sleep in your room. If you're worried, you can lock the door.
Goodnight, brat.
Goodnight, Sis.
Honey...
Why are you sleeping here?
I don't want to talk about last night. Scram.
Where am I?
I told you to scram. Did you hear me?
You puked five times last night. I helped you to the restroom!
The sixth time, I puked before you did.
Sorry, Boss. I really drank too much last night.
I blacked out and can't remember anything.
What is this place?
I'm going to say this one last time. I'm at my limit with you. I said scram!
Yes, yes.
Do you mean for me to scram out of here or scram back to the office?
- Scram! - I'm going. I'm going.
- You're up! - What are you doing here?
This is my house.
You drank too much last night.
- Your boss and I carried you-- - I said scram!
Yes, yes, right away.
Breakfast!
You're up.
Which would you like, milk or orange juice?
- Milk. - Okay.
Go wash up and have breakfast.
Thank you.
For what?
- Last night... - What happened last night?
Was there a rat or a robber last night?
I really shouldn't have left you here alone.
I just got back.
Next time. Next time, I won't leave after bringing you here, okay?
You make it sound so real.
I deeply respect women. And much more when it's you.
The things you don't want me to remember, I will forget.
The things you don't want me to do, I definitely won't do.
Don't just stand there. Go wash up, and come have breakfast.
You have to go to the hospital later.
Okay.
Every time...
a friend does something to betray me, the first thing I think is
"I was blind. I was blind!"
The next second, the thought quickly becomes
"That is my friend! That is my friend!"
Every time my wife, my dear wife, does something to betray me...
The first thing I think is, "I've spoiled her. I've spoiled her."
But in the next second, no, right away, I think...
"I love her. I love her. I love her!"
You have had too much to drink.
- I haven't had too much. - You're drunk--
What are you doing, Ding Ren Jian?
Get away. How I lecture my wife is none of your business!
Move aside!
Darn, I really drank too much last night.
Mister, please stop at the mall up ahead. I need to buy something.
Hello, sir. Are you looking to buy a phone?
Is it for yourself or for your girlfriend?
It's for my wife.
Have a look at our newest smartphone.
Okay, I'll take it in rose gold.
Mister, go to my wife's office.
Where does your wife work?
- Head towards the Panjiayuan area. - Okay.
Don't panic. Lin Yue called this morning.
She's using some of her personal days.
She didn't tell you? Her phone is turned off as well.
That's because her phone broke yesterday.
I had last-minute overtime yesterday and didn't go home.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Dad, it's me.
Is Lin Yue at home?
She didn't come home last night?
We were together last night.
We just had a very late dinner, so we didn't come home.
There's no problem at all. Don't stir up any trouble.
We'll talk when I get back.
She didn't go home last night?
[Tang]
Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is not available.
Sorry, the subscriber--
Sir, we're here.
Talk it out nicely when you see your wife.
Mr. Ding, yes?
- Here to see Chairman Tang in unit C? - Yes, is he home?
He came home late last night. His car is still here.
By the way, the lady who usually comes with you--
That's my wife. She's here too?
Your wife? She's here.
You two are so strange.
Why didn't you two come together?
I'll give him a call. You can go in if he gives the okay.
If he doesn't, I really can't help you.
- Wait. - What is it? Are you going in or not?
I'll wait a bit.
Vice President Qin, Ms. Dong.
I brought Ms. Gui here to apologize to you.
Ms. Dong, I'm sorry about yesterday. I was at fault.
I found your contacts, and I cleaned them for you.
Do you think I'll use them just because you washed them?
Ms. Dong, I'm really sorry. It was all my fault.
Tell me how much your contacts cost and where you bought them.
I'll buy you a new pair.
I bought these contacts in Germany. How will you replace them?
How about this, Vice President Qin and Ms. Dong?
As compensation, our salon will provide you
with free Gold Facial spa packages for the season.
What do you think?
Okay, okay. It's not like this is a big deal.
We have a meeting later. Hurry and set up for our facial.
Thank you so much for your understanding.
Ms. Gui, go prepare.
Thank you, thank you.
Mom, those contacts were a gift from Zhi Wei when we traveled to Germany.
Do you have to fuss over such a minor matter?
You should be spending more time thinking about how to capture Zhi Wei's heart
and help me kick that wench, An Qing Huan, out of the picture.
Sir, we've been waiting over an hour already.
The deed should be done by now.
What did you say?
Hurry, hurry! Follow that car!
Okay, don't worry. I'm on it.
This is so exciting.
Sir, if I were you, I'd have lost my temper already.
How can you tolerate this?
They must have a bun in the oven already.
Shut up your jinxed mouth.
Keep the change.
Sir, sir!
If you don't let me watch the whole show, I won't be able to sleep tonight!
Thank you.
Why are you here?
To catch adulterers.
See for yourself.
[MRI Results]
[Lymph nodes showing on the left side. Increase in possible lesions.]
Fortunately, it's benign.
Ding Ren Jian, this didn't just happen suddenly.
What have you been doing every day?
I...
- I've been busy. - What have you been busy with?
It's not his fault. I didn't take it seriously either.
Every time it hurt, I endured it.
This time, I really couldn't stand it so--
Don't make excuses for him.
Ding Ren Jian, are you still a man?
Lin Yue is ill. Are you her husband? Is she your wife?
Do you not feel anything at all?
What did the doctor say?
Two methods.
Conservative treatment, controlling it with Chinese medical methods.
The other option is surgery.
You must have the surgery.
I'll find you the best doctors in the country.
You must get rid of it once and for all.
Ding, what is your opinion?
I'll go with whatever you want.
Conservative treatment, then.
I'm absolutely not going under the knife.
Honey...
Is conservative treatment reliable?
What if your condition worsens?
If that happens, then I'm just unlucky.
It's not a good time for me to have surgery.
I just received a big project.
If I complete this project, I will definitely get a promotion.
Marketing Director of the Northern China region.
You know I've waited three years for this position.
Besides, we just purchased a house. How would we afford the surgery?
Honey.
I'll cover the surgery costs.
Tang, thank you so much, but this is our family's problem.
- Right, Ding? - Yes.
Honey, let's talk to a doctor.
If he says surgery is the better option, you'll do the surgery.
Don't worry about the cost. You can count on me.
Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you.
Chairman Zhai.
This is the equipment supply contract. Please review it.
I've already heard about this.
- Well done. Have a seat. - Thank you.
As for the renovation budget, I hope you can lower it by half.
- But-- - This isn't a suggestion. It's an order.
I know you must be very unwilling, and you'll face a lot of difficulty.
However, since Vice President Qin and Jia Xin can manage with half the budget
I'm unable to approve your budget.
After all, this is business.
It isn't your dream or my dream.
I understand.
Dad, I came home late last night, so I didn't wake up early.
Did you buy this breakfast?
Why would I have bought it? Ren Jian made this!
After he made it, he rushed off to work.
Think about it. We only have four people!
He practically made a state banquet!
This is a waste, a complete waste!
Mom, Dad bought this for you.
Where is he?
He left for work after he finished breakfast.
He wants you to turn on the phone and see if you like it.
Are you two okay?
We're fine. What could be wrong?
I left early to go to the hospital to make an appointment with a specialist.
We'll get a consult.
I broke your phone yesterday, so I bought a new one for you.
I tore up the receipt, afraid you would return it to save money.
We're not young anymore. Our health will only get worse.
If you're ill, you have to tell me.
I will work hard to take care of you.
We're an inseparable family.
Mom, that's mine.
Here.
I'll open a new one for you. Here.
Drink more.
Dad, have an egg.
Here, Man Yi.
You have one too. Eat more.
Ms. Dong, we'll begin now.
- Today, we're-- - Why is it you again?
What's all the noise for? You're giving me a headache.
It doesn't matter who does it.
I'll start you off with a relaxing massage.
In addition, you have to give me
a menu for the new restaurant as soon as possible.
I'm going to arrange a tasting.
Okay.
I'll invite the industry's well-known food critics.
Of course, Vice President Qin and Jia Xin will also attend.
This is an opportunity for you.
It's also a trap.
You're just like Zhi Wei in this regard.
He also says whatever he wants.
But, I like it.
As for whether it is a trap or a step up, it all depends on the person.
How much time do you think you'll need?
One week.
You're much braver than I thought.
It is said that the ignorant knows no fear.
Okay then, I wish you success.
Okay.
Ms. Dong, the facial is complete.
Is there anything else you would like to have done?
No.
Damn your half! Damn you!
Damn your half budget! They're all in cahoots! F--- you!
One week... I actually said that. One week!
How did I have the nerve to say that?
How could I do that?
Why would I do that?
- Oh my gosh. - Manager An?
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm tying my shoelaces.
Oh, there are no shoelaces.
Uh...
Bring me all of Zen Corporation's past menus.
- I need to look over them. - Okay.
Thank you, thank you.
Even my legs have turned to jelly.
Zhu Gan! Save me!
Put it down.
Where's my necklace?
What necklace?
The limited-edition diamond necklace my dad gave me for my 18th birthday.
For heaven's sake.
Where did you put it after you took it off?
I put it in the jewelry box.
You were the one who put the jewelry box away?
Yes, I put it away.
I placed it in the cabinet right away. Nothing could have fallen out.
Ms. Dong, think again.
Are you sure you placed the necklace in the jewelry box?
What's the matter, Vice President Qin?
What's the matter? You have a thief in the house.
Please don't worry.
I will investigate thoroughly and give you a satisfactory explanation.
Let's go, Jia Xin.
Have a good day, Vice President Qin.
This is money leftover after purchasing that ring for An Qing Huan.
I have to admit I committed a mistake that all losers make.
I was trying to benefit at your expense.
I apologize.
In hindsight, my actions were despicable.
All the money is on the card. You can check the bank statement.
I've also handed over my work duties.
Actually, there's not much to hand over.
When I'm gone, someone will still serve you coffee
take care of your dry cleaning, and make restaurant reservations.
On the other hand, everything became a mess once I got here.
Not only did I steal your reserved room
I even embarrassed you in front of the girl you like.
Most importantly, I killed your money tree.
I don't know why it died after I got here.
I actually glued on the leaves you see there now...
I'll buy you a new one later.
I've said everything I wanted to say.
I... will leave now.
CEO Zhai, if you hired me to play with me
I'm sorry you didn't get to have your fill of fun.
Ding Ren Jian.
Did you bring an umbrella?
I actually did.
The weather is so erratic. You never know when it might rain.
Can you learn to keep quiet?
I... guess I can. I'll try my best.
Determination is a good trait. Come with me.
Ms. Gui, you heard as well.
Vice President Qin is only giving us 24 hours.
I may be the manager of this salon
but I have always treated everyone fairly and without discrimination.
It's reasonable to say that at your age
you're no longer suitable for this line of work.
Because...
you were the one who guided and trained me when I first started working
I allowed you to stay.
Everyone is aware of your unfortunate family circumstances.
You carry your husband's debt.
But, after today's incident
the entire salon will have to take the blame for you.
I can't show you mercy just because I have a soft spot for you.
I need to hold myself accountable to all the other workers here.
All right, don't just stand there.
Boss, if you're going to fire me, do it already.
You're not taking me to the edge of the city to sell me, are you?
I said you had better learn to keep quiet.
If you say another word, I'll kick you out of the car.
Come give her a hand. Come here.
Come here.
Hurry up.
My mother has advanced stomach cancer.
She had three-quarters of her stomach removed a while back.
She was discharged not too long ago and doesn't have much of an appetite.
But, as long as my dad is home
she will sit down for dinner with my dad and force herself to eat a little bit.
But, I know that as soon as my dad goes upstairs for a shower
she will secretly rush to the toilet and throw up everything she ate.
