[Episode 10]
- How did you get in? - Your door was wide open!
What's going on with you?
What's going on with me? I'd like to ask what's going on with you!
Who's this man? What's your relationship to him?
An Qing Huan, how can you be so promiscuous?
Do you let men stay over every night?
What are you going on about? Promiscuous?
How is it any of your business who he is?
If I let men stay overnight, is it any of your business?
- Get out of here! - I'm not leaving!
Listen up, An Qing Huan. You've thoroughly pissed me off now.
Who's pissing off whom?
Who's the one who keeps hounding me every day?
I'm hounding you?
Get this clear.
There are tons of women who wish I'd hound them
but I don't give them the time of day!
Look at that. There he goes again.
Then please go to those women who are pursuing you.
Stop showing up at my house. Get out of here.
My electric kettle is broken. Can I borrow one from you?
No, I'm not lending it.
Can you not make me criticize your manners in front of others?
When someone asks to borrow something from you
especially a man as handsome as I am, you'd best lend it to him!
Stop right there. Who exactly are you?
How is it any of your business who he is?
Why are you attacking my friend?
- Go on, go on. - Are you going to be okay?
Yes. The door will be unlocked for you.
Handle it properly. Don't go on a rampage.
Did I hear that correctly?
You said the door is unlocked for him and you told him to return soon?
Yes, that's right. I'm leaving the door unlocked for him.
My door is open for all the men in the world, just not for you.
Say that again.
I can say it another 10 times.
My door is open for all the men in the world.
Except for you! Except for you!
I...
You dare kiss me?
I'm going to kill you! Who do you think you are?
Don't you run!
- Hello. - Mr. Li, right?
Jia Xin said you would be arriving soon. What a coincidence.
I'm looking for the other maid at this house.
You mean Ms. Gui?
I'm the only maid here. Ms. Gui is Jia Xin's personal beautician.
How is a personal beautician different from a maid?
Of course there's a difference.
I'm responsible for doing laundry, cooking, and all household chores.
Ms. Gui is only responsible for Jia Xin's beauty treatments.
Mr. Li, I'll take you to see Ms. Gui.
Okay.
Mr. Li, this way.
Ms. Gui is inside.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
The water temperature is a bit low.
- It's okay. - Okay? It's not acceptable.
I think it's fine.
Is it fine just because you think so?
I'm the boss. You have to listen to me.
The water must be changed.
And she said she wasn't going to be a servant?
I say, Dong--
Mr. Li, you're here.
Why don't you two talk?
If you have time later, come see before you leave.
I have a few things to say to you.
Mom, what was that?
Ms. Dong said I just got out of the hospital and am not fully recovered
so she won't let me work.
She even bought this foot spa for me and tested the water herself.
She told me to soak my feet every night.
You were wrong to blame her.
Now can you be at ease?
I'm not here to be a nanny.
Ms. Dong arranged for me to stay in this guest room.
She even prepared all necessities for me.
So what?
No matter how comfortable it is, it's still not your own home.
Mom, I don't like you living under her roof.
I'll find a new place in two days and come pick you up. Leave with me.
Okay, I'll listen to you.
Are you satisfied?
If you want to buy peace of mind, you've accomplished it.
But if you want to buy our dignities, then you've gone too far with your joke.
That darn pride again?
Sorry, I don't understand.
Dong Jia Xin, I know what you're up to. Don't you dare try anything.
Is that a threat?
Your mom is living in my house and depending on me now.
Is that a threat?
You're no better.
Fine. I'll be picking up my mother in two days.
If there's even a hair missing on her head, I'll--
You'll what? Slap me again?
I won't tell you what I'll do.
Li Dong Ye, I know your name now.
Sooner or later, you'll know the consequences of slapping me!
- Good morning, Boss. - Good morning, Ding Ren Jian.
Are you all right?
I'm doing great. I've never been better.
That's good. I'll go make you some tea.
Come here.
Boss, you're so busy. I shouldn't be here.
- I don't want to bother you. - Come here.
Ding Ren Jian, I have a question for you.
Do you know yesterday's weather forecast?
Weather forecast? A clear day?
Are you sure?
I'll go check.
Check it here. Use your phone.
Clear day.
In the evening, heavy rain in the northern mountain region.
Where's the northern mountain region?
That's a huge area.
I'll shrink it for you.
Was the place we had our match yesterday in the northern mountain region?
You could say so.
I want a precise answer. Check if you don't know.
No need to check. It is in the northern mountain region.
I have another question now.
What was the temperature in the northern mountain region?
Temperature? I have to check.
- How much? - After rainfall, 16 degrees Celsius?
That's the average temperature. How much at the peak?
Even colder.
What happens when there's mud, rain, and a small incline?
- It becomes slippery. - Yes, slippery.
What happens if you slip?
If you slip...
you roll...
What if you don't roll the right way?
If you don't roll the right way...
then you'll roll off the road and fall into a ditch.
Yesterday, at the top of the northern mountain region
I rolled off the road and into a ditch.
So...
- Your nose was also from yesterday-- - It wasn't from this!
What was it from?
Ding Ren Jian, do something for me now.
Tell me.
I rolled off the road and into a ditch yesterday.
Show me how to roll today.
My only request is to give me a good, beautiful, gorgeous roll.
- Boss, that's-- - Roll away!
The contract is so detailed.
Boss.
Tang?
Speak of the devil.
Lin Yue, come sit down.
- What brings you here? - Listen to you.
It's an honor for our small advertising company
to have Chairman Tang visit.
Lin Yue, you two are old classmates. I don't need to make any introductions.
Are you two discussing a project?
Chairman Tang is inspecting us.
He's...
Why?
Because I have paid money.
He paid a great sum.
This is the letter of intent for Chairman Tang's new project with us.
Take a look.
Roll.
Roll... Roll...
Roll?
This word is spoken with a dipping tone.
The original definition from the Kangxi Dictionary
was used to describe continuously flowing water.
"The boundless forest sheds, rustling and swishing."
"The endless river rushes forward, rolling and surging."
From "On High Ground" by poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty.
Later also interpreted as a reprimand, a command to leave immediately.
In English, it is "roll away."
To put it crudely, it is "to get out"!
From a psychological standpoint
if a man tells a woman to get out
it's usually because the woman did something terrible
and should leave immediately.
If a woman says it to a man
in most cases, the woman is acting spoiled.
In such a case, not only should he not leave
he should even shamelessly pester her and refuse to leave!
However, if a man says it to another man
Freud believes the one who said it has gone mad.
That's because he feels pressured
so he chooses to instinctively nip the problem in the bud.
When the other man approaches him, he feels threatened and scared.
He doesn't feel hate at this moment.
That's because the other man is too formidable.
He truly does feel scared.
In any case, you can't go wrong listening to Freud.
Don't tell people to get rolling all the time.
It'll easily expose your weaknesses.
Think about it carefully. Don't rush.
F... Freud?
What?
You're investors of the free port in Sanya?
We have some shares.
You're giving us the entire year's advertisements?
As well as two promotional videos.
One will be one minute long, the other will be 30 seconds long.
Tang, why haven't you discussed such a major project with me beforehand?
I've been busy with the game release
so I haven't been involved with matters over in Sanya.
Two days ago, we had a board meeting
and we felt the companies who wanted to work with us weren't reliable.
That's why I came to seek you out.
Lin Yue, I'm leaving this to you.
Hand over all your current projects to the others today.
Starting tomorrow, focus solely on this project.
I don't have an understanding of this project's specifics yet.
I think it'd be--
Then proactively communicate with Chairman Tang.
Given your relationship, that shouldn't be difficult.
Why did I say that?
Uncle, what are you doing?
Nothing, just taking a look. What's in there?
This is for the new game's software development manager.
Renovations have just been completed.
Who's the manager?
Why are you nosy?
I'm just in charge of the renovations. I don't know anything else.
Let me go inside for a look.
No looking. I'm responsible for this area. Don't mess anything up.
What would I mess up? I'm just taking a look.
No, not even a look is allowed.
Could it be that you received a bribe and this is actually a poorly built job?
Poorly built job?
Have a look, then! I have nothing to hide.
- Just a look. - Just one look.
Hurry up.
We'll communicate.
Yes, communicate.
That's the way. Right away!
Let's eat while we talk. Come, lunch is on me.
Look at my bad memory.
I have a meeting at noon with the municipal committee.
Government officials are not to be offended.
Chairman Tang, why don't you let Manager Lin entertain you first?
I'll come later and drink and sing with you.
Sure, that's a great suggestion.
Lin Yue, I'm leaving Chairman Tang in your hands.
- Be sure to entertain him well. - Okay.
Shall we go?
- I'll be leaving now. - Okay, have a good time.
Quickly, quickly!
This was all renovated according to CEO Zhai's orders.
He said that in the next few months or even years, this manager may likely...
be a permanent resident of this company
so this office must be cozy, livable, and have food and drinks.
What do you think?
My work is not bad, right?
Not bad.
Get up! Don't sit in the chair! Get up!
It won't break.
Did you buy this furniture from my classmate?
I got a 30 percent discount with your connection.
30 percent discount?
He told me it'll be a 70 percent discount!
Don't worry, I'll make him buy a perfume for you with the price difference.
No, that's fine. Forget about the perfume.
If you really want what's good for me, you can leave now.
All the good I did for you was in vain.
I understand. I'll leave.
No, no! It wasn't in vain!
Uncle, am I an ungrateful person?
No, I understand. I shouldn't be here.
Uncle, come here.
I'm serious. I remember all the things you've done for me.
When CEO Zhai wanted floral tea but I served him green tea
you took the blame for me.
When I was late, you did all my work and let me take over when I arrived. Right?
However, you know I'm just a lowly employee.
This job is very important to me.
Yes, yes, I know. All right, I was just messing with you.
I've taken my look. Let's go.
This place has quite the ambience.
What ambience?
If my boss finds out I treated you to takeout food
he'd scold me for being inappropriate.
That's not right. He should praise you. You saved him money.
If I had an employee like you, I'd wake up at night, laughing with joy.
Drop it.
When I was looking for a job and went to an interview at your company
you said you wouldn't hire me, no matter what.
You said with my temper, I wouldn't be your assistant
but more like your boss.
What did I have back then? A basement and three and a half men.
When the company was first established
I told them if they worked 10 years with me
I guaranteed they would each be able to earn at least 10 million yuan a year.
Regardless of where they went later
they would definitely be the top managers in the country.
However, I remember someone later left.
Two people left and they even said I was a liar.
I was the only one left, a general without an army
and a part-time accountant.
Those years were difficult.
I really didn't dare let you suffer with me.
Am I someone who is afraid of hardship?
You aren't.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have stayed with Ding for so many years.
Of course you did it for love. You suffered the necessary hardships.
We're talking about business now. That's completely different.
Back then, I wouldn't let you be my partner.
First, I really was afraid you'd suffer with me.
Second, I always thought
it'd be such a waste of your talent to be my assistant.
You're a woman who can accomplish great things.
Forget it.
The lofty aspirations I had when I was younger
have long been worn down by life.
What great things can I accomplish today?
I already feel content with having a house of my own.
How is the house coming along? Are you having any difficulties?
How many times have I told you that you must call me if you have a problem?
Stop, stop. Stop right there.
There are no problems.
Ding can solve them all.
Tang, let's talk about the Sanya project.
I have four questions for you.
After you answer them, I'll decide whether I want to take on this project.
Your boss has already accepted the project.
Do you know how much I pay him every year in advertising costs?
Do you know what the budget is?
I don't need to know. You've always been generous with money.
However, if I am to oversee this project
I need to know if I'm capable of doing a good job.
Even if you throw away your money, you should get something in return.
All right. First question.
The first question.
Why did you throw such a big project at our company?
You must know we're just
a company that completes a dozen or so small advertisements a year.
Do you have some personal motive for doing this?
She said it so fast. Did you memorize it?
You're here. Do I even need to memorize it?
I have it memorized. Whoever remembers it gets it.
No, no!
How can you be like this? A man shouldn't steal his buddy's woman.
Steal your woman?
She didn't accept you. She's not your woman.
Spit it out.
Give the chance to me, the one with the better chance at winning her!
Say it!
Okay, I'll say it!
12678931.
- What is it? - 12678931.
12678931.
Are you Lin Yue?
Yes. Which one are you from the dance today?
The one you will fall in love with.
Lin Yue, personal motive?
You're asking me that?
That's what I'm asking.
Please answer.
Then listen carefully.
Of course I do.
I rejected so many of the country's top AAAA major advertising agencies
and tossed such a big piece of pie to you guys.
It's because of you.
Because of me, why?
Do you...
want me to repay you in some way?
You do want me to repay you, don't you?
Yes.
I do.
[Enter wifi password]
Hello?
I'm at home.
Don't ask.
Everything that I want to use today seems to have some superpower.
They break as soon as I want to use them.
I'm not going to work today.
I'm working on the new menu at home.
If Chairman Zhai wants to see me, just help me out.
Thank you. Bye.
[Loading]
Why is the internet speed so slow?
That can't be.
[Attention: An unknown user is sharing your connection!]
Someone's stealing my wifi? Despicable.
How come it's still so weak?
Strange. I even have to squat?
Wow! It's so strong now!
The project still isn't complete!
What stage are we at with the demolition?
Do you all still want your jobs?
You're all giving me a headache!
Xiao Li!
I've been in there for two hours being lectured.
A while back, when I asked you to handle remodeling issues in Old Town district
you clearly performed very well.
I'm sorry, Director.
I've been distracted by some things happening at home.
I'll handle it right now, okay?
Xiao Li.
You've performed well ever since you joined our department.
Out of the young ones here, you're considered one of the best.
That's why I handed you such a big project.
Don't fall short of my expectations of you!
Director, I definitely won't.
Get it done quickly.
Let me know when you're done.
Okay, Director. Don't worry.
Hey, it's me.
What?
Where's my mom?
How could she suddenly be missing?
I don't know either. She went missing in the span of a moment.
I thought she went to see you.
Dong Jia Xin, did you bully my mom again?
I didn't!
I just wanted to get a treatment done
and then said the products she brought were too low-end.
They really were low-end!
My mom just got out of the hospital and is in weak health.
How could you talk to her with that attitude?
I was just telling it as it is.
I'm her boss. I can't even criticize her a little?
- You no longer are. - Dong Ye?
Mom?
[Successfully sent]
Done!
Can I scold you now?
You don't need to. I'll do it myself.
I'm sorry.
I express my sincerest apologies for my despicable behavior.
Forget it. Using my wifi isn't anything serious.
But next time, please knock on my door and let me know. Is that too difficult?
Not at all. You have high morals, but I won't freeload your wifi.
Don't hesitate to tell me if you need anything.
I'm not being conceited, but what would I need your help with?
Unless...
Well? It's cleared, isn't it?
Wow! So clear! The clearest in all history!
I've hired so many repairmen before. How come none have been as able as you?
Of course.
I've been married to my wife for 10 years.
Whenever anything broke down, we've never had to hire anybody to fix it.
Does it sound like I'm bragging?
Of course not! It's the truth!
If I didn't see it for myself, I wouldn't have believed you!
However, I don't really believe you if you say you can fix anything.
After all, some household electronics require professional knowledge
such as washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves, and such.
I can fix those too. They're not a problem.
Enough, enough. If you keep going, it'll be over the top.
If you keep going, I'd let you try.
Fine, I'll try! Who's afraid?
What's broken? Come on, tell me.
I just went out to buy
some high-end skincare products.
It was my fault.
I didn't tell Ms. Dong before I left.
It was my fault.
Mom, you're not at fault.
It's the woman who is immature.
Mom, don't do this job anymore.
Let's stay at An Qing Huan's place for the time being, okay?
Don't work anymore. Let's move you to An Qing Huan's place right now.
- I'll look for a house. Okay? - I'm doing great here.
Ms. Dong is a good boss.
She pays me a salary and lets me live in such a big room.
I must repay her kindness.
What do you have to repay?
She nearly had you killed before!
I even want to kill her for bullying you!
Ms. Dong, go get ready.
We can start your treatment very soon.
Oh, okay.
Mom, I'm begging you. Don't go.
No. I have to work now.
Oh, right.
Help me buy this and deliver it here.
- What is this? - See for yourself.
[Spa Massage Table Product Manual]
Mom! You're even making me buy something for her?
Done.
- Ding Ren Jian. - Thank you.
Your wife is so blessed.
With you at home, all things can be fixed.
You're the legendary jack of all trades!
Don't praise me anymore.
I know this was all an act.
You don't have to go back to the office?
I'm working from home today.
Since you helped me out so much, I should at least treat you to a meal.
What do you want to eat?
Say, I really am hungry.
Anything is fine?
Yes, I'm paying.
Then...
Then, let's have...
What?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Hey, explain yourself. Why were you looking at me like that?
Ding Ren Jian!
I'm so full.
You're incredible.
I never expected every single item to taste so good.
Of course. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
Those small shops are all along public transit routes.
How did you discover them?
It's a long story.
Back in the day, I was a sales representative selling computers.
Every day, I had to frequent high-end commercial buildings
above every subway station.
The food there is as unsavory as you can imagine.
That's why--
It's mainly because it was expensive, right?
Unpalatable and expensive.
That's why I unearthed all these hidden gems from the nooks and crannies.
Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm amazing?
I think you look just like those uncles who used to sell computers back then.
Is there a look to it?
All right. You've eaten enough, right?
I'm leaving now.
Oh, right. This is for you.
The box is a bit hot. Hold onto it with this.
What? You think it looks tacky?
It's better than burning your hand
and having to buy honey or cream to soothe it.
See you next time.
Ding Ren Jian, wait!
What now?
I have a request to make of you, but you must agree to it.
Aside from asking me to marry you, everything else is up for discussion.
You're such a foodie.
I want to ask you to help me design my restaurant's menu.
I'm really not joking with you.
I've racked my brains and still haven't been able to come up with a new menu.
I think I'm too limited to high-end ingredients.
But you're different!
The food you showed me today was so delicious!
Trust me. You will be able to help me a great deal.
Consider being my assistant.
Stop it already. We're in completely different industries.
How can I move from the currently most popular IT profession
to the restaurant profession?
Besides, it's not like I don't have a job. You know my boss as well.
Is it appropriate to be poaching me from him?
Your boss doesn't appreciate you. He even bullies you all day.
Did he tell you to get lost today?
I get mad just thinking about it.
That's a display of inferiority.
It's because he envies me for being more capable than he is.
Moreover, he pays me a salary.
I can pay you too.
That's enough! I would never do something so treacherous!
I can pay you even more!
Even more, you say?
Double. Come, let's shake on it.
No. I just wanted to know what my current worth is.
How can that be?
If you had offered such terms before today
I would have readily agreed.
But things are different now. My chance is soon approaching.
My luck will be changing for the better soon!
You're turning down money?
Ding Ren Jian, you've improved.
Don't come begging me later.
I'm leaving.
I'm really leaving!
Ding Ren Jian, I'm just kidding!
How old are you? Why are you so hard to get along with?
It's not every day that I go begging others!
Let's talk about it.
Busy? Let's talk.
Where are you?
In bed.
Want to video chat?
Is this some sort of hint?
It's what you make of it.
Why are you suddenly taking the initiative?
You were raining blows on me just yesterday
but you're throwing yourself at me today. It's not your style.
It won't be fun if you can guess everything.
That's true.
Uh... You're not telling me to come over right now, are you?
There's no rush. It's so early. Why don't you meet me later?
Okay. Where do you want to go?
Where were you originally planning on going?
I was planning on going to the horse stables
but I think you probably aren't interested.
Okay, the horse stables. See you later.
Ding Ren Jian, you'll be mine!
- Still acting like all that. - I am all that.
Not your first time?
Clearly not.
You must not be a frequent visitor.
Why else would I have not seen you before?
I have to work, little imp.
Who can waste time here every day like you?
Little imp? It sounds better than degenerate.
All right, I'll call you Little Imp from now on.
What will you call me?
I'll call you... Chief.
Chief? Very good. I like it.
- Call me that from now on. - Okay.
Since you're in such good spirits today, why don't we ride for one lap?
Riding for one lap is so boring.
Let's race one lap.
I'll go with what you want. What are the stakes?
If I win, you have to agree to one thing I ask of you.
If you win, I will agree to one thing you ask of me.
Okay.
Don't agree so quickly. Do you want to hear the details?
Go ahead.
If I win, you have to give me someone.
You don't want me, do you?
You don't think you're a prince, do you?
If I win, I want one of your employees.
- Ding Ren Jian. - What?
You want him? Why?
Don't ask. So will you let him go or not?
If you lose, can I ask you for someone too?
Sure. If I lose, I'll be yours.
What are you laughing at?
You really think of yourself as a goddess?
Don't you want me?
I do.
However, I never have to spare such effort when I want a woman.
If I win, you just need to answer one question.
What do you say?
All right, you can ask whatever you want.
For the sake of fairness, I have one more request.
- What? - Let's switch horses.
He really is more of a fool than I thought.
His horse is a purebred while mine is a crossbred.
Even without my skills from all these years of outdoor horse racing
I'd still win.
Idiot.
She even thinks she has gained some advantage.
Chief, make the signal.
Okay.
We'll start on three.
One, two, three.
Hey!
Go!
Come on, man.
What's wrong with you?
Chief, I've reached the finish line in the lead and completed the mission.
Can I pursue you now?
Despicable.
This was a conspiracy.
You two planned together to set me up, didn't you?
That's unrealistic.
How could I plan with a horse? You think too highly of me.
What happened, then? How come it wouldn't move as soon as I got on?
It's clearly a good purebred horse.
Even a purebred horse has times of constipation.
See for yourself.
Constipation?
Aren't you going to admit defeat? Are you going back on your word now?
I've always followed through with what I say and am not a sore loser.
What is your question? Ask me.
Why do you want Ding Ren Jian?
I like him.
You're kidding!
I've always taken relationships seriously and never joke about them.
How is this possible? Him?
So you asked me out today to get closer to him?
That's right. I asked you out because of him.
I asked him to be my assistant, but he rejected me.
That's why I'm about to go crazy thinking about him.
All right, enough.
[In Life and Love]
