[In Life and Love]
[Episode 28]
The stocks aren't up by much
but it does seem to have gone up a bit since yesterday.
It's up? Where?
You look just like a gambler.
Can't you just be content with working a normal job?
If I were 18 years old, I would start all over again, one step at a time.
However, I'm short on time, and the mission is formidable.
Sometimes, you just have to risk it all.
It really has gone up!
Yes, yes, it has gone up, but just by a little bit.
What do you know? Zhai Zhi Wei already said it.
It will take three days to reach its peak value.
At the very least, it has gone up by a little.
The insider information from Zhai Zhi Wei's friend is on the mark!
I just have to wait, and then rake in the money!
When I have the money
my 2.6 million yuan will become 7.8 million yuan.
Then, I'll lend you 2.6 million
and help you become a cunning, online celebrity food critic.
Oh my, you're so good to me.
You still have me on your mind even though you're going to be rich.
I'm really so touched.
However, I still stand by my opinion.
Quit while you're ahead, so you don't lose big.
What are you doing? You're not going to celebrate such good news?
What's worth celebrating?
You can continue dreaming about becoming rich over night.
I still have to go to work tomorrow.
How could I forget about that?
Give me another three days. I will have learned those skills by then.
I'll make the people who bullied you kneel down in front of you and yell out
"Ms. An, we were blind to your greatness! Please forgive us!"
I have a question.
What unrivaled martial arts techniques are you learning?
Our receptionist hasn't worn heels in days, so she will be ready to run.
Why don't you show me a few moves first?
No problem.
18 Dragon-Subduing Palms.
The zenith of masculinity.
The pinnacle of external martial arts.
The techniques may be finite
but each move possesses an overwhelmingly formidable power.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, chief of the Beggars' Sect, Xiao Feng
used this to challenge heroes around the world.
Very few were able to parry just three of his moves.
He dominated at the time.
No one could touch him.
With one palm strike
the opponent would basically die.
That's so ruthless.
I don't want her to die. I just want to teach her a lesson.
That's true. That move could easily hurt her badly.
Then, let's change to something lighter, the type that heals and saves people.
Then...
Yiyang Finger.
The lost martial art handed down through generations of the Duan family of Dali
in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
It was the signature finger technique of Southern Emperor, Reverend Yideng.
It is a counter move to the Toad Skill of Western Venom, Ouyang Feng.
After channeling inner energy
you use the right index finger to attack a pressure point.
The move can be slow or fast.
When slow, it is natural and elegant.
When fast, it is as swift as lightning.
Where you are makes no difference.
When in a ruthless fight with an enemy
you can move in close and lightly hit the enemy's pressure points
or approach from a distance, strike, and retreat.
It is truly a clever move that can subdue an enemy, while protecting oneself.
- And then? - And then, the enemy will faint.
Then, you can do what you want.
Wow, wonderful. Is there anything else?
If one is to talk about the top martial arts
Tai chi must be mentioned.
Taijiquan is reserved and understated
continuous and uninterrupted
uses softness to conquer strength
and alternates between fast and slow moves.
It is a natural and unforced boxing style.
The user's mind, vital energy
form, and spirit
gradually blend together to bring one's body to its highest state.
Moreover, with regards to the demand for cultivating martial arts virtue
while at the same time strengthening the body
the user attains increased self-cultivation
and improved harmony with nature and society.
Basically, the enemy is destroyed in an understated, yet powerful way
never to rise again.
Wow, it sounds impressive.
I have a question.
For these ultimate martial arts you just mentioned
how long would one need to train?
The 18 Dragon-Subduing Palms is an external type of martial art.
One would have to train for at least 10 years.
The Yiyang Finger is an internal martial art.
It would take at least 30 to 50 years.
I see many elderly practicing Tai chi in the park nowadays.
Ding Ren Jian, that will take too long.
How about this?
I have one you can learn in three days.
You'll be able to fight in three days. Do you want to learn it?
Yes! What can be mastered in three days?
Shouldn't we start with the theoretical part first?
You don't need to. You can do this.
Look at him. He looks like he's a great fighter.
You've got this, Ding Ren Jian. Go, go, go!
Go now. You've got this.
I'm going now.
Go for it! You've got this!
Ding Ren Jian? Ding Ren Jian!
Ding Ren Jian, you can do this! Get up and fight!
One, two...
Ding Ren Jian?
You can do this, Ding Ren Jian!
Don't force yourself.
Actually, it's okay if you can't do this fight.
No, I must do this fight.
Don't force yourself.
It's not too late to admit you're weak.
I'm definitely doing this fight.
This is my one chance at a spectacular transformation.
Don't anybody get in my way.
We did a great job completing the canned fish orders.
The goods were delivered without a hitch.
Everybody's efforts were crucial to this.
Good work, everyone.
That's why...
I want everyone to have a good time today.
Come, everyone. Drink to your heart's content today.
Thank you, Boss!
Fill up.
Fill your cups!
Drink more, everyone.
I know you can drink. Show everyone how to drink.
Come, drink!
Xiao An.
- I must drink to you. - Thank you, General Manager.
You contributed the most this time.
I will remember the hard work you put in.
Thank you, General Manager. It was nothing. It was my job.
There are some things I need to say.
I know this was hard for you to take.
When a young person goes to a new workplace
suffering some hardship and difficulty can be beneficial in the future.
Am I right?
I guarantee that as long as you continue to stay with the company
I will not treat you unfairly in the future.
Thank you.
Thank you for your concern.
Actually, I'm doing quite well.
Qing Huan, I really like that about you. You're sensible.
With your qualifications, why do you choose to be a mere assistant?
You are plenty qualified to be my right-hand man.
Your prospects...
General Manager, I'm actually not that ambitious.
I'm already very content being your assistant.
You should leave these things to the ones who are truly capable.
I don't have such abilities.
Young people should set their sights further.
In particular, when someone admires you, it is an opportunity.
You should seize the opportunity. Right?
With that said, it is only possible for these few years.
After these few years
even if you beg me for a chance, I may not even spare you a glance.
- Who is that? - Boss!
Let go!
- Who is that? - What's going on?
Who are you?
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am An Qing Huan's boyfriend, Ding Ren Jian.
Thank you for looking after her.
However, I've heard she has also suffered some injustices.
Today, I saw you take advantage of her. As a man, I truly cannot tolerate that.
If you can't tolerate it, go see your girlfriend about it.
Why are you dragging me around?
Does it have nothing to do with you? Do you not know what you've done?
I came here to see you today, to fight with you.
If I win, you must agree to one thing.
The outfit my girlfriend wore that day was quite expensive.
It was completely soaked.
I'm quite narrow-minded. I bought that outfit for her.
If I win, you have to compensate her for the outfit.
- That's not unreasonable, is it? - Not at all.
I understand now.
First, you want to fight me.
Second, if you win, I have to pay her back for the outfit. Yes?
That's fair. However, I want to add to that.
Do you promise to not call the police after the fight?
Anyone who calls the police is a bastard.
Okay! Hold my jacket! Nobody interfere!
Come on, bro.
Are you going to tolerate this?
Are you going to tolerate it?
Tolerate it or not?
What is he doing?
Is he going to be okay?
That's enough, isn't it?
Tolerate or not?
Tolerate it or not?
Have you hit me enough?
You may not look as tall or as buff as I am
but it's obvious you're a trained fighter.
I would surely have no chance of winning by attacking you directly.
But, I have been studying martial arts novels for the past few days
and concluded with the ultimate art.
Use one's strong points to attack another's weak points
for a sure chance of winning.
I'll attack only after you've exerted all your energy.
I thought you had learned some amazing martial art.
You just let yourself get beaten up. So stupid.
So what? I still didn't let him win.
So what? You've been beaten to a pulp.
Does your heart ache for me?
Whose heart is aching for you? Don't be delusional.
Flatter yourself much?
All right, I'm delusional. Delusional, okay?
What are you doing? Sit down. I need to bandage you up.
I don't care about my face. Why would I care about a bandage?
Look! Tang Xiao Gang has his arms around that woman!
Do you see him?
Tang Xiao Gang!
Wait!
Taxi, hurry it up!
Ding Ren Jian, calm down!
What if it's a misunderstanding? Let's leave first.
It can't be a misunderstanding! They were arm in arm!
Do you think I'm blind and stupid?
So what? How is it your business?
You and Lin Yue are already divorced. This is between her and her husband.
Okay. What will you do if you catch Tang Xiao Gang?
Will you beat him up?
You're right. It won't help if I confront him.
- I have to tell Lin Yue quickly! - No, you can't be the one to tell her.
Why? I thought Tang Xiao Gang really did love her and would give her happiness.
That's why I agreed to the divorce.
I never thought he'd cheat on Lin Yue!
Lin Yue must be told about his true colors!
Have you thought about her feelings?
Okay, go tell her that the man she left her husband for has betrayed her.
Are you saving her from the situation or slapping her in the face?
Then what do I do?
You want me to pretend I didn't see this and continue to let him lie to Lin Yue?
No, but you can't be the one to tell her.
Tell me what to do, then.
I'll take care of it. Stay out of it.
There's something I don't understand.
Why are you the one catching the adulterous husband
for someone else?
Haven't I already told you many times?
I took on the task myself. Of course, I'll need some evidence.
Something's wrong with your logic.
- Are you close with Lin Yue? - I'm doing it for Ding Ren Jian.
You're doing it for him
and helping him break up his ex-wife and her current husband?
- And? - And?
I know it's a bit illogical, but I'm Ding Ren Jian's friend.
I can't just sit by.
I don't like hearing that. What does that mean?
So why is it that during my past breakups
you were hugging and crying with my ex-girlfriends?
You loved them, then left them! How can you even make the comparison?
Ding Ren Jian is a good person.
Hey, hey, hey.
What?
When did it happen?
What? When did what happen?
Spill it.
When did you start liking him?
I don't like him.
What do you mean no? When did it start?
Just... before.
Budapest?
Feelings that bloomed while fighting side by side?
Even later.
The divorce? You had the desire to save him?
Even later.
Then, it must have been that decisive vote.
You are indeed easily touched by a sense of justice.
No, I'm not like that.
It couldn't have been that fight, could it?
- I just think he's quite handsome. - Handsome?
He's the type that looks as ordinary as a country bumpkin at first glance.
On the second glance, he looks better than before.
Keep looking, and he looks more and more pleasing to the eye.
Keep looking, and you'll feel he is indeed worth looking at.
Stop, stop.
I know the type you're talking about. Just like Korean actor Ha Jung Woo.
Yes! He's the same type!
Oh, look at you getting so flustered.
I'm telling you, you're done for. You've fallen for him.
But, I want to ask you something.
Since you like him, why are you helping him get back together with his ex-wife?
- I'm not. - How are you not?
If you show Lin Yue the evidence
after she breaks it off with her husband, who do you think she'll go to?
Ding Ren Jian.
It's not like that.
I just want to help Ding Ren Jian gain some hope.
You have no idea how much he wishes his wife and son would come back to him.
You're doing so much for him. Does he know?
He doesn't.
I'm warning you. Don't tell him.
My mouth is sealed shut.
They're coming out! Quick!
The phone!
- Catch that adulterous pair! - I got it. I got it.
Don't leave.
- Stay with me. - That's enough.
- Go in and get some sleep. - No.
- I got it. - That woman's nothing special.
He has such bad taste. They're hugging and not letting go.
Hugging like this in broad daylight. Aren't they ashamed?
Broad daylight?
Oh my gosh!
Go upstairs. I'm leaving.
Oh no, oh no.
Get down!
I can't. My seat has electric controls.
Did you get them? Did you get photos?
I got them!
You're so awesome!
Yes!
Let's go. Let's go.
Ding Ren Jian will have to praise me this time.
I'm practically a master sleuth.
Hello.
What is it that we had to meet in person to discuss?
It was very rude to ask to see you.
I'll just be direct, then.
There is something I want to tell you.
However, I ask that you believe I'm doing this for your own good.
Tell me.
There are some pictures in this phone, concerning your husband.
If you trust in your marriage, then don't look.
You can make the choice.
Why are you doing this? This is very detestable.
Because I want to help someone fight for hope.
Thank you for your good intentions.
I'm sorry. I choose to believe in my husband.
Sorry to waste your efforts.
Ms. Lin.
Have I done the wrong thing?
None of you have done anything wrong.
I'm not looking in the phone because I trust him
but because I am choosing not to look.
You are still very young.
And...
Cherish what you have chosen.
He truly is someone worthy of your trust.
What's going on?
You didn't tell her, did you?
Don't tell her.
- Actually, I-- - I figured it out.
Whether or not Tang Xiao Gang has done something to betray Lin Yue
if I want to win back Lin Yue, it can't be because of Tang Xiao Gang's faults.
It must be because I'm awesome enough.
- It's good that you think that way. - That's exactly what I think!
Because I'm going to be very awesome soon!
The stock that Zhai Zhi Wei had insider information on
will reach its peak very soon.
I'm going to be rich soon!
I can't wait to count my money!
I need to go to bed early today.
I'm going to the brokerage firm to get my money tomorrow.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
I'm going to be rich!
How does it feel to be a saint?
What do you think? I brought two suitcases.
I inquired at the bank just now.
10,000 yuan weighs 105 grams.
My 7.8 million yuan will be over 80 kilograms.
I bought another suitcase in advance.
It has been over half an hour.
If you want to say something or yell at me, go ahead.
It's just two million yuan.
You have the IOU. I'll just earn more money and pay you back.
Do you know how important that two million was to me?
That two million could have turned into over eight million.
Then, I would have had a chance at stealing my wife and son back.
Do you know what I said to Tang Xiao Gang?
I told him with absolute certainty
that it's not the temperament that makes the hero
but rather, the results that make the hero.
What's the result now? I have nothing left.
I'm a poor loser again.
I don't have any chance left.
I know I let you down.
How about this?
I will satisfy any request you have right now.
No matter what it is, if I can do it, I'll agree to it.
Anything I ask?
Yes, that's my word. I promise.
Come with me!
You agreed to this.
No hitting back. Don't forget your promise!
That's the deal!
I'm coming!
Let me tell you.
I'm going to come out with a straight left, then a straight right!
Then a left uppercut, and then a right uppercut!
Then a left hook, and then a right hook!
Scared now? Are you scared?
2.6 million yuan! 2.6 million!
I'm coming!
Didn't we say no hitting back?
It wasn't on purpose. It was just reflex.
Are you okay?
I only lightly pushed you. Do you have to wrap yourself up like this?
Why don't you try a light push from me?
You don't care about me. Why can't I care about myself?
Take it off. It looks terrible.
Get away from me.
It was a conditioned reflex. I couldn't help it.
I apologize. Does that make you happy?
Happy about what? It's 2.6 million!
Give me 2.6 million, and I'll let you beat me up.
Of course, I'm not happy.
I will pay you back everything I owe you.
With what?
It's a lesson, a bloody lesson.
Treasure life. Stay away from gambling.
Do you now understand that you have to live a practical life?
Sorry, I really don't know how to live a practical life.
Do you want me to teach you?
To live like you?
What about me? At least I'm alive!
Staying alive is your top priority, and of the utmost importance! Understand?
Forget it. I'll be nice.
However, before I impart these special skills to you
you should go through some formalities.
I'm not forcing you to kneel down and bow to me
but you should at least take me as your master.
You should show me what you're capable of first.
Are you testing me?
How much money do you have on you?
My credit cards have been frozen.
This is what I got from selling my game card. This is all I have.
2,600 yuan?
- I'm not giving it back. - What are you doing?
You owe me 2.6 million! So what if I take 2,600?
I'm kidding.
It's just 2,600 yuan, a thousandth of my money.
This is plenty already.
Plenty for what? How will my mom and I survive for a month on that?
You can live comfortably off of 2,600 yuan a month.
You might even be able to have abalone.
Stop joking. 2,600 yuan isn't even enough to cover one day of expenses for me.
If I can show you how to survive one month on this 2,600 yuan
without looking wretched while doing so
will you kneel down, kowtow three times, and call me Master?
I will consider it.
A honest man's word...
is as good as his bond.
It really is quite uncomfortable.
Who invented this?
It doesn't even help. It still hurts.
- Keep this safe. - What is this?
It's your car key from now on.
Yikatong? (Public transit smart card)
The bus is here.
There are so many people. Let's wait for the next one.
We already let three buses pass. This is how Beijing public transportation is.
Get used to it. Come on.
No, no. I really can't do this.
The minimum distance to others that I can tolerate is 10 centimeters.
Any closer, and I'll have an allergic reaction.
Allergic reaction, you say?
I thought that might be the case.
Look. Allergy relief medication.
Let's go.
Ding Ren Jian, move back. You're squishing me.
Do you think I want to be close to you?
My feet are practically off the floor.
At least your feet are on the floor.
Sorry.
Do you have painkillers?
Everything.
Want to sit?
I only sit with beautiful girls.
Your loss. I'll sit.
Gosh, how much does his head weigh?
Look how nice my hair is today.
Oh, where did you get that done? How much was it?
Not much. Just 200 yuan.
Look at my lipstick. Isn't it a pretty color?
Hey handsome, does my lipstick look nice?
What do you think of my haircut?
Good... good.
You're so darn handsome!
Can't stand it anymore? I told you to sit.
Hey, do you take this every day?
Yes. Isn't it nice?
There's air conditioning in the summer and human body warmers in the winter.
And it isn't lonely with so many people on the bus.
Do not machine wash.
Dry clean only.
Do all these clothes have to be dry cleaned?
Isn't there anything in this closet that costs less than 1000 yuan?
How can you even wear something like that?
Why are you locking my closet?
Not just your closet, but your shoe drawer too.
If you want to learn how to live through hard times
you'll have to start with your clothes.
What am I going to wear?
[Jaw-dropping Price! 6 for 100 yuan]
Hurry up and pick six.
No way.
You want me to pick six of these? I can't even pick half of one.
If you want to save money
you have to eliminate all the clothes that need dry cleaning or maintenance.
You have just over 2,000 yuan a month. That's not even enough to wash one shirt.
What will you and your mom eat and drink?
Be quick.
Look, this is 100 percent cotton. It's sweat absorbent and breathable.
When it's worn out, you can cut it up and use it as rags.
Recycle and reuse is the true essence of saving money.
Hurry up.
This one looks nice!
You have to choose 6 for it to be 100 yuan.
Otherwise, it will cost 20 yuan each. That wouldn't be worth it. Hurry up.
[Convenient Produce Market]
Grocery shopping savings tip number one!
The clothes make the man. What you wear is very important.
If you don't want to be ripped off by the stall owners
a suit is a big no!
Briefcase? No, no, no!
What you need is a t-shirt.
Very good.
Casual pants? Perfect.
As well as... flip-flops and an environmentally friendly bag.
Savings tip number two! Time is money!
In the morning
there is a dense mass of aunties and uncles. No way.
Produce is expensive in the afternoon. Pass!
The best time is half an hour before the market closes.
Few customers equals cheaper prices.
Easier to bargain.
Savings tip number three!
Look.
Look at the produce seller
to determine the quality of the produce.
When you see one dozing off or in low spirits
then either the produce is bad
or the seller engages in dishonest business practices.
Reject!
Young man, look. My cucumbers, tomatoes, winter melon, and pumpkins are all fresh.
- Come look. - There are some sellers
who spray water on their produce
to give them the appearance of freshness.
Pass!
Young man, pick something. I guarantee they're all fresh.
Some sellers tie their produce with long, thick rope to increase the weight.
A firm pass on those!
What would you like? What vegetables are you looking for?
What kind of seller is trustworthy?
A good seller cares about his business, will take good care of his chopping board
and is more inclined to earn money.
Mister, what would you like?
- Uh... - Hold on.
Do you know how to pick produce?
For example, tomatoes cannot be too firm, too soft
too green, or too red.
Is this okay or not?
Boss, two tomatoes.
Okay.
Potatoes can't be green or have sprouts.
Too big, and its shredded potatoes will be too long.
Too small, and it won't be big enough to shred.
This... or this?
- Boss, two potatoes as well. - Okay.
Leafy vegetables can't be yellow, old, or have dry roots.
The leaves are green enough, and the roots are wet enough.
It doesn't look old, I guess.
- Boss, this celery as well. - Okay.
For shiitake mushrooms, the cap must be fleshy and plump.
It must be sizable and glossy to indicate good water content.
Boss, two shiitake mushrooms as well.
These aren't shiitake mushrooms. They're king oyster mushrooms.
- Oh... Anyway, I'll take two. - Okay.
Oops, I forgot to tell you to ask for the price.
But, it doesn't matter.
When he tells you the total, subtract a third, and state your price.
Boss, how much is it?
The potatoes are 3.5 yuan, tomatoes are 8.3 yuan
celery is 5.3 yuan, and the king oyster mushrooms are 13 yuan.
That comes out to 30 yuan even.
20 yuan.
Of course, he'll say...
I really can't do 20 yuan. That's even lower than at cost.
Just put down the items, and turn around to leave.
- I don't want them, then. - He'll definitely call you back.
Come back, come back!
It's almost closing time. I'll give it to you.
Here you go. Thank you.
As for spareribs, pick out the most expensive and buy it.
- The most expensive? - Don't say anything. Buy it.
You can get by with cheap meat.
But your mom? No way!
Boss, spareribs. The most expensive ones.
Okay!
Did you think that was the last of the savings tips?
Wrong! You must be afflicted with late-stage immaturity cancer.
A free bus runs between our microdistrict and the produce market.
You have about...
one minute to race to the bus stop at the market entrance.
Run quickly! Good luck!
We're not eating those today?
That's one week's worth of food.
How is that possible?
In the past, we had more than this for just one dinner at home.
In the past, right?
Other than that bowl of small fish for dinner
I don't see any meat.
How will I last through the night?
If you get hungry in the middle of the night
then eat this.
What is that?
Hardtack. Here, try it.
Is it good?
- No. - That's perfect.
This taste will motivate you to pull yourself out of this predicament.
It's the most motivating food I have eaten.
Here, eat another bite.
A big bite.
Still hungry?
Do you still feel hungry when you think about this?
Yes. It's not meat.
I've now taught you what transportation to use
what clothes to wear, and what to eat.
Now comes the most important lesson.
How to save money when you're at home.
I... I'm not spending money when I don't go out.
What else could I save?
You're absolutely wrong there.
When you don't go out
the water, electricity, and gas fees, as well as all sorts of daily expenses
all cost money.
If you don't account for these carefully
they can run up into the hundreds, even over a thousand yuan.
So, if you want to save money, you must start at home.
I never knew... staying at home cost money.
What did you think?
Everything I just mentioned came in a gust of wind?
God gave me these tips for free?
First, you must make it a habit to turn off lights.
Don't turn on lights you don't need. Change all bulbs to energy-saving bulbs.
Other than appliances that must stay on, like the refrigerator or water heater
leave everything else off if possible.
There's more. Follow me.
Turn off your phone's 4G data.
If you want to download a movie or novel, or load a web page
wait until you go somewhere with free wifi
and download everything at once.
I've said all I needed to say. Understand everything?
If I have to live like this for the rest of my life, I would rather die.
- I've lived this way my whole life. - So?
So, I've taught you everything you need
to help you get through these darkest times.
The rest is up to you.
Hello?
