[Episode 30]
The... the nuts are a bit dry.
If they're dry, don't eat them.
No, uh...
The nuts are dry, so it's best to eat them with yogurt or fruit juice.
Then it won't be so unhealthy.
I got it. Thanks.
Do you like me?
It's not that I like you.
I love you.
Ding Ren Jian, you scoundrel.
What do you actually want? Can you tell her clearly?
You can't keep stringing her along.
You're just a divorced, penniless, secondhand budget husband!
Didn't you say you were going to steal your son back
and put your family back together?
She's young and beautiful with unlimited prospects.
You can't hold her back! You know?
Yes, I should make things clear with her.
But... do you really not like her?
Did you forget your keys?
Ding Ren Jian, come here. I have questions for you.
What are you doing? Just talk it out. Don't get physical.
Ding Ren Jian, did you kiss An Qing Huan?
You'd better not tell me that you two are just normal friends!
I didn't say that.
At first, we still could've been normal friends
but we've kissed now, so we can't be normal friends anymore.
Good. It's good you acknowledge that.
So what are you planning to do now?
Do you want to kiss, wipe it off, and leave?
Or, do you want to be her man?
I was just about to talk to her about this.
I was tossing and turning in bed all night thinking about this.
Out of all the things I shouldn't have done
the worst was kissing her on impulse.
But I couldn't help it. Think about the situation.
I fell from so high up. That was just like dying.
It was like coming back from the dead.
Think about it. You fell to the ground and realized you weren't dead.
Then such a pretty lady comes towards you
crying and asking if you're hurt.
Any man would commit such a mistake.
Mistake, you say?
An Qing Huan! Come in here!
Did you hear that?
He said it was a mistake.
What did I tell you?
- I'll tell you what a mistake is! - I'll punch you if you touch him!
An Qing Huan, move aside.
I won't accept this kind of irresponsible wuss.
- What are you doing? - I do.
Thank you for bringing me home.
Thank you for listening to me complain all night.
Thank you for teaching him a lesson for my sake. You may leave now.
Okay. You want me to leave?
I can leave.
But I give you a word of advice.
Don't make the same mistake you did before, okay?
You've already lost a great chance to start over because of him.
Don't hold yourself back.
I understood everything.
Understood what?
You said kissing me was a mistake.
Yes. Stop right there.
I, Ding Ren Jian, have no car, no house, and no savings.
I'm just a telephone operator for a recruitment agency.
I'm divorced and have a child.
You are young and beautiful, smart and capable
carefree and generous, and strong and resolute.
You're just better than me in every aspect.
An ordinary man like me kissed a goddess like you.
If that's not a mistake, what is it?
I, An Qing Huan...
have a house, a car, and savings.
I can get a decent job at any moment.
I've never been married, but I've dated before.
I'm young and beautiful, smart and capable
carefree and generous, and strong and resolute.
You say kissing me was a mistake. Now, I'll tell you...
I made an even bigger mistake.
Because I fell in love with you.
No reason, no right or wrong.
There are two ways to deal with a mistake.
One way is to amend it.
There is also another way.
The other way is to make the best of a mistake.
I've already died once. I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
What about you?
You've been sitting here for half an hour already.
Tell us what's wrong. Why are you here to see us?
Are you a man? Tell us already.
Are you here to borrow money?
I'll put this out there first. I don't have any.
I also speak for her. She doesn't have any and won't lend you any anyway.
You can spend lavishly when you're wealthy.
However, you can't grow money with money when you're poor.
I'm not thinking about borrowing money.
I want you two to help me with something.
My mom is sick.
It's bitter.
It's so bitter!
Considering your mother's overall condition
our preliminary diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease.
At the moment, her condition is still stable.
However, it could worsen at any time.
You need to know there is no cure for Alzheimer's.
The only thing you can do now
is make sure your mother lives every day to its best
and retains all of the wonderful memories.
It's not for her, but for yourself.
I'm not drinking it.
- Mom, one last sip. - What about candy?
- You'll get it after you drink this. - More candy after drinking it.
Candy first. I'll drink it after.
I'll give it to you afterwards.
It's so bitter! Candy, quick!
Quick, quick! Candy!
- Candy's coming. - It's so bitter.
Here's candy.
Candy!
It's sweet.
It's my dad's 50th birthday next month.
My mom wants to throw a decent birthday party for him.
As her son, I hope to satisfy her.
We will try our best.
If it will make Auntie happy, we'll do it.
You should've said you weren't here to borrow money. What do you want us to do?
First, I must bring my mom back to our house for this birthday.
Leave that to me.
It's just for one night.
If Auntie is happy, we'll all be happy.
Second, my mom wants to give my dad a present.
Leave that to me! I just received my commission.
Tell me what Auntie wants to give Uncle.
This watch.
Wow, this watch is beautiful.
It must not be cheap.
Let me see.
It looks very nice.
Don't worry. Leave it to Ding Ren Jian. Didn't he say he had this?
- Really? - Yes!
Look at him. He's already thinking about it.
Don't worry. We'll do our best to help.
Ding Ren Jian said he'll take care of it.
Bye.
Ding Ren Jian?
What are you doing?
I need to cool down.
What for?
Do you know how much that watch costs? It's expensive, you know?
I know, I heard.
I'm just a regular telephone operator at a recruitment agency.
I earn a few thousand yuan a month. Why would you think I can do this?
Because you're Ding Ren Jian.
In my mind, you're a man who can create miracles.
All right.
This man who can create miracles needs a hug right now.
You agreed so readily just now.
You're so manly.
All right, I promise you.
Not only am I going to create this miracle
I'm going to create many more miracles.
- Do you believe me? - I do.
This is what's good about you. You believe whatever I say.
That's because I know you won't lie to me.
Yes, this is the foundation to every relationship. There can't be lies.
So... I want to ask you a question.
You have to answer me honestly.
Ask away.
Um...
There's nothing going on between you and Zhai Zhi Wei, right?
What do you mean by this?
Not much. It's just a simple question. You just need to say yes or no.
He went all out pursuing you and he hasn't said he's given up.
If not for what happened to his family, he would be a formidable competitor now.
Can you say you never felt anything for him?
Sorry, no comment.
Hey, so do you have feelings for him or not?
Your mood changes so quickly!
So is there something going on or not? You...
Mom, are you looking at pictures?
Look.
Zhi Wei, I find it so odd.
I've looked through this several times today.
Look at our family photos when you were young.
The three of us took so many photos together.
How come there aren't any now?
Look through this.
We don't have any more family photos from after you grew up.
Mom, did you miss something?
Look at this one. I was quite chubby as a baby.
Yes, you were so fun to play with.
You were fair and chubby.
But now, you're even more handsome.
That's right.
Oh, right. How can we not have any family photos?
How about this? Call your dad and tell him to come home.
We need to take a family photo.
There must be one. Go on.
- Call him. - No, that's not necessary.
We do have one. We took one before.
We did?
Yes, we did.
It's in my room. I'll go get it right now. Wait here.
We have one?
Are you playing? Is that fun?
How unambitious.
All you know how to do is play.
How am I to hand over the family business to you?
How can I rest at ease?
Can you build a future by playing games?
Son...
I sent you to America to study hoping that you would one day
be able to bring Zen Corporation's restaurants
to Times Square in New York!
What do you mean it has nothing to do with you?
After I retire
our family business will be handed over to you sooner or later!
What?
Do you plan to keep playing video games, skateboarding
and playing in Times Square?
Look at you!
Why do you only play games, race cars, skateboard, and dance?
Can't you set your mind to working on something serious?
Why can't I understand you young people?
I struggled to build my business one meal at a time.
Now look at you!
Since you returned home, have you done one thing to please me?
You... Of course you don't understand young people.
Young people nowadays get things done by playing and monkeying around.
You need to learn to think in a different way.
You're old and outdated now. Right?
You're even...
Mom, look. This is the picture.
Yes, yes! It's this family photo!
Me, your dad, and you.
It's wonderful!
My son is so handsome, just like his father.
Your father is also very good-looking here.
Zhi Wei, don't the three of us look so nice together?
Zhi Wei, when was this taken?
Do you remember when?
It... was in the summer.
Summer?
Oh, yes, yes. I think I remember.
It was very hot that day, wasn't it?
Your dad wouldn't sit down. I had to push him down.
Look, look.
Look at your father. And you.
You two look exactly the same.
Let me tell you, when your father was young, he was quite dashing.
Look how happy the three of us are.
We are a happy family.
This is a very good picture.
I'll have to print this out and add it to the photo album.
It's such a wonderful family photo. The three of us are together.
It's so perfect and blissful.
Ding Ren Jian.
- The manager wants to see you. - Okay.
Say, we look quite similar.
Sit.
Manager, you wanted to see me?
Ding Ren Jian.
Yes. What did you want to see me for?
Someone just sent you an award banner.
Is it the one with the ID name Astro Boy?
Yes.
That was well done.
Employees who earn award banners for the company are good employees.
You flatter me. I actually didn’t do much.
It was part of my job.
You haven't done much? You think you haven't done enough?
Today, I have to tell you I'm deducting your wages.
That means you've been working for free this month.
What?
I won honor for the company and you're deducting my wages?
That's not logical.
Check the bill.
First, if we resolve our client's job search issues within the month
we have to waive the fee for the client.
Who shoulders these losses? Of course they should be deducted from your wages!
I still don't understand. Can you explain in detail?
Let me put it this way. You should drag out your jobs as long as possible.
The more calls you take, the more our company earns.
If you resolve the problem within the month
our company earns nothing.
This loss should certainly be your responsibility.
That's correct, isn't it?
Second, the fees from
the suicide's emergency dispatch and damage to public property
should also be wholly out of your pocket.
That's correct, isn't it?
Third, the online live broadcast that day caused a network crash.
I spent 2,600 yuan to repair that.
That should be deducted from your wages. Isn't that correct?
Going by what you say, not only have I worked for free this month
I even have to pay you over 2,000 yuan?
Why should I?
The latter two I can let pass.
Is it wrong that I work diligently?
What our recruitment agency actually does is
stall for time and tell the client they're not good at anything?
We're the king and they should give us money and beg us for help?
I didn't say that.
You just have a rather sharp perception and came to the conclusion yourself.
I'll have to congratulate you. You have shown improvement.
It seems it's highly possible you could become a good employee
who earns award banners and brings profit to the company.
Congratulations.
[For selfless dedication to others]
[Resignation Letter]
I, Ding Ren Jian
am unfortunate to hold values
that are not in agreement with your company's ideology.
I hereby tender my resignation.
I won't take my wages.
May we never meet again!
Are you the teacher, Mr. Ding Ren Jian?
Don't call me a teacher. That stresses me out. Who are you?
I saw Astro Boy's attempted suicide in a video online.
It's been the hot topic on the forum. Everybody's talking about you.
There's even a forum? What forum?
League of Suicide Jump Enthusiasts.
Wait, there's such a thing? There's even a forum?
How many members are there?
There are usually about 70 to 80 people online on the forum.
There are even more members in total, at least 200 to 300.
There are so many who want to die?
That's a lot of work to save them all.
They all want to jump but don't dare to, so they became enthusiasts.
Your video is nearly a textbook lesson for us in the league.
All of us can recite every word you said to Astro Boy that day.
So, I came here today to tell you...
you're not a teacher.
You're a master! You're a beacon of light!
I'm stunned now.
I was about to resign. How did I become a beacon of light?
No, wait. First tell me what you came to see me for.
I just registered as a member with your company.
My ID name is Cong Si.
What path I take from here on out will be up to you now!
Cong Si, no, don't. Explain yourself first.
What do you want?
I want you to pull me off a building with you too.
What do you think of this place?
Is it sufficient as a venue for your party?
The location is very nice.
However, I just think it's a bit small.
If you make proper arrangements, it shouldn't be a problem.
All right, I'll do this for you.
Since you so strongly recommend it, I'll settle on this.
Remember to tell me in advance how much you want for the venue sponsorship fee.
Let's not talk about these minor fees.
We've known each other for so long and have been friends for years.
Can you help me with a favor?
That is my request.
You're kidding. You want to hold his dad's birthday party here too?
I'd let it slide if he were alive
but the problem is that he's dead.
How can I possibly allow this? That's so inauspicious!
But this used to be their house.
Although the house has already been auctioned off
the new owner is a loyal client of your advertising agency.
When he heard it was your party, he was very willing to offer the place for use.
What harm would it do to let Zhai Zhi Wei pretend to be the owner?
Besides, your company is holding an anniversary celebration
while his is a birthday party.
An anniversary celebration can be considered a birthday party.
We won't cause you any trouble.
It's just to make his mother happy. He'll invite a few friends for drinks.
That's all that will happen.
This isn't completely impossible.
It's just that you need to give me a reason
because when I do things, I only ask one question.
What can I get out of it?
You can have my friendship.
Wait. Why are you helping him so much?
Last time, you recommended him as a male model
and now, you're helping him throw a party so he can be a good son.
Could it be... you two have gotten together?
Oh, please.
He and I are really just good friends.
All right.
Who is it? Who is it?
Where's An Qing Huan?
- An Qing Huan! - What are you doing so late at night?
How come you came over?
Is something wrong with your head? Do you know what your friend said to me?
She said she'd be at this hotel at midnight
and she wants me to give her a surprise.
An Qing Huan, that's so low!
How could you use this method to solve the problem?
I didn't think things would turn out this way.
I just wanted to use what was already available.
My friend's throwing a party. Zhai Zhi Wei also wants to throw a party.
So, let's all have a party.
I wanted to help. I didn't think it would end up like this.
Are you an 18-year-old girl? You just want to help.
Do men and women just help each other?
Yes, yes.
Then... I've done the wrong thing.
What about it? I just have a girl's heart.
I've made a mistake. I admit to it. What can I do now?
The way he looked just now... he'll strangle me to death. What do I do?
It is indeed too dangerous for him to go.
Yes, yes.
I should go.
Go to hell.
Zhai Zhi Wei, do you want to hear my opinion?
I'm all ears.
It's like this. Every person has their core value.
In this world, what do we fight for? For our core values!
Zhai Zhi Wei, tell me what your core values are.
I reviewed your resume just now.
Background.
Father... already deceased.
Financial status.
Debts... too many.
- Individual abilities. - Pending assessment.
So are you two humiliating me now?
No, of course not.
There is one thing of worth that you have that nobody can replace.
Really? I've forgotten what it is. Please remind me.
You're young!
That's not something every person can claim, right?
Most importantly, you're handsome.
- Is being handsome important? - Being handsome is everything!
- I disagree. - Shut up.
So, are you saying I should take this keycard and go there
and sell my body to get what I want?
Is that what you mean?
Am I that kind of person? Am I that kind of person?
Would I do that sort of thing?
Malicious and duplicitous! You truly are...
So why did you want him to take the keycard and see that woman?
I thought the three of us could go together.
The three of us?
Do you think I would do?
How would you know if you don't try?
Zhai Zhi Wei.
How come you're all here?
There are so many people.
What is this?
Who is that?
Hey...
What are you doing?
Sorry.
We came at the appointed time today because we heard
someone wanted a surprise.
On this special day, I, Ding Ren Jian
An Qing Huan
and Zhai Zhi Wei
will bring you this surprise together.
This surprise is...
a joint performance to show you...
love, love...
- What do you mean? - Never-ending love!
My love, love, love for you never ends.
I can love you day by day, month by month, year by year, 'til forever.
So we love, love, love tonight.
I don't want to face it shred by shred, bit by bit, little by little.
My love, love, love for you never ends.
Love has always been this hard!
My love, love, love for you never ends.
I don't want to face it shred by shred, bit by bit, little by little.
Enough!
A surprise.
It is indeed a surprise.
If you two don't mind, could you leave first?
I have a few things I'd like to say to Mr. Zhai Zhi Wei in private.
Sure.
Sorry. The performance was okay, right?
We put our hearts into it. Our love for you never ends.
How unexpected that at such a young age, you could impress me so.
I admire you.
I can do everything I promised you.
However...
what will you repay me with?
Happiness doesn't come only in one form.
- An Qing Huan! - What?
How long do you want to play the heroine?
Are you jealous right now?
I can't be bothered to be.
It's not like you love him.
You just want to satisfy your own needs by saving others.
But by doing this, you'll only increase his misunderstanding and reliance on you!
It doesn't do him any good!
What he needs now is to learn from this, to mature, and to fix his ego problem.
You are jealous.
Fine, I'm jealous. What's so embarrassing about that?
All right, let's go.
Where are we going? Will he be okay on his own?
You underestimate him. Just wait for the show.
Where are we going now?
There are many places to choose from.
Gui Street for hot and spicy crayfish, Sanlitun Road for karaoke
or Wanda Cinema for a midnight showing.
These all require spending money though.
Find a place that doesn't require spending
that I wouldn't mind going to.
Let's walk home to tire your legs out.
I'll draw you a hot bath and give you a massage.
It'll be free! It won't cost a cent!
Good idea. I agree.
He was slow!
Three people!
You know how to do it!
Playing the guitar!
Madame White Snake!
I don't know.
So what do you think? Did you have a good time?
I had so much fun! I'm super happy! Thank you.
It was nothing.
- I'll see you at the party. - Okay.
Mom, Uncle Tang, I'm full. Take your time.
Man Yi, stop playing games. Finish your homework first.
I'll play one level.
No, you can't.
You're not allowed to play anymore. You'll fall behind in class.
You don't have the habit of studying.
We have to change that starting today. Go do your homework.
Have you run into some problem?
No.
You're being overly strict today.
Haven't I always been like this?
Tang.
I still want to send Man Yi to America for school.
How come you suddenly thought of this?
Haven't we talked about this before?
We'll talk about this again when he's a bit older.
You want to move it up?
You don't agree?
How can that be?
Of course I will agree with your request.
And...
Say it.
I plan on setting up a trust fund for Man Yi.
Okay. Do you have any demands on the amount?
It should be enough to support Man Yi through college in America.
No problem.
Eat up.
Here.
Lin Yue, you never used to ask anything of me.
This is good. We're family. I'll have it done.
Man Yi, I want to talk to you about something.
Go ahead.
Your Uncle Tang and I have decided.
When the formalities are done, we'll send you to America for school.
I'm not going! I won't go even if I die!
Listen to me.
I'm not listening! I'm not going to America either!
I've already contacted my college friend.
It's Auntie Su. You've met her before.
When you arrive in America, you'll live at her house.
I will send you there, okay?
Can Dad and Grandpa go too?
They won't be going yet.
When you're in America, Auntie Su will take good care of you.
However, you need to be well-behaved too.
You can't be as naughty as you are at home
so you don't annoy her, okay?
Do I have to go?
I had your Uncle Tang get everything ready.
When you're in America, you'll have to depend on yourself.
Man Yi, you have to live well and study well.
When I have time, I will visit you, okay?
Mom, I don't want to leave you.
I don't want to leave Dad and Grandpa either.
Man Yi, you're a big boy now.
You can't rely on me, your dad, and your grandpa anymore.
[In Life and Love]
