[In Life and Love]
[Episode 35]
You're a liar, Master.
I knew he wouldn't come.
In his eyes, I am a failure.
Don't be sad. Go home, take a hot shower, and go to sleep.
Tomorrow is a brand new day.
Leave the rest to me.
I have to think about what you are going to do now.
What's going on, Ms. Dong? You haven't been to dance class in days.
You're the one who dragged me there.
You're a terrible friend.
Friend?
Do you think everybody has as much free time as you do?
If everyone was like you, how would society progress?
I'm busy. You can dance by yourself.
It's not like you're lacking partners.
Go find your other female friends.
Why are you calling me?
I'm hanging up.
Hey! Hello?
Look.
- Dad. - President Shi, when did you get here?
I entered the auditorium an hour before the show started.
Sorry, I bought a ticket with my own money.
Cong Si, it doesn't look like you dance very well.
But, I know you really like doing this.
All right, go wait for me in the car.
I need to speak to Mr. Ding.
You seem to have a lot of free time.
You even have the time to take such nonsense calls.
Your life is quite indulgent. What kind of dance class is this?
Mom, it is currently off-work hours.
I continue to work even after I'm at home because I am dedicated to my work.
I'm not a robot that can work 24 hours a day.
Can't I have my own life and hobbies?
Dong Jia Xin, where should I even begin?
You were given this chance right after you returned from America.
You already have a position of power as a young graduate.
Don't take things for granted.
Mom, I've been wanting to talk to you.
I feel...
I feel I can't bear such a great responsibility.
What are you saying?
Do you know how many people work hard their entire lives
just to be in your position?
Do you know how lucky you are?
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
You haven't even done anything yet
and you're already saying you can't bear the responsibility?
Do you think getting this opportunity was too easy
so you've decided to give it up?
I really am tired.
I can't meet your demands, and I can't make that many decisions.
You're still young.
You're my daughter.
You have a wealth of resources, and you're so smart.
I believe in you.
If you work just a bit harder and more diligently
you'll be able to take over my position very soon.
All right.
Look over the files in the study. We'll discuss them tonight.
That Human Resources guy is paid so well for being so incompetent.
Fire him immediately, okay?
Fire?
Leave?
Get out of here?
No, Mom.
I refuse to be like you.
How am I?
I'm not as cruel as you are.
I acted according to your plans
and stole the restaurant rights from An Qing Huan.
I drove her away using your power.
Yes, I did win
but was it an honorable win?
After that, you forced Uncle Zhai out with Chairman Tang's help.
You left his family in poverty and ruin.
You can enjoy all of this in peace, but I can't--
Shut up! What do you know?
Mr. Ding, you gave me this 20 yuan last time.
Please take it back.
Let me ask you. Do you like money?
Who doesn't like money?
Good.
Then, let's talk about something related to money.
I'm very grateful to you.
After grieving over the loss of a son for such a long time
I suddenly feel like a father again.
You made me remember memories of being happy because of my son's happiness.
All these years, I have been battling in business, seeking fame and riches.
I've been disconnected from these things.
For me and for this family, my eldest son gave up too much.
Before his death, I never asked him what he actually wanted for himself.
I'm very grateful to you
for making me feel compassion again just in the nick of time.
Don't worry.
Even though I know Cong Si might not be cut out to be a dancer
I will support him and give him the chance
to do the things he wants to do.
That's wonderful.
But, next to my son, there is someone I think even more highly of.
It isn't me, is it?
Yes, it's you.
You were able to make an impact on me, a cold-hearted man.
You even made me remember my original aspirations.
Is there anything you can't do?
Mr. Ding, you are the talent I need.
State your price.
You want to hire me?
Of course.
You are welcome at my company anytime.
You can select any position you want.
You can state the salary you want.
I am sincerely inviting you to join my company.
Thank you for recognizing my worth, President Shi.
However, I have to ask that you forgive me for being unappreciative.
I won't be working for anyone else for the rest of my life
because I am going to be my own boss.
If you believe in me, then please give me 10 million yuan.
I will create a miracle in a short amount of time.
Please don't talk to me about core values
because I, Ding Ren Jian, am a core value.
I can make the impossible possible.
But, I will only give you 24 hours to consider this.
I will not wait any longer.
Mom, I've really had enough.
I visited Auntie Zhai a few days ago.
She is sick and can't remember anything clearly.
But, you know what? She can still smile.
I don't know how long it's been since I've seen you smile.
You don't even remember how to smile, do you?
I really don't understand what joy you find
in scheming and competing against others!
I'll tell you what I find joy in.
I delight in competing with others.
This is the way business works. It's a dog-eat-dog world.
I have such a large company and substantial assets.
Don't you think I'm a winner in life?
But, are you happy?
I'm very afraid of becoming a person like you.
Yes, you have power and authority, but you don't have love.
As far back as I can remember, you and Dad have been separated.
You were here fighting for your career and being a successful woman.
My dad was a stay-at-home dad abroad, taking care of me.
I only saw you at Christmas every year.
You felt like a stranger to me.
Do you know why Dad divorced you?
In the past, Dad tolerated you so I could have a complete family.
He sacrificed his own happiness.
Dad had actually been thinking about divorce for a very long time.
He thinks that since I'm an adult now, I can accept it.
That's why he brought it up to you.
I thought you would realize your faults, but you haven't!
He is a coward.
In my eyes, your dad is a coward, a useless person!
Mom.
You think only wealth and your career are important.
But, that's not what I think.
I love living, and I yearn for love.
I want to have a complete and happy life
rather than stay in the office all day, fighting with others.
Even if I were to become queen like this, I wouldn't be happy!
Dong Jia Xin!
You disappoint me so much.
Mom, you have disappointed me too.
If you weren't so selfish
do you think Uncle Zhai's family would be suffering so much?
- Shut up! - You've gone too far!
What do you know?
How dare you?
Now you're even raising your voice at me.
Mom, I don't want to stay by your side anymore.
Zhai Zhi Wei said you would end up all alone.
I said no. No matter what, you are my mother.
But now, I realize that even if you are my mother
I cannot obey you unconditionally or work and live on your terms.
I can't do it!
Sorry, Mom.
- I am leaving you. - How dare you?
Say that again.
I am leaving you, Mom.
I am returning to America to my dad.
You would give up this life I'm giving you?
You're returning to America to live a coward's life like your dad?
You're just like your dad, a useless good-for-nothing!
Rather than be a selfish rich person
I would prefer to be a kindhearted ordinary person.
I'm leaving, Mom.
Stop right there! Get back here!
Mr. Ding Man Yi.
Mr. Ding Man Yi? What are you doing in my room?
Ding Man Yi?
Come out immediately. Don't scare me. Ding Man Yi?
Hey?
- Who is it? - Open up!
Oh my gosh. Why is it him again?
Open the door!
What is it?
Open up, open up!
Open up!
- Jeez, it's... - Open up!
Do you know what time it is?
It's after 1 a.m. What do you want?
- I want to poop. - Poop? Go.
I'm afraid to go by myself. I need someone to come with me.
Go get your dad.
He's sleeping. I can't wake him up.
- So? - Come with me.
You promised my dad you would treat me well. Wait for me outside the door.
Let's go poop.
Are you sleeping?
No, no. I'm not sleeping.
Liar! You're sleeping!
I really didn't fall asleep. Trust me.
How much longer are you going to take?
You've already been in there for 30 minutes. Are you done?
If you fall asleep, I'll tell Dad!
No, not Dad. I'll tell Mom!
I really didn't fall asleep. That's the truth.
Then sing a song for me.
Why should I sing a song for you? I can't sing.
Hurry it up, Mr. Ding Man Yi.
I have a competition tomorrow.
If you don't sing for me, I won't be able to poop.
What song do you want to hear?
My mom sings "Calabash Brothers" for me.
I don't know how to sing "Calabash Brothers."
You don't know it? I don't believe you!
Grandpa, there are demons!
Catch them quickly!
Ding ding dong, ding ding dong, there is a calabash child.
He looks like an invincible robot.
Invincible robot, invincible robot, invincible calabash child.
Mom, it has been a long time since we've had breakfast together.
I'm guessing I'll be eating with you every day in the future.
That would be great. You should've decided this sooner.
You should have moved in with me sooner.
That's not it.
I've been thinking all night.
I came to see you this morning to tell you
Ms. Dong might be returning to America.
- What? - She really didn't tell you?
You two seemed quite close. She didn't tell you?
Oh...
She didn't tell me.
Besides, we're not that close.
She's busy with work and can't tell me everything. It wouldn't be appropriate.
You can make it appropriate. Wouldn't that be proper?
Enough, Mom. Don't try to pair us up. We're different people.
That reasoning is nonsense.
Bring this to her later.
Walnut cookies? Why?
The American girl likes to eat Chinese sweets.
When she's done with these, I'll give her something else.
Cultivating a patriotic sentiment begins with the stomach.
Mom, who likes to eat things like this in this generation?
She's a glutton, you know?
In the end, she'll go back to where she came from.
She can go back to America.
In part, I think she has decided to go back to America because of her mother.
Today's theme is the word "remembrance."
Please make a cake for the one you are thinking of, with this theme in mind.
This round is 90 minutes long.
If you exceed the time limit, you will be disqualified.
Please take note of the time.
The competition officially begins now.
An Qing Huan, I admit you performed very well in the first round.
I even believed for a while that you had the best chance of winning.
However, in the most recent rounds, your performance has been very mediocre.
Look at how distracted you are.
Where is your cake?
What is this?
An Qing Huan, I don't know why you decided to take part in this competition
but the contestants here came with their dreams.
They are putting in their best efforts for their dreams and are hoping to win.
If you also want to win this competition
you better impress me during this qualifying round, okay?
Okay.
Get ready.
Mr. Li, wait here a moment. I'll get Ms. Dong.
Okay, thank you.
What are you doing here?
We're not friends. Isn't it awkward for you to just show up at my house?
You're not the only one who lives here.
If you're willing to give up, I will let your mom stay here.
Vice President Qin, these are two different matters.
I won't let you use the country's land to build an entertainment center.
The Incubation Park I'm making is a response to the nation's call
for the people's innovation and entrepreneurship
to bring more chances to young people.
What I'm doing is taking the right path.
Then, it seems you are the enemy of Zen Corporation.
See yourself out.
I wouldn't be so sure.
We might even be family one day.
You really do have quite an imagination. We will never be family.
I'm looking for Dong Jia Xin.
Why are you looking for my daughter? Are you two close?
She and I are close.
So, shouldn't you know that she already resigned?
She'll be returning to America soon.
Young man, don't stand here imagining your feelings are reciprocated.
Dong Jia Xin was probably forced to resign and return to America.
You don't need to worry about that.
Yes, I will not worry about it.
After seeing so many shams, I really like reality now.
I'm quite happy Jia Xin has resigned.
Shouldn't someone who has forced her own daughter away
be doing some self-reflection?
You're in no position to lecture me.
You're out of line. You're even meddling in our family affairs?
Remember this. With me here, don't even dream of entering the Qin family.
I will never allow my daughter to associate with you in any way.
Stay away from her while you still can.
Ms. Li!
Ms. Li, how many times have I told you not to let any random person in?
Qing Huan, aren't you at the competition? Why are you calling me?
I ruined today's dish.
I'm in the qualifying round now.
If I don't perform well, I will be eliminated.
How is that possible? You're so creative.
You've been prepping for so long. How could you have messed up?
Is it because of Man Yi?
I know it has been inconvenient for you.
Ever since Man Yi came to stay with us, he's been deliberately picking on you.
He seems to want to separate us.
Qing Huan, I want to tell you two things, though.
First, Man Yi is my son.
It's my fault that he has had to grow up in a broken home at such a young age.
I feel quite guilty.
And, you unconditionally accepted him
and have silently shouldered this burden without any complaints.
I have seen all of this.
Why don't I...
send Man Yi to live with my dad until your competition is over?
That's not necessary.
Man Yi is still young. He's just a child.
Why would I take this out on a child?
Besides, I like him quite a lot.
You certainly are the An Qing Huan who is amazing, strong
and unwilling to compromise.
Thank you, my darling.
All right, I need to get back to the competition.
I need to double up my efforts.
Wait for me to return having won first place.
Okay, I'll wait for your triumphant return.
Okay, bye.
We have tasted your dishes and have been wonderfully surprised.
All contestants have shown great improvement.
Today, there was one contestant who rose above all the others.
I can't wait to introduce her to you all.
An Qing Huan, introduce your creation.
My cake is called "Satisfaction Cake."
Out of all of your creations in this competition
this is the dish I am most pleased with.
Each layer is distinct, the cream is mellow, yet rich
and the texture of the cake is soft and fluffy.
If I were to open a restaurant one day
I would want my customers to taste a dessert like this before they left.
It does leave us with great satisfaction and a memorable taste.
Why did you make this kind of cake?
Today's cake theme is "remembrance."
To me, this word means longing, reminiscing, and missing.
This word represents a child I want to take care of.
He can be thought of as my child, too.
He is 6 years old, 140 centimeters tall
has fair skin, a chubby face
and a very cute dimple when he smiles.
He likes to drink milk and eat sweets and eggs.
His favorite pastime is making a mess of the house.
His specialty is bullying me and picking on me.
Nevertheless, I still think he is adorable.
He is a very good child.
He loves to eat cake.
When he is eating cake, he is very well-behaved.
I wanted to make a cake just for him today
so I named it "Satisfaction Cake." (Man Yi means satisfaction.)
It is for him.
Okay.
Congratulations on passing this round.
An Qing Huan, keep up the good work.
Okay, the next contestant to progress to the next round is Zhang Xiao Xiao.
You really are leaving?
Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow.
Then, I'm going to hand in my resignation to Vice President Qin
and go back to work at the salon.
Ms. Gui.
I don't want to leave you.
I don't want you to leave, either.
And, Dong Ye too.
Did he come to see you?
No. You told him I was leaving?
I did. You two seemed to be getting along well.
I think he is just like me and doesn't want you to leave.
Perhaps whether I leave or not isn't that important to him.
It won't affect his life.
Ms. Gui, I like being with Dong Ye.
Dancing.
But, I don't know what he thinks.
Forget it. Let's not talk about this. I'm leaving anyway.
It's that rascal's fault for not making good use of the chance he had.
You are such a nice lady.
He isn't good enough for you.
Ms. Gui, take care of yourself.
I will come back to visit you when I have time.
Okay.
You must come back to visit.
Hello, Ms. Wang? Is something wrong?
Jia Xin, you haven't come to dance in a long time.
Oh, I've been rather busy lately.
Our dance studio's graduation showcase is tomorrow.
Can you make it?
I won't be able to come. I'm returning to America tomorrow.
Is that so?
That's such a shame.
I wish you safe travels, then.
What time is your flight tomorrow?
Seven at night.
You can make it tomorrow morning!
Our showcase starts at 10 a.m. and will be over by 11:30 a.m.
It will start on time.
But, I still have things to do tomorrow.
I need to refund you the course fee.
You have to come sign for it in person, though.
You don't have to.
That won't do. We have a contract.
Even if you return to America, we have to refund you the money.
But, it would be rather troublesome to mail you the documents.
That is troublesome.
How about this? Make time to come in tomorrow morning.
You can see everyone and say goodbye. They all miss you.
- All right. - See you tomorrow.
In the year 2016, Ms. An successfully advanced into the competition finals.
The young master has fallen asleep during the celebration dinner.
Next, we'll interview Ms. An.
Ms. An Qing Huan, please tell us how you feel about winning the award.
Stop filming. I haven't even won an award yet.
If I don't win, won't this be embarrassing?
Why would it be embarrassing?
I'm not just going to film. I'm going to do it for 24 hours.
Do you know what this is called?
This is Ding Ren Jian's lesson on how to be successful, chapter one.
This is the spectacular transformation
of the Entrepreneur Emperor and the Culinary Empress.
I bet Amazon's site would crash if I were to just sell this chapter.
Stop filming.
Why don't you wait until you actually get the 10 million yuan?
I don't believe there's a spendthrift who will give you 10 million yuan.
Take a look.
[Shi Tie Zhu]
You're saying he wants to give you 10 million yuan?
You even told him you were only giving him 24 hours to consider it?
I think I gave him too much time. I'm starting to regret it.
You're talking big talk. Do you know who he is?
- Of course, I do. - He's a celebrity.
He's on Forbes' list.
Money makes the world go round
but money might not be able to buy a successful business opportunity.
Business opportunity?
Let me ask you.
Which part of you is a business opportunity?
Are you going to sell your kidneys or your liver?
- My face. - Do you think you're Brad Pitt?
You'll get the answer to that in 24 hours.
What if he regrets it and gives up on you?
Will you give up on me?
Only if you have a change of heart.
Here.
Chapter two. Culinary Empress confesses to Entrepreneur Emperor.
Who's confessing to you? Shameless.
We can talk after you get that 10 million.
Today, we are filming this video as proof.
As soon as I, Ding Ren Jian, get 10 million yuan
you have to agree to be my wife.
The two of us will stick to each other like glue for the rest of our lives
and remain faithful until death.
You're drunk. You have had too much to drink.
I have drunk a bit too much, but my head is clear.
How does the saying go?
When God closes a door, he opens a window.
Qing Huan.
You are my room's massive floor-to-ceiling window. Okay?
Six, seven, eight.
Three, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Four, two, three, four, five, six, seven, breathe.
- One, two, three, four-- - Miss.
You made it.
- I'm leaving tonight. - All right.
I'll go get the refund form, so you can sign it.
Okay.
Hello. Who is Li Dong Ye?
He isn't here. You can leave that with me.
Okay.
Miss, why did you buy so many things?
Those are Dong Ye's purchases.
He bought a lot of formal attire online, and they're all for women.
Here's another huge delivery today.
Miss, has Dong Ye been coming in to practice lately?
Yes, he's very hardworking.
He also gets along well with others.
A lot of girls want to partner up with him
but he just won't agree.
He practices the male and female moves each day.
I asked him why.
He said he is waiting for a partner.
I wonder who he is waiting for.
This is a busy day before my spectacular transformation.
This is my current office and my coworkers.
Look at them.
Every person is bleary-eyed and drooling.
Over here is my current boss's office.
Genuine leather chair, furniture imported from Italy, and a mac computer!
What will my future office look like?
Genuine leather chair, furniture imported from Italy, and a mac computer!
Why?
Because I, Ding Ren Jian, must not break the custom!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Have a good day.
That was my client just now.
What is a client? A client is our king, our everything!
We must treat them with more warmth than spring.
However, this client is going elsewhere.
But, that isn't important.
What's important is that
my spectacular transformation will happen soon.
Did you just find out or have you known for a while?
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I have two months left.
There are still many things I want to do.
We've beat this before.
This time, I will still find you the best doctors and the best hospital.
This might not be the end.
What is it? Has that woman left?
Now, you want to make up for it?
Is anything else important?
What matters most right now is your life.
It is now time for lunch.
The restaurant I chose must match my future status.
- Hello. - Hello.
Let's look at the menu first. What is there to eat?
Wow, there's pizza, pasta, grilled salmon, and steak.
However, this is the time to lay low, so we have to make do with a compromise.
We'll have...
a free delicious cake!
I'll have this.
Well? Smart, right?
Tang.
I have something to ask of you.
Say it.
Let's get a divorce.
In the beginning, you left me to go to America.
Not being able to marry you was the biggest regret of my life.
All this time, I thought marrying you would make my life perfect.
Besides, you were able to provide a better life for my son.
It seems it was wishful thinking on my part.
I've thought about it.
You have so many lovers.
But, that's a good thing.
After I'm gone, you can still have a new life.
But right now... all I can think about is Man Yi.
In the time I have left...
I want to leave Man Yi with good memories.
What does leaving Man Yi with good memories
have to do with us getting a divorce?
I want to...
send Man Yi to live with Ding Ren Jian.
