[In Life and Love]
[Episode 36]
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 is 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.
At this time...
I want to give Man Yi a complete family.
Give him a complete family and send him back to Ding Ren Jian?
You mean you want to go back too, don't you?
This is my last hour.
There is still no response on the investment project.
I even told him 24 hours.
I was being cocky, wasn't I?
The terms he proposed were so good.
I could set the terms. I could set the salary.
You just had nothing better to do, did you?
You even recorded videos for an entire day. What was the use?
These aren't the 24 hours before my spectacular transformation.
It's just a regular day.
Hello, this is Star Recruitment Agency.
Are you aware there is a call fee to speak with us?
I accept your terms.
Go on.
I... Of course, I know.
Okay, okay. I know the time and place.
Okay, okay, I know.
I definitely will not be late.
Okay, okay.
Don't worry. I know the time and place. I definitely will not be late.
These clearly are the 24 hours before my spectacular transformation.
It seems I had great foresight.
I recorded this glorious moment of my life.
You're the best.
Ding Ren Jian.
You want to divorce me now, and you still want to go back to him.
Lin Yue, I'm giving you the best life and giving the best future to Ding Man Yi.
But in these last moments of your life
you don't want to stay by my side, and you would rather go back to him.
You left Ding Ren Jian.
Do you think he will still open his door and welcome you home?
Ding Ren Jian isn't like you.
We are different.
Because I won't agree to divorce you.
I won't let you return to Ding Ren Jian's side.
Even if you die...
I will make sure you die by my side.
What are you doing here?
I came to sign paperwork to withdraw from the class.
Did you ask Ms. Wang to call me to come?
No.
Then, why are you here?
I came to see if I would run into you.
You've run into me now.
- What did you want to say? - I love you.
I like you.
I don't want you to leave.
Me too, Dong Ye.
I didn't think...
someone who wouldn't even call to say goodbye would actually like me.
I didn't call to say bye
because I didn't want to have to say bye to you.
Can I kiss you?
You already kissed me. You're still asking?
So... you know what I think.
You also know my feelings.
As for whether or not you decide to leave, I won't force you to do anything.
But, I truly do not want you to go.
If I don't leave, aren't you afraid I'll annoy you?
I'm not afraid of that!
This is the only shortcoming I have.
I'm not afraid of being bothered!
I love my wife very much. Why would I be afraid of being annoyed?
Don't jump to conclusions. I haven't agreed to anything yet.
Oh, sorry.
I'm a blunt man.
I should say girlfriend, right?
No, wait. How do you say it in English?
Oh. Girlfriend.
Will that do?
- I'll allow it. - Okay.
Let's go stuff our faces later!
After that, I'll take my girlfriend home, okay?
No.
I'm not leaving, but that doesn't mean I'm going home.
I'm going to start a new relationship and a new life.
Okay.
Li Dong Ye and Ms. Dong will live a new life together! Okay?
This is you. I'm going to annihilate you in three minutes!
Okay, look. This is you.
I'm going to annihilate you in two minutes.
Let's get started.
One, two, three, start!
Ah, gosh.
No talking.
Didn't we agree on this?
Whoever finishes the hamburger first is the winner, right?
Look, I demolished it. I won.
So, you have to listen to me.
Starting now, you can't talk for 10 minutes, okay?
No going back on your promise.
I can finally have some peace.
I wanted to tell you your phone has an incoming call.
Hello?
Did you get something in your suit pocket?
My suit pocket is still empty.
My bankroller is still in a meeting.
- Are you nervous? - No, I'm not.
I regret not bringing a suitcase.
10 million yuan! What if he gives it to me in cash?
10 million yuan. You're still boasting.
I have to boast about my awesomeness while I still can.
If you really become a multimillionaire, will you not want me anymore?
I have rather weird tastes.
When I'm rich
I will still like someone like you, who often acts foolish and has average looks.
What do you mean average looks? I was the school beauty in middle school.
You must have been in a boys' school.
What did you say?
Wait, wait.
I'll talk to you later.
Where are you going?
I'm going to find my dad.
I told you he has something important to do today.
He told you to stay with me, okay? Be good.
What did you record just now? I saw you filming the whole time.
Ding Man Yi! Ding Man Yi!
Ding Man Yi!
Ding Man Yi! Ding Man Yi! Stop running!
What are you doing? Stop!
It's your fault!
No... this...
How is this my fault? You threw your phone in there.
Your mom and dad are already divorced.
Your dad and I are free to date.
No! If not for you, my dad could still be with my mom!
What do you want to do now? Your phone isn't working now.
Why don't I buy you a new one?
Can you afford it?
This had our family's photos!
It had photos of my mom, dad, and our whole family!
You did this on purpose!
You just don't want me to have a mom and a dad!
Ding Man Yi.
President Shi, Mr. Ding has arrived.
- You made it, Mr. Ding. - Hello, President Shi.
We may have a personal friendship
and you helped me find my son, allowing me to have a family again
but business is business.
What our personal friendship earned you is a chance.
It's not that easy to get money from me.
All right, please elaborate on your core values now
and show me if investing 10 million yuan in you will be worth my while.
But, there's a time limit.
You gave me 24 hours but I can only give you 3 minutes.
Bring me his proposal.
President Shi, I spent a long time writing up this proposal.
Yet, you're only giving me three minutes?
You clearly don't have the time, and you don't seem to want to hear me speak.
It's okay. There are three types of people in this world.
The first kind is intelligent but lazy.
This type of person is suitable to be a commander-in-chief, like you.
They order others around and plan out strategies.
The second type is smart and diligent, suitable to be a general.
They go where they are told and carry out orders well.
Everybody here is that type.
The third type isn't that smart but is very hardworking.
This type of person is suitable to be a solder.
So what are you?
I am a soldier.
Honesty is a good quality.
However, it is not always wise in business.
You may leave now.
You said you would give me three minutes. I have only used one so far.
All right, then.
In the next two minutes, I'll hear what you have to say as a soldier.
In Chinese chess, the soldier must advance one space at a time.
If the soldier is not careful, he can be trampled by the horse
bombed by the cannon, or skewered by the elephant.
However, once the soldier has crossed the river
he is no longer just a soldier.
If he chooses the right path, he can checkmate the general.
I am a soldier that has crossed the river.
This soldier who crossed the river checked you, the general, two days ago.
That is my core value.
What I want to do is to help more soldiers cross the river.
Man Yi, why don't I buy you a new phone now?
What kind of phone do you want?
I'm unemployed and don't have a big budget.
Is this a phone?
Yes, this is both a phone and a watch.
It is very appropriate for children.
It has a press to talk feature, emergency calls
and some built-in games.
It promotes a healthy lifestyle and educates through entertainment.
Most importantly, it has a tracking function.
If your child runs off, the child's precise location can be found
if your phone is paired to the watch.
These functions are terrific.
Look, Man Yi. It's a phone that's like a watch.
No, I mean, a watch that's like a phone. Isn't it cool?
- I'll take this. - Okay, thank you.
By the way, can you help me pair it with my phone?
He's very mischievous and runs off all the time.
- I want to be able to find him. - Okay.
I've been making games for over 10 years.
The company I last worked for closed down after going bankrupt.
Nevertheless, I still want to make games.
What is attractive about this?
This is a nontraditional simulation game.
It is not a real game.
It is a coalition of ordinary people and an online job training center.
It is a meeting place in a parallel universe.
All users can submit real resumes through role-play.
In this virtual world, users can experience
seeking employment, working, being promoted, jumping ship, quitting
and receiving professional awards
and other types of real-life occurrences in one's career.
In addition, we have a platform that provides real job openings.
By successfully leveling up
one can receive a corresponding position in the real world.
You heard me right.
This is a parallel world that lets you find success through playing.
In this parallel world, if you don't know how to cook, you shouldn't be a chef.
It's not about making unpalatable food.
It's the possibility of causing a fire and risking lives.
If you're an architect, you should place the bathroom close to the bedroom
or else lives would be at risk too.
On the day the boss gets a divorce, the employees better not be late
or else lives will be at risk too.
The fascinating feature of this job simulation game is
its ability to compress long-term changes into a short-term experience.
It is too difficult to comprehend
possibilities that occur over 50 or 100 years.
However, if you give users a chance
to experience these long-term changes
in a short amount of time, or even just a few minutes
then they won't have to risk
the consequences of being fired or frozen out to know the truth.
The truth will be right in front of them.
Practice makes perfect is true.
Solely relying on your skills is not enough to get you promoted.
One must also consider relationships with coworkers and the boss.
The start-up period for freelancers is a time of hardship and destitution.
But, if one becomes first-rate
the income and level of freedom are very attractive
compared to other professions.
It's possible that toiling away at a 9-to-5 job your whole life
will not beat that.
But, if you do not possess that kind of natural gift
steadfastly searching for a job that fits you is a safe choice too.
Men and women can subvert the inherent sexism of jobs
and freely choose a profession.
Women can become firefighters or mad scientists
join the army, or discuss politics.
Men can become nannies, stylists, or nurses.
Is this courage possible in the real world?
There is equal pay among employees.
The highly-competent can be promoted quickly and receive raises.
The incompetent can easily be fired.
Everybody is in fair competition.
After getting married, both men and women can take marriage leave.
There are no shortcuts in life
but one doesn't need to waste time with detours.
This gives all ordinary people a chance to meet in a parallel world
find a position of their own
encourage inspiration for entrepreneurship
explore the possibility of venturing
face failure, and try again.
This is what I want to do.
Lastly, I want to conclude with my first experience with this game.
In this game, my name is still Ding Ren Jian.
I wanted to become what I wanted as a child: a musician.
Thus, in the game, I spent all my time
training to reach a master skill level on the guitar and piano.
As a result, Ding Ren Jian died alone in his old age.
What I can take away from this is
I only spent three days time to find out that isn't the life I want.
All right, I'm done. Thank you for your time.
Mom, help me open the door.
All right, we're home.
Come, take a look at our new house.
- Not bad, right? - It's pretty nice.
A buddy of mine left for America not too long after renovations were finished.
I told him he shouldn't let it remain vacant and that we could move in.
We can even help him add some character to the place.
It is very nice.
Let's go take a look upstairs.
Oh, yes. The bedrooms are upstairs.
Mom, let's go check out the upper level.
Okay.
Be careful.
- Isn't it spacious? - It is big enough.
This is the bedroom.
The beds are a bit small
but let's just bear with it for now.
It's all right. It's quite comfortable.
This is a last-minute accommodation. I'm sorry to make you put up with this.
Don't say that, Ms. Gui.
I'm already very grateful you two are taking me in.
You really aren't planning on returning to your own home?
No, I don't. My mom thinks I returned to America.
This isn't a long-term solution.
That's enough, Mom.
While I'm here, she won't be going anywhere else.
All right, Mom. Help me put away the luggage.
We'll go out for dinner later.
- Okay? - All right.
What's over there?
Why did you tell Ms. Gui? I'm so embarrassed.
Isn't it good to tell my mom? She's going to know sooner or later.
What's the matter? Are you backing out now?
No, I'm not. I won't regret it.
Jia Xin, as long as I'm here you aren't allowed to go anywhere else.
You hear me?
Okay.
I had hundreds of photos!
I had been saving them for years.
The photos from every time we went out were saved in there.
Even the photos from our trip to Miyun Reservoir are gone.
There were also my text messages with my friends and with you.
That's enough now. You're going a bit overboard now.
I can just take new photos with you.
Will they be exactly the same?
The weekend begins tomorrow.
I'll take you to Jinhai Lake to fish and take photos. Okay?
- You promise. - I promise.
- Exactly the same? - Exactly the same.
Auntie bought you a watch that you can make calls on.
Why aren't you wearing it?
It's not even a phone!
It's just a lousy watch. Who would even want that?
How is it lousy? It can make calls, tell time, and take photos. That's nice!
- Come out and put it on. - No!
Why not?
Mom said I can't take things from strangers.
Is Auntie a stranger?
- Isn't she? - Of course, she isn't.
After I marry her, she'll also be your mom.
Let him be. If he doesn't want to wear it, that's fine.
If you don't like it, why don't I buy you a phone tomorrow?
- What are you doing? - I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed.
He's been spoiled by his mom. Look at him.
It's okay. He's just a child.
Qing Huan.
If I don't get that 10 million yuan
will you stay with me if I am struggling financially?
I'm not afraid of hardships.
It's just 10 million yuan.
We need to take it slow.
I feel we can lose anything except our ambitions.
You can live here with Man Yi without worrying. This is our home.
With a home, we have peace of mind.
I've already thought about it.
After I win the culinary competition I will be able to find a better job.
Ding Ren Jian, I'll support you.
- You'll support me? - I'll support you!
I tricked you!
I finally had my spectacular transformation!
President Shi gave me 10 million yuan!
You're going to be the wife of the boss of Ding Enterprise.
Every cent I earn will be yours to oversee.
I can be the boss's wife, but I can support myself.
Qing Huan, my best days are coming.
If I didn't have you, I wouldn't have this 10 million yuan.
That's because I knew you could do it.
You're the only one in the world who believes in me.
With you, I have the whole world.
Kiss kiss.
Again.
Are you certain that he really received 10 million yuan?
From what I was told
President Shi only gave him three minutes.
After Ding Ren Jian presented his business idea
President Shi made a decision to collaborate with him on the spot
and they are waiting to sign a contract.
I really have underestimated him.
Chairman Tang, even if Ding Ren Jian was given 10 million yuan
he will spend it all carelessly.
In my opinion, even if he has the money, he may not have a diamond.
Besides, it wouldn't be difficult to con him of that money.
The problem is whether or not he can turn his idea into a reality.
You really cannot be careless about this.
10 million is spare change to us
but to someone like Ding Ren Jian who has never had money before
it is an astronomical amount.
It's probable this astronomical amount
will motivate him or even be the impetus for his complete comeback.
Chairman Tang, should I...
What are you worrying for?
You should know how exciting it is to encounter an opponent in business.
The inexperienced lad Zhai Zhi Wei, the astute and circumspect Zhai Tao
and Qin Zhen with her false bravado...
These players were not worthy opponents.
However, I really never imagined
Ding Ren Jian would one day sit across from me and become my opponent.
All right.
With Ding Ren Jian, this game will go on and become very interesting.
I really never thought highly of him before.
I don't know why.
I really do feel a bit excited now.
Chairman Tang, do you mean we should continue to wait
and see if he can produce any results?
To others, waiting is a form of torture.
But me...
I really look forward to it.
What do you think?
Isn't this car appropriate for taking the whole family out camping on weekends?
- Is it a rental? - What rental?
After leaving President Shi's office yesterday
I went straight to an authorized dealer
and bought this car with the swipe of my card.
Those sales girls insisted on getting my WhatsApp
There's the main point.
You didn't plan on buying it.
After a few words with the ladies, you couldn't resist buying it.
You caught me.
You added them on WhatsApp?
Yes, but I'll delete them if you don't like it.
No, it's okay. Keep them. Chat with the young ladies.
Mom!
What's this?
Mom...
Let's go.
- What's going on? - I don't know.
Didn't I say yesterday
I'd take the three of us to Jinhai Lake to fish and take pictures?
That's what I said, right?
That's what you said, but he didn't understand it that way.
He said exactly the same photos.
Photos of the three of you, not the three of us.
That little brat set me up.
A child can be insensible, but his mom...
Dad, when are we going to leave?
Right away.
Forget it. I won't go. The three of you can go.
No way.
You even missed the last training before the competition, so you could come.
Besides, you're my actual girlfriend now.
Would it make sense for me to take my ex-wife and child out to have fun?
You have to come.
But your ex-wife seems to be sitting in the car and doesn't plan on leaving.
Yes... It wouldn't be right to ask her to leave in front of Man Yi.
It isn't right.
Bear with it this time and come with us.
Next time, I'll definitely go out with you alone.
You can pick the destination, okay?
Okay, the South Pole.
All right, we'll go to the South Pole to see penguins.
Okay, get in.
What's this?
She can't sit there!
Why can't she?
That's Bobby's seat!
Who's Bobby?
Why are you bringing a dog?
It's my friend's.
His whole family is going out, and he asked me to take care of him for a day.
If you're bringing this dog, you can hold it yourself.
No, Bobby has to have his own seat.
If he gets carsick, he'll poop and pee.
If he sits here, where will Auntie An Qing Huan sit?
It's okay. Let Bobby sit there.
I'll take a cab. I don't get carsick.
No, no.
Qing Huan, don't be mad.
I'm not mad. Why would I be mad at a kid?
I guess I'll go catch a cab.
- You're paying. - No problem.
You're too nice.
- Do you adore me? - I prostrate myself in admiration.
I'll wait with you for a cab. Come on.
Have you been well lately?
Yes, pretty good.
Did you bring everything?
Yes. Tents, fishing rods, and barbecue equipment.
I brought everything we need.
This picture was Photoshopped, wasn't it?
Yes, I made it.
I wanted us to wear matching outfits.
Man Yi, look.
This is the shirt that Dad and Auntie made for you.
Put it on later.
I'm not wearing it.
But I want you to.
All right, I'll listen to you and wear it.
Dad, can you drive faster?
At the rate you're going, the sun will have set by the time we get there.
What's the hurry?
I'm driving slowly, so Auntie can catch up to us.
Why don't you speed up a little?
You keep braking. I'm beginning to feel nauseous.
All right.
Mister, can you please drive faster and catch up to the silver car up ahead?
Thank you.
That's an all-terrain SUV.
It has a sturdy chassis. It's comfortable to sit in and drive.
How can this car compare?
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Miss, stop talking on the phone. Help me change the tire.
All right, okay.
Excuse me.
Why didn't you call me to tell me the taxi broke down?
It's okay. It was no big deal.
I know how to change a tire. It's my specialty.
Dad, this is for you.
This is yours.
- Thank you. - Wow!
Wow, you're already wearing it? It looks so nice.
I'll put it on too.
What's wrong?
What is this?
A bird flew over you and pooped on your head!
Ding Man Yi!
He does have a gift for drawing.
Forget it. It's too cold to wear this.
Over here.
Hold this for me.
What wrong? You can't hold it? Here, give it to me.
Dad, don't hold that. Mom is tired. Go help her.
It's true. She doesn't look so good.
Dad, hurry.
Go check on her. Let me hold that.
It's okay. I got it.
- How are you doing? Let me get that. - I'm okay.
Put up the tent, then start a fire and barbecue some food. I'm hungry.
I'm going to take pictures with Mom and Dad.
Hurry up.
Dad, let's take pictures!
All right, let's take pictures.
Pictures... Here we go.
Smile. One, two, three, cheese!
- Okay, got it. - Let me see if it's good.
Does it look good?
My eyes are closed in this. Let's do another one.
Okay.
One, two, three, cheese.
All right, you two take pictures. I'm going to help her out.
Dad, we haven't taken one together yet.
Man Yi, I'll take some with you later. I'm going to help Auntie An.
Ren Jian, Man Yi is so happy right now.
And, we won't have many chances to do this. Just take a picture.
Okay, then.
Let's take a picture.
Okay, all together.
Got it.
Dad, I'll take a picture of the two of you.
Okay. Here, Man Yi.
Dad, look this way.
Is this okay?
All right, that's enough. You two can take pictures.
Are you done? We're starving!
Yes, it's almost done. Just a little longer.
Watch how you speak to her.
Man Yi.
What?
An Qing Huan, I previously put a ring on your finger for other reasons
but there was one thing I didn't say.
I'm going to make up for that today.
Will you marry me and be my wife?
Are you proposing to me right now?
The meat is going to burn.
Can you...
Can you propose to me at a more romantic moment next time?
Wait, what are you proposing to me with?
Yes, I don't have savings, a house, or a ring right now.
I don't know how to say anything romantic, either.
I'm just going to ask you one thing. Will you marry me? Answer me.
Why are you being so mean?
Stop going off on tangents. Will you or not?
Yes.
This worked?
Quick, put the ring on my finger.
- It's a bit big. - It's okay. I like it big.
I'm going to catch the biggest fish for Mom.
Okay, you'll fish for your mom, and I'll fish for Auntie An Qing Huan.
Let's see who catches the most fish. Okay?
This just came off the grill. Have some.
Thank you.
You don't look that great. Are you feeling sick?
I'm fine. I feel great.
Wow, that's a big fish!
Wow, that smells good.
It looks tasty.
But, is this sanitary?
Don't worry. This is all-natural and pollution-free.
Is it done? I'm taking it.
What are you doing, Man Yi?
Who said you would fish for Mom, and I would fish for Auntie An Qing Huan?
