In Liu Meina's birthday in a few days.
Tang Shanhai will use that chance to make his move.
Then we must think of a way to help Tang Shanhai.
Division Chief, say, can you let me have a leave of absence?
Looks like this Tang Shanhai really plans to make a move on Liu Meina.
Liu Meina probably doesn't know what Bi Zhongliang is doing.
But Bi Zhongliang surely know very well Liu Meina's every move.
Since Bi Zhongliang has already prepared a stage for me, I'll then accompany him to play this act.
Such a good act, how can we miss it?
Episode 30
You think he doesn't know who he loves? That's enough already.
Chen Shen has no more family members. An older sister is like a mother.
If I, his sister-in-law, don't care for him, who will?
You men just don't give importance to these matters.
Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Go ahead.
Anyway, whether you accept it or not, is your decision. But I still have to say them.
If a good lady like Xiaonan really get stolen by other people,
you surely will regret it.
I will surely remember your lectures.
Can I go dance now?
Sure, only if you invite Xiaonan to a dance. Or else, don't bother going out.
Sister-in-law, I promise you. I surely will ask her for a dance.
But shouldn't I invite our tonight's birthday girl for a dance first?
I approve that. Go now.
What are you giving approval to?
No, a melon that you're forced to eat won't be sweet.
What's the use of you worrying about their romantic matters?
What do you know? It's living together, right?
If they get together, they will eventually develop feelings for each other.
In the past, I also didn't like you. But look now, we've been together for 15 years already.
Are you confessing the truth after having a drink?
If you didn't like me then, tell me who did you like before?
I...won't tell you.
- Come. - Thank you, teacher.
- Meina. - Yes?
Can I ask you for a dance?
Oh, looks like I have to wait for the next dance now.
We too. We are all falling in line.
We've been waiting for a long time already.
You guys, after following Team Leader Chen,
you really are getting better in sweet talking.
I am a sweet talker to begin with.
Sorry then, everyone.
Can I ask you for a dance?
Okay. Go now.
Zhongliang, what is it?
Nothing. Come.
You haven't asked your wife for a dance yet.
Today, you are the birthday girl, you are the main star.
Hey, do you know how Secretary Qian praised me earlier?
How?
He said that my earrings are very pretty. Of course, they are. You gave them to me.
But he then said if I wear them, their beauty won't show.
Because his sight was totally absorbed me by.
I won't be able to say such cheesy lines.
You don't need to say anything.
Everything about you is great.
Sorry. So sorry.
It's fine.
After so long, no improvement at all.
Go dance by Tang Shanhai side.
Keep watch of Chen Shen.
Bicheng, Team Leader Tang can really dance well.
You dance better. I kept stepping on him.
So sorry.
Thank you.
It's quite hot in here.
How about we go out first to catch some fresh air?
- Sure. - Let's go.
Mrs. Tang, will you give me an honor and have a dance with me?
Team Leader Tang, Ms. Liu, Division Chief is asking everyone for a drink.
This way, please.
Can I sit here?
If you want to sit, do you need others to let you sit?
Such huge anger.
If you are like this, which man would dare ask you for a dance?
I don't need others to ask me to dance!
- Hurry and sit down! - Meina!
- Division Chief. - Come, sit.
- Division Chief, Mrs. Bi. - Hey.
In our division, I worry the most about Chen Shen.
Second in line is the birthday girl today, you, Meina.
You clearly are a flower in our division yet still no husband.
Tell me. Why is that so?
Aiyo, for a woman, being picky is right.
If you're not picky before you get married, what if you regret it afterwards?
Then it will be too late already. Right?
Moreover, a beautiful woman like Meina
with such good figure, surely has a lot to choose from.
Isn't it, Team Leader Tang?
Indeed.
Mrs. Bi, Division Chief, and Team Leader Tang, stop making a joke out of me already.
If a woman wants to be beautiful, she still has to work for it.
Look at Meina today, from her hairstyle, hair accessories, earrings, jewelries, plus this dress,
shoes, and especially that purse.
Look at how it fits with her outfit! It looks so good.
Zhongliang is right. Women are 30% looks and 70% attire.
Right?
Moreover, Meina is so pretty
and dresses so well.
People all like her so much.
- But Meina, your purse is so pretty! - Right.
Aiyo, can I have a look?
Sure!
Aiyo, this handiwork, color-matching,
and texture are so exquisite.
So great. Also, look at this chain.
Its overall compatibility with this purse is complete perfection!
Meina, I realized that you have very good taste! You're good at picking accessories.
Where did you buy this purse?
Tell me the store next time, and I'll also go check it out, okay?
I don't know about that.
You'll have to ask Team Leader Chen.
Chen Shen bought you this purse?
Yes.
Team Leader Chen is dancing with Miss Li outside. Should I call for them?
I'll go invite those two over.
Go ahead.
Miss Li, Team Leader Chen, Division Chief is wanting to drink some alcohol with you two inside.
- I'm here. - Hurry, hurry.
What are you doing? Hurry in!
Everybody left. It's no fun anymore.
- Hurry and come inside! Sit! - That's right. Let's sit.
- Hey, come inside! - Come inside!
- Come in! - Come in.
Meina, I've always wanted to buy a purse like this,
but I think it's too small and can't carry much.
It's not too small. You can place lipstick, money,
or keys inside.
It also has layers.
There are layers inside this?
- Can I open it and see? - Sure.
Look, I placed the lipstick here,
and then placed my keys in an inner layer. This way, it won't rub against other things.
Then, I put my money here.
It can fit so much.
It's great.
Why did you call us inside to talk about purses?
Our Chen Shen is great at making little girls happy.
Whenever I ask him to take a walk with me,
he says he's busy.
Sister-in-Law, you're the one who said
to stop clinging around you because then I won't be able to find a wife.
You think you're so good with words.
Sister, if you want to go shopping in the future, I'll go with you.
Okay! My Sister Xiaonan is the best.
Team Leader Chen,
- here. I'll propose a toast to you. - Team Leader Su.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. My hand accidentally shook.
If your hand isn't well, then don't propose toasts!
- I'll do it, I'll do it. - I'm fine.
Why did you propose a toast?
I said, I'm fine!
Why is there a hidden one?
Team Leader Chen,
why do you have a purse identical to Miss Liu's?
What are you planning to do?
Xiaonan, sit.
Actually, I'm not prepared yet.
I don't know if I can be a qualified husband.
I know that I have many stupid flaws. I hate myself very much.
But when I met you,
I realized that I have one merit.
As long as I like somebody,
I am willing to do everything for her.
During this time, I thought about it a lot.
I've finally made up my mind.
You won.
Are you willing to marry me and be my Mrs. Chen?
This is great. Now, I don't have to worry anymore.
If somebody proposed to me like that, that'd be so great.
That day will come.
Marry him!
Xiaonan, what are you waiting for? Hurry and agree to the proposal!
It's so pretty.
If I hadn't found this purse earlier,
you wouldn't have had the courage to bring me the ring,
right?
I'll keep the ring safe for you for now.
If... Only if...
If one day you're not hesitant anymore, you can put this on me.
Or if one day you regret your decision,
you can take this back.
Did you know
that since the first day I met you,
I've been looking forward to the day when you propose to me,
but the situation today
isn't what I want.
I want a man
who comes to my side with no hesitation.
I want a man who's willing to spend his whole life with me.
If you've really come,
you have no more right to regret your decision.
This purse is also for you.
Thank you.
This purse is so pretty,
but in the future, can you stop buying me gifts that are identical to others' gifts?
Every woman hopes that her position in a man's heart is unique.
You lost control of your emotions today.
How come your focus was
on this matter? Tonight,
your plan was almost exposed. If Chen Shen hadn't been flexible to the changes,
how could you have explained those two purses?
This situation was totally hard to resolve.
Of course, I've thought about it. After Li Xiaonan discovered the purse that's with Chen Shen, I already thought about all possibilities.
In this world, there's no perfect plan.
Good thing that Chen Shen helped us so we were still able to come home tonight.
That's why, I am focusing on you now.
I'm tired already. I'll go to sleep now.
Tomorrow, I will ask Liu Meina out once more.
Hey, tell me. What are all the young people doing now?
Hey.
Doesn't Li Xiaonan kept wanting to be married to Chen Shen?
It's not easy that
Chen Shen finally agreed and he even proposed to her, yet she refused it.
Tell me, isn't that strange?
You...you are really worrying too much.
Did she say she doesn't agree? No, she didn't.
Moreover, I feel that what she did is right.
Right? What's right about it?
Don't you know what kind of person Chen Shen is?
He kept wavering, his heart kepts changing.
Now, there is a person who can make him settle down. Isn't that good?
Let me tell you. Don't keep letting him just do as he wants.
The more you spoil him like that, the more he won't know how to be contented. Understand?
You really think that ring tonight was prepared by Chen Shen for Li Xiaonan?
No, what do you mean by that?
Nothing really. Let's sleep.
If he didn't prepare it for Xiaonan, who did he prepare it for?
Aiya, let's sleep already.
No. You only said it partly. You are not allowed to sleep.
You must tell me first what you mean by what you said earlier.
I didn't mean anything. Let's sleep.
What do you mean by 'I didn't mean anything"?
Are you saying it or not?
Aiya, I am just guessing.
There are so many rumors in the division saying that Chen Shen and Xu Bicheng are having ambiguous relationship.
Xu Bicheng?
No way. Go to sleep. You are just making up things.
Yes. Yes. Making up things.
What are they saying?
- Brother Shen. - How was it?
I don't know which hey is the right one so I copied everything.
By 5:30 pm, I will take Liu Meina here to try on her cheongsam.
Try to find a way to let this shop lose electricity while she is trying on her dress.
I understand.
Say, you think that reducing around 5 cun more in this area will be better?
If I give you a gift, will I be less annoying?
So beautiful.
Team Leader Chen, you really know how to make a woman happy.
Ms. Liu, I'm done altering it.
I deducted around 6 centimeters, less than 1 cun.
Try it on again if it fits.
Okay. Thank you, Master Sheng.
Mr. Chen, I'll go out first to entertain a customer.
- If you need anything, just call me. - Sure, just do your work.
What's wrong?
- There is a mouse in there! - Mouse?
What's going on? How come there is no electricity?
Master Sheng, what's wrong in this shop of yours?
There is a mouse inside! It really scared me!
Oh, my, sorry, sorry, Ms. Liu. I caused you to be scared.
The mouse might have bitten off the electric wires.
This hateful mouse...look...
You did great.
When can Tang Shanhai be like Chen Shen
and propose to me?
Good morning.
The wedding proposal last night is very touching.
It's just acting.
I can see that Xiaonan is very touched.
If I had a choice, I hope that the person doing the act with me was you.
Later, I will be telling Bi Zhongliang the truth
that the ring actually was for Tang Shanhai and Liu Meina. He was afraid that you'll be unhappy after knowing about it,
so he temporarily gave it to me for safe keeping.
But when it was discovered, you were also at the scene.
If I say the truth then, won't I expose the rift in your marriage?
Are you sure you want to do that?
Su Sanxing must have discovered something.
Or else, he will not deliberately spill the wine on me.
He did everything just to be able to get the item inside the purse.
That's why, the act yesterday was just to deal with the sudden awkwardness.
It won't be able to fool Bi Zhongliang.
Rather than letting him make guesses, better to just tell him the truth.
Then how do you plan to explain it?
How come there are two exactly the same purses?
I can only say that we bought the purses in the same store.
It just so happen that the sales lady gave us the same kind of purse.
In reality, this purse indeed was placed in Wing On Department Store's counter most prominent area.
You must tell Tang Shanhai about this.
So that when Bi Zhongliang asks him, he will be prepared.
Okay. I will tell him.
I wasn't able to help in this matter. So sorry.
You clearly were able to save us again.
If you really proceeded with the switching of the purses last night
and then got found out, we then would have been unable to explain it.
Shanhai didn't blame me, right?
He said that he will see Liu Meina again tonight.
If there's nothing else, I'll get going now.
If last night, Xiaonan agreed to it,
will you two be getting married?
Won't you ask me why I'm here?
Yesterday's ring looked very expensive. You must have spent a lot of money.
Rascal, you've secretly saved up a stash of money, huh?
I knew you'd ask that.
Fine, I'll admit it.
Admit? What are you going to admit?
I didn't buy that ring.
It wasn't meant for Li Xiaonan, either.
Aiya, I can't believe
Li Xiaonan was the one under the limelight last night.
I'm sorry. You must have been unhappy on your birthday.
Forget it. You can't be blamed for this.
I'll never be as romantic or unpredictable as Chen Shen,
but if you want anything, tell me directly. I'll fulfill your wishes.
I know.
To me, Chen Shen treats everybody the same.
You're better than him. I'm not envious of Li Xiaonan at all.
How about I make your birthday up to you today?
- Really? - Yes.
I already told Xu Bicheng I'm going on a business trip.
Since Division Chief hosted that banquet, the business trip was delayed, so I can spend time with you tonight.
You didn't disappointment me.
- Division Chief, Team Leader Chen really said that? - Yes.
But even if Tang Shanhai meant to give that ring to Liu Meina,
why did he put it in an identical purse?
Chen Shen told me that it's a coincidence.
Wing On Department Store just so happened
to heavily promote this purse, so he bought one.
He was also surprised Tang Shanhai bought the same one.
Division Chief,
it's possible that they planned
to switch out the purse and steal Liu Meina's keys,
but we watched them too closely, so they couldn't find an opportunity.
I have something to say that you won't believe,
but undoubtedly,
Team Leader Chen is very questionable.
Think about it. If the closest person to you,
your most trusted man, just so happens to be your enemy,
that'd be horrifying.
I'm currently certain that they haven't succeeded yet.
I think so.
Thus, they will surely have a second step in their plan.
No matter what they do, allow them to do it.
Eventually, they'll come looking for the Return to Zero Plan.
Division Chief, don't worry. I'll arrange for men to closely watch them and report back to you.
Thank you.
- Hello? I'm Chen Shen. - Hello, Team Leader Chen?
I'm Su Sanxing. Are you in your office?
I need to speak to you. Is it a convenient time?
Yes, it's convenient.
- Hey, Team Leader Chen. - Team Leader Su.
Are you busy? Am I disturbing you?
No, please come in.
What would you like to drink? I have tea, coffee, and soda.
No need. I'll leave after I speak to you.
Then, I'll give you coffee.
Aiya, I always thought coffee could only be found in a coffee shop.
I can't believe you also have coffee.
This was actually from General Kagesa to Old Bi.
It was imported. Old Bi can't get used to the taste,
so he gave them to me.
Giving a country bumpkin like me such precious coffee is quite a waste.
Team Leader Su, did you need something?
It's nothing. I just wanted to chat with you.
Go ahead.
Lately, I've been getting close to Miss Li.
I know.
Miss Li is a very enthusiastic and kind person.
I understand that very well.
There are some blunt words that I must say.
Team Leader Chen,
if you can't sincerely take care of Miss Li, why don't you stay away from her?
Team Leader Su, do you know at what temperature, coffee is the most delicious?
85 degrees. Have a try.
Team Leader Su, do you dislike hot drinks?
Although I don't have 100 degrees-worth of sincerity for Li Xiaonan,
I can give her 85 degrees-worth of warmth.
Also, I don't think she needs 100 degrees.
Although that temperature of coffee is delicious, it's hot.
Also, if you don't like coffee, Team Leader Su, don't force yourself to drink it.
It's important for humans to be self-knowledgeable.
Division Chief, should we call Tang Shanhai over and question him?
Ask if he really bought that ring.
No need.
If they had already arranged a plan, they wouldn't leave behind evidence for me.
That's true.
But they forgot that the most foolproof plans
are the most suspicious.
