Old Ding is fine now, right?
He is alright.
Are Uncle and Manyi asleep?
They have slept early.
I'll get going then.
Let me walk you out.
Just have some rest.
It's fine. I just happen to want to go out and breathe some fresh air too. Let's go.
There has been some changes in Old Ding's job.
What changes? He got fired?
No.
There is a company that wanted to pirate him. The conditions and benefits are quite good.
But Old Ding can't bear to part with his current company so he came to have a chat with me
and in passing, drank a few glasses.
It's good to have some changes too.
I plan to buy a house so he should also follow my lead.
- You finally have decided. - Yes.
You shouldn't be living in a place like this.
Do you know about our class reunion this weekend?
Yes, I already received the message.
After graduating for so many years, it seems that the we will be more complete in this year's reunion.
Do you and Old Ding plan to go?
It depends.
After not going for so many years, I fear that people won't recognize me anymore.
No way. You didn't really change much.
You still look like that school muse from before.
Really?
Didn't I just learn that from your husband?
.Keep saying that beauty in our home, or that fairy-like pretty woman in the house,
It really angers me when he does that.
Can't you learn something good from him?
That's Old Ding's good trait.
He knows how to amuse people. Or else,
he wouldn't have able to make you live in this place.
Enough already. It's already late. Hurry and go home now.
Sure. I'll get going then. Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Why did you get up?
I woke up from grandpa's snoring.
Here. Your father gave you this.
Childish.
How did I get home?
[ Interview with New Power at 9:30 am. ]
[ New Power Network Company ]
For my wife, for my son,
for my useless father.
Ding Renjian, fighting.
Dad, why are you clothed like that again? Can't you at least wear an additional pair of pants?
If Li Yue sees you, she will feel so awkward.
Awkward? Who feels awkward?
I still haven't even felt awkward so why must she?
It's fine if she feels awkward. Then move out. Stop staying here in my house.
You do as you want. Do you have money?
Go ask from your wife.
What are you doing?! That's my money.
Your wife everyday
acts like some searching officer and take all your money away.
That doesn't seem right. She left you some food coupons.
I just didn't have time to ask. I still have to see someone today. Just put it on my tab.
- You haven't even paid me back for the one last time yet!- Okay. I'm going now.
You have to pay them back with interest!
How would I be able to get away from paying you back?
Do you play this thing?
How come you have only passed these few levels?
I'm already over level 500.
Over here—
Victory!
Are you also here for a job interview?
This must be your first time at a job interview, right?
Just one look and I noticed it already that you lack experience.
How come you came here just wearing like that?
You should dress up like me, formal.
You must make them feel that you value them.
You must make them feel that you are very serious about this matter.
You surely will not be hired this time. Just treat it as a training.
And also,
I'll give you one advice.
Just treat it as a preparation for next time.
You cannot be too shy.
Look. We probably have talked with ten plus words, right?
I haven't heard you say words other then 'en' and 'ah'.
That won't work. You youngsters are too egocentric and introvert just like my son,
who rarely talks to me in a month and more than half of them are internet lingo that I don't know at all.
Job interview is like selling things. You have to sell yourself.
You must know how to bluff.
Turn bad things to good ones. Make black sound like white.
Sell those stocks in the storage room as if they are hot items.
Of course, this matter isn't that simple.
There are actually a lot of ways to do a good job interview.
You must be passionate and must now when to stop.
Sometimes, you still have to intentionally allowing more latitude and then tighten the rein afterwards.
Allowing more latitude and then tightening the rein?
You don't understand, right? Your generation basically doesn't understand idioms.
Don't like to study. What it means is you must not let them feel
that you value them too much.
Simply speaking, it's like being in a romantic relationship. You had one, right?
It means the passive one is the one with feelings.
You must strive to be the active one.
Right, how do you do that?
Next, I'll talk about it.
You have to give them things that are unexpected.
Things that are not found in a resume. Things that only you have and others don't.
Let them remember you very well.
How many people go on an interview in a day? 200 plus. How many of them get to be remembered?
Just based on this? What everyone writes here are very similar,
just experiences and age. As it's real or not, it's all a joke.
Then if you don't write these, what will you write?
This you must write but you should also give something other than these.
Let me give you an example. Use me as an example.
I am a programmer. In our field, we call it code farmer.
Right? But I didn't write on my resume that I can cook.
- I can really cook!- What does that mean then?
What it means? It means that I love life a lot.
I am designed for active living. I am full of passion!
Don't belittle such things.
The usual presentable big companies all have business culture.
What a real leader value the most isn't the work but the person and his attitude.
You didn't get my point, right?
Did I say it too profoundly today?
It isn't your fault. There were indeed too much information.
But I am just thinking for your sake.
You felt it, right?
Is it your turn already? Don't be nervous.
Get pumped up! Get high!
That young man is promising and worthy to be taught.
Ding Renjian. Mr. Ding.
- Here.- Your turn.
Okay.
Get high!

Hey, where is your maid?
She resigned yesterday.
Resigned? Then I don't need to change to slippers anymore, do I?
You must keep your shoes. If you don't make shoe prints on this expensive floor of mine, then you are not my best friend.
So logical.
Wow! Cool! So cool!
I finally waited for this day. Do you know I have so many complaints about your maid?
Every time I come here, she insisted that I remove my shoes.
It wasn't enough that I remove my shoes, I had to wear shoe covers. What's wrong?
Did I apply tear gas on my feet? Really.
And also, I just ate one apple from your house and that maid's eyes rolled like the tummy of a fish.
Hey, have I not eaten an apple before?
Master An, are you for real this time?
See this?
Look at it well.
Are you really cutting it?
Come. This is so cool! Let me have a turn.
Not bad.
There is a card there that belongs to me so don't cut it.
Okay.
Say, if you ask me, you should have done this long ago.
What kind of life have you had for these past few years? Right?
A person who is made to be a goddess kneeling to someone else everyday.
The person you are kneeling to is not even a man but a woman.
Just for those money, is it really worth it?
You really know me well. I didn't go there for the money.
You just want to make me mention that past that had bitterly disappointed me. Is that it?
No need for you to say. I'll say it for you.
Getting in Zen Corporation just for your ex-boyfriend.
You did everything to make him go up the ranks, but him?
Just suddenly changing job, dumped you, and looked for another one.
That time, that woman supported you.
What to do then?
I also feel that what we had was friendship.
Wrong.
You and me have no relationship at all but I was willing to get hurt for you, that is friendship.
What she did was to use you.
Tell me, women treat me like that
and men also treat me like that. Why then?
Because you are stupid.
Have you helped me look for a house or not?
I did. I build houses so it's so easy for me to look for a house.
Take a look.
A very good apartment.
Newly renovated and you can move in anytime.
Here.
If the price is acceptable, it's fine with me.
But I want a big and sophisticated kitchen with high ceiling.
Sure. So what?
What are your plans this afternoon, Master An?
I'm going to Zhen Corporation to resign while you go look at the house for me.
Yes.
Chairman Zhai, all the interviews for today are already done.
Do you have people you like?
I can notify them for a second interview.
All are very boring.
President Zhai, that money you said before hasn't entered our account yet.
Our funds for promotions have been used up.
Right now, we're a bit tight when it comes to finances.
Because my father is missing me, he uses this to make me visit him.
Go. I'll find us some money.
Vice President Qin, let me tell you. I came here today to—
Qinghuan,
my husband has divorced me.
Just a while ago.
A lawyer's letter sent from the States. He won't even personally come.
How come he didn't even say such thing to you face to face?
He is being too much.
For so many years,
he has always have a mistress outside.
I know about it. But this time,
he might really have fallen in love.
What do you plan to do now?
Divorce then.
Anyway, he won't be able to get any stock rights at Zhen Corporation.
They are all going to be under my name.
Then you'll the same stock percentage as Chairman, right?
If you lose something, you'll surely gain something.
It's all thanks to these men.
I'll leave this place to you then.
I'll go do a facial.
Help me set an appointment with my usual facial shop.
I will be there in twenty minutes.
Okay.
An Qinghuan, what did you come here for?
You are really dumb enough to be manipulated by that kind of old lady.
- You— - I came to get a check from my dad.
Has he come to work already?
Chairman is in a meeting. It most likely will end after 20 minutes.
You can go wait for him in his office.
You so wanted to sit in this seat, right?
Then sit.
Jeez, there are no people right now. Sit...
How about it? Comfortable, right?
An Qinghuan, from Hualian, Taiwan.
Came with her parents to mainland China when she was little.
Graduated from Shanghai's Maritime University with a degree in Hospitality & Hotel Management.
After graduating, became an administrative and editorial assistant in some famous magazine.
Later on, you followed your superior,
who was also your boyfriend, and entered the Zhen Corporation.
I've heard that the spot you two are competing for is the same one.
It was a general manager of a newly opened hotel.
But for your lover, you gave up on this position
and stayed at the restaurant he worked at.
You've done pretty much all the small jobs,
scrubbing of bowls, wiping of plates,
and you've even carried frozen pork.
How heavy is half of a pig without the head?
I have no idea. Teach me please.
- 50 plus kilos.- Impressive.
Just for love,
a weak girl like you must carry a 50 kilos frozen pork on your shoulder.
Worthy to be sang and praised.
Too bad, your fairy tale was broken.
One year after, your ex-boyfriend got a rich sis and transferred to International Gourmet Corporation.
You lost both persona and money.
You luckily got chosen by Vice Chairman Qin
and became her special administrative assistant.
Life is sweet, bitter, cold and warm. One can know it only by experiencing it.
Did I say it all right? Did I miss anything?
No. You investigate it very clearly.
That's why, you came here to laugh at me, is that it?
Totally opposite. I came here to teach you how to deal with that old woman.
- Are you interested to listen?- I am.
Resign.
I really heard such shocking information. Thank you.
Didn't I already do that?
What do you plan to do after resigning?
I plan to eat something first, do some facial,
get my hair done, and then go on-line and see if there are any job openings.
Far off. After you resign, straight to my father's office.
Let him give you the manager position for the Bunuolin flagship restaurant.
Oh, my god...you're crazy? On what basis?
Based on I support you.
But you are not your father.
Then you do as you want. Anyway, things are already like this.
Rather than being a stray dog, why not do your best and turn yourself from a guest to the master?
But I have to warn you,
my father's meeting probably will end in fifteen minutes.
Accurately saying, you have 10 minutes to write a resignation letter and a curriculum vitae.
I'm going now. No need to walk me out.
Oh, another minute has passed.
[ Bunolin: The Design of the Restaurant ]
Thank you, Dad. I love you.
Ah...just because I gave you money, you say that you love me.
Do you really love me or love my check?
I love my dad who has a check.
I'm leaving, bye-bye.
Really such an honest kid.
Fighting, Big Sis.
I'm going now, Dad.
Chairman, I have something to report to you.
- Sit first. - What?
Aren't the ones in you hands the whole planing documents for that flagship store?
Right.
I'll give you a leave today. Go back and reorganize your mood.
Tomorrow, come with me to look at some new prospective store location.
After all, that will be your store from now on.
What's wrong? Do you have any other request?
None. None. No more other requests.
This...how come Chairman...suddenly...
I don't know what you relationship with Zhiwei is.
Aveeno perfectly merges nature and science.
It is a professional American skin care brand.
How are we going to—
Let's continue.
How are we going to show our distinction from the local products?
Didn't I already say that I want this house?
And now, you are letting other people look at it? Don't you know what honesty means?
I don't care.
My contact is your manger's wife.
What do you mean by the contract hasn't been officially signed?
Didn't I already say that I have a very important meeting now. I'll go there once we're done.
Don't give me that.
I'll let my husband go there now and sign the contract with you. Is that okay now?
Preposterous.
Hey...let go.
Why are you pulling on my tie?
- Wife.- Hey, Ding Renjian, where are you?
I am at...
Wife, I must confess something to you.
Enough already. Just confess to me later.
Immediately go to the real estate sales office now and sign that contract for me.
- Are you saying now? - Immediately. Right now.
Wife,
can we delay the buying of our house?
Not waiting.
No, now is really not the time to buy a house.
I better just confess this matter to you. Actually, yesterday, I—
Ding Renjian,
for so many years, I've kept a lot of words to myself.
Listen well.
I've had enough living a 'make do' life with you, Ding Manyi, and your father.
One more day, and I'll already breakdown.
Do you know what a thirty some years old woman breaking down looks like?
I more or less can imagine it. Wife, don't scare me.
It's really no point continuing to making do with a life like this.
I wake up early and stay up late to work everyday.
Do you know how much I want to sit in a big bath tub and have a warm bath?
But what's the reality?
I can only use that leaking shower head
and just make do with taking a bath with hot water that's not hot during winter.
What did you tell me, Ding Renjian?
You said that taking cold baths is good for one's health.
I really so want to call the hospital and ask them if that has scientific basis.
Why do I dress and make myself up in a pretty and gorgeous way?
I was afraid that people will look down on me.
I also want them to know that my husband is a very capable man, that he can provide for me,
that he can give me a good life.
And also, I do have some friends.
But for the past years, we've gotten farther part. Why?
When we gather, it's either at this house or that house.
But if it's my turn, I can only say that it's inconvenient.
How can it be convenient? With just that living room of ours.
You even have to make arrangements first just to sit six people.
Nevermind, we won't get together.
I am also a woman.
I only want a house that belongs to me.
Live some good life. Is that excessive, Ding Renjian?
Not excessive...
I have an important meeting now so I can't leave.
Someone is trying to compete with us for that house.
Deng Renjian, go and sign the contract.
If you are able to get this thing done, I'll have more respect for you.
If you fail it, Ding Renjian—
What?
I'm tired already.
No, wife, don't worry. I surely will get this thing done for you.
Thank you, husband.

Frontdesk? Look over the resumes.
Get me back that interviewee earlier who was the oldest and ugliest.
Okay.
- Hello. - Hello, is this Ding Renjian?
Which one is this?
Hello, I'm from New Power Network Company. Congratulations, you're hired.
What?
Sit down.
I'll still stand. Standing is beneficial for blood circulation
and also for the tightness of butt muscles.
Please make what you're going to say to me as short and simple as possible.
I still have to do something important later.
Let me introduce to you. This is our company's HR head.
He will formally sign a contract with you later.
- Sign a contract?- Right, you're hired.
What did you say?
I don't have a habit of saying things twice.
So as my future subordinate, please maintain good hearing skills.
But... that—
But, yet, sorry, are the three words that I definitely need not hear.
From now on, you can only say three statements in front of me.
Yes, boss.
I surely will fulfill the task, boss.
You really are so handsome, boss.
That's why, you are currently playing me. Is that it?
You can say so.
Oh, I understand already.
Just because I treated you like an ignorant kid and gave you a lecture a few minutes ago when we were outside,
you are unhappy about it so you are deliberately embarrassing me now, is that it?
Not only now, I'll embarrass you for a lot of times.
A person who dares to teach me how to live isn't really that many.
Especially someone like you who's lived past season.
I want to give you a chance to open your eyes and see how I live.
May I ask, how old are you now?
23.
Really so young. At your age, I still was thinking where I would go to get a free meal.
You really opened my eyes today.
The world is for you young ones already. I'm going now.
Hey, Ding Renjian.
I admit that I was playing you because it is fun.
But I want to continue having fun.
That's why, my HR head will be here waiting for you for 24 hours.
We won't accept you anymore beyond that.
Master An.
You've been laughing for over 20 minutes. It's about enough. Okay?
You don't know how long have I waited for this day.
That's right.
Sigh, I finally witnessed a great miracle in inheritance history.
Sparrow turning into a phoenix. I already told you before.
When a woman comes out to work, she must have a backer.
I told you to seduce that old Zhai guy but you don't want to. Fine.
Acting as if some pure and clean heroine. And now, you got to seduce his son.
Who seduced him?
Before yesterday, I don't even know his name.
But after knowing him, you even relied on him to get your dream position. Don't you feel guilty?
What do I have to be guilty about?
The right to manage Bunuolin restaurant was traded with my 8 months of hard work.
In the whole company, no one knows this project better than me.
Me, An Qinghuan. Of course it's me.
Right! I was just waiting for those words from you.
Jeez, I am thinking,
how can my great Master An become like that?
After bowing at an old woman, you now have to bow to a young handsome guy.
How is it possible?
You know that I hate the most are those rich kids who only rely on their parents.
Hey, isn't he that young and promising CEO of New Power?
Isn't that established all from his dad's money?
I even saw him today coming to our company to get some checks.
What do I rely on?
Hard work.
What I relied on is intelligence, okay?!
Master An, you really are unbelievable.
Your laugh is so evil.
Let me tell you. I have a ejection button here.
- Will you eject me? - Of course.
You're such a bitch.
Where will I be swiping my card?
Are you Mr. Li and Ms. An?
So fast. I thought that you are going to think about it first.
I have always been a resolute person. Let's do the paperworks.
You two drink some coffee first. I'll just prepare the contracts for you.
Oh, right, did you bring your identification card and permanent resident certificate?
- Zhu Gan.- Yes, I brought it.
Other than marriage certificate, we've bought all kinds of certificates.
Then wait for awhile.
I'm here! I'm here!
B tower room 2105 is here to pay!
Hey, is there anyone here?
B tower, 2105, I didn't hear it wrong, right?
It's the one I want to buy right?
That's right. It was indeed your house.
Ding Renjian.
Hey, An...what huan?
Manager.
Right. The two of them are both here.
One is through you.
Mr. Li's friend, Ms. An.
And the other is through your wife. Ms. Li's husband, Mr. Ding.
I will handle this well.
Okay. Okay. Don't worry.
So sorry. It is indeed our fault that we are in this situation of one house but two clients.
Hope you two will forgive us, okay?
Stop saying these nonsense. Just say it, to whom are you selling it?
That's right. But before you make any decision,
better consider first the image of your real estate sales office.
The tenant's manners will directly decide his future relationship with the landlord.
Those that will just serve you complaints all day and are very argumentative,
It's best to be careful of them.
it indeed is easy to get the payment but you surely will suffer in the future.
I agree. The standards of the tenant is very important.
What is the location of this condominium?
High class, trendy, and international.
Look at this man in front of us. Which about him fits those three description?
Aren't you afraid of being stopped by the guard at the main gates for inspection every time you enter?
Not afraid at all.
Identification card, permanent residence certificate, and marriage certificate, all complete and photocopied.
Anyway, my conscience is clear.
I am actually worried
that a girl like you exposing your chest and back all the time,
it is easy for others to misinterpret it. And you are not that young already, right?
Stop acting like some young delicate lady.
Control it, control it. It's fine, it's fine.
If you can't understand my trendy fashion, then don't look.
But I think that day, you also looked a lot of times.
I'm most annoyed with an evil man like you that keep talking about humanity, justice and morality
but actually has a stomach full of thieves and prostitutes.
I indeed looked but there's nothing good to look at.
Even if my stomach do have thieves and prostitutes,
but it is only restricted to my beautiful and magnanimous legal wife whom I've been married for ten years!
Don't know which auntie was that unfortunate to marry you.
I really feel extreme sorrow for her.
Sorrow, sorrow, it's not your fault.
The one that's already wearing the shoe
is better than the one that hasn't found the shoe.
Let me...
Hey, you two, having to much fun quarreling?
War of words won't really solve the problem.
For important matters like this, we should talk about it in an amicable way.
Please don't do personal attacks.
Okay? Let me hose this. One statement for each. Ladies first.
Ms. An, go.
You must have this house right?
If I can't get this house today then I will get out of here upside-down.
That's right, I agree. I also compete with skills.
Little girl, daring to fight with me?!
Fight then. Who is afraid of who? Let's gamble one round.
- What kind?- Anything.
Hey, bro, are you sure you are going to bet with her using this?
Seeing my domineering warm up, afraid already?
It's too late.
Are you dong warming up?
Had enough.
Good luck.
Serve.
Accepting your defeat?
You are a professional?
This is already my worst game.
Hey, Zhu Gan.
Earlier, what did someone say while we were in the real estate office?
I think he said that he will walk out upside down if he lose.
Right...
How was it said? Oh right, they will get out...
Wow, he really has skills.
Good thing, I didn't compete with him with this.
Lucky.
We think so alike.
We're in sync with no competitors.
He dared to fight with me?
He didn't first ask around who I am.
Let me tell you. A pitiful person surely has something hateful about him.
If he wasn't that annoying, I might have just let him have the house.
I am just that kind of person. Soft works on me but not hard.
Yes, you're the great one.
Let me say a few words to you too.
Don't you use to be a very kind lady?
Anything that wanders on the streets,
either a cat, a dog, or a living person, you dare to bring them home with you.
Right? You will say to take care of them first and decide afterwards.
But these two years, really great...
Whoever you meet, you treat them like they are your enemies.
Especially if it is a guy.
Hey, I'm talking to you. Give me some reaction.
Oh, right.
About that classmate reunion in our group,
you didn't make a reply.
What? Are you going or not?
Is he going?
He...didn't say he'll go.
If he goes, will you go?
Don't know. I'm already very tired. I'm going to sleep.
Go now.
Okay. I'll get going then.
Rest for awhile.
What is it that you are being this mysterious?
The situation was like this.
That area that we liked,
there is still one unit upstairs
with the same shape, composition, and direction
with that unit that you liked.
Just a bit larger and more expensive
that the first unit. The manager already told me that if we are able to reserve it,
she will even help us get some discount.
What about that unit that I wanted?
I'm talking to you about another unit. This other unit is better.
That unit that you liked got stolen by somebody else.
Wife, don't be like this.
Those two houses are almost the same.
It's just that this second one is a bit larger than the last one.
Being bigger is better. Don't you want to ask friends to come during your gathering?
You can fit a line of them.
And also, it's a bit more expensive.
But that is important as long as you love it.
So what if it is more expensive?
The only disadvantage is the window is a bit smaller.
But having a small window isn't really a disadvantage.
There are so many perverts right now.
Using binoculars to peek at people, so immoral.
Wife, don't be like this.
I know that I wasn't able to do the task that you gave me well.
How about you just hit me? Don't be angry anymore.
Don't ignore me.
Ding Renjian,
when have you did anything right?
I heard that you also lost your job.
There is another company hiring me.
I am currently thinking if I'm going or not.
You even are still thinking if you're going or not?
You'd better think about it fast.
About that unit with a smaller window,
it's not that I haven't seen it.
Of course, I like it.
But the money we have are not enough.
Just the deposit, we have to pay ¥200,000 more. Do you have that much money?
I can have it.
I'll let my father pay it.
You're going to let your father pay it?
Fine. Your father will pay for the extra ¥200,000.
You pay for the monthly payment.
This matter is decided then. What do you think?

♫ This world is very big, but I'm very tiny ♫
♫ I want to run into you ♫
