Granting You A Dreamlike Life Episode 23
Why are you going out so early? Why aren't you resting up a bit?
I'm going to look for a job.
Look for a job?
Even though the rent here isn't too high, after all, I can't perform right now.
I don't have an income. How can I sit idle and live on nothing.
Even if you can't live off nothing, what about Tian Ci. He's a man with hands and feet.
He can clearly go look for a job.
Why is he letting such a gentle woman like you go out to earn a living?
You can't perform does that mean that he can't perform?
The main thing is that my brother is still worried about losing face if he runs into other drama troupes.
After all, he should be the manager of our theater troupe.
He's afraid of losing face? You're the troupe's star.
You can lower yourself to go earn a living. Why can't he? Depending on a woman to provide for him, is he even a man?
Don't talk like that about my brother. He is my brother after all.
I'm afraid he doesn't think like that.
Listen to me Tian Ying, you better be on guard around him.
What are you saying?
If you have nothing else important to say then I'm leaving.
Where are you going to look for a job. I will send you
No need, I will take a rickshaw.
Can you put aside your pride for a second?
You have money for a rickshaw, but don't have money to buy breakfast?
That's because I'm not hungry. You are not hungry? Then what where doing standing over there for a long time?
Niu's fried dumplings.
Did you think I came to see you with nothing in my hands? Others may present flowers to Buddha.
I'm presenting Buddha with fried dumplings.
I will pay you.
Pay what?
Do you still remember the first time we met? I snatched your dumplings, this can be considered as returning them.
You still remember?
Of course I remember. A girl who risked her life fora bag of fried dumplings? Of course that made a deep impression.
Come, get on!
I will take you to look for a job
There's really no need. I...
Are you getting on or not?
Hurry. I don't want to delay your business matters.
Get on.
Hold on tight. Ok
Stop. Luo Fu Sheng I'm telling you to stop.
Eh, eh, eh. Okay. Okay. Okay
Weren't you just fine. Why are you angry?
I'm just taking you to look for work, right?
Just now that shop was very good, why didn't we go in?
The shop's fengshui [atmosphere] isn't good. It won't bring you good luck.
Then what about the one next to it?
The shop next door had such a dirty sign;
that signifies the environment inside would be dank; besides, it could be a black market shop.
Luo Fusheng, you really didn't bring me here to look for work. You brought me to pass work by.
Tian Ying, you should know that I'm very particular. I'm just trying to help you find a good job.
I know you are doing it for my well being.
But right now I am looking for work. I'm not you. Other people are begging to you. I am relying on others' charity.
I'm not like you.
Even if you are relying on someone else, you should still be more confident.
You are my (Luo Fu Sheng's) friend.
With my support, I would like to see which boss dares to bully you.
What I am most afraid of is this.
Luo Fu Sheng, I don't want you to support me anymore?
I also don't want to let people know,
That I'm your friend. Why?
Will letting people know that I am your friend make you lose face?
That's really turn my good intentions into something malicious.
I don't mean it that way.
I...I don't want to lead my life under your protection.
I want to use my own efforts to earn a living.
That way I can feel more at peace with myself.
Interesting.
Tian Ying
I see now that you are one of those silly girls who don't like to cut corners.
There aren't that many like that.
Go ahead and make fun of me.
Anyway, my father said, if a person cuts corners in life,
sooner or later, he'll fall to the ground.
The matter of looking for a job: let me work it out, okay?
Okay, of course it's okay.
That way, you'll save some time for me. Do you think that the Hong family doesn't have things to do every day?
How can I spare the time to follow you around?
Again,
That's clearly turning pleasant words on their head.
Luo Fu Sheng, I know you are concerned about me.
Is it that obvious?
Then, next time I'll change my approach.
Tian Ying, I believe in you
Even without anyone helping you,
You can still find a good job
So I won't interfere anymore this time. You can do it by yourself.
Then I'm leaving.
Bye bye
Good luck!
Young Miss, are looking for a job?
You are in luck,
That textile mill is mine. My name is Zhu.
How about this, follow me back to the factory.
You can be interviewed with the other workers.
It's ten silver dollars per month.
If you don't want to do it, there are others begging to do the work.
10 silver dollars?
Okay, thank you boss. Let's go.
We here(x2)
Ayo, Ayo, Ayo, Master Liu you are back?
Boss, didn't you say you were taking me for an interview?
- Why are we at this place? - It's inside.
There are a lot of girls waiting inside.
- Let's go. - Master Liu, lately, the girls you're finding are getting better and better.
Why don't I go? I'm leaving.
Go in!
What are you doing?
Master Hou.
Master Hou
Hey
Isn't this Long Fu Shi's headliner?
Tian Ying.
Haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you here?
I just remembered,
You lost your voice, you can't sing anymore isn't that right?
That's too pitiful. Life can really be hard.
But, don't feel discouraged.
Looking at what a pretty young girl you are, and even though your voice is injured,
you can still use your body.
I haven't seen such a spirit in a long time.
But I, Master Hou, like that kind of thing.
Let me tell you. Since you've come here, why not be under the Hou influence.
I, Third Master Hou, can forgive and forget.
Don't worry. I'll pay you twice as much as they'll give you here.
How about it, come back home with me?
I'm telling you,
Don't hesitate until you're forced to accept even worse.
Do you think you're still a popular actress?
Let me go(x2)
Come here.
Luo Fu Sheng
Are you so bored that you spend your time hitting your own brothers?
I really do have plenty of free time. So what?
Good
Listen to me,
The accounts between us are adding up. We'll wait and see how they're settled.
Let's go.
Master Hou, don't be angry.
Get lost.
Aiyo. Go, go. Let's go.
Brother. Brother, here
Be careful.
Brother what's wrong?
Why have you been getting yourself drunk these days?
Drunk? This alcohol is no different from water.
If I could actually get myself drunk,
I wouldn't have to keep thinking about Tianying leaving Dong Jiang.
Yuanyuang, tell me. Why did Tianying leave me so heartlessly?
This is outrageous!
Brother, I'll pour you a cup of water.
Look at yourself. You stink of alcohol. You look like a mess.
Because of one woman, you've become useless!
You still want to become a policeman in your state?
Look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy of becoming a policeman?
You're contradicting yourself. What a joke!
What you said is right.
Dad, thanks for this blessing. Thanks for this dictatorship of a home.
I've always been like this since I was kid.
A sad and pitiful person.
I'm really disappointed with you.
This isn't the first time I've disappointed you. I'm used to it.
The saddest thing now is that even I'm disappointed with myself!
Coward! You are coward!
You don't have a drop of the grit I had!
Look at your state. And here I thought of sending you to the police academy for training
Why did I bother? If you were to attend the police academy,
you'll bring shame upon the entire Xu Family and Dong Jiang Bureau!
Police Academy? Training?
Dad, you have to let me join the training.
What are you saying? You're drunk!
I'm not drunk. I'm completely sober right now.
Haven't you always despised us policeman?
This time you want to join the training on your own?
What trick are you trying to play?
It's exactly because I despite it that I want to go.
I get it now. Based on my little strength,
I can't change this world at all.
Since I can't change it, then I want to see
if this world can actually change me.
Do you really wish to go?
Yes.
Fine. I can give you this opportunity.
However, I must make this clear. That is not a place
that you can enter and leave as you wish.
I've been running away for too long.
This time, I definitely won't.
Good. I'll arrange it immediately.
Brother, you must buck up.
Although they say all is gold in Dong Jiang, (it's a paradise)
but actually, making a living in Dong Jiang isn't so easy.
There's always a price to pay, more or less.
And that price is unimaginable for a girl like you.
So Tian Ying don't be sad.
Actually. I am sad not because i felt wronged today.
It's because I feel like I'm not strong enough.
As I kept getting rejected while job searching, I came to realize
how hard it was for my dad to start the troupe on his own back then.
This also proves that I can't even take care of myself.
All the more an entire troupe. I'm such a failure.
Tell me was it right or wrong to stay in Dong Jiang?
Running away isn't the solution to the problem.
the ones who are afraid that end up hurt the most.
So for me, facing adversity directly
is the only way to solve the problem.
Tian Ying since you already decided to stay in Dong Jiang,
you must try your best to adapt to the rules here. Got it?
Actually I don't want to escape, I'm just very lost
Because my throat is damaged, I lost my means to make a living.
I also left the performance stage I was so proud of.
Originally, I thought I would be able to get over it quickly.
But I really am too naive.
When I was younger, I thought that my dad
Was my whole world
Then he suddenly died,
At the time, I felt that my- my entire world had suddenly collapsed.
But in the end, didn't I move on?
I never thought that you had times when you were vulnerable too.
I now no longer have any secret to keep from you.
No big deal. I'll just kill you to keep you silent.
People are really strange sometimes.
Sometimes they are so fragile that they cannot withstand a single blow, yet sometimes are firm as a rock. But I believe,
The Tian Ying I know is the latter.
Because when I first met her, I knew
she wouldn't give up in the face of fate.
No matter how many things go wrong today, she'll get past them.
Tomorrow is still a new day. I'm rooting for you.
Luo Fu Sheng, thank you for your encouragement.
I have to depend on myself to keep out the wind and rain from now on.
I won't give up so easily.
I'll continue searching for a job tomorrow. I'll keep living with pride!
Good Luck!
Xing Cheng, have you really decided you want to go?
That's right, brother.
Sometimes, confrontation is actually the best choice to make.
Why didn't you explain things to Fu Sheng clearly?
The situation isn't what you think, Brother.
Last time, in my office, you advised me
I was kind of cold to you. I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I just think that us three brothers' really long relationship
If it actually breaks like this, then it's really too bad then
Don't worry brother. I actually no longer have so much hatred towards Luo Fu Sheng.
Recently, I've been thinking
that back when I was competing with him for Tianying,
Before, whenever there was a problem, I always blamed others
instead of reviewing my own actions like I should have been.
Xingcheng, if you're able to think like that
then your older brother is so gratified. You've matured.
Not mature enough. This is maybe why
Tian Ying would not entrust her life to me.
She told me before in the letter,
If I could become the ideal cop,
maybe we could meet again one day.
Because of this, I told myself I needed to become stronger.
Going to the police academy was the best option.
If I didn't become a true man, I wouldn't return.
This is also good. If you spend some time away from Fu Sheng for a while, calm down a bit. This is also good for everyone.
I will definitely work hard.
Brother, I don't want you to have any changes
I hope that when you come back, you'll still be the original you
It's late now. I need to prepare to leave
Brother, when I'm not here you have to remember to look after my little sister.
Brat, Xing Yuan is not just your little sister she is also my little sister.
Mei Gao Mei
Brother, you finally came back, Young Master Lin has been waiting for you for a long time.
Big Brother
Your movie business has been so busy lately. How come you have the time to come here?
No matter how busy I am, my brother is more important.
What's wrong, did something happen?
Xing Cheng is leaving Dong Jiang.
Leaving Dong Jiang?
He's gone to the police academy for training.
Xingcheng just wants to improve himself. Don't overthink it.
Right, I didn't come here today to reminisce about the old days. I want to take you to go meet someone.
Who?
Wake up!
Who's this?
Tell him yourself.
What I could've said, I've already said it all.
Everyone, please spare me.
I have a family.
Silence. Open your dog eyes and look clearly,
He is the Hong Family's Second Master, Luo Fu Sheng
I never participated. I didn't do anything.
I swear, I didn't do anything.
Tell us everything you know.
Don't even leave a single word out
or else you'll be buried with them
Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
A few days ago, a long lost friend and I
were drinking. He drank a lot
and said
that he had a big hit job at Gao Mei Gao.
Shot Luo Fu Sheng
Second Master
I've already said all that I could've said.
I really only know about these things, nothing else.
Fu Sheng! - Let go!
Calm down! Calm down a bit!
Fu Sheng, calm down a bit!
How can I calm down?
If I hadn't changed clothes with Xing Cheng that day
Then the person who would have been shot would have been him.
I understand what mood you're in right now
When you were wounded, I told Ji Fei to investigate.
I had such a hard time finding this man.
If he dies, we will lose our lead.
Give me some time. I will tell Ji Fei to continue investigating.
I will definitely find the killer behind this.
Okay,
but this matter,
I have to investigate this further.
Don't worry
I need you to say to me right now
Your friend's address.
Full name
You better think carefully before you answer
Every time you say a wrong word
I will cut off a piece of your skin
to feed the dogs.
[Text On the Door: Luck]
Let's go.
When you finished the hit job,
I didn't let you leave Dongjiang
Go into hiding for a few days.
How come you're back again?
I did such a big job and you paid me so little.
You're letting me go live somewhere else? How am I supposed to live?
I'm letting you kill Xu Xing Cheng.
Since you've hurt Luo Fu Sheng
you still have the cheek to talk to me about payment?
But at the time
who knew that they would change clothing?
Don't give me excuses. I'm asking you,
the money that Xinlong establishment gave me,
you took a large portion of it
How can I do something so unethical?
You should better be concerned about yourself.
Do you know
how much danger you'll be in when you appear in Dongjiang?
Danger?
Right now all I know, is that
if I were to reveal the killer behind this,
it seems like Xinlong establishment will be in danger.
We use money to get things done.
You get what you pay for.
Don't think, just because you gave me that small amount of money you can order me around.
Let me tell you,
I can kill anyone for that money,
Including you.
Okay.
I will let the boss know. He will treat you fairly.
But you need to guarantee,
Starting from right now,
don't show your face anymore.
or else there will be a lot of trouble.
This you don't need to worry about.
Do you know?
There has never been a person
who has dared to threaten Xinlong establishment.
Consider that you are ruthless.
Tianying, if you're up let's eat breakfast!
`Tian Ying
Don't worry. I'm not that excessive like yesterday.
Tian Ying?
Tian Ying

[Joyful Sounds, Fresh Flowers Store]
Isn't your store known for having a lot of different types of flowers?
How come we still can't find something that matches?
Auntie, you've seen already
I have already shown you all the colors and styles we have.
are you still not satisfied？
Isn't it because your fresh flower shop doesn't have everything?
Wasting my time.
Ma'am,
we are the best flower shop in all of Dongjiang.
Do you mean that I'm not good?
Then do you want to sell these flowers or not?
Madam
I can see that your qipao (dress) is simple and elegant,
so I feel like you like that kind of style.
I think this bouquet
would look good with these two flowers.
You don't say,
it looks pretty good.
However, which one of these should I choose?
I see that your accessories all have cherry blossoms.
How about you use this pink one?
This one. Wrap it up please.
Okay.
Thank you, young lady. It's really rare
to meet someone who has good tastes and so knowledgeable.
Faster
Madam the flowers have been wrapped up.
Thank you.
You are welcome
Please come back again next time.
Thanks for helping me out.
Which flowers would you like to by?
I'm not here to buy flowers, I would like to ask
is your shop still hiring?
Young Miss
Hello Hello
The way you dealt with the customer earlier...
How did you think about it?
It's because I always ran in to this kind of problem before.
Since there are more and more to choices to make
Then I realised,
if you just give me two choices to make
I can make a much easier decision
I saw that that Auntie ran into the same problem as me
Instead of giving her 20 options,
why don't you just give her two choices instead?
She can make an easy decision
Smart.
This is?
This is the boss.
Boss, may I ask, is your shop still hiring?
Tomorrow 8am you can start working here, okay?
Thank you very much, Boss!
I aware that all of you have come from all over the country.
I also know,
your families are exceedingly well off and honouble.
But here in this training camp
everything will start anew. Here
I don't care what kind of grades you got before.
For me, you're all new students.
That's only one way for you to prove yourself.
To get into the allotted quota here through
passing the training and examination. The rest of you who did not pass.
will then roll up your sleeping mats and get out. Understand?
Yes!
Wait!
Me too, instructor.
Get lost.

Full name
Xu Xing Cheng is present
Do you know that you are half an hour late in reporting?
I'm sorry, instructor. My train was a bit late.
So I got onto the next train immediately.
There was no delay at all. I will not be late next time,
Late is late.
You don't need to give me excuses.
All of you are to remember this. We are police personnel.
If a victim loses his life because you are late,
are you going to explain to the bereaved family? Is there any meaning at all?
For us, time is equal to life.
Even half an hour, even a few seconds
is a matter of life or death. Do you understand?!
Yes, Instructor!
Trainee Xu Xingcheng. Run 10 rounds as punishment for being late in our first gathering.
Yes! - I haven't finished talking.
Take you luggage
Carry it with you and run 10 rounds.
You're not willing to? It's okay if you're not willing, but
then you can go take your luggage and go from there
to there.
The main door is always open for you.
Just one look at you and I know that you are one of those young masters from a wealthy family.
Give up if you can't complete our training.
- Go back, go back. - Give up. - Yeah, go back.
You'll never make it here.
Everyone at attention.
Turn right!
Keep a close eye on that dandy.
Don't let him slack off.
Until he's finished running
no one can take a break.
This money,
is for the brothers.
Of course,
it's for you too.
You want it? - Yes.
Avoiding?
[Xing Long Guan]
I don't know anything, I didn't see anything. I don't know, I don't know anything.
I remember, he... he had no face whatsoever.
Yes, yes
He's wearing a mask.
He wants me, Huqi,
to meet him a noon on 6th at our family's harbor.
From the departed soul of the one you wanted to kill but didn't manage to.
Pretty boy.
Today, this day,
you caused us to stand as punishment under the scorching sun.
Very good.
I am a very vengeful person.
From now onward,
it is my pleasure to have you here.
I will ravage you at every given opportunity
until you leave.
What are you doing?
This girl is not bad looking.
Girlfriend?
Give it back.
Tell me
- She used to be. - Used to be?
This guy is an affectionate person.
Still keeping the photo of your former girlfriend.
Have a look.
She does have some good looks.
Don't know with which young master is she having a clandestine affair with now.
Give it to me and shut up!
What are you doing? - What are you doing? - Let go of me!
What's happening?
So loud.
No one's tired, huh?
If you're not tired then go out and practice.
Xing Cheng, what's happened?
You let someone hit you?
Tell me, who hit you?
Reporting to Instructor,
I fell down myself.
Are you sure?
Okay.
Try and be more intelligent next time.
Instructor, I need to discuss something with you.
Mm.
Is it very strange?
Who am I?
When the gun was fired at my brother
he didn't die immediatately.
He had to suffer great pain before dying.
This is obviously to avenge me.
Because I send someone to kill you then.
Right,
Luo Fu Sheng...
Since I'm already here,
Whether to kill me or to flay me, I'm all yours.
Kill you?
Don't be so cheap.
You're still of some use.
Say for example, to lure the manager of Xing Long Guan
here.
I belong to Xing Long Guan.
The manager of Xing Long Guan
is our boss.
My boss will not come here.
Kill me if you have the guts to.
Come on!
A band of brothers who live through life and death together.
You even saved his life before.
Fom what I understand,
Qian Kuohai will not be
disloyal to you.
Brother,
I found a job.
Really? That's great!
Where? - At a flower shop.
That's really good. How much does the boss pay you per month?
I was too busy being happy and forgot to ask about the salary.
Such an important matter, how come you forgot to ask?
Whatever it is, this is a good start. We'll have some income at last.
Brother, I will support you now before you get a job.
What, what's the matter?
Nothing. This is a happy event. Happy event.
Then I'll first go put my bag down and we can go eat together.
I will not hide my true identity no matter what circumtances befall me.
I am the manager of Xing Long Guan, Qian Kuohai.
The Master who has made an appointment to meet me
please show yourself.
Sure enough, Manager Qian is a real man.
You kept to the appointment.
You really
did come to the appointment all by yourself.
Those of us who travel the world abide by the code of righteousness.
I will definitely help if my brother is in trouble.
And, you hurt so many of my brothers
and capture Hu Qi.
Name your conditions.
Manager Qian. Truly you are an honourable man who has a short memory.
Look at this mask.
Do you really not recognize me?
Unless you are telling me it wasn't you who send someone to Mei Gao Mei
come to kill me?
Right now in Dongjiang, a talent like you
could only be you. Luo Fusheng, the Second-in-Command of the Hong family.
Boss Qian.
Are you confessing to your crime?
Crime?
We are from Jianghu.
Fighting and power struggles are all in a day's work for us.
Yes, you're right.
Fighting and power struggles are common in the world.
However, what is abnormal is
the one who Boss Qian wanted to kill wasn't I, Luo Fusheng,
but Young Master Xu of the Xu family.
