[Old Boy]
[Episode 32]
I've been waiting for a new episode for a long time.
I'm going to bring it in to quiz those monkeys tomorrow.
You're thinking about lessons so late at night?
Isn't dating your top priority right now?
You should think about how to dress up and look gorgeous.
Where am I going to buy clothes in the middle of the night?
Did you come from ancient times?
Who still buys clothes at the mall? Everybody shops online now.
Let me teach you.
Install this app and you can shop 24/7.
No need to thank me. I'm heading to bed. Bye!
Come back.
Listen, don't progress too fast in your relationship with Shi Fei.
Shi Fei and I are just a show.
We've only gone as far as holding hands and hugging.
You're kidding.
Weren't you two in a hurry to have kids?
Lin Xiao Ou, what was the deal with
the flirty glances between you and Wu Zheng at Shi Fei's house?
Everybody can see something's going on between you two.
You two are the ones hiding something.
Goodnight.
She leaves with that?
Don't you have the day off? What are you busy with?
I'm updating my blog while I have time.
I'm comparable to Big V.
If I don't update, I'll lose followers.
You'd better be careful.
If you update too often, you'll also lose followers.
You look as cheerful and lighthearted as a minuet.
I'm busy this morning. Take care of breakfast on your own.
Sure.
Have you developed a habit?
It's not for myself.
It's your romance expenditure.
Why would you get money for my romance? Is this extortion?
Think about it. You give me 200 yuan and I'll find a place to hang out.
I'd be giving you space to date and saving you money and energy.
What do you have against this?
Save the talk from now on.
Take your 200 yuan.
- Buy yourself some food. - Okay.
Hold up.
What?
When you come back, take a look at the window sill.
If there's a flower pot up there, that means I'm in the house.
So... you can go for a stroll. Don't come up yet.
You can come back when the flower pot isn't there.
Remember, flower pot means I'm here.
All right.
I learned another trick.
Old warrior, you do have experience.
I took your money to save you from trouble. So I'll do as you say.
You must all be tired from the previous classes.
Okay, then let's take it easy.
I'll let you watch an American drama.
Television?
All right. This teacher is awesome.
Lower your voice. You think she can't hear you?
So what?
Miss, where did you rip this raw video from?
Just watch.
Let me confirm something with you two first.
Does our old boys club still exist?
Yes!
- Friends forever. - Yes!
No matter where we end up
our old boys club will always be a haven for our soul.
Good. Someone happened to send me top-quality Australian oysters by air.
I also have chilled fine white wine.
Let's have a drink later. It's been a long time.
No, I can't. I'm having lunch with Ye Zi.
You...
I can't either.
I have to go to the school this afternoon to catch Lin Xiao Ou for a movie.
What's... this?
We're falling apart in under five seconds?
Haven't we always been swearing oaths one second then breaking ties the next?
- We really are like that. - My gosh.
You two are terrible.
I spent the first half of my life with you two.
Are you two going to wash your hands of the latter half of my life?
Here's an idea.
Post a notice on your door to hire a beautiful female barista assistant.
Given your good looks, you'll have a stampede coming in within 30 minutes.
Am I in such poor taste?
You two have been mooching off me over the years and never settled the tab.
Have I said anything? Now you're leaving me be?
I'm going to be late. I have to go.
Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.
I'm definitely giving you a ride.
I'm leaving now.
Are you kidding? You're just going to leave?
These people.
All right. Did you have fun watching this episode?
Yes.
Great! We have something even more fun coming up.
Let's have a simple listening quiz based on the plot.
I knew there must be a catch!
Miss, you're testing us with a raw video?
There weren't even any captions! How can we answer?
That's right.
Did you previous listening exams have any captions?
Anyway, I have 10 questions.
If you can answer at least six questions correctly
you'll have passing marks for this semester's listening exams.
Ms. Lin, look. I wasn't really paying attention just now.
Americans talk so fast. There was a lot I couldn't understand.
Can you play it again?
Yes, play it again.
Generally speaking, you won't get a second chance to listen.
However, this is my first time testing you in this manner.
So, I'll play it again.
If you finish early, you can turn in your answers and leave early.
Listen carefully.
I don't have much to offer
so try a taste of tea that a student of mine grew in the mountains.
Thank you.
I just came to take a look.
Letting Xiao Ou develop her skills here wouldn't be too bad.
I didn't notice during the interview so I didn't know she is your daughter.
I asked her why she stopped working at Wharton.
I have no complaints about her professional abilities.
She's just a bit stubborn.
She should gain some more experience out in the world.
Ms. Lin has an affinity with the students and has unique and novel teaching ideas.
She's only been here a week but is already well-immersed.
Don't worry. I will pay attention to her.
If she can adjust here, then just let her work here.
I didn't come here as her previous boss, but as her father.
I came to ask that you be sure to have high demands of her.
Don't give her special treatment.
No problem. I will treat her the same as I treat other teachers.
Seeing Ms. Lin, it's clear you taught her well.
Playing a game?
You're not here to pick me up, are you?
When is your teacher coming out?
It's still early. Take your time waiting.
Our last two periods were English and we had a listening exam.
I finished early and handed in my paper so I got to leave early.
There are still students hard at work inside.
Can you pass the English listening exam?
You even handed it in early?
Were you able to answer? Did you turn in a blank paper?
Don't worry about my English.
I passed.
This is the difference between us.
You can practice while you wait for your girlfriend. Bye now.
- Bye, Ms. Lin. - Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Ms. Lin. - Bye. Good work today.
Hi, Handsome Uncle.
How come you're here? Didn't I tell you I was busy?
I also said I'd wait however long it took.
Are you here for business or personal matters?
For business, Xiao Han has been doing well lately
so there's nothing to discuss.
What about personal matters?
I remember that last night you owed me a--
Let's not discuss personal matters here.
I'm very busy. Go home and wait to hear from me.
No, wait. I can wait however long it'll take.
But these two movie tickets can't wait.
This begins in half an hour. I've been waiting outside for an hour.
Who said I would go to the movies with you?
You acted first without consent.
That was wrong of me
but while we're watching the movies
we'll also be supporting China's movie industry.
What movie is it? You make it sound like we have a calling.
I'm usually busy and don't have time to spend with you. Right?
This movie just came out.
It's a suspense thriller, a real mind bender.
That sort of film doesn't work on me.
You just want me to get scared while watching and jump into your arms.
Spot on.
Very good.
Dad? How come you're here?
I came to see Principal Yuan.
Oh, is that so?
Your mom called you several times asking you to go home but you've refused.
I came by to see you.
Let's go. You're finished with work, yes? Come home with me for dinner.
No, I can't. I have business to attend to later.
Aren't you Xiao Han's father?
How has your child been doing lately?
How come you're here? Is your child in trouble?
Principal Yuan, Principal Ou.
Xiao Han has been doing well.
I came today to...
I made an appointment with him to discuss Xiao Han's status after the transfer.
Dad, we'll be leaving now.
Goodbye, Principal.
Ms. Lin, I checked that question he was working on last time.
I used a calculator.
First, 32 multiplied with 32. Do you think...
How come you're riding this?
The weather is nice today. We'll ride a bike.
It's rush hour right now. This will be faster than being in traffic.
Cars aren't as environmentally-friendly.
You can revisit your youth as you ride in the back.
Youth? That's been long gone for you.
Come, sit tight.
Please get on.
I haven't been on one in a long time.
- Okay, go! - One, two, three, go!
Here we go! Sit tight.
Why don't I go explain to your dad?
No. Wait here for me.
Principal Ou! What a coincidence to run into you here.
This is the business you need to attend to?
Is this how you usually interact with your students' parents?
I finally understand why you came to Yucai High.
I thought too highly of you.
Dad, you don't understand the situation. Don't speak so irresponsibly.
I don't understand?
Just now, I even said to Principal Yuan
it would be good for you to gain experience at Yucai.
But I can't believe you didn't do this for work or to prove yourself.
You...
You did it to get close to Xiao Han's father.
You are only half correct.
I admit it was Wu Zheng who suggested I apply to work at this school.
But he only provided me with one piece of information.
I'm staying at this school for the future of my career, not for him.
You won't believe what I say anyway though.
Of course I won't.
You two are a teacher and a parent.
This is absolutely outrageous.
You just came out of a relationship. How could you be with...
a father with such an old son?
An unstable relationship will introduce problems into your career.
Dad, you're much too opinionated.
Ever since I graduated, you have been protecting me.
Whether I excel or fail, it is never a reflection of my true abilities.
I want to experience the world outside.
Can you stop holding my hand?
Let go.
I know.
Xiao Ou, back at Wharton
I never shielded you.
That's why you want to leave and experience the world.
Okay, I'll let go. I respect your decision.
But as a father, I can't just watch as you get carried away because of love.
Do you know you've committed a basic mistake?
Dad, I know you're worried about me
because I was hurt in my last relationship.
But this time, I really haven't let love get to my head.
I know what kind of person I want
what kind of relationship I want
and what kind of future I want.
I've already grown up.
I can take my future into my own hands.
Your dad is mad, isn't he?
No. That's just how he looks.
- Let's go watch the movie. - No, no.
It started over 10 minutes ago. Let's forget about it.
- Then... - How about this?
Let's get a replenishment on food for thought.
I'll treat you to dinner. Let's go.
All right.
Come again.
I got it.
All right.
Take care.
What are you doing?
See to the customers. Why are you taking pictures?
Listen to me. Be quick.
Get to it. What are you doing?
- There are customers. - Coming.
- Welcome. - Hi.
What do you want to eat?
Just make something with whatever fresh vegetables you have.
What do you want to eat?
Anything is fine as long as it is low on oil and salt.
She wants less oil and less salt.
Miss, have you been working out lately?
I regularly exercise.
I do aerobics workouts two to three times a week
swim once in a while
and I've been boxing lately.
Wow, beautiful women sure are different.
However, I think exercise alone isn't enough to maintain a nice figure.
You must complement that with an appropriate diet.
For example...
This is the hottest fat loss supplement.
Not only does it effectively control fat but also boost metabolism.
Would you like to try it?
No, that's all right, thank you.
Three dishes, right?
This fat loss supplement sounds interesting. Can you elaborate?
Sure.
We have a complete system available.
This is our fat loss tea.
Drinking a bottle day and night can give your body more vitamins.
Wait a moment.
There's more?
This is our fat loss powder.
Taking it after each meal every day can boost your metabolism.
It is safe and effective.
How much is a bottle of the diet juice? I'll take a bottle.
These come in a set. They're not sold individually.
All right, how much in total? I'll take a set.
Just one set?
One set first to try it out.
Original price is 250 yuan. Today is a discounted price of 180 yuan.
Sure.
You don't have to spend money. I don't need this.
It's vegetable juice. It won't cause problems. Just drink it like juice.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, Lei Lei?
I told you not to sell these here!
He wanted to buy it.
I told you not to promote these things here.
- You... - Old man.
I wanted to buy this. I'm on a diet right now.
If I didn't want it, I wouldn't have bought it no matter how she hyped it up.
It's true. This is a good product.
Let's not talk about this. I bought it.
Make a few dishes with the fresh vegetables you have today.
I brought a friend today.
We have fresh vegetables. You...
Hello.
This lady is so pretty.
- This is? - My girlfriend.
Your girl...
Your girlfriend!
You have such good taste, Wu Zheng.
You're not young anymore. You should find a nice girlfriend to settle down with.
The lady is so pretty. I know just what to cook.
I'll make a few light dishes. How does that sound?
- Please do. - Thank you.
How much did this cost?
I really did want this. Go back to work.
I'll give you back the money later.
Lei Lei, hurry and return the money to Wu Zheng.
Why should I, Dad?
I earned this money.
I didn't force him to buy it.
Besides, who gives money back after a sale? That's not how you do business.
How many times has your mom told you not to promote your diet products here?
Why are you so disobedient?
Do you not plan on living at home anymore?
Dad, why are you just like Mom?
It's not easy for me to do business either. Can't you support me?
I can't support you. This is my restaurant.
I have my code of conduct.
Lei Lei, please. Return the money.
- No. - You won't?
If you won't, I'll close this restaurant down.
This father and daughter are interesting.
The father is so courteous but the daughter is so rude.
Where there is a kind mother, there is a useless son.
Where there is a kind father, there is a useless daughter.
It's an old saying.
I heard from Shi Fei that this is your usual food spot.
Are you close with the old man and his family?
Closer than you imagine.
You have such patience with the woman.
It's not just because of the old man, is it?
How come it sounds like someone's jealous?
Have some water to wash that down.
I'm not jealous of her.
She is definitely not your cup of tea.
You're right. So long as you can tell.
Besides, those who fall for me have better tastes than most.
Enough, you.
Here, I'll let you return what I just sold to you.
No, no need to return. I'm giving this to someone.
How can you ask for what you just sold?
Take the money.
Then please tell my dad
you don't want to return it, not that I'm not letting you. Okay?
- Okay. - Enjoy.
You have such patience with her.
If you have no interest in her, then she must have something on you.
I'll tell you all about it later.
Dig in first before the food gets cold.
Come on, eat.
The old man made these just for you. These are all such light dishes.
How come I feel as if I'm entering the tiger's lair?
What did you have to tell me at home?
You've been here so many times.
You used to be like a lively tiger.
How come you turn into a little sheep when you're dating?
That's not nice to point out.
If I were a tigress, would you pay me any attention?
Come.
Sit. Let me show you someone.
This is my mom in the picture.
I want her to see you.
Mom, this is Lin Xiao Ou. I brought her to see you.
Isn't Xiao Ou pretty?
Hello, Auntie.
Your mom was so beautiful.
Where's your dad?
My dad?
It's the old man at the Old Street Bistro downstairs.
He's supposedly my birth father.
He abandoned my mom and I when I was three years old.
I haven't seen him in over 30 years.
He showed up out of nowhere recently and opened a bistro near our house.
I don't know if I should acknowledge him.
That old man is your dad?
He opened a restaurant near your house?
Isn't this a real-life "Lurk"? (Spy novel)
So the one who just sold a product to you...
Younger sister from another mother.
Can your life be more like a drama?
When did you find out?
- Just recently. - Why didn't you reunite?
All my life, I've never known the concept of a father.
I never thought of finding him.
I don't know how it feels to have a father either.
Of course, I never thought about being a father to someone else.
When Xiao Han first appeared, I didn't know how to be a good father.
After spending more time with Xiao Han
I slowly discovered the feeling of being a father.
Since you know the feeling now and know the old man's identity
how come you're not reuniting with him?
I think it might be better to just watch from afar.
It's been so many years.
Instead of becoming enemies as father and son
why not just be friends instead?
I can take a look at him from afar when I want to see him.
I think this is the way the old man has chosen to interact with me.
I think your mom must've been a very sensible person
to have raised you to be this way.
You want to say where there is a kind mother, there is a useless son.
Actually, my mom was quite lax with me.
My mom was very, very busy.
I was basically given free rein.
But if I did something wrong, she would be very strict.
Even so, she couldn't have been more strict than my dad.
I've lived under his shadow since I was a child.
Principal Ou's daughter must be number one.
The principal's daughter must be outstanding.
My dad always compared me to other children.
That's why I had established my goal to be a teacher ever since I was a child.
A teacher who is different from him.
Then you should thank him.
It was because of his imperceptible influence
that you weren't led astray
and instead brought you even closer to your goal.
Speaking of this, I'm really sorry
to have caused the unpleasantness between you and your dad today.
It's okay. That's just how he is. He'll be fine after a few days.
I've been a father for a while after Xiao Han came into my life.
I really think being a parent isn't easy.
You won't understand your parents until you've raised children.
In truth...
In truth, I think you should show your dad more understanding.
You can't keep treating him in that way.
It's not that I don't understand him.
I just hope the two men I care most about can accept each other.
You have so many good qualities. I'll make him see them.
The two men you care most about?
Trust me. I will do a good job so that your dad accepts me.
Keep going, keep going...
Stop there!
Come back here. Where are you going?
It's not that appropriate for me to be here right now.
Then why did you come back?
You picked this very moment to come back. What is your point?
Talk.
Are you losing your temper at me?
Yes! What did you mean by this?
Fine.
Did you put out the flower pot? Did you follow the procedure?
Did you give the secret code?
Did you get excited and forget everything we said before?
Aren't you sorry to lose your temper at me?
I forgot, all right?
That's enough, you two. Why are you talking in riddles?
I'm leaving.
Ms. Stepmom, bye.
I swear I won't say that at school.
Don't be late to school.
Take care.
What were you saying?
She was even blushing.
Nice. You could still pay attention while losing your temper.
This kid just doesn't stop causing trouble.
- What are you doing? - How does it look?
Does it look good? It's a new purchase.
Wow! You bought so much.
You got another big case?
Your poor clients.
They're like sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
I shopped online. These can all be paid for in installments.
I can take my time earning money
but my beauty cannot wait.
Look. Does it seem like my belly slimmed down a bit?
Lift up your skirt to show me.
Shameless.
Wu Zheng has turned you into a bad girl.
How far have you and Wu progressed?
Not so far that I have to worry about my belly.
Let me feel it.
Not bad! Your exercise the past few days has been working!
- Really? - I can even feel your abs.
Firm, right?
Besides exercise, you need to watch your diet too.
Try this.
What's this?
This is made with extracts from natural fruits and vegetables.
I heard it has many vitamins.
It can help you lose fat and boost metabolism. It does no harm.
Does no harm?
This doesn't even have a batch number.
This is a non-certified product.
No way.
I heard this is used by many performing artists.
It should be okay. The ingredients are all natural.
You really pay no attention to the outside world.
This non-certified product will make you gain weight
and is harmful to your health.
Who gave it to you?
Wu Zheng.
His sister.
Wu Zheng has a sister?
Ms. Wang.
You've been in charge of the freshman Class 1 for almost a year.
Can you tell me anything about Xiao Han's father?
This matter is quite well-known in our school.
Xiao Han has a very good foundation.
Before his mother passed away, he was always an outstanding student.
Later, he went to his pilot father
and his studies took a nosedive.
He began to be tardy, leave school early
not pay attention in class, and not turn in homework.
I think his father...
is the root of his decline.
It seems one's environment has a large impact.
I've made a transfer to you.
- Accept it. - What is it?
The money I owe you.
Accept it quickly.
If you forget and return it to me, I won't own up to my debt.
Give me back my IOU.
Why? It's hanging on my wall.
Vicious.
How have you and Lin Xiao Ou been?
It's as you saw the other day.
Why are you so nosy?
I'm not nosy. I'm grateful.
Thank you for stealing her from me or else I wouldn't have met Ye Zi.
We both sort of regret not having met earlier.
Do you know where we usually go on our dates?
Where else? The usual places.
You're getting dirty thoughts.
We go to furniture stores now.
We look at furniture and renovation materials.
I never imagined such a shrewd lawyer
would look at furniture and make design plans.
Look at you.
You're obviously in love.
You're radiating happiness.
Look at me, a closed book. You can't see any changes in me.
You're the expert.
I'm pleased things are going well for you two.
So is Fei Wen Li still harassing you?
She hasn't contacted me in days.
Fei Wen Li.
I knew that ice box was yours.
Chief Purser, you haven't left yet?
I've been waiting for you.
You're being so sneaky. Tell me what you have in there.
This is special cancer medication I'm helping a friend bring back.
It needs be in cold storage so I used the refrigerator.
Has this refrigerator become your personal storage?
I normally turn a blind eye when you guys use it for ice cream and cakes.
Now you're taking this even further!
No, Chief Purser. I brought this back for a friend. It's to save a life.
Please be lenient.
I'll let this slide. This better not happen again.
- Boss, check. - Coming.
- You're going? - I got it.
How much will this be?
- 35 yuan. - 35 yuan.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
All right.
Have a good day.
Boss, the flavor of this eggplant is very unique.
Do you have a special recipe?
No, it's just normal eggplant.
If you like it, come by more often and show us some support.
Go take a break.
- Hello? - I'll clean this.
Wen Li?
There's no rush.
I'm eating at a small eatery nearby.
I'll go upstairs later and leave them a message
and then wait for you outside your place.
Okay. You have the key to my place. Just wait inside.
Okay. Wen Li?
Buying the medication for me didn't cause you any trouble at work, did it?
Don't worry, it hasn't. I know what I'm doing.
I feel so apologetic.
We can't let Wu Zheng know either. I'm asking so much of you.
Auntie Wen, don't say that. I'm happy to help.
All right, I'll see you later.
- Boss, the check. - I got it.
- Take a break. - How much will it be?
30 yuan.
Here you go.
No need for change.
Thank you.
Where is she from?
She doesn't seem to come eat out often.
She asked you so many questions.
That's a big profit.
What's wrong?
An old lover?
Who? Mine?
What is that nonsense?
I've been away for over 30 years.
Not very many people here know me.
That's strange then.
It was like a spy film.
You must be crazy.
If you don't believe me, you can ask her when she comes again.
Honestly.
Where's Lei Lei? How come I haven't seen her all day?
She's upstairs playing with her diet teas.
You're a liar.
When she was young, you said she'd stay sweet and close to me when she grew up.
The older she gets, the more of a worry she becomes.
You two.
You keep harping on about her when she isn't here
but can't stand her when she is back.
You two aren't like mother and daughter.
You two are foes with a grudge.
- Bye, Miss. - Goodbye.
Ms. Lin!
- Are you going to my house today? - Bye, Miss!
If you are, I'll make myself scarce.
We're at school. Watch your behavior.
I'll phrase it differently. Wu Zheng has a lot of free time today.
Why don't you have a friendly discussion with him about my future studies?
I don't have time. Don't make such jokes from now on.
Who's joking with you? Our door is always open for you.
I'm taking off! Bye!
Hello, Mom. What is it?
Can you finally come home for dinner?
It must be a setup. I'm not going.
You're mad at your dad.
You shouldn't avoid seeing me.
The weekend begins tomorrow.
Last week, you said you were busy with work
but you should show up this weekend.
I'll consider coming home when Dad isn't so rude and unreasonable.
Look at you. You have the exact same temper as your dad.
Listen, this morning, your dad told me
we should make some fried lotus root in the next few days.
Do you hear that? That's your favorite.
It's all for you.
This shows he has already conceded.
Come home quickly. Quit while you're ahead.
Fine. Just for dinner.
If he lectures me, I'll leave right away.
[Old Boy]
