[Old Boy]
[Episode 16]
Yi Fu, I'm sorry.
Don't worry about apologizing for now.
Besides, there are many ways to apologize.
Here, this is what you ought to pay.
- What are you doing? - Give it to me!
Kid, don't be stupid!
- Stop it! Let go! - Are you acting out again?
Uncle, he has a bone fracture, right? An eye for an eye!
You can break both my hands! If that's not enough, break my leg too!
Get out of here!
What kind of attitude is that? Is that how you apologize?
Enough, enough.
You two can stop the act.
Xiao Han, you put him in the hospital and now you come to wreak havoc.
Do you have any manners?
And you. What do you teach your child?
Xiao Han hurt Wang Yi Fu and he is indeed in the wrong.
However, I also looked into the situation.
Xiao Han wasn't the one who started it.
As parents, we shouldn't be taking sides. We should stick to the facts.
Do you think you and I can communicate on the same level?
Leave. You're not welcome here.
We have done wrong.
We will certainly cover the medical costs.
Once again, we're sorry.
Go.
Thank you.
Sorry for embarrassing you today.
I didn't think Wang Yi Fu's dad would be so unreasonable.
A lot of people at the library witnessed it. He started it first.
Go to school.
- Sir, here's the fare. - Okay.
Hello, Ms. Lin.
That student's parent is very uncooperative.
I think that as a teacher and on behalf of the school
you should investigate the truth of this matter with me
and not let the innocent suffer an injustice.
That is my duty as a teacher. Please rest assured.
I am handling it right now.
Okay, it's good that you think this way.
We'll keep in touch. Goodbye.
Hello.
You're not home or at Yue's.
You're not really a prisoner at the flight office, are you?
I'm taking the day off for something I have to do.
I have serious news. It might be a shock when you hear it.
Hurry back. I'll tell you in person.
I have an important meeting.
If you have that much free time, you can wait for me at Yue's.
Excuse me.
- Hello. - Hello.
Ms. Lin, do you need something?
Yes, I came to view the library's surveillance recording.
No problem. Please show me the principal's permission slip.
Looking at a surveillance tape requires the principal's permission?
Yes, it's not just a permission slip. It must be signed by the principal.
Otherwise, nobody can watch it.
But it really was the principal who sent me here.
He wants to see yesterday's recording of the library between 4:30 p.m to 5 p.m.
It might prove a student's innocence.
I came in a hurry and didn't get his signature.
You really spoke with the principal?
Why would I lie to you? Why don't you call him?
- You can ask him. - Never mind.
You're a teacher. I trust you. Come with me.
- Are you sure you don't need to call? - Yes, really. Come.
Okay.
- Ms. Lin, take a look. - Thank you.
- Mr. Wu. Please sit. - It's okay.
We are very happy with your resume.
We have also taken note of your demands.
We can send your file to Headquarters this afternoon.
If everything goes well
you will need to go to Headquarters in the next few days
for a standard pre-employment test.
No problem.
I will email you the details as soon as possible.
- Will you have the time? - It won't be a problem.
All right, then. Please go home and wait to hear back.
- I wish you luck. - Thank you.
- Yue. - Come on in.
You're eating already?
Perfect timing. You can pay the bill.
Steak?
Seeing it makes me angry.
Look at what you did last time.
Last time? I'll treat you to a big meal next time.
That's sugarcoating it.
Don't spoil us rotten.
Seafood is spoiling you two? Then your standards are too low.
No matter how much you're struggling, you shouldn't let the child suffer.
How is he suffering?
If I can give him kebabs, I won't let him have porridge.
If he tells me he wants to eat steak every day?
No problem. He can get another dad.
How about two coffees? These are freshly-ground beans.
Yue, don't waste good coffee on him.
Tell him to leave when he's done.
Don't concern yourself with my son. Get your own.
I want to be his godfather. I'm not stealing your son.
Besides, what's bad about getting a rich dad?
You want a godson? Figure out how to be a husband first.
How's this? Let me handle Xiao Han's school affairs from now on.
I'm sure I'll be able to wear down Lin Xiao Ou with my persistence.
You really do like her?
What's so good about her? She's as deranged as a mental patient.
She also likes to show off.
You two are quite similar in this regard.
When you two are together, you two can have a showdown and see who wins.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. She's just my type. Don't worry about me.
Let's talk about you now.
What's going on between you and Fei Wen Li now?
Nothing. I haven't heard from her after she left my house last time.
I have a little bit of gossip for you.
Prepare yourself.
I came across this by chance. It wasn't planned.
Look at who this is.
What is it?
- I caught her with a man at a hotel. - Let me see.
The composition is terrible.
It's so dark. You can't even see who it is.
I have a Leica. I'll lend it to you so you can take clearer pictures.
Oh, come on. Being able to recognize the person is good enough. Is it her?
What does it have to do with me?
It's great that she's found someone.
You two work in the same company and will run into each other.
- Won't it be awkward? - Right. Don't you feel awkward?
Why would it be awkward? We're just colleagues and nothing else.
People were just making a joke about the two of us but she took it seriously.
I'm quite happy that she has found someone. I should celebrate.
Yue, I'll have a steak too. It looks quite delicious.
- Remember to pay the bill. - Remember to pay the bill.
Put it on his tab.
- Hello. - Principal Ou? I am Wang Yi Fu's father.
How is the child doing?
Is there anything you need the school to do for you?
The child is fine. Thank you for asking.
We only have one request. The school must punish the offender severely.
You should get rid of the troublemakers from the school.
I suggest you expel Xiao Han immediately.
This matter must be investigated before a decision is made.
Besides, this concerns the children's future prospects.
We chose Wharton because of the orderly and harmonious learning environment.
This incident has had a big impact on Wharton.
I hope the school will not be lenient towards students with violent tendencies.
Rest assured. The school will handle this impartially.
Good. I will be waiting to hear back.
You're still playing? Take a break.
You're recuperating in a hospital. It's not a time to play.
Don't fall behind in your studies.
I know.
Dad, there's no need to make the school expel Xiao Han.
I just wanted to bring him down a notch.
Nonsense. Think about who you are and who he is.
When you see him again
you'll remember the wrongs you suffered by his hand.
I won't allow this to overshadow my son's life.
No, Dad. It actually wasn't anything humiliating.
On the contrary, I had humiliated him.
What is this? You're being too soft-hearted.
Just focus on recuperating. I'll handle the school.
How do you plan on handling that incident at the library?
Wang Yi Fu's father just called. He insists on expelling Xiao Han.
You don't plan on doing that, do you?
Expulsion is a bit severe.
But this has had a negative impact.
Xiao Han must make a public apology in front of the school.
Tell him to write an apology letter
and keep it posted on the bulletin board for a month.
Even so, I'm not sure if they will forgive him.
Isn't that punishing the right and rewarding the wrong?
I have a clear understanding of what happened.
At most, Xiao Han was acting in excessive self-defense.
But Wang Yi Fu was injured after all.
If Xiao Han exhibited a nice attitude, perhaps there was room for discussion.
But he provoked them again when he went to apologize.
I'm afraid Wang Yi Fu's dad won't let this matter rest.
He has some influence over the PTA committee and school board.
It is because of this influence that
Wang Yi Fu felt he had a right to act that way.
Xiao Han didn't do anything wrong, yet, I had forced him to apologize.
No wonder he was defiant.
You're sounding more unreasonable.
As their homeroom teacher, you should correct your mindset first.
We haven't passed judgment on this yet. Don't take on any preconceived notions.
Okay, then let me ask you this.
Does Wharton's school motto of freedom and equality still hold true?
When investigating this matter
is the school seeking the truth and the facts?
The school will remain impartial.
However, the specifics of what will be done will be up to the school.
As the principal, I naturally see a bigger picture than you do
and have to weigh all the pros and cons.
Weigh what?
Isn't it just because Wang Yi Fu's dad has sponsored the school library?
Don't patronize me with this runaround.
The entire school is watching to see how you will handle Wang Yi Fu's incident.
Your last incident hasn't been resolved yet.
Now there's another problem with your class.
This shows you're a failure as the homeroom teacher.
Go back and reflect on this.
Stay out of this incident for now.
As long as I am still their homeroom teacher
this incident will be my business.
You--
Yue, give me another.
I'm afraid I won't be able to drink such fine coffee in the future.
Exactly half a cup left.
Why won't you be able to drink it?
I might be... getting a new job.
I'll be switching to another airlines in Australia.
I might be stationed there permanently.
I saw you looking at the job listing just two days ago. That was fast.
I went to Ao Da Airlines' Shanghai office for an interview before coming here.
They were very happy with me.
Are you doing this to avoid Fei Wen Li?
Why would I avoid her?
I had the interview before coming here and hearing that gossip.
What brought about this change? You told me this a while ago.
A tree will die if moved, but a person might thrive.
I contemplated this and it makes sense.
My senior, Liu Xiao Dong, had been trying to poach me years ago.
They happen to be in need of an experienced pilot like me.
You didn't agree to it before. How come you suddenly see the light?
- Right. - Things are different now.
It used to be just me. I only had to take care of my own needs.
With Xiao Han now, there's an extra mouth to feed.
This kid eats like a young calf and his tuition is expensive.
Everything costs money.
Ao Da offers nice benefits and a high hourly rate.
I have to make a living.
Aren't you deciding on this too quickly?
It's also because something is going on at my current job.
Is your supervisor making life difficult for you?
No, he's actually helping me.
He has offended many people in the company because he's helping me.
Now they're making his life difficult.
I can't drag him down with me.
He called me in a few days ago and I wanted to straighten this out.
A lot of people were coming and going.
I wanted to bring this up to him but I couldn't get a chance.
He's quite particular.
So with you leaving...
will the three of us only be seeing each other twice a year?
Why don't you stay? You could drop by and sit around.
You could sit by the door and be a fortune cat for me.
I don't want to be a fortune cat. I'll be Guanyin Bodhisattva.
I can even get donations from worshipers who burn incense.
Stop that gibberish. You'll get struck by lightning.
What will you do about the kid?
Who was saying he wanted to be Xiao Han's godfather?
We can take turns taking care of him.
I can do that but he's your son. Teach him yourself.
I'm getting a new job. Tell me what can be done.
Why don't you leave him to me?
Viable. Come on.
Didn't you take Xiao Han to apologize? How come Wang Yi Fu's dad--
brought up a complaint with the principal?
I can't explain over the phone.
Why don't we meet up and talk in person?
Okay.
Who was that? Lin Xiao Ou?
Yes.
Didn't you mention to her that we should go out for dinner
and that I'll be handling Xiao Han's matters?
I will be letting you handle things for sure.
Shi Fei, where's the IOU I gave you last time?
It's hanging in my living room.
Hanging?
- Take out your phone. - Why?
Type out one 2 and four 0s and send it to Wu Zheng.
Then add another 20,000 yuan to the IOU.
I asked if you needed more and you said no.
Why are you asking for more now?
Enough. The one lending talks so much. The one who owes money can talk more.
What's this?
This is for the medical costs.
I want to thank you visiting Wang Yi Fu for me and even buying a fruit basket.
I didn't know so I had also bought one.
I got a taste of his dad's charm.
There was actually no need to apologize.
There was also no need to promise to pay his medical costs.
But since it's been promised, then let's keep to our word.
I also took a look at the medical bill.
This money is already the most I can do.
I'm really sorry.
I agreed to it for you on impulse.
I also don't know why a wrist fracture would require a trace elements panel.
I'll help you negotiate the specific compensation sum.
No, don't. Since we already agreed, let's not bargain.
I just heard that this has also gotten to your principal.
You're a teacher here. Don't let it affect your future.
Why don't I talk to your principal?
I believe in your moral character... just barely.
But I'm not sure about your principal.
It's hard to say whether he is cruel or lacks morals.
Our principal is most upright and plainspoken.
You're young.
It's hard to say if the principal of a school like this is a bad person.
He could have an extremely poor character.
Really. You're still young so you don't understand.
You can take your time understanding.
Where did you hear that private schools must have a lot of bad characters?
I can't say about other people but you can trust in our principal.
That's why I say you're young. You've been deceived by your principal.
Forget it.
Anyway, I'll take care of this.
If it doesn't work, I have one more trump card.
Trump card? Weren't you helpless at the hospital?
Shush. I say it'll work so it'll work.
Don't act tough.
If anything happens, contact me.
I know.
Hold on.
Here, take this back.
Don't forget the money.
Why did you buy a new pair? Don't you have it?
Take a good look. Is it your original pair?
I had broken it. It's repaired now.
You're just tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
You repaired it for me but don't have anything nice to say.
Weren't you wasting money by taking apart such expensive lens?
You old men are so unreasonable.
Didn't you say you wanted the original pair?
I have my precious treasure back. Thanks.
See you later.
The money...
Hello, Captain Zheng.
Where are you? Something important came up. Come to the office immediately.
The day is almost over. Is something the matter?
Yes, hurry.
Does it have to be right now?
Let them wait another half hour. I'm on my way.
[Courageous and compassionate] These are countryside specialties.
The eggs are from the chickens we raise ourselves! They're delicious.
You're too kind.
We wanted to come thank Captain Wu
but we wanted to wait for the child to be discharged first.
But how come I've heard Captain Wu has been suspended?
Right! Why is someone as nice as Captain Wu suspended?
- He should be rewarded instead! - That's right!
Mrs. Lin, we understand how you feel.
However, our company has a very strict system in place.
Everything has a chance of happening.
The weather conditions that day were very poor.
Fortunately, he was able to land safely.
If an accident had happened
nobody would be able to take responsibility for the hundreds of lives.
Yes, my supervisor is right.
Flight safety is very important. Anything could happen.
How's your leg?
- It's much better. - Thank him properly.
Thank you, Uncle Wu.
Our son was lucky to meet Captain Wu or else he couldn't have been saved.
Thankfully, the surgery was a success.
The boy grows quickly.
He'll be able to put aside his cane in just a few days.
That's wonderful. Heal up quickly and return to the field.
The future of soccer in China is up to you kids.
Thanks to your help, he'll be able to return to the soccer field very soon!
Good, good.
Xiao Wang, help take a picture of us.
- Right, let's sit. - Come, sir.
- Good. - Look here.
One, two, three.
Thank you, Captain Wu.
Mr. Zheng, please take Captain Wu off suspension.
Don't worry.
Watch your step.
Hello, Manager Han.
Headquarters is very pleased with your file.
We've booked roundtrip tickets for you.
We hope you can go to Australia headquarters
for an interview as soon as possible.
Okay, I'll go as soon as I can. Thank you.
All right, this will make things easy.
There's even a banner.
There's a chance of turning everything around now.
Discipline should be kept separate.
One banner doesn't mean anything.
The higher-ups probably won't change their stance.
I'll make a fuss about this.
Don't worry. Anything is possible.
However, there are procedures to go through. Wait patiently.
Captain Zheng.
Why are you hemming and hawing? You're being very strange today.
Normally, you'd be cocky that someone gave you a banner.
Do you have time?
Let's go out for drinks.
Drinks?
- Why? - Let's have a talk.
All right. I'm in a good mood. Let's have a few drinks.
Let's go.
- Here, Zheng. - Cheers.
This is to you.
Thank you for not giving up on me.
Why are you baring your soul?
We're superior and subordinate at work but brothers outside of the office.
It's not necessary to talk about this.
Another cheers.
Thank you.
What is going on?
What's the matter?
Just tell me what it is.
I... want to quit.
You're kidding. You're acting out.
I know I've been strict with you lately but it's for your own good.
I don't want you to keep making the same mistakes.
What's this? You can't take it anymore? You want to run?
No, no.
I'm not running. I don't have any complaints about you. I'm serious.
It's true.
Then it's because the company suspended you
and put someone else on your routes.
You think you were treated unfairly so you want to quit.
I know you must be upset about not getting to fly.
But haven't I been thinking of ways to help you?
Zheng, stop racking your brain.
I see it now. That day, our superior was criticizing me.
It'll be unfavorable for you to keep standing up for me.
It might even get you into trouble.
Instead of dragging us all down, why don't I just leave?
Who am I? I'm the best of our airlines.
I can fly any plane in the world.
I'll be in high demand no matter where I go.
I believe that.
You're highly skilled.
You should change your temper regardless of where you're going.
I know. I've learned my lesson. I won't make the same mistakes again.
You? I don't believe that.
What is it?
Do you have plans arranged?
Do you remember Liu Xiao Dong? He works at Ao Da Airlines.
Their airline is currently hiring a captain.
I checked it out. The terms they're offering are pretty nice.
You know my family situation.
I have a kid now who's always causing me trouble.
Earning money is the same everywhere.
Why don't I check it out over there?
Yes, you've lost wages by being suspended.
The base salary really isn't enough to support a family.
When you say this, I really have no reason to stop you.
But once you leave
we'll be another man short in the trenches.
I'll be all on my own from now on.
You can't think like that.
Think of this. With me gone, nobody will be creating trouble for you.
Maybe it'll be smooth sailing for you and get you promoted.
Is that what you really think?
I really can't bear to see you leave.
I'll just put this out there.
If you change your mind, you're welcome to come back at any time.
Thank you.
Here you are.
Okay, thank you.
- Tell me if you need anything. - Hello, welcome.
Old man, are you busy?
How come you're by yourself? Where's your son?
It's a long story.
Here, old man. Take this money.
What's this for?
I'll be away for a while.
I'll tell the kid to come here to eat.
Just make something simple but nutritious for him.
If that's not enough money, I'll pay the rest later.
This is too much.
No, take it. I'll be gone for a week at the most.
If the kid acts out during this time
well, he's young and rebellious.
Just discipline him for me.
I can't even control my own child.
I can do even less about yours.
Don't be so modest.
I've never heard you talk about your own children. How many do you have?
Just one daughter.
My daughter is also a bit unorthodox.
She's always looking at the grass on the other side of the fence.
A while ago, she said she was working as a cosmetics sales assistant.
She hasn't returned in nearly half a year.
Who knows what she's busy with?
That's how kids are these days.
Only when they encounter difficulties out there
do they realize home is the best.
All right, I'll let you get back to work. I'll be leaving Xiao Han to you.
Don't worry.
Xiao Han, are you asleep?
You can talk.
There's something I need to tell you.
You know about the job I applied for.
Ao Da Airlines has notified me that
I need to go to their headquarters in Australia for an interview.
It came up quite suddenly so I didn't get to tell you beforehand.
Flight tickets have been booked. I'm leaving tomorrow.
I'm quite happy.
I'll have a new job soon and an income.
You won't get to keep mocking me for lazing around every day.
I'll also get to visit friends over there.
It'll be a few days.
If you need to eat during this time
you can go to the old man's restaurant.
I left money with him.
Don't try to save money on food.
Eat what you want. Don't eat junk food.
I'll leave you with 1,000 yuan.
You can use this in case of emergency.
If it's not enough, go find Uncle Shi. Got that?
How come I can't hear from you any joy from having a new job soon?
Do you find it disloyal and dishonorable to leave your company like this?
Says who? I just want to change my way of living.
You won't understand the feeling of returning to the blue skies.
Besides, I'm quite happy.
Someone gave me an honorable banner today.
Our manager immediately hung it up on the wall.
I'm on top of the world.
You're not going to leave and never come back, are you?
You said you were taking care of me until I turn 18.
I can't be watching you like a hawk every day.
You're not a baby.
Besides, Ao Da Airlines has high demands of their captains.
I might not necessarily pass the interview.
Um... Thank you for the noodles.
They smell quite good.
Your cooking has improved.
Don't change the subject.
You even spanked me at the hospital today.
Why aren't you talking about that?
I didn't actually hit you. It was just for show.
I remember I hit your backpack.
You hit me. I say you did so you did.
If I score poorly on exams, it's because you hit me and gave me a concussion.
Fine, all right.
I'm leaving tomorrow. Remember this.
Do not cause anymore trouble during this time. Okay?
If anything happens, contact Uncle Shi right away.
Got that?
Ms. Lin, shouldn't we meet up?
Do you need something? I'm busy.
What's this? Forget about the car incident?
There's no rush.
If you're busy, why don't I pick you up after school?
I said you can get repairs as necessary.
Go through insurance and I'll reimburse you properly.
Aren't you afraid I'll pull some tricks and cheat insurance?
I trust you. Sorry, I can't talk anymore. I'm out on an errand.
Wait, don't hang up! If you don't want to talk, let's add each other on WeChat.
I don't usually use WeChat. Adding me will be useless. Bye now.
What's wrong?
You look so dejected.
That's not like you. Were you rejected?
Why are you here?
I have a nice job for you.
- Not doing it. - If you say so.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Wait!
What's this?
Where are you going? You're leaving your son?
I came to entrust the orphan to you.
First, I heard back from Liu Xiao Dong's airlines.
I have an interview at their Australia headquarters.
It's almost time for me to go.
I'll be gone for a few days.
You can be Xiao Han's interim dad for a few days.
Second, while you're his interim dad
you'll need to be in contact with Lin Xiao Ou.
It'll also be...
a good chance.
You should've said so sooner! She just gave me the brush-off.
- I have to go. - I'll give you a ride! Let's go.
Eat it on the way. Hurry.
Stop playing.
Your hand just got better.
Eat the fruit.
Dad.
When can I go back to school?
What's the rush? Just stay right here.
Aren't you worried I'll fall behind in my studies?
Just let me go back.
You'll go back when your school deals with Xiao Han.
If the school doesn't deal with Xiao Han, am I not going back?
Dad, in my opinion, we were the ones in the wrong to begin with.
Why don't we...
How were you in the wrong?
You're the one who was injured.
Do you not believe in me?
Even your principal has to obey me.
Don't fret. Just stay right here.
- Ms. Lin. - Ms. Lin.
What have you come for this time?
The school has decided to deal with Xiao Han?
Don't just focus on your trivial matters all the time.
Keep an eye on Xiao Han.
We haven't heard the end of his fight at school.
The other parent isn't willing to overlook this.
I've done my part but we still have to follow up on it.
Here's a warning in advance.
Interim father or godfather, it's not an easy job.
Who's the other parent? Are they rich and powerful?
Who knows? We've apologized and paid the medical bills.
But now that I think about it, we were in the wrong.
Keep in close contact with the school.
Notify me immediately if anything happens.
Does keeping close contact with the school
mean contact with Ms. Lin?
It's the same.
By the way, help me tell Lin Xiao Ou that I'll be away for a few days.
Don't worry. Leave that to me.
I have a gift for talking with Ms. Lin.
My future happiness depends on you.
Concentrate on driving. I just have one request.
Keep an eye on the kid. Don't let him get into anymore trouble.
Who do you think this brat is like?
Who?
Who? You!
You stood up for what was right and got into many fights as a kid.
But I never brought trouble to others.
He's having a wonderful time himself but I have to clean up his mess.
Ms. Lin, I'm actually all better now. You don't have to come visit me.
You're all better? Have your day-to-day activities been affected?
It's okay. I have no problem eating and playing games.
If you're better, then get discharged and go home.
Final exams are coming up.
It won't be good if you fall behind in your studies.
There's no rush.
We're not even sure if we'll return to the school.
We won't be returning if this matter isn't satisfactorily resolved.
By the way, Xiao Han's father asked me to give this 20,000 yuan to you.
He says it's to cover the medical costs.
The parent of the offender? How come you were sent to represent him again?
In the current situation
I believe it's better if both parties' parents avoid meeting.
What do you say?
What's the current situation? We've been hospitalized for so long.
What has the offender's parent done aside from behaving atrociously?
I don't sense any sincerity from him in resolving the matter.
Since they have come by to apologize and have offered the most they can give
don't you think you can...
Is this all they have to offer?
Merely 20,000 yuan?
That's not even enough to cover a week's hospitalization here.
Listen up. We don't want the money.
We're just asking the school to punish the offender severely.
You were the one who asked for compensation for medical costs.
Now you're going back on your word?
You keep saying "offender"
but it wasn't Xiao Han who initiated the incident.
Yi Fu's wrist is also much better now. Can't you quit while you're ahead?
It's not up to you.
You took the side of the offender from the beginning.
I think I'll need to speak with your principal myself.
You can speak with whomever you want.
I believe Yi Fu has already told you the whole truth.
Everything is based on evidence.
This is the surveillance recording of the library.
For the children's protection, I think it's best if you take a look first.
How come I get the feeling it's not my child you're protecting?
Did you bring this here to threaten me?
I am the children's homeroom teacher.
Threatening you does me no good.
Facts speak louder than words.
You'll understand after watching this.
You retrieved the surveillance recording just for this?
You sure are considerate.
[Old Boy]
