[Old Boy]
[Episode 23]
I'm not joking with you.
I already quit.
I don't have to wake up early like you anymore.
Are you serious?
You've lost your love and lost your job. How can you still laugh?
Are you really okay?
Why don't I go shopping with you?
Ms. Ye the attorney doesn't have time off.
You can go off to work.
I'm going to sleep in
and make up for all the hours I missed over the years.
No job means no money.
No money means no play.
Come here.
Go over there and fetch my wallet.
Why? Want me to pity you?
Open it.
Not even a cent.
But there's a card that's sponsored by my dad!
Who says I don't have money?
Bye!
Bye, moocher.
Get your sleep.
Thanks, Xiao Li.
What are you doing here?
I missed you and came to see you.
Don't joke. Shouldn't you be in school?
I'm not going.
Did you and your dad make up?
Did you come to ask me to mediate between you two tonight?
Stop, stop, stop!
Why do you have so many questions, Uncle Shi?
Have you become 100,000 Whys?
Show some respect. What did you come here for?
Do you know there's a talent agency upstairs? I'm here for an interview.
If I pass, we'll be colleagues who work in the same building.
You're not going to school anymore?
I'm not.
Does your dad know this?
He likely seemingly probably might presumably know.
Does he know or not?
I don't know. I can't talk. I have to go to work.
- Bye, Uncle! - Wait, do you know--
Does your dad know?
What's a young kid like you doing in show business?
Hey. What's up?
I have to report something to you.
Your son has come job hunting at my building, upstairs from me.
At your building?
You didn't refer him, did you?
What kind of logic is that?
If I referred him, would I call you?
Honestly. He dropped by to see me just now.
He gave me a coffee and chatted and that's how I found out.
This kid sounded very confident.
I'm guessing he really does plan on supporting me.
He's young and fearless but you're a seasoned warrior.
Is it easy to hold a job?
Besides, it's the entertainment industry!
If you're allowing this, why didn't you just let him work for me?
No, no. That wouldn't work.
Let him stumble and fall.
He won't give up until he hits a brick wall.
The way he is, an honest company wouldn't want to hire him.
He has nothing of value dishonest companies would want from him.
When he's hit enough walls, he'll return to school like a good boy.
What if there are those who don't think the same way?
I have to tell you the company upstairs is quite decent
and really adept at finding new talent.
You don't think your son can make it, but what if they see something in him?
Young boys are so popular now.
Just go on any channel on TV.
They're all fantasy dramas with actors flying in the air and wearing wigs.
Doesn't he look just like them?
Do you know the company upstairs well?
How do I put this?
I have a bit of an acquaintance with the talent director.
Then hurry and have a word with him!
All right. You owe me one.
Okay.
You have some nice qualifications.
You can leave your resume with us. We'll take a closer look at it later.
So when can I start?
Go home and wait to hear from us. We'll notify you in a few days.
Okay.
I'll get going now.
- Hello. - Hello.
How was the interview?
It was all right overall.
The director said I'll get a call in a few days.
I want to confirm that you have my number.
We got it earlier. If there's any news, we'll notify you immediately.
Hello?
Hi, Liu, it's me. I'd like to ask you something.
Was there a young boy named Xiao Han who came in for an interview just now?
His qualifications are not bad.
What is it? Do you know him?
He's... my godson.
If he's your acquaintance, I'll surely treat him well.
No, no.
That's not what I mean.
So, uh... look.
The real world is quite cruel.
Young kids don't have an easy time.
We can't let someone in through our connections
and take away someone else's chances.
That's not good. Just be straight with me.
Then I'll be honest.
He's at an awkward age.
It's a bit late to groom him to be an artist.
Our company is currently hiring assistants for our artists.
As you know, this means running errands and serving others.
Kids these days are spoiled by their mothers.
How many know how to wait upon others?
It's more likely for others to serve them.
You're hiring assistants? That'll do!
Liu, let him be an assistant.
Here's what.
You can arrange for him to work for an artist that's difficult to please
so he can experience the hardships of the real world. Okay?
Oh, that's what you want?
Okay, I understand now.
Okay, good. That's all, then. Thank you.
Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Hello? Who is it?
Hello, I am the talent director of Soaring Heart Talent Agency.
Director Liu, hello! What is it?
Welcome to our Soaring Heart family.
You can come in to work tomorrow.
Really?
I'm so happy.
What will I be doing exactly?
You'll start off as an assistant to our artist, Luo Xiang.
Luo Xiang's popularity is rising rapidly.
The media is paying close attention to him.
Every move you make reflects back on the company.
Do a good job.
Okay! Don't worry. I will show you with my actions.
I'll be reporting in tomorrow.
Okay!
That's within reason.
Yes!
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
- Granny! - Welcome.
Gramps!
You're finally here! You haven't been by in days.
The money your dad left me for your meals hasn't run out yet.
I'm here now. Make me four of your signature dishes.
You haven't been coming in, but when you do, you order so much.
Can you finish it all?
I can't. Wu is waiting for me at home. I'm taking it home to eat with him.
Your dad is waiting at home?
Okay, I'll make it right now.
- And two bowls of rice as well. - Okay, okay.
Get two bowls of rice for him.
- It's to-go. - Okay.
Here are your two entrees and soup.
You're back.
You bought so many things!
- Is any of it for me? - No.
All right, you can have one. Here.
Thank you.
It's clear you spent your dad's money. No buyer's remorse at all.
I have to get a makeover and start a new life.
A makeover won't help.
Even if you shed your skin and get plastic surgery
you still won't be able to change because you're still who you are in your bones.
Just you wait.
Let's go for a night on the town. Let's go to the bars.
I'm going to sleep. Goodnight. Thanks!
You're home. I'm wondering how we're going to share one egg.
Egg?
You're moving on to a better job. You're the great Captain Wu.
Eggs aren't good enough for you.
Tonight, dinner is on me! It's a feast!
Please have a seat.
You didn't hold back.
Of course. Do you remember what I said yesterday?
I might be able to support you within the month.
I never imagined my words would come true today!
You found a job?
If you found a job, then do it well.
Don't give up in a few days.
You can be in charge of buying our eggs from now on.
Eggs?
Listen, if I do this job well
forget about the eggs, I'll be taking charge of you too.
That's a bold statement.
What kind of job is it?
Have you heard of Soaring Hearts?
No. Tobacco sales?
You must've at least heard of Luo Xiang.
Luo Xiang?
Who's that? Singer or dancer?
I can't believe you.
Have you been left behind in time?
Luo Xiang is a rising star with many movie fans.
He has over 10 million social media followers!
Stop joking. I surf on social media every day but I've never heard of him.
Anyway, I'm his assistant now.
That sounds promising.
Now I can go to work without any worries, right?
Go. You can pack up and leave right now.
Forget about dinner. Go get your eggs. Leave.
I have to see you make a decent living before I can leave for work.
Delicious.
Xiao Han.
What do you want?
Are you all healed now so you want punch me again?
No, let's be civilized today.
I came to talk to you.
Stop kidding, man. What kind of play is this?
I already dropped out of school.
You still want to talk to me? Are you here to make fun of me?
I...
I came to apologize.
I'm sorry.
My dad did handle this matter a bit dishonorably.
He's even made you drop out of school. But this wasn't my idea.
I completely disapprove of his actions.
Wait, what kind of trick is this?
Are you really here to apologize?
Of course.
I sincerely want to say sorry.
I always used to view you as a rival and wanted to beat you.
That's why we're where we are now.
You... You're making me feel awkward. It's really okay.
My choice to drop out of school didn't have anything to do with you or your dad.
It was my own choice.
What can you do if you're not in school?
I know your family isn't as well-off as before.
After this incident, I realized
I used to be very shortsighted and couldn't see the big picture.
There are many things in this world that can't be learned in school.
I just found a job and I'm about to show off what I'm capable of.
Your departure is a big loss for our basketball team.
Are you really going to give up basketball?
Basketball can be played anywhere. Just go to a park and play streetball.
Besides, you're not bad either. The school still has you.
You keep saying you have skills.
I watched you play that day and you're really good.
The school is counting on you now.
If we run into each other on the streets, we won't be enemies seeing red, will we?
Probably not.
Well, we're not going to be friends seeing red though.
No, wait! Friends giving a warm embrace!
They're firm on the time they wrap up work.
These two days won't be a problem.
Xiao Han, I don't need to introduce him in detail.
The well-known Mr. Luo.
I know. Hello.
Mr. Luo, this is your new assistant, Xiao Han.
He's a bit tall.
Will he block my sight if he's standing next to me?
He's the only one we have hired at the moment.
He's quite a clever boy.
He looks polite and has a nice image.
Why don't you give him a chance?
Has the script that the production team sent over been printed yet?
- It's been printed. - Yes, yes.
Xiao Han, you must go over Mr. Luo's script, mail, and company memos.
Okay.
Wait, my parts haven't been marked. How am I supposed to read this?
Mr. Luo, it's Xiao Han's first day. He doesn't have much experience.
Xiao Han, from now on, once you receive the script
you must use a green highlighter to mark out Mr. Luo's parts.
All right, I can't talk anymore. I was gaming all night.
I haven't had breakfast. I'm going for coffee.
What are you still standing here for? Catch up to him.
Bring his script and bag.
Remember to order, pay, and bring the food to Mr. Luo at the cafe.
Be alert, okay?
While he's eating, you can highlight his parts in the script.
I don't have money to pay for his bill.
You have his bag.
Get money from his wallet to pay and just hold on to it for him.
- Okay. - This bag too.
Don't run.
Your sunglasses are cool.
Elevator.
Press the button!
Oh!
Uh... I play that game too.
What level are you on?
What are kids thinking these days?
Are... you sure?
Are you dissatisfied with the terms we offered?
Or is Tian Ji's breach of contract penalty fee too high?
That's all right. If those are the only issues, we can discuss this.
It's not. Your offer is very generous and I'm very pleased by it.
I just think Tian Ji has groomed me for so many years.
I can't bring myself to leave. I feel I haven't done enough for them.
I can only say thank you for giving me this chance.
If I've caused any trouble for you, I can only say sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'm very sorry to hear that.
I thought we would be colleagues soon.
How about this?
You don't have to give me a reply so soon.
You can think on it some more.
I... I can give you an answer right now.
I won't delay you further from finding someone else.
I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's a shame.
Hello, everybody.
I am the captain of this flight. Call me Captain Zhu.
I'll keep things short.
Our approach time is 13:10.
Estimated flight duration is 2 hours and 40 minutes.
We may encounter a lot of severe turbulence on our flight.
Please make the necessary precautions.
Stay alert and make thorough preparations.
- Got it? - Understood.
Meeting adjourned.
Have you heard a lot of people from our airline
has been interviewing with Ao Da Airlines?
Yes, but I've heard they're hard to get into.
The acceptance rate is only 30 percent.
My boyfriend passed the written exam
but made a small mistake in the flight simulator.
It seems Wu Zheng has been the only one who has passed.
Captain Wu is so impressive.
You have such a good eye.
What are you planning to do? Go over to Ao Da with him?
I'm not sure yet.
On the flight back from Australia
Wu crashed into the meal trolley while protecting me.
He hasn't recovered yet.
Hero rescuing the damsel in distress.
Wu Zheng is so good to you.
I heard Ao Da captains have a very high salary
and the work isn't as intense.
You won't have to work anymore.
You can go to Australia and be a housewife.
Oh, stop it.
Let him be officially hired by Ao Da first.
By the way, make sure you keep this a secret.
Don't tell anyone or I'll be done for if Wu Zheng finds out.
Hi, Xiao Ou.
Let's have seafood buffet for lunch.
I didn't get to eat it last time because you called me home.
You should've told me earlier. I already put in a lunch order.
You can let Xiao Yang eat more.
Eat with me. My treat.
Even so, I don't have time. I have a pile of work to do.
Go by yourself.
I used to really envy the people who stay home all day.
Their day goes by so easily.
Now I've discovered it's so boring!
This morning, I had a facial
did Pilates, swam 2,000 meters
and I haven't received a single phone call.
I'm bored to death.
Bored? Then go out to town.
- Your file. - Thank you.
Didn't you buy a lot of clothes?
You can wear a different outfit morning and afternoon.
If you're still bored, you can go to an intersection
and assist the police officers in directing traffic.
How come no headhunters have contacted me?
Why would they call you? So you can spend their money?
What kind of attitude is that?
So you have work to do. Does that make you a big deal?
Okay, okay. I don't just have a bit of work. I have a mountain of work. Bye.
I wasn't done yet.
Sir, sir, sir!
Sir!
- What is it? - What is it?
You didn't take your script and bag.
Give me the bag. Keep the script. Bring it tomorrow.
I'm at my wit's end. I don't have enough staff.
This is four consecutive flights in a day. That's already the lightest load!
Okay, okay. I'll arrange more people as soon as I can.
Captain Zheng.
Sit first. I don't have time to see to you. We're short-staffed. It's a mess.
That's what I came here for.
When are you going to make a decision about leaving?
There are people in the team who are talking about you now.
Aren't you short-staffed? I'm not leaving anymore.
Really? You better not be joking.
A man never goes back on his word.
Decide carefully.
If you say you're leaving again, I won't allow it.
I'm not leaving anymore. When have I ever joked?
I'm not leaving.
Good. I'll assign you work right now.
I'll make up for all the flights you missed lately.
You're exploiting me so soon?
How about Inner Mongolia?
No, wait. There's one more thing.
Hold off on that.
Hold on. Here.
My lower back was injured a few days ago.
The doctor says I need two more days of therapy.
I can't fly with a back injury. Hold off for another two days. Okay?
Why did you have to injure your back of all places?
Don't you know the back is most important to pilot?
I'm ordering you to protect every part of your body from this moment on.
No other injuries allowed.
I'll go get every part of my body, from head to toe, insured tomorrow.
Enough cheekiness. Go home and rest so you can come back to work soon.
Isn't this good news?
You didn't go out? Nobody to go with?
Want something to drink?
Your new clothes are just a few days old. Are you selling them already?
You're looking for a job?
Ms. Ye Zi, what kind of job do you think is most suitable for Lin Xiao Ou?
English teacher.
I can be a translator.
I spent an afternoon looking for translation agencies.
I think simultaneous interpretation will be difficult.
I'm going to look for business translation jobs.
I already sent out resumes.
There are two companies asking me to go in for an interview.
So you didn't go out to eat, play, or shop this afternoon.
You stayed at home to look for jobs?
Let me tell you. I was born to work.
What kind of company should I be looking for?
A place nearby, or a place that offers good benefits, or...
Actually, I heard there's a translation agency
that has a boss who looks very similar to Takeshi Kaneshiro.
Should I go to that one?
The best one is the one that will hire you.
Who cares if he's hot? What goes on in your mind?
Am I that worthless in your mind?
You make it sound as if nobody wants me.
I think your dad's school is still the best fit for you.
Didn't your dad give you time to recover?
You can consider it.
I won't consider being a teacher again.
I hate a life that's predictable till the end.
It's good to consider other options.
Other options.
How about being a lawyer?
I won't be an unscrupulous lawyer.
I'm starving.
How has work been?
How come I get the feeling you're not working as an assistant
but more like doing hard physical labor?
It's more tiring than that.
Big celebrities all have unique tempers and attitudes.
I'll just bear with it.
He's letting me handle pretty much all his business.
He even leaves his wallet with me.
All right.
This is his new movie.
He even leaves the script with me. Don't leak it.
You let...
What?
What the heck dos this say?
There's a typo every two words.
Did the writer even graduate from junior high school?
I heard the waters run deep in show business.
Be careful. Don't drown.
Don't worry about me. I'll be an official employee in three months.
Are you flying yet?
Don't worry about me.
Think about how you'll attend to your celebrity.
You're just too stubborn. Stop pushing yourself, will you?
Your back is already injured. Will you lose a leg to admit it?
Just eat.
Boss, an order of twice-cooked pork and sautéed cabbage with mushrooms.
Miss, we don't take orders here.
Look at today's specials.
If you want to eat meat, we only have steamed pork with glutinous rice today.
But I want twice-cooked pork.
I can't help you there.
Forget it. I'll sit with them.
Do you know each other?
Yes.
Do you want noodles too?
- Sure. - Okay.
Boss! I only want half the amount of noodles.
Okay.
Wait, wait! Forget it. I'll have salad instead.
We're not a Western-style restaurant. We don't have salad.
You must have some fresh vegetables.
Old man, just give her a smashed cucumber salad. That'll do.
Okay.
Boss! Make sure to peel the skin off the cucumbers and don't add garlic.
And less salt! I'm on a diet.
Okay, okay.
Auntie, this really isn't a place for you.
How is a restaurant like this good enough for you?
You can just envision the cucumber salad
and then use the power of your mind to eat it.
- Then you-- - Enough, go away.
I live really close by now.
This is the only restaurant nearby that's rather clean.
How come you live close by now?
My lease was up.
I thought I'd move closer to you so we could look after each other.
You have loose lips. Stay away from me. You let word spread so far.
You're too much for me to handle.
It wasn't on purpose.
It's not my fault your supervisor has such sharp hearing.
I wasn't even feeling cocky about it. Why were you?
Why aren't you at home so late at night? Where are you?
You want to treat us to dinner again?
Too late. We're already eating.
You're at the old man's again? Wait for me. I'm coming over.
Xiao Han has to work on his script soon for work.
I'm going to the restroom.
Have you learned?
Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi!
- Godfather! - Shush!
Why are you running away?
Running away? No, I'm not. I just don't like her.
I don't like her either. She's so annoying.
Why is your dad with her again?
She came by a few days ago.
Wu Zheng rejected her and then she moved in nearby. She hasn't given up.
I think her efforts will be a waste though.
It's impossible between her and Wu Zheng.
Good.
Let me ask you something.
Um...
How has Lin Xiao Ou been lately?
You're not going to school so I don't get to see her anymore.
She was suspended by the school recently.
She has a lot of guts. She quit in a fit of rage.
So she's actually not even there anymore.
So she's lost her job and her boyfriend.
- Yep. - Yep!
Do you have her address?
Her home address.
Her home address!
- Wait. - What?
You want me to give you her address?
- You're not hearing me? - That can't be good.
Okay, okay! I'll give it.
Go in and talk to him. He's leaving in a few days.
Don't worry about Fei Wen Li. She's nobody.
No, I can't be bothered with him. Hurry up and send me the address.
Get on it. Quick.
Okay, I'll send it in a bit. Don't worry.
You're going later? What are you going to her house so late at night for?
You don't get it, do you? Let me tell you.
I'll impart my life's knowledge to you.
People are very fragile at times like these.
If I go see her now...
I'll comfort her. Do you know what that's called?
- Taking advantage of her difficulties? - No.
- Swooping in while she's weak. - No.
Forcing your way with the lady.
Helping in her hour of need!
All right. Don't get too many ideas.
I'm not leaving anymore.
Don't worry about my business or when I'm leaving.
You can spread that news.
Why aren't you leaving now?
Is your back not better yet?
It's okay. If your back doesn't heal, I'll take care of you for life.
Look at what you're saying. I can't continue this conversation.
You make it sound like my life is over.
Didn't I say nothing's better than relying on yourself?
Why do you have to keep tying us together?
Besides, my back isn't injured that badly.
You know I like you but you always treat me like this.
I don't even know why.
From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other.
We don't have any ties.
Focus on your new romance. Don't let a good man slip away.
Wait. What new romance?
I don't have a new romance.
Didn't you... Shi Fei saw you with a man.
How can he be so gossipy for a man?
Does this mean you mind?
- No. - That makes me happy.
I don't mind. I'm telling you to hold on to it.
That was my friend.
Do you remember the boy with the injured leg you saved?
His parents live there. My friend just took me there.
How else did you think you got that banner?
I was wondering why I suddenly got a banner.
Thank you.
How are you going to repay me?
- How come women-- - Did you finish that soup yet?
If you're done, then leave.
I'm waiting for your Uncle Shi.
He already came. He's off to swoop in on a moment of weakness.
- He came? - Do you know why he left?
He saw someone he doesn't want to see.
Are you leaving? Well, I am.
Was he talking about me?
Building B.
Building B5.
Excuse me, ma'am.
- Where is-- - Who are you calling ma'am, gramps?
Gramps?
Sorry, I wasn't seeing clearly.
Uh... Babe, I have a question.
I'm not a babe. Don't call me a babe.
Then... uh...
Lady! Lady, let me ask you.
Where is Building B5?
What language are you speaking? I can't understand you.
It's okay. I'm not asking anymore.
Are you taking liberties with young women?
I... How am I taking liberties?
I'll ask, all right?
Let me ask you.
How do I get to Building B5, unit 1805?
Why do you want to know?
I'm looking for someone.
- Who? - I...
I... I'm visiting a relative.
Okay, okay. I'll stop asking.
I'll call. All right?
The people in this estate are so...
[Old Boy]
