[Old Boy]
[Episode 30]
This place is packed.
This pretty lady looks familiar.
Save the pickup line.
It's no pickup line. She was sitting right here last time.
I remember you were reading the blog of Long-Lashed Shuke.
That was me. You have a great memory.
Is this Lashed Shuke's blog interesting?
They have more substance than a certain someone.
Last time, I told you I could introduce you to the blogger.
Enough, let's order.
- Two meal sets with your best steak. - Okay.
I haven't looked at the menu yet. How could you order for me?
The best dish here is the steak.
The best drink here is the coffee Yue brews.
When I'm paying, we have to order the signature dishes.
Yes, he's correct.
How do you like your steak?
- You know me. - I'm asking the lady.
- Forget it. Just same as his. - Okay.
Aren't you going to make introductions?
This is Lin Xiao Ou, my son's teacher.
Oh! Hello, Ms. Lin.
Pleased to meet you.
This parent doesn't spare you any worry, does he?
He's normally probably a bad friend, isn't he?
This is Xiao Yue, my little buddy.
Little buddy? A buddy is a buddy. Why tack on "little" in front?
Yes, I'm a few months younger than you, but little buddy doesn't sound great.
We were high school classmates. I fell in with bad company.
We lost touch for a while after graduating
but we later became partners in crime again.
I know everything about him.
If you want to know about him, just ask me.
- Enough, enough. - Got it.
I'll let you spill all my secrets later. Get our food!
He's the owner of this place.
Welcome!
Hello!
Boss, give us the menu. We want to order.
The relationships are a mess. Is she the one Shi Fei likes?
Don't ask. Go do your work.
No wonder Shi Fei wouldn't say a thing when I asked how the theater date went.
He later got drunk here and I said I'd call you here but he wouldn't let me.
What happened?
That bastard Shi Fei can say whatever he wants.
The problem is he didn't say anything.
He calls before he comes now and doesn't come if you're here.
- Shi Fei and I-- - Excuse me.
You two enjoy.
This is Xiao Yue's steak, a classic here. It's delicious.
However, I think you should be the one to foot the bill
because I gave you such an amazing employment suggestion.
At present, I have more complaints than thanks.
- This is free, Yue? - Of course it's free.
You brought such a beautiful lady to dinner.
The steak and wine are on the house.
We have no relation at all. Nothing.
Save it. I know you.
Dig in. Enjoy.
What do you mean by that? You're distancing yourself again.
I was drunk in Australia. I was also drunk at your house.
- But you weren't drunk. - I wasn't drunk.
But you said not to take what you do seriously when you're drunk.
Is what I say always true? Have you never been wrong before?
We should talk about something serious.
I can't with your attitude right now.
I have a half-baked suggestion for your problem with unruly kids.
Cut off the head of the snake.
Control the leader of these naughty kids and then the rest will be in check.
We're talking about us. Who said you could change the subject?
Those little devils are more important. Why?
Because I used to be one.
I know what they're thinking.
They have to put yourself in their shoes and figure out their weakness.
Then you'll be able to deal with them all in one go.
- Are you finished? - This tasted great.
It'll be 50 yuan.
50 yuan, yes. 50 yuan is enough.
Here's the braised pork fillet.
This is a signature dish?
Thank you.
Come again. Have a good day.
Welcome.
Kid, I didn't know you were here. You didn't say hi.
You and Granny seemed busy so I didn't say anything.
You can come by when things die down.
What would you like to eat? I'll make it. Where's your dad?
He's a bit busy.
I'll just have noodles. Something simple will do.
I'll eat anything. You can get back to work.
- I'll make some noodles for you. - Okay.
Dad! Mom! I'm back!
- Mom! - You're back!
- Be careful with that. - You're finally home.
- You haven't called in half a year. - Dad!
Here.
Watch out. I'm covered in oil and sweat.
Look at this big place. Renovations weren't easy.
It tired us out. Your dad was flat on his back.
Where were you? You only called once in six months.
Now you come home with bills to pay.
She came home for money.
Dad, look. Mom scolds me as soon as I come home.
Are you actually my mom?
Besides, I didn't come for you. Dad's message made me come home.
She just got home. Don't scold her.
Are you hungry? I'll make something for you.
- I want your noodles. - Okay, I'll make it for you.
I have such poor memory.
The boy also wants a bowl of noodles. I completely forgot.
No, it's okay, Gramps! You can make it for your...
Anyway, don't worry about it! Seriously!
I'll cook for you two right now.
All you do is cook for her.
Why don't you ask about the mountain of debt she comes back with?
And we have to pay it off for her.
Mom, I wasn't spending frivolously. I invested in a WeChat business.
WeChat business?
So where's the money? Where? Where?
- I don't see a cent. - Right here.
These are the hottest fat loss products at the moment.
It's a groundbreaking concept.
Not only can it effectively control fat but also boost metabolism.
It's safe and effective. It'll become money soon.
Stop, stop.
You're hyping it up but you're just selling diet pills.
If it's as effective as you say, it would have become money already.
Mom, investment takes time. You can't rush it.
You gave birth to me! I know what you're capable of!
Who gave birth to whom?
Brat!
Mom, who did you say gave birth to whom?
Enough, we have customers here.
Serve the dishes.
We can talk at home.
- I'll make noodles for you. - Okay.
Sorry for the wait. This is on the house.
I told you not to come. You'll tip him off!
No, I have important news for you. Hold on.
Hurry! Let's go home.
This is bad. Very bad.
The situation is grim.
Don't panic. Slow down.
- Your sister! - Your sister?
No, I'm not cursing you.
Your younger sister, as in my aunt, showed up out of nowhere.
I was listening in for the longest time at Old Street Bistro.
I really have to give it to her! I've never seen someone so dumb.
She wants so much but couldn't be lazier.
She was duped and brought home two big boxes of diet pills.
Don't get close to her. You might have to sell pills for her.
Don't worry though. My grandpa treated my aunt very nicely.
He hugged her with tears in his eyes so he probably hadn't seen her in a while.
How come our family favors daughters over sons?
Does he actually know you exist?
I'm here whether he knows or not.
Enough about this. I heard your class of brats pranked Ms. Lin.
It's a misunderstanding. I didn't know she was the new teacher.
Don't worry. I'll definitely look out for her from now on.
But did you and Ms. Lin work things out? When are you taking things further?
Don't worry about us. Just don't stir up trouble.
She's a newcomer and needs help. Who will help her if not you?
I'll take care of that
but shouldn't you take some responsibility as a man?
Let Uncle Shi take it out on you to get over it
or I'll work my magic on him if necessary.
However, with Ms. Lin, you must follow your heart.
Are you a relationship guru now?
What a coincidence.
Why did you drop by without calling first?
Call?
Oh, you're mistaken. I'm not here to see you.
- Have you been waiting long? - No, I just got here.
You two are...
Can't you see? I get things done.
- Get in the car. - Let's go.
We're leaving. Bye.
Bye.
Where were you today? Where's the gift?
I won't get involved even if you catch a thief or ward off a devil.
Work is important
but work can't be so urgent all the time.
You're still young. You'll be working your whole life.
My precious, don't get too hot.
What are you doing?
What, Mom?
I had my dishes all prepped to sell tomorrow!
- Mom, Mom! - What are you doing?
These dishes will be eaten tomorrow. They don't need to be in the fridge.
My products are very valuable.
- They can't be in heat. - These are for sale!
Mom, here's what.
You can get to work starting tomorrow.
Think of a way to promote my product.
Don't a lot of office workers eat here? You can advertise to them.
I'll give you commission!
It's none of my concern. I won't do it even with commission.
Do you know this is multi-level marketing (MCM)?
You even want to drag me in?
Mom, this isn't MCM! I'm a proper WeChat business.
Do you know it's the most popular type of business operation in China now?
Do you know how much effort it took me to obtain rights as a sub-distributor?
My products will earn a lot of money when sold. You'll find out.
Here, Mom.
Dad! Come!
Mom, here. I'll let you both try a bottle for free.
Try it yourself.
- In the future-- - Don't, don't!
Do what in the future?
You can promote it to my customers in the future.
Look. It's a non-certified product. It's a disaster.
You want us in our old age to drink this?
She wants to kill us.
Does it give us diarrhea?
- How can-- - Lei Lei, I don't want to say this.
Stop selling these diet products. Find a proper job instead.
This is my job now.
It's better than going to work.
I'll earn tens of thousands of yuan if I sell all of these.
- Mom! Mom! - Do you hear her? She's obsessed.
Your thousands of yuan are sugar water and powder!
Valuable? Tens of thousands of yuan?
This is big money.
What are you doing? Don't take it out! Mom!
Get out. Go earn your money.
If you want to stay in this house, you'll throw this all out tomorrow
and help out at the restaurant.
I'm not going to work here.
Your restaurant is full of grease and fumes. It's bad for my skin.
- Mom, stop this! - Why are you just looking on?
- Pack the boxes and throw them out! - Mom!
Dad! You dare? Don't throw my things!
Mom!
Hold on!
Hello.
Hello, I am a courier for Vipshop.
I'm here to pick up a return package from Ms. Ye.
- Is this your exchanged product? - Yes.
This is for you.
- Thank you. Goodbye. - Thank you. It's so convenient. Bye.
I'm going to fly higher.
I'm going to ride faster!
Aren't you just going out on a date?
Do you have to be so excited?
Do you think I can slim down in two weeks?
Oh no. You've completely fallen.
So can I?
Is there anyone who doesn't have two rolls on their tummy after eating?
What is it? Shi Fei thinks you're fat?
He doesn't.
I think I have a bit of flab on my stomach.
I overestimated myself.
I thought I could lose fat very quickly.
I picked size small for all the outfits I bought online a few days ago.
I can't fit in any of them.
Good thing they have a return and exchange service.
Just a tap on the phone and they come to your door.
Besides, because of these outfits
I'll have to take things slowly with my Fei Fei.
You think you guys aren't going fast enough?
You should thank the flab on your tummy.
The nerve you have! This is all your fault.
You bring back so much delicious food every time you go to your mom's house
and make me so chubby.
If I can't lose this weight quickly, should I get liposuction?
Does it hurt? Will it work?
Wow. You go all out just for a date.
Are you serious this time?
When was I ever not serious?
I have to maintain my best condition to see my Fei Fei.
It seems being in love makes one's IQ and EQ both plummet.
Even educated people are no exception.
It makes me happy.
How are you and Wu Zheng doing?
Don't ask. He's a stubborn old man.
Do people become passive once they turn 40?
Wu Zheng is 40 years old?
He's the same age as Fei Fei.
Good thing Fei Fei looks younger.
- I'm going to sleep. You're terrible. - Go, go.
Keep going!
Fly higher! Ride faster!
- Morning. - Morning.
Where are the other students?
They're probably at the basketball court.
There was a game at noon.
Someone was injured and the game was supposedly extended.
They game probably hasn't ended so they're not back yet.
The school bell is an order to students.
Do they usually not follow orders?
They're usually better.
They probably want to set an example with you.
Ms. Lin, this place isn't as civilized as Wharton.
Problems are better solved with force than with brains over here.
Fortunately, I arrived a few days earlier than you. I'll watch over you.
You'll watch over me?
You came only a few days earlier.
Besides, if I don't bring them to heel myself
they won't submit to me.
Just focus on your studies. Don't worry about this.
So long as you know what you're doing.
So what are you going to do today? Go to the homeroom teacher or principal?
Neither.
When is the game over?
10 minutes, I guess. 10 minutes at most.
Then we'll wait a bit longer.
By the way, there is a Zhang Kai Xuan among these kids.
He's considered the leader of these troublemakers.
If you can tame him, you'll have won half the battle.
Zhang Kai Xuan?
That score you made was amazing!
- That last one! - Hurry!
Yes, it was awesome!
Which class are you all in?
Principal, we were watching a basketball game just now.
Basketball game?
You're watching a game during class? What class do you have this period?
Where is your teacher?
Probably in the classroom.
The bell rang a long time ago.
Hurry back to class.
Okay, Principal! Let's hurry.
Ms. Lin.
Principal.
What was that?
I knew the students were watching a game.
I just didn't expect the game to be extended by 10 minutes.
I will extend class by 10 minutes to make up for the time.
Okay. Start class.
That was a spectacular game, wasn't it?
We have something even more spectacular coming up.
Zhang Kai Xuan.
Nice drawing skills.
You want to get into an art institute?
But if your English isn't good
you might have trouble viewing art galleries overseas.
No need to look. You, Pang Yue.
You've practiced calligraphy, right?
Your Chinese characters are prettier than your English letters.
Liu Shu Jun, were you writing in prose?
"A true friend accepts your past"
"supports your present, and encourages your future."
But why doesn't he teach you English?
Lin Shu Wei.
You want to be a pilot in the future?
I have a pilot friend.
He told me one can't become a pilot with bad English.
Wang Min Xuan, thank you for your compliment
but I can't give you full points because of that.
Xiao Ao Xue. This is a lovely name.
But based on my understanding of English
I reckon this is Pinyin, not English.
Ms. Lin, don't tell me you had nothing better to do than memorize all our names.
This is the most basic respect I am showing all of you.
I've taught three classes. I remember the names of all 117 of my students.
All of them?
Would I be your teacher if I didn't have some skills in my arsenal?
Liu Dong Xue.
Not bad.
Beautiful, can I take up a few minutes of your time before you order?
Aren't you worried such greasy food will make you fat?
Aren't you worried it will make you grow pimples?
- If you're worried, I can-- - Excuse me, can I order first?
I'm starving and haven't eaten yet! Why would I think about dieting?
Everything's on the menu. Write down your own order.
- Bill, please. - Sorry about that!
Who is that?
Your bill is approximately over 200 yuan.
You're so lucky today.
Our restaurant started a promotion today.
Customers who spend over 200 yuan
will receive the hottest diet products for just an extra 108 yuan.
We don't want it. Why are you promoting this?
Are we ordering too much?
I've never seen someone do business like this. It's bound to close down!
How can you be like this? Why would you curse our business?
- Watch your foul mouth! - Keep your mouth shut.
We just finished our meal!
I'm sorry, young man.
What were you doing?
This is my daughter. She came to help but she's not very eloquent.
I apologize. I'm sorry.
Sorry for the unpleasant experience.
This meal will be on the house.
It's on me. Okay? I'm sorry you were angered.
I'm sorry.
Ms. Lin, I want to go to the restroom.
- Be quick. - Okay.
Why are you here?
What kind of question is that?
Can't I be here? Can't I take a look?
You came to see Ms. Lin, didn't you?
Don't worry. She's busy right now.
She doesn't have time to flirt with you.
Who's flirting? What goes on in that head of yours?
I came to... check out the facilities.
It's fine if you won't admit it. I'm nice so I'll tell you some big news.
She's helping those bad students make up for a missed lesson
so she won't be out anytime soon.
Have you turned into a bad student?
How am I a bad student?
I'm a good student to the core.
I'm here to provide her support. I'm voluntarily staying.
These troublemakers are always thinking up ways to oppose Ms. Lin.
How could I stand watching that?
Zhang Kai Xuan, what are you playing with?
You scored so poorly and still won't study seriously.
Ms. Lin, I know you have our best interests in mind.
But as the saying goes, "No one can eat a fat man in a mouth."
Miss, all other classes have been let out already.
We're the only ones still in class.
I should be at home napping right now so I can be ready for class tomorrow.
I'm so sleepy now, Ms. Lin.
That's right, Ms. Lin.
"More haste, less speed."
That's the more refined way of saying that phrase.
Miss, let us go home!
I want to sleep!
Let us go home!
What are you doing here?
I was outside and heard this debate between the students and teacher.
I think everybody is right.
I gave to show my support.
Just now...
a student asked why they had to be in class after school
to learn English and make up for lessons.
You could be doing something else.
You could play ball, go shopping, watch movies, or go home to sleep.
This teacher is the same.
She could go shopping, get a facial, or go on a date with her boyfriend.
She doesn't like making up lessons here either.
Am I right?
Whether you want to learn really depends on yourself.
If you don't want to learn, you'll never be able to learn.
Am I right?
- Yes! - You're right, handsome uncle!
I give you a thumbs up!
This student understands me.
He also has a good eye. I should say very accurate.
Handsome Uncle.
Fate brought me here today. Why?
I once sat in this classroom just like you all.
I came to say sorry and show my remorse to my old English teacher.
Show remorse? Why?
That's a good question. Thumbs up to you too.
I also didn't want to learn English back in the day.
I had no reason to learn English.
Why should I? I'm not going overseas or working for a foreign company.
I'm not going to be a translator. Right?
I'm not going to have a foreign girlfriend.
It would be useless to learn it.
I persisted and told my teacher I wasn't learning it.
My teacher wouldn't give up and said I had to. I said no.
I kept that up for years. I graduated and I really hadn't learned it.
I graduated!
After graduating, I found a job. Doing what?
Airplane pilot.
You have to add more to my Handsome Uncle name.
Handsome Pilot.
As everybody knows, pilots have to make flight announcements.
The first part is in Mandarin.
Then it's followed with English. Ladies and gentlemen... and so on.
I was sweating in that moment.
I couldn't understand or speak English.
I was panicked and awkward.
It was worse on international flights.
I had to make purchases but didn't know what to say.
I'm good-looking so a lot of women would come up and try to hit on me.
They asked me what my number is.
I said, "No, no. No eating."
I couldn't understand.
I realized English is actually very important.
I believe you'll all have many chances to travel abroad.
It's not just for the boys. The same goes for girls.
When you go online, you see a lot of English words.
That's why I came to apologize and show my remorse to my English teacher.
It's just a shame that my English teacher has already...
She's not dead. She...
She left the country. I don't have the chance anymore.
I hope you all won't have the same regret.
That's all.
Applause?
All right. With what this uncle said, I won't force you all.
I respect your decision. Class dismissed.
Don't, Miss. I'm also good-looking. I also want to chat with foreign girls.
Hi.
Boss, check.
Miss, can you take our order?
All right.
This aunt is interesting, right?
- Let's keep observing. - Take the order.
- We're ready to order. - Coming.
What would you like?
We're regular customers here. We usually eat the same few things.
You're a regular?
Can you write?
You can write it yourself.
Um... Are you the old man's daughter?
How come you're helping out here?
How long are you staying?
Sir, do I know you well?
You can at least get us two hot waters, right?
All right.
Are you crazy? Why are you prying?
Why did you ask so much at once?
What happened? Did it spill?
Oh, look! Were you scalded?
- No, no. I have quick reflexes. - Look at you.
Go serve food. Go.
- It's okay. - Oh, my child. Were you scalded?
- I'm sorry. - Newbies are like that.
- She doesn't have the hang of it yet. - Yes. She will later.
What would you like to eat?
Just the same as usual.
No problem.
Have a drink first.
It'll be out soon.
Dad, your cooking is excellent!
They can see you, brat.
It's fine.
You like to eat but are too lazy to work.
Mom, does that mean I took after you or Dad?
Make another portion. Your daughter is causing trouble again.
- Give that to me. They can see you. - He's making another one.
You're killing me.
How many times have I told you?
Don't give attitude to the customers, especially the regulars. Understand?
Wu is good-natured. Someone else would've had a row with you already.
Him? A regular? I think he's more like a scoundrel.
- Lower your voice! - He is.
You don't know how he looked at me. It was dirty.
Who says those things to hit on girls nowadays?
When did you arrive? Are you the old man's daughter?
Who are you talking about? Wu?
Wu is a pilot for a commercial airline. He's an airline captain.
He's surrounded by flight attendants. They're beautiful ladies.
They're prettier than you. Would he spare you a glance? Honestly!
Dad, he's a pilot?
But if that's true
I can promote my products to him next time.
He knows a lot of flight attendants.
Your sister is a real piece of work, comparable to you.
I have to say the power of blood ties is astounding.
Look at my grandpa.
He counts her flaws but he spoils her rotten.
How could he just have forgotten about you?
Do you think he's in the same situation as us?
He doesn't know you exist.
Not likely.
After he divorced, he sent money to your grandma every month.
Of course, she sent them all back.
That I remember.
I don't blame you though. I wouldn't want to acknowledge him either.
After all, he did abandon you two back then.
But my grandpa looks quite benevolent.
How could he be like that?
I also think he looks benevolent.
The first time I saw him, I felt an indescribable closeness
and we became friends despite our ages.
When I saw your aunt, I understood.
I'm just his regular patron.
Feelings are accumulated over time.
You can't blame him.
How do I put this? When I first learned of you, I couldn't accept it either.
I didn't think much of you either.
When I was younger
and my mom had to go far away for business, I'd be fine.
But I couldn't stand Lu Da Zhi being away.
My mom had to take the train with me in the middle of the night to find him
because I'd miss him so much I wouldn't stop crying.
You won't feel jealous if I tell you this, right?
It's only natural that you would think of your foster father.
How could I be jealous?
Xiao Han, son--
Stick to talking. Don't get handsy. What is it?
Thank you.
I owe you a thank you. Thank you for finding me.
Thank you for letting me know I have a son in this sea of people
and giving me the only family I have in this world.
Thank you.
Wait...
Your words... What is your hand doing?
Well, I'd just finished gnawing on pork trotters.
You took the last napkin.
My hand was so oily.
In this emotional moment...
Why are you shaving in the middle of the night?
Dad, this is a facial tool!
I thought something was wrong with you.
Old man, we should've had a son instead.
Dad, Mom, I've thought about it.
Why don't you seriously consider investing in my new business?
Even though it's not making a profit right now
the outlook is optimistic and there is a lot of room for profit.
Don't say I didn't let you in on this when I make a fortune later.
Everything is baloney until we see the money.
Don't people say the customer always comes first?
Dear, do you know how many customers you scared away today?
Your dad and I have been busy apologizing all day!
Look, look!
We earned less than 700 yuan today.
Without you messing things up here
we usually earn at least a thousand yuan a day!
Mom, listen.
Even if the three of us work day and night
we still won't earn much.
This is just a small business.
My job is so nice.
I just sit at home and make a few posts on social media to sell products.
In just days, I'd have the money it takes you months to earn.
How profitable!
Then why are you making us pay off your debt?
You're bringing that up again.
Listen up.
You're an uncaring child.
Your dad isn't in very good health.
How long do you think he can keep working?
If I were you, I'd learn all the skills your dad knows. You hear me?
The store will be yours in the future.
Are you dumb?
You're giving me this store?
I don't want it even if it's free.
It won't earn much money
and the daily grease and fumes will turn me into a faded old woman in days.
Who are you talking about?
Mom, you're a great example.
Look at your skin. You're in these fumes every day.
Your face is full of wrinkles. Ugly.
Mom, how about this? My products are just right for you.
Why don't you be my model?
Look at me.
Why do I dress up so exquisitely every day?
That's because I'm a spokesperson for my own products.
Here's my plan for you: before and after.
What was that?
This is how you look before using my products: face full of wrinkles.
After using my products, your face is full of collagen and younger by 20 years.
Isn't that great?
Help! Help, ancestors!
I've been thinking all day.
You're ignorant of human suffering.
Just ask people who run actual businesses
not those after a big fortune like you.
They can survive as long as they earn a little money.
Do you know many businesses on this block have closed down?
Luckily, your dad was smart and bought this place.
We don't need to pay rent.
Otherwise, the three of us would be starving on the streets
and drinking your medicine.
Mom, you've given me an idea.
Dad! Mom! Listen to me.
I think we should just close down this restaurant.
Calm down. This is what I think.
This restaurant won't earn much no matter how much you work.
Why don't you give this store to me?
I'll find an amazing designer to give this place a makeover.
Then I'd have a place to display my products
and I'd have more customers to sell my products to.
We'd earn even more money.
You two can stay at home and live off me in comfort.
What if your store is a bust?
Who cares? Anyway, I never thought about living off of you.
