[Episode 31]
Boss! Are you there?
Lu Da Zhi!
I know you're inside! Come out!
You told us to come pick up our wages!
Mr. Lu, I'm waiting on this money for my child's school tuition!
Come out!
Boss! Are you there? Lu Da Zhi!
Nobody is picking up the phone. [For Lease]
Maybe he really isn't here.
Impossible.
He owes us so many paychecks.
- What is he doing? - Exactly. What are we going to do?
Dad!
What's the matter?
Did you dream of Lu Da Zhi again?
No, I...
I dreamed you were getting married to Ms. Lin.
Go back to sleep.
You were dreaming.
Let me finish.
As you two were exchanging rings, a baldy suddenly rushed out of the crowd.
It was Uncle Shi Fei.
He tried to steal your bride
and you two came to blows and both fell into the ocean.
Who were you helping when we fought?
Neither. I was watching the show.
I had beer and drinks in hand to deal with confused bystanders.
You swim just fine anyway. You don't need saving.
You're such a traitor.
But that's fine.
Water stands for wealth.
Dreaming of water means my prospects are looking good.
Is your EQ in the negative range?
It's said old men have thick skin.
It also takes you a beat longer to feel things.
You're not interested who Ms. Lin ended up marrying?
You won't even take the chance.
Go back to sleep. I'm not chatting with you. I have to fly tomorrow morning.
But anyway...
You asked if I was jealous of Lu Da Zhi.
I was a bit touched.
To be honest, I did feel a twinge of jealousy.
What now?
Nothing.
I left 200 yuan for you.
Take care of dinner yourself. I might not be back tonight.
You don't have to leave me money.
I can take care of myself.
Eat what you want. Or you can ask Granny Wen to make something.
But remember, don't go to Old Street Bistro.
When are you going to confess your feelings to Ms. Lin?
You won't meet such a nice woman again after my mom. It's like cheating in life.
There's so much going on right now. I don't have time for those things.
Putting your life in order is what's most important.
I have the problem of your grandpa.
The problem of your aunt who sells diet pills.
The problem of your Uncle Shi Fei and you.
I have to worry about all of that.
So worry.
You still shouldn't leave Ms. Lin in the cold.
Don't you know to strike while the iron is hot?
Strike while the iron is hot?
How about I whup you while it's hot? I'm taking off.
This is your only chance at getting hitched!
If you miss out on this, that's it.
I only have a grandma and no grandpa.
Don't make my son be in the same situation.
Class begins.
Parking brake, set.
What are you looking at?
I'm flirting with my girlfriend.
How come I don't see you messaging anyone when we takeoff or land?
What for?
Just a word with my son before I leave in the morning is enough.
Sending a message to say I'm taking off only takes 30 seconds.
You've been fiddling on your phone all day.
I have two girlfriends right now.
One is a beauty while the other is eccentric.
I don't know how to choose. Any tips?
Pick the one you like.
I like both. I can't choose.
Look at how cocky you are.
Choose... the one that's open.
Wu Zheng, you have ambitions.
Don't get the wrong idea. Being open means she's not narrow-minded.
Turn off your phone now.
- Let's get ready for takeoff. - Okay.
Bird strike on the left. Engine severely damaged.
Notify control tower and request for turn around.
Mayday, mayday, mayday.
SK2587 seems to have been hit by a bird.
Engine One malfunctioned. Engine Two currently normal.
We are proceeding northwest.
Requesting turn around, requesting turn around.
SK2587, copy that. All runways clear for landing.
Wind 73 degrees 5 knots.
Pudong Tower, SK2587 maintaining 3,500 meter altitude.
Waiting for heading.
SK2587, Hongqiao runway 06 also open for landing.
Tell me if you want to try for Hongqiao.
SK2587, requesting Pudong runway 09 right.
SK2587, wind 75 degrees, under 5 knots, runway 09 right clear for landing.
Prepare for turn around descent.
Engine severe damage checklist.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Our plane has encountered technical difficulties.
We're returning to the airport.
I'm deeply sorry for any inconveniences.
Please remain in your seats and fasten your seatbelts.
We will soon be landing in Pudong International Airport.
I'm going to be late for work.
What's going on?
- This is infuriating. - We're going back again.
We're going back to Pudong.
Parking brakes.
Set.
APU running.
Shutdown. Shutdown checklist.
- Parking brake. - Set.
Shutdown checklist complete.
Wu Zheng, that was a close call.
We had luck on our side.
Most importantly, we regularly receive training so it was manageable.
How come I feel as if every flight with you is tougher than the simulator?
It was not too disastrous this time. We only had a single engine out.
If we had double engine failures
even if you give me a river
I'm not sure I could land successfully like Sullenberger.
Why did I have to watch "Sully" last night?
See? Now I got a bird strike.
You're quite superstitious.
Wu Zheng, you're still the best.
Why else would you be my forever idol?
[Tian Ji Airline flight SK2587 was hit by a bird shortly after takeoff.]
Were you on this morning's flight to Fuzhou?
Please reply immediately when you get this message.
[Contact Headquarters 24 Hour Hotline]
Hello.
I'd like to ask which captain was flying the flight that was hit by a bird today.
You can't tell me?
I'm not inquiring about private information. I--
Okay, that's fine.
Please tell me which flight Captain Wu Zheng is flying today.
Never mind.
Forget it. It's okay.
Captain Zheng.
This is my flight report.
This is mine.
Okay, go take a break and wait in the conference room.
You'll meet with the investigative team later.
Relax. Don't be nervous.
I got your back.
Bye.
Last week's Jazz Carnival Night only had a small turnout.
Speak freely. What happened?
After the event, we passed out a questionnaire.
A third of the people weren't sure about the time and location.
A third weren't too familiar with jazz.
These might be the reasons for the low turnout.
Yes, we didn't have much time for correspondence with the local government
so we practically had zero time for publicity.
A lot of people didn't know about our event.
I'd like to discuss whether there are better advertising options.
Right. We were quite rushed last time.
However, I think our professionalism and content are still solid.
The low turnout was indeed quite disappointing.
Mr. Shi, don't be too disappointed.
The local government still really liked our Jazz Carnival Night.
Even though the performance didn't go as well as we wanted
and they also felt it was a shame
the good news is that they want us to perform again.
We've all given it our full energy and spirit.
Let's aim for a high turnout next time.
Keep it up.
- Okay. - Let's look to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li, what are you doing? We're talking about you.
On your phone again? What were we talking about? Repeat it.
Mr. Shi, there's some news I think you should know about.
There was a plane that took off from Pudong.
It was struck by a bird midway and it returned to the airport.
This is like a real-life "Sully".
What is your friend's name?
Isn't he a pilot? Could he have been the one flying this?
What are you saying? Don't jinx it.
Which airline was it?
Tian Ji Airlines.
Pick up!
I have been all questioned out.
I was nearly dozing off during the psychological counseling at the end.
I lost count of how many times I've had to describe the incident.
I can now recite the aviation handbook and operating procedures.
This is good. We don't get much vacation time. We can get some rest.
All right, Boss.
I finally know which girl to choose.
The bird strike knocked you to your senses?
When the incident first happened
the weird and eccentric girl suddenly popped into my mind.
I think I must like her.
Boss, do you think I should buy her a ring or flowers?
Boss!
Where are you going?
- Plastic surgery? Really? - He went to Korea to get it done.
Really? He grew out like that?
Yes, he's about the same as you.
That's... so fake.
Your eyes are too fake. It's obvious you're wearing circle lenses. And pink!
Xiao Han!
You guys go first.
What was up with you?
Your phone was off. You weren't answering calls.
Why was your phone off?
I was in incident investigation all day. No time for phones.
You can explain to Ms. Lin. She's been going crazy with worry.
Calls, voice messages, or texts. you haven't replied to any.
Go see her quickly. She might go to the airport to find you.
All right. Have dinner on your own.
Report!
I heard you were looking for me.
You're wrong. I wasn't looking for you.
Sorry to make you worry.
I wasn't worried about you.
You weren't?
So who left these messages for me?
Every one of them sounds like you were so worried you were about to cry.
Why don't I play one of them right now so you can hear yourself?
It--
No, stop!
Step outside with me for a moment. I have something to say to you.
I don't have anything to say to you.
All right already.
Don't be mad.
I wasn't doing it on purpose.
It's a big tree.
Look at how grand and magnificent it is.
It's so tall.
This tree was here when I was a student here.
I remember back in school...
often under this tree...
Hurry up and say what you want. I have a lot of homework to grade.
Before I took off
I actually thought about sending you a message.
Thinking doesn't count. Don't mention it if you didn't actually send it.
I'll be honest. After the incident, you were all that was on my mind.
I couldn't get rid of those thoughts.
I heard from Xiao Han you were so worried when you heard about the incident.
I think the two of us should stop being in denial.
There are some things we should say to each other.
Say what?
I've thought about it.
Why?
Why would I reject such a wonderful lady like you?
Because you like yourself more.
Yes, I'm too selfish. That's how I am.
I am indeed very selfish.
I like freedom and don't like hassle.
But all of this has changed after Xiao Han showed up.
I was really annoyed when he first showed up.
I thought he was trouble and a burden.
I wanted to run away. I didn't want to be with him. I didn't want him.
But as time went on, I suddenly felt that having someone to worry about
while being out of town is nice.
Having someone to be concerned about and having a small burden is nice.
It's a fortunate feeling to have.
Xiao Han has taken up half of my life.
I thought about it.
I still have another half.
If you don't mind, you can take that other half.
You can have it.
Big tree, you're so pitiful.
You must've heard many confessions of love from a certain someone.
I've never confessed my love before.
It's always been other people confessing to me.
You! Why are you showing off while you're confessing?
You accept?
It's a shame. It's too late.
I'm Xiao Han's teacher again.
A romance between a teacher and a parent is in violation of school regulations.
Why don't you wait until Xiao Han graduates?
I wasn't serious enough. Hold on.
Why don't I confess again seriously and you can reject me again?
No! Who confesses as a joke?
You can't take it back.
Excuse me.
- Godson. - How come you're here?
Is it because you heard about Wu Zheng so you came by because you were worried?
Come on. Go upstairs and have a seat.
Where is he?
Once he landed, he...
Went to see you-know-who.
All right, then...
It's nothing. I just came to... buy something. Go on up.
Okay. Come upstairs with me to wait for Wu Zheng.
Why would I wait for him?
Why would I wait for that dirtbag?
- Go. I'm leaving. - Look at you being so dishonest.
You're clearly worried about him but you just...
Why would I be worried about him? Get going now. Go.
Give me a kiss.
Hello?
What's up, beautiful? Come to my house tonight.
You're an older man inviting a young woman to your house.
What should I think of this?
Do all lawyers speak so bluntly?
I don't have any ulterior motives.
A friend gave me a nice bottle of wine. Let's enjoy it together tonight.
Wine?
Then I really can't go.
I have to work.
You can work anytime.
Um...
Are you afraid?
Afraid of what? I'm actually hoping you can be even bolder.
It's just that I've been at work all day and sweaty all over.
I just want to go home, shower, lie down, and watch American dramas.
Then that's all the more reason for you to come.
Two people can do those things together.
Besides, I'll provide you with
a good-looking boyfriend with amazing cooking skills.
How come you've been single when you're such a sweet talker?
Let's get back to business.
Haven't you skipped two days of being my girlfriend?
Just come on over. I'm so bored by myself.
That's settled.
All right. Wait for me.
I'll be there in 40 minutes.
Yue.
The hero is back.
- Have a coffee to settle down. - No.
Coffee won't work. Give me a bottle of wine to go.
Charge me the normal price.
Forget it. I'll give it to you for free.
Where are you going to celebrate your new lease on life?
Have you made up with Shi yet?
I'm bringing this wine to Shi Fei.
Why don't you come with me?
I can't. I have customers.
Besides, you'll be humbling yourself to apologize.
Won't you feel embarrassed if I'm there?
All right, I'll come by for a drink another day.
Bring a guitar.
If he doesn't open the door for you, you can sing to him outside.
Sing for three days straight and see if that works.
Sing to him? That would be casting pearls before swine.
- Hurry on. - Bye now.
Sorry, I was busy inside so I didn't hear you.
You want a haircut?
So our date is staying home and watching a movie.
I didn't take you out for a fancy meal or shopping. You're not mad?
Isn't this nice? This is so comfortable.
I just didn't get to go home to get changed.
Don't tell me you thought I didn't want to come
because you didn't take me out to eat and shop.
You're a financially independent woman. You've seen it all.
Would I dirty your sight with such poor taste?
You know what? I do like such cliché moves.
I've been waiting all day. Why haven't you thrown your money at me yet?
You like that?
I'm great at that.
We should go check out your house tomorrow.
Look at you.
You mind that I brought Lin Xiao Ou to see my house.
Am I that petty?
I just want to know
whether you bring women to see your house
because you want to cage them like canaries.
If that's what you think, we'll have to reconsider our relationship.
Wait.
What's this now?
First of all, women do like hearing men say they'll provide for them.
But when most young and innocent women hear this
they'll think they can stay home
to do their nails and hair, get facials, and do yoga.
But when most men your age say it
they must want her to stay at home to do laundry, cook meals, and raise kids.
They become a housewives who produce kids.
Calm down. Don't paint everyone with the same brush.
It might be...
Most men probably think that but I'm different.
I can use my actions to prove that to you.
Look.
The movie has reached its climax.
You're so candid, beautiful, and amazing.
Haven't I hit the jackpot?
Wrong.
I'm a natural at finding diamonds in the rough.
- Someone's knocking. - No, you're hearing things.
There really is someone knocking!
Who is it?
A... A bad man.
What are you doing? You--
Your phone.
Isn't that Captain Wu?
That killjoy.
- Go open the door. - Shi Fei.
I hear it! Your phone is inside!
Shi Fei.
Shi Fei, I know you're inside.
You're definitely inside.
- Let's drink. - Shi Fei, open up.
- Drink. - Shi Fei, Shi Fei, Shi Fei...
Go open the door.
- Shi Fei, petty devil. - Open the door.
- Petty devil. Shi Fei. - Open the door.
Don't listen to him.
- He has a screw loose. - Shi Fei, petty devil.
- Open the door. - Shi Fei is a petty devil.
Petty devil, open the door. Open the door.
Open up, open up.
This is about enough. You've ignored him long enough.
No. We have to keep cool.
I can't get over it unless I make him fret about it.
How come you older men turn into such babies when you're angry?
That's just how I am.
- Go open the door. - No.
- I'll call him. - See?
I know you're mad at me.
That's okay. We can duel it out.
Come out and we'll use our teeth and nails to battle to the death.
How does a showdown sound?
Go prove you're a man.
Me? I...
What about you?
Go. Hurry.
Go, go.
It's quiet now.
He left?
Go check.
Xiao Ou, where are you?
There's a showdown you can't miss.
Friends for years and...
He...
He really left?
So soon--
Surprise!
I knew you were inside!
Why were you even pretending?
I heard your phone ringing.
Aren't you a petty devil?
Hi, Captain Wu.
Ms. Ye.
What's with the thumbs up?
Didn't you mention a showdown? Come on!
Let's duke it out.
Look, Ms. Ye is here. She's a civilized person.
I'll save you the embarrassment.
You don't want to humiliate yourself in front of Ms. Ye.
How observant you are.
This is the first time in your life you've been attentive.
I don't know how Lin Xiao Ou will put up with you.
To be honest, I really was in the wrong. I handled it poorly.
I came today to apologize to you.
Pigs must be flying! You would acknowledge your mistake?
Ms. Ye, did you see that?
Who does that?
I'm open and honest, a real man.
I'm not like you, petty and pretentious.
- I'm petty? - You are!
You were apologizing just now. Now you follow up by saying I'm petty?
Okay, that's enough! Stop fighting!
Stop!
Why don't you two shake hands and put this behind you?
No!
Captain Wu, we haven't hung out in a long time.
Xiao Ou will be here soon. Go sit down and have a drink.
Look at Ms. Ye. She's civilized.
It's just different talking to a civilized person.
Sophisticated! Ms. Ye, thumbs up.
Why are you asking him to stay?
What's this?
You only brought two bottles of wine when we can drink four?
What am I supposed to drink?
I'm drinking with Ms. Ye.
You... You...
Wu Zheng, you already took Lin Xiao Ou.
- Are you going to take Ye Zi too? - You'll disturb the neighbors!
What? Disturb the neighbors?
You're not taking Ye Zi!
How come you suddenly thought of me?
Did you miss me?
How has your mom been lately?
Here.
My mom has been more stable.
She's been taking medication and I moved back home.
She's much better than before.
I just have to be home by 10 p.m. now.
Great. You've become a trustworthy teenager now.
Yep. Enough about me. You're at a new school now.
Are there any young and pretty girls?
Well, there is one girl.
- Who? - You know her.
- I know her? - Ms. Lin.
She's not considered a young girl.
What? You think she's old?
No wonder I heard she was going to a new school.
She went to your school!
What a slow reaction!
Not only did she come to my school
she's also my English teacher and teaching my class.
Xiao Han, I really envy you.
She made a video for our class and told us to keep up our studies
and even explained that she didn't leave because of my mom
and told the students to stop ostracizing me.
Once she left, I lost all interest in learning English.
That's no good. Ms. Lin is quite a good friend though.
She didn't forget to subdue the mob.
You have to study English.
Won't you be studying abroad sooner or later?
If you master English now
you won't have the problem of a language barrier
and you'll be able to adjust to life abroad even faster.
You'll also make your mom happy which will aid in her recovery. Right?
Let's not talk about my mom. How's your dad doing?
We'll talk about him later.
Xiao Han, you weren't done earlier. How's your dad doing?
Which one are you asking about?
Wu Zheng is still the same, flying every day.
His plane was struck by a bird today.
Oh, the big news with Tian Ji Airlines was about Wu Zheng?
Good thing he's skilled so disaster was averted.
Good going. I used to think Wu Zheng was a loser who couldn't do anything.
He had some hidden talents though.
Lu Da Zhi...
hasn't been doing too well lately.
I looked up his new furniture store online two days ago.
It closed down.
It's a sinking ship situation.
Nobody knows where he is. He ran off in secret.
What does Lu Da Zhi know how to do except run away when there's a problem?
Wait, what did you say? You searched for him online?
Why are you still thinking about him?
You know what he did to you.
He did wrong by you and your mom.
Your mom's business went bankrupt
but he managed to open a company out of nowhere.
It's obvious he stole money.
Did you contact him?
He's in trouble. Of course I... called him.
I called both his phones but they were both off.
I don't know if he's okay.
Xiao Han, you have to remember
how many times he betrayed you and your mom.
Lu Da Zhi isn't a good person.
Don't pay him any mind.
You'll be letting down yourself and your mom.
Stop thinking about him.
Let's go watch a movie.
Doesn't he look like a fool?
What are you guys doing? You have company.
Yes, we're doing it for others to see.
Let's drink.
That burns my eyes.
You two could burn our eyes.
Xiao Ou, it's getting kind of stuffy in here.
Why don't we go out to the balcony for some air?
No, I have class tomorrow. I have to go.
I'll give you a ride.
A ride? You drank so much. I'll just call a cab.
It's the 21st century and you two are still so reserved.
Are you going to wait until our kids are old enough to buy soy sauce
before you start to panic?
There's a problem with what you said.
Xiao Han is already 16 and taller than me.
You want soy sauce? I'll have him deliver a box to you.
Ms. Lin Xiao Ou is right!
It seems we've been doing things in the open
while they've been doing it in secret.
Enough joking. I have to go.
Are you leaving?
No, I'm going to stay a bit.
Don't stay too late.
Captain Wu, will you please take this long-winded woman away from here?
Mission accepted.
- Thanks. - Bye!
Don't drive.
How come you're not back yet?
Hello?
[Recent calls: Unknown]
I'm off tomorrow. I'll take you to dinner.
I have a professional seminar tomorrow so I'm afraid I can't.
Then the day after tomorrow.
I have to make up for missed lessons. It was scheduled in advance.
The weekend. You're sure to have time on the weekend.
Xiao Han said your school doesn't have that many extracurricular activities.
Life happens. Plans change.
It's only Tuesday today.
Who knows what will happen this weekend? We can revisit this on Friday.
You're using all sorts of excuses.
Are you punishing me for neglecting you before?
Good punishment.
I'm not that petty.
We have plenty of time. What's the rush?
I think you want to...
take revenge on me.
I'll pick you up at school tomorrow.
I said I have a seminar tomorrow. You can wait to hear from me.
I'll be waiting.
Ms. Lin, I'm home.
You should go to bed soon.
Back?
- Why aren't you sleeping? - Drink some water.
You smell like alcohol. Have you been drinking?
I don't have a mom anymore. Don't make me lose my dad too.
Don't you have school tomorrow?
Give that to me. I'm thirsty.
You look pleased as punch.
Did it work out with Ms. Lin?
Disrespectful brat.
What are you saying?
Way to go. You move fast.
Let's talk. How about transferring schools?
You even want me to transfer schools?
Wait. If I'm at school, won't you and Ms. Lin be even closer?
I'm not doing anything to avoid arousing suspicion. This won't do.
My school doesn't allow teachers and parents to be together, right?
Are you growing a beard? You understand quite a lot.
Now you have to be nice to me.
Hold on.
You better not turn your back on me.
Get to sleep.
You're home? Then hurry and shower and sleep.
Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?
Don't secretly miss me
even though I'm secretly missing you.
- You're not sleep yet? - No.
What are you doing?
I'm watching an American drama.
You're not using that as an excuse to check up on me, are you?
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
I don't have time to do that.
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 move too fast in your relationship with Shi Fei.
