[Episode 24]
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...
Hi, Xiao Ou.
Uh...
I'm outside your place right now.
Come out. I'll take you on a ride.
Sorry. Please find someone else for your nightlife activities.
I have an important interview tomorrow morning. I need to sleep.
Interview? You...
You have an interview tomorrow?
How's this?
My company is lacking a vice president.
You don't need to interview. You can come in tomorrow to be vice president.
Thank you for thinking so highly of me
but I know nothing about your line of work nor am I interested.
Find someone else. I need to sleep now.
Wait, wait! Don't go to sleep yet.
So what kind of job are you interviewing for tomorrow?
Maybe I can help?
I know you're very resourceful
but would you know someone at a translation agency too?
Translation agency?
Yes!
There's social media, right?
Don't people say you'll only need six people to make the right connection?
I'll give it a try.
Thank you. You don't need to waste anymore efforts on me. Goodbye.
I sent my car in for maintenance.
Drop me off at the subway station tomorrow.
Okay.
Lin Xiao Ou!
Lin Xiao Ou?
You have an admirer so soon?
Invite him up so I can check him out.
He doesn't even have a one percent chance.
Why should I invite him up?
He doesn't look too bad.
His clothes aren't bad either.
He also has a good eye for beauty.
You saw him?
I saw him when I was throwing out the trash.
He asked me how to get to our place.
I think he's all right. Why don't you like him?
Please. I'm in no mood for relationships right now.
He isn't my cup of tea either.
All right. Don't forget about tomorrow morning.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
English Major Band 8.
You've also been an English teacher.
Business English.
You should have no problems.
Oral English won't be a problem
but I might be a bit lacking in professional experience.
You can gain experience as you work. Sit.
There happens to be a field job this afternoon.
Why don't you give it a try?
I'm hired?
But I haven't signed an employment agreement yet.
Our agency is in urgent need of talent.
We only have one way to try out new hires.
Once you successfully complete three jobs
we will officially hire you on the spot.
Monthly salary is 12,000 yuan.
That doesn't even include your cut from each job.
There's no probation period?
Isn't a probation period of three to six months the norm?
Our agency has hired over a hundred translators in this way.
We don't care about the false pretenses. Getting things done is what matters.
Start working as soon as you can and prove yourself with your abilities.
There's a client who has a meeting with a foreign client in the afternoon.
Go get ready.
Are there any files I can look at? I want to review them beforehand.
No problem.
I'll have Xiao Zhang get it for you.
- Xiao Zhang, bring me that file. - Okay.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
What kind of script is this? This character is so poorly written.
These lines are so hard to pronounce. How can I act it out?
It is a bit hard to pronounce.
There were also a lot of typos. I already fixed them.
If there are any words you're unfamiliar with
you can tell me and I'll add phonetic transcription.
How come you're so smart?
I'm familiar with the Xinhua dictionary. Are there any unfamiliar words?
Why don't you get a writer to change the whole script for me?
Okay, enough. Mr. Luo, let's not fuss about the script anymore.
The director holds a lot of authority and also started out as a writer.
He must have influenced the script quite a bit.
Don't make anymore changes to the script.
There are always directors like that. Is he the one acting or am I?
If I'm to act, then I need to believe in this character.
How can I act it out if I don't believe in it?
That makes perfect sense.
So why don't you make your demands after you've joined the crew?
What can he say if filming has already started?
Won't he have to change it to however you want it?
Let me tell you some good news.
The skincare brand, Yunifang, that has been all the rage lately
is looking for a spokesperson.
- I got it for you. - Has the contract been signed?
I already got it for you. Of course the contract is signed.
All right. They have good taste.
They use a unique blend of ingredients, especially in their facial masks.
Try them out and learn more about their products.
Make use of your time to work on your figure.
Xiao Han, did you bring the masks?
- Yes. - Good.
And have you arranged for the gym class for ripped abs?
I already called the trainer. We can start training in an hour.
- Good. - These are the masks.
Okay.
Let's go.
There's one more minute until the driver arrives.
Uncle Shi Fei!
How have you been doing as a celebrity?
No, I'm not the celebrity. He is.
This is the famous actor, Mr. Luo Xiang.
Mr. Luo, this is Shi Fei
the boss of Mandolin, the performance company downstairs.
- He's my godfather. - Hello.
I see you on TV all the time.
You act really well.
I really admire you.
- What's up with him? - Something loose up here.
Get to work. Go, go.
You really talk a lot sometimes.
Don't say anything if you shouldn't.
Sorry.
You've been with me for several days now.
Didn't the company train you?
You aren't supposed to tell others my identity or itinerary.
Who will be responsible if fans lie in wait for me?
Don't introduce me to just anyone.
They'll greet me and then go around spreading rumors about me.
Who will be responsible if something happens?
Uncle Shi Fei has quite a large business.
- He wouldn't need-- - Don't explain. Always obey.
The company should have taught you that. Got it?
Close the door.
Good afternoon, students.
Starting today, I will be your homeroom teacher.
Ms. Wang, didn't Ms. Lin only take a few days off?
Are you her substitute?
The principal didn't say I am a substitute.
Therefore, from now on, I will be your official homeroom teacher.
My demands of you are different from what Ms. Lin had.
First, you spoke without raising your hand.
This is in violation of classroom rules.
I will put an end to that.
Second, tardy students are to stand at the door and say, "Report!"
They are not to enter until I allow them in.
Third, before class begins
you must have course materials at the ready.
If you bring in anything that is irrelevant to our class
will be confiscated if I see them.
All right, let's begin class now.
Xiao Ou, it's great that you came.
Let me give you an introduction first.
This workshop is a processing plant.
We only have 20 workers or so.
We mainly make clothes.
Look.
These are sent to Asia and Africa.
Look at this material. It's imported and of fine quality.
Thank you.
You've had a look at the information.
Everything just now were samples. You can familiarize yourself with them.
Okay.
Next, we're going to pick up a client at the airport.
Okay.
We won't be returning here.
We'll go directly to another factory.
You just have to help me tell the foreign businessman
that the factory is mine.
Why aren't we returning here?
This factory doesn't satisfy the foreigner's demands.
In reality, the products and production line are all the same.
The quality is also about the same.
However, foreigners' demands for sanitation are too high.
Don't worry. The other factory belongs to my friend.
We drink together often and have a close relationship.
Won't that be lying?
If the truth comes out, you'll lose the business deal.
As long as you don't tell, that won't happen.
I think you should be on the side of our clothing factory, right?
Even so, I can't lie without batting an eye.
Sorry, I can't take this job.
Hello, Boss?
Xiao Ou, what's going on? How could you walk out on the client?
It's your first day on the job and your first task.
If you don't do a good job on this, how can I trust you
and give you another task?
I really can't do this assignment and don't assign it to me again.
You're letting down my faith in you.
Come back to the office first.
I have an urgent document that needs translating.
Okay.
What?
Why did your mom have to cause a fuss at the school?
Is she stirring up trouble?
You're one to talk. When your dad came to the school...
He wasn't up to any good either.
My dad? At least he wasn't so ruthless.
Your mom is going to gather all the parents
to remove the principal from his post.
That's why Ms. Lin was forced to resign.
Ms. Lin isn't on vacation? She was driven away by your mom?
That's crossing the line.
Zhou Zhou, your mom has gone too far.
Zhou Zhou, where are you going?
What are you doing?
Zhou Zhou! Zhou Zhou!
Couldn't you guys keep your mouths shut?
You've pissed him off.
We didn't say anything wrong.
Now that you have time, you remember you have a blog?
I thank you on behalf of all your readers.
I haven't updated in a long time.
I'm guessing I'll have even less time when work picks up.
This cup is on me.
Thanks.
What are you up to?
Aren't you on vacation? How come you have so much free time?
I just came back from Thailand.
I brought back a very effective pain relief cream for you. Try it.
My son bought the exact same thing for me.
I don't need it. Thank you.
Looks like this really is effective.
The more the better. Just take it.
No, Fei Wen Li. You're so good to me. I...
I can't repay you.
I don't need you to.
Just silently accept it.
Aren't you single right now?
When you get a girlfriend, I'll get out of the way.
Beautiful Fei, I have some spices here.
I'd like to ask you to bring some back for me the next time you go to Thailand.
There's more in the back. Come look.
Fei Wen Li is an expert. Go help Yue.
- I'll be relying on you. - Yes, it's all on you.
Go.
Come, help me take a look.
Hello, Zhou Zhou? What is it?
Ms. Lin, I... want to see you.
Where are you? How come you're not in class?
Miss, are you really not coming back to school?
My resignation didn't have anything to do with you. Don't feel guilty.
I'm just tired and want a break.
It doesn't sound like you're at school.
Are you outside? What happened?
Hold on. I'll come find you.
Boss, this is the stage plan. You can sign if there are no problems.
- Okay. - Good.
Boss, I have to go out for something urgent.
I'll finish the document at home tonight and send it to you later. All right?
It's a confidential file. You can't take it with you.
Since I'm translating it, it's already in my brain.
Are you going to delete it from my mind too?
Is there not even this basic level of trust?
Lin, you haven't contributed to the company
but have quite a lot of demands for your individual rights.
It's like this, Boss.
I have a student who just called me.
He said he has an emergency. I have to see him.
How about this?
Give me the deadline for that job. I'll finish it in time.
It needs to be submitted by 6 p.m. today.
Even if you hurry, you might not be able to finish.
Are you still going to leave?
You are a translator now, not a teacher.
You should evaluate your priorities.
Zhou Zhou, I'm so sorry. I really can't step away from work at the moment.
My request for time off was denied.
Why don't you tell me where you are? I can come find you after 6 p.m.
It's okay, Miss. It's no rush.
Are your classmates ostracizing you?
No, Miss.
It's okay. Do your work. I'll wait for you.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
10. Keep going!
11.
One more.
How many times have I told you?
Put your phone on silent when you're at work.
Don't you remember?
I'll turn it off. I'm sorry. It's off.
Water.
Enough.
The seat.
Another set.
Two.
Three.
Someone's taking a picture over there. Clear out the area.
Okay. Nine.
10.
Sorry, please stop taking pictures.
- No pictures allowed here. - Sorry.
- Let me take two. - I know. You really can't. Sorry.
Please leave. Next time, all right?
It's clear.
How many have you done?
You weren't counting. How would I know?
Yes, right. Sorry.
Okay.
Boss, it's finished.
Good. That was quick.
Very timely.
Not bad.
That's why I'll put up with your temper.
Let's go. I'm meeting an important American client tonight.
We have to go to the bar with him.
Wait.
I'm not expected to be on call the whole day, am I?
I came back as soon as I got your call at noon.
I haven't even had lunch yet.
There's only one principle in our profession.
The client comes first.
Besides, going to the bar isn't considered work.
I'm just taking you out to have a good time and drink with the client.
Is that difficult?
I applied to be a translator, not a hostess.
Work is work. I will do well what I'm supposed to do.
But it cannot be mixed with my personal life.
Is this the right attitude to have at work?
I've looked at your resume.
You stayed with the school once you graduated.
You don't know the sinister side of the real world.
You're out of touch with reality.
Look at the three jobs you had today.
The first one, you walked out on the client.
The second one, you nearly took off without permission.
This third one, you just outright rejected.
You can't be so willful when working in the real world.
If this is the case, then I'm sorry. I really can't do this job.
Working at a school may be arduous
since we have to grow up with the children and learn with them
but drinking with clients really isn't something I can do.
This is a matter of principle.
How come he's not answering?
So what if this is how I am?
I don't believe I won't be able to find a job!
Work hasn't been going my way lately.
You got this. Seven, eight.
Nine.
10!
Two more, two more.
11.
12.
One more, one more.
Didn't I just tell you to put your phone on silent?
You'll affect my rhythm.
Well, I didn't dare answer.
My buddy keeps calling me. I'm guessing he needs to reach me.
It might be important.
What could it be? I'm your top priority right now.
Even if it's important, go home and answer it.
Yes, yes.
I was wrong. It won't happen again.
I'm so excited!
Can I get a picture with you?
- Thank you! - A selfie?
- Xiao Han, take a picture. - Boy, please.
- Is a picture okay? - No problem. Do it.
- It's really okay? - I'm so excited.
Give a smile.
Good.
Excellent!
- Thank you, thank you. - Thank you.
Can I get an autograph from you?
Sign right here.
Okay, sure.
- Get a pen. - I'm not washing this.
- Is that okay? - It's okay. Get a pen.
What should I write? Your name?
Your name, of course.
I'm definitely not going to wash this towel.
- Open it. - Okay. Sorry.
This is wonderful!
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
Oh, my luck!
I'm going to post this online!
I met Liu Ye!
I told you to clear the area. What were you doing?
- No, she-- - Where did she come from?
She came from inside the gym. I cleared out the outside.
You have to clear out the inside too. What if someone attacks me?
She didn't attack you. She just wanted a picture with you.
You agreed to it too. I asked you if it was okay.
You said yes, it's okay.
You have to look at the situation! Could I have refused?
You have to judge when it's appropriate and when it's not!
Yes, yes.
Do you want water?
- Towel! - Towel.
What the heck.
Water now.
What?
12 and one set. I'm quitting!
Just like a kid.
Done so soon?
Let's leave together.
Well done. As expected from my student.
Actually, I just quit too.
I only came to take out my anger on a punching bag.
You should've said so!
If you were mad and just quit your job
you could've punched him instead of a punching bag.
No, that's illegal.
Do you really not know his name or what?
I just couldn't stand seeing him yelling at you.
I really couldn't stand it.
Let me tell you, you were brilliant!
Liu Ye is the one he hates the most
and had just stole a lead role in a movie from him.
We usually don't dare to mention the name around him.
When you said that name, his face...
Why would you be an assistant for someone like that
and let him order you around?
Hold on. I just remembered.
I don't want to keep his picture on my phone. It'll get me ticked off.
No, no! Don't delete!
Can you send it to me? I want to save it as a memento.
Luo Xiang might have a foul temper but he's quite dedicated to his work.
I admire him for that.
This is also my first lesson in the real world
and also my first job.
I want to keep it on my phone as a reminder.
- Okay, I'll give it to you. - Send it over.
You know when to be humble and when to be proud. That's unexpected.
Look at your expression. You were acting so well.
Look at me.
I was stuck with such a difficult celebrity on my first job.
I think I'll be able to take anything on in the future.
What do I have to be afraid of?
Yes. You cannot succeed even if you betray your own dignity.
Congratulations. You already learned such a valuable lesson.
I can't worry about my dignity.
I have to worry about my stomach. I need to be fed first!
Okay, you quit your first job. Now let's go feed you.
- Good! - No.
Bravo!
One bottle isn't enough to cool my rage.
Give me a sip too. I need to cool my rage too.
Children can't drink.
Miss, take it easy. Let me ask you something.
You said you quit. You're working elsewhere now?
Stop calling me Miss.
I already quit.
Quit? Then what should I call you? Auntie?
Granny.
Sister.
Okay.
Enough about me.
What about you? You really don't plan on returning to school?
Will you be able to survive in show business with your temper?
Absolutely not. I'm honestly admitting to it.
I can't survive at all.
I've been in the business for about a month and met many stars.
It's really opened my eyes.
The world is an ugly place. I'll leave if I can't take it.
But you don't seem like someone who can find a job either.
You must also be unable to accept society's...
Yes.
No matter how naughty you kids were, it still wasn't a reason for me to quit.
Now that I've left
I realized the battle of wits and courage with you guys were just child's play.
You've matured. Cheers.
Why did you leave your teaching job though?
Just because Zhou Zhou's mom went to the school and made a fuss?
She's just an annoying troublemaker. Don't pay her any attention.
It's a long story.
Anyway, I don't want to be a teacher anymore.
Oh, right. Zhou Zhou called me several times today.
Luo Xiang was watching so I didn't dare answer.
You also called me. What was that about?
Zhou Zhou also called me today.
I couldn't step away from my translating job though
so I agreed to meet him after work.
However, when I called him after work, his phone was off.
That's why I called you.
Really? I'll call him now.
Phone off? That can't be. Could he have blocked you?
You just like to make mischief.
Well?
He blocked me too!
He turned off his phone.
What could it have been?
Forget it. Let's eat first.
He's a big boy. He should be fine.
Here, eat more.
Eat.
I'm not eating. I made this for you.
- I want to discuss something. - Go ahead.
Can I stay here today?
It would certainly make me happy if you stay here.
But you have to let your mother know.
Mom...
Don't mention her.
My classmates have been ostracizing me at school the past few days.
If I go back tomorrow...
they'll continue to give me the cold shoulder.
If Ms. Lin doesn't return, the students will continue to do this to me.
Zhou Zhou, your mom isn't emotionally stable right now.
You must show her some understanding.
You're not a child anymore. You're an adult.
Show her some understanding?
How? Why don't you?
Why did you divorce?
See? You couldn't stand it anymore either.
No matter how unstable she is, that still doesn't mean...
she can carelessly hurt others.
Do you know how embarrassed and tormented I've been at school lately?
What can we do?
This is how your mom is right now.
We both know she's unstable.
But we're her family.
That's why we have to make allowances for her. All right?
No matter how angry you are at her or how many complaints you have about her
she is still your mother, not a stepmother.
You are a man.
Eat up.
Be a good boy.
Do you feel better?
If you ever feel unhappy, remember to call me.
Okay, I know, Dad.
Go on.
Dad, I'm going in now.
Zhou Zhou.
I made your favorite dessert. Have some.
Mom, I'm tired. I want to sleep.
Zhou Zhou, I apologize to you about the drawing.
I was too impulsive.
I'm letting go now.
Get up.
What are you doing? Come on.
- The car's just over there. - I'm so sleepy.
Come on, hurry up. Get up.
Open the door.
Go slowly. Don't hit your head.
- Mister, go, quickly. - Where do you want to go?
Just drive straight. I'll give you directions.
- Mister, drive faster. - Okay.
You're almost home.
No, no. Go to his house.
- Where exactly do you want to go? - Why are we going to my house?
Go to your house. I have to talk to your dad.
I'm not considered your student anymore. Why are you talking to my dad?
I want to talk to him.
Don't ask so much, kid.
You're not going to date my dad, are you?
I think Shi Fei is the best choice for you though.
No damn dating.
- Open up! - Coming!
What's all the noise for?
Open up quickly!
Hurry! Help!
- What's going on? - Hurry! Help! Quick!
Get her!
Did you drink?
I didn't drink.
Did you drink with her?
I didn't drink! I know what's not allowed!
Stay away from me.
- Why did you bring her here? - She said she wants to talk to you.
Talk to me? About what?
How come you two were together?
I quit working for Luo Xiang.
She also quit her new job.
Then she took me to dinner.
She lost her boyfriend. Now she's lost her job.
She's big trouble and you brought her here.
- Pick it up. - Why?
Go wash it. Soak it.
You're a big man! You want me to clean up your mess? Do it yourself!
You brought this trouble home. You wash it.
Quite sexy.
How come you're shirtless?
It's too early for bed.
What did you come for?
The night is still young. I came to drink with you.
What's going on here?
Why is she here?
She drank.
Not with me.
Then how come she's in your house?
Since you've already seen it, don't you think you shouldn't be here?
How can I leave before you explain?
Didn't we say you'd be out of the picture when I get a girlfriend?
You and her? I don't believe that. How can that be possible? Impossible.
You're the one suspecting. Now you're also the one not believing it.
What can I say?
Yet another one.
Is there no end to this?
How can I clean up like this? Honestly.
Legs up. Thank you.
Auntie, it's so late. Why don't you go home?
I have to clean up.
Come another day to discuss life and dreams with him. Legs up.
How can I leave before he explains to me?
Explain what to you?
What do you want him to explain to you?
He is only wearing shorts right now.
You came dressed like this to find a man who's only wearing shorts.
Is that appropriate? Can he explain himself?
You even brought wine. There must be something else on your mind.
Why don't you come again tomorrow?
Wu Zheng, do something.
I don't call the shots now.
She's going to stay at your house like this?
He carried her home.
I carried her home.
[Old Boy]
