He Wei is here too?
She often helps out here
Really?
Keke, this is a surprise
I'll come as often as I can in future
What do we do first?
Everyone's looking forward to your red bean soup
Let's go to the kitchen
Get me the sugar
-Where's the sugar? -I'll get it
How did you know I wanted a spoon?
You usually taste the soup after adding sugar
I'll go help the others
Miss...
What is it, uncle?
I have... to pee
I'll help you to the toilet
There's urine all over my shoes. It's disgusting!
Still, you shouldn't have pushed him. You're too much!
I came here to help, not to get scolded by you!
Clean him up and check whether he's hurt
Keke!
Haven't you scolded me enough?
I wasn't scolding you
You humiliated me in front of all those people
I over-reacted. I was afraid he'd got hurt
You care about others. But do you care about me?
Your shoes will be clean again after washing
But old people have brittle bones. A fall can be dangerous
I've been very accommodating...
even though you can't spend Sundays with me
I come here to volunteer my help, but all you do is pick on me
You're too much
I've told you these old folk are very lonely and pitiful
You need to be very caring and patient with them
I can't afford the time because I have more important things to do
You don't have to be here physically to help them. You can donate money
Money is secondary. What they need more is our care and concern
Don't preach at me
They're not my kith or kin
I don't see why I should waste my time and effort on them
Don't you think you're very selfish and cold?
Take the case of that old lady
You could have let He Wei celebrate her birthday for her
Then she wouldn't have passed away so sadly...
before she could celebrate her birthday
You could have helped. It wouldn't have cost you any time or effort
But you cruelly refused
So I'm selfish, cold and heartless?
How come you've only discovered these flaws of mine after 5 years?
I'm telling you in the hope that you will change
I'm not at fault. I don't need to change
I don't agree with your views, nor will I give in to them
Maybe we're not suited to each other
How do you define 'suited'? Are you and He Wei suited?
What has it got to do with her? Why must you drag her in?
You're volunteers at the home. You both have a caring heart
No wonder it's always He Wei this and He Wei that
That's enough
If you think she suits you better, than let's break off
Fine
OK, you said it. Let's break off!
Xiangxiang!
Good morning. I bought you nasi lemak
What's wrong?
Something got into my eye
Let me take a look
Yes, I see it. Let me blow it out for you
-Why did you hit him? -I didn't know that was his wife
What business is it of yours whether or not he's married?
Good thing he's forgiving, or you could end up in jail
I couldn't stand it. I thought he was toying with your feelings
Why are you so friendly with him, knowing he's married?
We studied dentistry in university together
We were partners during our internship
His wife is also my good friend
You're just... ?
We're just friends. I'd never fall for a married man
What about a divorced man?
Would you consider him?
Kelian!
Why were you in a trance?
I wasn't. I think the batter is ready
Where did you skive off to?
-We went to the toilet -It's on record
Hurry up. It has to be ready by 12.30
Kelian!
-Come with me! -I have to make the kueh dadar
They're paid to do it. They don't need your help. Come!
Lan-jie, you wanted to see me?
We've received a complaint
A customer has found hair in our products
Hair? It must be in the bread
That's impossible
It was in the kueh dadar. And there was more than one strand of hair
The customer sent these back to us
I can't believe this. Look at all the hair
Our business is already bad enough. Now this has to happen
I'll get to the bottom of this right away
Wait
You know that I put our reputation before profit
I'd rather not make money...
than compromise on the quality and hygiene of our products
Fortunately, this customer has been enjoying our kueh...
for close to 20 years
That's why she has faith in us
I know you're busy, but you must enforce stricter quality control
Such a thing must not happen again
Hua-shen!
It must be your lack of hygiene that got me in trouble
I didn't get you in trouble
No? You put hair in the kueh dadar!
Hair? There's no hair
My mum covers up her hair. How could any have dropped?
You're the oldest here and the most sickly
For goodness sake, try to pay more attention to hygiene
Being ill doesn't make me less hygienic
No? You take dozens of types of medicines a day
That can cause your hair to drop
If I find any more things in the kueh dadar,
I'll get Lan-jie to sack you!
Mum, it wasn't Hua-shen's fault
Whose fault is it then?
It's...
Yes?
Spit it out
You have nothing to say?
Stay out of things that don't concern you
I'm warning you - make sure you cover up your hair when you're working
If I find any more hair in the kueh,
I'll cut off your hair!
Especially you!
Hair? How come?
Come in!
Your movie ticket
You retrieved it? Why didn't you tell me?
I had no chance
-When did you scoop it out? -After your mum dragged you away
It's kind of fishy
What do you mean?
We've always been very hygienic. How did the hair get into the kueh?
Perhaps it was an accident
Let's hope so
Your mum's to blame. She's lax in enforcing quality checks
OK, enough about your mum
I'll wait for you outside the cinema tonight
You said you wouldn't cut class anymore
Going to the movies with you is more important
How could this be?
You said it was Hua-shen the last time. Who is it this time?
I did carry out checks
I scrutinized every piece of kueh. They were all fine
They must have done it while I was in the toilet or at a meeting
I will tell them off
Lan-jie, business has been very poor
Remember I suggested that you lay off the bad workers?
Well, I've thought about it
Here's a list of all the dead wood
Those who are too old or too young ought to go
Older workers are slow. And they're always going to the toilet
Their productivity is low
The younger ones are too playful
You spend time teaching them something, but they'll forget it the next moment
They'll have to go. What do you think?
This isn't the right time to discuss this
The important thing is to get the problem solved
My mum and I are going to set up a special committee...
to look into the matter
I intend to rope in Zhu-jie's help
Why? I'm in charge of the nonya kueh production
I just want to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible
You have a good appetite today
Well, the trouble is over. There have been no more complaints
Things aren't that simple
But there's been no more trouble
That's because we've been making stringent checks
But we can't keep that up indefinitely
Don't you find it strange?
The trouble occurred only in the kueh department but not Yuzhu's
You suspect Yuzhu?
No, but I think someone's trying to set your mum up
Set my mum up? What should we do?
Relax, I'll find out the truth
Have you found out anything yet?
If it's an inside job, the culprit is bound to strike again
Strike again? You must help my mum
Of course I will
The workers aren't very smart. If they're the ones,
I'll find them out for sure
What will you do?
We'll snoop around when they're having lunch
I'd gladly do it for you if not for Fatty and the factory
Caught you at last!
What?
I knew it was you!
I'm trying to help you, Zhen-jie
Help me indeed!
You usually call me Fatty Zhen. Why so polite all of a sudden?
Don't think I'm going to let you off!
Help! Somebody! I've caught the culprit!
I've caught the one who set me up!
I'm trying to help you!
Hush up! We'll find the culprit now that we have a lead
What's going on?
He's the one who tried to set me up
He was going to kill me because I found him out!
No, I...
You're coming with me to see Lan-jie!
Mum, he's not trying to set you up
What do you know? Let's go!
Fine! I'm not scared of you!
Auntie, I'd never do such a thing
Don't believe him. I knew someone was setting me up
I got suspicious when he was missing from the canteen
And true enough, I caught him in the act!
I was trying to get to the truth
She saw me just when I'd found this
I'm trying to help you, Fatty Zhen!
Help me? Everyone knows we can't stand each other
As if you would help me!
I'm doing it for Auntie and the factory too
I caught you in the act and you still won't own up?
Zhen-jie, let's hear him out
Your mum is so good to me. Why would I do this to her?
Lan-jie, he's been here for so long. You know what kind of man he is
He couldn't have done it
He didn't do it alone. You're his accomplice!
-What nonsense is this? -I have proof!
You two are out to get me
The trouble occurred only in my department but never in yours
You want to get rid of me to safeguard your own job!
You're in this together!
Enough! Stop maligning me
I'm not
Everyone knows that the two of you are as thick as thieves!
Mind your language, Fatty!
You mind your behaviour!
One is desperate, the other is lonely
You're a disgusting pair!
What have I got to do with this? The one he's really interested in...
You see how they behave in front of us?
Who knows what they get up to...
That's enough. You people are getting on my nerves
I will look into the matter personally
No need. The evidence speaks for itself. Just sack Lion King
You two had better come out into the open
Don't keep shaking your head
Everyone thinks I'm involved with him
It's not fair to me
I couldn't tell her before. Now I have even more reasons not to
So what are you going to do?
My mum is still hopping mad
She'll give me a tongue-lashing if I tell her now
She'll be appeased if we can find the culprit
How?
The factory is so big, with so many people coming in and out
And Fatty has put the culprit on his guard with the fuss she kicked up
How will we catch him?
Easy. Just find the person who hates her most
Everyone in the factory hates her
We'll check them all out!
The first on our list is Hua-shen
She's the 'toilet queen'. She didn't record her visits to the toilet...
and had her allowance docked
That's why I suspect that she may have...
Hua-shen? Surely not?
She's above suspicion
So we're ruling her out?
The next one...
The next on the list is Kopi-O
He's lame in one leg and a slow worker
Fatty is always giving him grief. He must be the one
Is that possible?
Sure!
I thought it was Zhen-jie
Having coffee?
Would you like some?
Nice bag. Where did you get it from?
Shijian gave it to me. Hua-shen and Caixia had quite a few too
Didn't he give you any?
They all have the same bag?
Mum, I've been looking all over for you
Why? We're about to knock off
The culprit has been caught. Everything's fine
-No... -What's wrong with you?
You'd better come out
What for? Sam and Lan-jie are at a meeting. They won't look for me
But they... they're here
I'm not budging even if the emperor's here
They're Ministry of Health officers. There's been a complaint against us
Why didn't you say so?!
This is our kueh production department
Have they found anything?
Our factory is very hygienic,
especially the kueh department where I'm in charge
Yes, we can see that
Someone is out to make trouble for us
There's something inside
But that's impossible
I started my business single- handedly, slogging my guts out
From a home factory, I expanded it into what it is today
I oversee every aspect of production personally
To live up to my customers' expectations,
I set strict demands on hygiene and quality control
Who would have thought that this would happen?
Precisely. It's all those workers' fault
I told you not to be too nice to them
They'll walk all over you
See, they put all those filthy stuff into our kueh
Now we have to close for a week
Lan-jie, this isn't the first time
We caught Lion King the other time, but you let him off
See, now he's got the entire factory into trouble
The intended target is not our factory but a certain person
Right, a certain person
Why do you look at me this way? What's it got to do with me?
The trouble is only restricted to my department
It's obviously a set-up
So you're the victim while I'm the villain?
You should change your name to 'lai', as in shirking responsibility!
I know you want to get rid of me
Lan-jie, I bet she did it
Don't you talk rot, you fatso!
You wheedled some of the workers into helping you...
make trouble for me!
I have better things to do!
Lion King was your accomplice the last time. Who is it this time?
Knock it off, both of you
Our license has been suspended
Will it solve our problem if you lay the blame on one another?
Zhen-jie, I'd like to hear your explanation
Why is it that the trouble only occurred in your department?
You promised to enforce strict quality checks
The kueh dadar batter was prepared by you
So how do you explain what happened?
It's true I mixed the kueh dadar batter myself
It was perfectly fine up to that stage
I handed it to Hui after that. You should hold her responsible
Lan-jie, we can't help it if the workers tamper with...
the batter prepared by us, can we?
My mum and I will discuss the problems during our suspension
There are many personnel issues we need to address
Oh no, we'll be out of work. They might even close down the factory
They were already going to lay off staff
Fatty Zhen thinks I'm too slow. I can forget about coming back
The cockroach was found in my batter. I'll be the first they sack
Zhen-jie won't let me off either
Relax, we can always get another job
You don't seem worried about losing your job. How come?
You think jobs are so easy to come by?
I will find you a new job, Mum. You can count on me
You're still young. It's easy for you
Your mum has worked here for years. She might not get used to a new job
How did it go, Mum?
Blame it on that vixen and Lion King!
It has nothing to do with them
Nothing?
He dares not utter a word. He's obviously feeling guilty
I beg your pardon?
I'm trying my best to put up with you. Don't go too far
I go too far?
We've been suspended thanks to you
Lan-jie made a fatal mistake by not sacking you after you were caught
You what?
You have nothing to say now?
Don't think you're safe because that vixen is on your side
Lan-jie and Sam are questioning her now
If she owns up, you'll be sent packing!
Mum, Yuzhu and Lion King aren't the culprits
What do you know?
Own up if you did it. Don't keep us on tenterhooks
You believe Fatty's nonsense?
Don't you know Zhu-jie and me?
So what? Once I find the proof, you won't be able to deny it anymore
Let me tell you this
If I find out one of you is his accomplice,
you'll be fired!
It has nothing to do with me
Mum, let them sack us if they want. Let's go
Well, that's it
Can we really come back to work in a week's time?
I don't know
I'm off. Bye
What's going to happen now?
Do you think the factory will be closed down?
I'm not worried about that. I have confidence in Auntie
It's just that...
It's just what?
I won't get to see you for one whole week
I missed class the other evening. Can I borrow your notes?
'Have you decided?'
'What are you going to do?'
Sorry to bother you
Rachel, thanks for the loan of your notes
You can borrow them next time. I have to copy out tonight's notes
He's waiting for you
Three's a crowd. I'll make a move first
Xiangxiang!
-Well? -Well what?
You missed class the other night. I can lend you my notes
No need
Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?
About the two of us... Have you come to a decision?
I've thought about it
How do I know if you're really divorced?
This is the last patient, Dr Lin. Come in
It's you again
It's not me but her
Auntie Lin
Xiaojia, what are you here for?
My tooth hurt as I was eating a chicken wing at the kindergarten
My teacher advised me to see a dentist
I was at a meeting when I was told she was making a tearful scene...
at the kindergarten, so I went and brought her here
One of her milk teeth is shaky. Please take a look at it
Don't be afraid, I'll check it for you. Does it still hurt?
Relax. I'm going to give you a checkup
You said you wanted to be a dentist, so you mustn't cry
What if your own patients cry too?
I won't be like my papa
He cried after he had his tooth pulled out
He didn't take care of his teeth. You mustn't be like him, understand?
Xiaojia, why are you still here?
I'm waiting for my papa
He had to go back to the main office for a meeting
He said he'd come back to pick up Xiaojia shortly
But there's still no sign of him
Are you closing? I'll wait outside then
You're too young. It's not safe
I called Mr Du's office
His colleague said he left in a rush after picking up a file
He even left his mobile phone behind
Are you in a hurry?
I have an appointment, but I have to stay with her
You go ahead. I'll stay with her
-I feel bad about it -Aren't you in a hurry? Go on
Thanks. Remember to lock up
What are you drawing?
A fish with whiskers?
The big fish is my papa
He wakes up every morning with bristles all over his face
He would give me a kiss...
and say 'Wake up, sleepyhead. Time to go to school'
This little fish with ribbons on it is me
Why didn't you draw Mama Fish?
Because there's only me and Papa at home
Papa!
I'm so sorry
I was called back to the main office for an emergency meeting
Then I was caught in a traffic jam on my way here
So many excuses?
I shouldn't have left her here at the clinic. I'm really sorry
Enough talking. I want my dinner
I'm sorry. Xiaojia, say goodbye to Auntie
Why? She's going to have dinner with us
I promised to treat her to fast food
Dinner? Us? Together?
Why aren't you eating? What are you thinking?
I know this is your favourite part
You asked what I was thinking
Well, I was wondering whether we might have dinner together again
I should be free after work
I'll pick you up tomorrow. We'll have dinner before class
OK
What about the day after tomorrow?
There's no class the day after tomorrow
Shall we go to the movies?
OK
Stop
Bye
Wait. You haven't told me why you changed your mind about me
Xiaojia draws really well
