[The Way We Were]
[Episode 14]
Do you think I cried to get the job, just like Laura did?
You went to the professor's office to cry to show you're weak and helpless.
So Professor Andersen gave you the job.
But you're not qualified for this job.
It is true that you stole the job from Laura.
Your benefit was based on other people's loss.
If all of this is true,
I think no matter how you explain it, it would look...
pointless.
Why didn't you say it then?
It seems like you were helping me.
You made Laura apologize in front of everybody.
You feel just like she does.
You thought I just used my feminine traits.
You think I was taking away what belongs to others in a undignified way.
I don't think this is important at all.
Come in.
- Professor. - Xiao. How can I help you?
Is it true that because of me, you stopped the agreement with Laura?
Oh, about that, no. Actually my agreement with her had just finished.
If it weren't for me, would Laura still be your assistant?
Maybe, but maybe some other person too.
What? Is someone putting pressure on you?
Did someone say something to you? Was it Laura?
I am a first year graduate student.
I couldn't get this job without your help.
Look. I just distributed the job to the person who needed it the most.
Don't take Laura's words to heart.
If I got this job because you feel sorry for me,
it's not fair. So I quit.
Do you want me to return the job to Laura?
That's your decision. But Laura was very upset about losing this job.
I think maybe she needs it. She needs your help.
Well, you're telling me this. What else can I say?
I will never forget your kindness. Thank you professor.
How will you pay for your living expenses?
Don't worry I will find a way.
Don't forget, we Chinese can survive anything.
Many students compete fiercely for these relatively few on-campus jobs.
I think it's impossible for you to find a better job with higher salary.
I know that. If I can't find a job on campus,
I would find a job off campus.
You can't apply for CPT to work legally off campus during your first year.
So I wouldn't advise you work illegally off campus.
It's risky.
I will pay attention to all related job vacancies next year.
As soon as an employer is sure he wants to hire you,
then you can apply for a CPT through the International Students Office,
which will allow you to work legally off campus.
I'm not sure I will be so lucky.
Xiao. I wish you good luck.
Thank you professor.
Xiao.
Once you have experience with on campus work, and,
if you think this is fair, I will hire you as my assistant.
No problem. Bye professor.
Hi Catherine, I want to ask you for a favor.
Can you ask Laura out for me?
It was not revenge.
I just want to have a chat with her all calmly.
To clear out the misunderstanding.
OK, the fast food restaurant then.
Ok, thank you. Bye.
Hi. Hello.
Hi.
Thank you for seeing me, Laura.
So, what do you want to say to me?
I just want to tell you that I resigned as Professor Anderson's assistant today.
I respect your feelings.
I agreed that it is not fair that I got this job.
I want to apologize to you.
You are apologizing to me?
The reason why I accepted this job...
is because my mother was in a car accident.
So my family is having immeasurable troubles.
I knew that, actually. Catherine told me.
I'm sorry. Xiao Qing.
I only heard from Monica about it a few days ago.
At the time, professor gave me the job to keep me from quitting school and going back to China.
That's why you saw me crying in his office, Laura.
I can't force you to change the way you feel.
I only hope you don't misunderstand Professor Anderson.
I can't guarantee that you will get your job back.
But I am still sorry that I took it from you.
Well, actually, I just came back from Professor Anderson's office.
And he told me that you had asked him to give my job back.
What? So you got your job back?
Yeah.
Great. That's all I wanted to say.
Actually I have something I would like to say.
Xiao Qing. I am so sorry,
for my ill intentions towards you. And if you would like...
you can spill something on me.
I prefer to drink it.
Ok.
Thank you.
Night manager's work duties.
Peace is what makes money. If customers hit you or insult you, don't hit back.
Smile to customers when they get here and when they leave.
Sir, sir, sir.
Your first duty is the registration and check in for all the rooms.
Many customers only stay for one or two hours.
Some people stay overnight. It was hourly rate.
Make sure you only take cash.
The computer at the reception has the check out time set up automatically.
You need to knock on the door to remind them 10 minutes before check out time.
Otherwise those who are still making passionate love,
and those who are lazy,
they would never check out. Do you remember?
- What am I gonna do if it doesn't work? - You remind them one more time.
The next duty: remind the customers. Time's up.
The right position to do it.
I have to remind you three times for this important thing: don't face the door.
Don't face the door. Don't face the door.
Oh.
You need to lean against the wall and slowly approach the door.
Then use one hand -
remind them with your high voice:
Time's uuuupppp!
Sorry.
You looked like a monkey.
You must do what I said.
I am being responsible to you, understand?
As a night manager,
this is your battlefield. Battlefield. You know?
I know.
After every customer leaves, you need to look carefully.
You need to have the smell of a dog and the sensitivity of a cat.
Pillows. Sometimes it's the front, sometimes it's the back. Replace the old ones.
Put on the new ones and put the old ones in the storage room. You know?
Wait, boss.
Isn't this the cleaner's job?
Do I have to do this too?
Look, you are the night manager.
You're also the cleaner of the rooms.
That's white collar work and blue collar work.
Look. I am the boss.
I am also the day manager and the cleaner.
You tell me if I am blue collar or white collar?
Huh. Fine.
Your battles usually start...
before dawn.
Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming. Room 211 is waiting to be cleaned.
Copy that.
Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming. Come to the reception right now. Two guests are waiting to pay.
Huh? Copy copy. Which room?
Get the check? I'll be there right away.
Time is up.
Time is -
What the fuck do you want?
Get the fuck out of here, you son of a bitch.
I'm so sorry.
Time is up.
Go away.
I said shut the fuck up - Ok sorry sorry.
Sorry please, thank you.
Fuck you.
[Reception]
I told you one night working here beats ten years of studying.
Eat it before it gets cold.
They made up?
Yes. The crisis is finally over.
- I can relax and go back to China. - That's good.
What happened to the conversation last time about the investment?
She rejected firmly.
He doesn't want anything do to with me financially.
But he's just doing it for you.
I couldn't force him.
If we tell him everything about our plans and steps...
then make him accept it. How difficult would it be?
That's almost impossible.
He is really my son.
So we don't let him know. Let him play along without knowing.
But it wouldn't take long...
before he guesses it.
He will come ask me at a certain time and I will take care of it.
When the time comes, what happened already happened.
He doesn't have any other option but to accept it.
I understand.
Bye.
Father.
Do you have anything else to say to me before you go back to China?
No. I just want to tell you...
some things are happening.
Some things... will happen sooner or later.
Rejecting Shu Che's proposal...
Our love can't be announced publicly.
Aside from these, there must be other things you need me to do.
After I leave, some things will happen in front of your eyes.
You will realize it before anyone else does...
what they mean.
I can't ask you to do more...
for me or for our family.
But at least you can be silent.
One day, I want you to stop Shu Che...
before he can possibly do something...
to harm both of our families.
Daughter.
I have to tell you I'm sorry.
I know, this word...
is not enough to express how I feel right now.
But I have to say it.
Yes. I can give you lots of money now.
I can make you live a good life.
I will give you more.
Stocks, wealth, status, position.
A business empire with tens of thousands of staff.
But I know, the more I give you,
the less free you will be.
Isn't that my fate?
One day, if you don't want these things I could give you,
I hope that I can give you your freedom back. Just not now.

I get that you're worried when I fly normally.
Tomorrow I'm taking Miao Ying's dad's private jet. Why are you still worried?
I get to enjoy my daughter-in-law's benefit in advance.
Shu Che. Promise me you won't be too hard on Miao Ying.
Relax. I will love her the way I always do.
I will wait patiently...
till she is willing to marry me.
Stupid boy. You don't need to doubt that.
How could she not want to marry you?
Mom. Tell me about that woman my dad was having an affair with.
Why did you bring her up all of a sudden?
I want to know more about it.
This has nothing to do with you, so don't ask.
I told you it was in the past.
She has nothing to do with me. It's true.
But what about my dad and you? Do you not have anything to do with me either?
Is it really in the past?
Mom. Don't fake in front of me.
How long do you want to keep this to yourself for?
If you don't have anyone to talk, you can talk to me.
If nobody can help you, I can help.
Mom. Even though I can't always be by your side,
you need to promise me, no matter what happened,
you need to talk to me.
Remember, under any circumstance,
I got your back.
Mom. I will be so worried if you just go back like this.
Miao Ying, we will be family in a few years.
We will hold a nice wedding for you and Shu Che in Yanzhou.
Thank you, Auntie.
Shu Che, how is the development of that domain name analysis service project you have?
- It's on track. - Do yo have any difficulties?
No.
Remember this. At any time,
I'm willing to share my more than twenty years experience of management
and resources with you.
Thank you.
I wish you success.
Dad.
When I go home, I want to take this jet too.
Based on what rights?
In any case, I'm the second shareholder.
You? The second shareholder?
Remember this.
If you don't solve that business transaction marriage,
don't even think of sitting in this jet for the rest of your life.
Remember this. Without my consent, if he forces his way into the jet, report to me immediately.
Sis, you are the only biological child.
President Cheng, Madam Shu, please get ready to board the jet.
We will be taking off in ten minutes.
Take care.
Have a good trip.
Watch your health.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
Son.
Have a good trip.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye, Dad.
Let's go. After you.
I'm only here just to suffer humiliation.
- Hello. - Hello, Goddess.
I was predicting. You just got off from your lecture, right?
I just got out from the lecture room. What's up? Changing to be a fortune teller?
This is called our heart is connected to each other.
I will pick you up. Let's go for afternoon tea.
You didn't do a proper prediction. I still have another lecture.
Let's change it to dinner then. I will pick you up later.
I don't have the time.
You don't even have time to eat?
Do academic overlords like you on battery?
Kiddo, I really don't have time to play with you. Find someone else. Be good. Bye bye.
I'm going to look for her.
Rudy! Rudy! Your wife is here.
Dear. Dear, I'm here.
You smell good.
What are you doing here?
What's with the suitcase?
Of course, I'm moving in to live here.
Go down now.
Who says you could live here?
Moreover, my father hasn't left yet.
Your father has already left.
How did you know?
You still don't feel bad saying this? Your father has left. Shouldn't you have told me about it?
It was too late for me to tell you.
Could it be that when your father left, you already predicted that your lovely wife will come?
and waited here for me.
I didn't bathe just for you.
Also, who allowed you to move in here?
I don't need your consent.
A legally married couple living together is just right and proper.
Wait, wait.
I'm the boss here. My words count.
Sister Ma, bring my suitcase up.
Sister Ma, leave it there first.
You are not allowed to go up.
There is something fishy going on.
What do you mean?
Move aside.
Don't go up. There is nothing to see there.
Don't go up.
Did you find anyone?
Look again and check if there is any.

Where is the "ghost"?
There is none but it doesn't mean there wouldn't be any.
I had enough of you!
This is a heartless infringement and violent trampling of my
individual freedom and sovereign right over my territory.
Get lost now or face the consequences.
What are you going to do? What consequences?
Can't you see that I'm just flirting with you?
I only saw a woman going wild.
What an idiot.
Lovers like us have been separated by your father for such a long time.
It wasn't easy for him to leave.
I wanted to see you immediately. Is that wrong?
Your idea is right, but your method is too extreme.
I just came to see you because I miss you. How is that being extreme?
You can express your yearning for me.
but without my consent, don't even dream of moving in here.
Why can't I move in here?
Are you keeping this place for someone else?
It really has nothing to do with anyone else.
Luca, let me tell you about the principle of love.
Fine. I'm all ears. Tell me what's the principle of love.
In love, there must be reciprocity.
If there's none, then it's love. You love me, right?
You love me
But I should have the same degree of love towards you.
This way, you can move in here more smoothly and everyone will be happy.
But you have never asked me
if I was willing or if I love you.
I'm asking you now. Do you love me?
I don't love you.
You don't love me?
I am just going to violently trample on you, so what?!
Just give me every trick you have and I'll bear the consequences by myself!
Don't! Look.
Flirting just changed into spatter in less than a minute.
If you keep being like this, how could I develop the same degree of love towards you?
I already told you many times.
Marriage can be a deal but love can't be forced and bought.
Do you know what you were like just now?
A tyrant trying to force himself on a woman.
So what if I'm a tyrant?! I just have to force myself on the woman!
What can you do?!
Don't... It's easy to forcibly occupy a person,
- but getting his heart is hard. - Tell me.
How could I get your heart?
I am a normal person. Please use normal weapon on me.
What normal weapon?
That is, dating,
confession, courting, sweets, crispy.
All those romantic tricks that one will love to see, you must do them all.
I have already used these on you.
But your mentality wasn't right causing your actions to become...
Everything became forced.
- Husband, I think— - Wrong!
The start of your statement is wrong.
The word husband is highlighting our marriage relation.
To a man,
the dating process is what's enchanting.
If you two are already living your days together, what's still the point?
You're saying that marriage is the grave of love?
Correct! Moreover, there isn't really any love between us.
It's just piling up empty coffins for show, yet you just have to insist to pull me inside it. It's creepy.
There is love.
It's just that I love you more. I can work hard.
We just married first before dating. Let's work hard to make love blossom.
But pursuing and developing love isn't through non-stop pestering.
You should forget our legal marriage relation.
You should become like Little Lolita
who had her first awakening of love, having this unspoken love inside her, and is playing hard to get.
Find that initial love feeling.
Being reserved is very important.
When I start to court you, you must comply and don't reject it.
I can reject.
If you'll just reject me, why must I still make it hard on myself?
If I reject, you can continue to chase after me.
If it doesn't work once or twice, you can try the third time.
Even if you suffer defeat over and over - the more you're defeated the braver you'll get.
With a long term persistence,
maybe I'll get silently educated by you.
Having twists and turns like this makes it more dramatic and provoking.
How do you like me to court you?
If I tell you the strategies,
how could you still touch my heart? You should do this on your own.
Okay, it's fun. Let's bring it on then.
I'll put the harsh words first then. You might not be able to win me over.
I understand. This is the rule of the game. I must know to accept defeat.
If I can't get you, I will admit defeat.
This is the way.
Anyway, the worst scenario will still be back to this way.
You will still be my husband.
Can I start courting you now?
Dear, I would like to invite you to kiss me now.
I'm rejecting this simple and rude request of yours.
I would like to invite you to hold my hands, go to the beach and bask in the sun.
Sorry. I have a date. I'm fully booked today.
Please come early tomorrow.
With who do you have a date? Do you have another woman?
The pursuer has no right to know the private life of the person being pursued.
And she must accept that it's a free competition.
I can agree with your every condition except this one. I won't allow for any competitor.
The power to set the rules is in the hands of the person being pursued, which is me.
Harassing and pestering is a severe violation.
If you keep being pestering me endlessly, I'll directly announced that you're out.
Should I invite you to leave or should I kick you out instead?
I will be the first to arrive here tomorrow.
[Cheng Ran]
Young Master, what do you want again?
I'm picking you up for dinner.
I'm already at the college. Where are you?
I already told you that I don't have the time.
I'm already here. Let's just meet.
I still have something to attend to. I have already left.
You are still in college, right?
I have already left much earlier. I'm already not at the college.
Why don't I believe you?
You can believe it or not.
Who is this?
Karmic retribution for lying occurs in one's lifetime.
The penalty is, you must have dinner with me.
I really don't have the time. I'm not joking with you. Find someone else. Okay?
What's so urgent?
Mind your own business.
Let me give you a lift. It's faster than you riding the bike.
Thanks. No need. Bye.
What's going on? She's so secretive.
Hey. Look.
Fifteen minutes is my limit.
You already challenged me twice this week.
I'm so sorry. I won't be late again.
Hurry.
Hi guys. How can I help?
There are no more onions.
Do you know how to peel off the skins?
- Yes. - Okay.
Come over here, Jin.
Take them outside. Finish them in half an hour.
Half an hour?
It's only half a basket.
Others could get it done like in fifteen minutes.
I gave you thirty minutes because you are a newbie.
- Any problems? - Okay, no problem.
How could I possibly finish these in thirty minutes?
I must have seen a ghost.
Who taught you to peel onions like this?
- You can speak Mandarin? - Surprised?
My mother...is Chinese.
If you don't know how to the next time, just say so.
Don't do meaningless things like acting tough.
I'm just not yet used to doing it.
With your speed, it's impossible for you to complete it.
Come.
Let me teach you.
Hold this properly.
Thanks.
Let me try.
You did extremely well.
You are smart and beautiful.
Thanks.
I have finished.
Okay. De-shell the shrimps.
- Okay. - Wait a minute.
Wash the vegetables first and then de-shell the shrimps.
