[My Story For You]
[Episode 6]
Jia You.
Why are you here?
I can't be blamed for that incident.
We have to be reasonable. I--
Xiao Shan is sleeping. Lower your voice.
Why don't you talk inside?
I just have a few things to say and then I'll leave.
Come in.
How much did you drink?
I drank quite a bit at dinner.
I had another few glasses downstairs.
You stink of alcohol. Go wash up.
Jia You, why don't we give it a try?
Are you being serious?
I'm serious.
What do you like about me? I'm older than you.
You're feminine. So feminine.
I remember I gave you a piece of my mind the first time we met.
You're different from the others even when you're mad.
Go wash up.
Are you disgusted because I stink?
Then answer me.
One answer.
I can't wash up until you set my mind at ease.
Does that mean yes?
Mei Xin, be sure to take care of yourself over there.
Don't worry, Auntie.
Xiao Shan, send Mei Xin home as soon as we finish dinner.
Auntie, I want to stay with Xiao Shan tonight.
I want to spend more time talking to him.
It'll also be convenient for us to leave for the airport together tomorrow.
That's not so appropriate for a girl.
How about you share my bed with me?
Mom, it doesn't matter which bed she sleeps in.
You'll be just behind the curtains. We won't be doing anything but talking.
All right, then.
Thank you, Mom.
Listen, I heard people say America isn't as great as everybody says.
It's said people litter everywhere
and nobody picks up the fruit that falls from trees.
People also say
sanitation workers over there often go on strike for a whole week.
Just imagine how stinky the streets get.
What does that have to do with me?
I just want to tell you the reality is far different from our imagination.
Come back as soon as you finish your studies.
It'll still take four years.
I just don't understand.
When I was applying for colleges
only our class's worst students went abroad.
You're such an outstanding student. Why do you have to go abroad?
That's the wrong way of thinking.
Wouldn't it be nice to go out and see the world?
Jinghu is so big.
I moved here from Heilongjiang when I was four years old.
To this day, I still haven't seen all of Jinghu yet.
Wait for my return.
Mei Xin.
What's going on?
Mom, it's too bright outside. I can't sleep.
She has a flight to catch tomorrow. Go to sleep.
No privacy at all.
Remember to mail me. Don't call.
Phone calls are too expensive.
We can talk through mail.
What's the matter?
I'll miss you.
You'd better behave here.
Don't do anything bad.
I'm going.
[Cool Music and Video] Thank you for coming!
This is a big day for me.
I, Han Dong, started from scratch and finally have my own CD store.
Professor.
I've done wrong in the past.
Thank you for letting go of our differences
and buying my very first CD.
You were once my student, so I will always support you.
All right, all right.
It's my store's grand opening! Come in and have a look!
Everything is half off!
Awesome!
Hello, this is the call center. How can I help you?
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Hey, girl. Let's chat.
Sorry, sir. We have a rule against chatting with callers.
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Do you believe in doomsday?
Midnight of the year 2000 is the end of the world!
Sorry, miss. We have a rule against chatting with callers.
What's up? Unwanted calls again?
Not only that.
They're talking about doomsday so much lately that I'm starting to believe it.
What if we really don't make it to the year 2000?
I haven't had a boyfriend yet.
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Let's chat for a while. I just got dumped.
- Sorry-- - Wait, I don't mean to bother you.
I just want someone to talk to.
My girlfriend and I just broke up and she just left my house.
I had a crush on her for so many years. It wasn't easy for us to get together.
Don't be so upset.
Look out the window. There are so many people out there.
Everybody has experienced heartbreak before. You're not the only one.
Besides, don't assume you're so special that everybody should like you.
[Jinghu Television Station]
Li Song, cover for me! My sister is at the police station!
Call if you need anything!
[Huaihai Police Station]
All right, take him outside.
Go.
Sorry, excuse me!
You...
Zhang Chang Gong?
He's your brother?
Yes, by blood.
You two aren't alike at all. He's a more responsible person than you.
Back in the day, he remained cool-headed even when wrongly accused.
He didn't seem like a child who had just entered the workforce.
What happened?
The man who just left
called me and said he was just dumped and wanted to kill himself.
It sounded like an emergency, so I wanted to save him.
In the end, he wanted to rob me.
The one I just ran into?
You believe everything people say?
He made it sound so real.
Why did you pick up a call from a stranger?
Weren't you at the hospital? Do nurses answer calls too?
Don't you know your sister is an operator at the paging call center?
Her?
Paging operator?
Look at me.
When did you quit? Have you told Mom and Dad?
- Chang Gong. - Don't touch me.
I... I'm the one who was tricked and robbed!
Can you not ask about that? It's not important right now.
Yes, it's important!
The bad guy was caught and you're fine now.
You'd better explain your job situation to me!
All right, sign here and you can go home to talk.
Sorry about that. I'm just worried.
It's fine.
I don't have much to do at the moment.
I've been listening to your sister ramble for two hours.
Thank you, Officer Li.
Can you keep that man locked away a few more days, so he can't harm others?
That's not up to you or me.
Get your sister out of here.
Sorry about this.
Let's go home.
My bag!
Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!
Come back here.
What, Chang Gong?
Tell me the truth. Did you really quit?
Yes.
I don't want to be a nurse anymore, much less a Urology nurse.
You don't want me seeing men pull down their pants every day, do you?
What I want is one matter.
Whether you discussed this with the family first is another matter.
Chang Gong! Chang Gong!
Okay, enough.
Listen up. You'd better watch out.
Find a chance to tell Mom when she's in a good mood.
Otherwise, I won't stop her when she wants to spank you.
Go in. I'm heading to work.
You still have to go to work?
There's no helping it. The entire company is working through the New Year.
No matter where we work, all technicians have to return to the company.
Our company is a database provider
providing support for the Internet data center.
We're also software suppliers.
It's an absolute disaster.
Chang Gong, will there really be a doomsday?
What going on in your mind?
Bye.
- Guangzhou Industrial? - Yes, yes.
Four computers have crashed?
Don't worry. If there are any issues, we will take full responsibility.
Guangzhou Industrial! Who's in charge of them?
Over here! Transfer them to my line.
Don't send me more calls. I'm swamped.
Boss, another company called to say all their computers have crashed.
Boss! These guys have problems again.
Boss, we're back.
Why are you two here?
Isn't the company working late today?
Li Song and I thought we could come back to help after our work at the TV station.
Is there anything we can do?
Right, Boss. We're also company employees.
Okay, I'll take you up on your offer.
This is our current situation.
We've sold our company's commercial software
to dozens of companies
but over a hundred computers have crashed in the last few days.
Do you have any ideas?
It's hard to say whether this is related to the turn of the century
but I think this should be handled by someone experienced.
This person must be familiar with
the company's software as well as computer hardware.
Even better if someone who has dealt with the Y2K bug
can check the computers in the field
because some clients might insist it's a software problem
when it's actually a hardware issue.
- Can you go? - I can.
- It won't be an issue? - It won't.
But can you find me someone who knows the software?
Then I'll have someone to talk to in case of a problem out in the field.
Okay, I'll get you a software engineer.
I'll book flights tonight. You have a lot of work ahead.
Tonight?
Don't worry. I'll have someone let the TV station know that you will be gone.
Okay. I'll get to work right now. After that, I'll go home and get ready.
Good.
Where do we...
- That computer! - Anywhere you like.
I don't like Lin Shi Yin.
I like the Graceful Fairy.
Agility in a lady is better than anything else.
You've watched this so many times. Haven't you had enough already?
I won't ever get tired of looking at the Graceful Fairy's beautiful face.
It would be wonderful if Yao Yao were as gentle as she is.
What's the name of this actress?
Faye Yu.
You answered so quickly!
Mom! Mom! Mom!
- What's with the shouting? - Chang Gong has a work trip!
He's taking a plane!
- Impressive, right? - What?
Really? A plane?
Oh, Old Zhang! Even the two of us have never been on a plane before!
My son's going on a plane! This is exciting!
When is he leaving?
I think tomorrow morning, and he's going to a lot of cities.
Really?
- What time? - 9 a.m.
9 a.m.? He hasn't packed yet!
- Let's pack for him! - Hurry.
Get back here. It's already so late. Let him sleep.
True. Let him have a good night's sleep.
Then he'll get to enjoy his flight tomorrow.
Hurry, it's 5 a.m.! Wake Chang Gong up!
You startled me! What time is it?
5 a.m. already!
His flight is at 9 a.m. It's still early.
The plane isn't like a train. There are many security checks.
What if he's late?
- Really? - Of course.
When Mei Xin was leaving, Wei Xiao Shan saw her off so early.
Hurry. Go wake him up.
Don't worry. Our son isn't like Yao Yao. He's reliable.
He'll get up on his own. Go back to sleep.
I'll sleep for another five minutes. No, half an hour.
Don't forget your ID.
I have it.
Don't bring those big bottles of shower gel or shampoo.
I know. You told me yesterday to buy those over there.
Oh, right. Water. Don't bring water. You won't pass the security check.
I'm not bringing any.
Eat something at home if you can.
Airplane food is nasty.
Go back to sleep.
You're so annoying.
Bye.
Chang Gong, you finally came out.
Any longer and Mom would've been worried to death.
Mom, what are you doing?
I'm packing food for you.
You're taking a plane, not a train. You can't get off when you want.
What if you get hungry? There'll be no convenience store. Bring some food.
Mom, there's food on the plane.
Then... you can eat these when you land.
Here, take this.
Chang Gong, come on. I'll take you to the bus station.
No need. The company arranged a ride. The car is waiting in the alley.
Really? Your boss is treating you so well!
He's putting you on a plane and giving you a chauffeured ride?
It's a special situation. It probably won't happen again.
This is such a nice company.
You must work hard. Don't let them down.
That's enough. Get going, Chang Gong. Don't be late.
- Bye, Mom and Dad. - Off you go.
Dad, why are your clothes so messy again?
Forget about your dad. Get going!
- Bye! - Be careful!
I know!
Sorry for the trouble.
Come, get in.
No, I can sit in the front.
Sure.
Put on your seatbelt.
Here, allow me.
First time in a car?
Do you know how to drive?
I studied it but haven't had the chance to drive.
Very smart. You're a visionary.
Isn't it being said
that computers and driving will become necessary skills in the future?
Oh, right.
The boss had me make these for you.
[Zhang Chang Gong, Network Engineer]
Okay, off we go!
Hello. And you are?
[Zhang Chang Gong, Network Engineer]
Please come this way.
Thank you so much.
If you're not in hurry, come have a meal at our food court.
I have to leave immediately for Guangzhou.
All right, I won't keep you.
You're already so skilled at such a young age.
You're already an engineer!
You should know you're the envy of many people. You have a promising future.
Thank you.
I'm only here to handle emergencies related to the Y2K bug.
Our company will continue to provide support
from professional network engineers.
Please trust that our company will take full responsibility
for the analysis, design, development, testing, and sale of our products.
Here's to a pleasant relationship.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
When the clock strikes midnight on December 31st
there will be a big problem with all computer programs.
Computer program records won't make the jump to 2000.
They will automatically display January 1, 1900.
Computers will crash.
All power supply systems will crash.
Planes will crash. Communications will be down.
Y2K bug.
I heard computer science majors call this the Y2K bug.
No! Physics majors say Newton predicted the apocalypse will happen in 2000.
He mentioned this in three books.
Let's stop talking about this or else I'll be afraid to go to class tomorrow.
This is so interesting though.
There's less than a month left. Aren't you afraid?
If there's really an apocalypse, we'll all die together.
What are you afraid of?
Mu Zi, go ask Webmaster.
Ask him? Why? He's not a god.
He's in computer science. He should know if this is true.
What if he has insider information?
Go, go.
- Maybe I should ask him. - Go ask.
- Wait for me. - Okay.
Wait up for me.
The Y2K bug is a bug left behind from the 60s.
To save on storage costs
the year of a date was recorded with two digits.
For example, 1997 was stored as 97.
1999 was 99.
This became convention.
But in the turn of the century
numbers will be counted all over again.
This is when the two-digit convention will become an issue.
For example, 1997 and 2097
will be recorded the same.
It'll be confusing.
In the year 2000, this dating convention will produce 00.
So, the system will probably be confused and fail.
- Is it serious? - Nobody knows.
Everybody's quite nervous right now.
The whole world is trying to figure out a way to fix this Y2K bug.
We call it debugging.
I get it now.
Have you heard of the country Gambia?
It's a small country that has already been affected.
Its computer systems, communications, and financial systems are seeing problems.
The dashboards on their trains can't display the date anymore.
So, this bug doesn't just affect computers.
I understand. Will there be a doomsday?
Who told you about that?
I heard it was Newton who said it.
You believe that?
No, but repeated rumors become fact.
I'm not sure.
Chang Gong, come to my office.
Everybody is feeling anxious now.
Nobody has experienced the turn of a millennium.
I think there's a television drama called "The Millennium Bug"
a Singaporean drama focused on this topic.
Have you seen it?
I've been quite busy and haven't watched much TV.
My boss called for me just now. He must need something. I have to go.
Okay, then.
Come in.
Chang Gong, you've worked hard the past three days. Have a seat.
Let's talk about your job.
What do you think about the TV station?
It's a small department, but everybody gets along.
I had Human Resources write up a five-year contract for you.
I... I don't understand.
I want you to come back to the company. I don't want you at the TV station.
Human Resources didn't--
Let me finish.
Our contract with the TV station will be ending soon.
The TV station supervisor really likes you and Li Song
and plans on officially hiring you two.
However, I want you back at the company.
Simply speaking, I admire your talent. I don't want you there.
You can go home and think about this. Give me your reply after New Year's Day.
Do you choose to stay at the TV station or come back to the company?
If you stay at the TV station, you'll continue to manage their website
and become an employee of the TV station.
There won't be much change to compensation though. It's a secure job.
If I stay there, I won't be working for the company?
Correct.
You have another choice though.
You could come back to our company.
We've grown rapidly in the last year.
You saw we only had a couple dozen employees when you first started.
Now we occupy two floors of this building and have several hundred employees.
Next year, I plan on moving on to data center network management.
Our company will be the first in our country to do that.
We also have large amounts of funding.
We're in a period of rapid growth.
If you come back to the company
you'll have double your salary and boundless prospects.
Don't be in a hurry to give me a reply.
Think carefully about it.
Do you want a stable job
or do you want to become an Internet upstart with me?
After hearing that, I feel the urge to give you my answer right now.
I like your impulsiveness.
However, as your senior, I'd like to give you a word of advice.
In the future...
Do not act impulsively.
Don't make a final decision on the spot.
You must think first before acting.
Tell us! What does the professional say?
This is quite an incredible matter. Sit down and I'll tell you all about it.
This really does turn out to be a specialized problem.
Do you know about recording years with two digits?
For example, we'll be going into the year 2000.
In the past, years were recorded with two digits.
For example, 96 and 97.
So then...
Our son didn't come home until past midnight last night.
Why is he working so hard?
Young kids have it tough now.
We used to have set work schedules.
You're up? We were just talking about you.
Have you been working overtime this whole time?
The company needs us to.
Aren't you working at the TV station? Why are you at the company now?
I was just about to tell you.
At the moment...
The contract with the TV station is coming to an end.
My boss gave me a choice.
I can stay at the TV station to be their official employee.
Is that true?
Becoming an employee of the TV station will be great!
If I stay, there'll be no change in my salary.
There will. Take it slowly.
Your monthly salary is over 1,000 yuan. That's not bad already!
The station is conservative. Salary raises won't be very significant.
Young people nowadays only care about salary increases.
Don't you know how hard it is to have a stable job?
Do you want to go to the company?
Say I stay with the company.
We're an IT company, which is the hottest field right now.
I'm the 25th employee of the company and considered a senior figure already!
Moreover, salaries at IT companies are seeing the fastest increases right now.
My boss also said...
We'll have double pay at the end of the year
and all sorts of benefits every day.
We'll even get 50 yuan for meals when we work overtime.
To be honest, I'm a bit tempted.
Even if you're tempted, you can't.
It's still a private company! I don't approve.
Mom, you have such old-fashioned views.
This isn't old-fashioned, it's stable.
The TV station is just like the hospital. It'll never close down.
The country will always need news. There will always be sick people.
You two are so lucky.
You should treasure your jobs. Hear me?
I'm done with my report. I have to go to work.
Don't wait for me for dinner. I have to keep working late until the New Year.
You're done but I'm not.
I really have to go. Tell me later.
Hold on!
I can't forget this.
7:30 a.m.! 7:30 a.m.!
Everybody get up! Get up! It's Professor Fu's class today! Hurry!
Hey! You--
How did you know I have class here?
Did you forget I have your class schedule?
Here's breakfast for four. Take it and hurry to class.
I'm not taking it.
Is the bell a reminder to hurry?
You really don't want it? Fine.
It's not good to waste food!
Yes, it's not good to waste.
Bye. I'm heading to work.
He's clearly pursuing you.
So suddenly? I don't think so.
Sudden? Let me think.
You two racked up over 1,000 yuan in calling fees
before he bought you food.
I say he's slow to get started.
- Give it! - Don't eat it, then.
Give it to me!
Where were you last night?
- Hi, Chang Gong. - Hi.
What do you mean?
Why didn't you take my calls?
You called me?
I called you several times.
Why?
To ask you to come hang out.
You went out for some fun again?
I have something serious to discuss.
What?
Have you decided yet? Leave or stay?
What about you?
I heard NetEase will be listed on Nasdaq.
My guess is Sina will be listed first.
I've already made my decision.
I'm going to take the risk.
That's also what I was thinking when CEO Dong spoke with me.
You can easily glimpse what the end will be here.
I'll lose all enthusiasm after a few years of working here.
I have to leave.
Then we're agreed on this.
After New Year's, we'll report back to the office together.
Okay.
Let's eat.
"If there is no doomsday, I'll marry you."
"It's not a lie this time."
"We'll register our marriage on January 1, 2000." Xiao Pan Pan.
Hello, sir. I don't believe in the apocalypse.
Please don't keep me from my work. Thank you.
What is going on?
I can't wait for the New Year holiday. I can't stand this anymore.
This is quite nice.
We're racking up calls just because it's almost the year 2000.
It'll be the year 2000, but who's going to help me get a metro monthly pass?
You still haven't gotten one?
My mom said she'd buy one for me but she didn't.
I have one that my mom bought for me earlier in the year.
I heard they're sold out now! Only 200,000 passes were sold.
I really envy you.
I didn't have to use the metro because the hospital was close to home.
Work is so far now. The bus takes big detours. The metro is so expensive.
2 yuan each way. 4 yuan a day. 120 yuan a month.
I can't afford it.
Exactly. I can't afford it without the metro monthly pass.
I heard scalpers sell them.
Ask Xiao Lin. I heard her mention it.
Really?
This is great!
But it's a bit expensive.
The price has gone up to at least 300 yuan per pass.
It's still a good bargain.
I'll pay only 18 yuan a month regardless of the number of rides.
It'll be worth the value in just a few months.
I'll ask her later. Thank you.
No problem.
Looking for a monthly pass?
Come with me.
Are your passes authentic?
Of course. A lot of people have bought from me.
If it's discovered to be fake, will you take responsibility?
It won't be.
Come on.
Forget it. I'm not buying anymore.
What's the matter with you? I had to come all this way.
I don't want to buy it anymore! Let go of me!
- This isn't a scam. - What's going on?
Why are you running?
What's going on?
Officers, he's forcing me to buy stuff.
Don't accuse me!
Why did you run if you're not guilty?
Right. Why did you run?
Count me unlucky to have met you.
- It's your fault for dragging me. - Enough. Stop talking.
You two are coming with me.
- Go. - Come!
Go.
[Huaihai Police Station]
Sit down.
Tell us in detail what happened.
Chief Li.
What's going on?
These two were quarreling in the subway station.
I know this woman. I'll handle her.
You two, take him to the side for questioning.
Okay.
Come.
Zhang Yao Yao, right?
Tell me. What was it this time? Another phone scam?
You're injured?
Get back on topic.
This time, I had the stupid idea of buying a metro monthly pass.
Metro monthly pass? Weren't those sold out long ago?
Yes, that's why I was going to buy from a scalper.
Penny wise, pound foolish.
No, I just wanted to save money.
- The same thing. - Not the same!
All right. Call your guardian over.
It's not even a big deal! You're calling a guardian again?
You have to.
It's your fault for landing in here so often for trivial matters.
Your family needs to properly discipline you.
This is my beeper number. Page me next time you're in trouble.
But I don't think anything else will happen.
That's hard to say.
I realize you look a bit like Tony Leung.
Thank you.
I really like him.
You're a groupie?
Then you should be even more careful! Groupies are the easiest to scam.
Are you prejudiced against me, Officer?
I wouldn't dare. I'm doing my duty by reminding you.
You come in here way too often.
Yao Yao.
My family is here. I'm going now.
Your older sister? Your family sure has a lot of children.
She's my sister-in-law.
If you come in here a few more times, I'll meet your whole family.
Officer Li, sorry for the trouble.
It's nothing.
Keep an eye on your sister-in-law though.
My brother is still at work, right?
Yes, he's still working.
Well, we're leaving now. Let's go.
My bike!
You're recovering well. There's nothing to worry about.
Thank you, Doctor.
Officer Li, you're really dedicated to your job.
You're still chasing after thieves in your condition.
It's my duty.
And you, don't let me see you again.
Why? I was always the victim. You make me sound like the bad guy.
It's for your own good, little girl.
All right, I'm on duty. I have to go.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Liu Ming Tao hasn't come by to see you in a while.
He has.
Yao Yao, what do you think of Xiao Ai's boyfriend?
I heard he's close friends with your brother.
He's great!
He has very excellent grades.
He's multi-talented.
He even used to show off his violin skills at my house.
You just say whatever is on your mind.
However, I've noticed you seem to be much happier after switching jobs.
That sets my mind at ease.
Mom, we'll be leaving now.
Auntie Xiao, I'll come visit you again.
Okay.
Tell me! What happened?
Liu Ming Tao borrowed 50,000 yuan from my grandmother.
50,000 yuan? Was it a bank robbery?
He said it was for treating his mom's illness
and secretly borrowed it from my grandma.
I thought it strange, so I asked him about it.
He admitted it was a lie
and said he needed cash for his business.
But now, he's been gone for a week.
He disappeared?
