[My Story For You]
[Episode 20]
Hey, buddy.
- What's up? Why are you doing that? - Mind your own business!
- I'm kicking my own store! - Relax.
What's wrong with you?
Why don't you call the police?
- Take care of your boyfriend. - I'm sorry! I got this.
I got this.
Han Dong, what's wrong?
The school expelled me.
Expelled?
They're not pressing charges. Why are you being expelled?
Yes! They're insane!
What's the big deal? Did they have to threaten me with expulsion?
Don't worry. You can petition the school.
I won't.
Why not?
You have to!
If you don't, you won't be able to stay after your visa expires.
I'll return to China.
You're going back to China?
I've decided.
I'm not cut out for studying.
Even if I continue studying, it'll still...
It'll still end up the same way.
You don't have a proper job here anyway. Come back with me.
It's just that my mom...
I'll figure out something to get her to accept you.
Han Dong.
Think about this some more.
It wasn't easy for us to get here. Don't ruin your chance.
Here.
You came so early and even made breakfast for me.
I'll watch you eat.
You clearly have a cold. I'll make a cold remedy drink for you.
It's nothing serious.
By the way, Mei Xin said she's coming to see you after class.
Tell her not to come.
She's so annoying. She'll definitely scold me when she gets here.
She said if you're returning to China, you should close down this store.
I knew it.
Han Dong, I found a new job.
Why? We're leaving soon.
Pack up your things over the next two days.
When we get back, I'll visit your parents with you first.
Then you'll come with me to Jinghu.
We just might have to shack up with my buddy first.
I don't want to go back.
I never planned on going back.
I get it.
Not in it for the long run.
Han Dong.
Leave! Go, now.
I was very happy with you.
Thank you.
Don't forget to drink the medicine.
[Gold Road Model Agency]
You are the best group of students I've taught.
You're gifted and learn quickly.
Especially you, Chang Gong.
Even though he missed a few classes, he still managed to catch up to everyone.
Good job.
Thank you, Miss.
Training is finally over.
If any of us makes it big one day, don't forget to help the rest of us.
That's right!
Yes, this industry is very small. You'll all be competitors from now on.
You're all my students
so it should be friendly competition. Help each other out.
Of course, if anybody makes it big or becomes rich
don't forget about me.
We certainly won't.
Okay, class is dismissed.
Goodbye, Miss.
Manager Wang, this group of students is excellent.
- In particular, Zhang Chang Gong. - Yes.
You should promote them more.
You already got your money.
Don't worry about it. Come, let's go eat.
Really?
- The same. - Same? Okay.
Chang Gong! Wait!
- Bye. - Bye.
Chang Gong, the boss said you were first in your class.
He wants to promote you already
and wants you to come back with a set of studio headshots.
- Right now? - Yes.
Look, these are the photo guidelines.
So many photos?
That's how it is nowadays. There's fierce competition.
Have you taken any before?
No.
This is a studio run by our boss's friend.
They give a 40 percent discount to our company.
If you don't know any studios, you can go to this one.
It's so cheap.
A lot of our employees have gone there.
They're very professional.
You won't have to say a thing and he'll know what you want.
- Thank you. - No need.
I don't run the studio.
- I'm going, then. - Go on.
- Bye. - Bye.
I'll have a glass of water. My friend isn't here yet.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Sit here.
- Have you ordered yet? - No, I was waiting for you.
See what you want to drink.
They're pretty expensive.
Really?
It's okay. Just order what you want.
- Sir, your water. - Thank you.
I'll have green tea.
Order some food.
No, I already ate at home.
Take a look.
Sorry, sir.
We have a policy that every customer must order.
Then I'll have green tea too.
- Okay, just a moment. - Thank you.
I didn't drink this yet. You can have some first.
Can we cancel the order?
I have to catch a flight. I probably don't even have time for tea.
It's such a waste.
We already ordered. I can drink both.
Why drink so much tea? Aren't you afraid it'll keep you up?
Wouldn't it be a waste otherwise?
I shouldn't have ordered.
It's okay.
Our accounting firm is getting busier the closer we are to the end of the year
and we have to keep flying here and there.
How's the job search?
- I found a job. - Really?
That's good.
- Your green tea. - Thank you.
- Careful, it's hot.
Can you bring us napkins? Thank you.
- It's so hot. - Slow down.
Thank you.
That's so embarrassing.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I just didn't want to waste it.
If you're in a hurry, you can go.
No, I can stay a bit longer.
It's okay. If you need to catch a plane, then hurry and go.
Don't be late.
I'm going to go.
Bye.
Text me when you have time.
Okay. I'll chat with you when I'm free.
- I'm going to go. - Go on.
How have you all been doing lately? Good?
Remember to work hard. The basics are crucial. Got it?
Here you go.
Thank you.
Not bad, Chang Gong.
You're the best model we've had in the past half year.
You've improved a lot.
What did you think of the beginner's course?
- The teacher is very dedicated. - Of course.
She came from a specialty school.
We hired her to teach and you were lucky to get in.
The advanced course is starting soon and there are very few spots.
How about signing up already?
To be honest, I've been unemployed for nearly a year
so I don't have much money left.
I'm wondering if I can get started working first
and take the advanced course later?
Listen. Go to the front desk and register to save a spot.
There really are very few spots this time.
You're a newcomer. Learn more. It'll really help you in the future.
If you don't want to take it when the time comes, just tell the receptionist.
Go home and wait to hear news.
I'll send out your information as soon as possible.
Thank you.
I have high hopes for you, Chang Gong. Keep at it.
I got this!
This was a very good day. Thank you.
- Bye, bye. - Thank you.
Have a good day.
It's so hot.
This hot spell sure is unbearable.
Gosh, it just rained. Why is it still so humid?
I heard you're friends with the boss.
We know each other.
You two look about the same age.
Does it feel awkward to work for a friend?
No. I'm still in school. It's good to be earning some money.
Besides, it's nice to have a friend looking after me.
That's true.
Do you also play a few hands with the boss in your free time?
- Play what? - Three card poker.
Poker?
Oh, I know. I've seen it played at my mom's factory.
They played it with 0.10 yuan. It was so fun.
That's nothing. The boss plays with high stakes.
The amount will scare you.
Family always come through when you need them.
If I were your parent, I'd have collapsed from anger already.
You don't have to tell me that.
If I were my parents, I'd have collapsed from anger already.
I was supposed to help Xiao Shan look after you.
In the end, I caused you so much trouble.
Since I am your hubby's buddy, let's just...
Forget all about it with a smile.
We've buried the hatchet now.
Dang!
Mei Xin, you sure are strong.
You're the only one who can bully me.
That's because everybody else spoils you.
I'm the only one who doesn't fall for your charm.
All right.
Come on. Take me to the airport.
Han Dong!
My family!
Finally, a familiar face.
- You got fat again. - I lost weight.
You don't look too bad.
Are you kidding?
It's just a minor bump in the road. Did you think I'd be depressed over that?
I heard about your new girlfriend. Where is she?
Gone.
Gone again?
I'll get that for you.
She wanted a green card and I wanted my motherland, so we broke up.
Don't you think my patriotism should be commended in the newspapers?
Commended in the newspapers?
You were expelled yet again!
You're lucky our country hasn't abandoned you.
You want praise?
- No respect? - Do you deserve any?
Get out of here!
Where's Chang Gong? How come he's nowhere to be seen?
I'm waiting for his ride.
You wouldn't get a ride even if he came.
Come on. I'll tell you on the way back.
So tell me. What happened to Chang Gong?
He can tell you when he gets back.
Did you forget to get a pan with water?
- I forgot! - Hurry up! It's hot!
Why couldn't you have bought an electric hot pot?
This is so much trouble.
Lift that up.
What are you dodging for?
Mongolian hot pot is only good in a copper pot, you bumpkin.
Come on, give me a hand.
Talk later. Hug first.
Why didn't you come pick me up?
How busy must you be at work for you not to pick me up?
Wei Xiao Shan, open the beer.
Did you come back to treat me like a servant?
Are you doing this on purpose?
- Crack open a beer. - I know! What's the rush?
I'll cook the meat for you.
I was craving this every day overseas.
I was practically drooling.
Money has been a bit tight lately
so I'm sorry I couldn't give you a nice welcome dinner.
Don't treat me like a stranger.
Strangers first, then bare our hearts.
Same as usual.
All right, let's fast forward to baring our hearts.
I'm starving! Let's eat first.
Stop!
We can't break the rules.
Let's drink before we eat.
Cheers!
Be careful at work.
All right, stop clinging to me. I can't stand it anymore.
This is my first relationship. So what if I'm clingy?
It's true that those who have experience
no longer cherish the feeling and have no more passion left.
I'm over 30 already.
I can't come up with the passion. Come on.
Then go. Go, leave.
It's getting late. Stay over at your brother's place tonight.
I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning after my shift.
Who wants you to?
Are you acting spoiled now?
I am... acting spoiled.
Time to make my getaway!
Say...
What the heck have I been doing all these years?
I went to two universities.
I didn't graduate from either of them.
All my money was lost to fines.
I don't even have a woman by my side.
Yao Yao...
She treated you very well back then.
Why are you bringing up my sister?
I... I just find it a bit of a shame.
If they had gotten together, you two would've become family.
Wouldn't that have been great?
I'll be honest.
In the beginning...
I did like Yao Yao.
You must be drunk. Are you joking?
That's right. Are you in your right mind?
It's true.
I really did like Yao Yao back then.
But she is your little sister.
I didn't dare.
It's too late for regrets.
So... what about Chong Jia You?
I was also serious with her.
But I don't know what happened later. It didn't feel right anymore.
But with Yao Yao...
It was beautiful.
I don't know. It's hard to explain.
All right, enough about me. What about you?
How's Mu Zi?
She's probably on a work trip in Shenyang.
I'm not sure.
You're not sure? She's your girlfriend!
You don't know what you have.
There's too big a gap.
I don't want to hold her back.
What does that mean? They broke up?
Ask him yourself.
Chang Gong, open up.
Drink.
Yao Yao's here.
Remember not to mention what you said earlier.
Come on in.
Not a day goes by when you don't cause trouble. Messed up, did you?
Are you okay? Don't scare me.
He's fine.
You guys still haven't made him feel better yet?
Some people just don't take to comfort.
Take Han Dong for example. He's forever meant to be dumped.
It doesn't matter how handsome or rich he is.
Watch what you're saying.
I was just kidding. It's okay.
Since you're back now, make a brand new start.
Here.
Welcome back.
To starting over again.
- Here. - Cheers.
How's that cop of yours?
On duty.
On duty? Even a deputy chief has to be on duty?
He serves the people.
Li Ning Feng has high political awareness.
Li Ning Feng?
You should ask her all about it.
She put in tremendous effort to win him over.
No, I didn't! He liked me.
He was just playing dumb in the beginning.
Chang Gong, add some water. I want to eat too.
I saved half a bottle for you.
Where's the meat?
I have it ready. I'll get it for you.
Mix it.
By the way, Xiao Ai's wedding is next week.
Since we're all here, let's go together.
Let's all go together, Han Dong.
Xiao Ai is getting married? To whom?
Who else? Just not my brother.
Listen up.
Xiao Ai is getting married.
Don't joke about that again.
I'm not joking.
Liu Ming Tao is quite nice. He has an education and a career.
He has known Xiao Ai since middle school. They've been together for years.
They're a great match.
Xiao Shan is working as a tour guide for Liu Ming Tao
and earning quite a bit of money.
We should look forward. Don't be stuck in your old views of him.
I have something to tell you about Xiao Ai.
Go on.
I've heard this several times in Liu Ming Tao's company.
It's said he likes to play high stakes poker.
I bet Xiao Ai doesn't know anything about this.
I'm wondering whether to tell her or not.
We... can't tell her about this.
True.
It would be so awkward.
Look, I'm working for Liu Ming Tao right now.
I work for him and he pays me.
If I go behind his back and tell his fiancee bad things about him
that would be inappropriate.
It's even more inappropriate for you to tell her.
There's no proof. It's just hearsay.
That's true too.
So are you going to Xiao Ai's wedding?
No.
No?
I'll tell her!
You scared me, Zhang Yao Yao! Why were you eavesdropping?
You guys are such terrible friends!
I'll talk to her.
My mom says to stay away from men who love to gamble.
Right, Chang Gong?
He is in no position to have a say in this, silly kid.
They're getting married! It's no small matter.
I think Xiao Ai should know.
You can tell her but don't exaggerate.
Okay.
What's this about?
There's something that's been eating at me.
About your brother?
No, it's Liu Ming Tao.
Liu Ming Tao?
Let me say this first. I know I'm being meddlesome.
If you don't like what you hear, I hope you won't hold it against me.
I grew up with you. How could I get mad at you?
And this didn't come from me! I heard this from others.
Just tell me already. You're making me so nervous.
I heard this. There's no actual proof.
He seems to have a liking for three card poker.
The stakes are not just a few yuan either.
He seems to play with a lot of money.
I'm done. You can decide what to do with this.
Xiao Ai?
I... I saw your brother didn't have any furniture at his house.
Is he having problems at work?
No, he's doing very well.
Mr. Zhang, we'll inform you if there's any news.
We've already sent your resume and portfolio to various companies.
Please wait patiently.
I've been waiting. There hasn't been even one offer?
I'm sorry. You only completed the beginner's course.
The majority of models we recommend have graduated from the advanced course.
If you were an event planner
you would also choose a more experienced model, wouldn't you?
Hello, I'm from the property management. I'm here to collect heating fees.
How much is it?
Your unit is... 1,100 yuan.
Can I turn it in tomorrow?
Sure.
Hello?
Chang Gong? Haven't I told you many times?
We've been recommending you but no clients have picked you.
I told you to take the advanced course
but you didn't want to spend the money.
I'm in a difficult position right now.
Can you help me think of a way--
Okay, okay. I know.
Enough for now. Wait at home for news.
Even though we say in the ads that training is provided
it also depends on the person.
If you don't have potential, you might not get a training opportunity.
We like your unique look.
Please trust that we'll transform you into a big star.
Your basic qualifications already far exceed all our other trainees.
Trust me. You'll be fabulous.
Chang Gong! Let me introduce you.
This was our best trainee last season, Zhang Chang Gong.
You can call him your senior.
Senior.
Don't.
I haven't been on stage once and haven't had any job opportunities.
Chang Gong, I've told you before.
All our trainees have to complete all levels of training.
However, you wouldn't pay the fee for the advanced course
stalling your prospects.
The company isn't to blame.
So if I took the advanced course, would I have a job opportunity?
Or would you state on the contract
how many job opportunities I would receive in a year?
We can't make guarantees on that.
Chang Gong, there is a lot of competition.
However, one thing is crucial.
If you take our advanced course, you'll be on a whole different playing field.
Unfortunately, you didn't take it.
So we must take your training courses, from beginners to advanced
from advanced to super advanced
and continue to take more courses and pay you more money.
- Chang Gong-- - Why aren't you leaving?
You want to get scammed?
Chang Gong, you...
Ms. Zhang! Ms. Zhang!
Chang Gong, I've already explained to you many times.
If you pay, we'll train you.
Please go home and wait for news, okay?
I can't continue to wait unconditionally.
So what do you want?
Why don't I answer for you?
You can choose to call the police or sue us. It doesn't matter to me.
Mr. Zhang.
Just the person I was looking for. Heating fees.
I was in a hurry when I left. I forgot.
That's all right.
- I'll go get money right now. - Okay.
Mr. Zhang, I get off at 8 p.m.
Okay!
Are you okay, Chang Gong?
I'm fine. I'm just in a hurry to pay the property management.
My payroll card was suddenly demagnetized and I can't withdraw money from it.
- Tell me if you're in any trouble. - I know.
By the way, help me find Xiao Ai a 1,000 yuan wedding gift.
I'll pay you back later.
You're not going?
I'm busy that day. I couldn't get time off, so I'm not going.
You were the last unit to pay.
I was afraid you would be late.
Good thing you weren't.
Sorry for the trouble.
It's okay. I'll be leaving now.
How's that for rent?
Now this looks suitable for living.
It's hard to imagine how you survived the last few months.
It's horrifying.
I also found it horrifying.
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
What plans do you have now?
Plans?
I don't know.
I'm afraid to go home.
My mom called me today
saying she was going to go to New York to spend Chinese New Year with me.
I heard from Xiao Shan that you've been unemployed for over a year.
Why didn't you tell me?
I still have over 20,000 yuan.
We can starve to death together but I won't let you suffer on your own.
It's not to the point that I would starve to death.
All right, tell me when you're too poor to find a meal.
[34 New Messages] [Happy National Day]
You were clearly scammed. You paid so much money for nothing in return.
This line of work isn't that easy.
However, seeing as you're in such a pitiful situation...
There's an anniversary celebration this afternoon. You can work the stage.
Thank you, Manager.
Whether we'll sign you on or not will depend on your performance.
Contracted models might not necessary receive work either.
Go out and see Ms. Zhao. She's in charge of today's events.
The speaker malfunctioned. The show is canceled.
Pass out these flyers for four hours.
We're here to model, not pass out flyers.
The speaker malfunctioned. Passing out flyers is less work for you.
You're still going to complain when you're getting paid to do such easy work?
- No, I-- - Let it go.
We're getting paid.
Just do it.
Mu Zi, I have a question.
You're back from your work trip?
Did you come to shop?
Did you lie to me last time when you said you had found a job?
I'm working at a modeling agency. I had an event here today.
What event?
The speaker malfunctioned.
I'm getting paid, so I'm helping them pass out flyers.
I texted you. Did you purposely not reply?
I used up all my texts this month.
How much do you get paid each month? Is it enough to cover the mortgage?
Every little bit counts.
You should go home.
Come back here.
Stop it. I'm working. Money isn't easy to earn. Don't get in the way.
I won't get in your way.
Come home with me.
Your house again?
Your home. You'll get sick if you continue on this way.
I'll go home as soon as I finish passing these out. See you later.
When was this? How come I didn't know?
Last year. It's been almost a whole year.
Goodness! Chang Gong sure can keep a secret.
No wonder he hasn't bought furniture.
- Give this to your brother. - What is it?
Money?
I don't have much savings. That's about 10,000 yuan.
It's enough to cover the mortgage for a few months though.
I can't. My parents have money.
I make a lot of money.
Even more reason you can't. You know how my brother is.
Is there any way he would accept your money?
Besides, he's working.
You went to a prestigious college and have a lot of outstanding peers
so you probably don't know.
A lot of my classmates are in the service industry. It's okay.
This won't work out long-term though. He won't be able to afford the mortgage.
I have the night shift tonight.
I'll go see him after I get off work tomorrow.
Are you and my brother having some problems?
How come you're giving him money through me?
I asked my uncle to give him a job but they couldn't get along.
Chang Gong must think he isn't good enough for you because he has no job.
That's pretty much the same reason he broke up with his first girlfriend.
She was in an elite high school and he was in a vocational school.
He thought they weren't a good match.
First girlfriend?
Actually, not really.
I like to make fun of him like that. I hope you don't mind.
I don't mind.
There's nothing going on between them. Xiao Ai got married a few days ago.
Xiao Ai?
Yes, you met her.
