[My Story For You]
[Episode 24]
You really came to the school so late at night to study?
I'm not as productive at home.
I'm graduating in a year while you're applying to get in.
I'm worrying about the job search.
Now that you're going back to school, I'm even more worried.
You could apply to be a government employee.
That's what my mom says too.
I think that'd be too monotonous though.
I think you can try for both.
Take tests for a government job while searching for other jobs.
I also have a third option.
What?
Find a boyfriend!
I used to make fun of you
but I can't even find a good catch online now.
- What am I going to do? - Here's a boyfriend.
You're terrible!
What am I going to do?
Mu Zi.
I saw Mr. Dong today.
I can't believe he aged so quickly.
You're sleeping like a log. Even I was woken up by your phone.
Hello?
Chang Gong?
Chairman Lin?
Dong took things too hard.
He's gone.
I'll contact you again when the date of the funeral service has been set.
The kid who crashed your truck is quite reserved.
I'm afraid to talk to him when he doesn't talk.
He seems like the type who might punch you at any moment.
What's wrong?
Dong hated to admit defeat.
He borrowed a lot of money.
He was desperate.
I was aware this could be a possible outcome.
But I didn't stop him.
I'm also leaving.
Where are you going?
Away from Jinghu.
Back to my hometown.
- Chairman Lin-- - This is a place of sorrow.
You...
When you first met me and Dong...
We were always in disagreement.
But in my mind...
I thought of him as a brother.
I didn't stop him.
I couldn't stop him!
Take care.
You're injured?
It's nothing. Just had a fall.
Why didn't you tell me?
I came to show you.
Let's talk outside.
Did you get to come back early because you're injured?
You're dressed so formally.
We're matching today.
Are you going to some formal event?
I was at a funeral.
Whose?
Dong Jian Guo.
Let's talk about something else.
I feel very sad right now
so that's why I wanted to see you.
Seeing you might put me in a better mood.
It seems there is important value to my life.
You are very valuable to me.
Look all you want. Take a lifetime.
That's a promise.
I'll always be here.
How did you know I was here though?
You said you're always at the library at this hour.
I thought I'd try my luck and see if I could find my lifesaver.
Of course you'd find me.
I'm always here.
Thank you.
Let's go.
In 2003
CEO Dong and Chairman Lin left Jinghu one after the other in different ways.
None of us anticipated that starting in 2003
housing prices in China would increase at an astonishing rate
shepherding us into the real estate industry's golden decade.
It's written on there.
That's so excessive. Do you see that?
- That looks so nice. - This one looks better.
- Really? - This one down here.
This.
Dad.
I confessed to Mom.
I still want to do business.
Let me do it.
You messed up in the States
so you're giving in to me now?
No, I'm not giving in. This is called collaboration.
Collaboration?
Who? You and me?
Yes.
This is the business I want to do.
Give me some suggestions. Earning money isn't my primary goal.
I mainly want to hone my skills.
Go walk around Huaqiangbei in Shenzhen on your own.
You must first know the market.
Huaqiangbei is the trendsetter of the electronics market.
One sneeze there
and the electronics market across the nation will catch the cold.
Hello, this is my business card.
You have a business card? So what do you want, kid?
I don't need your business card.
I'll just add you on QQ Messenger later. You can ask me for pricing every morning.
Okay.
Listen, kid.
You came to the right place if you're interested in selling electronics.
The only day we're closed is for Chinese New Year.
That's when pricing immediately goes up in Zhongguancun!
- Do you know why? - Why?
Because we're the boss of this market!
Yes, that's also what my dad said. That's why I came to take a look around.
How come there are so few people today?
There's an infectious disease going around lately. Nobody dares to go out!
There's been an infectious disease going around lately. Nobody dares to go out!
You came at a bad time.
You don't seem like a businessman.
You're so good-looking. You look like a student.
I look young for my age.
Here's my number. Call me if you need anything.
- Call. - Yes, you heard that right!
Thank you.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
- Hello. - Hello, sir.
Sorry, we received notice
that we must take the temperature of our customers every afternoon.
- Take my temperature? - Yes.
Sir, do you have a fever or feel uncomfortable?
No.
Why don't you go now? I'll call the front desk when I'm done.
Okay, thank you.
Wait! Let me disinfect your bike.
Bring it closer.
Don't go in! I just disinfected the inside.
We haven't had any customers the past few days.
We should just close up.
We should've closed it a long time ago. But what else would we do?
- True. - Disinfecting again?
Where are you going?
For a follow-up.
You're going alone? Where's Xiao Shan?
The school has been sealed off. They're not letting students out.
I'm guessing he won't be back until June.
Then I'll go with you.
Here, take this.
Disinfect Xiao Shan's room too.
Let's go.
- You don't have to go to the trouble. - It's all right. Let's go.
Look, there's nobody around.
- We don't even have to line up. - Yeah.
Where's Yao Yao?
I texted her. She'll be here soon.
Let's sign in.
Please get us signed in.
Mom!
- Yao Yao. - Auntie Wei.
There you are.
Didn't I tell you not to come?
Everybody's avoiding the hospital while you're coming here on purpose.
Yao Yao, it can't be that serious.
Mrs. Wei is coming for a follow-up, so I accompanied her here.
Put on your mask.
Mom, I'm warning you, this is a crisis period.
Infectious diseases in these two months have been so severe.
If it's not an emergency, avoid coming here.
If you need medication, just tell me.
- Okay. - I bought disinfectant for you.
Disinfect more often at home.
Don't open the store for business either. You don't have customers anyway.
It's that serious?
You're not coming home?
No, I'll be staying at the hospital. I only need my uniform.
Go, go, go!
- Okay. - Don't come again. Leave quickly!
Remember to be careful.
- Put on your mask! - I'll do it myself.
Are you still feeling unwell?
She has a bit of a cough. Examine her.
I have an announcement to make.
Starting today, the entire hospital will be closed off.
- Closed off? - Why?
Don't go home for the next two weeks.
Call your families
and if you need anything sent out, place it in the on-call room.
- How long will this last? - Yes, how long?
At least two weeks.
We're considered lucky, we don't have to treat anybody.
Right.
Here you go. Don't drop it.
Take care of yourself.
- Don't catch a cold. - I know, Mom.
- We'll go home now. - Bye.
Let's go.
Did you miss me?
Talk about something serious.
This is very serious! I miss you so much.
I didn't feel it before when I was seeing you every day
but now that I haven't seen you in days, I've even lost my appetite.
Your mom packed this for you.
A lot of underwear but very few clothes.
How could you look through my underwear?
Let me take a look at you.
You didn't lose weight. Still chubby.
Don't touch me! There are germs.
What's there to be afraid of? Then we can die together.
Nobody's dying. Be more careful.
I already decided on my way here.
As soon as this passes, we'll get married.
Why are you saying this now?
You don't want to?
I know you're still young but I'm already 35 years old.
If we keep waiting, I'll turn 40 soon.
You're beautiful and look young.
My job is stressful, so I'm aging faster.
If we don't marry soon, others will really think you're marrying an old man.
Who says? You're not old at all.
I have a mirror at home. You don't need to flatter me.
So is that okay? If yes, I'll go prepare.
If you dare kiss me here, I'll say yes.
I...
Forget it. I'm going.
Wait. Come here.
Don't force yourself. I was just kidding.
All right. You were really going to kiss me? Shameless old man.
Be careful in the hospital.
I'll buy a ring soon.
Tell me your size.
I'm going to go.
Go back in.
What are you looking for?
Where's the ruler I used last time?
Liu Ying broke it. I have one. Do you want it?
Yes, right now!
What's the rush? Hold on.
It's urgent! Go get it right now!
Hello, sir. Do you need assistance?
- I'll take a look around first. - Okay.
- Hello, can I see this one? - Sure.
Thank you.
See if you like it.
They say I can make one exchange if you don't like it.
Why are you giving me a wedding ring in a shopping bag?
It's more convenient for you.
I'll look at it later.
Take a thorough look. I can exchange it if you don't like it.
No exchanges either way!
How could I exchange the wedding ring you gave me?
Don't you have anything you want to say to me?
I'll have to go to your house tomorrow
and ask your parents where to hold our wedding banquet.
I'm the only one in my family, so there will be no objections.
Not that!
Can you get the day off on the 11th?
Are you doing this on purpose?
What do you want to hear?
Something sweet.
You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in this world.
Where did you learn to say such sweet words?
I heard and saw all sorts of things when I used to interrogate delinquents.
Li Ning Feng!
It's the truth.
You barely pass.
So, did the delinquents teach you anything else?
So do you like it?
How come you bought two?
So you have a choice.
You even bought a gold one. That's so cliche.
Take care of yourself in the hospital.
- Eat regular meals. - Okay.
- You hear me? - I know!
There's an incoming suspected case.
Immediately notify all wards not to allow any wandering around.
Okay.
Yao Yao, hurry up!
Okay, coming!
I can't talk. Something's come up.
Li Ning Feng.
Remember what I'm about to say.
Go on.
I love you.
Mom, I've returned in glory!
Aren't you coming out to welcome me?
Yao Yao?
My daughter is finally back!
Let me hold you.
Let me see.
You got skinnier! Were you not eating?
You're so skinny!
I was so worried that I couldn't sleep.
I'm glad you're fine!
What's the matter with you all?
Mom, help me wash these dirty clothes.
Hand wash them. They're nice clothes.
They'll lose their shape if machine-washed.
Okay, I'll wash them right now.
I'll help you.
Yao Yao, let me see.
You've lost weight but you're still energetic.
Dad, isn't it pretty?
Yes.
What about this?
There are two?
Rings?
Let me see.
This gold one is pretty.
What about this one?
Isn't this silver?
Silver is of little value. Why did he buy it?
This is platinum!
It looks fake.
There's a certificate of authenticity. It's not fake.
Why aren't you asking me who gave them to me?
Do we even have to ask?
Li Ning Feng!
No fun. I don't get to surprise you at all.
Is it set?
He's making me settle down. He says he's getting old.
No, he's not. Officer Li is in his prime.
35 is the best age for men.
I think so too.
You decided on your own? You didn't even ask us first!
I'm just your youngest daughter.
You can marry me off without great fanfare.
You should worry about your eldest son instead.
This child.
Look at her! It's like she's been bewitched!
You should be content. You have such a wonderful son-in-law.
Everything's fine as long as she is okay.
Aren't you happy now?
Aren't you smug?
Did he explain why he bought two rings?
Yes.
He said he liked platinum when he was younger
but liked gold when he got older
so he bought both and even got a discount.
Waste of money.
Spending money on your wife is the right thing to do.
Zhang Yao Yao, come out!
Don't you have work today? That's why I didn't go to see you.
I was going to give you a surprise.
Look. I've returned home with honor, safe and sound.
Come here.
- Why? - Quickly.
All right, now. I'm fine, am I not?
You're back?
Put down your things and come eat noodles.
Listen, this was so funny.
When I left the hotel today there was a big banner outside the door.
It said
"Celebrating our hotel's so-and-so being excluded as a suspected flu case."
They've been conducting rigorous checks.
You weren't checked on the road?
I knew there were checks, so I made detours outside the city.
Just like you, I haven't been back in two months.
Get your chopsticks. They're inside.
Listen, I really like it over there.
Stories of entrepreneurship are everywhere.
Any one of them would make a good novel.
There's a woman who was terrible in school, just like me.
She became a working woman at a foreign enterprise.
She later sold spare parts at transit stations.
She made her way step-by-step until she opened her own factory.
Impressive, right?
I figured something out this time.
What?
Do I still have a chance?
With Yao Yao?
Give me the truth.
Are you serious?
The epidemic was quite severe in Shenzhen.
I wasn't afraid for myself, but I kept thinking about Yao Yao.
If I could've stuck wings on myself, I would've flown back here.
This might be quite unscrupulous, but all's fair in love.
Just as long as you don't mind.
Life is short.
I want to pursue Yao Yao.
She's getting married.
Getting married?
She's so young!
Not too young, not too old.
She's been working for five years now.
If she wants to get married, nobody can stop her.
Hello? Yao Yao, are you--
You're back?
Yes, I just got back from Shenzhen.
Why don't you come out to eat with me?
Okay.
What do you want to eat? I have coupons.
No need for that. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll order it.
I'm not hungry. I just had lunch.
I'm hungry!
I just got back from Shenzhen.
All right. Order what you want. I'll have a fried chicken cutlet.
Wait here.
Here you go.
So why did you want to meet? Did you want to tell me your troubles?
I haven't had time to catch up with you since I came back from the States.
I wanted to talk to you alone.
Okay. What do you want to talk about?
I'll listen to whatever you have to say.
You're so cheesy.
What were you doing in Shenzhen?
I was checking out the market. I'm going into the cell phone business.
Not selling designer handbags anymore?
No, I'm going legitimate.
You said you were hungry but you're not eating.
You ordered so much. I'm going to get fat again.
Eat as much as you want. I'll order as much as you want.
Do you remember when we were kids?
Every time you wanted to eat chicken cutlets, you would target me.
Of course.
Were you 14 or 15 years old that year?
15 years old, I think.
I was in the third year of middle school. I had no money back then.
Chang Gong and Xiao Shan were both poor.
We only had a few yuan for allowance every week.
Who else could I extort money from?
Do you remember I wanted a yogurt drink one time and borrowed money from you?
You opened your wallet and there was a stack of 100 yuan bills.
There must've been 3,000 yuan in there.
You even asked me if that was enough and you could get more.
I laughed my head off.
I just wanted a yogurt milk.
Really? I actually did that?
Of course you did.
I remember your favorite thing to say in high school was
"It's okay. I have money."
That was so annoying.
That's your image of me?
Yao Yao.
What is it?
Nothing. Eat up.
[Dong Communication]
- Put these in the display up front. - Okay.
Ms. Chong! My tiny store is humbled by your presence.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
You really have a knack for business.
You must've invested a lot in this store.
I relied on my dad this time. He invested.
The money I earned before was all used up to pay off fines in the States.
If I only relied on myself to open up such a big store
I would probably have to sell handbags for five years.
You're not rejecting your dad's help now?
That was in the past.
Come on inside.
What do you think? My store is pretty nice, isn't it?
You set this all up yourself?
Of course! Who do you think I am?
Come, have a seat.
- You're not busy today? - I have the day off.
Okay, dinner's on me tonight.
Keep going. How did you come to this decision?
I was rebellious as a kid.
I thought obeying my parents was embarrassing.
Now that I've grown up, I have a different mindset.
My parents have a successful business, so they must have experience.
I'm their son. Why should I be embarrassed?
Now I seek their advice when needed.
You've matured. You think things out now.
Back then, I didn't know better.
Please forgive me.
You have outstanding faults
but you also have outstanding qualities.
Don't undervalue yourself.
Yes, Ms. Chong. Let's not undervalue ourselves.
Thank you.
Where should I stick this?
That? Over there.
Give me one too.
It won't look good if you keep my door bare.
I was afraid you would mind.
Why would I? I'm happy that Yao Yao is getting married.
It'll be so festive with the courtyard filled with decorations.
Okay! Pick one.
Let me see. This one is nice.
That's pretty.
You guys, don't be late tomorrow!
The food will be delicious. Don't complain if you miss out.
- Okay, we'll definitely be there. - Don't worry.
- All right, I'm taking off. Bye! - Bye.
- Don't be late tomorrow. - All right.
I'm in uniform.
Just a hug.
I can shake your hand.
You're terrible.
This is already considered a violation of the rules.
I know, Chief Li.
You're just tormenting yourself.
You're getting married tomorrow and you're still on duty tonight.
I made the rules myself.
Singles should take on more responsibility.
This is my last day being single, so I need to do a good job on my last beat.
Don't be late tomorrow.
I won't be. I get off at 6 a.m.
I'll be at your place by 7 a.m. Perfect timing.
No rush! Eat breakfast first.
I know.
So I won't be giving you a ride home.
You don't have to. I can take the bus home.
It's more comfortable than your bike.
Even if you wanted me to give you a ride, I couldn't.
I know! Violation of the rules, right?
Hurry and go.
If you're late on your last beat
everybody in your station will make fun of you.
I know.
Remember to eat breakfast!
I know!
Wife!
What are you up to?
Playing online games?
Nothing to do.
You know what?
Chang Gong used to make chatrooms and now you're playing online games.
Computers inflict a lot of suffering.
You're one of a kind, living like in ancient times.
I saved a mobile SIM card for you. Xiao Zhou has it. Go get it.
Yao Yao is getting married tomorrow.
I have a monetary gift ready.
How much are you giving?
6,000 yuan.
6,000 yuan? That much?
Why are you so excited? It's not for you.
I had this custom-made for her.
I thought Li Ning Feng would definitely be unhappy with that.
Later on, I thought I'd leave it and give them a monetary gift instead.
It's quite pretty. Where did you buy it?
I met a friend in Shenzhen. It's his new brand.
Zocai.
So... are you sad?
Get lost.
I'll get my SIM card.
- Go to bed early. - I know.
Auntie.
Hello, Han Dong.
I was afraid I would get up late tomorrow, so I came over now.
Is there anything I can help with?
No need.
Bride.
Are you ignoring me?
Did you invite Chong Jia You?
As you ordered, I invited her.
Why is he calling my cell?
Hello? Didn't I say not to call my cell?
Call the cordless phone.
The cell is too expensive. It's 0.10 yuan a minute.
Okay, I know.
I'm going to sleep soon.
I'm getting makeup done at 5 a.m.
Pretty good, right? This is my best man outfit for tomorrow.
- Pretty handsome. - Of course.
Your tie is just a bit short. Or is your torso too long?
A short tie can be adjusted to be longer. You say all the wrong things.
Why was Wei Xiao Shan chosen to be best man?
He's such a big guy. That is a lot of material to make a suit.
I know you're in a bad mood.
Don't stir up trouble. Be gone.
Who's in a bad mood?
Yao Yao said we shouldn't let others reap the benefits
so she let him be best man and he even got a free suit.
Yao Yao is the most loyal.
I have to drink with guests tomorrow. Keep a close eye on him.
It'll be embarrassing if he gets drunk.
I know.
Why do you need to keep an eye on me? Would I embarrass you guys?
You've embarrassed us many times.
