[My Story For You]
[Episode 17]
Did you take the wrong measurements?
How come it takes so much effort to open the door?
Is it too big?
Ma'am, it expands and contracts depending on the weather.
It'll seem big during the summer but it'll be perfect in the winter.
Contract? The heat will be on in the winter.
Go check out the bathroom.
- I'll go check the kitchen. - This way.
Sir, here you go.
It's time to purchase the stove and range hood.
Once the toilet is installed, work will be complete.
I've been busy lately. Why don't I give you the money first?
No, no! We can purchase those ourselves.
Okay.
Listen, you can't let them buy it for you.
They won't buy the best for you.
They also take a middleman commission.
You've never done renovations before. You act as if you know everything.
It's from talking with others.
I've been chatting with people at the furniture and home improvement plaza.
I'm now half a home improvement expert.
Sure, I'm impressed!
I have to head back to the office. Why don't I catch a cab for you?
Don't!
There's a bus station at the gate. It's just a short bus ride home.
Go do your work. Your dad and I have to browse the furniture stores.
Let's go. You go do your thing.
Let's look at window curtains today.
I'll go with you.
No, go do your work. I can just go with your dad.
Renovations are almost done and I haven't even put any attention into it.
- Come on, Mom. - Okay.
This way.
Be careful.
This seems to be wrong.
Let's go check.
Let's go.
Just finished?
A big job. Twins.
You're welcoming new life every day.
What plans do you have for your own life?
I'm pretty as a flower. Why would I need to plan?
Oh, stop it!
I've been seeing a man pick you up from work lately.
Someone new?
My mom set us up.
I already told him he had no chance
but he doesn't listen and insists on picking me up from work.
He does seem to fall short of Officer Li.
Come, come.
You also think Li Ning Feng is better, don't you?
But he's not interested in me. It's no use even if I think he's great.
Create a chance.
I've already tried.
Xiao Ai, I can sense it. I'm not a fool.
He must like me a little bit.
But he's a bit of a fool.
I guess he's been single for too long.
Ask him out for breakfast tomorrow morning.
I'm always the one asking him out. Why should I?
Give me his number. I'll ask him.
I'll say I want to ask for his advice.
Hurry up.
59702331.
It's going through.
Hello, how can I help you?
Hello, I'm looking for Li Ning Feng.
That's me.
Hello, Officer Li. This is Xiao Ai.
Oh, hello.
Are you free tomorrow morning? I want to ask you out for breakfast.
Don't be nervous later.
Look, he's here again.
This is great.
Take him along for breakfast and take care of two problems at once.
Let's go.
Sorry I'm late. I had to take care of something.
That's okay.
- Oh, you're here? - You just noticed?
Who's this?
Hello, Chief Li. I've seen you before. You made a speech at an awards ceremony.
My name is Zhu Da You.
Hello.
I'll go buy some food.
You have food coming. Yao Yao ordered for you.
Two sesame-coated biscuits, two pork shaomai, and a bowl of congee.
10 yuan.
- I'll pay you later. - No, I got it!
No, I have to pay her.
If I don't, she will hold this over me until the 2008 Olympics.
Thank you.
So what did you want to see me for?
Nothing much.
I was working in the ER lately and treated wounds on an injured cop.
I remembered you helped Yao Yao, so I thought I'd treat you to breakfast.
I helped her?
You forgot?
That time I picked her up at the police station.
Eminent.
What did you say?
I say, an eminent person has short memory.
It was so long ago. Don't mention it.
You're a doctor?
No, I'm still in school.
Are you graduating soon?
I was studying Chinese medicine before.
I later wanted to be a surgeon
so I transferred here and started all over again.
I have a long way to go.
What department do you want to go into?
Cardiac Surgery.
Women are rare in that department.
Of course! It's a lot of hard work.
You're on your feet from morning to night.
You must have a healthy back and strong arms.
Cracking open ribs is a common daily activity.
What are you laughing at?
Nothing, it's quite interesting.
Interesting?
Going to class is more interesting.
You should steel yourself if you want to pursue a woman in the medical field.
We're not like most girls.
Why not?
Don't ask.
If you keep asking
she'll go on to prove she knows the male body better than you do.
I see.
What's that expression?
Without us female medical professionals who study the male body
would you have a healthy and full life?
If you continue to look down on us public servants
I'll have to tell you about last night's hacked corpse case.
Tell us in detail.
You're really interested?
I often read forensic reports. They're quite interesting.
Look, you two ruined Zhu's appetite with your choice of conversation.
He's too squeamish.
It's okay. I don't have enough experience.
I'll take this as practice.
Hello?
Yes, I'm near the hospital.
Okay, I'll head back right away.
Sorry, my teacher needs me. I have to head back. I'll see you all next time.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
I'm going to go too.
Bye.
I...
What?
You're just leaving?
What else should I do? Have lunch with you two?
Forget it. I'll let you two be.
I...
Take a look at the layoff list for each department.
How many are being laid off?
120 in the first round.
120?
The company only has 200 employees in total.
There's no way around it.
The company lost another three million yuan last month.
If not for Chairman Lin's help, we couldn't even afford to pay salaries.
Talk to them one by one. Don't leave any hard feelings.
Come in.
- Manager Zhang. - Sit down.
Manager Zhang, is it true what they're saying?
I'm sure you know a bit about the company's recent situation.
The company was making good profit last year
but some problems have occurred this year.
The country made economic readjustments and the entire IT industry is drying up
leading to our company's drastic drop in profits.
The company has to downsize in order to weather this crisis
and there will be a considerable amount of layoffs.
But I just passed my probationary period.
I just graduated last month.
I've been working very hard since joining the company.
I didn't even take time off when I was sick
because I was afraid I wouldn't become an official employee.
You have a very positive evaluation.
However, the company will be making large-scale changes
and the network business may be halted for the time being.
Don't worry.
We'll compensate you with a month's wages according to the contract.
CEO Dong also specifically instructed
that we compensate new graduates like you an extra month of wages.
This is...
The letter of termination. Please sign.
Manager Zhang, can you write a letter of recommendation for me?
I didn't go to a prestigious college, so finding a job is difficult.
Sure, I'll have the HR manager write you one.
But to be honest...
It won't be very useful.
Thank you, Manager.
Bye.
Bye!
Mu Zi, we're leaving. Bye!
Bye!
We're leaving! Bye!
Bye! Bye!
Let's play one last game.
It's the last day and you still want me to lose?
Make you lose? I'll be playing you and Lao Ye can take on Mu Zi.
No way! She's terrible at cards!
Now you guys are mocking my playing skills?
I only played to satisfy your addiction. I said before I didn't know how to play.
We're just teasing.
Fine, let's play.
Same as usual. The loser has to foot the bill for Sichuan spicy fish.
It's hard to forget the first time I paid.
A total of 170 yuan!
In my memory
I play my cards the best!
It's hard to forget the first time I met you.
I couldn't help falling in love with you.
I know you three can't drink much.
Just take one sip each.
Lin Jin, you have it best. You can continue studying.
This is called avoidance.
I want to stay in school another two years before working.
I'm scared. I'm afraid of the real world.
You two found the best jobs.
You each got into one of the top five accounting firms.
Pity me. I interviewed with all of them and was rejected every single time.
- I'm so envious! - What for?
Mu Zi and I are going to be working for you
when you become our client.
We'll just be lowly footmen who smile and bow.
Stop it!
Don't be so sad.
We'll still be in the same city. We can meet up when we have time.
That's right. Cheers.
Bottoms up!
[Old Witch]
- Your boyfriend? - My boss.
That witch?
I really feel that after taking on this internship
my heart has gotten weaker.
She calls me day and night.
All she talks about is work.
She thinks about work even when she's showering.
After the shower, she'll have figured something out
and then she'll start calling each person.
I really think I won't last the probationary period.
I'm much better off than you, then.
My boss is a man
and loves to drink, dine, and entertain the foreigner superiors.
He never harasses his subordinates.
Instead of consoling me, you rub salt in my wounds. You're terrible.
You should think of it this way.
Be determined and stick it out, so that when you finally become the boss
you make sure you don't give your subordinates a hard time
and become the best boss.
You should work with the intention of saving the entire industry.
I don't have such noble pursuits.
Our graduation ceremony isn't until next year.
We'll get to meet again.
Let's not get so emotional.
- Here. - Here.
To the internship period ending soon.
- Cheers. - Bottoms up.
Drink up!
It feels like a dream.
I'm graduating soon.
I'm actually quite scared.
Were you afraid of working?
Me?
I was unemployed as soon as I graduated. I was afraid I couldn't find a job.
But you later found a job and things continued to get better.
You were unemployed only temporarily.
So what are you worried about?
I don't know.
I look forward to it but I'm also afraid I won't do a good job.
- Something on your mind? - No.
Am I being too serious?
It feels as if you're not in a good mood.
Yes.
Come, tell me about it.
This is the key to the new house. Renovations are nearly complete.
Why are you giving me the key?
I could lose it at any time.
I'll keep the spare key with you for convenience.
So I'm keeping your spare key?
And you have to keep it with you every day.
I could lose my key at any time.
Don't worry.
You were drinking?
I had a great time when I was drinking.
Now it feels a bit unbearable.
What is?
Graduation.
It's okay.
What?
Pat me again.
Does that satisfy your request?
Other students will see.
You're graduating. Who cares?
It's okay.
I'll go first.
This...
Gramps, didn't you see his cannon?
Young man, you sure are annoying.
Don't you know observers should keep quiet?
Gramps.
You should keep an eye on his chariot.
Brat! Why are you helping both sides?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Here's your change.
- Hi! - Hey, how are you doing?
I'm good. How's your day?
Fine.
- I'll get the same. - Same.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Do you understand Mandarin?
Of course. We're from the same country.
So, ridiculously pretty girl from my country, what's your name?
Lin Nan.
Han Dong.
What are you watching?
Why aren't you greeting customers?
"Pearl Harbor."
There are so many customers. What do you think you're doing?
Forget about them. They browse but don't buy.
I have something to show you.
Take your pick. A gift for you.
Are you sure?
Yes.
These are samples of each bag.
Don't worry. There's high demand. I guarantee they'll bring in profit.
Hi.
You don't have class today?
I'm not going.
I'll worry about it when it's exam time.
How long have you been in New York?
Me? A few years.
You've forgotten?
Yes.
Anyway, it took a lot of effort.
I also went through a lot to decide to come here.
Want to drink with me?
- I'm back. - You're home?
My manager is ridiculous. It's so hot but a suit is still required.
I'm going to get heatstroke!
Darling, I had this ready for you.
Thanks, Mom.
By the way, I'm staying over at Lin Jin's tonight.
I'm taking this upstairs. I'm going to watch the World Cup.
Slow down.
- You're home? - Grandpa.
How come you're interested in soccer now?
Grandpa, don't you know? It's a big event today.
How come I didn't know? Tell me about it.
Today is the World Cup tournament.
Our national soccer team is taking on the world.
I'm going upstairs.
Taking on the world?
Excuse me!
Mu Zi! Mu Zi!
Over here!
- Let's sit over there. - Okay.
Sit here.
- Over here. - Okay.
Your brother isn't here?
Right, it's starting soon.
What has he been up to lately? He's nowhere to be seen.
I don't know either. I just got back from a work trip.
Even interns have to go on work trips?
Interns only get a taste of the real job. Official employees are used like slaves.
What's that on your face?
Come to the restroom with me.
You can draw it?
Done.
It looks great! You can sell your art.
I practiced on myself first, so it was easier to draw yours.
When your brother gets here, draw one on him too.
Go, China!
You still haven't left?
In a bit.
Here.
Okay.
It's the white hair, isn't it?
In the past, I didn't believe hair could turn white overnight.
The real estate business has been doing well this year.
Want to help out there?
- Me? - Yes.
Is the company doing that badly?
What about the website?
It's closing down.
There's no more money to burn.
We can go back to our original line of work, data center management.
The industry is failing. Nothing we do will work out.
Chairman Lin can be rather temperamental.
I heard you turned him down once.
If you turn him down again this time...
I'm afraid you won't get another chance.
I want to stay in this line of business.
The Internet will rise again.
Okay, I'll be waiting to see it.
I'll watch you and the Internet rise again.
Take care.
Okay, keep in touch.
- Bye. - Bye.
Leaving today?
I'm fortunate to have worked with you. Let's stay in touch.
Sure.
I was already feeling reluctant. You've made me even more emotional now.
- When are you leaving? - Probably the day after tomorrow.
After sending off the last batch of employees
it'll be time for me to go.
- Take care. - You too.
Go, go, go.
Go! Take the ball! Go!
Go, go! Pass it!
Go, yes, pass! Good!
Jump! Go, go!
Go, go, go!
Goal! Goal!
It's too loud in here. I'm going outside to take a call.
Be careful. Don't get lost. We still have to watch the parade later.
Keep your phone on. I'll call you if it's your brother.
Okay.
Hello?
The China team qualified!
I remember you told me you weren't interested in soccer.
You were interested, so I came to like it.
It's the first time China qualified.
As patriotic as I am, of course I'm happy.
Oh, right! I wasn't finished telling you about my boss!
When checking out, she yelled at the attendant all the way to the lobby.
She made the poor girl cry. They sent a man later.
She continued to yell.
I was flabbergasted watching her.
She's that much of a terror?
Later, I came to the conclusion that she treats me the best.
Where were you? How come you're so late?
There were some things to do at work and I got the car washed afterward.
All right, let's not talk about my boss. Let's go eat.
I'm starving and haven't eaten yet. There is nothing but drinks inside.
I'm really busy today. How about another day?
I can't hear you!
Let's go celebrate!
Guess what? Someone at my office quit.
Why?
Because our boss is so awful.
She makes us work 24 hours a day.
Even Human Resources says
her department has the highest turnover rate.
I should've asked about that.
I thought having a female boss would be better than a male boss.
- I regret it now. - Bear with it.
That's how it is when you first start out.
I've been enduring it for a long time.
You've forgotten how she pushed me around in Changchun.
Work isn't easy.
You just started interning and you already want to quit.
That will look bad on your resume.
I know that.
Everybody knows these things.
I don't want to hear your lecture.
I'm not lecturing you. I just want to tell you how hard life is.
It's not as simple as you think.
I know life is hard.
I just want to hear you console me.
I can't let you develop this habit of complaining.
This will make you subconsciously hate this job.
That's not good for you at all.
Even if I quit, I can find another job.
We qualified! We qualified!
- We qualified! - We won!
He doesn't know to court or say nice things.
I hate you!
- We qualified! - So awesome!
China's soccer team finally qualified!
Miss, which district do you live in?
We're going the same way. Why don't I give you a ride home?
We're not in the same district.
Why are you copying Han Dong?
Why am I like him?
Can't I court my own girlfriend?
When it comes to courting girlfriends, you're light years behind him.
If I were a pro at it, would you be with me?
Let me just say, cars aren't allowed to stop here.
Then you could get fined.
It doesn't matter if I get fined.
I'm just afraid your pretty stems will get tired.
Say something nice.
There were evil monsters all the way here.
What a sight for sore eyes you are!
I finally spy a beautiful lady.
You pass this time.
You're the only one in my eyes.
You have to tell me 10 stories to cheer me up next time.
Okay.
Watch out.
See? I wasn't lying.
Serves you right for not fueling up.
Where's the plushy I gave you?
I had my car washed and it was dirty so--
Did you give it to someone else?
What are you thinking?
I'm sorry.
I wasn't in a good mood today.
I was a bit... rude when talking to you.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I just haven't seen you in so long.
Let's go.
- Hello? - Hello?
How come it's so noisy on your end? Are you outside?
Yes.
I thought you didn't have work today. Why didn't you pick up?
There are too many people parading outside tonight.
Nobody took the day off.
You're working?
I won't keep you, then.
It's okay. I just left the hospital.
Dozens of people were in a brawl.
A lot of people were injured.
What about you? Are you okay?
I'm fine. Just a light punch.
What? Where are you?
I'm heading home. I'm hanging up now.
Wei Xiao Shan, I'm leaving. I'm not waiting for Chang Gong.
No! We didn't watch the parade yet.
Besides, there's no bus station here. How are you leaving?
It'll be hard to catch a cab tonight.
Wait for your brother to give you a ride.
You're so long-winded! I can't wait. There's a life on the line!
Zhang Yao Yao!
Are you okay?
Uh... no. I'm fine.
Weren't you going to watch the parade?
Yes, I couldn't catch a cab. I ran here.
Why do you keep getting hurt?
You're so old already and still risking your life every day.
Chief Li, let her in quickly.
If a neighbor calls the police about a noise complaint
should we handle it or not?
Come in.
We'll leave, Chief Li. Get some rest.
Don't leave in such a hurry. Greet her.
Chief Li, how do we address this lady who came by in the middle of the night?
If you're leaving, then get going and don't worry about it!
We've seen her so many times and you haven't introduced her.
That's not too appropriate.
I... I'm Zhang Yao Yao.
What?
My ears are ringing from all the screaming from soccer fans.
I can't hear anything.
Chief Li, what did she say her name is?
Call her Sis-in-law.
Hello, Sis-in-law!
We're leaving now, Chief Li.
Bye, Sis-in-law!
Why didn't they close the door?
Yao Yao.
If I misunderstood...
just pretend I didn't say anything.
It's so late already.
Why don't I walk you home?
You didn't misunderstand.
Weren't you pretending to be a fool?
Not anymore?
I couldn't keep pretending.
I thought you were going to keep pretending until the end of time.
Until I got married.
In the past, I've only had one hazy romance.
I was in my 20s and in the police academy.
After I became a cop, I went on a few blind dates
but none of them worked out.
Later on, I was too busy with work and I didn't think about it anymore.
Who asked for your history?
I feel I'll have to tell you sooner or later.
If you have more questions, just ask them all at once.
I don't have any questions.
Are you still in contact with the girl from the police academy?
No.
Is your wound deep?
No.
- Did you get a tetanus shot? - Yes.
Enough about me.
What's that on your face?
I talked to your coworkers with this on?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
You started talking as soon as you came in.
How could I tell you then?
That's so embarrassing!
Did you wash it off?
I'll take you home.
I haven't even been here for 10 minutes.
You already said twice you'd take me home.
Who does that?
Look at the time. 10 p.m.
We can talk tomorrow.
We have plenty of time ahead of us.
Who'll have time for you?
Remember to come see me tomorrow.
I'll change your dressing. Don't let someone else do it.
I know. Hurry in.
You leave first. I want to watch you leave.
I'll be worried unless I see you go in.
I'm right outside my house. What do you have to worry about?
You go first.
It's an occupational habit.
Go on.
Bye.
