Standing in the Time Episode 14
You follow one principle in your blog, but another in reality.
Don't you think this is too false?
In your real life, everything is true and nothing is false?
You had a quarrel?
The author requested Mr. Wu to change a proofreader.
I don't want to be her proofreader.
"The Growth of a New Mother."
There is a mistake, Li Xiao.
5,000 copies for the first batch have already been printed
and they cannot be taken back.
We give a serious warning to Li Xiao,
the proofreader who made this mistake.
All her bonuses this month will be deducted.
Let's go home.
Sweetheart, what do you want to eat today?
I want to eat meat.
You want to eat meat again?
Didn't you eat meat for lunch in the kindergarten?
The meat cooked in the kindergarten didn't taste good.
OK, OK.
I'll cook yummy meat for you tonight.
OK.
Let's go home.
Xiao, you're finally back.
Your mom called you many times, but you didn't answer it.
I also called you, and you didn't answer it either.
What time is it now?
What happened?
Xiao, Xiao.
Remember to call your mom.
What happened?
Hello, Xiao.
You finally called.
Are you too busy at work?
Is it Xiao?
Mom, what's up?
Nothing,
but do you remember what day it is tomorrow?
What?
It's your birthday tomorrow.
You must have forgotten it because of the busy work.
Oh.
What's that?
We called you to ask how you will celebrate it tomorrow.
Are you going to treat your colleagues to a feast or something alike?
We are not around, but you should celebrate it, and don't neglect it.
And you should celebrate it lively, just like how we did it at home.
Mom,
how about I going back home and celebrating it tomorrow?
You're coming back home?
I have a day off tomorrow.
That's great.
So you are coming back tomorrow.
I'm going back tomorrow morning.
We'll go pick you up at the station.
After you buy a ticket, tell us when you'll arrive.
OK.
I'll cook your favorite, Sweet and Sour Ribs, for you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow, mom.
See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow.
Do you know that I've looked for you for long?
You eat this again.
Did you see my message?
Yes.
I came to confirm the shooting tomorrow.
I made it clear in the message.
Tomorrow you'll have the first-time special shooting
with James, Mo's model, after signing the contract.
It's very important.
Did you hear me?
Yes.
After you heard it, could you please say something?
Is there anything else?
And next week you'll have a very important shooting job.
We invited Zeng Jun to shoot for the cover.
Amanda spent a long time persuading Zeng Jun's agent
to agree to let you and James' photo
in an inside page behind Zeng Jun's cover,
and you can do it at the same time with him.
This is an excellent chance for promotion for you.
I want you to know it.
I see.
Then I'll leave you alone.
I hope you can go back home early
and take responsibility for yourself.
You signed the contract.
Don't eat this.
Whom are you looking for?
Hello. I'm Zhou Zimo.
I came for Li Xiao.
Who are you?
I'm her friend.
Her friend?
You don't know she quit?
This was her table.
Young man.
Come, come with me.
Here is the thing.
Li Xiao hadn't been a proofreader for a long time, so unavoidably
she made some mistakes.
But maybe she couldn't accept the result of her mistake this time.
You're young, and it's good that you're ambitious.
But she is being too fragile.
Thanks.
Is your boss here?
Zhou... Is Li Xiao here?
Where is she?
I called her, but she didn't answer it.
I can't get in touch with her.
She quit her job, do you know that?
She quit?
She quit it, all of a sudden.
No wonder.
Where is she?
She goes back home.
I saw she leave with luggage.
How long ago did she leave?
Just a while ago.
Where is her home?
Oldest Nephew!
Nanjing.
Text her address to me.
You can't call me that way.
Kiddo, behave yourself.
Sir, sir, do you have a ticket?
I'll buy one after I get on the train.
Sorry.
It's now allowed.
Please leave. Please leave.
I have something really urgent.
Please leave.
I'm sorry.
Come, please come in.
What's the matter?
Zhou Zimo, where are you?
I just left the brand party.
I'll get to the studio in a while.
I called you but you didn't answer it.
I texted you, but you didn't give response.
What is this?
I'm busy with something urgent.
The shooting starts in two hours.
Now you told me that you have something urgent to do.
Where are you?
I'll explain it to you later.
Didn't I tell you to spare these two days?
Do you know what it means?
Tell Mo's model to do it first.
OK?
What is this?
Where are you now?
I'm at the railway station.
What are you doing there?
Stand there, and I'm coming.
Excuse me, I have something urgent.
Could you please let me use it? Thank you.
Zhou Zimo!
Zhou Zimo, stop!
Where are you going?
Xia Fan, I have something very important to do.
You have to do the shooting. What about the shooting?
I'll take responsibility for the result.
How can you act like this?
Can you be a little mature?
I really have something to do.
See you.
Stop.
Excuse me, please make way for me.
Zhou Zimo! Zhou Zimo!
Sorry.
Ma'am, wait a second.
Do you have a ticket?
Zhou Zimo!
Wait a second. Wait a second.
Ma'am, do you have a ticket?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I was really in a hurry just now, I was in a hurry.
Now I'm leaving.
I'm leaving right now.
Hello.
You parked your car illegally.
Please show me your driving license.
I, I was really in a hurry just now.
I came back.
Now I'm leaving.
Sir.
According to Article 63 of "Traffic Safety Law,"
motor vehicles should be considered as being illegally parked
if they are parked at places with signs for no parking.
I explained it to you, and now I have something urgent to do.
Could you please let me go?
Our society is under the rule of law.
If I let you go, how can I safeguard
the authority of the law and regulations of our country?
Why do all of you cause trouble to me?
Sir, I'm sorry.
Ma'am, the knowledge on illegally parking
is in the first part of the exam for a driving license.
If you still don't know it, I suggest
you review the questions of the first part of the exam online
and take the first part of the exam again.
I passed the exam, but the rules are set by people, right?
I'm really in a hurry, sir.
What is illegally parking?
You came back, but you broke the law.
All right.
As police, I told you everything about the law just now.
Aside from being police, I'm also an ordinary citizen in Shanghai.
Since you made a mistake, I suggest you admit it.
You should admit it modestly.
People make mistakes.
It's not a big deal.
No one would intentionally find fault with you
or cause trouble to you.
Since you broke the law, you can pay the fine according to law.
Tomorrow, you can go on living a normal life.
Tomorrow, the sun rises as usual.
No one would especially show you the dark side.
Understand?
I've got enough of your teaching.
I'm really sorry.
Where is Xia Fan?
She didn't answer her phone?
Who knows where Xia Fan is?
It can't be connected.
No one answered it.
Keep trying.
OK.
I'm sorry.
There is a little accident.
Please wait for a while.
I'm very sorry.
Mo, call your model now and tell him to take Zhou Zimo's place.
OK. No problem.
Amanda.
All is ready.
We need to dress the model up.
When will our customer arrive?
In about 40 minutes.
How long does it take to get to RESA's studio?
In half an hour?
When will your model come?
In 20 minutes.
15 minutes!
OK.
15 minutes, you have to be here in 15 minutes.
Quick.
Do you want to call?
Yes.
Master Yunzhi's books always sell well.
You are amazing.
Thank you.
But I didn't do it alone.
Who is it?
Yes, hello.
It's me, Xia Fan.
Sunshine.
What's the matter?
I had a little accident.
Hold on.
What happened? Tell me.
I'm at a police station.
Police station?
How did you get there?
Zhou Zimo suddenly ran away before the shooting, so I chased him,
but I didn't notice that I parked my car illegally.
Then, then a policeman came.
We have a minor conflict.
You fought a policeman?
I didn't.
I didn't do it on purpose.
All right. I got it.
Which police station is it?
I...
Excuse me, can I know which police station this is?
Railway Station Police Station.
OK. Thank you.
I'm at Railway Station Police Station.
OK. I see.
Wait a second. I'll go get you.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
Don't worry. I'm on my way.
Wait for me.
You know, madam, people may be in a bad mood
and lose control of themselves, right?
Don't be mad at her, or take it too seriously.
We citizens know clearly that you have a hard time every day
as the police.
My friend now feels very guilty and regretful.
All right.
Don't do it again.
Formalities on her car haven't been finished.
You can take it away in several days.
OK.
Thanks.
Let's go.
It's ended.
I really feel that I shouldn't have done that.
I don't know why, but it became like this.
I shouldn't have done that kind of thing.
I shouldn't.
But at least you did one thing right,
that is, calling me.
Eat some of this.
Living a clean life.
Where did you learn this?
Eat it and then I'll tell you.
It's a long story.
I learned it many years ago
from a TV drama.
Here.
I'll take you back home.
You can have a bath and rest.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
After you go back home, take a bath, put on a mask and rest.
I'm not in that mood to have rest.
Wait for me for a while.
I'll go get changed, and then we get back to Dongfan.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Can't you work tomorrow?
Amanda must even want to kill me now.
I must go to apologize to her quickly.
Take your time.
Wait a second.
Geez.
We should have left home earlier.
I didn't expect such a heavy traffic.
Xiao.
Mom.
Sweetheart, happy birthday.
Thank you.
You must be tired.
Come. Quick. Let's go.
That's a long journey. You must be tired.
Lets' go home. Let's go home.
Let's go home.
Are you tired?
Explain it to your Editor-in-Chief in a while.
You were saved.
Mr. Wu, you are so cool.
Stop making jokes.
Xia Fan, tell me.
Just what happened?
Did you really beat police?
How about having dinner together tonight and telling me the details?
You heard me? You heard me?
What happened? I want to know it.
Amanda.
Get out.
Did I let you in?
Come in.
Amanda.
What's wrong with you?!
Your model didn't show up, neither did you.
You didn't come, and didn't answer your phones.
Did you just disappear?
I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.
Before the shooting, Zhou Zimo suddenly ran away.
I chased, but on the way, something occurred.
No need to explain it.
Zhou Zimo is your model, right?
He is your model, so it's your problem.
I'm really sorry, Amanda.
This time it might be because of my incompetency at work.
But before this, Zhou Zimo didn't cooperate in shooting.
I think we can consider breaking off the agreement with him.
Breaking off the agreement with him?
I signed the contract with him not long ago.
But you told me to break it off.
Are you kidding me?
You think this work is a game?
Whether to break off the agreement with the model or not,
it's not your business.
If you can't get your work done, you'd better think
whether you should go on working in RESA or not.
This time, I asked James to do the shooting.
You'd better ask Zhou Zimo
when he can do the shooting as soon as possible.
Take him under control, and don't cause any problem in the future.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'll do it soon.
Get out.
I'm sorry. I'll do it soon.
Get in, it's warm inside.
Grandpa, grandma.
Dad and mom, Xiao came back.
Xiao.
What's wrong? You must be tired.
You're touched. You're touched.
It's fine. It's fine.
You are crying.
I'm going to put the luggage in my room.
Don't. Don't. Don't.
You're tired. Let me do it.
Grandpa, let me do it.
Let me do it. Let me do it.
Quick.
We'll start dinner soon.
OK.
Xiao, come and eat.
Coming.
Xiao, eat.
Come on, take the bottle of wine that my comrade-in-arms gave me.
Let's drink.
Dad, don't.
Last time in the physical examination, didn't the doctor tell you
not to drink?
We can't get together often.
I'm happy today.
I must drink some.
OK. I'll drink with you.
Don't drink too much.
Xiao.
You must have a hard time living alone outside.
I know it.
If you feel tired and want to come back home, we all back you up.
Cheers.
Xiao.
Eat.
Here.
I'm in front of your building.
Quit your phone. Eat.
I'm going out for a while.
You go on.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to buy something to drink.
What do you want to drink?
I can buy it for you.
No, thank you, mom.
Since she leaves, we can make some preparations.
That's right.
Are you really going to leave in Shanghai?
What about you?
Don't you have shooting work these days?
You just signed the contract, but you came here.
I must come.
Let's get to my home now.
Li Xiao.
Your, your parents...
What's wrong?
You're my friend.
Let's go.
Coming. Coming.
Happy birthday to you.
This is...
He is Zhou Zimo.
He is my friend.
Nice to meet you.
Is this your boyfriend?
Grandma, no.
He is just a friend of mine.
Xiao, move, blow it.
Grandpa has been holding it.
Are you all right?
Are you having a stroke again?
Let's go to hospital.
I told you not to drink wine.
I told you that.
Mom, stop that.
I'm going to drive. I'm going to drive.
Mom, let's take dad to the hospital.
Take care.
Grandpa, hold on.
Take care.
Slow, slow, slow.
Dad, dad, dad.
Come help.
Li, you drank wine. You can't drive.
Let me drive, ma'am.
Thank you.
Mom, go with grandma and take a taxi.
We go there first.
We're going to take a taxi.
You leave first.
Take care. Slow.
Take care.
Mom, let's take a taxi.
How is he?
Is he all right?
A problem that often occurs to the elderly,
a transient ischemic attack.
It seems not a big problem, but you have to take it seriously.
The mindset is very important.
When he feels not pressured, he can recover very quickly.
Usually in 24 hours, he can recover.
After he goes back home,
pay attention to his diet and let him do exercises.
Don't underestimate it.
OK. OK.
Thank you.
Look, look, he smiles though one side of his mouth droops.
Don't stay here.
Let him have rest.
Just one needs to stay.
Others, come out with me.
Then we, we... Don't let him drink wine anymore.
Got it. Thank you.
We'll wait outside.
Mom, we'll wait outside.
We'll come to take your place in a while.
Go, go, go.
Listen, in a while after dad falls asleep,
you go back with Xiao and mom.
I stay here with dad.
Dad, how about I staying here?
I can do it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
He,
he is Zhou Zimo.
Zhou Zimo.
I'm sorry for having caused so much trouble to you.
Sit, sit.
Sit. Sit.
You're from Shanghai?
That's right.
Do you have any place to stay tonight?
Yes.
Yes?
Yes.
You go back home tonight, and I will stay with him here.
Sit, sit.
Did this often occur?
We'll talk about it later at night.
Zimo, come with me to buy some drinks.
Dad, let me go with you.
Sit.
OK.
Thank you for everything today.
It's fine, sir.
It's weird.
It's always been like this.
As long as Xiao is home, it's a mess.
What do you want to drink?
Anything is fine.
Are you hungry?
You didn't eat anything?
If you want to eat anything, just take it.
In a while, we can have some casserole outside,
so that Xiao and her mom can spend some time together.
OK.
I'll pay. I'll pay.
I can, I can, sir.
Let me pay.
No, no.
All right, how much?
20 yuan?
Let me hold the water.
OK.
Are you really not hungry?
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'll treat you to casserole in a while.
Mom,
if I lied to you,
will you be sad?
What?
Why did you lie?
In fact, I've been lying to you.
I didn't become
a fashion editor in RESA.
I'm a proofreader
in Dongfan Press.
Proofreader?
To find mistakes in people's books.
When I was on internship in RESA,
I took things too seriously and offended someone.
I don't know why, but they thought in this way
I could be a good proofreader.
So I was dispatched to the Proofreading Section.
They said when I did a good job, I could be transferred back to RESA.
But now I didn't do it well as a proofreader.
Proofreading is good.
You can read a lot of books then.
But I want to go back to RESA.
Proofreader,
proofreader is really good.
You know,
grandpa used to be a lieutenant colonel,
and dad is a principal.
Their titles both contain "xiao" in Chinese, so you were named this way.
But "xiao" can also be pronounced as "jiao."
Mom, why do you also say that?
Does it have anything to do with my name?
I'm Li Xiao, rather than Li Jiao.
Xiao.
If you really think that life is tough in Shanghai, come back then.
After you come back, we and grandparents will live with you.
We can stay together.
That is good, isn't it?
If I come back,
I may not find a job.
After you come back, grandpa and dad can help you find a job.
Though this place isn't so big as Shanghai,
there are also Publishing Press and fashion magazines here.
Mom,
if I come back, can I just stay at home and do nothing?
Of course.
If so, I really don't want to go back.
Then don't.
Move, eat.
Let's eat.
Come on.
Do you want to drink water?
OK.
Eat.
Do you live in Shanghai?
Very close to Shanghai.
Where do you work?
In Dongfan Press.
The same as Xiao?
That's good.
Eat.
What do you actually do?
Actually, I am
a writer.
You write books?
That's good.
Eat.
Have you written any books?
I haven't.
Right.
You're young.
No, no, don't take it in a wrong way, please.
I mean... I know.
When I was young, I also liked writing, but I'm not gifted.
This time you came to...
I just come to have a look.
Have a look?
You want to have a look at our home?
Not that, sir.
I know.
Did you have a quarrel with Xiao?
No.
We didn't.
It's acceptable that young people quarrel.
It doesn't matter.
As long as you talk and explain, it's fine.
Xiao is an honest kid.
She grew up under our great care, and seldom got scolded.
In this aspect, be more tolerant to her.
I will.
Your relationship started not long ago?
Actually,
we are not in a relationship yet.
