Ten Years Late
Episode 4
Relax.
I’m better now.
Don’t worry.
You look pretty.
Yeah.
You’re gorgeous.
Yeah.
Adjust the fabric.
Yuan Lai.
What...what are you doing?
Congratulations!
Goodness!
You scared me.
I thought you want to kidnap the bride.
But didn’t you get your target wrong?
Guys,
it’s all set.
Let’s go inside.
OK. Let’s go.
The train.
Jin Ran.
It’s been a while.
Yes, indeed.
You haven’t changed a bit.
You just can’t handle Yuan Lai, can you?
Go inside.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to today’s wedding.
I’m the host for tonight.
Gorgeous!
Hello, everyone, I’m Xu Xinyi.
I’m honored to be
the bridesmaid and the hostess.
Thank you for coming.
Good! Bravo!
Louis Cha, the famous kung fu novelist once said
he only believed in two kinds of love:
childhood sweethearts and love at first sight.
The bride and groom
happen to fit both kinds.
The bride Zhou Xizi
has been my good friend since college.
From the moment
this couple met each other till today,
it’s been ten years already.
I believe
they could come this far
because of their dedication
and determination.
Now, let’s give them a big round of applause
to welcome them to the stage.
-Great. -Welcome.
You first.
It’s OK. I’m not hungry.
It’s for Xinyi.
Xinyi doesn’t eat oysters.
She’s allergic to them.
I suggest
you take this.
She loves desserts.
Xinyi is allergic to oysters?
How come I didn’t know?
For ladies and gentlemen who are still single,
now it’s a critical moment for you.
Our bride
will pass on her happiness to you.
Let’s go.
Everyone,
please gather in front of the stage.
Let’s make a deal.
Give it to me if you grab it.
Sure. No problem.
I’m going to throw it.
OK.
Alright, I’ll count.
Three, two, one!
Congratulations!
Propose!
Propose! Propose!
Go ahead!
Propose! Propose!
Go.
Propose! Propose! Propose!
Propose!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
Alright! Alright!
Proposing to a girl
is a sacred matter.
I want to do it
at the right time
and the right place.
Please let us go this time.
Alright.
Fine. We won’t pester you.
You guys work it out yourselves.
Don’t go. You can’t drink.
I’ll go for you.
How could a man
join the bridesmaids to make toasts?
Come, let’s raise our glasses.
Finally, it’s our turn.
The bride is here with so many girls.
They aren’t afraid at all.
-Yes. -Right.
If no one drinks for her,
it won’t look good.
Am I right?
Yes. Drink it.
Drink it.
Yes, drink up.
Since you’ve said it,
I will drink up.
-Good! -Great!
Drink for friendship.
Hey,
all good things come in pairs.
Am I right?
-Yes. -Of course.
I’ll drink it for her.
No need. I can drink.
Allow me.
Give me.
The bride is my friend.
I shall drink it for her.
Yuan Lai.
-Good job! -Well done!
Cheers, everyone.
Cheers.
Congratulations!
Are you insane? What are you doing here?
Wipe your mouth first before speaking.
I don’t need your help.
You need to leave.
Get out!
What do you want?
I want you.
Can’t you see it?
Jin Ran,
you’re thinking too much.
What’s wrong?
You’re single and so am I.
Why can’t we be together?
Let me go!
Let go!
Since when have you become like this?
None of your business.
You left me and abandoned me five years ago.
Now you’re back and you put on this act.
You’re such a hypocrite.
A hypocrite?
Yuan Lai, how could you say that?
You chose him.
Are you happy?
Prove it to me if you are.
Why are you getting yourself drunk like this?
My happiness
is not your concern.
What are you doing?
Yuan Lai.
Yuan Lai, are you in there?
Are you OK, Yuan Lai?
Yuan Lai.
Can you hear me?
Yuan Lai.
Are you alright, Yuan Lai?
I’m fine.
I’m coming.
Don’t go out now.
I don’t want others to mistake us.
It’s been a while.
Why didn’t you tell me you came back?
What do you want me to say?
Don’t you have anything to tell me?
Right.
The one at fault
is too ashamed to say anything.
I always wonder
whether I was too stupid or you faked it too well.
I’ve had the answer now.
Jin Ran,
I don’t want to
pick a fight with you,
so I’ll cut to the chase.
Stop harassing Yuan Lai.
Nobody can wind back the clock.
The past is the past.
Now, our life is good.
Please leave us alone.
If what you said is truth,
then anything I do won’t affect you, isn’t it?
Since you can’t let go of the past,
why did you hurt her back then?
You can’t undo the harm.
I hurt her?
Chengzhi,
you know exactly
what you did back then.
Now you’re accusing me?
You’re the hypocrite!
Hypocrite?
Jin Ran, I’ve realized
you’ve learned nothing else abroad
other than lying through your teeth
and shifting the blame.
What did you say?
You’re a cheating bastard!
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Today is Zhou Xizi’s wedding.
Are you trying to sabotage it?
Come on.
Others have a lot of catching up to do with old friends.
Look at you two!
You’re at each other’s throat!
Excuse me, I need to go.
Why are you here alone?
I was looking for you.
I brought your favorite chocolate cake.
Are you upset?
Or do you feel unwell?
Zifu,
have you considered of marrying me?
My love for you is serious.
When do you plan to marry me?
What’s wrong with you today?
Is it because of the wedding
that you’ve become so sentimental?
You’re avoiding my question again.
Getting married
isn’t a trivial matter.
Stop rushing me.
Rushing you?
Am I the only one eager to get married?
You don’t want to?
I didn’t mean that.
We’ve been together for three years.
I’ve been the bridesmaid three times.
If marriage isn’t in your plan,
then just tell me
so that we can stop wasting each other’s time.
Xinyi,
since you brought it up,
let me ask you,
we’ve been together for three years.
All these years,
neither did I know your favorite food
was chocolate cake,
nor did I know you were allergic to oysters.
But that Ding Ang
clearly knows you well.
What’s the relationship between you two?
Seriously?
You’re my boyfriend.
How could you not know my favorite food?
And you’re blaming me for it?
I’m disappointed with you.
Xinyi!
I’m furious!
Hey,
aren’t those two sucky friends?
One left early,
and the other didn’t show up at all.
You’re the best, Yuan Lai.
Don’t walk the talk.
Show me how much you love me.
I have a question.
Who will you choose, a sweet guy or a cool guy?
I don’t know what you’re saying.
Stop pretending.
Tell me, will you choose Zhao Chengzhi,
or your ex Jin Ran?
Stop it.
Chengzhi and I are just friends.
Just friends?
Poor guy.
After all these years, he still can’t win your heart.
You aren’t touched by him at all?
Hadn’t I met my husband first,
I might’ve been attracted to him.
Xizi,
to be honest,
Chengzhi is a truly
wonderful man.
I want him to gain happiness.
His happiness is even more important than mine.
But what could I do?
In terms of love,
I’m touched
doesn’t mean I love him.
I hope
he can find someone who truly loves him.
I’m not suitable for him.
What about Jin Ran?
You were so close back then.
Why did you break up?
I don’t want to talk about it.
Fine. Alright.
It’s up to you who you love and don’t love.
I wish you all happiness.
We’ll be happy.
Hi.
Are you busy,
ladies?
What’s wrong?
Are you badmouthing me?
Of course not.
-We’re praising you. -How do you know?
Mr. Ding, look,
the subway entrance is west of our mall.
And the underground garage has three entrances and exits.
It’s convenient.
Do you have other
places with the same area on other floors?
I don’t like the layout here.
The place of Building B is a good option.
It’s a loft with unique decor.
Many startups
favor that place.
You can consider...
Hold on.
You talk to him.
OK.
This place is...
What are you doing?
Wait. What’s wrong?
Stop following me around.
Gao Zifu.
Gao Zifu!
Hi, where are you?
Hi, dear.
I’m so sorry.
My boyfriend’s mom invited me to play mahjong.
It’s urgent.
Are you kidding me?
Others are bros before hoes.
What are you doing?
By the way,
the card today says
your love of life
will show up with a bag of chips.
Watch carefully around you.
Don’t miss him.
Focus, got it?
I won’t waste your time.
Gotta go.
Bye, Shuangshuang.
Hey, I...
Women in love aren’t not only stupid
but also heartless.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
It’s you!
How come a girl like you is so strong?
I felt like being hit by an ox.
Really?
Just so-so.
My mommy is right.
You’re indeed pretty and elegant.
Besides, I like going to the gym.
And
I love playing volleyball with my friends.
I may be too strong for you.
There’s something I need to explain.
Let’s go. Hurry.
Where...where to? What’s wrong?
Let’s go to watch the movie. It’s about to begin.
Let go of me. Let go.
Come on.
Don’t tell me you’re scared.
I...I...I’m not.
I’m focused.
More chips?
Hush.
Why did a man like you
bring so many chips to the cinema?
None of your business.
Chips!
Your love of life
will show up with a bag of chips.
Go to hell, Li Xiaotong!
How dare you curse my love...
Hush.
Tell me if you want chips.
No need to curse.
I don’t like it.
Wait,
how come you sound so manly today?
I have duel personality.
Is that OK?
Awesome!
Why are you walking so fast?
You want to pee?
You’re a girl.
How could you ask a man that question?
We’re besties.
Who’s your bestie?
Let...let go. Let go.
I’m done with you. Psycho!
Is he shy?
So cute.
Wait for me.
What are you doing here?
To see if you’re still alive.
You’ve seen it.
I’m good.
Xu Xinyi,
are you going to be an ostrich forever?
You don’t understand or you just don’t want to?
How am I an ostrich?
Ostrich syndrome
is when people prefer
to stick their heads in the sand
as an ostrich does when in danger.
They assume they’re safe
when they can’t see anything.
Actually, it’s merely self-deception
and escapism.
What ostrich syndrome?
You should be a shrink.
You know, ostriches can run fast.
If they don’t bury their heads in the sand,
They’re fully capable of avoid being captured
and protecting themselves.
People have different lifestyles.
Don’t lecture me with your theories,
OK?
So the life you’re living now
is the one you want?
Can the person you chose
give you the life you want?
Yes.
It’s been a long day.
Go back and rest.
Deceive ourselves
How painful the heart is hurt
How steadfast it gets
For the affection
Though we are hurt by it
We go regardless perils
Miss Yuan,
what can I do for you?
In terms of the invalid plane tickets,
the supplier didn’t place the orders in time
in order to gain the lowest discount,
so they gave us five false numbers.
You know that, don’t you?
About that,
go talk to the person who gave you the assignment.
Why are you here?
I’m responsible for the mistakes occurred,
but the supplier is unhappy, too.
They say they’ve been doing like this the whole time,
and they have your permission.
I’d like to know
how you plan to explain
the supplier’s mistake.
Do you have any proof?
If you have,
feel free to sue me.
Keep that in mind.
I can explain.
It was Bob’s idea.
He even signed the papers.
You mean Bob is behind it.
Do you have any proof?
I already gave him a cut.
Well,
hey,
who gave you the right
to interfere with our department?
As an employee in this company,
it’s my duty to protect the company’s interests and reputation.
Is that wrong?
Didn’t Mr. Ji tell you
not to stick your nose into others’ business?
I didn’t stick my nose into anything.
I’m simply telling the truth backed with facts.
Considering your seniority,
I hope you can step up and take your responsibility.
Am I clear?
Don’t try to throw me under the bus.
You are the one
trying to destroy our reputation
built over a decade.
What else do you want?
Fine. I don’t want anything.
Just go.
Go tell Mr. Ji. Go.
See what he’ll do to me.
Have a seat.
What's up?
Fei,
Don’t tell others
what I’m about to tell you.
Well, Bob
harassed me.
What?
Rumors about
Bob taking advantage of female employees are true?
This isn’t the first time.
I was afraid of losing my job
so I didn’t tell anyone.
But lately, he’s way crossed the line.
Last night, he asked me to work overtime,
and then he...
I didn’t know he was that kind of man.
So shameless!
I’ll call the police.
What are you talking about?
No, don’t.
Yuan Lai,
Bob...
That order worth 20 million
is abolished so easily.
I underestimated you.
You’re still new here,
yet you’ve already made huge changes.
You’re indeed bold.
Mr. Ji,
I don’t think
you are those people who refuse to change.
Since we have the chance to advance further,
why should we stick to the old ways?
Sorry, Mr. Ji,
with all due respect,
are you and the supplier
have special relations?
You must be joking.
You’re so eager to find new suppliers.
Does that mean you have other intentions, too?
You care so much about the company.
I admire that.
But
finding new suppliers
and placing the order worth 20 million
are huge matters.
Who do you think
is the most suitable one
to shoulder such responsibilities?
Since you came up with it,
what do you think?
You know clearly
who is the most suitable person.
Since you came here,
you must’ve got hold of
all information about everyone.
You’re flattering me.
Knowing employees’ talents and abilities
is my responsibility.
Mr. Ji,
I shall take my leave.
Good day.
Does Bob have any shame?
If we don’t get rid of that scum,
he’ll harm more girls.
I don’t have proof.
I fear Bob will retaliate.
I’ll help you with it.
Justice will be served.
Don’t worry.
Why don’t we let it go?
It’s embarrassing.
What are you afraid of?
He’s the guilty one.
If you just let him go,
have you ever considered
how will you continue to live?
He should be punished.
Thank you, Yuan Lai.
I hurt you before,
but you’re still willing to help me.
No need to thank me.
I hate those men
who take advantage of their female staffs.
I still don’t like you.
Get in.
You wanted to see me?
Are you back from Feitu?
I’m beat.
Shoot.
Look at you, you have no manners at all.
Are you still a lawyer?
If all our lawyers
behave like you,
our clients will be gone.
Hey, put your feet down.
What’s wrong with me?
I’m handsome and charming.
I could be a TV star.
The line of my pursuers
can go around the earth three times.
Enough. Knock it off.
You can’t stop bragging
for a day, can you?
A line of pursers?
Where are they?
Let me see.
I have to find you one.
What?
The company has finally agreed
to assign me a sexy secretary?
It’s an intern.
Stop daydreaming.
Don’t want it.
Interns come every year and cause me trouble.
I don’t want to die young.
I want to live as long as possible.
This one is different.
51job.com recommended a graduate from
Department of Law in East University.
Your younger school-sister.
Her family is well off.
Her dad is in e-commerce.
A rich girl?
Not interested at all.
I can’t handle her temper.
I’m already busy with Feitu’s case.
I don’t even have time
for other clients’ cases.
Now, you want me to serve some rich brat?
Forget it.
Wait, wait, hold on.
I haven’t finished.
She’s pretty, too.
I kept her especially for you.
Once you see her,
you won’t be disappointed.
Am I that shallow?
Yes, you are shallow.
She’s waiting in your office.
Hurry up.
Go see her.
Zhengli didn’t lie at all.
A beauty indeed.
Hello, I’m...
It’s you!
Zhao Chengzhi!
The horoscope guide says
today is my lucky day.
Shen Shuangshuang,
I should be the one complaining.
Why can’t you leave me alone?
What are you doing here?
What?
Read this carefully.
Lawyer Zhao Chengzhi.
I own this law firm.
But I saw the name
of the firm is Zhengzhi,
Z-H-E-N-G Z-H-I,
not Chengzhi.
I can’t believe
you could be so stupid.
I’m stupid?
You tell me.
Why are you mad?
Now my mind is a mess
because of you.
My partner’s name is Cheng Zhengli.
Z-H-E-N-G.
My name is Chengzhi.
We set up this Zhengzhi Law Firm
two years ago.
I should ask you why you are here.
Give me mineral water next time.
Drinking too much cola is unhealthy.
Acalcerosis.
You won’t care anyway.
Get out.
Why should I leave?
I posted the resume on 51job.com.
I didn’t know this is your firm.
Then I can help you
transfer to another firm.
Why?
Are you afraid I’ll
leak your secret to your colleagues?
Rest assured. I won’t tell anyone.
Shen Shuangshuang, I’ll say it again.
I’m not.
“I’m not”.
You’re so strange.
You said you were the other day,
now you deny it.
I said I understand it.
Are you brain damaged?
Your brain are damaged. You lunatic!
The door is there, leave!
I won’t leave.
If my dad knows I’m rejected,
he’ll laugh at me.
You can’t kick me out.
I don’t want you.
I don’t mind being followed.
In fact, I’m glad being followed
by such a pretty girl.
Zhao Chengzhi,
if you won’t accept me,
I’ll sit in front of your firm
every day with a loudspeaker and a scroll.
I’ll bore you to death.
I’m not afraid.
Suit yourself.
OK.
Everyone, listen to me,
-Mr. Zhao... -Hush.
What are you looking at? Go back to work.
Fine. You win.
You can work for me
on three conditions.
I’m all ears, master.
Aren’t you sweet?
You call me master so soon.
Of course.
Listen,
first, don’t cause any trouble.
Second, obey all my orders.
Third...
From now on, all heavy labor
is yours.
No problem.
Useless.
OK. No problem.
Mr. Ji, I need to talk to you.
What is it?
It’s OK. Go ahead.
There are no strangers here.
Miss Yuan, you came in a rush.
Is it about the false plane tickets?
As the party involved,
if you don’t mind,
I’d like to hear it.
Shuangshuang, bring me a cup of coffee.
Take this file.
OK.
Where’s Shen Shuangshuang?
Shen Shuangshuang?
I told her to go home.
Why?
She worked hard.
Hey,
she didn’t do anything.
Besides, she isn’t the only intern here.
Others are all working.
How could she go home?
She’s
not used to it.
Hey you,
since when have you started to play favorites?
Tell me.
We practice law.
We should treat all interns equally.
Hey,
just because her family is rich
doesn’t mean you can give her favor.
I can’t believe he did that.
The supplier has admitted that they forgot to place the orders
to pocket the difference.
And Bob gave them permission.
Harassing female employees
is another heinous crime.
OK.
I’m aware of it.
Most importantly,
information like this can’t leak out.
Protecting our company’s reputation
is the priority.
I’m responsible for what happened.
I’ll hand in a report to the board.
Besides, I suggest
those two incidents be thoroughly investigated.
They’ll be handled
according to the bylaws
upon confirmation.
Mr. Ji,
you should know
Bob is the director of the Purchase Department.
No matter how high his position is,
all mistakes
must be punished.
Our company has strict rules
for reward and punishment.
Even if it were me
or you
who made the same mistake,
the punishment would be the same.
OK, Yuan Lai,
you may leave now.
Wait.
Who was the one being harassed?
Mr. Jin,
in order to protect her reputation,
I’m sorry I can’t tell you her name.
So there’s no proof.
In this case,
you want me to fire
the director of the Purchase Department?
The supplier already gave his statement.
As for the harassment,
we can call the police.
How can we be sure
the supplier’s statement is all true?
As for that female employee,
she hasn’t come to see me.
May I assume that
she lied?
Just because of your side of the story,
you want me to punish an employee who’s been
working here for 8 years?
Miss Yuan,
isn’t that above your payroll?
Well,
I think...
Actually,
my guess is
the supplier could’ve
made that up as an excuse to shirk responsibility.
Mr. Jin,
even if the supplier
did lie to dodge the column,
but think about it,
would a girl
risk her reputation to make up such a lie?
Would she?
But to me,
maybe that girl resented her boss
for some misunderstandings,
so she tried to set him up.
A new intern
dare fall out with someone
who has seniority and a high rank?
Does that make sense?
All facts are straight.
I don’t get it.
How could you
confuse right and wrong and twist all facts?
Confuse right and wrong and twist all facts?
Miss Yuan,
you aren’t a newbie.
I hope you can
handle things more maturely.
Alright. Alright.
Miss Yuan is caring about her colleague.
Yuan Lai,
Mr. Jin and I will handle it.
Go back to work.
Now that you’re all here,
there’s no need to hide anything.
This is the
booking information for that tour to Japan,
the order information from the supplier
and orders the airline received.
There are only thirteen names.
The other five names don’t exist at all.
That means the Business Department missed them
and framed us for it.
By the way,
the supplier also said
someone threatened them
so they gave a false statement.
That’s the ultimate truth.
This isn’t the order I placed.
It can’t be the original copy.
You dare to frame me,
now you won’t admit your fault?
I booked tickets for 18 people.
You must’ve forged it.
Here’s the evidence.
Alright.
Miss Yuan,
it is 13 people.
The evidence is solid.
Mr. Ji,
I’ve thought about it.
In terms of that contract you mentioned,
I’m not sure
who we should assign.
Well, Bob’s been here for years
and he gets along well with all suppliers.
Why don’t we
let Bob handle it?
Did you hear it?
It was Yuan Lai
who forgot to place the orders,
yet she framed others for it
and accused others of taking bribes.
She’s so shameless!
Stop talking nonsense.
Yuan Lai isn’t that kind of person.
It’s gone viral in the company.
Everyone knows it.
Enough. Stop it.
It is what it is.
OK. Alright.
I think there’s more to this matter.
Fei,
is this my fault?
I know of the shady deals between
Bob and the suppliers.
He didn’t even bother to hide it from me.
Don’t think too much.
Yuan Lai will be fine.
Those gossipers
have nothing else to do. Don’t mind them.
But I’m scared.
If that incident gets out, what should I do?
I won’t be able to work here anymore.
This is my first job
since graduation.
Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.
What goes around
comes around!
By the way,
who said to fire me?
I’m not fired.
I’m still here.
Remember,
lies will always be lies.
They’ll never become true.
Does that really matter?
What matters is the boss’s opinion.
I’m older than you.
Here’s my advice:
stay away from others’ business,
especially
my business.
What goes around, around
Comes around, around.
It’s only…
