Course 10: A 99 Dollar Steak That Doesn't Speak What's In It's Heart.
I pretended to be your fiancee
cooperate with your acts everywhere
but you restrict my actions all the time.
and now you even forbid me to look at other people.
Don't you think you are too unreasonable?
You just can't!
You're too unreasonable! I want to have a duel with you!
I can never agree to
this undermining and unreasonable request.
Fine, as long as you beat me, I will let you go.
Here I come!
How is it? Who's letting go of who now?
Turtle girl,
what are you fantasizing about?
It's very hot.
What is this?
What are you doing?
Since you feel that you've been treated unfairly,
then I will fully make it up to you today.
Did you take the wrong medication?
Why are you so tender all of a sudden?
Didn't you say I owe you a steak meal?
Then, let's eat steak.
Oh, so you've found your conscience...
You're suddenly treating me so well.
I've never seen a
turtle that loves to eat and fuss so much.
I knew you wouldn't be this nice.
Impostor fiancee... I have finally caught you.
Is that a "Safe Kiss"?
It looks like she really didn't want to kiss Ah Zhe.
I'm going to test to see if that's its use.
We're not there yet. Why did you stop the car all of a sudden?
Cheng Xiao Shi, do you feel
very regretful
for not kissing Ah Zhe today?
Regretful?
Yeah. It's because of you that the kiss didn't happen.
What kind of fan is this?
If you don't have common sense, watch more TV okay?
Yet you call yourself an idol.
Haven't you seen a "Safe Kiss"?
It's used like this.
Laugh away.
You really are a loyal fiance.
Me?
Yeah.
I didn't do it for you.
It was because I needed to protect myself, okay?
Kissing Senior Ah Zhe before dating
is really weird.
Alright. I can't be bothered by you.
I'm going to listen to music
Oh heavens! Look..
It's really He Qun.
He Qun. It's really him.
He's so handsome in person.
We definitely have to ask him for an autograph in a bit.
I really don't dare
to believe that a big celebrity would also come to this kind of place.
Yeah.
Aren't you proud?
Stop thinking that
the whole world is watching you, okay?
Here.
Uncle Wang.
Are there any specials today?
There is, today's is Corn Soup.
The soup has a lot of corn.
I also put a few extra tomatoes in your salads.
You're really great, Uncle Wang.
Okay okay, you two enjoy the food.
This is all that's included in the $99 meal?
Yeah, don't you know?
Here, the steak is here.
It's hot, be careful.
Thanks!
This is the $99 top quality steak.
Don't assume its not good food because its cheap.
Once you eat it, you will know that in its simplicity it is also delicious.
In its simplicity, it is also delicious?
How is it? I was right, huh?
It really is a $99 steak.
Whatever kind of person you are, you eat whatever kind of steak..
What do you mean?
What I mean is,
you really shouldn't eat too many steaks.
Otherwise, you will become stubborn.
Becoming a cow is always better than becoming a duck.
Haven't you heard of dead ducks with firm mouths? (refusing to admit.)
So, you normally love to eat duck
so you know that eating ducks a lot will make you have a firm mouth.
Not me! I was obviously talking about you!
It should be you.
I also heard, that
if a girl likes a guy
she will start to help him save money.
I offered you to eat a $1800 steak,
yet you don't eat it
and you bring me to eat this kind of $99 steak.
You're helping me save money
because you've fallen for me.
I offered you to eat a $1800 steak
yet you don't eat it.
and you bring me to this kind of $99 steak.
You're helping me save money
because you have fallen for me.
Don't be silly, okay?
A $1800 steak..
It's just that I want to divide it up 18 times to eat.
so I get more out of it.
Haven't you heard
of the most popular interest-free installment payment plans these days?
Do you understand?
I understand.
What you mean is
you want to eat steak with me 18 times.
You're obviously
deliberately looking for a chance to get close to me.
Looking for a chance to see me, right?
She's mad!
Stop pushing!
Don't push!
Great!
Thank goodness for this "Safe Kiss"
Great!
I'm full.
At school today, thank you
or I would've lost my first kiss.
First kiss?
I remember,
that the time that we first bumped into each other
you also said that.
That was because I wasn't careful so I fell down.
It was an accident so it doesn't count.
An accident..
How about last time at school,
when we were in front of Ah Zhe and Rita?
It also doesn't count?
It was because you were saving me
so it doesn't count either.
I'll take you home.
Thank you.
(Mom)
Hello, mom?
Hello, darling.
Please come home today, alright?
What happened?
Why do you suddenly want me to come home?
Last night, your father's asthma acted up.
Dad's asthma?
I thought dad hasn't had an attack for two years?
How come he suddenly had an attack?
The doctor said it's probably because he was too busy
and had too much stress
so his immune system became weak and had an attack.
How is Dad's condition now?
He tossed and turned in bed all night
and only fell asleep at daybreak.
Alright, I understand.
Okay then.
Okay, let's talk again when you come back.
Bye.
Sorry. I have something urgent to take care of.
Please go home yourself.
He Qun.
Is your dad sick?
I'll go with you to see him.
No need.
You don't have any relation with him.
That's right.
Just let me keep you company.
Let's go.
Oh please, I'm just your fake fiance.
There is no reason for you to be this nosy.
I pretended to be your fiance
and went along with the act,.
First, you restrict my every action and now
you are not even letting me
look at other guys. Don't you think you are going over the line?
I just won't let you.
Let's go straight to the point, what do you want?
Me?
Us press, only
want the truth.
The truth?
You..you
you want the truth?
Fang Zong Bian, you are a wise person.
If I give you the truth today,
this story needs to come to an end.
What is exciting about that?
To me, it looks like what you want
is a never ending news topic.
VINCENT,
you sure are smart.
No wonder, He Qun
could have gotten so far.
Okay,
how do you want me to take care of it?
It's really easy,
the couple fights and almost broke up.
Vincent
I was just going to praise you.
This fake marriage,
fake marriage successfully.
The whole nation is being played by your trick.
What?
Now with such a blind rhetoric
you want me to use that as tomorrow's headlines?
Don't try to spin my words,
I won't tell you anything.
You won't?
Okay.
When the article hits the news,
we can talk again.
If you dare to publish it,
I will promise you that
you will never get He Qun and FREEDOM's news ever again.
You are threatening me with this?
Don't say it like that.
You were the first one to take some photos
and a recording to threaten me.
I am just returning the favor,
treating the person with what lays inside of him.
Since we were not able to reach a consensus,
Then, I can only ask you
to wake up early tomorrow and buy the paper.
Looks like these few photos
should be given to me as a souvenir,
because this news article
will be that last news about He Qun and Freedom.
Soon, He Qun and Freedom's news
will be missing from your newspaper.
After tomorrow's story,
He Qun will turn into
a worthless celebrity.
Even though he won't be part of my newspaper,
for me, there won't be any harm.
Wait for me in the car.
Hello, I need a medication for asthma.
Wait a moment.
Thank you.
I am sorry,
but this is for long-term effects.
My dad has acute attacks.
The kind he needs is
for short-term attacks.
Also, I would like medication for Leukotriene.
Sorry to trouble you.
You seem very experienced with asthma.
Thank you.
Master, you're back?
Hello, little madame.
Did you also come her to see Lao Ye (He Qun's dad).
Because we heard his health is-
We were just passing by
so...
we were near by so we came to visit.
Lao Ye is already a lot better.
His asthma attacks are finally under control.
Heart beat and breathing are very normal.
He is now upstairs resting.
In order to take care of Lao Ye, Madame
didn't sleep for a whole night.
Only just now did she go up to rest.
So you can now go up to see your dad.
Thank you Ling Jie. You can go do your other work now.
Obviously you car about Lao Ye,
especially coming back to see him.
And still you are saying "we were just passing by."
Ah Zhe,
when will you come back?
Dad hasn't seen you for so long.
Are doing well?
Ah Zhe,
why did you
leave the family just because your brother caused Xiao Rong to die?
Did you know that really hurts your father's heart?
Yesterday, your dad's asthma attacks occurred again,
I immediately thought of you.
Because you are always the first
to buy me medicine.
Bring the medicine to your father.
Go give the medicine to your dad.
Who is it?
Ah Zhe,
Ah Zhe, is it you who came back?
Only you know
when dad needs you the most.
Finally, I did not love you for nothing.
Not bad, your skills must be inherited by your father.
I am good, right?
Ah Zhe
Ah Zhe, be careful.
He Qun, be careful you will fall like that.
Be careful.
Are you alright?
Get up.
He Qun, didn't I warn you that you will fall.
Why didn't you listen?
Come on, continue.
Jia You!
It seems like Ah Zhe resembles me more.
Come Ah Zhe,
Can you pass this challenge of mine?
Dad, what you are doing is considered a foul.
Are you alright?
Have you ever seen a turtle dance?
Small turlte (x2)
is dancing (x2)
because He Qun is feeling sad (x2)
Smile a little.
What are you doing?
You look really funny like that.
You smiled!
Can you be more stupid?
You look so funny,
who won't laugh when they see it.
Be more serious,
I wanted to encourage you
and get your feelings together,
not be teased by you.
But it's really too funny.
Vincent
Come back to the company now,
I have something urgent to talk to you about.
Okay, I'm coming back right now.
You have something again?
Vincent, said that something urgent came up,
so I must go back.
So, you have to go home by yourself.
What? Are you scared I am going to get lost?
Don't always take me
as an idiot.
I can get home myself.
Okay, then I am leaving.
Turtle girl,
What?
Be careful on your way, don't get on the wrong bus.
Okay.
Be careful? Don't take the wrong bus?
Stupid He Qun, he actually is worried about me.
He Qun, what's wrong with you these days?
You have been secretly photographed again and you can't compose a song for your concert.
Don't you know that it's not
just your concert and that your problems
might cause us to face
huge amounts of costly damages?
He Qun, we are your members,
what you want to do, we will always support you
but this concert
is something Vincent and we
spent much effort to obtain.
So this time we definitely must
find some way to keep this concert.
He Qun, I'm telling you
if you keep on running into trouble
I won't be able to help anymore.
Enough!
Do you guys think I want this to happen?
Did I want to
purposely make Cheng Xiao Shi my fiance?
Having to live with
lying about this, do
you guys know how it feels?
These days,
I feel like I've already lost my freedom.
Lost myself.
Did you just find out today
what your job is?!
The only reason why you,
today at this time have the success you have now is
all because you exchanged your freedom for this position.
You can't possibly not know, what is wrong with you?
If you want to keep your freedom
or keep the so-called damn self
then you shouldn't have became an entertainer, okay?
What you said is all correct.
I really do not suit being entertainer.
What are we doing?
Just because of a news article
just because of a news article?
Okay,
everyone listen to me.
If the fake engagement ends up on tomorrow's newspaper,
it would inevitably cause an uproar.
The image you guys worked so hard to achieve will be ruined.
But,
thankfully we have an
autograph signing tomorrow.
So at this autograph signing,
we will all say
He Qun, in order to prepare for his concert,
rushing to create Freedom's new cover song,
was under too much pressure.
Thus, it created a heated argument with Chen Xiao Shi.
A lover's quarrel, as simple as that.
No problem, we will accompany this act.
So He Qun,
please make sure to bring
Chen Xiao Shi to tomorrow's event
and publicly declare your relationship with one another is still good.
That will help get rid of the article.
I understand.
I will first call Chen Xiao Shi,
let her prepare.
Vincent, wait a moment,
don't tell her about the photos secretly taken.
Why not?
Because Cheng Xiao Shi is really innocent,
I don't want to scare her or make her worry
Hello? He Qun?
Hello? Xiao Shi?
What were you talking about that was making me scared
and making me worried?
Umm, you heard wrong.
I...I was saying...umm
did you get lost and
if you got scared on the way by a dog?
Oh, so you care about me?
This is really miraculous.
I am not caring for you,
I am just saying that
you are a little dumb and
if you got on the wrong bus
and got lost in a big crowd,
to find a dumb turtle would be extremely hard.
You are saying I'm dumb again?
Saying someone else is dumb,
the person is the dumbest person.
I'm telling you,
the dumbest thing I did is
promising to be your fake fiance.
What, you have nothing to say now?
Nothing, its okay if you have arrived home safely already.
Bye.
Caring about someone and also saying they are dumb,
That is really baffling.
Xiao Shi is back!
Xiao Shi, you're back?
Qian Hui,
Sorry, my fiance
can't be touched by others.
Xiao Shi,
we saw the broadcast just now.
He Qun's "Hero Saving the Beauty" was
so romantic!
My Xiao Shi,
I think today, He Qun is
really outstanding,
protecting your first kiss.
To have this son-in-law makes your mom really proud.
Mom, how does Xiao Shi still have her first kiss?
It's true, just ask her.
ask her
Everyone saw it.
When?
What do you mean 'when'?
The superstar kissing secret lover on the streets,
that kiss,
which exposed your relationship with He Qun.
That doesn't count,
that was from accidentally falling
so we touched lips.
Falling? By accident?
Then, I also want to fall by accident.
This is truly a moral degeneration.
How can a man and woman kssing around
make you guys this happy?
I'm telling you guys,
Xiao Shi and He Qun's relationship
is very innocent.
They absolutely are not kissing
here and there.
I definitely believe Xiao Shi.
Yea, only dad understands me.
We really never kissed.
Come, come come.
Grandpa today specially
made a new pasta for my good granddaughter,
Angel's Kiss.
Sit, sit sit.
Xiao Shi,
kissing with someone you like
is the same as the taste of this pasta.
A faint fragrant flavor,
that is not mixed with any other type of taste.
It is called simplicity.
Grandpa, it sure does smell good.
Then, quickly give it a try!
See if you can feel the
wonderful kiss.
Xiao Shi, do you know mom's wonderful kiss?
It is when
two people's lip connect,
causing an increase in heart rate,
beating like this
And then, all the blood in your body will start to boil,
causing each other to melt in one another's arms.
Wake up.
Xiao Shi, you felt it right?
Too magical!
Grandpa, I also want it.
What do you want? Having me is enough.
Don't hide.
Cheng Ming,
don't even know your manners, look at this.
I am going to go brush my teeth.
Hubby, why did you slam your hand on my head?
Grandpa, I also want to eat this.
You also want to eat?
Then you should let me hold a great-grandchild, okay?
"He Qun's Plagiarizes Brother's Competitions"
"A Standard Pop Idol Who Has No Talent"
Bad news!
Qian Hui, what's wrong with you?
Stop.
Qian Hui,
Early in the morning,
why are you screaming like this?
Look you guys,
"He Qun Plagiarizes Brother's Competition"
"A Standard Pop Idol With No Talent"
It's like I said.
This He Qun is
just like his careless and irresponsible father.
I have never heard
of a crow that could give a birth to a phoenix.
What's wrong? Lie Jie,
hurry up and get the medicine.
Okay. No need.
I am not that weak.
Lin Jie, phone He Qun.
Hurry up!
Okay.
Okay calm down.
If there is a problem take it slow, don't get too overwhelmed.
Hello? Young Master?
Your father needs to talk to you.
Be careful.
Master.
He Qun, listen clearly.
Back then, Ah Zhe left the family because of you.
And then today, the news that came out.
Right now find him immediately.
Tell me everything clearly in person.
Everything about the news that just came out.
Your dad saw the news today?
Why didn't you tell him right away?
"Tears of Polaris" was originally
both Ah Zhe's and your creation.
It doesn't matter.
In his view,
I am just a naughty kid.
Just like when he got sick.
He thought the one who bought the medicine was Ah Zhe, not me.
You and your father have never complimented each other.
Having him forgive you
will not happen in one or two days.
He Qun, I have an idea.
Since this song
is composed by both you and your brother,
then use it as a promotion for the concert.
Who said that the song will be released?
Of course that the good songs have to be released!
Or are you going to give it to
He Qun, this time the concert,
must have the songs you have composed.
But till now
you still aren't able to write a single composition.
Why can't you use this to promote?
Since you have a song, why can't you use it?
Don't forget, there are fans
who bought more than half of the concert tickets.
Don't you feel sorry for them?
You wanted a chance to compose and I gave it to you.
But what are you returning to me is just a blank sheet of paper.
I will definitely give you a song.
But as for "Tears of Polaris",
no one can touch it.
Okay, okay
Don't make me break the contract and have to pay the money for compensation.
You're the one in charge.
Where are you going?
I'm still a student. Of course I'm going to school.
Even after this kind of news came out,
what are you still attending class for?
Then do you want me to stay home and hide from the truth,
and let the rumor grow bigger and bigger.
This doesn't seem like your personality one bit,
Vincent
Okay, okay
You go to your school
but remember
this afternoon's 2 o'clock concert.
We need to use
this fan meeting to clear the rumors.
Bring Cheng Xiao Shi, I will pick you up.
-Bye -I understand.
Hello?
Who is it?
Secretary Lee. How are you?
Minister's Secretary
Mr. Lee Da Tong
Of course I remember.
I have already prepared all 300 concert tickets.
Right.
Plagiarizing?
No, there's no such thing.
Don't worry, I will take care of it.
Later, I will send someone to give you the tickets.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
That Minister sure is weird.
On one hand, he makes a great show about
wanting He Qun to leave the entertainment industry.
And on the other,
he gets his personal secretary to buy 300 tickets.
Politicians. I just don't understand them.
So they fought because He Qun plagiarized Ah Zhe's song.
Yeah, and before I always supported him, too.
And to think that those songs were pretty touching.
But I don't really believe that this is possible.
He Qun doesn't seem like
the type of person who would do such a thing.
Please, the newspaper printed it too big.
Xiao Shi.
People who oppose He Qun and people who support him,
are fighting.
You have to be careful.
Listen up, classmates.
He Qun was just pretending to be cool in front of us
by putting up a talent front.
All of it was fake.
The first time the media reported
that this composition was copied,
I supported him strongly.
I never thought that he would actually do something like this.
What idol is he?
He is so shameless just because he's famous.
Don't you know there's a lot of gossip reports that exaggerate the story?
This might not be real.
That's right!
He Qun is our idol.
We have always supported him.
Why are you all being tricked
by this false news article?
You guys, am I right?
We will not support him!
We will support him!
Yeah, we will!
We shouldn't support him!
He's not worth it!
He Qun, don't worry.
We support you.
Yeah, I support you.
Good morning, Class.
Good morning, Teacher.
Everyone,
take out your lecture notes.
In our previous class,
we talked about rumors and how harmful they can be.
Media-Centered
and Audience-Centered rumors
are our main focus points.
Let's talk about
media-centered first.
It was mostly between
1920 to 1960 that...
(He Qun lied to his fans. What kind of idol is he?)
(It makes me want to throw up)
(He Qun's actual name should be "Impervious Nonsense")
(He Qun, keep going!)
(He Qun, don't give up! We believe in you!)
(Get lost, He Qun!)
(Fake idol, real liar!)
What are you writing?
So, which research aspects does this best represent?
- I just realized that during these past few days, -
- I don't know a thing about He Qun. -
- Why is it when everyone -
- is making such a ruckus and gossiping about him -
- he can still remain so calm? -
(Just smile, and there's nothing you can't overcome!)
Okay, today's class ends here.
Remember to go home and study.
Okay.
Thank you teacher, goodbye.
Bye.
Do you need something?
There is a fan meeting this afternoon.
I need you to come.
You need me to come again?
Let's go
What are you doing?
I can go by myself.
Every time you drag me, it's like you're dragging a little dog.
Then move faster, Turtle Girl.
I'm going now.
It's not like we're rushing to be reincarnated.
Why are you walking so fast?
Vincent will be here soon.
Senior Ah Zhe!
You guys don't have a class right?
Come with me to Underground Club to practice our new song.
Dad wants you to come home.
Don't use dad as an excuse.
If you weren't apart of that family
I would've gone home a long time ago.
Okay.
Right now, I'm no longer apart of that family.
You can go home now.
Even if I were to return,
I wouldn't return with you.
Don't try to use
this chance to convince me
to go home with you, and help you clarify the recent news with dad.
I'm telling you, I can't do it.
I can't do anything about the way you think,
but you know best that
"Tears from Polaris"
was created by all of us that year.
And then what?
What is the point of saying that right now?
At the competition when you sang that song,
you told me you're going to prove that you haven't changed.
So "Tears from Polaris"
was created by both of them.
That's not possible, since it has nothing to do with me.
Ah Zhe
It doesn't matter if he changed or not, or if he wants to start over.
Family is family.
That's something you can never change.
Why do you have to be so absolute
in declaring that you want nothing to do with He Qun?
You have to be careful.
Hate can scare away happiness.
Cheng Xiao Shi,
you shouldn't be acting like mediator,
because you don't know anything.
I admit that I don't know what happened between them,
but I have an older brother too.
I fight with my brother too.
Althought, after every fight
we can return back to normal,
it feels as if I have a rain cloud hanging over my head
and it's really uncomfortable.
Family is family.
He and I also have family love for each other.
This is something that we will never be able to get rid of.
Since you guys are family,
you shouldn't hold grudges
against each other forever.
That's you, not them.
Even if you are He Qun's fiance,
it doesn't mean you have the right
to interfere in their problems.
Cheng Xiao Shi,
don't think you're always right, okay?
Do you believe that,
by acting like this you will solve the problem?
It's not that I think I'm always right.
I just think that if you can be happy,
why must you choose to be in pain?
Yeah.
That's why you're chasing after your own happiness,
and putting your pain onto other people.
That's enough.
Liang Liang, don't say anymore.
There's no reason to fight with Xiao Shi.
He Qun!
Come on, it is almost time to go.
Xiao Shi, come along.
Ah Zhe?
I heard "Tears from Polaris"
was created by you and He Qun together.
Wow, I
am gaining more and more interest in you.
You...
are you ready to join my agency?
