Siu-Tung, I'll catch you later.
Hey... we didn't touch your car.
We don't know why the glasses are smashed.
With Heaven and Earth as my witness,
if you lay a hand on Siu-Tung,
next time, it won't be your car.
He made movies in Foshan.
Those were his lines.
He means don't contact Siu-Tung again.
Come on, let's go.
Why did you smash up his car?
It's illegal!
What if that creep goes to the cops?
Don't use your kung fu again without my consent.
I'm sorry, Miss Chi!
I won't do it again, without your approval.
Don't forget!
Stop! Play from here...
No way! He really didn't touch your car!
Was someone playing with air guns nearby
and they shot the windows?
Rewind and play it again in slow motion.
Fried rice!
Tofu with eggs.
Tai-Kwan, is this how you wait on my friends?
They don't even have chopsticks!
Sorry, Miss Ling! I'll get them right away.
Ladies, chopsticks.
Thanks!
Thank you, sir!
You're so cute!
Thank you!
So muscular!
I touched him!
My turn!
Tai-Kwan, there's a big spot on your uniform.
Look... it's so dirty.
Did you smear it in the kitchen, take it off...
Take it off...
Miss Chi!
Miss Ling is not a guest.
There's a lot to do in the kitchen.
Go give them a hand.
Yes, Miss Chi!
Button up the jacket.
We pay our bill like anyone else.
Shouldn't someone wait on us?
If Tai-Kwan is busy, get Bo.
He's busy too.
Siu-Tung?
He's busy.
Don't treat them like gigolos!
You want someone to wait on you? OK!
Boney, wait on Miss Ling's table.
Enjoy your lunch, everyone.
Miss Ling!
What would you like, ladies?
We're full.
Take a picture with us.
Wait for me to take a selfie.
No, I should go first.
Uncle Tai, why did Siu-Tung leave the kitchen?
Are these students customers?
Those 4 are Siu-tung's fans.
They have been sitting here for hours
and only ordered fried noodles.
I glared at them and they ordered fried rice.
They didn't touch the food
but complained about the taste,
and insisted Siu-Tung come out and explain.
They're man-hungry!
Please conduct yourselves properly.
What has the world come to?
I have to get back to work.
Girls, it's wrong of you to hold up Siu-Tung.
Someone has to work in the kitchen, right?
Get back to work.
Excuse me!
Don't look so disappointed.
You want to show your support?
There are other ways.
Ordering fried noodles and fried rice is not enough.
Let me give you a tip.
From now on, for all celebrations and festivities with your family,
make sure your parents come here.
Siu-Tung and I will be very pleased.
Here's a business card for you...
We're out. See if your Dad has any...
Where is he?
Who are those people?
Reporters from a food magazine.
Your Dad requested some signature dishes for them to take pictures.
Mr. Fong, how did Fung Ming Gui discover Li Siu-Tung?
Siu-Tung is a very gifted chef.
If no one appreciates his talent,
he'd still be Gui the fields at home.
For a miracle to happen,
you need someone who's a good judge
and that's me, Fong Tin.
Tsz-ying, take some pictures for Mr. Fong.
Look over here, Mr. Fong.
Come on...
OK, 1... 2... 3...
Look up! Your tears won't roll down your cheeks.
Bo, you can't forsake food and sleep to browse the internet.
I know you haven't eaten all day.
I made you some pastry.
Thanks!
That starlet is not the Crown Princess
or Xiao Qian, the girl you grew up with.
She's an urbanite who looks exactly like the Crown Princess.
Don't indulge yourself anymore.
I know Miss Wong is not the Crown Princess.
I've been thinking over the last few days,
even if they look alike,
They shouldn't have the same gestures.
I think there's a connection.
I thought you were so keen on gaining new knowledge,
but you were just being pigheaded.
I'm so disappointed in you.
When I was editing the classics at the Hanlin Academy,
I came across a book on Buddhism.
It was about reincarnation.
All things contrived are like
a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow,
as dewdrop or lightning,
They should be regarded as such.
Can you get to the point?
Stop beating around the bush.
Last night, I saw a movie called the Reincarnation of Golden Lotus.
The leading lady died and was reincarnated.
She has forgotten about her previous life,
but she looks the same. I suspect...
What do you suspect?
You suspect the Crown Princess came to a bad end in the forest?
Yes!
You still think Miss Wong is the reincarnation of the Crown Princess?
Yes!
Nonsense! That's ludicrous!
As a minister of the Great Ming,
how can you talk like an alarmist
and curse the Crown Princess?
Heaven will protect the Crown Princess.
We must find her soon and bring her back to the Crown Prince.
We traveled 400 years and came from Foshan to Hong Kong.
We have no word of her whatsoever.
Why can't you accept my assumption?
So what if there has been no word?
You can't say she's dead.
You're not Buddha.
How did you know what happened to her in the fog?
My assumption is not grasping at straws.
We're in Hong Kong, not in the Ming Dynasty.
We have freedom of speech,
you can't convict someone for what they say.
I outrank you,
if you insist the Crown Princess is dead,
you're guilty of insubordination.
You both outrank me,
I'm not as educated,
but I know if we're not united,
the road ahead will be very tough.
Commander Yuan, Minister Zuo, I beg you, please stop arguing.
I promise I won't argue anymore.
Me too. I won't argue either.
We made a pledge, we must love each other.
Ivan...
I was at the TV station and saw Miss Wong.
What we said is in this recording.
If you still want to be Romeo after you listen to it,
I rest my case.
Mr. Chu, I'm not a nobody.
I'm quite a celebrity in this business.
I'm not the one stuck onto your loser son.
Your loser son who won't leave me alone.
Even if I'm no longer the spokesperson for the Dynasty Group,
I have more jobs than I can handle.
Let me give you some advice,
watch that loser son of yours.
Or he's likely to squander away his family fortune.
You finally come downstairs.
I thought you plan to vegetate in your room.
Master Heen!
How many times did I tell you?
I want you to be the heir to the Dynasty Group, not a chef.
Your culinary skills are useless.
Your Mom died when you were little.
I raised two kids alone, moped up in Fung Ming Gui.
That dead beat picked on me all the time.
Luckily I won the lottery,
because you changed 3 numbers on that ticket.
Or else I wouldn't have won the first prize.
Honestly, you're truly my lucky star.
Without you, I won't own the Dynasty Group.
I don't know why, you were such a good son when you were little.
Why have you become increasingly defiant?
You fall for a girl I don't approve of.
You cook when I told you not to.
You want to kill me?
If you don't want the family business,
I can pass it onto Samuel.
Well? Do you want it or not?
I'm going to bed. I have to work tomorrow.
Ivan...
Mrs. Chu, are you OK with the interview?
You can use the pictures, but I want you to change the story.
What would you like us to say?
Fong Tin told you in the interview
the Chairman of the Dynasty Group, Chu Kwok-fung
won the lottery back then
and earned his first pot of gold.
He claimed to have a share in that lottery ticket
because he picked 3 of the winning numbers.
We have a big flat, there's no need to squish together.
You call the shot at Fung Ming Gui
and you have the final word on everything.
The Dynasty Group trying to poach Siu-Tung was a big deal.
Why didn't you tell us about it?
You should have discussed with us.
It's more than you can handle.
I worked out the numbers with Siu-Tung.
You can pretend nothing happened.
Meeting adjourned.
No, sit down and let's settle this.
For Dynasty to poach Siu-Tung,
they must have an excellent offer.
Tell me honestly, how much was it?
Not much, $5M.
The highest paid chef in the Dynasty Group
earns only $2M a year.
Siu-Tung is worth that much?
That's the pay of a management staff.
I'm surprised Samuel Cheuk is so generous.
Wait... management staff should have housing.
There's a flat in the mid-levels.
Our room on the roof won't measure up.
An offer like that for a cook is an overkill
They're not hiring a cook.
They want Siu-Tung to be the Executive Chef of Dynasty Restaurant.
They'll also give him a personal assistant.
Chi, the numbers don't add up.
Good pay, good title, a flat and an assistant,
anyone would seize the offer.
There's no way Siu-Tung would rather live on our roof.
Not everything is about money.
We offer him no money and no prospect.
Siu-Tung maybe simple minded, but he's not stupid.
Did you have a secret deal with Siu-Tung you're not telling us?
You better fess up.
Maybe Siu-Tung is the sentimental type.
Who doesn't he want to make more money?
Chi, are we not family to you?
I got him by the pigtail.
See? I knew it's not that simple.
What do you have on him
that made him give up $5M and stay here?
It's not really a big secret,
but if I told you, you can't repeat it.
Especially not in front of Siu-Tung.
You know how shy he is, right?
Yes!
When we were in Foshan,
Siu-Tung saw a picture in my cell phone.
The picture is the reason he's willing to work for us.
It's a picture of...
Who?
Who was it?
Ling!
What?
I see. Now it makes sense.
We're counting on you to make him stay.
No wonder money can't lure him away.
Siu-Tung is OK. Think about it.
I think Tai-Kwan suits me more.
But for Fung Ming Gui, I'm willing to go along with this charade.
Make sure you act like you didn't know.
Especially you, Ling!
Before Siu-Tung makes a move,
don't do anything reckless.
Let him bury his feelings deep down.
I know. I have more experience than you.
Go to sleep! Good night!
Miss Ling!
What is it?
You never had time for breakfast, it's bad for your health.
I prepared a beef puff for you.
Thanks!
The weather is unsteady and you didn't bring an umbrella.
If it rains after work, don't go anywhere.
Call me and I'll bring you an umbrella.
I have dated other men before,
but none as attentive as you are!
One more thing, Miss Ling...
Stop calling me that, call me Catherine.
Car... the... ring?
Catherine.
Car... full... link? I really can't speak English.
I'll stick to Miss Ling.
Whatever suits you!
You're so cute! Bye!
What's Q?
This is a chance of a lifetime.
Someone is willing to cough up $50M to make a film.
80% of the story is about you.
The whole crew are masters of their trades.
What kind of film is it?
It's a heart rending period drama.
I'm asking you the genre.
Sex & Zen, right? That's a porn film!
That depends on how you look at it.
The director said he'll shoot you from a purely aesthetic angle,
using your body to express pleasure, anger, sorrow and joy.
The body is part of an actress' acting tool. Use it well.
No way. Turn it down.
Turn it down? How many jobs do you have?
You've been in this business for 5 years.
What do you have to show for it?
Any blockbusters? None!
You made a mess with the Dynasty Group.
Do you know how much money they spend on TV each year?
You're not in any TV dramas.
If you turn down this film,
how can I explain to the boss?
Don't forget your contract is good for another 2 years.
I'm well known in this business.
I won the newcomer award.
There must be a job out there for Wong Yi-San other than a porn film.
As of now, we won't waste any resources on you.
Including your housing and other expenses.
I'll cut your assistant too.
Ceci, stop what you're doing. Go help Baby.
What? But Sandy has a...
Who's paying you?
I'll go there myself.
OK! I'm coming.
Yin, I have a location shoot at 11:30.
Help me put these in the car.
Sorry, Sandy! Terry just called.
He wanted to see me and won't let me drive you.
Who lent you money when you can't put food on the table?
Who got you this job?
Sorry!
I don't need you. I'll take a taxi.
Miss Wong!
You again?
I told you I'm not the Crown Princess
and I'm not your friend.
Can you stop showing up?
I didn't mean to disturb you.
I've been thinking and couldn't figure it out
how two unrelated people would look exactly alike.
There's only one possibility.
That's why I need your help to verify something.
I don't have time.
This won't take long.
I really think you're the Crown Princess,
but from the previous life, not this one.
You know the word "reincarnation"?
Is that what you came up with?
You must be out of your mind!
I have done a lot of reading on the subject.
In 1965, a 7-year-old in the U.S.
by the name of Johnson Smith
claimed he was a German pilot in WWII.
He knew everything about that pilot.
Really?
In 1988, a Japanese woman called Nami Kobayashi
claimed to be an 18th century British monk.
Someone looked up this monk's life
and everything matched Nami Kobayashi's claim,
including details known only to the family.
I suspect the Crown Princess was killed in the Ming Dynasty.
You look exactly like her because you're her reincarnated self.
Miss Wong, think carefully.
Have you seen something weird in your dream?
Wearing clothes from ancient times?
Have you dreamt of me, Chonghuan or Jinzhong?
Can you drive?
I have seen Master Uncle drive.
I don't believe it's too difficult.
I asked if you can drive. Yes or no?
Yes!
You'll be my assistant today.
I'm in a hurry.
Put these in the car and take me there.
Use the GPS in your phone.
Drive! I'm in a hurry!
Hey, can you drive or not?
Sorry! Let me try again.
Watch it! Don't put it in reverse again.
Of course!
Don't worry! You said in your previous life
you have nothing to worry about while Zuo Guangdou is around.
Mr. Chu!
I want everyone of manager grade or above to sit in. Hurry!
Ling, this meeting has nothing to do with Marketing.
You're excused.
I read this magazine this morning.
This is related to my family.
I'd like to sit in.
This is a personal grudge between me and your Dad.
I don't want to put you on the spot.
Be a good girl and excuse yourself.
I bought these from nearby convenient stores.
Take a look and tell me what I should do.
Daddy, the reporters made it up to boost circulation.
Uncle Tin has nothing to do with it.
Stop defending that dead beat.
He has nothing to do with me winning the lottery.
He didn't chip in any money.
He had a lot of nerve to tell the magazine he picked 3 of the winning numbers.
Peter, you head up our Legal Department.
I want to sue him for libel.
You can do that, but this interview
did not constitute any monetary loss for you
or any monetary gain for him.
It'll be a waste of time and money.
I don't care. I have both.
I want to sue his pants off.
It's just a 2-page story.
We're family friends
and Uncle Tin took care of us.
Don't blow this small misunderstanding out of proportion.
Get your facts straight, he's the trouble maker.
Why should I put up with him?
Samuel, you said you'll poach that young chef god from Fung Ming Gui.
How is that coming along?
I spoke to Li Siu-Tung
and offered him the best terms among all 33 Executive Chefs within the Group.
But he turned me down.
I'll think of something else.
Even the CEO came back empty handed!
No wonder Fong Tin had the nerve to say something that's not true.
I think there's something fishy about this interview.
Li Siu-Tung is now the talk of the town.
But Fong 'I'm said nothing about him
and chose to talk about the lottery.
Don't you find that rather odd?
Am I right, Mrs. Chu?
Maybe Fong Tin knew we tried to poach his chef.
He was pissed and picked on my husband in front of the reporters.
You're over thinking, Samuel.
We should focus on the young chef god.
If you can't get it done, just say so.
Enough! I want to poach the chef god and we failed.
I want to sue and you won't let me.
OK, if today,
I put up with the dead beats claim that he's entitled to half the winnings,
what if tomorrow he says he's entitled to half of the Dynasty Group?
You're the top management of Dynasty.
Can someone come up with an idea?
If Samuel can't buy the young chef god,
we'll buy something else.
Like what?
Fung Ming Gui.
I know what you're thinking,
I'm just as attached to Fung Ming Gui as you are.
We buy them out to shut Fong Tin up,
so he can't shoot off his mouth.
Nothing has to change at Fung Ming Gui.
Chi will still call the shots.
The only thing that will change is
the Dynasty Group will be their new boss.
Samuel, what do you think?
I agree with Auntie Kiu.
Buying them out is a permanent solution.
Are you sure they want to sell?
Ivan said we're family friends,
we can talk about anything.
I think Ivan should be in charge.
After all, he's on good terms with Chi and her sisters.
The chances are better if he did all the talking.
I don't think we should buy Fung Ming Gui
and I don't want to be in charge.
Ivan, I think your Auntie Kiu is right.
We buy out Fung Ming Gui not to close it down.
We'll even invest money to expand it.
Ivan, I won't let you say no.
I'm putting you in charge.
Don't worry, Ivan! I'll help you.
Consider this a test.
That's right! If you pass this test,
you'll call the shots at Fung Ming Gui.
Kiu, keep an eye on him.
Well? Is Uncle Fung furious?
I called Daddy.
He said the whole thing was fabricated.
I knew it!
I told you nothing will happen.
But Uncle Fung looked like he could kill someone.
Is he going to sue Daddy?
No!
He asked the suppliers to shut us out?
No!
He'll use the media for a rebuttal?
I said no.
It's not the first time Daddy and Uncle Tin got into an argument.
They'll get over it.
Daddy put me in charge and I know what to do.
What will you do?
I'm still thinking.
What?
Then how can you say nothing will happen?
Tell me honestly, are you thinking
of avenging Uncle Fung and shut us down?
Knock it off!
We're in the office. What if someone saw us?
I'm still your boss.
I swear to you, there'll be a happy ending.
If anyone messes with Fung Ming Gui,
I'll write Chu Ka-heen upside down.
Miss Wong!
What kind of film are you shooting?
Your costumes have so little fabric!
The first rule of being an assistant is don't ask any questions.
Can you see Baby over there?
She's younger, but I think I'm prettier.
Beauty is only skin deep, what's inside is all that matters.
I'm asking you which one of us is prettier.
You're pretty if you have a kind heart.
Who's pettier?
Do you have to think?
Sandy, are you ready?
OK, I'll be right there.
Think no more, go to the coffee shop on the next block
and get me a cup of cappuccino.
Can you repeat that?
Cappuccino,
I want to see it after I finish this shot.
Cap... puc... cino, don't worry!
I won't let you down.
Hello, Sandy! I just spoke to the director.
We need to trouble you in the next shot.
I'll go freshen up. Thank you!
Was there an extra shot?
Baby had to do a tough action sequence.
She said she couldn't do it.
I'm pointing the camera at you.
The preparation for this commercial is rather confusing.
You added someone to the cast
and the leading character becomes a supporting character.
And now there's an additional action shot.
I can't keep up if things keep changing.
The advertiser wanted to put Baby in the commercial.
Sandy, if you can't keep up.
I won't force you.
I'll get someone else.
Wait... that's not what I mean.
I'm asking questions to be sure.
I'm always good for my word.
I will deliver what I promise.
Should I cancel that shot or not?
No. I'll do it.
Cap... puc... cino... Sorry!
It's OK. Where's the car park?
Ka... pak. Sorry, I don't know what it is.
It's OK, never mind.
Ka... he bumped the word out of my mind!
Hello?
Miss Wong, I forgot what you said...
Sandy is busy right now.
She's getting ready for a shot in the water.
Can you call back in an hour?
Hello? Miss Wong is in the water?
Xiao Qian!
Guangdou!
Are you alright?
I told you don't go near the river.
You can't swim, you could have died.
I'm sorry. The handkerchief you gave me was blown into the river.
I couldn't get it back.
I'll get you another one tomorrow.
If I'm not with you, don't go near the river again.
Don't just stand there! Go get help! Go!
Step aside! Miss Wong, I'll rescue you.
Stay back! What are you doing?
Don't worry! Here I come!
Don't come near me!
Don't be scared!
Go away! No...
Master Tin, why did you buy us new clothes?
Clothes make the man.
You represent Fung Ming Gui,
I don't mind spending a bit money.
Other than Fung Ming Gui and our room on the roof,
we don't have anywhere else to go.
I'm afraid your effort will be wasted.
We're like family, nothing is wasted on you.
You make something special for Ling for breakfast.
You seem to take special care of her.
It's Siu-tung's job to prepare your meals.
Siu-Tung, do you like Ling?
I wouldn't dare. Miss Ling is a lady,
I dare not harbor any improper thoughts.
Come on, think carefully.
If it's not right, we won't force you.
We already treat you like family.
It'll be great if we can really become family.
I appreciate your kindness.
I only want to spend the next 3 years
to build up Fung Ming Gui's reputation.
I won't think of anything else.
Siu-Tung and I are from the countryside.
We should choose someone with the same social status.
Siu-Tung is not worthy of Miss Ling.
Say hello to Brother Tai-Kwan.
Brother Tai-Kwan!
What can I do for you?
The Chief told us to pick you up.
I promised Miss Chi not to fraternize with the Chung Ching Society.
Please apologize to Brother Leopard for me.
We're not meant to be friends,
he shouldn't try to force my hand.
Don't blame me if you won't leave me alone.
The Chief wants to talk to you.
Brother Leopard? Is that so?
Very well. I'll be right over.
Go on back to Fung Ming Gui,
I had something to do.
Don't go with them.
Bo always said we should be smart and play safe.
Siu-Tung, I must put an end to this.
Don't worry, go back to Fung Ming Gui.
Master Tin, Master Uncle, I must go now.
Tai-Kwan...
Will Tai-Kwan be in any danger?
Should we call the Police?
No, let me call Chi and ask her what we should do.
Hello, Chi? We got trouble.
Tai-Kwan just left with the triad. What now?
Miss Wong, I thought the shoot will last till dusk.
The director said no need.
Where do you want to go?
Take me home.
Pick up the phone, Yuan Chonghuan!
Did something happen to him?
You asked me just now which one of you is prettier.
I can tell you now, I think you are.
