Episode 19
You're still working?
I set a lot of work aside to shop with you in the day.
You're working overtime for this?
Chief Yan.
I'm an intern.
An intern does whatever he or she is told to do.
Li Huan Zhang?
He's going to the wedding too?
You know him?
He's one of the most famous nutritionists in China.
The last time my TV station tried to interview him,
we couldn't even contact him.
Then you should meet him this time round.
Can I?
Yes.
Okay.
Qiao Yi.
You said that...
you came to Beijing for your new goal.
What is it?
I was just saying.
I just wanted to pass the interview.
Everyone came to Beijing.
I was alone in Nanchuan.
Of course I should come and broaden my horizons too.
You don't have plans?
You had such a good job in the TV station...
and you quit just like that?
At this rate, you'll become as naggy as my dad.
If I were your dad, I'd be so angry with you.
Chief Yan.
Can you give me a ride again tomorrow?
No.
He believes it, right?
I can't believe I did this.
I woke up at 6 am and drove across half of Beijing...
just to give her a ride.
I'm not her dad.
This is none of my business.
The last train has left.
How's she going to go home?
There's no need to worry about her.
She'll find a way.
What if the taxi is too expensive to her?
She makes so little every month.
She deserves this.
She asked for it.
I'll give her an increment next month.
Yan Mo.
As the superior,
it's perfectly normal to give your subordinate a ride.
It's justifiable.
Why are you back?
I forgot something.
Just give me a minute.
I'll give you a lift.
That'll be RMB 100.
That's so expensive.
He parked here for 10 hours.
I thought you left and came back.
He's old and forgetful.
No way.
The parking fee is calculated by a machine.
Go.
Qiao Yi, do you know?
Guan Chao begged me to go to his junior's wedding with him.
I slammed the door in his face.
Good job.
You know what.
He uses me as his excuse every time he wants a breakup.
I wish I can strangle him to death.
Right.
Let him go to The Paris Hotel alone to attend that...
wedding where the groom is 30 years older than the bride.
The Paris Hotel?
The groom is 30 years older than the bride?
Isn't that the wedding of Old Mr. Cheng Yan Mo is attending?
Who's that Old Mr. Cheng?
Our company's biggest investor.
Fei Da Chuan put in a lot of effort to convince Yan Mo to go.
That's why Yan Mo asked me to help him shop for clothes.
Da Chuan even asked me to go as Yan Mo's partner.
That's a surprising coincidence.
You're going too?
I shouldn't have turned Guan Chao down.
Let's go together.
Okay. See you on Sunday.
I need to hang up.
Someone left it in front of our door.
There's your name on it.
-Thank you. -Don't mention it.
Hello.
I received the dress.
I like it very much.
Thank you.
If that's all, I'm hanging up.
Qiao Yi.
I'm working on the invoice.
We have year-end bonus for last year...
that'll be issued this year.
Give me your card number.
For real?
What's with my luck today?
All the good things are happening to me.
After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that...
it's too inhumane to let you face your ex-girlfriend alone.
I'll reluctantly go with you.
You're dressed to the nines...
and you're telling me that you're reluctant to go?
Your heels...
are too high.
I bought them just for this event.
I'm afraid it's a waste of your effort.
The hospital just called. There's an emergency...
and I need to go back immediately.
As for my junior,
just let her hold on to those feelings.
I spent so much time to dress up!
You're such a good buddy.
I'll treat you to hot pot someday.
-Goodbye. -Yes, Wednesday.
I'm the one to decide the time!
Welcome.
Hi. I came a few days ago with my friend.
You came with Hao Wu Yi, right?
Are you back for that pair of shoes?
Yes. Size 37.
I'm sorry.
Someone just bought it.
It's out of stock even in our other outlets.
Do you want to try Size 36.5?
Okay.
A minute please.
Hello. Dad.
You haven't found your sister?
I haven't found her.
I bet you're not looking properly!
I...
It's not my fault.
I looked for her all day and night.
I called her school at least 10 times a day.
But You Mei...
What can I do if she is deliberately avoiding me?
There's nothing I can do about it.
You've never done things right once...
-and it's not your fault? -But...
Hello. Dad.
Wait. Hello.
Dad.
Cheng Ye.
My dear, where are you?
My dear.
I tried so hard to groom up...
and look drop dead gorgeous.
Yet, I don't get to make an appearance now.
Guan Chao left for the hospital to save lives.
We can't go to the wedding.
I was hoping...
for Guan Chao to introduce me to Prof. Li.
Who's Prof. Li?
He's a famous Chinese nutritionist.
That Prof. Li?
Guan Chao knows a famous figure like him?
I need to hang up. Yan Mo is here.
Li Huan Zhang isn't coming.
He didn't board his flight...
or check-in at the hotel.
Are we still going to the wedding?
Yes.
After all, it's our investor's wedding.
I promised Da Chuan to go.
Mo Mo.
Qiao Yi.
Your make-up is smudging.
Go and touch it up.
Mo Mo.
The corporation's new executive director...
and the wedding's guest of honor...
is a person I know.
But, you know her better.
Yes, Wednesday.
I'm the one to decide the time!
Are you back for that pair of shoes?
Yes. Size 37.
I'm sorry.
Someone just bought it.
Do you want to try Size 36.5?
Okay.
Let's go. We're not going to the wedding anymore.
Hi, Frank.
Long time no see.
Why are you back?
My dad promised to let me stay.
Next week, the BOD will send someone to your company.
I'll report to work next week.
Alright.
Yan Mo.
Da Chuan is looking for you.
You're friends with him?
My name is Cheng You Mei.
I'm Yan Mo's fiancee.
You can call me Alicia.
Who's Alicia?
Nice to meet you.
My name is Zhao Qiao Yi.
Wei Min.
Let's eat.
I'll wait a little longer.
It's still early.
I think she'll be here soon.
You actually leave your door open?
You're finally here.
Beijing Morning Post.
Beijing Evening News.
Beijing Youth Daily.
The Beijing News.
Why do you read Beijing's newspapers?
Both of our children are in Beijing.
That's why we're concerned.
Your children are so successful.
Thank you.
Okay. See you.
-Goodbye. -Do you want to grab a bite?
Thank you.
Okay. See you.
Let's talk.
When are you going to tell Cheng You Mei to leave?
I thought you were okay with this.
I didn't know it'd be her.
Cheng You Mei is qualified.
So, you're taking sides with your fiancee now?
What about our dear Qiao Yi?
I repeat.
She's not my fiancee.
And since when is Qiao Yi yours?
When are you going to move out of my house?
I...
They just completed the tile installation.
Now they're changing the wallpaper.
That'll take one month or two.
Get in! We're going to be late!
Why didn't you knock?
I... I did knock.
If I didn't hear it, you didn't knock.
Before I confirm that you're qualified to join the Marketing Department,
you'll be my assistant.
Your only job is to follow my instructions.
Do you understand?
I must have a cup of coffee first thing every morning.
-Hello. -Hello. I'd like to have...
one low caffeine caramel macchiato with skimmed milk foam,
half sugar, less ice and raspberry syrup. Thank you.
Venti.
I have low blood sugar.
I drink Lan Fong Yuen's brown sugar milk tea every day.
I'm really sorry. We're only open from 10.30 am.
Can you make one for me? I'm in a hurry.
Just one.
Please. Can you make one for me?
Okay. Please wait.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Hello. I've bought it.
I'll go back immediately.
I don't feel like drinking it anymore.
Go to Celine at Shin Kong Place and collect my shirt for me.
Alright. Right away.
I'd like to cancel the order. Thank you.
I want a comparison chart for all smartphones in the market.
Now?
Hand it to me tomorrow morning.
Mom.
I just want to ask a question.
Why is the Internet cut off all of a sudden?
It's probably a connection problem.
Pull off the Internet cable...
and plug it in again.
Your dad must have...
used up all of our Internet quota.
These days,
he shops online every day.
Mom, this has nothing to do with that.
If reconnecting doesn't work,
get someone to fix it tomorrow.
You're still working?
I'm working overtime.
Again?
Why is your boss working you so hard?
Maybe she loves me.
Let me tell you something.
A programmer in Beijing...
worked without going home for a few days in a row...
and died a sudden death the day he went home.
Don't take this lightly.
You need to take good care of your body.
Mom.
Who told you that?
Whatever it is, you must sleep and eat properly.
By the way, it's going to rain in Beijing tomorrow.
The temperature is 15-20 degree celsius.
Remember to bring an umbrella.
The weather forecast is always wrong.
I brought an umbrella today and never got to use it.
Just bring one.
You're in Beijing,
not at home.
If it rains here,
I can deliver an umbrella to you.
Who's going to deliver an umbrella to you in Beijing?
Okay. I get it.
I'm hanging up. Bye bye.
Qiao Yi.
Alicia wants you to water her plants for her.
Alright.
Somehow, I feel like...
Qiao Yi is going to have a rough time.
Think about it.
Qiao Yi is Cancer and Alicia is Scorpio.
Cancer is no match for Scorpio.
I don't get it.
Why is Alicia making life difficult for Qiao Yi?
I heard Alicia is Chief Yan's fiancee.
She came to the company to display her dominance.
But, Qiao Yi...
doesn't pose a threat to her.
Besides, isn't Qiao Yi...
Feynman's girlfriend?
Is she?
But, I saw...
Qiao Yi and my idol...
coming to the office in the same car.
Judging from that,
they should be a thing, right?
Qiao Yi is actually so experienced?
But, Feynman is Pisces.
Pisces and Cancer are compatible.
What's Chief Yan's sign?
He's just a man made of ice.
Wait.
Which sign is compatible with Capricorn?
Ms. Hao Wu Yi.
Your new chapter of "Super Sense" is so good.
Today's Chapter 8 will be even better.
Remember to comment and like.
The post has been locked by the administrator?
Why?
Hello. I'm Hao Wu Yi.
-Hello. -Why is "Super Sense" locked?
I'm sorry.
We were instructed to do so by the higher-ups.
You need to ask your content editor.
Alright. Thank you.
Hello.
Hao Wu Yi.
I was about to call you.
Have you started writing Baroque Prince II?
I'm communicating with a production house.
They are very interested in this book.
Let's set that aside.
Why did you lock "Super Sense"?
It's difficult to explain over the phone.
Let's meet up.
Where do we meet?
Vivian said there's a new spicy hot pot restaurant next door.
Should we go and try it?
-Sure. -Let's go.
Qiao Yi, are you joining us?
I still have work to do. Just go without me.
Okay. See you.
Vivian, we're going over now.
Should we invite Chief Yan?
He only eats sandwiches.
Then let's go.
Zhao Qiao Yi.
Come to my office.
How may I help you?
Sit down.
What did you do today?
I bought flowers at 8 am,
coffee at 9 am,
and salad at 11 am.
I picked up her clothes at 2 pm...
and took her cat to the vet for vaccination at 3.30 pm.
And I need to help her collect her parcel at 4 pm later.
Did I hire you to serve Cheng You Mei as her nanny?
She's my direct superior.
I'm your superior too.
Will you kill yourself if I tell you to?
Yes. I'll drag you along.
I bought a new book.
Read it out for me.
Are you a child?
Why do you want me to read it out for you?
Read it out.
Start from Chapter 1.
To his Excellency, the Royal Minister of State,
Baron von Zedlitz I.
Gracious Lord,
To further for one's own part the growth of the sciences...
is to labor in Your Excellency's own interest.
What book is this?
Go on.
which are closely bound up with the sciences...
not only in virtue of your...
exalted position as a patron,
but through your more intimate...
Did you stay up last night?
No.
For some reason,
I keep feeling sleepy lately.
So,
aren't you relaxed now that you're free?
Who says I'm free?
I'm busy writing "Super Sense".
Unlock it quickly.
Read this.
What's the meaning of this?
This outline was written by a girl who majors in Chinese studies.
Just follow this outline.
This is my book.
How can you ask another person to write it?
It'll be signed by you. It's still your book.
Look.
You'll write 100,000 words...
and I'll get that girl to write the rest.
Your pay is 500 times higher than hers.
Of course you've to write something.
No way.
This is my book.
The content and progress should be entirely up to me.
Hao Wu Yi.
I'm under a lot of pressure too.
You'd better know what's best for you.
I'll be frank with you.
If I can groom you,
I can always...
groom another writer.
You're famous today because of me.
Don't think you're good enough to go against me now.
You groomed me because I can make money for you.
I'm a writer.
I'm not your puppet.
People like you...
ruin the writing industry!
Aren't you holy?
If you push my buttons,
it's game over for you in this industry!
If you can't publish your work, in just half a year's time,
your retarded fans will forget about you!
My readers are not retards.
Only retards read your books!
How long have I been sleeping?
Not long.
I need to get back to work.
Qiao Yi.
Tell me if you can't handle it.
-Cheng You Mei... -I'm okay.
Hao Wu Yi.
Why are you so clumsy?
My garbage bag tore open...
when I came out to throw my garbage.
Zhao Guan Chao, are you a pig?
Why didn't you check the garbage bag?
Hao Wu Yi, are you having your menopause?
What's wrong with you today?
A bunch of scoundrels.
Everyone's bullying me!
Aren't you holy?
If you push my buttons,
it's game over for you in this industry!
If you can't publish your work, in just half a year's time,
your retarded fans will forget about you!
What should I do?
If she shuts me out,
will I have to quit writing forever?
It's not that bad.
Back then, you could chase and beat me with a fracture.
What are you doing here?
Saving the dying and wounded.
Be a good girl.
Listen to the doctor and you'll get well soon.
Don't let the wound get in contact with water.
Idiot.
Why did you buy so much butter cookies?
Because it's a good product.
No leavening agents, artificial flavourings or preservatives.
You don't get fat from eating it either.
You're so health conscious now.
But, you really eat a lot lately.
This is the plot from my last book.
I'm just not good at doing it myself.
I'm very careful with my writings.
Really?
Of course.
Qiao Yi.
Will you fall in love with your best friend of many years?
Why are you asking?
You'll realize...
all of a sudden that there is this one person...
who always appears before you when you feel most helpless.
He's supposed to be the least reliable guy.
Yet, you feel safest around him.
You're in love with Zhao Guan Chao?
No way!
This is a chapter in my new book.
The hero is an unreliable man.
Then Zhao Guan Chao is your inspiration.
Have you ever thought about it?
What kind of woman...
will a guy like Zhao Guan Chao marry?
Zhao Guan Chao will never get married.
He doesn't believe in marriage.
So, if a woman falls for him,
she's really unlucky.
I'll say that even though he's my brother.
Qiao Yi.
I received news that...
your neighbourhood...
will face water disruption from 3 pm to 6.30 pm tomorrow.
You need to store some water.
Dad, you don't have to worry about that.
I'll be in the office at that time.
But, don't you need to cook when you get back at night?
I can eat out.
How many times have I told you?
The food outside is dirty.
When it comes to food,
you must be extra careful.
Alright. Before I go out today,
I'll store a bucket of water.
Yes, you should.
Also,
the wind is really strong in Beijing lately.
I heard that a billboard collapsed.
I think it's quite close to your place.
You stay in Chaoyang District, right?
Dad.
Chaoyang District is huge.
Who told you about that?
I haven't even heard about it.
I...
Let me talk.
Qiao Yi.
Have you received the pickles I sent you?
Yes.
But, please stop sending me pickles.
Why? You don't like it?
No. I love it so much.
It's just that the delivery is too costly.
The delivery fee...
is must higher than the cost of the pickles.
Don't worry about the money.
Your brother said...
you love these pickles.
He told me to send all of them to you instead of him.
You've such a good brother.
Right!
You can let your friends have some of those pickles.
Let them try my homemade pickles.
I'll just lose all my friends.
Mom, I need to go to work.
I've to hang up now.
It's going to rain in Beijing today.
Remember to bring an umbrella.
I know. Bye bye.
What are you having for lunch?
Sandwich.
Remember the restaurant we love back in the UK?
They have a branch in Sanlitun now.
Do you want to go?
Sure.
It's time for a break.
Let's go out for lunch.
It's on me.
Are you joining us, Qiao Yi?
Come on, Qiao Yi.
You didn't join us yesterday.
I brought my own lunch today.
I'll pass.
Alright. See you later.
Let's go.
Bye bye, Qiao Yi.
See you.
This is so good.
Thank you, Alicia.
Aren't you on a diet?
I'll watch my diet after this.
I've been wanting to come to this restaurant.
It's just that it's too costly.
If you like this restaurant, we can come again.
Alicia.
How did you meet Chief Yan?
Our families are friends.
We grow up together.
Childhood sweethearts.
I guess it right.
I used to think that no one in this world...
is good enough for our ice-cold Chief Yan...
until I met you.
What a lovely couple.
Perfect.
But,
I think Qiao Yi is good too.
Alicia is the better one for Chief Yan, okay?
Shut up and eat.
Let's eat.
Hurry up and eat.
Why didn't you join them?
What are you saying?
Do you think she can bribe me with a meal?
It'll take at least 3 meals.
That's right.
You look so pretty when you smile.
Don't be gloomy all day.
I heard that Cheng You Mei and Yan Mo...
grew up together.
Yes. My sister is Cheng You Mei's godmom.
She studied in Cambridge too?
I heard that her course was even tougher than Mo Mo's.
Actually,
everyone has their own forte.
There's no need to envy others.
Take me for example.
When I was little, I was bullied by a fat boy.
I was studying in Beijing...
and that guy beat me for no reason all the time.
Then, we went to an arcade together.
Guess what happened.
I took him to an arcade...
and found out that he didn't even know how to play games.
I won 100 tokens for him.
You became friends with him?
No.
Then I got fat too.
I beat them all up.
Play for me.
I'm not good.
This pickle is delicious.
My mom made it.
If you like it, I'll give you a jar of it.
Why are there holes in the chili?
My mom said it makes it taste better.
It's delicious.
You're done eating, right?
It's time to get back to work.
You stay.
I have something to say to you.
In this case,
we shall not be a bother.
What's the matter?
Qiao Yi is our marketing planner.
She's not your personal assistant.
If you need coffee,
let the housekeeping lady buy it for you.
You feel bad for her?
Yes.
If she's so precious, she should just stay home.
She shouldn't be working.
Be rational.
Don't get personal at work.
You've the nerve to tell me to be rational.
You've never been rational when it comes to her.
I'm the only one who knows how miserable you were in the UK.
