My True Friend
Episode 5
She should be here soon.
Should? That's very imprecise terminology.
Son, it's okay. Let's wait a little longer.
Um, Aunt Bai, I'll go give her a call and ask where she is right now.
What are you doing?
Sorry.
What are you doing?
Come over here.
Shao Peng Cheng, did you do it on purpose?
You can't let me stay with Jing Ran a little longer? What are you thinking?
You sell houses, not your body. Can you compose yourself? Acting all coy, whatever you're doing.
What are you saying! Where is Luo Zu'er?
- She's not picking up. - Call again!
- I'm calling! - I've been waiting for a long time.
What's really going on?
Mr. Jing, it might be the time of day where there is traffic.
Sorry, wait a little longer.
Ma'am, this gentleman is looking for you.
I'm Manager Zeng. You are...?
I'm Miss Luo's Attorney.
My last name's Zhang. You can call me Attorney Zhang.
I came here today to represent Miss Luo
and deal with the matters related to this house.
In reference to the original stipulations of this contract, Miss Luo's physical and mental health was affected,
so Miss Luo refuses to buy this house.
- What?! - Wait a moment. What does buying a house have to do with health matters?
Can she come speak for herself? What's wrong with the house?
Sorry. After Miss Luo looked at the house, she became frightened.
So she can't come here herself.
- Then let's compensate based on the agreement. - Okay.
According to your previously signed agreement,
Miss Luo has no need to proceed with any compensation.
Is your letter of intent so lackadaisical?
Who authorized you to change the company's specifications?
Aunt Bai, Mr. Jing, this matter must have some kind of misunderstanding involved.
When we meet Miss Luo in person, we'll have a good chat with her.
If she wanted to discuss face to face, she wouldn't have sent a lawyer over here.
I altered the letter of intent.
As expected, a person who isn't reliable, isn't reliable when doing anything.
Mom, we have to find another real estate agency.
- No, Jing Ran. - Sorry, sorry.
- Aunt Bai. - Son.
Go after your client!
Cheng Zhen Zhen, come with me!
Who's there? Coming.
- Cheng Cheng, why did you come? - Aunt, is Zu'er here?
She's here. Zu'er, why are you running? Cheng Cheng came to see you.
Luo Zu'er.
Cheng Cheng, you two talk.
- I will make you some good food. - Thanks, Aunt.
You're welcome.
Cheng Cheng, why did you come?
You're not going to work today?
What were you thinking?
If you don't want that house, tell me directly.
Tell me directly. Why did you find a lawyer? Are you playing with me?
You can't blame me for this.
When you were selling the house, you didn't tell me that the Fengshui wasn't good.
Fortunately, Old Lady Bai told me yesterday about the marriage demon.
You see. I haven't even bought that house,
and you're already yelling at me.
No, wait. You're saying that Aunt Bai told you yesterday that the Fengshui wasn't good?
That's right! She's dependable, unlike you.
Do you have any common sense? The company's contract?
Is that something that can be changed if you guys want to change it?
I believe right now that the problem hasn't reached its severest time.
Mrs Bai's case has not been withdrawn yet and Miss Luo's down payment is still with us.
But you guys still have to learn from this. You can't continue being like this. Am I right?
- You have to find the problem's solution as soon as possible. - I understand.
The damage to our agency is currently still secondary, but if Mrs. Bai withdraws her case,
our store's reputation will be damaged. This damage is not something that we can fix with just money.
Don't waste your efforts.
We won't be able to complete this case.
What are you saying?
What do you mean? I'm saying the truth.
This old lady didn't actually want to sell this house.
That's why she came up with these stories to scare off Miss Luo.
I reckon this is not the first time this has happened.
I'm not sure how many people she's scared off before.
According to what you said, both the seller and buyer are at fault. It's only you who's right.
Shao Peng Cheng, your attitude is very problematic.
I have yet to punish you for making changes to the contract.
It's very close to the month end evaluation. If you don't do well, leave immediately.
To make up for what happened today, both of you must hand out an additional 500 flyers.
Learn from your mistake and reflect on what you did wrong.
You scared me to death. You're threatening me.
As a store manager, all you know how to do every day is to go around and threaten others.
Don't you find yourself annoying?
- Who do you think you're speaking to? This attitude of yours— - Manager.
I am responsible for what happened today. I didn't stop the client from making adjustments to the contract.
I know what I did was wrong. How about this?
I'll go see Mrs. Bai again. I'll beg her to give us one more chance.
Fool.
Are you stupid? Is there something wrong with your brain?
I've already told you that the old lady doesn't want to sell this house.
And purposely making us the scapegoats.
Why are you not willing to give up?
Why don't we just switch to someone else?
Shao Peng Cheng, you always think that what you say is right.
If you find it that bothersome, then stop being a real estate agent.
I don't care whether Mrs. Bai wants to sell the house or not.
Since she has already given me this task, I must help her find a suitable buyer.
No matter how tired I am, I will continue to search.
Otherwise, why else would she pay me a commission?
This house, whether you want to go or not, I'll go by myself.
Manager, I'll be leaving now to look for Mrs. Bai.
Go.
Why are you sighing? Have a look at Cheng Zhen Zhen's attitude and compare it to yours.
You don't need to educate me.
I'm already hopeless.
You're really hopeless.
I couldn't tell.
This Cheng Zhen Zhen actually has a quick-witted spirit.
That's what I was saying.
Why was she so interested in Mrs. Bai's house's matters?
Turns out that she was aiming for Mrs. Bai's outstanding son.
Why didn't we think of that?
What are you saying?
Can you stop talking badly about others?
Is Cheng Zhen Zhen really like what you described her to be?
She is a very righteous person.
Unlike you, with so many flaws.
What is your problem? I didn't say anything about you.
Why are you getting mad at me?
Furthermore, didn't you say this yourself?
You said that she's after Mrs. Bai's son.
And now, you're trying to defend her.
You switch sides even faster than switching books.
I'm not defending her.
I was just stating the facts.
Shouldn't you be taking the blame for this?
If it weren't for you not being able to handle the case,
it wouldn't have been pushed onto us and none of this would have happened.
Cheng Zhen Zhen was foolish to have taken up this crappy case.
Shouldn't you feel ashamed?
Why are you interfering in this?
This has nothing to do with you. Stay out of it.
Fine. I am not skilled enough to sell the house,
but aren't you all elites at this.
Don't you guys have a wider network?
Then, why were you guys also tricked by Mrs. Bai?
Now, I'm just going to wait and see.
I'll see how you'll be able to handle that old lady.
Coming, coming.
Who is it?
- Zhen Zhen. - Aunt Bai.
I came to apologize. I'm really, really sorry.
The matter last time was really my fault. I feel really sad.
I came here to give you this fruit basket as an apology.
You child. What are you apologizing for?
- What is there to be sorry about. - I'm really sorry.
Hurry. Come in. I don't blame you.
This matter isn't your fault.
Moreover, I have to thank you.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't see my son until the Spring Festival.
My son.
He's playing the violin.
Do you want to see?
- Can I? - Of course. Come, come.
Let me tell you, my son is outstanding in all aspects.
He's liked music ever since he was young.
Listen. Listen.
This tune that he is playing,
was taught to him by my husband back in the days.
Jing Ran really likes this piece, too.
Every time he comes back home, he'll play it several times.
It sounds very beautiful.
You can stay here and watch. I'll go get you a cup of coffee.
- Thank you, Aunt Bai. - No problem.
I'm sorry, Mr. Jing Ran.
I came here to apologize to you and Aunt Bai.
Don't worry about it.
My mom has told me lots of great things about you.
Also I hope that you guys be more professional in terms of your work.
Don't keep on wasting my time.
Zhen Zhen. Don't take Jin Ran's words to heart.
He's the type of person who's cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Mom, I'm going in to pack up my things.
My ride will be here soon.
Mr. Jing Ran.
Are you heading back to Italy this soon?
About that... he rushed back home yesterday at the last minute.
He has an important meeting tomorrow, so he must rush back.
He has already grown up.
Even as a parent, I can't get him to stay.
- Aunt Bai. - Yes?
You should hurry and go help Jin Ran pack his luggage.
I won't waste your time then.
Next time if you need help with your garden or anything else in the house, just give me a call.
I'll come over as soon as you call me.
All right then, Zhen Zhen. Today, I won't keep you here any longer.
Come over and visit me whenever you have time.
Sir, can you stop for a moment?
Miss Cheng! Miss Cheng!
Where are you heading to? Would you like a lift?
I'm going to the Flower Garden Real Estate office.
Hop on.
- Is it convenient? - Yes it is.
Thank you.
Miss Cheng.
Thank you.
It seems like every time we meet, you're either thanking or apologizing to me.
Mr. Jing, do you always come and leave in a hurry?
Initially, I didn't have plans to come back.
Sorry.
Dear Miss Sincerely, I came back home in a hurry and only stayed for two days.
We didn't have the chance to meet up.
I hope that we'll have the chance to meet up and get to know each other next time.
There will definitely be a chance.
Being alone overseas, you better take good care of yourself.
Have a safe trip.
Thank you.
Love and Family Real Estate
- What's the matter? - Mr. Jing Ran, please wait a moment.
- Sir, let's wait here for a moment. - Okay.
Mr. Jing, I would like to apologize once more for the mistake I made.
This pot of succulents was raised by me.
I want to give it to you.
As an early birthday present.
Aunt Bai told me a couple of days ago that it'll be your birthday in a couple of months time.
Thank you.
But I can't bring this in the plane with me.
Also I don't quite know how to raise these types of plants.
How about this? You can give it to my mom.
She'll definitely take good care of it.
- Okay. - Thanks.
I have a plane to catch. I'll get going now. Bye-bye.
Mr. Jing. Mr. Jing, I'll definitely send it to her.
I'll definitely send it to her for you!
Are you crazy? Why are you copying me?
You're the crazy one, being a love-struck fool in broad daylight.
- Where are you going during work hours? - To apologize.
Shao.
Why did you invite Householder Xie?
So it's like this, Aunt Bai.
I came here today for two reasons.
The first is to come and apologize to you in-person.
And more importantly, the second reason.
I'm here to drive away the bad marriage predestined by fate brought by this house.
That's not necessary.
We don't need it.
Aunt Bai. I understand... I understand the concerns you have.
Don't worry. I've known him for a long time.
You don't have to pay a single cent.
No. Money is not the issue. It's just that I...
It's my son.
He doesn't believe in this nonsense.
Yes, Aunt Bai. That's why—
Householder Xie, come have a seat.
Have a drink of water.
The house is excellent and the Fengshui is also very good.
Yes, it's very good. Did you hear that?
But it's excessively cold which can be harmful towards men.
What does that mean?
This is a little strange.
Householder Xie, you might not know her circumstances.
Aunt Bai's son is an outstanding person.
H-He is definitely considered a successful person.
You said that the house can be harmful for men.
If it's harmful for her son,
then what would be considered good?
What Shao said is right.
My son is very outstanding.
Just recently, he was second place in a global design competition.
And my husband, if he hadn't passed away...
He would've become...
He would've become an academic fellow.
I'm referring to the men being at a disadvantage, not that your family is broken.
B-Broken?
Um... Aunt Bai, don't think too much of it.
This i-is not necessarily the case.
I'll ask him some more. It's okay, It's okay.
Just remain calm.
Uh, Mr. Xie.
Look, we've been friends for so long, right?
We're old friends.
About today, you have to say a couple of good things. Yes?
Y-You come here and casually talk about broken families...
Look at how agitated Aunt Bai is.
Even I'm all sweaty and nervous.
Okay, then I will take another look for you.
Thank you, thank you.
Aunt Bai, don't worry.
No wonder. So it's because of this.
I think the Yang energy keeps escaping out of the house.
It's because of this tree.
Tree...
- What happened? - Aunt Bai, I'll go ask him.
Don't worry, okay? Uh...
Explain in detail, what's wrong with this tree?
You see, a tall tree attracts wind (idiom). It necessarily draws disaster towards it.
The tree is drawing the predestined lifespan of all the men in the house towards it.
S-So you're saying that this tree keeps sucking in Yang energy.
It keeps sucking all the Yang energy resulting in
- the misfortune of the men. - Yes.
This tree, it's been here for so many years.
So for so many years, this home's Fengshui has been bad. Is that right?
There's always been a problem?
Then, in this case... Aunt Bai—
Aunt Bai!
- What's wrong? - Aunt Bai!
- What, what, what— - What happened?
Why did you say so much? You scared an old lady to this state.
Go! Go, go.
Get out!
Aunt Bai?
What happened?
Aunt Bai, can you hear me?
Aunt Bai! Aunt Bai.
Hello? Is this the emergency department?
Emergency Prescription
It wasn't anything major.
She was momentarily excited and her blood pressure spiked a bit.
She's on an IV drip. We'll keep her and observe her for the next two days.
Then perform a brain CT.
If we don't find anything, she can go home.
High blood pressure in the elderly is a big deal. We must not overlook it.
Okay, we will follow your instructions.
Speak slowly to the elderly.
What were you doing to get her so agitated?
You, young people, need to get along with them some more.
You're right, it was our fault. Thank you, Doctor.
Whoever catches me can just blah blah blah. So annoying.
What are you looking at me for?
The old lady can scare me, but I can't scare her?
Moreover, who knew she scared so easily.
As if feudal superstition were a real thing.
Shao Peng Cheng. I thought you just blundered ahead with whatever you say, but your heart wasn't in the right place.
I never thought you would expend so much energy to get ahead.
Tormenting an old lady, all for your own gain.
You stay here and stand watch.
I'm going to pay and grab the medicine.
Phone, phone.
- Uh, Aunt Bai. - Phone, who's calling?
Your son. Slowly!
My son's calling!
Thank you.
Aunt Bai, tell your son that I'll cover all the medical expenses.
Shh, quiet.
Hello? Son?
You landed?
Very good, good.
I was just in our yard walking and heard the phone ring.
I ran into the house so I'm a little out of breath.
Nothing's wrong, everything's fine.
Son, I don't want to take up any more of your time, you have meetings tomorrow.
Go ahead and get some rest.
I'm hanging up now, okay? Good night.
Aunt Bai, why didn't you tell him what happened?
I can't tell my son I'm in the hospital.
If he knew, he...
He would be so worried.
Aunt Bai, what's wrong?
Shao Peng Cheng, I asked you to watch over Aunt Bai.
- How did you make her upset again? - What?
- Get out. - It's not...
It's not just the Fengshui Master that got me.
I...
Once I thought about Jing Ran's father,
my heart was just so sad.
We've lived in this house for decades.
I have a deep affection for it.
Aunt Bai, you're not well, there's no need to discuss these matters right now.
Jing Ran's father was an especially romantic person.
Once I came home after work,
to find that the curtains in the house
were changed to a color I liked.
The sofa had been switched out for the black leather sofa that I liked.
And on the table would be a vase of particularly beautiful, fresh flowers.
That tree in our yard...
was actually planted by Jing Ran's father and I.
We wanted the tree to accompany Jing Ran as he grew up.
In the future, when we grew old,
we would sit underneath the tree.
And remember all the beautiful memories from our youth.
Aunt Bai.
You still have Jing Ran.
He wants you to sell the house and live with him abroad.
So he can be with you and take care of you.
Sometimes, a house is just a tangible structure.
A family together, that's the real home.
Aunt Bai, have some fruit.
- I'll go to the house to get some clothes for you. I'll be back soon. - Okay.
Thank you.
Rest well. If anything comes up, call me immediately.
Okay. Don't worry.
Hey.
What are you still doing here?
I was afraid you two were talking behind my back; saying bad things about me.
Childish. You did bad things and won't let people talk about them?
I'm too lazy to explain it to you.
- Give me the keys. I'll go get her stuff. - What do you want?
You already scared Aunt Bai into this state. What else are you trying to do?
If you leave, who takes care of Aunt Bai?
Which is more important, taking care of a sick person or grabbing things?
Give me.
Shao Peng Cheng.
Don't worry.
So Peng Cheng just messed up an account.
Although he didn't achieve anything, his work attitude is serious.
That counts for something.
Drink some water.
Sir, Dr. Zhong has repeatedly told you not to pull all-nighters.
Go home, get some rest.
This son of mine, I know.
He's fastidious, but incompetent (idiom).
His performance has been as I expected.
If he were to successfully complete one listing in this short-term,
then that would be bizarre.
Don't worry, we will absolutely follow the renovation plans you gave us.
We'll have the work done by tonight.
Now, about the cost—
The cost isn't an issue. As long as the work meets my standards, I'll pay you.
Okay, leave it to us.
Richard Mille.
Classic style.
That's right. You know how much this watch is worth.
The receipt.
For a watch such as this, we offer a third of its value.
Two-percent interest a month, up to a maximum of six months.
Does that work for you?
Wait.
- Did I hear right? You said tw-two percent? - That's right.
But that's too high. You—
This doesn't seem like a racket.
Can you go any lower?
It's all the same rate.
If you don't believe me, you can search online to see the rates of other pawn shops.
We need collateral in order to operate.
No, I—
All right. Two percent is two percent.
All right. If there aren't any other issues, let's get on with the contract.
Okay. Then if you'll wait a moment, I will go prepare the contract.
Okay.
Out-Patient
As soon as I get home, I'll make you something good to eat.
Aunt Bai, you need rest!
It's fine.
Aunt Bai. Let me, let me.
Aunt Bai.
Thank you.
Good job.
I'm home!
I'm sorry, Aunt Bai.
Thank you.
Little Shao, Zhen Zhen,
you've gone through a lot of trouble for me.
I've lived in this house for thirty years.
The stains on its walls, the cracks on its floors,
the edges of the cabinets worn smooth from polishing,
all are the imprints of time.
Back then, Jing Ran always ran into the table edges.
I blink my eyes and he's already this big now.
I've stayed in this house.
Old Jing said, "Wherever your family is, your home is, too".
He was right. A family together is the most important thing.
Old Jing...
I'll sell our house.
I'm going to live with our son in Italy.
Are you happy?
Come on, everybody! Let's have some prawns.
- Me, me, me. Let me have one. - This is so good.
It's so hot.
You say this Aunt Bai is really willing to sell her house? No way.
You can't believe it right? Do you regret it then?
Not persisting with the sale?
It was there for your taking (Lit. the duck at your mouth flew away). Thank you.
You're making me angry!
Like I said earlier, as long as you attentively sell houses,
there isn't a house that you can't sell.
Well done, you two. Here's your reward.
No, I still can't believe that these two newbies alone were able to take care of that old fox, Aunt Bai.
Did you all hear that? She called Aunt Bai an old fox.
How could you say that?
Hey, which side are you all on?
I only meant that Aunt Bai was really difficult to handle. Seriously.
If you don't believe me, then I double down on what I said.
If these two can sell Aunt Bai's house,
then with this 100 yuan, I'll buy you two coffees.
How stingy. 100 yuan? That's not enough. ($15 USD)
Take it back. When you lose, I'll fish out 100 yuan from your pocket.
What if you lose?
- If we lose, Manager— - If those two lose, then they leave the company this month with no accomplishments under their belt.
That's right. Did you hear that, Cheng Zhen Zhen?
If you can't sell the house, then you leave without any accomplishments.
Manager, why don't you take this 100?
Nice play.
Sir, would you like to look at this house?
- Sir, Miss, look at these houses. For rent, for sale, we have both! - No thank you.
Sir, we have several very good different types of houses. Have a look.
Miss, we have several very good housing units. Take a look.
Take a look, it's okay.
- Where? - Over there. There, there.
Love and Family Real Estate Special Sale
Aunt, do you want to sell a house, or rent a house?
Have a look at the flyer.
I want to buy a school district house.
We have school district houses. We have a lot of those.
Can you recommend some for me?
Absolutely, we happen to have a lot of particularly good school district houses here.
What kind of requirements do you have?
I would prefer a one-story with a little yard.
When my son finishes his homework,
he likes to play in the yard for a little bit. Exercise a bit.
Aunt Bai's house!
This house is too good.
It's exactly what I pictured in my head.
The layout is also good, it all faces the sun.
My son will absolutely love it.
Really? Let me tell you, when I first started renovating,
I put so much mental effort into it.
This side was also the suggestion of my son.
Your son, where does he go to school?
He's not in school. He's already working.
He's in Italy. He's an interior designer.
- Wow, he's very talented. - Yes.
My son is also very smart.
A few days ago, he placed first in the City-wide Primary School Mathematics competition!
Primary School Math?
- Then his future can't go wrong! - Exactly, exactly!
Do you think all moms compare their kids when they meet up?
Have a little more patience. As a mom, if you can't compare your child, what else do you compare with?
