[My True Friend]
[Episode 8]
Calm down a little first.
Have you ever thought about it before?
You've loved this person unrequitedly for so many years, but he doesn't even know of your existence.
Who says he doesn't know that I exist?
Forget it, I won't talk about it with you. Drink your drink.
Son, Son
What do you think about the little girl, Cheng Zhen Zhen?
Why do I like this child so much?
Especially her smile. It's so good-looking.
Also, I think this child is especially kind, which different from other girls these days.
Mom, could you stop matchmaking?
She isn't the type that I like.
Yes, yes. Her career doesn't meet your criteria, right?
Mom, you say you are being serious? I think you're too desperate for a daughter-in-law.
Right, you, child.
It's true. I am silly. Very muddled.
Your old mother is muddled. How about you?
Hurry up, Son. Hurry up and find a girlfriend to bring back home for me.
Find a daughter-in-law for me. Hurry up. Find a Chinese one. You're not allowed to find a foreign one.
I have a girl to mention.
Really?
Where, where? Where is it?
I've never seen you on a date with that girl.
Lying to your mom again.
Here eat a tomato.
Thank you. Bye.
Can I go up there and sit for a while?
Sorry, it's this late
I'm embarrassed to let you at a girl's house.
Let's meet another time.
Hey beautiful, when can we meet again?
[DirectorJin]
Sorry. I need to pick up a phone call.
Go ahead,
Hello?
Mr. Jin, you finally called me.
You thought through on buying that house?
Ms. Hao, the first thing you brought up is the house. I'm really hurt.
I saw another house that I thought was not too bad.
I kind of decided not to come right now.
How about you come over and tell me what you think?
Right now?
Okay send me the address and I'll come over right now.
Okay.
See you in a bit.
I'm sorry. You know, being a real estate intermediary like us
is just this rough. Customers are everything.
When they want to meet up, we have to accommodate them.
Thank you for taking me home today.
Mei Li. Mei Li.
If you are discussing way too late, you can always give me a call.
I guarantee I'll be like you with your intermediaries; I'll appear in front of you any time at all.
Okay, you learn fast.
I'll take my leave now.
- Give me a call. - I'll call you. Good-bye.
Earlier over the phone, you said
You saw a pretty good house and you want me to take a look at it?
Where is the house?
Guess.
It's this one.
A golden house for my mistress. [Chinese idiom]. How do you feel about that?
I don't think much of it.
I think you are treating me
not good at all.
What is not good?
How is it not good? How?
You know girls like me that comes from a foreign place
have to work really hard when they come to a big city. Do you know how much we suffer and how hard we have to work?
For so many years, do you how much miserable the road has been?
No. Tell me. Go ahead.
I actually don't think much
I sincerely just want to introduce a good house to you
I just hoped that you could buy that house.
Then, I'd get my small intermediary's commission. That was my only thought.
If you get such a fine house like that, that house's value will grow.
Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
Who would've thought, you buying a house and
so you could use it for a relationship with a lover. You clearly don't think much of me.
You are bullying me.
Chief Jing, you are a sucessful person.
Me?
I'm just a little real estate intermediary. I'm just a nobody.
For me to know someone like you
someone with position; Director Jin...
Such a wealthy man like you,
you really can't understand how hard it is for us ordinary people.
I just hope you can help me be able to sell this house out.
It's so hard for me to be able to meet such a big customer like you.
-okay -No, listen to me. If I have nothing to eat
no place to live how am I suppose to live?
Don't cry.
Really. Listening to what you've been saying about outsiders, I...you've gotten to me...
What kind of mood can I be in? What do I do with you? What can I do?
Isn't it just a house? I'll just buy it.
-Really? -Really.
But, after I help you
Uh...the two of us should take a step forward in our relationship.
How about it?
No...Director Jin.
If you really buy this house then you did me a big favor.
You would be my savior. I really thank you.
Then how are you going to thank me?
I...I will most genuinely and sincerely, honestly...
I can be your friend.
Okay. Uh, Mei Li. I see that you are quite intelligent.
Your emotional quotient is equally high. No higher or lower than my wife.
How can I be compared to your wife?
How do I have a life like your wife?
You can be compared with her. I'm telling you that my wifes
comes from a powerful family. They have influence and wealth.
I don't dare provoke trouble with them. I have to let her do whatever she wants; it's annoying.
[I'm your daddy.] [ Sincerely, I am Jing Ran. Please give me your account number.]
Who are you?
Who else could it be? It's Jing Ran.
-[Who is this?] -[Jing Ran]
[Weibo]
I'm your dad.
The code to my front door is 54188.
Can you stop being so childish?
See how I'll deal with you tomorrow.
So rude. How can you treat me like this?
Do you really think I don't know?
I'm your dad.
So hateful.
I've returned to Shanghai.
A few key things will be settled soon.
Is it possible for us to meet in these next few days?
Smart! Let's eat together on Monday.
How about barbeque?
I'm busy.
Hello. I'm also looking forward to meeting you.
You're pretty busy. I can try to plan around your schedule.
Good. As long as you know that I'm busier than you are.
That's the truth.
Wrong person!
Shao Peng Cheng! Shao Peng Cheng are you a pig? Causing trouble at this time.
Hurry up! Are you going to eat barbeque or not?
- Which one? - The one in Xintiandi. - You book it.
I'm intruding, sorry.
It's okay, I understand.
Book it now, otherwise we won't be able to get in on the weekend.
So annoying.
You can go onto my blacklist for now. For goodness sake.
Eh?
You dare to blacklist me?
So boring.
Sorry, I accidentally sent it to the wrong person.
My friend invited me to eat, but I accidentally sent the rejection to you instead.
Son.
Mom, you scared me.
What wrong thing did you do to be scared?
You're chatting online?
Tell mom,
did you meet that friend of yours on the internet?
I'm warning you,
people you meet online are shady.
I just think that
girls like Cheng Zhen Zhen
have very good characters.
I know I was a bit rude, but
can we meet tonight?
What do I do? Rookie agent Cheng Zhen Zhen at your service.
If he knew that Zhen Xin Zhen Yi was me, would he be very disappointed?
Zhen Xin Zhen Yi is such a goddess, but Cheng Zhen Zhen is so plain.
What should I do?
If you're busy working, you don't have to answer me right away.
Just tell me later.
Student, these are my trainers.
♫ The shows not over yet, the sky is still filled with starlight ♫
It might hurt a little.
♫ It's so bright when you wear it ♫
I can only wrap it for you.
You should still go to the hospital otherwise it might get infected.
♫ Happily turning into a fantasy ♫
Your dance is very beautiful.
♫ No one can bear to forget ♫
♫ The smell of the roses from the rooftops ♫
♫ And you are what creates my precious soil ♫
♫ I really want to pick it (the rose) ♫
Jing Ran, I have to tell you
Zhen Xin Zhen Yi is that dumb and silly girl.
She's also the junior that's always been admiring you.
♫ But I only have a small dream ♫
♫ A dream that at your feet ♫
♫ shatters completely into enchanting pieces of glass ♫
♫ That pricks my heart ♫
♫ and keeps me yearning ♫
What are doing?
What are you doing?
You're even daydreaming.
Go back to work.
Don't use work time to watch useless videos.
Does my watching videos interfere with your work?
It's not interfering with my work. But is that wooden face so good to look at?
Better than your tiny eyes.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, that was overboard. Why did you blacklist me last night?
Are you bored? You even pretended to be someone else.
I thought you were annoying. You were distracting me.
Didn't I do that to make you happy? I was playing with you.
I said I wanted to eat dinner with you.
What kind of attitude is this? You even blacklisted me.
I'm telling you, you're not helping you or me right now.
You need to analyze and reflect upon your actions. Got it?
What are we eating tonight?
Sorry, I already made plans with someone else.
You're here?
Auntie, I'm here to visit you.
No no.
There's no one else, it's just me.
I just wanted to talk with you alone. I won't take up too much time.
Little Hao, I'm going to be blunt.
I know that people in your profession don't have it easy.
You guys need to get orders and get commissions.
I don't want to make things hard for you, really.
This house of mine,
I don't want to sell it to that type of person.
That...Aunt Bai, I understand.
Actually, I don't like them either.
Look, that guy is so lecherous.
That girl only wants to live off of a rich man, not do any honest work.
They're not good people.
So I came to ask you
if you really want to sell this house.
If you are sure that you want to sell this house,
I promise that I won't sell your beautiful house
to people like them.
If you put it like,
then I'll let you handle it.
I'm definitely selling this house.
Great! Aunt Bai,
when it comes to selling the house, just trust me.
- Take these flowers - But—
I'll definitely find a good owner
for your good house.
Just trust me.
Listen for my good news.
-Goodbye Auntie Bai. -Goodbye.
Thank you.
Why can't you tell me over the phone? Why do we have to meet up?
I'm afraid I won't be able to make it clear over the phone.
The house that you guys wanted.
-Aren't you planning to sign the contract this afternoon? -That's right.
But I feel
uneasy. I can't relax.
I keep thinking there's been some kind of setback.
What are you so worried about?
I get to the point.
It's just that I can somewhat tell the relationship between you and Director Jin.
I'm afraid of his wife, that faded old woman.
What if she pops up out of nowhere
and messes everything up?
Jin Da Zhong is deathly afraid of his wife.
How could she tell you all this? Let me tell you,
the reason why he's successful is because of his wife's family.
As long as she waves her hand, whether it's clients, money, etc.
they'd be gone in a heartbeat.
Oh so it's like that.
So are you sure this afternoon
She won't suddenly appear, right?
That old lady goes to Anman Private Club every Wednesday to swim.
Without fail. For 3 years now.
Anman Private Club?
Mrs. Jin
Who is it?
I was asked by Director Jin
I hope you can come with me this afternoon to sign a contract for a house.
This house is a gift from Director Jin.
Come in.
Hello, Mrs. Jin.
Why didn't Director Jin mention this house to me?
Director Jin didn't mention this house
because he wanted to give you a surprise.
He especially asked me to arrange this
because he wanted this surprise
to have a ceremonious feel.
Here, look.
This is Director Jin's signature.
That's indeed Jin Da Zhong's handwriting.
Don't worry, Mrs. Jin.
If Director Jin didn't tell me that you're here,
with your identity, in such a secretive location,
how could I have easily found you?
When are we signing the contract, then?
This afternoon.
Someone who doesn't bare to eat meat
is sneakily buying new clothes.
Cheng Zhen Zhen, I'm going to find out what you're doing.
This miss, what would you like?
Come in and take a look.
These are all new brands.
Mister, is there anything-
I'm with her. Just take care of her.
Together?
Looking at you, your skin is bright, and you have good body shape.
Try this one. This one is very suitable.
This is a bit showy.
You don't like the romantic feel?
Then
what about this one?
A pure and graceful style.
Perfect for dates.
This color really suits you too.
This
looks very nice.
Let's go try it on.
♫ The day fate set us to collide ♫
♫ The way you look into my eyes ♫
♫ Never thought, love would come ♫
♫ Like all was meant to happen ♫
♫ Where you are will be where I start ♫
♫ You’ve become my only star ♫
♫ Where it’s dark is where you spark ♫
♫ I’d follow wherever you are ♫
♫ Baby, I won’t let you feel afraid ♫
♫ I’ll be here with you through night and day ♫
Mister, your girlfriend looks really good in that dress. ♫ All these memories won’t be erased ♫
♫ My love for you will never fade ♫
Shao Peng Cheng?
That...
How come you're here?
That, I'm just going to the...
Don't tell me you were following me.
I'll be taking this dress thank you.
Ok, I'll wrap it up for you.
Take a look at the Self-Hi Pot.
This is our store's newest product.
It's hot pot that's out of this world.
Our hot pot has three features:
it's nutritious, it's hi-tech, and it's delicious.
Try a free sample.
It's delicious.
Right? Our hot pot is absolutely for everyone and a bargain.
Mu Mu. Mu Mu.
Don't run so fast. Auntie can't catch up with you.
Then just don't follow me. I never wanted you to follow me.
I want my mom to come with me.
Don't randomly touch anything, what will you do if it breaks?
Behave.
Little child, are you trying to get this?
I will help you get it.
Your mom must have said that you cannot eat a lot of this,
it's bad for your teeth.
How did you know?
I know your mom.
I also know that your name is Mu Mu.
Mu Mu! Mu Mu!
Who is that? Why are you hiding?
She's my Auntie, I hate her the most.
She never lets me eat chocolate, never lets me drink cola.
She doesn't let me watch television, and makes me take afternoon naps.
Mu Mu, how about I take you to find your mom?
Auntie, you know my mom?
Your mom and I are good friends.
Your mom has brought you to visit me before.
You were just too little, so you don't remember.
Auntie, you really can bring me to see my mom?
I heard my dad say that my mom is sick,
I really want to go see her.
Mu Mu, you're such a good child.
That...
How about this? Auntie will take you to find your mom right now.
Alright.
Come, let's go.
Come, come in.
This is the women's restroom, I am a boy. I don't want to go.
Mu Mu, didn't I say already?
We have to make you look like a girl
for you to go see your mom.
When she opens the door, your mom will ask:
Who is this young lady? Are you lost?
And then you can loudly yell:
Mom! It's me! You don't even recognize me?
What do you think the look on your mother's face will be like?
Good boy. Let's put on the dress.
Mu Mu, you must be pretty wearing this.
Come on, hurry.
Good.
Oh right, you also have to wear this.
When you wear this, you'll be even prettier.
How pretty.
No.
Can you first wear this jacket?
There's so many people around in this broad daylight. What are you exposing your shoulders for?
Why are you so annoying?
What are you following me around for?
Also, why do you have to know who I'm meeting with?
Cheng Zhen Zhen, don't be ignorant of good intentions.
We're partners now.
Following you? I'm not following you. I just didn't know where you went.
I saw you—I have to maintain our small team of two.
We're a team of friends, right?
Mu Mu, what's wrong?
My dad said before that I cannot leave with strangers, I have to find Auntie.
How is Auntie a stranger?
Auntie is your mom's friend. Hurry up.
Then what is my mom's name?
Mom is mom, you'll see her soon. Hurry up.
I don't want to go with you!
-You said you came to shop. So shop. -Hurry, get up! Good boy.
Behave.
You don't know my mom!
Hurry up, hurry up.
You came and bought this dress.
Exposing so much skin in broad daylight.
Hurry up!
You don't know my mom!
Hurry up!
Why don't you listen to me?
It's a bit strange.
Have you heard anything I just said?
Why are you caring about someone else?
You don't know my mom!
Hurry up, let's go!
Auntie, what's wrong with your child?
Nothing, nothing. Children fuss around, he'll be alright in a while.
Good in a while.
That's my dad's clothes, I don't want to go with her, she's not my mom!
Don't say nonsense.
You're not my mom!
What is he saying?
This child, really.
Auntie, does you husband work at Love and Family?
He's saying it randomly, randomly.
Let's go, go.
Don't cry, we're going home.
Auntie, is he really your child?
How can you ask that? Of course this is my son.
-Wait a second. -No, what are you doing?
He's clearly wearing a girl's clothes, how can you say he's your son?
You don't know. My son likes to wear girls dresses.
We're leaving.
Wait. Can you say what this child's full name is?
And what is his mother's name?
How do I know what his mom's name is?
Mind your own business.
Catch her! Trafficker!
Stop! Trafficker!
Let go of me!
Security! Security! I'll leave it to you.
Hurry up and call the police!
Let me go!
It's okay, it's okay.
Let go of me!
Don't move!
Three takes one

Hello.
Who are you?
I'm an employee of The Touring Landlord. I came to deliver your prize.
Do you mind showing me your proof of victory?
-Is this for real? -Of course it's for real.
Look, this is my uniform.
This.
Yes, there's no problem.
Here, please take this.
Oh, thank you.
I wish you a happy life. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
The Touring Landlord actually does send household appliances.
Auntie Bai!
Hao.
I came again.
Last time, didn't I have a client that was interested in your house?
Today, I brought Mr Jin's wife back to look at the house again.
Let's go in for now.
Mrs Jin, this is the kitchen and dining room.
The furnishings around this house make it look much better than in the photos.
Take a look here. There is also a sunroom.
You can regularly drink tea, get some sunlight, it's great.
To deliver Mr Jin's love for you,
as your real estate agent, we will do our best to find the best house for you.
Mrs Bai, last time you said that you weren't willing to
sell a house as good as yours to a mistress. But now
I've brought the real wife to look around the house. Are you satisfied now?
Mrs Jin is a very kind-hearted woman. She is also a vegetarian.
She wants to use this house to cultivate her heart and nurture her character. Doesn't she meet all your requirements?
I've really done the best I could to sell your house.
Later, when someone comes to buy the house.
Please don't mess it up.
Hao, I just find it weird.
How did you manage to do this?
You don't have to worry. Just leave it to me.
Later, all you'll have to do is sign the contract to sell your house to Mr and Mrs Jin.
I'll take care of everything else. Trust me,
I have the same view as you. A house as good as this,
we must not let a mistress live in it.
This house is quite nice.
Jin Da Zhong, you've finally done something that would make me happy.
I can live here and cultivate my heart and nurture my character.
That's right.
Hao, when is Jin Da Zhong coming?
He should be here soon. I'll go out and have a look.
Mr Jin, you're here already.
Mrs Jin!
Mrs Jin, your husband is here.
Come.
Honey.
Mrs Jin, look how thoughtful Mr Jin is.
He even brought the financial affairs officer from his company with him.
That's right. This is my company's financial affairs officer, Miss Zhang.
My wife.
Hello, Mrs Jin.
- Jin Da Zhong. -Yes?
You have quite good taste.
I've been married to you for many years already. And now, you've finally done something that would make me happy.
Okay, since this house is good and you like it...
Officer Zhang, look at the contract for this house carefully.
As for the extra fees that are involved, go and settle them with the real estate agency.
Do you understand?
I understand. Mr Jin.
Jin Da Zhong. You're buying me a house so suddenly.
Did you do something that would make you feel guilty?
Mrs Jin, you don't even know.
Mr Jin has kept on telling me that
he wants to secretly buy a house and give it to you as a present.
I think that you are the only one in his heart.
That's right, honey. Look, I'm here to personally give you the present.
Aren't I, Honey? If you don't trust me, then this house... Just forget about it.
The heaven's will know the sincerity I have towards my wife.
I was just joking around.
- Let me tell you, he wouldn't dare to do something bad even if I told him to do so. - That's right.
He wouldn't dare to mess around outside.
If I was to find him doing anything bad. I will not care about the many years we've spend as a couple.
Xiao Hao,
I want this house.
- Okay. - Let's sign the contract.
Mr Jin, please ask your financial officer come in
to look over the contract with us as well.
What should we do? It's my house...
Just go in for now.
Xiao Hao, you really are something.
The contract for Mrs Bai's house has signed.
Not bad, Xiao Hao.
You don't even know how much
effort I have used in order to sell off Mrs Bai's house. It wasn't easy at all.
What would Cheng Zhen Zhen and Shao Peng Cheng think of me once they find out about this?
But,Store Manager Zhen. I really didn't mean to steal this case from them.
It was because you and Chief Mu already made a promise with the client.
That was why I had to come up with a method to sell the house as quickly as possible.
This was something that urgently needed done for the good of the company, right?
Did you know? I've been out working all day that I haven't even eaten yet.
My stomach keeps on rumbling.
I have a Self-Hi Pot here you can eat.
Hey, Sister Mei Li. Don't be too polite; wasn't this here just for you?
When you reach middle, you have not choice but to use Chinese wolfberry as the main ingredient for hotpot.
Besides that, your speech...
save all those polite remarks for when you get home. There's no point to saying them here.
Be quite. Who's your older sister?
Hao Mei Li. Please call me Hao Mei Li.
I can't remember that.
Today I'm so happy; I'm not going to argue with you.
Thank you, Manager. You know, I was just craving a Self-Hi Pot. I especially like
this spicy beef flavor. I'll treat you to a meal some time.
Good-bye.
Don't be petty. Continue with your report.
[Outpatient Clinic]
Peng Cheng. I have you to thank for this.
I really don't know how to thank you. The nanny called to tell me she couldn't find Mu Mu.
I almost collapsed when I heard. I thought hte heavens had fallen in on me. Thank you. Thank you.
I really never dreamed that it would be your son.
No. Can you really be a father? You're so busy every day, you can't be concerned about your child, isn't that right?
Can you imagine what Zhen Zhen has had to bear today?
True, true. I really am not a competent father.
Since he was young, Mu Mu's mother took care of him;
the year before last, his mother divorced me.
Mu Mu lives with me.
He goes to see his mother every weekend. I'm often busy with work,
He's mostly with a nanny. The child is young and often throws temper tantrums.
I don't have any patience. What happened today was a terrible error. If it weren't for you two...
Director Mu, don't blame yourself too much.
The person today was a child trafficker. They were professionals especially looking for an older nanny looking after a child.
Fortunately, Mu Mu was so smart today. He saw the "Love and Family" company logo on our clothing.
Zhen Zhen, I'm really sorry. It's all my fault. I caused you to be hurt like this.
I'll be responsible for all your treatment costs. You go home and rest.
Later, I'll speak with your store manager. I'll arrange for you to take time off work.
