The Lover's Lies
Episode 8
Wow!
I really didn't think that I would be able to work at such a big company.
Let's take a photo, take a photo.
Look at this style. Let's show Grandma when we go back.
Have you gone crazy?
We can't let Grandma know we're working at Fu Kang Foods.
But why does Grandma hate Fu Kang so much?
Last time, when I bought a bottle of Fu Kang's broad bean sauce for her,
she chased me out of the house with a soup ladle.
I also don't know. Maybe there's some kind of misunderstanding.
Anyway, she won't know if we don't tell her.
If she asks, then tell her that we were hired externally,
- we don't know the main company's name, got it? - I got it.
If she asks me, I'll just say I don't know.
Alright, let's go.
Once we get the job of taste-tester,
I won't be worried about Grandma nagging me all day anymore.
Isn't this job too fulfilling?
Older Sister Si Ji, how could this job be so good?
Si Ji?
Director Xiang! It's good you haven't left yet.
Please sign this.
Has our company hired taste-testers?
We seem to have.
Come in.
Where's my coffee?
Good morning, General Manager. I'm Xia Lin from the secretarial pool.
Because Assistant Guan got acute gastroenteritis,
today's work will be taken over by me for him.
You have quite a lot of methods.
You even came directly to my office.
Guan Yu's acute gastroenteritis isn't related to you either, right?
You—!
Don't fall for his trap, Xia Lin.
If you say that you don't want to work anymore,
that means you've admitted defeat to him.
General Manager, I think that you have some misunderstandings about me.
It's mainly that you don't understand me. If you understand me—
I'm sorry, I don't want to understand you.
Th—then, that's great.
Since we don't want to spend our time on this kind
of conversation without any kind of constructive purpose,
then I will begin my work.
At 10 am today, you have an appointment with Lin En's Vice President Qiu.
At noon, you have a luncheon at the Jing Cai Hotel.
At 2 pm, you agreed to go play golf with Cheng Tai's Chairman Wang.
That's all for General Manager's work schedule.
May I ask General Manager, if there are any other orders?
I only drink black coffee.
[Individual Résumé] [Name: Tong Si Ji] [Sex: Female]
I'm going to start eating.
The company hired you here to try the company's new products,
whether it will suit the public's tastes.
Don't just think about eating.
It's your first time at Fu Kang, right?
If you have anything you don't understand,
ask me. I can teach you in private.
I got it, Manager.
Here and here and these two here,
you have to fill them in.
I understand, Manager.
This pervert.
Si Ji, have you washed the underwear I took off last night?
What's wrong? Did you choke?
Quick, quick, quick.
How careless. Quickly, quickly.
- Let me. - Quickly, quickly.
How is it?
Sit down, sit down.
What's your name?
My name is Si Ji. Tong Si Ji.
Director, it was like this,
- she was eating... - Come to my office later.
What's going on?
Director Xiang wouldn't come here suddenly.
When you go to the Director's office later, say what you should say. For things you shouldn't say,
don't say them.
I understand.
Hello, are you Miss Tong Si Ji?
- I am. - Our Director Xiang asked you to meet him here.
- Director Xiang? - Yes.
In here, please.
Wait, if he dares to touch me,
I'll use that vase to hit him.
That... Director Xiang, hello.
I don't know what you asked me to come here for?
Please sit.
Director Xiang, I'm really sorry for what happened in the meeting room today.
Because Manager Wang, he... Xiao Chun was only...
- I also don't know how to describe what happened today. - Xiao Chun is...?
He is my younger brother.
So, he is Tong Xiao Chun?
Yes sir.
Director Xiang, I really don't know why you asked me to come here.
But... I am only a little worker that your company hired externally.
You're not thinking of treating me like what Manager Wang did...
I don't mean that.
That... since I am not the kind of girl that you think I am.
What did Wang Ma do to you?
Nothing, nothing. Don't misunderstand.
What am I saying?
What does he really want?
- Please enjoy. - Thank you.
What is it that you asked me to come here for? Just say it.
Have you forgotten? You promised me,
that when we met again, we would meet with a smile
- and you'd treat me to a meal. - Treat you to a meal?
When?
You've done so much for me. I haven't had the time to thank you.
Don't cry, Si Ji.
You look the best when you smile.
We will meet again.
When the time comes, bring your smile and treat me to a meal.
Director Xiang?
You can't possibly be Xiang Yang, right?
Long time no see, Tong Si Ji.
You still look like you do in my memories.
It's really you?
Before 4 pm this afternoon, I need the Yuan Xian Department Store's financial statements from the past 10 years,
the over-the-counter factories' contact plan,
as well as every accounting period's assets and liabilities report in detail.
- Hello? - Cancel today's luncheon for me.
I am going to eat with Lin En's Vice President Qiu.
Go to the Li Bao Hotel and order a roast crispy duck,
Jiang Nan Banquet's steamed yellow croaker fish with pickled cabbages and Tan Zi meat.
As well as Chang Xian Ge's roasted eggplant with Sao Zi sauce fresh and salted pork with bamboo shoot soup.
- Is this mine? Thank you. - It's for you.
Finally, for drinks after the meal, it has to be Ji Qing Tea Shop's fresh fruit tea.
Let's see if you're going to find any mistakes.
General Manager.
I'm going to eat lunch outside with Vice President Qiu at noon today.
Tell the driver to come pick me up at 1 pm.
- Tell him not to forget the golf putters. - But—
Before you leave, clean my office.
Detestable!
Hello?
Xia Lin, are you still alright?
I'm still alright.
The General Manager also complimented my tableful of dishes.
Looks like I was worried for nothing.
Oh, right. Later, you must make a trip to the laundromat.
Bring General Manager's clothes back to his house.
Also, you must not touch anything inside the General Manager's room.
Oh, right, before you go to his house, buy a pair of gloves first.
Gloves?
Why?
Have you forgotten, General Manager's desk, cabinet, and everything that can be seen
must not have fingerprints left on them.
How annoying.
What I meant was, Assistant Guan, don't worry. I will definitely not leave any traces.
Who are you?
Hello, I am General Manager's assistant.
I came to deliver his clothes.
Why didn't Assistant Guan come today?
Assistant Guan is sick.
I am Xia Lin from the secretarial pool. He told me to come here.
- Alright, please come in. - Thank you.
This way.
This way, please.
General Manager doesn't like his room to have anybody else's scent.
After you put down the clothes, leave quickly.
Also, he doesn't like other people touching his things.
Assistant Guan has told you all this, right?
I am very clear about General Manager's habits. Thank you.
Okay. I'll go do my work first then.
This man... is he crazy?
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With the Shirt Team @ Viki
Why is this notebook so torn? Is it his?
Who are you?
Why are you in Yi Yi's room?
Hello, I am Xia Lin from the secretarial pool.
Because his Assistant was sick today,
I came to deliver General Manager's clothes.
You are... General Manager's older sister?
Me?
I am your General Manager's mother.
Oh, my.
You look too young, I thought you were—
I'm sorry, Chairman's Madam.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine, it's fine.
Don't be afraid, my temperament is not as bad as Yi Yi's.
Th—then, thank you, Chairman's Madam.
I—I've finished working. I'll go back to the company first.
Alright.
This female secretary... is quite quick-witted.
- Take care. You're welcome. - Thank you.
How much you get in life depends on how much you're willing to chase after it.
Just you wait.
I'll definitely use my chances well and conquer this castle.
Grandma, I've brought a guest back.
Xiao Qiu, take a guess,
who did I bring back today?
Si Ji—
Hello, everyone.
You are...?
Grandma, this is the Brother Xiang Yang that we often mention to you.
Brother Xiang Yang?
You're Xiao Qiu, right?
You look as handsome as you did when you were young.
Brother Xiang Yang, hello.
You're the savior that they talk about?
Grandmother He Hua, hello. My name is Xiang Yang.
Hello, hello.
Si Ji, you didn't even tell grandma beforehand that you were bringing back a guest.
Grandmother, no need to be modest with me.
Si Ji and I are like family.
It's different.
You and our Si Ji are not family.
Oh, right. Have you eaten?
Come. Come, sit.
- Come, come. Don't stand about. - Sit. - Sit.
Sit, sit, sit. Sit, sit.
Please sit.
Look, I didn't know you were coming. We only have these regular dishes.
Just eat as you want.
That... Xiang Yang, how old are you? Are you married?
Grandma, it's your first time meeting Xiang Yang,
how could you ask him such questions?
Grandma, you're too obvious.
Even if you're rushing to get Older Sister Si Ji married, you still can't be like this.
Don't scare Brother Xiang Yang away.
Tong Xiao Chun!
- Thank you. - Nobody will think you're mute if you don't speak.
Enough. Shut up, both of you.
Xiang Yang, Grandma doesn't see you as an outsider.
For the things that we should know and understand, you can tell us.
Grandma, do you still want Xiang Yang to eat?
Eat, eat, eat. Come, we'll talk while we eat.
Talk while we eat.
- Here. Welcome, welcome. - Thank you, Grandmother.
Grandmother, I am 30 years old this year. I am not married yet.
30 years old?
Not married yet?
Si Ji, you've finally got it.
Grandma likes this young man, you need to get a good hold on him.
Grandma, Xiang Yang and I are childhood friends.
Don't be nonsensical.
After friends grow up, they'll become lovers.
You keep saying that, something full... something...
More than a friend but less than a lover.
Right. Less than, right?
Less than. Then won't it be alright if we make it full?
Grandma, you're quite good. You're too funny.
Xiang Yang, where do you work?
- I work at— - Brother Xiang Yang
works at the company where Older Sister Si Ji and I were hired. He's the Sales Department's Director.
Sales Department's Director?
That's a stable job.
That's great.
Let's eat. Here, here, here. Eat quickly.
- Here, have some vegetables. - Thank you, Grandmother.
- Yes, yes. - Oh, right, Xiao Qiu,
I heard from Si Ji, that you're an intern at the hospital now. I didn't think that, when you said you're going to become a doctor,
it would really come true now.
Yeah, Xiao Qiu is the most outstanding one in our family.
Then... where are Xiao Dong and Xiao Xia?
Xiao Dong doesn't live at home.
Xiao Xia...
she disappeared.
I didn't think Xiao Xia would get lost from you guys.
I remember, when she was young, she would follow behind me calling out, "Brother Xiang Yang".
I promised her, that I would come back to find her.
I didn't think that I would lose out on our promise.
That day, she knew you weren't going to come back.
She cried for a really long time.
Si Ji, don't think too much.
Xiang Yang,
I am really not suitable to be her older sister.
If I'm not able to find her in my lifetime, what will I do?
Don't worry, that won't happen.
Look, it's been so many years but we still met each other again.
You must be brave and look ahead.
I guarantee, I will definitely find Xiao Xia for you.
I—I pushed away that bad manager!
Then, I immediately hugged Older Sister Si Ji,
I immediately used the Heimlich technique to save her.
You know what happened,
Si Ji spit it out at once
and it landed right on the manager's face.
Our Older Sister Si Ji hits the target every time without missing.
Older Sister, you're back.
Continue, continue.
Just when Older Sister Si Ji was about to fall,
right at this moment, Brother Xiang Yang appeared like a god.
- How stupid. - He said, "What's your name?".
He was so handsome!
Stupid.
Si Ji. Si Ji.
How was Xiang Yang? Did he say anything?
He said, "Thank your Grandmother for serving.me".
That's it?
That's it.
How could that be possible?
I am definitely not wrong.
Xiang Yang is interested in you.
How could he be interested?
Don't push two people into marriage when you know nothing about them.
Grandma is about to start spouting some silly stuff.
Shush!
Si Ji, do you know what your biggest shortcoming is right now?
It's lacking initiative.
Sometimes, girls don't have to be so reserved.
You need to learn to play hard to get.
Do you know,
men are like a log of wood.
If you don't give a hint or indication to him, you will never get anywhere.
Grandma, I'm begging you.
That... didn't you tell me to go on a blind date?
- Yeah. - I'll go. I'll go tomorrow.
You say, you'll... I told you and tried to convince you to go before but you didn't.
Now just when Xiang Yang leaves, you finally listened.
Say, don't you all think Si Ji is trying to hide something?
Grandma, you spoke a bit too much today. I'm going to shower.
I think she is guilty of something.
I actually think that Older Sister and Xiang Yang are quite a good match.
Right!
I don't know how to answer that. But in my heart,
nobody is a good match for my Brother Xiang Yang.
What's wrong with Si Ji?
What about her is not a good match for Xiang Yang?
No, Grandma, I didn't mean that.
Our Si Ji and Xiang Yang, there can't be a better match.
Our Si Ji didn't wait until she became an old woman.
Listen to me, you lot,
our ultimate goal right now is to help our Si Ji
get Xiang Yang.
Understand?
Do you understand?
Yes.
Have you forgotten?
You promised me, that when we met again, we would meet with a smile and you'd treat me to a meal.
You can't possibly be Xiang Yang, right?
Long time no see, Tong Si Ji.
You still look like you do in my memories.
Don't get brainwashed by Grandma and become infatuated, got it?
Tong Si Ji, aren't you shameful?
What are you doing?
I am thinking.
Get down quickly.
If you do this, what will you do if you get a head rush?
Mum, I only did a handstand because my brain is lacking oxygen and I couldn't think.
Fine, fine, fine. Alright, alright.
Quickly, Mum cut some fruit especially for you.
It's for you to eat. Don't make trouble anymore.
Mum, you're still the best.
Mum only has you as my darling daughter.
If I'm not good to you, who will I be good to?
Stop with that.
Then why did you still ground me like Grandpa?
Grounded?
It's not as if you don't know about your Grandpa's personality.
As long as you think on it well and be obedient,
he will let you out.
I will definitely lower my head to your evil powers.
Fine, fine, fine.
Let me ask you a question.
When you and Xiang Yang were in England, what did you two do?
What could we do? We played.
Mum didn't mean that.
I'm asking...
You and Xiang Yang, both of you...
What do you mean?
Mum means, when you and Xiang Yang were both in England,
you stayed for so long,
did... nothing happen?
Mum! What are you thinking?! No!
It's impossible for me and Xiang Yang.
One hundred impossibles, ten thousand impossibles!
Moreover, he is just a log of wood.
Even if he was lit on fire,
he would only be able to make a tiny sound.
Hui Hui, Mum just wanted to understand you.
You know, that Grandpa wants Xiang Yang to be his grandson-in-law.
If Grandpa likes him so much, why doesn't he marry him himself?
Hui Hui!
Mum, this is my own life and my own love.
Don't think of controlling it for me.
You are this family's only heiress.
- In the future, the entire Fu Kang Foods will be... - In the future, the entire Fu Kang Foods will be handed to you.
If Uncle hadn't died so early,
Grandpa would have retired a long time ago.
Mum, how many hundreds of thousands of times have you said these words?
My ears are already growing moss.
But we're thinking for your future.
Future, future, future...
I don't even know if I have a future yet.
Cheng Hui Hui!
How could you talk like that?
Are you trying to make your mother die from anger?
Mum.
Alright, alright.
Mum, sit down.
Alright, I'm sorry.
I was wrong.
Mum, look at me, look at me.
Mum, I know you care about me.
But the daughter, that you hold in the palm of your hand
has already grown up.
Even if you're not reassured about her,
you still can't lock her up for the rest of her life, right?
You, you.
The gods just sent you here to make me angry, right?
I...
I am the little angel that the gods sent to you.
Mum, alright. Don't be angry, okay?
Did you not bring your keys again?
Xia Lin.
Why did you come?
What? Are you planning to make me stand here to talk?
Xia Lin, can you tell me,
what did I do wrong?
Nothing. You did nothing wrong.
Then why aren't you picking up my calls.
Look, after we came back from England,
- you've been hot and cold toward me-- - I'm not.
It's because I just came back, I'm feeling a bit unwell.
Unwell?
Then... did you eat something bad?
How about this, move to my house,
and I'll tell my chef to make good foods to nurture you.
Move to your house?
Do you want my Mum and Dad to skin you?
Then, look, this can't work, that can't work.
- Do you... - Jason, can you give me some more time?
After time has passed and I feel a bit better, I will come find you.
I...
I promise you.
After I feel better, I will take the initiative to contact you. Alright?
Grandpa, marriage needs to use love as a foundation.
I will definitely not accept these arrangements of yours.
Marriage is marriage,
it's not like you young people's
game of loving off and on..
I'm here making plans for your future.
I think Xiang Yang is the one most suitable for you.
Grandpa! If you keep forcing me like this,
- I will leave this house immediately! - Chen Hui Hui!
I am the head of this house. My decisions are final.
You're too illogical!
You—!
Why can't you disappear from my life?!
Stinking Grandpa. So annoying!

- Auntie, what are you doing? - The Master told me to watch you.
Oh, my. How high.
There's no other option.
Cheng Hui Hui, fighting!
This Hui Hui, seriously...
Why does she not understand my pain?
Maybe Hui Hui and I aren't really a suitable match.
If you're not suitable, then who will be suitable?
You understand Hui Hui the most.
You also understand that brat's personality the most.
I really don't know, apart from you,
who I can give Hui Hui to.
Could it be...
you don't like Hui Hui?
No, Grandpa. Your favors to me have been as great as a mountain.
I will never forget what I've promised you.
- It's just that... - It's just that you don't want to keep to our promise.
That's not it.
It's just that... I don't want to let Hui Hui suffer.
About Hui Hui, you don't need to worry.
I believe, that you're a person who follows promises.
That's why, I would give you my own granddaughter.
This child, really!
I'm free!
How come this child never grows up?
How about I bring her back?
Hey, hey. Come back.
Follow her quietly.
General Manager, good morning.
Is Guan Yu still unable to come to work today?
Assistant Guan called today to say, that he should be able to come before noon.
I only drink hot coffee.
Alright, I'll go change it now.
What is this?
I saw that General Manager's notebook was old and torn,
so I bought a new one to give to you.
Who told you to make decisions by yourself and change my things?!
It was... Assistant Guan told me to deliver your clothes to your house, so I...
You went into my room?!
You bastard, Guan Yu.
No wonder I smelled a foul-smelling perfume scent in my room.
I'm sorry, General Manager.
- I shouldn't have decided on my own, I— - No need.
You can leave.
Since Guan Yu can come to work in the afternoon,
there's no use for you to stay here.
I don't want the coffee anymore either.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, Xia Lin. Don't cry.
If you're like this, that means you've admitted defeat to him.
[Yi Lin, Liu
[Mr Yi Yi: The banquet is tonight, at the Gang Cheng International Hotel in Rong Hua Hall. Doors open at 20:30, starts at 21:00.]
He's going to attend the enterprises gathering banquet?
Hello? Mei Le Di,
help me get an enterprises gathering banquet invitation for me.
That's right.
I'll tell you the details when I get back.
Alright.
Bye.
Yi Yi, I must make you pay for the insults you've given me.
There will come a day when I make you kneel in front of my dress.
[Xi Store]
- Hello? - Hello, Si Ji.
This is Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang.
Are you busy?
No, I'm not busy.
It's nothing, I just wanted to call you to ask if you're well.
Oh, I'm well.
I'm quite well.
For you to call me,
- I... - Shopkeeper, one cappuccino.
Alright, I'll be there immediately.
Xiang Yang, I have a customer.
Don't hang up yet. I'll be done soon.
uh, Si Ji, I—I'm fine.
Go ahead with your work first. I'll call you later.
Okay, goodbye.
Cheng Hui Hui!
How weird.
It's already time.
Why is the person not here yet?
Oh, my. I'm so tired.
My ship-in-a-bottle!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose!
I'm sorry!
Don't run!
Do you know...
this is the order that I have to give to a customer today?
I spent five days finishing it!
Great! Now, it's been broken by you.
How much do you want? Just name a price, I'll pay you.
¥250!
Are you trying to bully me?!
I... only have ¥50.
Are you trying to play me?
You're paying me ¥50 after breaking my things?
I've already told you it wasn't on purpose.
Someone really was chasing me, that's why I bumped into you accidentally.
Someone was chasing you?
Who was chasing you? Stop trying to cheat me!
I'm telling you, if you won't pay me today,
I—I...
Can you swipe my card?
You're doing this on purpose, right?!
Fine, you're not paying? I'll call the police.
Hold this.
Here, look.
This is my phone number.
I really don't have anymore cash with me right now.
So, call me later, I'll pay you the rest. I'm going.
Hey, hey, hey! Wait!
H—hello? Miss Ye?
I'm really sorry.
The ship-in-a-bottle that you ordered
has been broken. I'm sorry.
[Emergency Center]
- Miao Miao, let's go eat. - No need, I'm busy.
Xiao Qiu, these are the records you wanted, as well as the blood test report.
Thank you.
If there is anything you need help with, just tell me.
Look, he's the popular intern that was handpicked by the Head Nurse.
A nurse has to even help him do something this small.
Is that right?
There are these kinds of people who try to take advantage of even the smallest things.
You're taking it out on other people because you're so unambitious, right?
Miao Miao is angry.
- Meow! - You—!
Miao Miao.
Let's have a talk outside. I have something to say.
Are you going to let them bully you like that?
It's fine. Let them say what they have to say.
I never take it to heart.
But I'm uncomfortable when I hear it.
I...
I'm going to go back to work.
I'm dead.
The Urban Management Officers are here! Run, quickly!
