♫ Love has a kind of ominous feeling ♫
When you are silent for a moment ♫
♫ Oh, I want to keep some yearning ♫
♫ for deeply sentimental attachment ♫
♫ but you simply turn a blind eye ♫
♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit ♫
♫ Perhaps it is you who is so capricious ♫
♫ accepting everything against your will ♫
♫ Why bothering justifying the right and the wrong? ♫
♫ And between me and you ♫
♫ there is no longer a past ♫
♫ Like the winter season ♫
♫ The heart, dropping to freezing point ♫
♫ Perhaps it is love's deceit ♫
♫ letting us drift and gradually father apart ♫
♫ And all that you said ♫
♫ Were only perfunctory excuses ♫

The Lover's Lies
Episode 12
This is also the Sales Department's new employee.
- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
This is Sales Department's manager, Wang Ma,
- your direct supervisor. - Welcome.
So Older Sister has always been in contact with Brother Xiang Yang.
Why is the person who was abandoned is me?
Did none of you ever try to find me?
Or have all you you chosen to forget me?
Manager.
Xia Lin.
This is for you.
Thank you, Manager.
If there's anything you don't know, ask me.
I'll tell you.
What are you all doing?
It's business hours, stop talking!
Tong Si Ji, what are you up to?
Your first day of work and you're already late?
I'm sorry, Manager. I...
What? Just because you were brought here by Director Xiang,
don't try to use that to your convenience.
I'm telling you, in this Sales Department,
I'm the one making the decisions. Nobody is privileged.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't have that intention.
If you didn't, then good.
Everybody is treated equally. Everyone has their own talents.
I understand.
Then... then what am I going to do now?
Come, Da Pei.
Tong Si Ji will be working with you.
Understand?
Sister Da Pei.
In the future, I'll trouble you for your care.
There's no need for me to take care of you, right?
Don't you have the Director's care?
Alright, go do your work. If you have nothing to do, then take the company's product documents
and take a closer look at it, understand it well.
Okay.
Xia Lin, we came on the same day. If there's something we don't know, let's help each other.
Are you alright now?
Just now, I saw that you were feeling unwell. Do you feel better now?
Tong... Tong Si Ji.
Just calling me Si Ji is fine.
Si Ji,
I heard, that something happened at home.
Yeah, my Grandma hurt her foot in the morning so I went back to see her.
Grandma?
Then, is your Grandma alright now?
She's fine now.
Hello?
Okay, I'll tell her to go now.
Tong Si Ji, the Manager said for you to go to the Manufacturing Department to get the crown series' conditioning package,
then bring it to the Meeting Room.
Sure, I'll go right now.
Hurry.
Sister Da Pei, Sister Da Pei. How could she be the one to do this kind of thing?
Doesn't the Sales Department have an assistant?
Don't you get it yet?
This is a war. The only ones who can fight
are Director Xiang and Manager Wang.
The ones who are fighting hand-to-hand with each other on the field, won't they be Tong Si Ji and that person?
This is going to be good.
[Meeting Room 2]
Director Wang, let me introduce you.
This is Xia Lin from the Sales Department.
Hello, Director Wang. I'm Xia Lin.
Manager Wang, your company's workers are getting increasingly more outstanding.
Xia Lin is a very competitive worker.
I also hope that you can take good care of her in the future.
Of course, of course, of course.
Okay, okay, okay.
Director Wang, please—
Tong Si Ji! What are you doing?!
- What's wrong with you?! - I'm so sorry!
I didn't do it on purpose. I'm so sorry.
Director Wang, I'm so sorry. Please wipe it down in the bathroom.
- Seriously. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Come, come, come, Director Wang.
Director Wang, I'm so sorry.
- Let's go take care of it. - I'm sorry, Director Wang.
Tong Si Ji, did your eyes grow on top of your head?!
Director Wang was standing right in front of you,
but you still poured it on him!
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, Manager.
I really didn't do it on purpose.
I'm telling you, if this deal is ruined, you don't need to come to work tomorrow.
Manager!
Hello?! What do you want?!
Tong Si Ji, are you speaking to me with that kind of attitude?
I'm so sorry, I—
Who was it that promised me in the beginning, that she would deliver coffee right to me with just my call?
It was me.
I'll give you 30 minutes to appear in front of me.
Hello?
What really happened? Find out for me.
Yes.
Director Wang, I'm so sorry.
The new employees do everything in such a reckless manner.
I hope that you won't take it to heart.
Come in.
Director Wang, this is the shirt that I bought for you with your measurements.
Try it on.
I really didn't think,
that you'd be so thoughtful about it all.
Director Wang, I'll send this to be washed immediately.
Otherwise, it will be stained.
She made it all over the place in the company on her first day at work.
In the first round, Xia Lin won.
Are you joking? The moment she came in, Manager Wang
immediately loosened his shirt and belt.
She's here.
Xia Lin, Director Wang didn't get mad, right?
You... are you alright?
I'm totally done for now.
Hey! Si Ji.
Xia Lin.
Do you have something to do later? How about we have dinner together tonight?
I'm sorry, I have something to do. How about another day?
- Sure, another day is fine too. - Then I'm going first.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
Xiao Chun, give me the coffee quickly.
What happened to your clothes?
Don't ask so much. I'll explain it to you when I get back.
I'm going to go.
Why do you look like you've been covered in blood from fighting on your first day at work?!
Be more careful!
I got it, I got it. Bye bye!
I'm sorry. I'm looking for your—
I'm sorry. I've come late.
You also know you were late? You're too late.
I know. But it was because something happened, I...
If you can't do something, then don't make promises so easily.
For example, like using coffee to replace your debt.
I'm sorry. Today was just an accident,
also, the company...
Anyway, I'll deliver the coffee to your desk before work tomorrow.
Your coffee.
Is he angry?
I really didn't do it on purpose.
Our General Manager is really hard to handle.
Next time, you should appear on time and in tidy attire.
Tidy attire...
I also didn't want it to be like this.
Hello.
This is a new design at our store. If you like, you can try it on.
How much does this outfit cost?
This design was loaned for a function. It's ¥695 after the discount.
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it. Thank you.
Director Xiang!
May I know if there's a reason for you to ask me to come?
It's my first day at work today, all thanks to Director's care.
- So... - I didn't do anything.
When did I take care of you?
What I meant was, I wanted to...
You want to get closer to your leaders?
Rather than spending these kinds of thoughts on your leaders,
why don't you spend it on your work?
If there are any other issues in the future, see me at the company.
I don't hope for what happened today to happen to someone else.
Brother Xiang Yang, I just wanted to know if you've been living well.
Have you thought of me?
Why did you, the one who promised me that you would come back, would go back on your promise?
General Manager Yi, the same spot?
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With the Shirt Team @ Viki
Waiter!
Coming.
Mr. Yi, is there something you would need?
Please tell the kitchen, there will be another person eating with me today.
Sure.
You dare to monitor me?!
Did you think I would have so much spare effort to monitor you?
Come in.
Come in!
Please enjoy.
You ordered so many dishes for yourself?
Aren't you worried about wasting?
It is because that I was worried about wasting, that I asked you to come in to help me finish them.
He's not going to make me pay the bill later because I didn't deliver his coffee today, is he?
Don't worry. I won't make you pay the bill.
Forget it. I'm not hungry anyway.
Moreover, this kind of restaurant isn't somewhere I should come either.
I don't care whether it is somewhere you should go.
I only care about not wasting these dishes. If they're wasted, it will be because of you.
How could that be alright?
How could you be like this?
You were obviously the one who ordered these dishes.
Are you going to eat or not?
Hurry and eat.
I won't hold back then.
It really isn't a dish for me.
What I meant was, it's really too delicious.
I come to this restaurant often so they're already familiar with me.
Every time when I come, I don't need to order my dishes anymore.
They will organize it all for me.
Why?
How good is it to order what you like to eat?
I know, this is what it means to not need to explain yourself.
Your lonely life is really too boring.
No wonder you need the unpredictable dishes to surprise you.
How do you know my life is boring?
If it wasn't boring, would you ask me to eat with you?
Can you buy a clean shirt and change our of this dirty shirt?
What woman is like you, not caring about their image and appearance?
Do you know it's really uncomfortable too see for other people?
If you're complaining that I'm uncomfortable to look at, you can choose to not look at me then.
You said that something happened in your family today. What happened?
I'm just really curious.
You're too odd for a woman.
Sometimes, you're a delivery person. Sometimes, you're the shopkeeper of a coffee truck.
A few days later, you've become a sales person.
You're also a divorced single mother.
Can't you live stably?
How do you know I'm not living stably?
Why do I not like hearing you saying this?
That's why, with how you are now,
wanting to eat but reluctant to eat, wanting to wear but reluctant to wear an outfit.
Are you living well like this?
Yes, I was a bit troubled today but I am living really freely.
Although I am owing you some money, there will be the day when I pay it back to you.
The sky won't fall down because I was unlucky today.
Also, a person isn't living well just because they're eating well and wearing nice clothes.
You're very wealthy, you're a person born with a golden spoon in your mouth.
But are you happy? Do you feel fulfilled?
Aren't you still eating here with a person with no relation to you?
Isn't it just because you're very lonely and want to find someone to talk to?
Otherwise, how many people would be lining up to eat with someone with status like you?
Would you have gone to the lengths to bicker with a woman, who's uncomfortable to look at?
And even wanting to hear about how a person like me has been doing?
It's only because you're very lonely, right?
Xiao Qiu, tell Xiao Chun to bring dumplings back here later!
I got it.
[He Hua Noodle Shop]
A plate of pork stuffed dumplings done!
It's mine, it's mine.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
- You're back? - Brother Xiao Chun, you should go back first.
Hui Hui told you to bring dumplings back to her.
Can't she come to eat by herself if she's hungry?
Welcome, pretty girl. What would you like to eat?
Hey, hey, Xiao Chun. How much is it?
¥20, Brother Chen.
Thanks. Come again.
Why did you splash me? Did you come to catch fish or did you come to splash people?
I didn't do it on purpose.
Splash you.
- Hurry and go back. Hui Hui is hungry. - Okay.
I'll leave this place in your hands then.
- I'll come back a bit later. - Okay.
Oh, right. Pretty girl, what would you like to eat?
I'll have a small plate of pork stuffed dumplings, please.
Alright, a small plate of pork stuffed dumplings. I'll ask this handsome man to make it for you.
- I'll hand it over to you. - Go.
Pretty girl, please wait a while.
Xiao Xia, Xiao Qiu, both of you are twins,
you need to help each other.
Xiao Xia has a lot of wicked ideas.
Xiao Qiu, you need to watch Xiao Xia often.
Your dumplings are done, pretty girl.
Your dumplings are done.
Are you alright?
Y—you... is something wrong?
Who was she?
Grandma, I'm back.
Si Ji, your... your shirt, what happened?
Sister Si Ji, did you fall into the sewer?
No, I accidentally tipped something and got it on my shirt.
You dirtied your clothes already on the first day?
Then find a clean one to change into.
It's fine, it'll be alright after a wash.
You became like this the first day you entered the company.
Si Ji, you were introduced into the company by Xiang Yang.
You should at least be more considerate to his dignity.
This way, hurry and buy some new clothes after you get your salary this month.
Grandma, I already have enough clothes.
Also, they're keeping watch on our capabilities, not appearance.
Then you should still keep up your appearance more.
You're a girl, you should at least invest in yourself more.
What's the rate of return on an investment like this one?
Alright, I'm stopping here. I'm going to go shower.
Right, Older Sister.
When you went to see the long term customer,
who were you meeting up with?
Long term customer?
It's just this one person...
Nothing.
I'm going to go shower first.
What long term customer?
I—I don't know either.
It's just, that she went to personally deliver coffee at the Yuan Xian Department Store today.
Yuan Xian Department Store?
Does Xiang Yang have a rival now?
Xiang Yang? Rival?
What is going on?
Not only that, she is indeed a bit suspicious.
A couple of days ago, I saw her with a man by our door,
she cornered him right into the wall.
Cornering...?
Cornered... it's like this.
Get away!
Brat, get away from me!
Grandma, I was just acting it out for you.
Why are you hitting me?
Tong Xiao Chun, you're too funny!
You cornered Grandma He Hua!
Don't you have any sympathy?
Stop laughing!
Also, a person isn't living well just because they're eating well and wearing nice clothes.
You're very wealthy, you're a person born with a golden spoon in your mouth. But are you happy?
Do you feel fulfilled?
Aren't you still eating here with a person with no relation to you?
Isn't it just because you're very lonely and want to find someone to talk to?
Otherwise, how many people would be lining up to eat with someone with status like you?
Would you have gone to the lengths to bicker with a woman, who's uncomfortable to look at?
It's only because you're very lonely, right?
Maybe you're right.
Only, people sometimes feel lonely because they're standing too high.
Sometimes, they feel brave but they're restricted by their situations.
I'll send Niu back first then rush back here for work?
Be careful on the way.
I'm going to go then.
It's my first day at work today, all thanks to Director's care.
- So... - I didn't do anything. When did I take care of you?
What I meant was, I wanted to...
You want to get closer to your leaders?
Rather than spending these kinds of thoughts on your leaders,
why don't you spend it on your work?
If there are any other issues in the future, see me at the company.
Xia Lin
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
Mei Le Di.
I went to see Xiang Yang.
But he's already forgotten me.
Xia Lin.
Looks like they all forgot about me.
It's okay. It's okay.
You still have me.
Older Sister, who is your long term customer at Yuan Xian?
How mysterious, even I don't know who it is.
An insignificant person. It's not even worth it to mention him.
An insignificant person?
Is it worth it for you to go all this way every day for him?
You wouldn't have... gotten a boyfriend in secret, right?
Boyfriend, your head!
It's only because...
I say, have you learned this kind of bad habit from Grandma?
You keep selling me out every time. Alright,
I'm leaving.
You can leave, don't wait for me. I can get to work by myself.
She is definitely guilty.
I'm so sorry. Our General Manager is still not here yet.
It's ok, I'll wait for a little bit.
Hello. How are you? I'm Tong Si Ji.
Hello, I'm Li Ruo Han.
- Ruo Han? - I'm sorry, I haven't contacted you during this time.
It's just coincidentally, that I have something to do next week in the area that you live.
I was thinking that we could meet up.
That way, you don't have to come all the way here.
Okay, okay. I'll wait for you to come.
Don't forget to contact me.
Alright. Bye-bye.
Yes!
Isn't that the Coffee Ambassador?
What is she so happy about?
Yi Yi, I have to go to work soon.
I came to deliver the coffee for you. Here.
You don't have to repay me for the car repair anymore.
You don't have to deliver coffee in the future either.
You can give this to me
Wait. What did he mean? What about the money?
Don't worry.
Our General Manager won't possibly haggle over that small amount of money with you.
Even if he doesn't want to haggle over that with me, I still don't want to owe him anything.
There is also my younger sister's settlement fee.
Settlement fee?
How about this, please tell him for me,
I'm unable to pay all of the money back to him at once at this moment,
but I can pay him back month by month.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Settlement fee?
What settlement fee?
What else is there that I don't know about between General Manager and Coffee Ambassador?
This man... what's wrong with him?
That day, didn't he also pay for my meal?
"Must eat with sauce"?
Tong Si Ji and Tong Xiao Chun were originally both the company's taste-testers.
In the end, because of Xiang Yang's recommendation,
Tong Si Ji entered the Sales Department and took on the job of a salesperson.
How does Xiang Yang know Tong Si Ji?
About this... I'm not quite sure yet.
But I will keep searching.
Has Xia Lin and Tong Si Ji recognized each other yet?
Not yet. According to what I know, Xia Lin has not recognized her yet.
Tong Si Ji may not know that Xia Lin is Tong Xiao Xia.
But Xia Lin would recognize Tong Si Ji.
I'm guessing, that Xia Lin just doesn't want to recognize Tong Si Ji.
Because if she was willing to, it's not hard to find Tong Si Ji.
But she's living with the name, Xia Lin.
This is enough to prove, that she doesn't want to go back to live with the Tong family.
It looks like this Xia Lin has a bit of a cunning side.
Though right now, Cheng Ding Xiong does not know
that Tong Si Ji is Cheng Kang Sheng's biological daughter.
But, as long as Tong Si Ji is still at Fu Kang Foods,
it is a threat to me.
You need to think of a way to quickly make Tong Si Ji disappear from Fu Kang Foods.
Everything that Cheng Ding Xiong took away from my father's hands,
I must take it all back.
Yes, I am Xia Lin from Fu Kang Foods.
Is it alright for me to go get the renewal contract this afternoon?
Director Wang still hasn't signed the contract yet. He may be unsure about some of its contents.
Because it's a renewal contract, I created it using the original contract as a guideline.
Which condition is Director Wang unsure about?
I'm not too sure about that.
If Director Wang tells me, I'll contact you again.
Sure, thank you.
He should be willing to renew the contract.
Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Gone With the Shirt Team @ Viki
Then, when will Manager Xiao come back?
Next month?
It's alright, we can wait.
Next month on the 11th?
Alright. Alright.
Thank you.
What happened?
I've called all of the numbers in the directory that Sister Da Pei gave me.
But I still haven't come across one customer.
Actually, working in the Sales Department,
don't expect any of the seniors to teach you anything.
If they taught you well, they won't have anywhere to stand, right?
The workforce is that real.
Why?
No matter what, I still won't steal my seniors' customers.
That's what you think. They won't stay unprotected.
Between workers, can't we be sincere towards each other like family?
Sincere?
Do you think this is a fairy tale?
Is there no misunderstandings or safeguarding between each other in a family?
The reality in life is that, sometimes even family would betray each other.
Xia Lin, why would you think that?
Because I've experienced it.
Secretary Zhao, were you looking for me?
Is there a salesperson, named Tong Si Ji, in your department?
Are you talking about the Tong Si Ji introduced by Director Xiang?
What's wrong?
She's still in her probationary period, right?
Yes.
Think of a way to get her to leave.
Why? It's the General Manager's command.
Why are you asking so much? Just do it.
Yes. Yes.
Do it cleanly.
Got it?
Understood. Understood.
Could it be because Tong Si Ji is one of Director Xiang's people?
So...
Come in.
- Xia Lin. Sit. - Manager, you asked for me?
Xia Lin, for Director Wang's contract,
- you have to speed it up. - Sure.
The higher-ups already said, among your group of new employees, only one can stay.
Xia Lin, you're smart, you can probably tell
that the company has its own cliques.
To say it more clearly, Director Xiang and I are not people on the same side.
That's why, between his person and my person, only one can stay.
Xia Lin, there are many times
when we need to step on other people's corpses to climb up.
Do you understand what I mean?
Tong Si Ji, without my help,
will not be able to prevail.
When the time comes, the person who can't stay will definitely be the one who has made no contributions to the company.
Understand?
Si Ji.
Xiang Yang.
Director Xiang.
Is Grandmother's foot better?
It's much better. She's fine.
Are you used to working here?
It's alright.
Do you care about each worker this much?
I mean...
I don't really mean anything.
You came here by my recommendation. So of course, I would hope for you to work well here,
and achieve great results. That would be good for my reputation too.
It's almost lunchtime, let's go eat.
Sure, sure, sure.
I'm pretty hungry as well, let's go together.
Let's go.
Looks good.
- This is yours. - Okay.
Be careful it's hot.
Storeowner! Do you have ice water?
Here, have some iced water.
Am I eating the soup dumpling or is the soup dumpling eating me?
Does it still hurt?
I'm good.
What a foodie. Didn't I tell you to be careful?
I got greedy for a moment.
Eat carefully.
General Manager! This is bad!
Why are you so anxious? What's bad?
General Manager, Business, Marketing, Customer Service, Planning, and Operations.
All the Deputy Directors from these five departments have suddenly proposed resigning!
Right now, all of the departments have no leader. They're all a mess!
Look.
C-C-Chairman.
Can you tell me, what the reason for this is?
Improvement is only possible through competition.
This concept is right.
That's why, I don't blame you for this.
But, you're too young. You don't know how to leave space for other people.
Think about it, those people are all your seniors.
You were so inconsiderate of them at the meeting,
how did you think they would all stay and obey you?
Dad, every plan that I have done
was decided on after I'd examined it numerous times.
Say, as a general, without any supporting soldiers beneath me,
how could I go on fighting in the battle field?
One must convince someone for their loyalty. If you can't keep their hearts,
then you'll lose all your battles, even if you're the mightiest.
That's why, if they don't support or trust me,
why should I keep them?
It's difficult for a single tree to go against a whole forest.
Without you alone, Yuan Xian can still operate really well.
But, without those uncles and seniors of yours,
the situation will be vastly different.
Especially for the workers at the lower levels,
their performance is based on the Deputy Director's reputation,
it's not on yours, Yi Yi.
Once they leave Yuan Xian, what we will lose
is not just be a few Deputy Directors,
it will be the numerous workers on the production line.
These past few days, I've been personally visiting them,
to ask them to come back.
You should also think thoroughly about it.
- Don't be too arrogant. - No need.
Dad.
I was the one who angered these uncles and seniors,
as my responsibility, I should visit them.
Are you Miss Xia Lin?
Director Wang wanted to give you this.
- Thank you. - Welcome.
[After you finish eating, come up.]
Hello?
Director Wang, I've already ordered the dishes in the restaurant on the first floor.
If you have the time then come down
I have something to do later.
Isn't it just to get a contract?
It won't take much of your time.
Director Wang, I don't think it's quite right for me to go upstairs.
Xia Lin.
Who do you see me as now?
I'm telling you, I've already signed the contract.
You can decide whether you want to come up to get it or not.
Director Wang...
Don't you have the room key card?
Let yourself in.
Ba-by!
Baby?
Are you calling me?
You—
How did you...?
