(My True Friend)
(Episode 2)
Could you let me know before coming here?
Please respect my privacy.
Okay?
What else do you want to say?
Nothing to say.
Prepare for it.
I'll ask Mu Yun Ping﻿ to arrange you to work in the company.
If you fail to be a student,
then start to work from the beginning.
This university...
doesn't suit me.
If you spend some money and help me switch to another university,
maybe I can study well.
Your school life is over.
You can't stop it.
It's because the major that I'm studying...
doesn't suit me.
If I study literature,
art...
or...
What do you think if I study literature?
Look,
you make money for our family.
We make a good living.
And I study literature...
to improve our family's spirit.
How does it sound?
Peng Cheng.
Are you mad at me?
Because of your mom?
Shut up.
You have no rights to mention her.
Your mom passed away,
that was an accident.
The day she died was your wedding anniversary.
Why didn't you stay by her side?
If you were with her on that day,
she wouldn't go diving...
and the accident wouldn't happen.
Have you ever thought of...
how much pain she was in...
the moment the accident happened?
How desperate she was?
I'm sorry.
I feel regret about her too.
Don't say it.
When you say so,
it's already too late.
Just remember,
the day you married Mom,
it was the day she died.
Don't forget about it.
It's always in my mind.
A lot of things...
just don't work the way as you think.
I know how devastated you are...
since your mom passed away three years ago.
But I can't just leave you alone...
and see you behave like this.
No matter how much bias you have towards me,
and the misunderstandings that you have about me,
I'm your father after all.
I really want to know...
what your future plan is.
Can we just let go of the grief,
have a heart-to-heart talk...
between a father and a son?
I'm ignorant and incompetent.
I can't inherit your business.
I don't have any plans for future either.
Just let it be.
Are you punishing me...
with your life?
I can't see you live like this.
I'll ask Mu Yun Ping...
to arrange you some work tomorrow.
(Grateful to Have You)
You have no rights to mention her.
The people around you,
all of them,
they think you are discreet and thoughtful.
You are considerate of your employees.
But why don't I feel the same?
Mom...
was just your wife nominally.
Look...
how busy you were all day long,
Have you ever considered her feeling?
No.
In my eyes,
my mom...
was just a not-so-important...
existence.
I think I can only befriend...
with instant food.
Sincerely,
please accept my apologies.
I was immersed in the functionality of the design...
and did not consider the human factor.
This is my biggest failure.
Thank you for pointing that out.
I hope we can continue to communicate.
"I hope we can continue to communicate?"
Does this mean that...
I can continue to communicate with him?
What now, Cheng Zhen Zhen?
You can't just stay at home like this.
You need to get a job.
If you have a job, then you can meet your idol.
(Job search)
I must get myself together.
Today is my lucky day!
(Application)
Who is that?
Can you come any earlier?
So annoying.
The chairman said...
that he will respect your wishes.
He will not communicate with you directly.
If there's anything, I will convey his message.
That's great news.
The chairman also said that you're now an adult.
He has no obligation to keep supporting you.
From tomorrow onward, he won't put money in your card.
He will also take back the Land Rover.
This is the bill.
Besides the expenses for your education...
and your basic cost of living,
there are expenses for entertainment, travel,
social, hobbies,
and your toys.
the total amount you spent is 1.32 million dollars.
In Chinese yuan, that'd be 8.32 million and 1940 yuan.
If you want to be free from your father's control,
you have to pay the debts that have been mentioned.
It must have been troublesome for both of you...
to total up the debts.
Fine, no problem. Tell Shao Jian...
that I will pay him back the money.
Since you're going to pay back the money,
I'll give you two options.
If you were to look for a job now,
being a university dropout with no working experience,
your monthly salary will be 722 dollars at most.
I've calculated it for you.
To pay back 1.32 million dollars,
you'd need at least 138.699 years.
Even if there's an increase...
in your annual salary,
you'd still need 50 years.
What are you saying?
Are you looking down on me? You don't think I can pay it back?
Don't panic. It's just a suggestion. There's another one.
You can work at Love and Family.
According to the current ratio of intermediary sale,
you only need to make 21 sales worth 2.89 million dollars each.
Then, you'd be able to repay all your debts.
The chairman has selected a store for you.
Hua Yuan Store. The store's information is on here.
The chairman is serious this time.
So I hope you will think about this.
I know that having to become an agent...
is difficult for you.
But for now, this is your best option.
Work starts at 9 in the morning.
Report to work on time.
The chairman also said...
you can continue living in this house.
A spot with good Feng Shui.
Southwest corner?
Northwest corner?
Northwest corner, it is.
- Sister Li. - Mei Li.
Hao Mei Li. How many times must I tell you?
Don't call me sister.
Hao Mei Li.
You're relax for someone who wants to become store manager.
I heard that the headquarter is shutting us down.
Who did you hear saying that?
Well, it's...
Don't listen to rumors.
Listen to me, Xiao Ning.
- Hi, Mr. Mu. - Hi. Mr. Mu.
Don't rush.
- Hi, Mr. Mu. - Hi, Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu, what are your instructions?
Mr. Mu, did you come to our store...
because you have an important announcement?
Everyone, please stop what you're doing.
I have an important announcement.
This is Zeng Hui Min,
our company's best store manager.
She'll become Hua Yuan's store manager starting today.
Our company transfers Ms. Zeng over here...
is because they value Hua Yuan Store.
I hope that with the leadership of Ms. Zeng,
all of you will work together and achieve success.
- Sure. - Sure.
Mr. Mu, the position of store manager...
has always been chosen within the store.
Now that you're doing it like this,
isn't it not in accordance with the rules?
Hua Mei Li.
You know Hua Yuan Store's situation now.
Ms. Zeng is willing to be transferred here...
and take over this problem.
So all of you should thank her.
Interview notice of...
Hua Yuen Store?
I...
Everyone, I'm looking for those who have recently bought a villa.
Don't talk to me if you bought it for less than 4.33 million dollars.
He's personally selling his house. It's daylight robbery.
Let's see if Young Master Shao can persist for three days.
Aren't we the ones selling it?
These bunch of people...
call themselves my friends.
I'll have you sell houses for me.
You act like it's a big deal.
You're too polite.
What a warm welcome. My goodness.
I'm so embarrassed now.
Sir.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Welcome! - Welcome.
Are you looking to buy or sell property?
Whatever your needs,
Hua Yuan Store...
of Love and Family will be happy to serve you.
I'm not buying property. I'm here to work.
- What? - I'm here to work.
- They dance so well. - He's here to work.
Are you Shao Peng Cheng?
I'm store manager, Zeng Hui Min.
You're the store manager? Thank you so much.
I didn't expect such a warm welcome.
What were you thinking?
14 dollars penalty for being 30 minutes late.
What? 14 dollars penalty for being 30 minutes late?
That's not for you to worry.
Anyway, you'll receive the penalty notice after work.
Now, hurry and do the Money Dance with me.
No, wait.
You weren't dancing to welcome me?
We do the Money Dance after our morning meeting.
Who will dance with you? You're really something.
- Come back. - What?
Don't say I didn't remind you.
14 dollars penalty for being late.
72 dollars penalty for skipping Money Dance.
86 dollars will be deducted from your salary.
- You're Store Manager Zeng, right? - Yes.
Do you use the penalty system...
to manage your subordinates? Fine.
Deduct my salary then. I don't earn that much anyway.
Deduct all of them, and don't just deduct mine.
Deduct the salary of those at the back.
Let the store shut down.
Everyone will go back where they came from.
You don't have to worry about my business.
If I can't handle my staff,
I wouldn't be a gold medal store manager.
Never say things like that.
There's always an exception.
You're right.
There's indeed always an exception.
Meeting clients is the exception.
If you are meeting clients,
you can come to work late.
You can skip the Money Dance but the question is...
do you have any clients?
Do you?
Do you see this?
This is a client.
Let me tell you, if you want to keep Hua Yuan Store,
you'd better treat me well.
I hope that's true.
You look like someone...
who's turned over a new leaf.
You know...
that I promised Xiao Mei...
that I'd give this house to her.
But our relationship is at risk now.
If I ask her to leave, she'd cry,
make a fuss and ask for breakup money.
So I need your help.
You'll say that my father sent you to sell this house.
I'll make her move out.
When she moves out, I'll break up with her.
About the house,
I'll pay you according to the market rate.
I'll won't pay a penny less.
I like your idea.
What you're saying is that dating is mutual.
Both parties are just playing their parts.
Why must you pay when you break up? Is that it?
You're smart. So when do we sign the agreement?
I'm sorry. But I can't take part...
in your little game.
Why?
You don't need to act. I will do all the acting.
This drama is horrible and the plot has no limit.
Even if it's only acting,
I feel disgusted.
Goodbye.
Are you crazy, Shao Peng Cheng?
Among us, are we any better than one another?
You showed up at work one day...
and you think you're a hardworking and diligent youth?
- Here, this way. - Move to the left.
- Move up. - You use so much energy...
to paste the rules.
Can't the left side be moved down?
All right.
Move the left side down.
- Isn't this just right? - Move the left side down.
Is this all right?
The rules are not here for show.
You must take each rule to heart.
Hi.
I'm looking for the store manager.
That's me.
I'm here for a job interview.
- You must be Cheng Zhen Zhen. - Yes.
Have a seat.
Hi, this is my resume.
I've read it so you don't have to introduce yourself.
Why do want to be a real estate agent?
It's like this.
I know that real estate agent is not an admirable job.
But I hope that by working hard,
I can provide the best property shopping experience...
to Hua Yuan Store's clients.
For me, a house...
is not merely a shelter from wind and rain.
It's a place where people yearn for home.
So I hope to find a warm and suitable home...
for each and every client.
That's nice.
But that's just empty talk.
I don't like empty talks.
Why did you leave your last job?
Mu Yun Ping.
Why are you here? Are you monitoring me?
Tell your chairman not to be reluctant to let me go...
when I resign
I will wait and see.
You lost your job because you're too responsible?
It's not like that.
I didn't handle it well.
You made yourself sound like a hero.
You didn't solve the client's problems after all.
Is it settled now? Is the client happy?
Being in the real estate industry,
we're not supposed to lie, but we can't be too honest.
I've heard your story but I'm sorry.
Mr. Mu.
Why is it you again?
You two know each other?
No. I'll leave first.
Mr. Mu, you come in twice a day.
Are you worried about Hua Yuan Store?
I used to worry,
but now I'm confident about it.
Come.
If you want me to stay here,
make that lady stay, too.
Don't ask me why. Just get it done.
Ms. Zeng, I believe the store is employing now.
I heard your conversation earlier.
I think the lady has the experience and passion for this job.
I suggest you to employ her on a three-month probation.
She can be Xiao Shao's partner.
They're both newcomers so they'll learn from one another.
You can decide whether to hire her based on her performance.
I understand.
Xiao Shao.
You must learn from Ms. Zeng.
Don't waste your youth on useless things.
How am I wasting my youth?
I've learned a lot from Ms. Zeng.
She said you can't be stubborn in the real estate industry.
You can't try to be a hero.
You can't have a limit, am I right?
Shao Peng Cheng, you have a problem with me?
Why don't you say it in front of Mr. Mu?
Why would I have a problem with you?
I was complimenting you.
Mr. Mu, I'll get to work.
All right.
Be honest with me. Do you like the lady earlier?
Thank you.
(Acceptance message)
Yes!
Ms. Zeng, thank you for hiring me.
Since you're hired, do a good job.
I hope you settle in soon.
I'll do my best.
Your workplace is over there.
Number five.
Do you know why I made you stay?
Why?
Because you're silly.
How old are you?
Do you have a boyfriend?
Don't talk to me or disturb me while I work.
Watch your attitude. Remember, you still owe me money.
What are you doing? Don't touch my laptop.
Starting today, you two will work as partners,
Hand all of these out today.
This is a pedometer.
Don't come back if you haven't given them away or walked 30,000 steps.
- 30,000 steps? - You have a problem with that?
Ms. Zeng, I'll complete my task.
Lady, are you out of your mind?
Why didn't you tell me that you're working here?
How can there be such a coincidence?
The world is an amazing place.
It knows that you owe me money.
So I'm sent to watch you earn money and pay me back.
Are you rich?
Why do you become a real estate agent?
You have too many questions.
Starting today, be a good partner.
Work to repay your debts.
Why do I have to give out so many flyers?
I'm not your follower.
It's because you're silly.
What are you talking about?
Sir, look at some properties.
Are you looking to buy or sell property?
- Miss, look at some properties. - No need.
Sir, we have very good properties.
- These are good properties. - I'm sorry.
- Have a look. - No, thanks.
Please have a look.
You can rent or buy properties. Thank you.
- You girls want to buy properties. - No, thanks.
We have prime properties. They're really good.
Hi, madam.
I'm from Love and Family's Hua Yuan Store.
You're a scammer.
Madam, why do you say that?
Do I look like a scammer?
I know people from Hua Yuan Store.
You are dressed differently...
- from the staff. - Smile,
like blossoming flowers.
Madam, how could you say that?
I'm promoting real estate to you.
Why did you judge me based on my clothes?
What are you doing?
Enter the real estate viewing information.
This type of job is not for me.
What kind of job is for you?
I guess you only know how to fool around.
If you say so, we'll split the work today.
Things like calculation of repayment...
and persuading clients to buy properties...
will be done by me.
Things like property viewing...
and menial tasks like inputting data...
will be done by you.
Wait.
You give out the rest of them yourself.
Low-level of thinking.
Bad-tempered working style...
lowers efficiency.
Then show me high-level thinking.
Pretty lady.
Are you by yourself? May I take a seat?
- Please. - Thank you.
I see that you're drinking coffee. Do you work around here?
Don't worry about this. I'll pay for it.
Thank you.
Since you're working around here,
do you want to know about the housing nearby?
If you work nearby,
and you also stay in the same area,
it would be convenient, right?
Our property prices...
are low. I can give you a discount.
If you are staying alone,
wait...
Pretty lady, I'm not done yet.
That was embarrassing.
Look at yourself.
You're flirting when you have such small eyes.
Have some self-awareness.
She just came but there's already internal conflict.
I'll tell you this.
She'll have to leave soon.
We'll respond to the headquarter's call...
for our staff to have a business knowledge assessment.
I'll give you one day's time...
to review the usual theoretical knowledge.
The exam will be the day after tomorrow.
What exam? Why is the headquarter...
doing this sort of thing? So hilarious.
Those who fail will have their salaries deducted.
I know what you're doing.
She's doing this to us on purpose.
We're newcomers. We don't know the theoretical knowledge.
We won't do well on the exam, right?
Speak for yourself.
I'm doing this to you.
You're still eating. What are you thinking?
All of you must prepare, too.
Dismiss.
You're reading up on it already?
You're really silly.
You really think that you can memorize all of it in one day?
Drop the act. Come and have lunch with me.
I'm not going.
Don't fool around. You should do your revision.
What for?
Listen.
For a genius,
revision is unnecessary.
Just go grab your lunch.
Don't drag me down with you.
Sir.
Have a look at some properties.
Have a look at some properties. Thank you.
Have a look at some properties.
Sir, have a look at some properties.
Thank you.
You must be new. I've never seen you before.
I just joined a few days ago.
Sir, are you looking to buy or rent houses?
I want to rent a house.
Rent? That's great.
These are all houses that are for rent.
Do you have any special needs?
If you have time, please come over to our store.
I'll explain it to you in detail.
I have to go meet a client now.
- Here's my name card. - Okay.
I'll go over there later.
Mr. Lu.
You're a trainer.
I develop programs for new employees.
That's great. Mr. Lu,
would it be convenient for you to come to our store at 3pm?
Sure, 3pm it is.
Okay.
I'll see you at the store at 3pm.
I brought an old client to see three apartments.
He likes one of them.
He would probably buy it within a week.
I received a small apartment, good location, easy to sell.
If he comes,
I will change my last name to yours, Zhen Zhen.
Don't call me Zhen Zhen.
What are you both doing?
We are having a meeting! Be serious!
Manager.
I gave out 2,000 leaflets today...
and made an appointment with a client...
to meet at the office in the afternoon.
But he is still not here.
Did you call him?
I did.
But the number on the business card seems wrong.
I called and it showed the number doesn't exist.
Doesn't exist?
But I believe he will come tomorrow.
Yes, he will definitely come.
The guy has to pay her back.
Pay her back?
Did you borrow money to a stranger?
He said he didn't have cash with him.
The coffee shop he went didn't accept electronic payment.
It only accepts cash.
I forgot to bring my wallet and my phone is almost out of battery.
So...
So I want to borrow...
Sir, look.
I only have 28 dollars with me now, is it enough?
That should be enough.
The name of the coffee shop...
is "The Past is Far".
it emphasizes slow living, very artistic.
I'm late, I have to meet my clients.
I will pay you back this afternoon.
Sure, we will meet at 3pm at the office.
- No problem. - Okay. See you, sir.
Is there a coffee shop near our office called...
"The Past is Far"?
Sorry, I...
I have never heard of "The Past Is Far".
I only know your money has gone far.
You're such a silly girl.
If he really needed cash,
he could use his cell phone...
and transfer the money to you first.
Then you will give him the cash, right?
Forget it.
I'm just doing a good deed with that 28 dollars.
Yes, I appreciate your attitude.
Money is not important.
Take a lesson from it.
The most important thing is that it left you an unforgettable memory.
- Shao Peng Cheng. - Yes?
Where is your pedometer? Show me.
Oh my goodness.
I had a heat stroke.
I vomited all day.
I was afraid of causing our company trouble.
I fainted, so I didn't walk.
Shao Peng Cheng, Listen.
You'll have to walk 60,000 steps or give out 6,000 leaflets tomorrow.
What?
Unit construction area equals to unit floor area...
plus unit wall area,
plus unit balcony area.
Unit floor area...
balcony area.
Area calculation error.
What? Talk to me.
Shao Peng Cheng, have you done your revision yet?
I'm reading that book,
the content is very complicated and difficult.
You called just because of this?
Are you playing games?
What can I do if I don't play games?
Just tell me. I'm playing Fight The Landlord.
- Can you just read the book? - Bye.
Hello?
You think I'm a fool? I would play games at this time?
Cheng Zhen Zhen, just wait.
I will give you a surprise tomorrow.
Two people in a group. Besides theoretical knowledge,
I will also see how your cooperation skills are.
Think carefully who will be your teammate.
I'm with Cheng Zhen Zhen, we are newcomers.
Manager, I don't want to team up with him.
Why is that?
Why should I team up with you?
That's cool, the newcomers are in a group.
We old employees are in a group.
I'm not old, you are old. I'm a young man.
Stop, maybe the newcomers are better.
Shut up, stop.
What are you doing?
Let's start.
The first question.
When you arrive at office every day,
what's the first thing you should do?
The first thing is...
to put all the house information...
on a housing website.
It has all housing sources.
In a nutshell, the site is an excellent tool...
to improve our business performance.
What about VR showrooms?
VR showrooms...
let the clients see the house in three dimensions,
and get to know the house in detail.
Through mobile application, they can get...
the real information and status of the house.
You are so smart.
How did you get property tax and policy correct?
It's too complicated.
I know everything under the sun without stepping outside.
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 own 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
All these memories won't be erased
My love for you will never fade
Hey I know you know
Our hearts getting close
We can't deny it's real
All my life searching
Now I know, I found you
The moment you whisper in my ears
I hear my heart racing on
Then I know, love is here
I see you in my future
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
All these memories won't be erased
My love for you will never fade
Hey, I know you know
Our hearts getting close
I'm falling in love little by little
People come and people go
You are the one I won't ever let go
Cause I know you know
Our hearts getting close
We can't deny, it's real
All my life searching
Now I know, I found you
Hey, I know you know
Our hearts getting close
I'm falling in love little by little
People come and people go
You are the one I won't ever let go
Cause I know you know
Our hearts getting close
We can't deny it's real
All my life searching
Now I know, I found you
