Ten Years Late
Episode 5
Hello?
Mr. Zhao, bad news.
Something happened in the company.
Calm down. Speak slowly.
Yuan Lai is bullied by Bob.
What?
I’m on my way.
Come in.
You are...
Hello.
I’m Zhao Chengzhi, the legal representative of Feitu Travel.
Our firm is responsible for
all legal affairs of your company.
I’m Bob.
Nice to meet you.
Please have a seat.
This is my card.
Oh, I… I want to consult you
about one thing.
A manager
in our company wronged me.
I want to sue her.
Sue her for defamation?
Yes. That’s right.
Defamation refers to
the behavior of fabricating and disseminating false facts
that are enough to demean others
and destroy their reputations.
seriously.
Yeah. Yeah.
That’s it. You're a pro.
What is it called?
Defamation, right?
I must sue her.
Otherwise,
how could I still work here?
I did come here to bring you the lawyer’s letter.
But my client isn’t you.
You're giving me the letter?
Have a look.
On behalf of
my client Miss Yuan Lai,
I’m giving you this letter.
In the letter,
the facts and consequences are clearly stated.
Hope you can mind your behavior.
If you keep spreading rumors
that cause damage to my client’s reputation,
we’ll take legal means
according to the content
in the letter you received.
Are we clear?
Have a good day.
Wait.
Stop right there.
How much did Yuan Lai pay you
that you’re willing to be her lackey?
Remember to rush it.
Show some respect.
That sentence alone
is enough for me to sue you.
Believe it or not.
Chengzhi,
what are you doing here?
I heard you were bullied,
so I came to uphold justice.
I also prepared an official letter
and gave it to your colleague.
You two are in cahoots.
You can’t be clean.
Look, everyone,
a lawyer beat me!
Come here.
A lawyer beat me!
Our legal counselor hit me!
Shut up!
Chengzhi.
No need to waste time on him.
Don’t think you can get your way
just because you have a lawyer friend.
Let’s wait and see.
Why did Jin Ran
still keep a scum like him?
Jin Ran
may not be the same person
we knew before.
I come to this street without consciousness
I recall the past
I hope we can meet again
Since I miss you so much
Many people become mature with time
What are you doing?
I’m happy.
Why?
Because you're my boyfriend now.
Of course, I’m happy.
Lower your voice.
Everyone in the café can hear you.
I want everyone in the world to know
that Jin Ran is my boyfriend!
Keep it low,
OK?
I thought I could forget you
We...we’re in a café.
The past is like smoke so that I miss it
I miss your past
Americano, please.
That I owned
Isn’t it late for coffee?
Can you still sleep after that?
Why are you here?
I came to visit Gu Yang
but he went out.
He texted me to take care the shop for him.
You’re nostalgic.
I still remember you, don’t I?
I’d rather you not.
We are no longer
whom we used to be.
Yuan Lai.
But we are still
Like before
Yuan Lai,
I remember
everything in the past.
I recall the past
The is the prism you lost.
With you
A prism?
Didn’t you say as long as you could see the rainbow,
you’d forgive me?
Look.
This feeling is clearer
A prism?
You can see the rainbow
whenever you want to.
It’s lucky that we never change
It’s lucky that we meet again
It’s lucky that we can continue the story
It crossed the ocean and came back to you.
Are you willing to accept it again?
Mr. Jin,
you’d better spend
your time on people you should love.
Don’t waste time on me.
Ding Ang.
Tonight?
OK, I get it.
Did something good happen to you
that you invited me to dinner?
Is it your treat?
Or you?
Fine, my treat.
Sir,
a hundred more oysters, please.
What are you doing here?
You invited him?
Yeah.
We haven’t got together for long.
I was wondering
why all of a sudden
you invited me to dinner.
So it's a trap.
How could you call it a trap?
It’s more like a mediation.
I have nothing to say to this guy.
You know what,
he’s vicious, ungrateful,
disloyal, and full of lies.
Got it?
Chengzhi,
your vocabulary
has expanded over the years.
But then again,
I haven’t brought up
the despicable things you did.
And now, you’re blaming me first?
Jin Ran,
don't blame your fault on others.
What did I do to you?
When did I ever hurt you?
Tell me about it. Go ahead.
During four years in college,
didn’t I treat you well enough with my heart and soul?
I chose the best dorm for you.
I woke up every morning at 6
to save the best seats for you.
OK. Alright. Enough.
We’ve finally got together.
Don’t rake up the past.
Did you hear that?
Heart and soul?
Man, can you not
exaggerate it?
Don’t think Ding Ang and I don't know
why you waked up
at 6 in the morning.
If you didn’t, you’d be late for your class.
You saved seats for us
so that you could
buy meals with my card.
Jin Ran, you both
take a step back.
Don’t you remember
I helped you ask for leave for your English class?
Hadn’t you got sick,
I wouldn’t have been late for class.
Who helped you
find your part-time job?
I didn't owe you anything.
Didn’t I treat you to dinner
with the money I earned?
I also brought you
to the orientation for new students.
Don’t bring that up.
Yuan Lai was mad at me for a month
because of that.
In order to help you catch the thief,
I was dressed up as a girl.
You’re upset about it?
Had you locked the door, the thief wouldn't have got in.
Do you still want to drink?
Yeah!
Jin Ran.
Buddy,
my buddy.
I regard you as my good friend.
I really take you
as my best friend.
My buddy.
What’s wrong? Are they drunk?
Two idiots.
Men have
their own ways of solving problems.
They drink and fight.
It’s simple and direct.
Ding Ang and I will bring Chengzhi back.
You bring Jin Ran back.
Me?
Let’s switch.
Give Chengzhi to me.
Hurry up.
Let’s go.
Xinyi!
Chengzhi, let’s go home.
-Where? -Let’s go home, Chengzhi.
-Let’s go. -Come on.
-Go home. -Go home?
Are you alright?
If I hide my crush on you
I’m fine.
I won't dare to fall in love with you
I won't be sad
Now
Let’s go. Come on.
Hurry up.
And I could treat you as an old friend
The false appearance
Was exposed at one moment
I realized that I lied to myself
I lied to myself that I was well
When I meet you again
I forgive you for that you left
How are you going these years
Did you ever hope that
I can be with you
Miss, we’re here.
When you give me hope again
I want to love you one more time
But the unhealed wound reminds me
To guard myself
Dare not display my dependence on you
Keep it at the bottom of the heart
Sometimes I reflect
Our past happiness
Careful.
This way.
Stand still.
Don’t move.
I can't bear that if I lose you Again
What’s the door code?
I forgive your stubbornness
What’s the door code?
Is it your birthday?
Stay beside you
For the rest of my life
It can’t be mine, can it?
Come.
Be careful.
This is the only way to your house.
I’ve been
waiting here for you today.
You didn’t answer my calls these days.
I know you’re mad at me.
Let’s talk it out.
What do you want to talk about?
As your boyfriend,
neither did I know you liked chocolate cakes,
nor did I know you were allergic to oysters.
It’s all my fault.
I was so busy with work
that I neglected you.
You’re still avoiding the elephant in the house.
You know that’s not the reason I’m mad at you.
I always think
company is the best confession of love.
If you really
want to hear those sweet words,
I can say them to you every day.
But personally,
I’d rather spend more time and energy
on building my career.
Instead of
dating someone who can only make empty promises,
I think you need a man who’s down to earth
and willing to work with you side by side.
Chen Zhi.
Hi,
Jin Ran.
Why are you back to Shanghai?
You had a wonderful career
in Japan and America.
What’s wrong? Are you giving it all up?
I’m back for personal matters.
I’m sorry.
By the way,
is there any progress of the things I asked you to follow?
You’re correct.
That director in your company
has asked me for kickback.
OK.
Keep following him.
I want solid evidence.
Are you leaving now?
Bye-bye.
You can go back.
Yuan Lai.
What happened to Li Wen?
She said this job wasn’t suitable for her,
so she quit.
This morning,
I saw Mr. Jin ask her to go to his office.
Mr. Jin?
She came out
red-eyed shortly after.
I guess Mr. Jin asked her to quit.
Bob is in charge of the Purchase Department.
Mr. Jin is new here.
He must need Bob’s help.
Are you saying
in order to cover for Bob,
he fired Li Wen?
OK. I received the file.
-OK. -Wen Ya,
where’s Mr. Jin?
He went out. I don’t know where he went.
OK.
Come to my office first.
Jin Ran, how could you do this?
Why did Li Wen quit?
She thought she wasn’t
up for the job.
What a perfect excuse!
She’s the victim!
Yeah.
I can’t manage everything
in the company.
I won’t keep
incapable employees in the company.
You of all people should know
what the truth is.
How could you call white black?
Call white black?
The truth isn’t what you think.
Why did you become like this?
I no longer recognize you.
You’re still as righteous as usual.
But did it work?
At least, I have a clear conscience.
What about you?
You only care about profits.
I’ve met with the client.
I suggest we settle it out of court.
As COO of the company,
maximizing the profits is my job.
Can you be mature?
Yes, I’m immature.
I was so naive and stupid
that I trusted you back then.
I was in Japan for five years.
After all these years, you still haven’t grown up.
Thank you for your comment.
If the cost of growing up
is to be as heartless as you,
then I’d rather not grow up at all.
I don’t like growing up, so what?
When you and I were together,
you didn’t think I was heartless before.
You said it was before.
Let me tell you.
Even if all other men on earth died,
I wouldn’t choose to be with you.
Hi, Chengzhi.
4 o’clock?
I’m working. What's up?
Alright.
I’m busy now.
I’ll call you later.
Gotta go.
Why did Zhao Chengzhi call you?
None of your business.
Of course it is.
Answer your phone.
Mr. Zhang.
It’s OK. Traffic jams are common.
I’m still here waiting for you.
OK.
Master,
here are a cup of Americano
with ice, two sugar, no milk,
one sandwich
with eggs, cheese, and triple beef,
and your favorite French fries with black truffles.
Your memory is good.
But master,
your food is all strong flavored.
You eat so much meat for breakfast.
I’m still growing,
of course I need more food.
Young people like you
have been dieting
since breakfast
to have a slim body regardless of your health.
That’s not true. Don’t pretend you know us well.
You get that from chick lit books? Stop making wild guesses.
By the way,
do you need to bring a sandwich
to your dear Ding Ang?
This one it is.
What?
It’s none of your business.
So nosy.
Hey,
you don't need to go with me
for Feitu’s case this afternoon.
Why?
I...
Did I say something wrong just now?
Master,
order whatever you like.
I’ll go get it for you.
When you’re with the supplier,
remember to take notes carefully.
Don’t miss a word they say.
Besides, go through previous cases.
Make the compensation higher.
How should I do that?
Have you learned nothing in college?
Make a list of fees
of extra plane tickets, hotels,
and transportation from Sendai to Osaka.
List the actual losses first,
plus clients’ lost incomes
and other potential losses,
together with the damage
caused to Feitu’s reputation.
The first two are easy to calculate.
The last one
is the key for the negotiation.
Read the previous cases,
come up with a reasonable number backed with facts,
and then bring it to me, got it?
Master, how come you're so fired up?
You won a lottery ticket, did you?
I…
Master, tell me about your good news.
It’s about life and death.
Life and death?
Master,
what on earth is it?
Can you tell me?
Do you believe in fate?
I think fate is playing a cruel joke on me.
I’m so sorry. My bad.
Let me get you a towel.
Are you...are you OK?
Zhao Chengzhi, what were you thinking?
Why didn’t you pull me away?
Well, I didn’t know you were so slow.
Here, let me dry your hair.
You...
Why did she leave?
I’m sorry. My fault.
My bad.
It’s fate.
Mr. Zhao.
What a coincidence!
It’s time to work.
Why are you out
buying roses?
Who are they for?
What could I do?
Yuan Lai told me
if I wanted to confess my love to her,
I had to bring her roses.
A diamond ring.
It's late. I need to go.
Bye.
Fei,
check this file carefully for me, please.
I won’t be in the office this afternoon. Call me if you need anything.
OK.
Yuan Lai,
go to the archive room with me.
Mr...Mr. Jin.
I can’t. I’m off this afternoon.
It’s urgent.
I need to discuss with you
about optimizing the tour in Japan.
Cancel your leave.
Mr. Jin,
I’ve made a summary of all customers’
feedback regarding this tour last year.
If the rest isn’t too urgent,
-then... -It’s urgent.
Give me the summary
of all the data by the end of the day.
I have other things to do. I’ve asked for leave.
You can’t leave without my permission.
Excuse me.
Hi there.
You have long legs.
You could catch up with the cab.
Are you an athlete?
You’re also a student here, right?
What’s your major?
Sports?
No, we don't have such a major.
What's your major then?
I’m Zhao Chengzhi, a sophomore law student.
You study law?
The admission score is insanely high.
You must have good grades.
You're awesome, dude!
I study Chinese literature. My name is Yuan Lai.
Mr. Jin,
may I make a phone call at least?
Go ahead.
I left the phone on my desk.
May I borrow yours?
Your phone isn’t working.
Let me see.
What’s wrong?
It was fine just now.
The battery died.
You did it, didn’t you?
Are you paranoid or what?
Why do you always assume the worst of others?
What do you mean?
Obviously, Bob harassed Li Wen,
but you said she framed him.
Bob took bribes from others
and made shady deals with suppliers.
What did you do?
You covered for him.
I really don’t understand what you’re thinking.
I’m bad.
I’m evil.
Do you have proof?
Where are you going?
Get my phone.
Is that OK?
Mr. Jin.
Go.
You locked the door?
Why would I lock it?
You aren’t only crazy
but also paranoid.
And you like to assume others are all fools.
Anyone?
They're off work.
It’s dark.
The stuff has all left.
Besides, this is the archive room.
Even janitors don’t come here.
Aren’t you smart?
I can’t be here.
I need to go.
I have
an idea.
We wait.
Come.
Sit.
Let’s continue.
Sir,
the food you ordered…
Check, please.
OK.
Sir, 580 in total.
Thank you.
Yuan Lai?
Mr. Jin?
What are you two doing here?
-Oh, we... -How long have you been here?
How long have you been here?
- Why didn’t you call us?
Hello?
OK.
You didn’t show up,
so I thought you must be busy.
I’m waiting for you at your place.
Don't worry about the soldiers.
Come here quickly.
Focus on the middle.
Kill, kill, kill.
Well done.
Good job today.
You guys keep practicing.
I need to rest.
Master Ding, your gears are top notch.
Master, can we meet in person?
I worship you so much!
Master, let me be with you.
I’m sorry.
Xinyi doesn’t eat oysters.
You take this.
She loves desserts.
Mr. Ding,
look,
the subway entrance is on the west of our mall.
When are you going to marry me?
Gao Zifu, answer my question!
Do you like the movie?
I love it!
Stop it.
Hello!
Oh,
I want your
blueberry monkey bread,
and one Americano for me,
one latte for him.
Thank you.
OK.
I have to work this Sunday.
I need to go to the office.
Work overtime again?
Why are you so busy this month?
Too much work.
But this Sunday is my birthday.
Of course I know it.
I’ve bought a gift for you.
I’m sure you’ll like it.
What’s the use of the gift?
You won't be with me.
Zifu, what are you doing here?
This is...
My girlfriend.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Li is over there, too.
-Why don’t you go say hi? -OK. Sure.
I’m sorry. I need to borrow him for a sec.
Look who is here.
Hi, Zifu.
Long time no see.
Who's that beauty?
Your girlfriend?
Long time no see.
Glad seeing you here.
Why didn’t you tell us you have a girlfriend?
You should treat us to dinner.
What took you so long to pick up the phone?
Have you booked the plane tickets and the hotel for next week?
You are...
Who are you?
Hi.
I’m outside now.
I’ll call you later.
Who’s Tina?
Booking plane tickets and the hotel?
You mistook me again.
She’s my client.
We have business negotiation this Sunday.
Your client?
Judging from her tone,
it doesn’t sound like she’s a client.
All clients’ tone is the same.
The dessert is here.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
Look at you.
Darling,
not all women
are like you
who are smart and considerate.
Of course, I have sharp eyes
and I’m charming.
That’s why a perfect woman like you
would fall in love with me.
So it’s just you and her going on a business trip this Sunday?
Of course not.
There are other staff members, too.
Why don’t you go with me?
Why would I go?
The director of the surgical branch has retired
and I’m appointed to be the new director.
Really?
I’ll start from next month.
Look how excellent my dad is!
So
we've bought a small apartment near the hospital
for us to work.
But that place
is far from your company.
Your mom and I have decided
to have you
stay here and live on your own.
You need to learn to look after yourself.
Is it OK?
Of course. I’m a grown-up.
Don't worry.
I’m so sorry.
I said to have dinner with you this afternoon
but I didn’t make it.
It’s OK.
So why did you
want to see me?
What was it about?
Chengzhi, what are you doing? Stop it.
I didn’t.
I’m serious.
I want to be your boyfriend.
I love you.
Do you want to be my girlfriend?
If you do,
then take this ring as our love token.
Chengzhi,
you really shouldn’t
waste so much time on me.
For all these years,
I've always regarded you as my best friend.
But many couples
are also friends at the beginning.
Why can’t we make it?
Because I don’t love you.
Chengzhi, I think...
Stop it.
You can turn me down,
but you can’t stop me from perusing you.
One day,
you’ll fall in love with me.
Chengzhi, are you...
Alright,
it’s late.
Go back to rest.
Don’t catch a cold.
I’m leaving.
