[Episode 11]

I heard from the special topics department that Feng never has anything nice to say.

He's extremely happy with the results

when you see him nod his head.

You're here to treat us again?

It's not time for a meal yet.

What's wrong?

I won't be returning to the employee dorms tonight.

Why not?

My roommate is from Nanjing. She went home today.

I'm afraid of being alone in the dorms.

Understood.

There's a lot of negative energy and not enough positive energy in the female dorms. It can easily be haunted. It's understandable.

How about this? I'm hungry, I'm going to go eat.

Take your time chatting.

Song

acts like a hungry tiger every time we get off work.

I'm hungry, too.

Then let's go eat something together.

Qiao Yicheng.

Can you accompany me for the night?

Where would we go?

[Health Care and Eugenics]

Here we go!

I don't want to watch you eat.

You're too far away. I want to sit next to you.

It doesn't matter where you sit.

Here, salted vegetables.

- What's wrong? - I want some more food.

What else do you want?

What else do I want?

Xiaolongbao.

I want boiled shredded bean curds,

pan-fried beef dumpling,

Zhuangyuan beans, Wuxiang eggs,

and assorted tofu fish. I want one of each.

Can you finish all of that?

- How about this? I'll get you some for takeout when we finish eating. - No.

Food tastes better when we eat it together.

I want Xiaolongbao, boiled shredded bean curds, and pan-fried beef dumpling.

- How much? - Okay, your total is ¥12.

Thank you.

- Why did you take your camera out? - You're too slow.

How can I not be slow when you ordered so much?

This one.

Here, a marinated egg for you.

And one for me.

Did you fall asleep watching the movie yesterday?

I didn't. I was resting my eyes.

It seemed like you were dozing off when we were watching part four though.

I wasn't. It seemed like you were

lost in thought while watching a certain film.

I wasn't.

Then were you watching it seriously?

Not that either.

Then take it more seriously next time.

I'm done for.

I want to cry.

Why? Are you having a bad stomach?

I don't know.

I just suddenly feel extremely upset.

I just...

think I'm so alone in such a big place.

But my mom said

it was like this for me since my childhood.

I made a lot of fuss

when I couldn't

fall asleep at night.

And I had bad temper.

I was so fierce.

Why are you looking at me? Eat up.

Have a steamed bun.

Xiaolang.

It'll be fine.

You have to go that way.

I'm going now.

Ye Xiaolang.

You should avoid vigorous exercise after eating.

Watch out for gastroptosis.

Ye Xiaolang!

What?

Mr. Qiao. Didn't sleep last night catching ghosts?

- Nonsense. - Did you catch a male or female ghost?

Female ghost. It was very beautiful. Are you envious of me?

To be honest, I really advise you to not become involved.

I know you have feelings for her.

But don't just see the side of her you want to see.

Women scheme more than you think.

What? Are you afraid that I'd get sucked dry by the female ghost?

Fine, fine. It doesn't matter whether you like people or ghosts.

As long as it doesn't interfere with our special report.

Don't worry. It won't.

The Jinling Hotel is so grand.

They're all like this in Nanjing.

I'll warn you again.

Once we're get to President Liu's room, don't speak out of turn when you see him.

Just quietly listen behind me.

Even..

Even if President Liu asks you anything,

you don't have to reply. Just keep smiling.

- Let me handle everything. - I got it.

I have a sense of propriety.

Hello, President Liu.

Hello, President Liu.

I came at such a bad time!

What's the situation?

It succeeded.

Really?

[Nanjing Dayou Trade Company]

- What's it called when it rains on this day? - What?

It's prosperous.

President Xu.

You're all here. Congratulations Brother Qiao.

We should be calling him Manager Qiao now.

Not bad.

So? Are you confident in your first seminar?

We've had many simulations with Brother Qiao.

Don't be nervous.

I'm going to take a look at my notes again.

President Xu, have a seat.

Pour up some water!

Please sit!

Have a seat!

Uncle Qiao. Uncle Qiao, I can raise money too.

This way please.

Uncle Qiao, let me work with you.

I can help you promote the business.

This is a business of no cost and great profits. I don't need promoting.

They all know about it.

Don't try to raise money without capital.

How much do you need me to put in?

56 around the waist, 88 around the hips.

Height is 167 and weight is 45.

- Next. - Whoever is done with their measurements can come with me to the second floor to line up for the interview.

Do your best once you see the leaders.

64 around the waist.

84 around the hips.

My name is Huang Xinyao. I am glad to be here to introduce myself.

I have a master degree, and I majored in Business Management at Nanjing Normal University.

- Thank you very much. - That's good.

Next.

Come, next.

Next.

Give me your bag. I'll hold it for now.

Thank you.

Hello everyone. I'm Qiao Simei.

What is your specialty?

Dancing. I can dance well.

♫ You're like the fire of that winter ♫

♫ That flame warmed my heart ♫

♫ Every time you slowly walk towards me ♫

♫ The flame illuminates me ♫

♫ Your big eyes are bright and twinkling ♫

♫ Like the brightest star in the sky ♫

♫ You're like that flame ♫

♫ That flame warmed my heart ♫

♫ You're like that flame ♫

♫ I'm happy but I didn't tell you ♫

♫ I also know you truly like me ♫

♫ I'm happy but I didn't tell you ♫

♫ I also know you truly like me ♫

♫ You're like that flame ♫

Have you taken dance lessons?

No.

It's just a hobby of mine.

What caused you to like dancing?

What caused you to like dancing?

I saw people

on the TV dancing, and I was pretty happy watching it.

Then why aren't you interviewing at a TV station or for a dance troupe?

I want to make people happy.

I think my work at a hotel can make people happy too.

[Fangfang Convenience Store]

Shufang.

It's getting cold.

I knitted you a thicker sweater.

Look.

Shufang.

- Second Auntie. - I—

Did you go shopping again?

Uncle Ma.

No. My new uniform and English materials

are in the bag.

You have to learn English at the binding factory?

It's not for the binding factory.

You don't know yet, Second Auntie?

I got hired for a position at a foreign hotel.

I'm going to start my first day of work soon.

We all must learn English over there.

You stopped learning in middle school, am I right?

Not even middle school. Elementary school.

I was busy reading Qiong Yao's novels at the time.

You did it to yourself.

Why must we Chinese learn English?

There are many benefits to learning English.

You can look at English materials and books.

You can even understand what they're saying when you watch English movies.

English movies.

Does that mean that after I learn English I can become a fan of foreign celebrities?

You nymphomaniac!

I have to go now, Second Auntie. I have to go back and learn English.

Why are you so eager this time?

We have an English placement exam. I need to accumulate some virtue,

to accumulate some blessings for myself. Goodbye Uncle Ma!

Goodbye.

Off to learning English!

Who doesn't know a bit of English? What's the point of showing off.

Shufang.

What I was telling you earlier...

What do you think?

Give me some more time to think about it.

I'm back!

I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to go or not?

Are you going to keep silent again? Fine.

Let me tell you. Today, I will be Cao Cao [Politician in ancient China].

I don't believe I can't get you to go. I'm taking tomorrow off and personally taking you check-in for your job.

Big Brother, it's not that I don't want to work.

I just need to figure out what I want to do and what I need to do.

What is there to think about?

How many times have I asked others for favors in recent years?

Not even the amount that's on one hand. Just twice.

And both times it was for you guys.

Once for you, and the other time for you.

Why do you keep forcing us?

I just need some time to think about it.

What is there to think about? How long have you thought about it for?

It's been three months, hasn't it?

You're incapable of making the decision, so I'll do it for you.

You keep saying you're thinking about it,

but what are you really thinking about?

Are you still thinking about that one situation?

I'm telling you, that situation is over with.

Do you hear me? It's over!

It's not good for you to keep thinking about that older sister!

Big Brother, I told you not to talk about her like that!

What do you mean? Do you want to start a fight with me?

Come over here!

Talk to me!

You said I drank like the old man.

But what about yourself?

You're no different than the old man with how you're speaking to me right now.

We have to do what you tell us to do. Have you ever considered how we feel?

What's the difference between you and the old man who is unreasonable and does what he wants?

Stop talking.

Say it again.

- Big Brother! - Say it again! - Sanli, don't hold him back. Let him hit me!

- Beat me to death! - Stop talking!

I won't have to go to work if you beat me to death!

- And I won't have to freeload at home! - Stop arguing!

- Stop arguing! - Second Brother has a job.

Second Brother has a job?

Why don't I know about this myself?

What's the meaning of this?

You resigned?

The test results are out?

What are you keeping from me this time?

Big Brother, I'll tell you honestly.

I don't want to work at the binding factory at all.

I saw Huamei Hotel's recruitment notice

and knew it was my chance to change my fate.

So I went to take the test.The results are out now and I passed!

I won't work at the binding factory ever again.

I'm going to work at a grand hotel!

I'll work hard and become a leader and a manager.

I'm about to reach nirvana and get reborn!

Isn't this perfect? Second Brother will have a job.

My Second Brother can take my position at the binding factory.

I can just tell the binding factory Auntie and it'll be all set.

It's a stable job and a formal position. It's great!

What's wrong? Why are you upset?

This is a good thing. At least pretend to be happy.

What happened?

Look at Big Brother.

You walked so quietly.

My house is small. There is place for you to sit.

Please pardon with me.

Big Brother, don't be like this. I know I'm wrong.

No, don't say that. I don't deserve it.

Big brother.

I used to think I was a good Big Brother to you.

Thinking about it now.

My own younger brother almost started a fight with me for a stranger.

He'd rather work at your binding workshop than to the job I got for him.

My little sister,

She didn't tell me until she's about to resign.

I must be the most successful big brother in this world.

We can see you want the best for us.

But we are adults now and we have things we want to do.

Say, if we follow your lead for everything,

If we are passive and have no ideas of our own,

Wouldn't that be even worse?

Just let the Second Brother work at the binding workshop.

There will be a vacancy after I leave. We should keep this good opportunity within the family.

I'm not keeping him away from anything.

I just don't want to see him give up on his life because of something unimportant.

Big Brother, you should give me some guidance.

Don't let me give up on my life too.

What did you do?

The hotel requires us to learn English.

As you know, I don't even know the 28 alphabets. How can I learn English?

What are you laughing for?

I don't think I can teach you.

We are not learning the same language.

Let me tell you, I'm very busy with work.

If you don't see this through, don't ask me for help again.

Do you understand?

I do, Big Brother.

Yicheng,

- Is your dad not home? - No.

I'll stop by at night again.

Here you are.

Manager Qiao,

Let me tell you. I came looking for you-

What do you want from me?

I trust you.

Let's talk in the office.

Big Brother, how did you learn English?

If I can get good at English...

Sisters,

We have a new colleague. Let me introduce him.

Qiao Erqiang. He is the Second Brother to Qiao Simei.

Erqiang, this is the workshop.

You will be working here. You should learn from the masters.

Qiao Erqiang, you should greet everyone.

Masters, nice to meet you.

You are so sweet.

Boss, you are so considerate.

You know partnering men and women increase efficiency of work.

But one boy is not enough.

You guys, watch what you are saying.

Come here. You all should take care of Erqiang.

Erqiang, you can start working now. If you have any questions, you can ask Sister Liu.

Master Liu can teach you.

Here, let's start with something easy.

Have a seat. Look at how I do it.

In a climate like this, you get so sleepy when the sun comes out.

Line up the corners.

What are you busy with that you are so tired?

Not your business.

You two, watch it.

There is a young boy here. He's not married yet.

Stop pretending to be a serious person.

Who's the person so excited about being the master

to the new boy?

Do your work.

What's so funny about wanting to be his master?

Sanli. Sanli!

I'm not here to give you stuff, or to bother you. I have something important to tell you.

It's true.

It's about your dad.

Hurry, say it now.

You know your dad is gathering investment for his business.

I had some extra money and became a shareholder.

What investment?

You don't know about it? Many of our neighbors have invested.

Your father and Uncle Xu are leading the efforts.

Although Uncle Xu has some business experience, I wouldn't have invested if it wasn't for your father.

I don't know about the investment.

Moreover, you should be extra careful because it's my father.

I'll warn you. Be careful that you might lose your money.

Sanli, are you concerned about me?

I'll find out about it from Big Brother.

If you want to invest, it's your own business.

I don't want to hear about it.

Gut Maorning.

Vel-Velcome!

Stop laughing.

Mein na-Mein name is Fu-

Four Beauty Qiao.

You are really losing it.

The English pronunciation is hard.

When will English stop

feeling like tongue twisters?

Big Brother has taught you many times. You still don't know it?

Don't mention it. This morning, I wanted Big Brother to correct my pronunciations.

He was gone before I got up.

That right. I had something to talk to Big Brother about

When I was making breakfast.

But he left without breakfast. Maybe he was busy with his project.

There's something fishy about it.

Huh?

When Big Brother was in college,

He was doing school work, writing,

Selling newspapers and tutoring.

But he didn't look this busy. He even caught me in a relationship.

That's because you were a trouble-maker and he was worried about you.

I think he must be in a relationship.

Are you sure?

But,

It's nothing strange even if he is in a relationship.

It's common for people his age to be in a relationship.

That's right. Brother Min is about getting engaged.

It's hard to imagine

What he is like in a relationship.

What is so hard to imagine?

When he sees a girl,

He wants to smile. But he is shy so he keeps a straight face.

His lover is more important than his sisters.

How nice would it be if I have a handsome foreigner teaching me English.

I would even dream in English.

Here.

Here it is.

Time to eat!

Eat.

No worries, I have more.

Thank you.

I asked you to come with me when they opened. But you wouldn't come.

I didn't want to third-wheel with you.

Now the fortune has turned around.

Time for me to third-wheel with you and your...boyfriend.

Boyfriend? Are you guys official now?

Not again.

What's the story?

Qiao Yicheng, let me tell you.

Xiao Lang talks about you a lot in the dorm.

I'm so annoyed whenever she brings you up.

We are in the same boat. I'm pretty annoyed too.

You should treat her well.

Don't always ask her to buy you food and drinks.

Don't- Why did you kick me? Don't keep doing those filthy trades.

- I didn't. - Eat your food.

I know.

I'm mistaken. That wasn't Qiao Yicheng.

- It wasn't him, was it? - Huh?

Pardon me. I drank my coke too quickly. I'll be right back.

Enjoy.

By the way...

Xiao Meng has always been like this. She likes joking around.

You two really are alike.

That' right. That's why we really get along.

I made fun of her boyfriend before.

And I lost a bet to her.

I owe her a meal. Now she's just taking it out on me.

I can understand jokes.

Qingyuan, thanks for the treat.

Not a problem. I didn't pay for it. You don't need to thank me.

What I said about Xiao Lang.

About Xiao Lang's ex boyfriends.

Xiao Lang likes to hide things. But what is past is behind her.

She is not bad. It's natural for girls to be proud.

Xiao Lang doesn't like to talk about herself. It must be because of her family.

Her family?

Your colleague didn't tell you about it?

He didn't.

He didn't?

I'm not dating her. Why do I care about her family?

You...

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

You put on too much lip sticks. It makes your mouth look big.

What happened to your mouth?

Huh? Nothing.

Did you forget your lip stick? You can have mine.

No need. I have mine.

Are you two alright?

We are in a good mood, aren't we?

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Hey.

What's wrong with you?

It's a good day. Come have a seat.

What are you doing?

Look at this.

So everyone knows now?

Everyone who bought the morning paper knows now.

Stop staring at it. You know this article better than I do.

Brother, what you do with your girlfriend is your own business.

But we should not profit at the expense of others.

I only found out just now.

Didn't you know she was publishing it?

I didn't.

Fine.

She plagerized your work. What are you going to do about it?

Watch your words.

Fine. I am vulgar. All I say is vulgar.

But I need to say one more thing even if it's rude. You can't just see what you want to see.

How long have you known Ye Xiaolang?

Do you know who she is? Think about it.

What do you know about her?

I know that a trustworthy person would pull tricks like this behind your back.

That's all I need to know.

Look at her. Without-

Good, both of you are here.

Lao Feng wants you in his office.

Sure.

What happened.

One of the journalists at this newspaper is a friend of mine.

She accidentally saw the materials I gathered on this topic.

- She didn't have my consent. - What kind of friend?

- Just a frie- - Girlfriend.

Not to say girlfriends. Your wife can't do anything like this.

If there is a good topic, we can cooperate and share resources.

It's fine.

But you are siding with your girlfriend and not your own company.

Why don't you and her become independent journalists.

Do your own exclusive interviews.

Master Feng, I'm very sorry.

"Sorry". Is there anything else you can say?

This is a big incident. What are you going to do?

Cut the films well.

Yes.

Let's go.

- You. - Qiao Yicheng, my apologies.

I'm sorry.

What did you do wrong?

I...

I shouldn't have published that article on "Xin Zhong Fu"

under my name.

I shouldn't have plagiarized your work.

So you put my under assistant editor?

Did you think through how I'll tell my station about it?

I...

I really regretted it after submitting it.

Someone else took my topic.

I didn't know what to do.

That's why I submitted Xin Zhong Fu.

I didn't expect it to get approved so quickly.

They asked me to submit the article immediately because of the urgency.

Moreover,

You promised you'd listen to what I say and trust me.

Do you trust me?

I do.

But it doesn't mean you can use my materials and articles without my permission.

I hate others keeping me in the dark..

And only coming to me for help when the damage is already done.

I was worried that you wouldn't agree.

How do you know that I wouldn't agree to it? I'm not Song Qingyuan.

I don't know about that. You guys hang out together all the time.

You work overtime together on the weekends.

How do I know what he has said about me?

He might have brainwashed you.

You either think too highly of Song Qingyuan or think too little of me.

Do I have no judgement of my own?

I won't do it again.

I will tell you everything.

If you are still angry, you can curse at me.

You can even hit me once.

But not now. I'm still at work.

You can't hit me on the private areas, or my face.

Where do I hit then?

Are you really going to hit me?

You came here to apologize, now you are hitting me!

Ciao Yicheng.

I'm hungry. Let's get some hot pot.

Now?

It's almost the end of my shift. Let's go.

Wait.

I did say that I trust you.

But I have one condition.

You need to have faith in me too.

I see.

I'll grab my purse. Wait for me.

Big Brother, you are home.

Welcome home.

Where did Simei go?

Simei is on the night shift. She'll be home after dinner.

- I'll make a couple more dishes for you. - No need. I already had dinner.

You had hot pot in secret.

I did have it. I wasn't trying to hide it.

Big Brother, I need to talk to you.

Good. I need to talk to you too.

You first.

Have a seat.

How are you and Yiding?

Did Simei tell you about it?

No. I ran into Yiding the other day.

He couldn't forget about you.

It's common for couples to have fights.

But you should know when to stop.

No relationship is without conflicts.

So long as he doesn't touch your principles. So long as its reconcilable.

You should take a step back each.

If you are embarrassed, I can give him a call.

No need.

I think I'm fine by myself.

Don't say that.

What did you want to tell me?

♫ Alibaba is a happy young man. ♫

Is dinner ready?

I heard father is asking people for investments.
