Original subtitles

Ms. He is very reputable in the office.

Everyone likes her.

Every employee hopes to have a competent boss like her.

Goodness.

Well, Fanxing is just a director,

not some incredible employer.

Don't be afraid of her, she's just a paper tiger.

Unlike Canyang, he's as mischievous as a monkey.

A monkey?

Canyang is so naughty.

When he was little, he always came home

covered in mud from head to toe like a monkey.

Fanxing is the opposite.

She has always been strong-willed and loves being neat.

When they were little, I dreaded the weekends.

When they were at home,

it was like Sun Wukong wreaking havoc

when he was imprisoned under Buddha's Wuzhi Mountain.

Professor He was afraid of Ms. He?

Of course.

Like predators and prey.

I was just being nice to her.

If I wasn't nice and made her cry,

the duster on the shoe cabinet would be waiting for me.

My mom used it to clean vases, but my dad used it to beat me.

Didn't she always defend you whenever your dad punished you?

Both brother and sister really are very close.

They always fight when they're together,

but miss each other when they are apart.

They're over 30, but they still act like children.

Yuan Song, I bet a handsome boy like you

have a girlfriend.

No, I'm single.

What do your parents do?

Are you local?

My mom was a botanist.

My dad is a businessman.

I can be considered a local.

But I grew up in Beijing with my grandpa.

Old lady, why are you asking so much?

Are you looking for a son-in-law?

Yuan Song, listen. I have a niece

who should be two years older than you.

She graduated from a top university

and is now a public servant.

Stop.

If you keep doing this, he'll never come over again.

Canyang.

Lunch is ready, go set the table.

Coming!

I'll do it, Mr. He.

Fanxing, lunch is ready.

Okay.

-Here. -Okay.

-Mom. -Yes?

There was an issue with the company's invoice and I have to go and handle it.

I'm also meeting Xiaoyu and Song Xue later.

Well, go on then.

-Okay. -Ms. He, drive safe.

Okay.

-Enjoy your meal. -All right.

Yuan Song,

please help yourself.

Take whatever you want.

Okay, I'll make myself at home.

Pour the wine.

Let it sit for five minutes. Let's eat first.

-Yuan Song, help yourself. -Yes, sir.

-Here, have some more. -Okay.

Both of you are my most important clients.

Amazing Decoration focuses on the homes of newlyweds.

Mr. Zhao is in the wedding planning business.

Both of you have the same target market.

If you can collaborate and promote each other,

there's no doubt you'll both thrive.

I welcome the idea with open arms.

It's just that young people nowadays

prefer buying houses before marriage.

If we work together,

I'm afraid Mr. Li will suffer losses instead.

I don't see how that would be the case.

Meiyi Wedding Planners is expanding.

If we can collaborate in the long run,

I wouldn't mind short-term losses.

Mr. Li, you're quite visionary.

Here's to you, Mr. Li.

A toast.

-Thank you. -A toast to you too.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

I'm sorry. Please wait for a moment.

The billing machine is almost fixed.

It's okay.

Where's the washroom?

Turn left and it's at the end of the hall.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

What a coincidence.

Indeed.

You left a note saying that the dress was torn.

Yes, it was an accident. I'm sorry.

Your dog chewed it up, right?

Your dog can take money

and chew up a dress.

What a loyal dog.

No, it was something else.

Mr. Ye.

I'm just a director.

If you have something against me,

I won't argue and make excuses.

But

our company has been working with your company for so long.

If I left a bad impression on you,

I hope it won't affect my company.

Of course not.

Business is still business.

That's good to hear.

Thank you for being so forgiving.

Just consider this as a rough spell.

And try to forget this unhappy episode.

I'm sorry for taking up your time.

I wonder when we'll see each other again.

If it were someone else,

you would have been successful.

How to win back a person's heart step by step.

This is straight from the textbook.

I find this very interesting.

So, when are you setting up our next encounter?

Did you think I purposely came here

to lead you on?

Didn't you know that I would be here, in this restaurant today?

I did.

I don't know what to say.

Anyway, we won't meet again.

But I have a feeling that...

we'll run into each other again.

Come on now, don't cry.

Please don't cry.

Please don't cry.

I won't be able to explain myself!

I'm so fed up.

How can there be such a narcissistic man?

A peacock fanning its feathers around,

thinking he's so irresistible.

I was dumbfounded.

I should have mocked him there and then.

There are three situations in life where one is off their game.

The first is in exams.

The second is in fights.

The third is on the first date.

There's also the 3-in-1 ultimate test.

The blind date.

Coincidentally,

I'm going on a blind date next week.

Are you still going on blind dates?

I don't think you should.

It's all in vain anyway.

You'll only be wasting your time and be judged on every aspect.

Even if I'll be judged, both sides will be judged anyway.

It's not one-sided after all.

Who knows when and how love will happen.

When you turn a corner?

Or maybe in a cafe with my blind date?

Since there is a saying,

"Love at first sight",

it proves that there's still a chance of this happening.

Little girl,

you're still so naive and cute.

The purpose of blind dates is for marriage.

If it's for romance and not marriage,

then it's the same as behaving like a hooligan.

"If you plant a seed in spring, you'll have a son by autumn.

When you return home during New Year,

another descendant's name will be added

to the ancestral tablet."

Time is life!

Yes, I agree with Xiaoyu.

After one turns 30, the odds of finding love at first sight

is the same as winning the lottery.

Besides, you're just a pathetic little girl

who has never even won a lucky draw.

Hitting the jackpot?

Just keep your innocence and wait for the next life.

Next life?

A virgin can't reincarnate, right?

Petty superstition.

Moreover, she's a virgin who hasn't even had her first kiss.

What? You finally did it?

You really had your first kiss?

Stop eating. Scoot over.

Who was it?

I was drunk.

I may have kissed a male colleague.

A drunk play.

I like it!

Have you known him long?

He's the new intern.

A young hunk!

I like this! Is he cute?

He's not bad.

How did he react?

How would he react?

I mean, after that,

did he avoid you, look at you or follow you?

No.

Nothing has changed.

Game over then.

It never even started.

He's ten years younger than me.

It's impossible.

That's not true.

Age is never a problem for love.

Back in our 20s,

we bravely went after whoever we admired.

But as we grow older,

these young hearts get buried under life and responsibilities.

But it's never gone.

So when you meet someone you like, the heart still flutters.

But as you want to make a move,

you'll inevitably think twice.

I guess that's the trouble of growing up.

Ms. Sophisticated is troubled.

Gone is our youth.

So, we shall reminisce.

But all of our experiences are quite amazing.

He Fanxing had the most suitors in school,

but she never once had a boyfriend.

Xiaoyu was like a tomboy,

always fighting those bad boys for the girls in the class.

Out of all expectations, you fell in love

and was the first to get married after we graduated from university.

Now you're even expecting a second child.

As for me, I liked role-playing as a mother since I was little.

I never expected that I would be a "dual income, no kids" kind-of-wife.

You were traumatized by your first love.

You deserved it!

Back in the day, that jerk, He Canyang and I always fought with each other.

But her? She secretly went off dating.

That's enough.

You yanked his hair while giving birth to your Peanut.

And you call him a jerk, is that even proper?

So what? No matter how we are now,

once a jerk, always a jerk.

Right, Fanxing?

Who's taking care of Peanut when you're here?

Her dad. He took Peanut dancing.

I've served my sentence and I am a free woman now.

You're just on parole.

I just told you. I didn't mean to lose Albatross.

I meant Love Charm!

"Love Charm"?

The dog brought me rotten love instead.

What a crybaby.

Yes, I said it's rotten love.

She's nothing but a gold digger.

Don't worry.

Su Li will introduce me to her junior.

Maybe I'll fall for her at first sight, all right?

Stop crying already. I'll take good care of Minmin.

I have to go.

LOST DOG FOUND

Albatross, is that you?

Mr. Ye.

Yes?

What took you so long?

Are you trying to avoid drinking?

Mr. Li, we have to punish him.

Punish!

That's slander.

I ran into Ms. He from Mr. Li's company,

so we chatted a bit.

Ms. He?

She must be dealing with an invoice.

We rely on Ms. He for various matters

regarding the company.

She isn't even free on weekends.

Dealing with an invoice?

There was an issue when submitting the expenses.

Shouldn't a subordinate do this?

Our company is small.

There's only one director and an assistant in administration.

We don't have a clear-cut division of labor

like big companies.

Ms. He is in charge of different matters of the company.

In a way, she's busier than me as a manager.

Only two employees in administration?

We have a director and three others in that department,

and they are even up to their necks with work.

That director is not married, right?

Yes.

From what I know, she never even once had a boyfriend.

Never?

Yes.

She said she hasn't met the one she likes.

Youngsters want someone they like.

Old-timers want the right one.

Maybe, for Ms. He, the right one is the one she likes.

Well said.

Mr. Ye, aren't you single too?

Are you looking for someone you like

or the right person?

Me? I'm childish.

I'm waiting for destiny.

You're so funny.

-Come. Let's toast to the destined one. -Let's toast.

Whatever.

I owe that crybaby nothing.

Time for bed.

You like reading, so why don't we get an arc floor lamp?

The designer can pick a pair of comfy armchairs for us.

That's not a problem.

From now on, we'll read together here.

And I'll go to the gym with you.

-Sure. Let's take a look at the bedroom. -Okay.

Isn't this nice? They're so sweet.

Confess to Cong Xiao if you're envious.

Why should I?

Is she the only woman in the world?

Forget it.

Ridiculous.

Looking at them makes me believe in blind dates again.

Blind dates?

That's how they met?

It's a miracle.

Their families live on the same floor.

Their moms met through square dancing.

The lady is now 30, but no guy was to her liking.

Her mom was worried sick.

She was so helpless.

The guy studied in Australia after high school.

He just got back and came to work here.

Over 30.

Never touched a girl's hand.

After their moms started talking,

they decided to let them meet and try their luck.

In the end, something magical happened.

Did love blossom on the blind date?

No, not even close.

On the second day back here, he took the trash out

and ran into the lady who was on her way to work.

Their eyes met.

Fireworks exploded.

Love at first sight.

-They hit the jackpot. -They hit the jackpot.

The 3rd phase of the Zhujiang Garden's project handover is on the 23rd.

The 3rd phase has a rigid demand for 75 to 110 square meter units

with two to three bedrooms.

Exactly our target market.

Apart from us, both Aijia and Chengxing

are well-known renovation companies.

The sales gallery is a very narrow space.

It's best if the buyers see our booth first.

Cong Xiao, you take care of the booth.

Mr. Li.

Aijia always gets the best location.

Last time, they used their banner to block us.

They are such bullies.

Fight for it!

Aijia has a showroom in the gallery, while we don't have one.

We do not only need a salesperson,

but also a designer to be there

to personally talk to customers.

Chang Huan will be the one to go.

Yuan Song,

when he's done with his clients, pass my message to him.

-Ms. He. -Yes.

You prepare the gift bags and marketing material.

Noted.

This is a promo package jointly launched with Meiyi Wedding Planners.

It is a great offer.

Let's work hard and increase sales.

We'll discuss other details individually.

Work hard!

Dismissed.

Good luck!

6:30 p.m. at the statue in the park.

Are you going

on a blind date this weekend?

Yes.

You shouldn't go.

Why?

I already promised Cong Xiao.

You won't find a boyfriend on blind dates.

It's like buying a lottery ticket.

People always compare slim chances to buying a lottery ticket.

But people still buy tickets all the time. Right?

And there's always a winner.

Some people know they might never win.

Then why buy tickets at all?

Why?

Some things might be of a high risk

with a high return or no return at all.

But not when it comes to the lottery

where it's possible for a low-risk, but high-return investment.

In my neighborhood, there's an old man.

He's a heavy smoker.

He is never without a cigarette.

But ever since he started buying lottery tickets,

he would use his cigarette money

for the lottery without fail.

Guess what happened?

Did he win something?

Lotteries change lives.

He quit smoking!

So you see, the odds of winning the lottery is ten million to one.

The odds of a plane crash is three million to one.

So many things have a near-zero probability,

but they still happen, right?

Those who win the lottery

has to come from those who buys lottery tickets.

If your theory stands, you don't need blind dates.

You only need to stand at a busy intersection during rush hour.

Heavy traffic means more people.

Just wait there until you meet someone's gaze.

The odds of love at first sight there beats blind dates'.

You go to work in the morning

and run into a returnee who is out emptying his garbage bin.

And then you fall in love at first sight.

The tale of "First encounter, but he looks familiar."

It's nothing but a myth.

Like a carrot dangled before a mule on a mill.

Then, do you think the mule is

happier with or without the carrot?

Doesn't the mule know

that it will never be able to get the carrot?

So, you mean humans are like mules.

We like deceiving ourselves?

What I mean is we have to have dreams.

What if it comes true?

So you're still going to it no matter what?

Well, even if he and I can't be lovers,

we can still be friends.

Befriending your date? Don't you have any friends?

Why are you mad?

Little brat.

Are you so anxious for love?

It's the top priority on my wish list.

Of course, I am.

Will I do?

What?

Compared to a blind date,

am I not a better choice?

Won't you consider me?

Do you feel nothing for me?

Yuan Song!

Who is she?

-I-- -My girlfriend.

Your girlfriend?

Where's Braised Meat?

Bean misses him so much.

You guys chat, I need to find my dog.

-Baylor! -I have to go.

The store has the cream I told you about in stock.

I'll send you the address.

Okay.

Did he just confess to me?

Did he just confess to me?

Is he doing this because of a dare, or is he making fun of me?

Which is it?

Steven, your thinking is pretty off.

He's an independent man first and your son second, right?

Do you think you're in a TV drama?

A bossy chairman forcing his son to inherit your business.

And your daughter? Will you arrange a marriage for her too?

All right.

Let's have a drink one day.

I'm down on my luck too.

I walked Love Charm the other day and the collar came loose and it ran away.

Love Charm!

Love Charm!

Love Charm!

Love Charm?

Love Charm, why are you here?

Are you lost again?

If your narcissist dad sees me, he'll humiliate me again.

What should I tell him?

Love Charm!

Love Charm!

Love Charm!

I was just sitting here.

It just ran straight towards me.

I wasn't following you around.

Well...

Maybe I'm the only one it knows here, so it ran to me.

I swear I didn't take it while you weren't noticing!

I swear!

Calm down.

I wasn't thinking about that at all.

Well, my place is near the park.

So I often walk my dog here.

I really didn't follow you here.

It's true!

I really live nearby!

I can show you my ID.

It's not with me.

I'll send a copy to your company tomorrow.

It has been cleared up now.

It was my mistake.

I saw your lost dog notice.

You really weren't after my money

or me.

I'd like to apologize.

I was too dismissive and misjudged you.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

You're too nice.

You were so angry before.

With just one apology and now you're all right.

Can you really forgive me like that?

Of course.

It's not a big deal.

Your dog.

I should go.

Can I treat you to a meal?

There's no need for that.

I don't think it's a good idea.

If I eat with you or get involved with you,

you'll think I'm seducing you again.

I'm going to go now.

Go! Let's go!

You have such long legs, slow down!

Don't run so fast!

Love Charm.

Love Charm!

You really work!

Aren't Thai horror movies supposed to be really terrifying?

I only see

a green face moving around

with ketchup on it.

What did I tell you?

There's nothing to it.

It's just a green face with ketchup on it.

You even said,

"I know it's fake, but it's still so scary."

Good for you, then.

Watching enough of these movies has made you immune.

If a guy takes you to the movies now,

it will look fake when you act scared and lean on him.

Asking someone out for a horror movie is such an old trick.

If you do that these days,

it's so obvious that it'll be so awkward.

You missed its heydays, then.

Someone invited you back in the day, but you just didn't go.

I didn't like him, why would I go?

Who knows?

You could have seen the ketchup, had your heart race and then fell in love.

So, that's how you got Nana?

Nana?

Nana, who?

The one who looked like Liu Yifei.

The belle of the faculty who was the hardest to get.

She failed her exam and was very sad,

so you took her to a horror movie to ease her mind.

After the movie, you took her to a hotel.

Did I really do that?

Your hand is oily!

Nana regretted it after dating you for just two weeks.

Therefore,

the increased heart rate when watching a horror movie is a myth.

It's all due to hormones.

I want true love.

Sex maniacs like you won't understand.

All right, you want true love.

But how love happens

is closely related to the atmosphere.

The atmosphere?

Two chemicals are put together, but there's no reaction.

But through heat, liquids, electricity, or the use of catalysts,

a chemical reaction occurs.

It's like putting two people who are not interested with each other

in a dark movie theater,

or have them dancing in dim light,

or have them stuck in a broken-down lift,

or under a tree with petals falling all around them,

with the guy who happens to be in a white shirt

and so on.

A specific atmosphere

can be a catalyst for love.

So how do you tell

if you're being charmed by the atmosphere

or you're really falling in love?

Woman, you just asked the right question.

Love itself is confusing.

You feel dizzy, infatuated,

feverish and insecure.

Therefore, love isn't a thing that can be rationalized.

Ask your heart.

Does your heart race?

Does your throat feel dry?

Do you avoid eye contact, but you can't help looking?

Do you try to run away, but your legs feel like jelly?

Did you sneak a peek at Ms. Song's teaching materials?

I speak from experience.

Compared to a blind date,

am I not a better choice?

Why not? Doesn't your firm need interns?

All our internship positions have been filled.

And I'm so busy.

Young people nowadays aren't as bright.

Not only is he bright, he's attractive too.

There's no harm in having eye candy like him in the office.

Are you not going to grab your stuff?

Give me a minute.

Yuan Song, hurry up. We'll be late.

Coming.

Let's go.

What are you looking at? Let's go.

You really want your student to be an intern in my firm?

Didn't you say no? It's fine.

It's not completely impossible.

Really?

It's for my brother after all.

What?

-Cong Xiao. -Ms. He?

Take a look at this.

For this promotion,

the offer for this package...

is this, right?

The half-option price is right.

For the two all-option,

we've changed some of the items.

These two need to be changed.

Hello, may I know--

-Over there. -Thank you.

What about this? Is this correct?

-Hello. -This--

-May I know if you-- -It's for me.

Please sign this.

Where's the other delivery guy?

-Here you go. -Did your boss drop by today?

He's there now.

For the ocean song flowers, I prefer lavender-colored ones.

Your boss knows my preferences.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

A new boyfriend?

Not yet. I'm still considering it.

What is he like?

He has his own flower shop.

He looks sharp and has a good personality too.

When we met yesterday,

he gave me a supplementary credit card

and said I can buy whatever I wanted.

Let's go shopping after work.

You can buy some clothes for your weekend date.

Okay.

Hello.

I just realized I got the wrong person.

Are you Ms. He Fanxing?

That's me.

PLEASE FORGIVE THIS STUPID AND COCKY MAN FOR GIVING YOU BAD MEMORIES.

FROM YE LUMING

YOUR DELIVERY WAS RECEIVED BY HE FANXING

ROTTEN LOVE

LOVE

You called, sir?

Close the door.

Please help me cancel this weekend's blind date.

We're at work right now and you're my boss.

It was my cousin who agreed to the date.

As your boss, I apologize on behalf of your cousin.

Sir,

please ask my cousin to talk to me himself. Okay?

Okay.

Hello.

Didn't we have a deal? Just go and have a meal with her.

I can't.

I've met someone I like.

Really?

My junior already told her colleague.

It's okay if I embarrass myself.

But what about my junior?

If things don't work out for her in that company,

tell her

Minglu Advertising welcomes her with open arms.

MS. HE

I'm busy enough cleaning up after my boss.

My cousin, you can clean up your own mess. I have work to do.

The employees now...

What can they really do?

I'll just handle it myself. What's the big deal?

Ms. He.

LOVE

He...

Hello?

Hello?

Mr. Ye, what's the matter?

It's nothing.

Well...

Did you get the flowers?

Yes, I did. Thank you.

It was all a misunderstanding after all.

You shouldn't worry about it.

Okay.

I hope the next time we meet

will be a good and brand new start.

Of course.

You're a vital partner to our company.

And the dress...

There's no rush. There's no rush at all.

You can replace it whenever you like.

I won't keep you any longer then. Goodbye.

I'm taking your attendance now.

Cai Minmin.

Present.

And I'm done, let's begin.

Professor He, who takes attendance like that?

I said this before that I'd call your name.

I can't call everyone's name.

We can't forsake those sleeping in at 10 a.m.,

and those not back from staying out at cybercafes.

Enough with the laughing. Let's start.

We're going to talk about Mondrian today.

"Stay calm"?

Why is Professor He picking on me?

I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!

I think he was quite cute.

He only called your name like a bossy chairman.

This is my chicken!

Professor He.

Song Xue, please help me.

Please help me. This is the last time.

Professor Song.

Just tell me, yes or no?

Professor He,

we modern women are very busy.

We teach in school

and do TV programs afterward.

Besides, I've heard what a fighter your ex is.

Your sister's dress was over 10,000 yuan and she just tore right through it.

I'm a talker.

But she's a doer.

If I tell her to stop pestering He Canyang,

she may think I'm a mistress and rip me apart.

At least, you'll die with no regrets.

You're the woman I like the most after my mom and sister.

We're each other's first love after all.

Listen up, He Canyang.

If anyone finds out about this,

forget your ex-girlfriend, I'll rip you apart!

I won't tell anyone. Just help me.

She paints my car with the lipsticks I bought her.

Isn't that such a waste?

This is the last time.

-Thank you. -Stop it. You're so annoying.

Bye, Professor Song.

Yes!
