[Remembrance of Things Past]

Go left, go right, go forward

Red light, yellow light, green light

Staying and leaving

Together and apart

I want to thank those

who made me understand what it means to love and be loved

Yo, Sai Wen

I've seen the recruitment notice

Actually, my standards for an assistant aren't that high

You can loosen up a little on having five years of relevant experience

[Episode 1: Birthday]

Hello, welcome to Metro Line No. 15

Disembarking passengers are kindly advised to get ready

Please sit steadily and hold tight

Excuse me

I'm not going down! This isn't my stop!

Girl, thank you so much

[We're going to celebrate Jing Jing's birthday tomorrow]

Baby Jing Jing, happy birthday!

Jing Jing, happy birthday!

Ha ha ha, I've received your messages, thank you!

Don't work overtime tonight Don't be late for your birthday party

The tourism industry is waning There's no way she can work overtime

Touchwood, the industry is picking up now

Right now, I'm meeting a client

I'm going to strike a deal today!

Go ahead, then

Why are you still chatting with us?

I came early

I'm waiting for the client to come to work

Qiao Qiao, awake yet? Going to work?

Reached your office yet?

Yes, yes

- Morning, Qiang - Morning

Morning

Xu Yan, I'm at the office now

I'm going to work, so remember to wake up

- Morning, Miao - Morning

Yeah, yeah, I'm awake

How else did I send you that message?

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet

Who knows, maybe your hubby used a voice changer

You said Shen Zi Chang uses a voice changer when he plays online

Get this clear. He's not my hubby

I'm still a single, childless girl

Baby Yan, girls don't care about being single or having kids

Come in

Sister Jia, this is bad

What's wrong?

Tonight is the Beijing alumni gathering of Zhi Yi Fourth High School

They just requested this morning that they want to change the wine

Why? Didn't they ask for ten boxes of wine from 2017?

They said some teachers are coming

so they want something better

They want wine from 2012 They want everything changed

Everything?

But we've already paid the deposit for the 2017 wine

If we're changing now we might not find the wine

Even if we do find it, it'd cost more than 200,000 yuan

We've already paid over 100,000 yuan upfront for this event

The finance department said we only have 100,000 yuan now

Don't open the boxes for the 2017 wine yet

I'm contacting someone now

- They want 2012, right? - Yes

If I find it, don't worry about the money I'll pay for it first

- This... - Go back to work

Hello, Mr. Zhang I'm Nan Jia from Si Nan Event Planning

I'd like to know if you have wine from 2012

Amy

- Hey, you're earlier than me - I came early

- Have you eaten? - Not yet

- I brought some breakfast for you - Oh

You're so thoughtful, thank you

Alert, alert!

- What, is there another fire drill? - No, look!

You see that guy behind Sai Wen?

- Where? - There

I heard he's the new director President Han found to replace Yi Ning

I didn't see him

Mr. Jiang is going to be in deep trouble now

What are you talking about?

Yi Ning hasn't even taken her maternity leave

What trouble are you talking about?

Look at Yi Ning's tummy

She's going to take maternity leave soon

I heard that Mr. Jiang and President Han Jr. are getting a divorce

Yi Ning is Mr. Jiang's trusted subordinate

Now that Old President Han is replacing Yi Ning

our marketing department is going to enter a storm

Hey

We're sitting right next to each other

You get far more information than I do from the grapevine

Where did you get it? I'm astonished

That's what you call disparity, got it?

Qiang

Qiang

I've proofread your inventory list

You've mixed up the entries for cold brew and Blue Mountain coffees

- Is it? - I've corrected it. It's in your inbox now

- Thank you so much - It's okay

Seriously, I've been befuddled from work

Check again before you send it to Yi Ning

Don't send the previous version

- Thank you - I've sent it to your inbox

- Qiao Xi Chen - What?

We're supposed to not hide anything from each other

Did you pick up any gossip? Tell me

I do know something

Ten minutes later we have a meeting for the 818 promotion

- Your period is here? - Yeah

Don't eat so many painkillers

It's bad for health

If I don't, how can I survive through the meeting?

When do you think we girls can get menstruation leave?

Don't think about that Have you finished your prize list?

The meeting is starting soon. Hurry up

Okay

Hello? Just give me any boxes you have

Or any bottles you have

I have an emergency here

Can you help me today? I'll get someone to pick them up

I'm okay with the price

Reply me if you have the wine, thanks

What is it, Mom?

- Are you busy? - Yeah, I'm busy

Go back to work, then

I'm going to work till late today

Just speak what's on your mind

Listen, do you remember Aunt Wang from the organization department?

Yeah

No, wait, I don't. Who's that?

Oh, darling

How can you not remember her?

She has a pair of twins

We used to take you and the twins to the public bath at the office

So what? Get to the point

Mom, I'm busy, hurry up

Here's how it is

Aunt Wang's sister has a son

He's about the same age as you

I think he's a fine fellow

Why did you tell someone else about my private life again?

I didn't tell him about your private life

Alas, listen, even if I don't tell him

he can check your company online

He's even checking on me now?

I don't know if he's checked on you

Anyway, he's interested in you

Why don't you add his contact?

I'm busy, and you want me to add him, seriously?

About this...

No, you must seize the moment

Why are you so anxious about this?

How can I not be anxious?

Your birthday is coming soon

35 and 36 years old is a huge difference, isn't it?

One is 30-something, and the other is almost 40

I'm still months away from 36 years old, okay?

- What's wrong with you? That's it - Don't hang up!

Listen, Jia Jia

To put it nicely, you're an ordinary lady

But in another sense, you're just plain ugly

Think about it. What advantage do you have?

What, me, ugly?

Whom do you think I got my looks from, Mom?

Bye

You darned child

Jing, how was the discussion?

It was a huge success

I almost got her to seal the deal right there

Impressive, right?

Come in

Manager Lu

Looking for me?

I've been looking for you the entire morning

I went to Travel Net this morning

Amy and the rest are very interested in our Dali project

She said it has potential

- That's why I... - About that...

Listen to me

As you know, 5G technology has a profound impact on our industry

The company is planning a strategic transformation in the next half of the year

I know, our whole team is committed

We've been working really hard

The industry is picking up

Don't worry, we'll do our best

As long as we work hard, the company is going to get better

We have two proposals for the 818 promotion

First is our classic latte in tins

There are 12 tins in a carton

along with six tins of Americano and three tins of Macchiato for free

The second proposal is our new product, instant cold brew

There are ten packets in a box

along with three tins of Americano, six tins of Macchiato

and a custom celebrity mug for free

Which proposal would you choose?

I'd go for cold brew

The first deal may look like a good bargain since it has more tins

But, Americanos are cheaper

One tin costs around 6.88 yuan

That makes it a 28% discount

As for the second one the retail price of cold brew is higher

There's also a free custom-made celebrity mug

So, that makes a 42% discount

Therefore, the second proposal is a better deal

Come on, how many of our customers would bother calculating such costs?

You think our customers are like you counting every single cent spent?

What kind of proposal is this?

I can't see the promotional advantage at all

Don't forget our goal

It's to sell off our cold brew inventory

Are we having trouble selling the classic tins?

Not at all, they're just there as support

Adjust the free gifts

I want a deal that obviously shows

the advantage of buying the cold brew package

Yi Ning, the production cost of cold brew is higher now

We're minimizing our profits here

If we lower it further it's not going to work out

Also, there's a lot of people waiting for the 818 promotion

Before you get off work today

send me the new list of free gifts and cost report

- Today? - Any problems?

No problem

Let's discuss about the stock now

Yi Ning?

Why don't we take a break now?

It's okay

Miao Miao, it's lunch time now

Get some pizza for everyone We'll eat and discuss at the same time

Okay, I'll order now

- Quick! - Yi Ning!

- Sit down - Slowly

- Take a deep breath - Is this early labor?

Don't panic

Get me my phone

- Quick - Yi Ning

Hubby

I'm about to give birth

I've packed everything

Go home and get my things Wait for me at the hospital

Nonsense, of course I know I'm giving birth, go!

Careful

- Yi Ning - We're almost there

- Yi Ning, please let us accompany you there - We will go with you

There's nothing you can do to help

- Move! - Careful!

Careful

The 818 products...

- Settle the products for 818 today! - Okay!

Open the door

- Send it to me! - Sure, just go now!

Good luck!

Oh my

Even now, Yi Ning is still thinking about work

That's why she's the director

She's really a tough lady

But President Han is tougher

He's replacing Yi Ning while she's having a baby

Enough, let's get back to work

Let's go

You girls go ahead, I need to take this call

Okay

Hello?

Yes, that hotpot restaurant

We're booking a private room?

Okay, I'll confirm and send you the details

Aloha

Woke up yet?

I told you, I woke up a long time ago

Why did you wake up early for a noon shift?

I'm going to World Trade Center today

to buy a present for Jing Jing

Xu Yan, you're crazy Did you strike the lottery?

How much would it cost to buy something there?

You barely paid your credit card debt with your salary last month

If Jing Jing knows about this she's not going to take your present

Jing Jing already knows about this

I've sent her the screenshot from the official site

I'm going to surprise her tonight and render her speechless!

Hey, you've sent her the screenshot

You think you can surprise her?

She'd probably just act along, got it?

Xu Yan, ask Shen Zi Chang to bring you to the hospital someday

to get your brain checked

Curse you, nonsense

Send me the private room number

I'll have the cake sent there

Ask Nan Jia. She booked that restaurant to accommodate you, Miss Workaholic

She specially picked it since it's right below your apartment

Otherwise, we were planning to have French food

Nan Jia is always inviting us to mooch off her

Jing Jing must have felt that Nan Jia has been spending too much

so she chose that hotpot restaurant

Look how thoughtful Jing Jing is, unlike you

Yeah, she's thoughtful, and I'm not?

Wait for it, Qiao Xi Chen I'm going to beat you at drinking tonight

- Are they here? - They are here

My car is parked at B2 Three boxes of wine in the trunk

Get a pump truck to bring them to the multi-functional hall

Okay

- It's Mr. Zhang and Mr. what? - Mr. Wang

Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang

- Oh, you're here - Thanks for waiting

Sorry, I could only get three boxes of wine from 2012

- Three boxes? - Still, there are ten tables, right?

I'd suggest changing the layout tonight

I heard there are four teachers coming

Let them sit at the main table

There are 18 bottles of wine in the three boxes

Serve one bottle at each table and there would be eight left

Give them to the teachers I've pasted stickers on them

They will be placed inside gift bags

We've included a card that says, "Sincerely from Zhi Yi students"

They can take them as commemoration What do you think?

We don't really mind

We must serve the best to our teachers

Of course

Now that we're reseating everyone, this is going to look discriminating

Listen, in such gatherings

we don't want to slot everyone into categories

Yes, I understand, you're right

I remember when we were preparing the invitations

two are medical workers who have served in Wuhan

I suggest we seat them with the teachers

I'm sure the others won't mind

The previous wine will be served as planned

Each table gets seven bottles and if there are 16 people

from our experience, it's enough for everyone to enjoy without getting drunk

Everyone can still catch up

Fine, we'll do as you say

Thank you for understanding

I just set up the multi-functional hall beside here for you

You can go there and take a break Enjoy some tea while waiting for everyone

- It's free - Let's go

Thank you for understanding

Okay

- Are the gift boxes here? - Yes

Miss

This is the latest model we have

It's not sold in other stores It really suits you

It's not for me. It's for someone

Miss, your payment wasn't successful

Why don't you use another card?

You can pay 6,000 yuan with my card

then 2,600 yuan from my Alipay

We did as you requested but it wasn't successful

Why don't you use another card?

Hold on, let me ask someone

Sorry

Hey, Shen Zi Chang

What's wrong with you?

Isn't there 3,000 yuan in our joint Alipay account?

I tried to pay 2,600 yuan and it was unsuccessful

Oh, I noticed that you never used it

I thought you're not using it anymore

So, I bought a pair of sport shoes

Shen Zi Chang, nice job

Hello, so...

I guess I'm not buying this today

Thank you

Miss

Why don't you check this out?

It's from the same series as that one

It's smaller, and it's cheaper by around 2,000 yuan

Actually, I think girls don't have so many things to carry

This size is just perfect

Try it

This is a waist bag, isn't it?

You like it?

Get me! I'm No. 1 at school!

I'm the best in school at kicking the ball!

You've been working here for over four years

Your performance has always been well, but...

Manager Lu, I think...

There must be an explanation or reason if I'm getting fired

On what basis am I getting sacked?

The basis is your work performance, of course

Think about it

Among your team mates, you're the one who works overtime the least, right?

That's because I finished my work on time

After you finished your work you could have helped the others

You youngsters can't be selfish

When I was your age

we did everything the old-timers did

including cleaning work

Manager Lu, I don't understand

I'm getting sacked because

I didn't help them complete the work they're supposed to do?

Then, why don't you sack those who didn't complete their work?

Based on your logic, I even need to help the cleaning janitor, do I?

I'm just giving an example

I can explain it clearer

Either you have the network

or it depends on your overtime performance

You need to think comprehensively

Actually, I'm letting you go for your own good

Who knows, you can unleash your potential in other companies?

Fine

Manager Lu, I get what you mean

Let's discuss about compensation, then

Listen

Maybe I didn't make it clear just now

I hope you can resign

Don't worry, I can write you a recommendation letter

You want me to resign?

I think this is too much!

You're even trying to skimp on compensation now?

What if I don't resign?

We have an elimination system in place

We can sack those who do not meet their target for half a year

That would leave a blemish on your record

Don't even expect a recommendation letter by then

Aunt!

Call me Sister

Our ball is stuck on the tree

Can you get it down?

Sure, what should you call me?

Sister, thank you

Okay, let me check

Let me see

How should I get it down?

I'll use my blazer, then

Step aside. Look closely

Yeah!

- Thank you, Sister! - You're welcome

Aunt, what about your blazer?

It's Sister!

Sister, what about your blazer?

I'll just leave it there

Run along, it's okay

- You've got your ball, go! - Time to go home!

- Qi Qi! - Let's bring it back home!

Jing Jing, I've gotten you a present

It's smaller, but it's really pretty!

Come on, Xu Yan. How is it a surprise when you've revealed it?

Don't toy with Jing Jing's feelings

You're just jealous. I'm sure Jing Jing will love my present the most tonight

Are you making light of Nan Jia?

Listen, Nan Jia has never lost when it comes to presents

Nan Jia, I don't mind celebrating my birthday earlier today

Today is Friday The roads are going to be jammed for sure

If you get there early, eat first Don't wait for me

Just order anything you like

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

What's going on?

Why isn't there anyone here when it's just noon?

- Where were you? I couldn't get to you - Buying lunch

Go, it's time for a meeting

- What meeting? - About the new director replacing Yi Ning

So fast? Yi Ning's baby probably hasn't even come out yet

Hurry up. Don't say anything wrong later

Hello, my colleagues from the marketing department

I'm Jian Yi Fan

Starting from today

I will replace Miss Lu Yi Ning as the director of marketing department

I hope that in the future we can work together...

Thanks

Since we have another colleague coming in

let me introduce myself again

I'm Jian Yi Fan

I'm going to skip the formalities

I only ask for two things from all of you

First, do what you're supposed to do

Second, enjoy

Our industry's nature requires us

to keep observing our customers' preferences

so we can create successful products and marketing strategies

So, other than work

I welcome you to approach me for a meal or chat

I play tennis pretty well

Feel free to ask me out for a match

I spoke so much just now because I think

work and rest are equally important

So, unless you have to

I don't want any of you to bring your meals to your desk or meeting room

If you eat at where you work no matter how delicious it is

it's not going to taste as nice

Work-life balance is important. Thank you

Everyone

Miss Lu is officially on maternity leave starting today

but our work in the marketing department cannot stop

Mr. Jian was just giving a simple self-introduction

I'm sure you can see that he is a leader who is easy to get along with

Next, Mr. Jian has something important to announce

Okay, let me get down to business

Before you leave today

I hope to receive a work report for the past six months from each of you

I want details of your work scope in every project you've worked in

and an ROA analysis

Remember, I want details

[Qiao, someone barged into your house] This will decide whether I can still

see you next month at Yann Coffee

[What's going on? I'm at work] You heard it right

What I'd like to announce is that starting from today

the marketing department will have an elimination system in place

like other departments such as sales

That means on this day next month,

one-third of you will be leaving Yann Coffee

That's all

Now, please introduce yourselves

Who wants to go first?

Let's start from our colleague who hasn't had lunch, then

How should I call you?

Qiao Xi Chen

How should I call you?

Hello, I'm Qiao Xi Chen, I'm so sorry

I have an emergency Can I take leave for two hours?

- Hello? - Hello, Jing Jing

Where are you?

What's wrong?

My neighbor messaged me and said that

someone barged into my house and apparently it's the landlord

- I don't know what's going on - Okay, don't panic

Are you okay? I'm coming

I'm free, don't panic I'll be there right away

Who are you guys?

Who let you in my house?

Miss

It's great that you're back

Look closely, I'm the owner of this house

I'm officially ordering you

to move out of my house right away!

- Why? - Why?

Because you didn't pay rent for three months!

What do you mean, I didn't pay rent?

I did, I just paid for six months upfront

See, here's the transaction record

I just paid rent for the next six months last week

Miss, I believe that you're not a con-artist

But you didn't pay me

I didn't see a single cent of money for the past three months

Now, my son is waiting for the money to pay his house loan

It's been delayed for over a month

Today, if you don't pay the rent

we're going to move all your things out

Sir, calm down I think there's some misunderstanding

I paid the rent to the agency

Ask the agency what happened Did you not receive the money?

- Miss - Ask the agency, will you?

I'd like to ask you instead

I went there just now and there's no one there

Agency? More like trickery!

Let me make a call

Stop moving!

Mr. Liu, I'm Qiao Xi Chen

Didn't you ask me last month

to pay you the rent for the next six months?

The landlord is here and he said he didn't receive the money

What's going on?

[You have been blocked by this user]

Well? Any news?

Why wouldn't you listen?

I told you, that place was empty

Not a single soul there

What happened?

Jing Jing, I think I was conned by the agency

I just paid six months' rent to the agency because they said the landlord needed it

Now, the landlord said he didn't receive the money

I tried to call the agency but the call didn't go through

It's okay, let's find that agency

No, it's empty, they've all left

They left like that? This is absurd!

Absurd?

My rent is all gone. Isn't this absurd?

I'm begging you

Please move out now

If I don't rent this place out I'd need to rent a house myself!

We've packed everything in the living room, what else?

That room

Wait

My personal belongings are in this room You have no right to move them

We'll stay out of this room You can pack them up yourself

Sir, this is too sudden

Give us some time

We'll see what we can do once we get everything straight

I can't wait anymore

It's only natural to pay rent if you're renting

If you've been conned that's your own business

Either you pay up or move out

Someone is coming this afternoon to view the unit

I don't have any money!

I gave all my money to the agency!

Sir, I'm not going to mooch off you

Please give me a few days, will you?

Lady, if I help you, who would help me?

The bank is going to blacklist my son

You're broke? Ask your parents for money

Borrow from your colleagues and friends

Youngsters like you can even

borrow money online!

Do you have money? Lend her some

I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore

If you're not moving your stuff, I'll help you

Get going! I hired you guys for half a day!

I'm not paying more for overtime! Move all of them!

What are you doing?

Don't come here! I'm calling the police!

What are you doing?

- Go in! - I'm calling the police!

Hey, Miss!

Miss, what's with you?

Step aside. I don't want to fight a lady

- Hey, I'll show you! Move! - Don't come here!

- I'm calling the police! - Move!

Even the police wouldn't side with you!

Move!

- Move! - Who dares to touch her?

Who dares to touch her? Come on!

You scared me just now

We've known each other for so long

I've never seen you like this

What? I was scaring them, not you

You call that scaring?

You looked like you were for real, holding that cleaver

- "Die!" - Not so loud

When did you become so bold?

I just talked to the landlord He's not pursuing this further

- Sign here, you can go back afterwards - Okay

So, Officer Tan...

My rent...

The agency's actions can be construed as fraud

We will contact other victims to lodge an investigation

We will need you to tell us about details of your renting experience

- and provide relevant evidence - No problem

Still, the landlord is a victim in this case too

I talked to him, and he's willing to give you three days to move out

Three days?

Sure, no problem

- Thank you - No problem

- Come on, we need to take your statement - Okay

- I'll wait for you here - Oh, right

When I checked your ID I noticed that it's your birthday today

Don't be so rash in the future What if you hurt yourself?

- Happy birthday - Thank you

Let's go

- Happy birthday - Thank you

Wait for me

[Reception]

Feeling better?

Are you still going to my home?

- Yeah - Let's go

Okay, no problem, I...

Later, I'm outside

I'll send you when I'm in front of my computer, okay?

I have an incoming call, excuse me

Okay, I'll tell you when I send it

- Qiao Qiao - Hello?

Hey, what's wrong?

I've already fixed the document

You want it today? I still need to add a watermark

Hello, Miao, the signal here is bad I can't hear what you say

I can't go back now

Go back, I'll handle things here I'm free this afternoon

I'm hanging up. Okay

Don't worry

Hey, Jing

Just leave them here

I have three days I'll pack up slowly afterwards

Sister, you have three days and you're not worried?

Why are you so optimistic?

There's nothing I can do even if I worry about it

It's okay, I've thought about it

There's no way I can find a place in three days

If worst comes to worst I'll just ask my parents for help

Put it down

Let's go

- Go back to work - It's okay

Listen, today...

Go back to work

I've taken the day off. It's my birthday

I come and go as I like

- Really? - Yeah

Seriously, on your birthday,

I actually got you to work as a laborer

I'm inhumane

Qiao, how pitiful you are

You just lost your home

If you don't get back to work you're going to lose your job

Why are you cursing me? Touchwood!

- Touch it! - Quickly, go!

Hey, are you really wearing this for tonight?

Of course I'm going back to change into a dress

- Put your lipstick on - Got it

- See you later - Go, see you later!

- Stop packing up - Okay

[Sweaters]

- Done - Qiao Xi Chen

Can't you spend like 200 yuan to hire some movers?

Must you torture us both?

Thank you

Hey, don't stop, why are you sitting down?

Help her open the boxes

- Otherwise, she can't sleep tonight - I'm pooped!

It's okay, don't worry. Thanks, Jing Jing

You've tidied everything up so nicely

I'm going to sleep on the mattress tonight

As for the rest I'll pack them up during the day

Look how smart she is

She's just so clever

Now, I have something important to announce

To thank you for your kind help today

I'm going to treat you both to hotpot!

- Hotpot! - There's only one kind lady here

There's another one

Who knows why she wore this miniskirt here today?

Also, you're not treating us today

My cousin is going to treat you to congratulate you for the move

You girls don't need to argue Anyone can treat

Can I bring Shen Zi Chang too?

He's been craving for hotpot I have to bring him out too

Then, I'd like to know why you didn't ask him to come

when we were moving the heaviest box here just now?

Well, he is too dumb

Enough, that's okay

It's my treat tonight and it's just one more mouth to feed

Can't I even afford that?

- See? - No wonder you wore like that

Xu Yan

Let's start from you What do you want to order?

I want pig's brain

I think you're the pig brain here

It's pork brain, not pig's brain

Mind your tongue

The pig brain is on a killing spree!

Why aren't you helping me?

[Nan Jia, remember to go for your checkup at 4 pm later]

[Don't worry, I remember]

Excuse me, can you repeat that?

- Thank you for calling, I hope... - Hello, Mr. Zhang

to set a time at your convenience for him to visit your place

Is there anything else I can help?

Okay, thank you for calling

Please leave...

Air-conditioning?

- Hi - Hi

Oh dear

You're drinking coffee now? You're not sleeping tonight?

I'm preparing for working all night

You, working all night?

We've known each other for so long I've never heard you pulling one

It's all because of that work report

I might not even finish it by tomorrow morning

Come on, have you done so much to include in your report?

Mr. Jian said he wants more details

This is going to decide whether we can keep our jobs

Be serious Don't blame me for not reminding you

I am serious. It's just that there's something good about me

Whenever I finish a project I do a write-up immediately

So, I'll just need to copy and paste

This is pure boasting

Come on, don't think so much

He's going to look at our individual capabilities,

not choosing the best report

This is not an essay competition, right?

Do you think Mr. Jian is replacing Yi Ning temporarily, or...

- Are you dumb? - What?

If it's just temporary

why would he be involved in something as troublesome as retrenching?

Yeah

You think Yi Ning knows about this?

Of course not

She's still assigning tasks and thinking about work on the ambulance

Do you think she'd know?

That's terrible

Terrible as they may be Let's focus on ourselves

I told you

It was Old President Han who sent Mr. Jian here

Mr. Jiang and President Han Jr. are getting a divorce

If they're really going to split their assets

we're going to be sacrificed first

I don't get it

How is their divorce related to our work?

Of course they're related

This is a family business

A family is built before they establish a business

Even if Yi Ning isn't having a baby

she's still Mr. Jiang's protege

Would Old President Han still want her here?

I heard that Mr. Jian was vacationing in some village

when the old president went there personally to beg him

to take over as the marketing director

He didn't even go through Sai Wen

Say, your analysis sounds logical

- Right? - I listened

Okay, I think we should just do a good job at work

Then, no one can pick on us, right?

You...

You're just too naive

I'm going to write my report

[Who's going to foot the bill tonight?]

[Come on, no matter whose birthday it is, I will treat you]

Go ahead

I've arranged for your checkup

The nurse will bring you clothes for you to change into

I know, I'm an old-timer I know all the procedures

I hope this is the last time

I hope so too

It will be

[Mother]

Hello

Didn't I tell you not to call me when I'm working?

It's already six Haven't you gotten off work yet?

Besides, what's wrong with answering a call during work?

Forget it, you just came back? Why so late?

The gathering ended a long time ago

Your aunts insisted that I go shopping with them

I just came back from the mall

You went shopping? What did you buy?

Nothing

Just buy whatever you like. I'll pay

Enough, stop wasting money

Besides, I'm old now All those clothes look the same on me

What do you mean, you're old?

Seeing how pretty you are

you're going to steal the spotlight wherever you go

Just doll yourself up

Even if I'm broke there's still Shen Zi Chang

- You dote on him so much, after all - No, no

Don't make him buy stuff for me

I don't need anything

I just want the both of you to enjoy life

I'm already satisfied with that

By the way, I brought out the bag you gave me last time

Your aunts praised me

How did they praise you?

They said it's nice

How is it nice?

Your eldest aunt didn't say anything

But her daughter, Yan Ping, was so rude

She said that the bag isn't from an international brand

and that she just bought a bag for your aunt

which costs thrice the amount of my bag

What does she know? Why is she so annoying?

What's her bag?

I don't know

She said it's... I don't know

I think it was Lou or something

Is there such a brand?

Yan Yan, the bag you bought for me is pretty expensive too

It doesn't suit me and I don't really need it

I'll send it back to you, okay? You can have it

I have lots of bags Shen Zi Chang keeps buying for me

Don't worry about me

I'll buy another bag just like hers for you

Gosh, why do I need to compare with her?

No need. Don't buy me anything

Why? Every bag looks the same on me

Don't waste money We don't need such vanity, you hear me?

Save up. You haven't even gotten married yet

Stop worrying about me

- That's all for now. I love you - Okay

Qiao, what are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

I've already sent my work report I'm getting off work now

- He hasn't left yet - Who?

Sit down. Work a little longer

[Dear friends, do you know any houses I can rent?]

Dad, what is it?

My daughter, how's it going?

Pretty good. I'm getting off work soon

Today is Jing Jing's birthday

Xu Yan, Nan Jia and I are going to have dinner with her

Dinner? That's nice

Listen, don't let Nan Jia foot the bill every time

She's Jing Jing's cousin, not yours

Don't mooch her off all the time It's inappropriate

It's my treat tonight, don't worry

I'm ending this call. I need to go now

Hey, wait!

Did you just publish a post online looking for a house to rent?

Why? Are you moving out?

I'm asking on behalf of my colleague

Why would I want to move? I'm happy in my house

Exactly

I saw on the news that Beijing has been tackling

the problem of cramped rented properties

I was worried that you might get involved

Me, get involved? Don't worry

Okay

Hey, what's wrong with your voice? Are you down with a cold?

A little. I've taken some pills

Don't worry, I'm okay

Don't give me that "I'm okay" talk

Take your medicine if you're sick

Did you drink flu tea?

Check the dates before you drink

Don't drink it if it's expired, okay?

Dad, I have to go now

It's going to be peak hour soon. Bye

Okay, that's all for now You'd better get going

Don't eat spicy food if you're having a cold

Dad, well...

What are you and Mom having for dinner?

Your mother is making dumplings

We've got dandelions from last spring

She's wrapping dumplings now

If you're keeping the dumplings in the fridge later

don't keep them in there for days

Leftover food is bad for health

You have a weak stomach

Just throw them away if you can't finish them

Okay, got it

- Bye - Bye

Qiao

Mr. Jian, were you looking for me?

Sit down

[Hotpot restaurant]

You're early. Your friends aren't here yet

These flowers were just delivered

Yes, I came early

Do you want to order now or do you want to wait for your friends?

It's okay, I have something to do I might leave and come back later

- Okay, ring the bell if you need us - Thank you

I'm already here!

I've ruined the surprise you've prepared for me!

There are 26 flowers each as beautiful as each of you

As beautiful as me

When you arrive, you will see a pretty me waiting for you!

Sorry, darling. I didn't know you wanted to spend that money

Had I known earlier I wouldn't have touched it

You weren't planning to let me use the money in the account at all

I swear to God, I opened that joint account for you

I noticed that you weren't planning to spend the money

and those shoes just came out

so I wanted to buy them this month

We've been dating for so long

It's always been Hu Jing Jing's birthday today

I've always needed money on this day

I was too careless

I remembered you saying last month that it's time to be frugal

I thought you're saving up to buy Jing Jing a present

It's my mother's birthday last month and Jing Jing's birthday this month

Do you know how embarrassed I was today?

What's so embarrassing?

Just buy it if you have the money and walk away if you don't

They can't force you to buy it

I've already told Jing Jing what I wanted to buy for her

Besides, where were you when I was quarantined?

It was Jing Jing who delivered meals to me every day

When I told you about the present you praised me for being a good friend

How could you forget?

No, my mom wouldn't let me go out back then

You're a good friend and I'm a petty boyfriend

Sorry, Xu Yan, don't be mad

Hey, you girls are going to drink, right?

I'll sit there and wait for you girls

I'll send each of you back home

If you're still ignoring me think about Qiao Xi Chen

Given how miserly she is would she even get a taxi?

No need, we're having dinner right below her apartment

She can walk back

What about Jing Jing? She's been so nice to us

You want her to take the subway back alone?

I'm the only one insensible here, aren't I?

That's not what I mean

Come on, Xu Yan. We should cut our coat according to our cloth, right?

I know you want to buy presents for Jing Jing and your mother

Even a spendthrift can stretch their money until the end of the month

But you've barely...

Shen Zi Chang

I get what you're saying

You mean I'm spending your money, right?

I've always bought you something when you give me presents

Besides, did I use your money when I bought presents for my mother and Jing Jing?

Yeah, but when you're broke I helped you pay your rent

Feeling upset now?

You're my boyfriend What's wrong with spending money on me?

If you don't like it you don't have to be my boyfriend

- No, where are you going? - Hey, is this your car?

I'm taking the subway. Don't pull me

- I'm driving - Move your car!

Wait! Xu Yan!

- Wait! - I'm calling the police!

Hurry up, move your car!

Move your car now!

Don't you know you can't park here?

- Stop shouting, I got it - Faster!

I'm so sorry

I'm really sorry. Here, I have some wet wipes

Please help yourself

- Hello, Chen Chen - Hi, Mom

I'm fine

I'm on the subway, I'm going somewhere

Don't believe what Dad said

Tell my dad to cut back on alcohol

Hello?

Someone, help!
