[My Dear Lady]

[Episode 2] [Rules for the workplace]

Kind.

Straightforward.

Come on. Try this.

Sincere.

Are you sure that's your boss, Cheng Li?

I'm telling you,

we judged him wrong before.

Look at you.

He just visited you at the hospital

and gave you a week off,

and now you are taking his side.

You are just forgetting his misbehavior.

Listen up,

Don't take the boss's emotion investment

in the workplace

for real,

OK?

Alright, I get it.

Dealership?

Me...me?

Yes.

Inglemirepharm'spharm's dealership.

But Director Lin

hasn't gained this project all the time.

Go out and count

how many employees in our company.

You should know idlers are not allowed here.

Your payment is of a senior assistant,

so your capability should match with it.

If the dealership is not obtained in a week,

you, get lost.

Are you happy with you work?

Yes, I am.

I gave me task right away,

and increase my wage.

Increase your wage?

You're the first one who is going to be fired

and negotiates wages with me.

But I'm doing works of two persons.

You don't have to come to my house.

I will hire a housekeeper.

However,

you have to come to my house in advance in the morning and evening,

and keep on eye on the housekeeper.

But Uncle Wen has told me

you don't like to live with strangers

or contact with strangers.

So you need to find a personal assistant.

I can meet all of your demand,

on call 24 hours

and without my own life.

Such kind of person is hard to find.

So this requirement should be reasonable.

Yes, it is.

What else?

Can I move from a store room to a guest room?

I can see the moon before sleep,

meet the sunlight before wake up.

So next, shall we talk about

the rent?

Regarding of this,

you shouldn't care about it.

I have talked to Assistant Wang

that most of my wage every month

will be counted into

your bank account for repairing your car by stages.

For you, it's all your after all.

You do the math.

I appreciate your negotiation.

A little rascal

but reasonable.

Deal.

How is it?

You are bold when negotiating with me about money,

now you are timid holding my hands.

So,

don't worry.

Just one week passed,

I have moved from a store room

to

an independent room with windows and toilet,

which is the most expensive villa in this city.

I am still that fiery girl, Ling Xun Xun.

Still, the same word.

If you feel wronged or

tired,

you just come back.

Milk tea!

Great, Xun Xun.

How smart you are!

I'm now here

I'm doing this to please others.

Well done!

Flies of Inglemirepharm'spharm's.

Thanks.

Yeah, Director Lin.

Could you give the information of their contact?

Are you kidding?

You're so simple.

Our brand, Youmeiling,

is an old cosmetic brand which is about to collapse.

You know that, right?

So taking down Inglemirepharm'spharm's dealership

is her first deal after she worked at our company.

To hire Director Lin with a high salary

because of her connections.

Why has she not got it done yet?

Think about it.

A high-up is coming out of nowhere in Inglemirepharm'spharm's.

It has changed most of its staff.

Even Director Lin can't find a way out

and asked her connections for help.

God knows for what reasons,

Mr Cheng suddenly asked you to follow this project.

Isn't it obvious that he puts more pressure on her?

Besides,

you,

you acted like a fool

asked her for connection.

Is that a slap in her face or a provocation?

Then I don't understand it.

That...

Why Mr Cheng asked me to be in charge of this project?

I think

there're two possibilities.

First one,

he wanted you to back down knowing how hard is this.

Then you resign,

game over.

Second one.

I think he asked Director Lin to force you out.

game over too.

So.

You are not safe yet.

Fighting.

Since you brought me milk tea,

I decided to tell you something.

Inglemirepharm'spharm's new brand director is called Eric.

Eric?

Thanks.

Hi.

May I see Eric?

Do you have an appointment?

No.

Do you have a card?

I could give him your card.

and reschedule for you.

No card.

A friendly reminder.

People connection

is a part of your capabilities to survive at the workplace.

I suggest you should start with your friends.

To see who is in charge of Inglemirepharm'spharm's now.

[Zhou Quan]

Thank you. Zhou Quan.

But I can't rely on you my whole life.

Hello?

Right.

One takeout.

To Eric from Inglemirepharm'spharm's.

Make sure he gets it in person.

In person!

Why are standing? Lay down.

It is not appropriate.

How?

Come on. Faster.

Back up a bit. Back up a bit.

Back up a bit. Back up a bit.

It's all your fault.

I am dead now.

That new girl.

You let her close the Inglemirepharm'spharm's deal.

Are you serious?

Aren't you afraid it would backfire?

Every company needs to train the newbie.

I trained you for months

to get you level up to this position.

But when I was on a mission, I still serve as a cannon fodder.

Crawling out of a pile of cannon fodder makes her a comrade.

if not,

she is really the cannon fodder.

Hello, takeout for Eric.

It needs him to sign for it in person.

OK.

Eric, your takeout is here.

Hello,

I am Ling Xun Xun from Youmeiling cosmetics,

Mr Cheng's assistant.

May I borrow your time for ten minutes?

Get in the car.

Do you take me as your driver?

I am sorry.

Sorry.

Eight minutes left.

[Voice memos]

Previously, for Inglemirepharm'spharm's dealership,

our company has submitted a proposal.

But it doesn't have our spot

at the first bid.

May you please give us another chance?

Mr Cheng sent a gorgeous woman to ambush me,

even got in my car.

He went through all this trouble.

Should I be appreciated?

Don't be nervous.

It's not impossible to submit another proposal.

It depends on how sincere your company is.

What are you doing? Please behave yourself.

Young lady,

you came to me and asked for an opportunity.

No way.

Let me get off.

Stop. Stop the car.

What does your company mean?

Do you know the rules?

Eric.

I just want to win a fair chance to offer our proposal.

I am not selling myself.

Eric?

Didn't your firm do background research?

I don't even know who I am.

And you want to negotiate with me?

But this noon,

I ordered a takeout for Eric.

And it was you who took it.

So you just can take me as Eric.

If Eric hear today's conversation,

what would he think?

We are standing in a business area.

There are surveillance everywhere.

If you take another step forward,

I will scream for help.

Besides,

all recordings will be replicated automatically to my e-mail.

It would be useless if you took my phone.

Fine.

What do you want?

Introduce Eric to me.

Then I delete the recordings.

Do I look stupid to you?

I am here for business.

There is no need to fight you.

Also today it was me who got in your car.

Maybe I sent a wrong signal.

I don't want it to spread out either.

At 10:00 tomorrow,

Inglemirepharm'spharm's shop which is near our firm,

Eric will come to check it out.

I will be there too.

Then you do what you need to do.

Thank you.

[Cheng Li] I got off work in half an hour.

Are you exhausted?

I am fine.

I am still adjusting.

Who did you see?

I made an appointment with Eric from Inglemirepharm's.

That's fast.

I will see him tomorrow.

I will wait for your good news.

I don't want porridge again tomorrow.

Ok. OK.

What's a nice color.

It's really suitable.

Excuse me. May I ask you a question?

In this neighborhood,

does it have stores that sell bread and cakes?

I met you before.

You are the girlfriend of the cute guy from A5.

No. No.

I am his assistant.

It's not as you think.

It does not matter what I think.

What matters is what you think right now.

Do you want to buy breakfast?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Every mooring in our club,

we offer all kinds of breakfast.

You give me a time,

I will deliver it to you.

Really?

Great.

I don't need to think

what breakfast I should make for him.

How about that?

You bring it to me at 7:30 everyday.

Do not ring the doorbell.

Call me.

I come and get it.

I see.

He will take it

as a love breakfast that you make.

I heard my colleagues highly recommended this brand to us.

It's said that it was effective.

Let me see for a second.

Hi, young ladies,

Welcome to Inglemirepharm's.

In Inglemirepharm's,

we adapt the skin care concept of cleaning, repairing and maintaining

especially for Asian women.

According to your skin status,

we can customize your skin products

or a cosmetic plan.

Take a look at these items.

This is hyaluronic acid,

placenta.

and Truffe series.

It is very popular.

Which series do you want to know?

Le mt introduce for you.

I want to see some moisturizer.

I recommend you this one.

Our hyaluronic acid series.

It is a foundation

to moisturize and protect our skin.

Let me give you a try on your hand.

OK.

See, this is very easy to spread out.

Peter.

Is it here?

Yes, it's here.

Not bad.

This is our flagship store.

I am going to go check the store.

Hello.

May I know you?

What's the matter?

You don't know me?

Should I know you?

You kept starring at me.

Isn't it because I am handsome?

Hi.

I am Ling Xun Xun from Yumeiling,

Cheng Li's assistant.

I know you.

You knew?

Are you?

Are you my university schoolmate?

How about that?

Miss school babe.

I'm wondering if you know this person.

Zhou Quan.

You are Zhou Quan‘s friend.

Here.

This is my business card.

Thank you.

[Hui Yi Wang]

Hui Yi Wang.

You are Hui Yi Wang.

We finally met in the flesh.

Did you know that?

How many time did I not meet you at Zhou Quan's birthday?

Who would have thought that we met at this place.

This is fate.

Fate is always so amazing.

Great. Wonderful.

How about that

I buy you lunch this noon?

My palce, my treat.

How could it be?

I am going to bribe you with this lunch.

So please give me a chance.

There is no need.

Didn't you just need a chance to submit a proposal?

Ok. I gave you my word.

You just don't need to bribe me.

So easy.

Yes.

Would it put you into trouble?

What if what we do is a violation?

After all you are a friend of Zhou Quan.

I can't risk your career for my job.

It's real though,

During last bid,

your firm was excluded.

Actually it was because Director Lin.

She was too close with our former executive.

However, he resigned

because of some financial issues.

So between them there is a very delicate connection.

You know.

I suggest you

that you should switch someone else to handle this .

I think either Cheng Li or you are fine.

That's good.

Well.

Thank you.

Could we go to lunch now?

OK.

We order something fancy.

Cheng Li will pay.

What are we having?

That's fine, take your time.

Mr Cheng.

Mr Cheng.

I...I did it.

You get the dealership?

Not yet.

Four days until I fire you.

But.

Inglemirepharm's allows us to submit a new proposal.

Good.

First step of a long march.

Go back to write a new proposal report.

OK.

Yes.

You are remarkable. Ling Xun Xun.

All material is here.

Go finish your proposal.

Thanks.

No company could not give you

the salary I offer.

So if you leave now,

it's a loss to you.

How do you know I want to quit?

Back then I poached you

for your people network on the one hand,

and work capability on the other.

You are the top in the industry.

No one could question it.

But I didn't think that

my connections would hold me back.

Unexpected.

No one could expect that.

A newbie stole your chance.

You should be pissed, right?

I only care about results.

Ling Xun Xun can bring us good results.

But she could only handle entry level,

after that she can't do it.

But if we really represent this brand,

they will take your capability into account.

So don't mind her.

She is just a pawn in this game.

Treat her properly.

Add more introductions of our company.

For example,

of all building we developed,

we offer them free entry.

All of our company's media resources can be shared.

Didn't you

say it before

that you don't want to have any connections with your mom's company?

The last proposal

was with Director Lin as its main core.

Now we can't feature her personal brand.

I need to offer

something more appealing.

This is business.

It's not a time to fight my mom.

Of course.

As my mother,

she should feel privileged to be used by me from time to time.

You've got some nerve.

May I speak a few word?

I think we can find

some spokespersons who are highly suitable for our brand.

The expected and the unexpected.

You can have a small meeting

thinking who are our candidates.

Who is this?

Who turned off the light?

Turn it on.

Mr Cheng.

It's just you and me now.

That's such a waste.

It won't cost you a penny.

Why do you care about it?

But at least we need to be environmental.

Turned off the lights over there.

Wherever I go, there is light.

Mr Cheng.

Are you sacred of ghost?

Nonsense.

Why are you hitting me?

I just kidding.

By the way,

I am older than you.

I am sort of your sister.

Sister?

Sorry.

Apology after you said something means nothing.

Get off work.

Boss.

After I drop you off your house,

could I go meet with a friend?

It's the woman in the hospital from last time?

So scary.

She is nothing feminine.

I am the one who is her friend.

I am not finding a girlfriend for you.

I couldn't handle this kind.

Plus.

She's too old for me.

What?

She has tons of pursuers.

Besides,

you're not her type.

Then you tell me.

Which type am I?

I am too afraid to say.

Spill it.

Give you a get-out-of-jail-for-free card.

You have a face of

a sunny and young boy.

In fact,

you are stone-cold.

Have I treated you too nice lately?

To make you think we're friends.

You said it's OK.

Zhou Quan!

Zhou Quan!

Hi!

Is he eighteen?

He already graduated from college.

Underage?

Please!

Help that kid!

Knock it off!

Just tell me,

How?

How did you meet Hui Yi Wang?

He told you?

Ling Xun Xun.

Am I your friend?

It only takes a phone call for me to sort it out.

Why need you to

to run into him on purpose?

First.

I didn't know that he was Hui Yi Wang.

If I knew that already,

why do I take much trouble?

I almost got harassed.

What?

Harassed?

What's going on?

I am fine.

Cheng Li told me that

people connection is a part of your capability at the workplace.

He asked me to find an acquaintance first.

So.

I called you first.

But.

I hung up anyway.

Keep going.

Since my divorce,

you have been taking very good care of me,

and staying with me.

I lived under your roof.

And you were secretly looking job for me.

Financially or spiritually,

you are my support.

But I couldn't keep relying on you.

I am twenty-nine years old already.

I am a mother of a child.

I am his support too.

I think.

I couldn't rely on you of everything.

But I think

between you and me, you don't need to be like that.

And this time,

it's your luck to meet Hui Yi Wang.

But in the workplace,

not everything is about luck.

Didn't you compliment that

I was good at taking tasks?

As long as there was an important task, I would get a high grade.

Because at that time, my goal was very clear.

I just wanted to try hard and review well

to get a high grade,

so I would feel a sense of success.

But doing nothing at home these years,

I have forgotten what sense of success is.

As if except having Du Du, I

have no dream at all.

However, you know

after I entered the workplace,

that excitement and thrill

are found at once.

I believe I can do it.

I have to.

I want to prove myself to everyone.

Look,

I have my business card.

Look.

I have a title.

In the past, I was called Du Du's mom.

Now I'm Ling Xun Xun, an assistant of a manager.

The first card

is mine.

So,

I just simply want to flaunt myself.

Stubborn Cow.

I understand what you said.

And I feel sorry for you.

Haven't you

told your mom about your divorce yet?

I...

I don't have time to tell her.

But Zhou Quan,

don't call me Stubborn Cow,

or I will break with you. Break with you.

What about Stubborn Cow?

Stubborn Cow is so cute.

I'm telling you,

Stubborn Cow is the image of you in my head

which impressed me most.

Above all, it is our proposal.

Mr Cheng.

I'm very satisfied with your proposal.

Besides that,

you still offer us your resources.

I will report it to our headquarter.

The result will be out in a week.

Thank you very much.

Looking forward to your good news.

Let's call it a day.

Peter,

Let's add each other on Wechat.

It will be convenient to contact yo if there is anything.

OK. OK.

You are Ling...?

Ling Xun Xun.

Mr Cheng's assistant.

Alright.

What a rare surname.

It's easy to remember.

[Ling Xun Xun] There is no recording that day.

But please behave well in the future.

Don't fall in a same trap.

Peter

Have you met Xun Xun before?

Yes, I have.

Once in the restaurant downstairs,

she came to ask me who was Eric.

What a stupid way.

Why didn't you let them

come to our company to present the proposal?

There are a lot of rumors about this Mr Cheng.

So I wanted to visit their company in person

to have a general idea.

The company is small.

Cheng Min Yu's son

is not ordinary,

unlike other rich second generations.

It is interesting.

Mr Cheng. Mr Cheng.

Have dinner together tonight.

-Thank you, Mr Cheng. -Thank you, Mr Cheng.

No results yet,

why are you so happy?

80% success rate.

That's quite conservative.

To be successful or not,

I think everyone has worked hard this time.

I should treat everyone.

It seems

Someone's job is temporarily saved.

But how do I feel

there is no 80% possibility?

Which party A company is not interested in you,

yet come to listen to your proposal?

Then the remaining 20%?

Boss, thanks for the second party.

Cheers.

-Thank you, boss. -Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Thank you, boss.

Cheers. Cheers. Cheers.

Assistant Wang, order songs.

You do it.

What songs do you sing? Let me order for you.

Assistant Wang, sing.

Assistant Wang, sing.

Where is she?

Miss, Miss.

Enjoy yourself if you have fun here.

Do not touch me.

This collar also needs to be opened.

Pull up your skirt.

What are you doing you?

That looks good.

Stay away.

Call someone quickly.

OK.

I haven't practiced for a long time.

My bones are getting rigid.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong.

I would do that no matter who the girl is.

I just saw your hand hurt.

Is this what you carry?

Since being your assistant,

I dare not use a small bag.

I'm afraid you need it anytime.

So I bring all the daily necessities with me.

Give me your hand.

Slow down.

Wait.

I just seemed to be an eighteen-year-old girl.

A bunch of classmates were fighting for me.

Do you think too much, aunt?

We are still a generation away.

Classmate?!

You exaggerated it.

Who is your aunt?

At most I'm your sister.

Assistant Wang.

You have obviously been idle recently.

Ling Xun Xun shared a lot of burden.

Look.

What was I saying before?

I said Miss Xun Xun

can arrange things clearly for our boss.

Nonsense.

I don't like this goblin.

Succeeded.

We got the dealership.

Really!?

Really? Are you sure of it?

Where is the boss?

Boss?

Shouldn't I ask you about that?

Lawyer Zhou,

Please advise in the future.

When did you know me?

In a previous business forum,

when you made a speech as a guest.

So when in the hospital,

you recognized me?

Back then, I'm not sure about it.

I found out after checking.

You did a background research.

Just professional habit.

You also know my relationship with Hui Yi Wang.

You two are friends for ten years.

You used to be the legal counsel for their company.

This should be his mediation.

This circle is so small.

You can know it by a simple way.

So

you have thought about it from the beginning

to use Xun Xun to contact Hui Yi Wang through me.

Seriously,

one risking trick

unexpectedly can bring me success.

Very good, Mr Cheng.

You did a good job in using.

No wonder you reminded Xun Xun

to use her relationships well.

I still have to thank you formally.

You don't have to.

You can make Ling Xun Xun useful for you,

I should thank you.

So please use her well,

and treat her well.

I believe she will not let you down.

You can rest assured.

Stop bullshitting.

The legal advisory contract of your head office.

will expire in half a year.

Cancel it with them,

and sign with us for three years

Sure enough, it was Lawyer Zhou.

But it's my mom's company,

I can't make a decision yet.

I can offer you

our company's five-year contract.

Half year later,

I will introduce your team to our head office.

Will you just chat with my mom?

Deal.

Don't you eat?

I can't eat facing you for the time being.

Let me take some time.

Happy cooperation.
