I'm Tao Liu.

Are you my Tao?

Ting.

Forgive me.

I can't stand people like Zhang Beilei.

They steal from me.

Let her go.

You're crazy again.

Don't push me.

Eat this.

What can I wear.

Girl.

Don't run.

You'll be happy with me.

Come out.

... And now the news...

Miss Zhang, 16, bullied in a school of our city...

who had run away from her home...

was found dead on Beihai Road this morning.

The police concluded that Zhang committed suicide.

Her family identified the body.

A journalist interviewing Zhang's classmates...

heard that she had been bullied for a long time...

humiliated and slandered...

yet no one heard her complaints.

This tragedy has caused...

the Board of Education...

to report to the Anti-Bullying Committee...

and the institutions concerned.

An investigation is on the way at her school.

Yes, hello.

Hello, Miss Chin...

we are glad to inform you that...

your credit card was drawn at a lottery...

and you won a prize...

Listen to me...

first, you mispronounced my name...

second, if you think I'm a young woman...

you'll never be a good liar.

I'm a police officer...

and you...

Chen Qian.

Hi, Chief Ray.

Are you avoiding me?

No.

You don't seem sure.

Well...

You lost your voice?

I just ate fish...

a bone, stuck in my throat.

Ouch.

You eat fish in the morning?

Drink some milk...

to flush it out.

Yes...

clever advice.

Where's the report?

I'm finishing it.

You'll have it by the end of the day.

At noon...

I want this report at noon.

Chief Ray...

I'm busy this morning.

Yes, you're busy with this report.

I'll come over after the meeting...

I want to see you write it.

You write it.

No way Chen...

even at school, I couldn't write well.

So you see...

I really can't help.

Chen, someone here for you.

Officer Chen.

Uh?

I'm reporting...

my missing girlfriend...

she's disappeared...

Hey, wait.

I don't take missing person's reports.

Your colleagues say you're excellent.

You must help me.

No, no.

Officer.

I'm really not that good.

And I'm busy on a report.

Could you...

Sorry, I can't help you.

Officer.

What?

Let me go.

I'm begging you.

Hey.

Officer Chen.

...

What are you doing?

Officer Chen, this is a serious matter.

I looked for her all night.

At her father's grave too.

It's the 10th anniversary of his death.

This is a serious matter.

Come on Chen.

She was seeing a psychologist lately.

She already hurt herself before.

I fear the worst.

What...

if you allow me...

What's your girlfriend's name?

Her name is Ting Han.

Congratulations Ting.

We love you Ting.

Ting, we're your fans.

Congrats.

You're great.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, cut the cake.

Excuse me.

She doesn't seem pleased.

What's going on here?

I don't know.

What just happened?

It's over.

You liked it?

The surprise?

President Qian.

What surprise? I signed the bill for the cake and flowers.

Here's the resume of an applicant.

For the Planning Dept. again?

I see how hard you work?

You really need an assistant.

She's right here...

just see her.

Come on, move on.

This is a surprise.

We meet again in another world.

Yes...

this is a surprise.

After so many years.

Ten years.

How are you?

I'm very well.

How about you?

Well...

it's all written there, in your hands.

I don't see how you qualify.

There's nothing here about travel agency experience.

Why did you apply at all?

Ting.

Forgive me.

Forgive what?

About everything...

please forgive me.

Forgive me for everything.

I have nothing to forgive you.

After the event...

I actually found your address...

But you had moved.

Are you here to chat?

If you don't want to talk to me, I'll go...

and you'll never see me again.

Ting.

Could you proceed quickly with the applicant?

Ting's last call before her disappearance...

was 4 pm yesterday.

She called the 15710678260.

It's Tao Liu.

You know it?

Tao Liu and Ting...

both worked in my company.

Actually we were classmates in high school.

Tao Liu and Ting...

had a tight relationship.

They shared a desk.

So much happened...

this is a long story.

Why should I hire her?

This is my decision...

I can't let you make it for me.

Look...

the more I praise you, the more demands you have.

Ever since I joined the company...

you assigned me to the most tedious tasks.

And so, among all your colleagues...

you got the fastest promotion.

Your efforts are well rewarded.

Spare me the promotion...

and strictly within the scope of my tasks...

grant me the freedom I need.

Freedom you say?

The homeless are free like birds...

they can travel anywhere.

But in the workplace...

not even I have freedom.

Hi Mom.

So? The interview?

Thank your uncle.

His travel agency is successful.

How's the salary?

Mom, I'd rather not work here?

What did you say?

You see Tao Liu...

her uncle is the staff manager here...

he's the key to 2000 people who make this company successful.

You don't want to offend a man with such power.

I salute your sacred values.

Thank you.

Come.

Sit.

Sit down.

I begged your uncle to offer you a chance.

I got you that job.

You say you don't want it?

Are you out of your mind?

A jobless graduate...

I can't stand you loafing at home.

You remember Miss Yuan?

I do.

Another one of your proteges.

She left after two months.

Do you know why she quit?

You made her life hell...

by making her feel useless in a corner.

When she asked you about it...

you answered with cold and harsh words.

I hope you can cooperate this time...

otherwise you and me have a problem.

The paperwork is done?

Still missing you...

your signature.

Welcome to this new world.

Then you can call her.

Ask her about that last call.

"The number you dialed is not in service."

"Please verify your number."

Not in service?

Check when the line was canceled.

This is a cross-network query...

I can make a request...

but it's gonna take time.

Alright.

Tell them the subscriber is a suspect...

an order from the chief.

Alright.

I'll treat you to dinner in return.

Alright.

Wait.

It's here.

It's in the system.

The phone number was canceled...

yesterday at 5:28 pm.

5:28 pm.

Where does she live?

The Botanical Garden.

That's a posh area.

Lucky you.

She runs in the Garden on her free time.

Something's wrong...

let's go to the Garden.

Did you have breakfast?

Don't neglect your health.

Tao Liu.

Where?

She's taking a cab.

Do you know that guy running behind?

No, I don't.

There's a shortcut.

Xiaoxiao.

Miss Liu.

Please state your name, age...

occupation, family.

You see...

the reason we stopped your cab...

well, you may know why.

I'll let you talk.

Do you live near here?

I don't.

I was supposed to meet Ting at 8 am.

Where you saw me.

She said there was an important matter.

But I waited for an hour, she didn't show up.

She didn't answer her phone or WeChat.

She usually does.

She is always punctual.

Her company praised her for it.

I just called her office.

They told me she didn't take a leave.

Did she forget?

If Ting needed a day off...

she'd notify her boss at least a day ahead.

There's a form to fill.

Also her line would be forwarded to the office.

So Ting...

is an executive in the company?

Is she harsh?

Sure but, she offers a lot of guidance and help.

Eric Paroissien translation eric.paroissien@gmail.com

Tell me, did something bad happen to Ting?

Sorry, we ask the questions here...

we can't talk about an investigation.

Meeting.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, it's my lucky seat.

Sure.

Thanks.

You'll record the minutes of this meeting.

Coffee or tea.

Coffee.

The marketing dept. gave us a listing...

a Shopping Network.

We contracted their annual travel welfare.

And next...

we'll take care of their middle executives.

They're ordinary employees...

we'll customize different travel tours for them.

Mr. Tian.

We need tours for them and their families.

We also need a route for the low-level employees.

Yes Miss Ting.

The family tour...

will take 2 days, one night.

We chose the theme park of Huaqiang Fangte.

These are also the lines...

used for the Oriental Mythology theme park.

There is an aqua-park too there.

Now about the small holiday plan...

the overall performance of the sales department this quarter...

and the evaluation of the customer satisfaction...

are important indicators.

Any questions?

No.

There's sugar in this.

I remembered you used to have sugar.

I want an American...

no sugar, no milk.

You could have asked.

I don't need you to guess my needs.

Thanks.

What?

I'll bring you another cup.

No need.

Here, the minutes...

recorded for the meeting.

Are you recording or transcribing?

I needed the minutes...

not the whole record.

Sure, I'll do it again.

Let it be the last time.

Tomorrow...

I want to see those minutes.

A new hair style...

or just a cut.

I'm not sure if I can change myself...

but at least I can change my hairstyle.

You also changed your phone number.

Right.

The office closed at 5:30...

then you disconnected your phone number.

So, Ting didn't have your new phone number today.

But we had a sure appointment...

at an easy location.

Besides, we still have WeChat.

Did you change your phone number because of Ting?

No it's personal.

Do you know it's a special day?

It's Ting's father death anniversary?

10 years.

Do you have any idea...

where she could have gone?

Officer Chen.

I'm busy, I need to leave.

Miss Liu.

Please leave your new number.

I will contact you if we need you further.

Officer Chen, what is it?

Any clues?

Let's go to her apartment.

It's opened.

Do you know the tenant.

What happened?

Sorry, I can't tell you.

There is only one glass.

Obviously, she never invites anyone.

Liquid soap for body and hair...

she keeps it as simple as possible.

Her ID and passport are here.

She didn't go very far.

Can you stop a minute.

Wow, she loves flowers.

Look here.

Analyze this.

What do you see here?

This is the security video for yesterday.

Stop.

It's her.

We can assess...

that she left at 4:03pm.

When was her last call with Tao Liu.

Next...

we should go to their company.

To me it seems that...

Ting and Tao Liu have a complex relationship...

even difficult at times.

I felt that too.

Alright.

Chief.

The signal is weak.

Hello... hello.

Hello.

Shall we go?

Going to the company.

Officer Chen, let me go with you.

We're handling the case, we don't need you.

Officer Chen, you...

There's a thing you can do...

wait for your girlfriend...

report it if she comes back.

Wake up, wake up.

Did you sleep well?

And you locked the door.

Your colleagues couldn't get in.

I broke the lock, we feared the worst.

Sorry, I worked very late last night.

Yeah, don't apologize.

We'll report the incident.

You pay for the lock.

I'm so sorry.

I...

Come here.

We thought there was a ghost...

the key didn't even work.

What's wrong with you.

Why did you lock the door?

We are an open-door facility...

customers can visit any time during the day.

Imagine if I'd come with a customer...

the embarrassment.

Did you study the regulation of the employees?

I did.

Then you know...

what you did, you'll be fined.

Alright.

All these years, Ms. Ting...

never requested a leave of absence.

And today, the Tourism Bureau led an inspection...

she should precisely have been here.

She doesn't miss such occasions.

Are you sure she is missing.

Did Tao Liu take time off before?

Tao Liu.

Tao Liu hasn't come to work for a week.

However...

She was seen talking with Mr. Han before she left.

They had a disagreement.

Please explain...

what kind of disagreement.

It was not a fight...

they wouldn't quarrel.

Liu doesn't have a temper...

to argue with anyone.

"Dear Ting..."

"How are you?"

"The seasons of our relationship..."

"spring, summer, fall and winter..."

"we lost some ten years ago..."

"Now it seems our relationship froze in winter."

"Tao Liu."

"Ting Han."

I" tried to make sense of our relationship..."

"during the past ten years."

"You treated me well..."

"you encouraged me..."

"There have been hiccups..."

"a bit of damage too..."

"and finally, I let you down."

"I always let people down."

"I'm leaving."

"Is the only decent move I have left."

"Ting."

"Thank you for everything."

"I leave my best memories with you."

"And the difficulties that came with them."

"I am leaving."

"Wish you all the best."

"Tao Liu."

Ms. Ting keeps asking us...

to pay attention to details.

The fruits in the plates...

every plate must be the same.

What did you think of Ms. Ting and Tao Liu's relationship?

I think...

their relationship was a bit complicated.

It's from their past...

their past tensions.

What past tensions?

You need to know their history.

Ms. Liu.

30 copies per item...

and fast.

Right.

A copy?

Right.

There's an easier way.

How many copies?

30 copies.

Press 30 to start.

Right.

Yuanyuan...

it came out without contrast.

The cartridge...

change it below.

Try again.

Your repeated mistakes...

affect the work of the entire office.

Tao Liu is my assistant...

and an assistant for all the office.

Organizing documents, making copies...

paper and cartridges...

these are the simplest possible tasks...

requiring basic computer skills.

A Tourism Office...

its management...

planning and dispatching...

I wouldn't even risk to have you try.

I read your resume...

you were hostess at a front desk...

but you don't even show these basic skills.

The company is not a school...

don't expect someone to teach you at each step.

To me it seems...

that Ms. Ting is very strict with you.

You are wrong.

She is hard on us for our own good.

She often offers her help.

Our success rests mainly on her shoulders.

If you take the last cup, change the bottle.

She doesn't need your help.

Everyone has to learn it.

Actually, I never changed it.

Ms. Ting never asked me.

Well, you could do it anyway.

I tried...

but the bottle is too heavy.

It seems not everyone is treated equally.

Something was odd...

I don't know if I should say it.

Just spit it out.

It was like a girlfriends' love and hate relationship.

No. 25 Ting Han.

No. 25 Ting Han.

Hello there.

That's lovely.

That's a quick draft.

I mean your nail.

It's an ugly duckling hiding in its wings.

Beautiful.

Your hairdo is stylish.

This?

I have five sets for the week...

I change every day.

I never forget.

Then I'll paint a nail every day...

and when all my nails are done...

the weekend has come.

Clever.

My name is Ting Han.

My name is Tao Liu.

We're a desk team.
