Once Given Never Forgotten Ep05

Demand and supply.

You do know how to do business.

Let me tell you.

She'll be a successful businesswoman.

No wonder you're good at math.

Experience is the best teacher.

I enjoy doing this,

and I don't have to ask others for money.

I live on my hump, what's wrong with that?

Listen, Lianxin.

You're still a child.

You should not worry about these things.

Correct.

For example...

I can't make things up anymore.

My bad.

That's enough.

She just resold some snacks and posters.

When I was young, I did way worse than that.

Correct.

I asked you to give her a lesson,

not to show off your past.

I did nothing wrong, no need for your lesson.

Stand up.

This is serious, stand up.

Do you hear me?

Lianxin, we have to make things clear today.

Cut the crap.

I want you to know that

your job is to study right now.

After graduating from university,

you'll have plenty of time to do business.

I just sold some stuff to make money.

How did this affect my study?

People have limited energy.

Do you understand?

If you put the same amount of effort into your study,

will you still get low marks?

This isn't a big deal.

You're exaggerating.

If you felt embarrassed

at today's parent-teacher meeting,

you don't have to attend them anymore.

I don't need your supervision.

Where are you going?

Yuqiu,

I'm hungry.

♫ Loving, I, N, G♫

♫ Happy, I, N, G♫

♫ My heart is taking at♫

It's "Taking on".

You're singing off-key.

Do you like this present?

It's alright.

Don't be mad at me anymore.

Because you took me to this live concert,

I forgive you begrudgingly.

That was nothing.

What do you want to watch next time? I'll buy you tickets.

Next time,

I want to watch your concert.

Sure.

I'll keep the best seat for you.

How's that?

Fine, I'll be waiting.

You'll be late for home.

Does Xiang Yuqiu...

Don't bring him up!

Hello? Anyone home?

Hello, can I help you?

This is Lianxin's home, right?

Yes, how can I help?

Fine.

I, I need to see Lianxin!

You.

Lianxin, come out!

Sorry, she's not at home.

What do you want from her?

Who are you?

I'm her relative.

See?

Lianxin forged this signature

and cheated my daughter out of 500 yuan.

How do you explain it?

What do you mean?

Does Lianxin often bully her classmates at school?

My daughter was so angry,

she even cried at home alone.

She didn't tell us the truth

until we found out what has happened to her.

How can we live with this?

Where's Lianxin? Ask her to come out.

Sir. Ma'am.

She's just a kid.

Calm down.

Let me apologise for her.

I'm sorry.

This is your stuff.

Take them back to the Luo family.

No need to come here at the weekend either.

I can't handle you,

and I'm in no position to lecture you.

I didn't know that signature was fake.

I took it from somebody else.

I've told you that

what you're doing

affects you more than your study.

It's true that you've made some money.

I said no but you did it anyway.

Now you've cause trouble but you can't take the responsibility.

It's me who will have to take the fall.

Do you remember those small shops

where bought things on credit?

They all have business licenses.

The license means responsibility.

We have to be responsible for every single thing we do.

I've made my promise to Luo Ting

to take good care of you.

I'm responsible for this promise.

But now I can't control your behavior,

and I can't keep the promise.

Sorry.

What did you say? I can't hear you.

I'm sorry.

It's not shameful to apologise.

You also have to know what you did wrong.

Do you understand?

Apologise to your classmate at school tomorrow.

Do I have to do this?

Yes.

This is the only responsibility you can take now.

Ok.

Don't ever do this again.

Can I stay here now?

Sure.

Alright.

Go to bed.

Xiang Yuqiu.

"Tonald Duck" is here again.

Naughty girl, watch your words.

Lianxin, show some respect.

What's wrong? Are you here to see me?

I heard you went to Shangri-La a while ago.

Chen Qi lied to me.

He said you've moved house, and I...

What happened?

Nothing, it doesn't matter.

I come here to ask

if you want to work for my company.

No, he doesn't.

Shush!

You know what happened to my company?

I noticed that your advertisement was withdrawn yesterday.

So I knew something must have happened.

There happen to be a place in my company.

What are you talking about?

He's already found a new job.

A furniture designer, exactly his major.

Thank you for your concern.

Go get your sunbathe.

What are you two exactly?

We're family. What's wrong?

You two aren't related.

A grown man

lives with a girl every day.

Aren't you afraid of gossips?

What kind of gossip?

Why should I be afraid of that?

I'm just looking after her.

Who are you talking about?

You have to tell the truth.

I'm the one looking after you.

Dismiss?

Yes.

Nowadays,

the market doesn't look good.

We have not been able to

get the money back

for several projects.

Now.

The company is almost bankrupt.

I didn't expect this to happen.

That's it, I should set you free.

Mr. Chen, is there anything I can help with?

There are so many people in this company.

If we work together,

there will always be hope.

Thank you for your kindness.

I've been running this company for years,

but business was never great.

I couldn't figure out why.

But it's alright. We'll both start over this time.

We take this chance to learn some more.

Maybe,

we can both do better than this one day.

Alright.

Well then,

thank you.

Although I've only worked here for some days,

I'm very grateful for your help.

I hope you'll start a new company soon.

Here.

This is my friend's business card.

His company is doing well.

You can give it a shot.

Mr. Chen, thank you so much.

But I also want to use this opportunity

to see some more,

to do the things I want.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

I'll keep this for him.

Don't chip in when adults are talking.

Get out.

Get out.

There's a readily available job. Why don't you take it?

I still want to do the things I love.

It's making furniture.

Then you won't be able to support me.

Don't you want to find a job as well?

We can work on this together now.

Sure, Let's do this.

Let's do this.

Young lady,

you have no qualifications and haven't finished high school.

What can you do?

We can't hire child labour.

I can be a waitress, a dishwasher, anything.

I see.

You want to find a part-time job to pay tuition fees, right?

But let's think about it.

You can only work at weekends.

Then why can't I find a full-time employee?

Here's the thing.

I'm not a philanthropist.

Teenagers like you

find different ways to piss your parents off.

Students should focus on their studies.

You're home.

No need to hide it, I've seen it.

Have you found a job?

What about you?

Of course, in a furniture factory.

Don't waste your time if you are only here to mock me.

I've had it enough today.

Even if you found a job,

I won't let you go to work.

Why?

I'm doing this

to teach you a simple lesson.

Although as a student,

you started a small business and made some money,

you're quite proud of yourself.

What if this business affects your study?

What should you do?

You'll have a poor grade and dimmed job prospects.

Am I right?

what‘s that old saying?

A man who has no ambition,

who focuses on nothing, learns nothing.

You're doing this again.

Never stop talking.

Do you really see yourself as my uncle?

Your parents must have said similar things when you were a child.

I wish

someone would have taught me like this

when I was a kid.

Don't worry.

If you made a mistake in the future, I'll give you the lesson.

Thanks, Aunt Lianxin.

You're such a good boy.

Good boy.

Show some respect.

Xiang Yuqiu.

You're here.

This is your birthday present.

This?

Is this the thing you've been working on at home?

That's right.

So I kept it a secret from you,

and give you this as a surprise today.

You've lived in this orphanage.

Every child who rides on this rocking horse

will think of you.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Let's go, people are waiting for you at home.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Are you done? Be quick.

Smile, big smile.

It's so dumb.

Ok.

Oh my god.

Listen, Lianxin.

This cake is made by Yuqiu,

just for you.

You're exaggerating.

It only took me 5 days.

This is from Mum and Dad.

Thank you.

This is the piano score I have had for 10 years.

Here you are.

Are you sure?

Birthday cakes can't stay with you forever.

But piano scores can.

My precious gift

will surely be in my best friend's hands.

Thank you.

My heart and belly will be both full.

All of your gifts are so precious.

There's something more.

Here.

The kallaite stone.

I bought it for you when I was in Shangri-La.

In their culture,

this represents safety and luck.

I wish you

a safe and lucky life.

Thank you.

This is so pretty.

Lianxin.

Happy birthday, here you are.

Thanks, Tonald Duck.

You little monkey.

Lianxin.

Show some respect to my guest.

Come.

Sit.

Are you Chen Qi's girlfriend?

How did he do this?

What do you think?

A man like him, has no advantages.

He is just good at saying sweet things.

What kind of liars he said

fooled you successfully.

Do you think I'm blind?

I'm not a good judge of character?

Right, Xiang Yuqiu?

Let's blow out the candles.

Sing the song first.

Sure.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Six, five, four, three, two, one, Cheers!

Mum and Dad will be back tomorrow.

Remember to watch my competition with them.

I will.

Isn't there a curfew at your dorm? Just go.

Wait a second.

This is for you.

Do you like it?

I hope you can wear this.

This will make you shine on the stage.

Thank you.

You go first.

You first.

Just go.

Go back to your dorm.

You first, I need to see you inside.

Bye-bye.

World Youth Piano Competition

Luo Rui.

Luo Rui, I like you.

Luo Rui is not in his room.

She's confessing her love for you, so brave.

You must be her true love.

Go.

Just go.

Luo Rui is there.

Luo Rui.

Lianxin, I don't know her.

How can you not recognise me?

I'm Nana, from the Chinese folk music class.

You replied to my letter.

Nonsense.

When did I reply to your letter?

Beauty, look at the nice handwriting,

it has to be me.

I play Erhu, let's be friends.

Sorry, I like someone else.

Luo Rui, how can you say this to her?

Let's go.

Luo Rui, don't leave.

What's wrong with you?

That girl over there looks nice.

She is better than those

who don't dare to send you love letters.

She is braver.

She is brave, so I have to like her?

You're brave too.

Is there anything you don't dare to do?

Don't make this about me.

Have you decided which university you'll apply?

My teachers say my grades are inconsistent,

so I probably didn't do well in the College Entrance Exam.

Then we should go abroad together.

Go abroad?

There are many great art institutes overseas.

I'll ask Mom and Dad to help you,

and you can major in dance.

Then we can rent a flat

and start a life together.

We wouldn't feel alone.

But...

I don't wanna trouble Uncle and Aunt anymore.

It's no trouble at all.

They are also your parents.

Planning for your future

is their responsibility.

After we go abroad,

I'll study to become a great pianist

and you will become an excellent dancer,

just like my sister.

Do you want me to be like Luo Ting,

or just be my true self?

Of course your true self.

Really?

If so, then...

What?

Piggyback me home!

Alright.

Get up.

You won't drop me, will you?

Nah.

Let's go home!

Hi, where are you?

I'll drive your car back.

I'm at yours. Take it back here.

Get some food too. I haven't eaten yet.

I'm not your nanny, okay?

There's a supermarket next door. Go buy your own food.

So petty!

See you.

Slowly.

Get in the car.

No, no, no.

This is your ride.

Why are you here?

Why didn't you pick up my call?

Who are you?

I'm a friend of hers.

She called me to pick her up.

Thank you for taking care of her. Bye.

A friend of hers.

Cheers.

Bottoms up.

What?

Fine, I'll drink by myself then.

It's just to sign a contract. How did you get this drunk?

Your glass. Wow.

It looks so big. Massive.

Let me have a sip. One sip.

Big Head.

Big Head.

Big Head. Answer me!

Hurry.

Why did you bring her home?

She's completely wasted.

Take her to the room.

What's going on?

Carry her.

Careful. Careful.

Xiang Yuqiu.

What happened?

What did you do to my Tang Shi?

I saw her on my way back.

Some guys almost took her home.

I helped her 'cause I know you like her.

She's yours now.

What do you mean by that?

Did you just meet me today?

I'm a decent guy, a gentleman.

Would I ever take advantage of a drunk lady?

Would I do such a thing?

You brought her home without asking me.

Did you ask for my permission?

So, you don't permit this?

I'll take her away then.

Wait. You know me the best.

Wait a sec.

Be careful,

don't let her vomit get on Lianxin's sheets.

Lianxin is gonna get furious if it happens.

Don't worry. I'll catch the vomit.

My precious Shi. Your man is coming.

What a hypocrite!

Are you feeling sick?

It's alright. Water will help.

Have some water.

Just a sip.

Alright, I get it.

You're feeling bad.

Be a good girl.

Come. Good girl.

Have some water.

Look. This is water.

Have some water.

It's warm.

Drink some water.

Just a sip.

Good girl.

Such a good girl.

That's great.

Isn't it?

Swallow it down, sweetheart.

Swallow it down.

It's alright. Drink more water.

Uncle, Auntie. You're back.

We came back yesterday.

Lianxin, we got you a birthday gift.

It's in your room upstairs, go check it.

That's great!

Thank you, Uncle. I'll go upstairs now.

Rui, come here.

What's up, Mom?

Take a seat.

We want to send her to Spain.

What? Spain?

Keep your voice down.

You've already made this decision.

She's gonna find out sooner or later.

Luo Rui,

calm down.

Why can't Lianxin go abroad with me?

Why does she have to go to Spain alone?

She'll have no one there. How could you?

There's a dance institute in Spain

that Ting always wanted to go.

Now Lianxin can go there.

Becoming a dancer is my sister's dream.

Not Lianxin's.

Have you asked her what she wants?

Do you even care?

We'll ask her.

No matter where she wants to go,

we'll help her get there.

But then, we'll take you and emigrate to the West.

I don't get it.

If our family is gonna emigrate,

why would we leave her behind?

Let me ask you, do you have feelings for her?

I...

Do you?

Yes, I do have feelings for her.

Does she know about it?

It's good that she doesn't know.

What are you guys saying?

Luo Rui,

we're doing this for your own sake.

It's better if we separate you two now

before it gets too late.

Otherwise,

you would definitely regret it one day.

Have you talked with her about it?

What if she doesn't like the plan?

Lianxin is an understanding girl.

She'll get it.

Plus, it would be good for her too.

Good morning.

You're awake.

Are you hungry?

Take a seat, please.

I've prepared both western food and Chinese food.

Choose whatever you like.

You cooked this?

I blacked out yesterday.

Who took me here?

You're looking at him right now.

No way.

Where's Xiang Yuqiu?

He went out.

You threw up on my pants yesterday.

I had to put them on the lamp,

in order to dry them.

But why do I feel like it wasn't you yesterday?

I... I...

I can't remember it.

Okay. Okay.

Fine.

Here's what happened.

I drove you here yesterday,

and you mistook me for another guy

on our way back.

You also did something to me.

What did I do?

It doesn't matter. Not important.

Given how drunk you were,

it's impressive that you knew your own name.

Don't overthink it.

What I'm trying to say is,

if this kind of thing happens again,

what should you do without me,

your guardian angel?

Don't worry. It won't happen again.

I can handle my alcohol.

It's just that client is crucial to us.

Or I wouldn't have drunk that much.

It won't happen again.

Let's eat.

Here.

Try this first, western food.

That's Chinese.

Xiang also made this?

This one?

It's a unique craftsmanship passed on to him from his ancestors.

They used to serve only the royalty.

Wow, he's from a designer family then.

No kidding. I'm so proud.

They are not your ancestors.

Why are you so proud?

You can talk trash about me,

but not my ancestors.

Alright.

Where does he work now?

A furniture factory.

A furniture factory?

He makes such amazing furniture

and he works at a factory?

Such a waste of his talent!

You've got a better idea?

My firm is organizing

a furniture exhibition now.

I think,

I can get an exhibition booth for him,

and display all his furniture there.

Maybe someone will like his work and buy it.

Sounds nice.

But, you should ask him first.

Why?

That would ruin the surprise.

Because Xiang Yuqiu hates it

when others touch his work without his permission.

But I think it'll be good for him.

I might be able to get him a major client.

Then why would he hate it?

I would be helping him make money.

I also wanna make money.

Lianxin,

come and sit.

I have a question for you.

Do you wanna go study abroad?

Your uncle has a friend

at an art institute in Barcelona.

He can get you in the dance major there.

Barcelona?

I'll go by myself?

We don't want you to go by yourself,

but it's such a great institute.

We wanted to send Ting there.

I understand it.

If...

If this is what you want.

Then,

I'll go there.

Don't you worry.

I'll transfer your tuition fees on time.

No need for that.

Auntie,

I can't live off you guys forever.

After I go to Spain,

I want to...

I want to support myself.

But...

Auntie, if you can't agree with me on it,

then I won't go there.

I agree, I agree.

But promise us that

you'll be our daughter forever.

If anything happens,

you let us know right away.

Alright?

Auntie,

I have plans with a friend.

I gotta go now.

There's one more thing.

I'm sending Luo Rui abroad too.

But don't worry,

we'll go visit you.

I know.

Thank you, Auntie.

Thank you.

Luo Ting, 1980-2001

Ting.

I've been taking care of Lianxin as I promised you.

And I'll keep doing so until she doesn't need me.

Luo Ting, 1980-2001

Luo Ting, 1980-2001

Hello.

Such a pity Xiang isn't here now.

He would have never thought

his furniture would be displayed.

You made it happen.

We've finished all the agenda in Shanghai

except for the wine party tonight.

I booked your flight for next Monday.

Tell David to set up a meeting once I get back.

Got it.

Hello.

Do you like this desk?

Xiang Yuqiu.

Designed by Xiang Yuqiu

I've never heard of him.

He's a friend of mine.

A young designer.

Very talented.

We'll take this desk.

You'll buy it?

Yes.

I'll send someone here to get the desk.

We only stay in China for two more days.

Ask your friend to get in touch with us soon.

Tell him my boss is very interested in him.

Alright.

Your boss has great taste!

Miss Tang, you live up to your reputation.

Of course.

I never miss when I swing.

Sure.

I sold it.

Yes!

You sold it?

Big Head,

who said you could sell it?

Tang Shi said it would help you get clients.

We meant well.

Right?

Yeah, Xiang Yuqiu.

Your furniture pieces are so exquisite.

Why would you hide them here?

I sold the desk,

so that more people can see your work.

Right. Right.

But... You guys.

That desk means something special to me.

Luo Ting, right?

But it's all in the past.

Xiang Yuqiu,

I don't know what happened between you and her.

But I think if she were still alive,

she wouldn't want you to dwell on the past like this.

Don't you agree?

This is the buyer's number.

You can either buy it back,

or use this money to find a new job.

It's your choice.

You decide.

Hello.

Did you buy my desk?

Yeah, I remember you.

So, my boss really likes your work.

She admires your talent.

We'd like to know,

if you'll be interested to work with us in Barcelona.

Barcelona.

Xiang Yuqiu.

You can't go there.

Don't go!

Thank you for your generous offer.

But I can't go to Barcelona.

I'm calling to ask you about the desk.

You've shipped it to Spain?

Alright, I got it.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Xiang Yuqiu,

are you out of your mind?

It's such a good opportunity.

Why wouldn't you go to Spain?

Chen Qi.

I can't leave now.

Why is that?

Because of Luo Ting?

Is it Lianxin?

I'm telling you,

Lianxin might come here tonight.

She and Tang Shi don't like each other.

If they start a fight,

we will both be implicated.

You hear me?

Let's go.

What? Why?

Let's go.

Why?

Let's go.

But I haven't finished yet.

He's upset. Give him some space.

Let's go.

That's why you should...

Let's go!

We're leaving.

We're leaving now.

Think it through, Xiang Yuqiu.

Hello, Mrs. Luo.

Is Lianxin home?

Your uncle has a friend

at an art institute in Barcelona.

He can get you in the dance major there.

Barcelona?

I'll go by myself?

We don't want you to go by yourself,

but it's such a great institute.

Actually,

we wanted to send Ting there.

Hello, Mrs. Luo. Is Lianxin home?

She isn't picking up her phone.

She's not here. She said she was going to yours.
