- Errand. - Demolition.

Responsibility for everyone - Demolition! - Errand.

Errand.

I can do anything!

We have to do something.

It's been several days

and we still haven't found a job.

The local thugs here sure are vicious.

Let's try another spot.

They will shoo us away sooner or later

if we continue to stay here.

Look at them.

But where can we go?

This is the spot with the most job vacancies.

Other spots are worse.

The way I see it,

we'll be starved to death

before we can find a job.

We'll either be starved or trampled to death.

Gentlemen!

My friend and I are stranded here.

We are at our wit's end,

so we came here to find a job.

Please

show some mercy.

We haven't eaten for several days.

We just want a meal.

If not,

we'll be starved to death.

50 yuan for a day.

Anyone?

We'll do it!

Don't go. Let them take it.

Gas, Heater, Waterproofing, Drilling, Dismantling, Demolition

We'll do it.

Just you two?

No problem. Come in.

50 yuan for a day.

Thanks, gentlemen!

Shunqi BBQ Thank you.

50 yuan! 50 yuan! 50 yuan for one day!

Episode 25

Out with A Bang!

Our Times

This place is not bad.

It's a school.

Put this on. Time to work.

What you have to do is

to carry several bodies

to the morgue in the faculty.

It's for clinical trials.

Living or dead bodies?

If they are alive, why do I need you?

So do you think it's living or dead bodies?

What did he say?

Brother Xiao, let's head back.

Head back?

You'll give up on 50 yuan?

That's enough for our rent already.

Our job

is to carry dead bodies.

Foshan Medical University Research Faculty

So are you two taking this job or not?

Let's quit.

I'll take it.

I'll take it.

It's just carrying an object.

They are here. Bring them in.

When you're done,

come to me to get paid and get a free lunch.

You'll pay us in cash?

If you finish the job quickly, you'll get everything early.

Pardon me.

Give me a hand.

Careful.

Thanks for the hard work, Mister.

Thank you.

No problem.

It's our job.

That mister over there looks

quite sick.

Is he okay?

He will be. I'll check on him.

Thanks for the work. Thank you.

Here.

Take your money.

Another batch will arrive in two days.

Are you two up for it?

People's Bank of China

Sure. Definitely.

There, there.

The food is here.

It's not that I don't want to do it.

I really don't have what it takes.

It's okay.

I'll do it.

You just have to follow Huang You Wei.

Why did you stop?

There's a cute girl

staring at me.

I'm embarrassed.

She is...

Brother Xiao, I'll buy a pineapple bun.

I'll leave you two alone.

Let's talk inside.

Come in.

Mrs. Wang! There's no water again.

By the way,

why didn't you tell me you're coming?

I don't have anything here.

What exactly is going on?

You used five months to make me fall in love

but one sentence to break up.

And then, you disappeared.

I didn't know if you were dead or alive.

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

I know Huayan fired you.

What else do you know?

I want you to tell me.

That day when you told me

your parents finally acknowledged me,

I was fired by Huayan.

I had nothing left.

I can't possibly ask you to wait for me again,

so I left.

I can't tell you the reason either

because that will just exacerbate our pain.

And?

What do you mean?

Why did you come here?

I'm here to do business.

You've changed.

I was scammed.

Almost got beaten to death.

I came here to get my due and...

to lay low.

What else are you hiding from me?

I'm actually an orphan.

My mom died from blood loss when she was giving birth to me.

My dad tossed me to my grandma's house

and never showed up again.

And my grandma

also died when I was...

twelve.

And then,

I begged my way to adulthood.

Xie Hang,

you're the first person to give me the warmth of home.

I don't want to do you wrong.

I don't want you to suffer.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't! Don't!

Don't touch me.

I... I went to carry corpses today.

I...

I carried corpses.

I'm dirty now.

Don't touch me.

Wishing you a prosperous life I quite like it.

Yes, the image is quite clear.

Movie theater

Non-stop blockbusters

Laserdisc

Private movie cabin

Madam, what's the price?

10 yuan for one film. 20 yuan for a night of screening.

What?

20 yuan?

You might as well rob the bank.

Kun Opera: The Peony Pavilion Too expensive?

Don't you know these are all

laserdiscs?

Several hundred yuan for one disc.

Don't watch it if it's too expensive.

Fine, 20 yuan it is.

Give me Fight Back to School.

Fight Back to School? Okay.

I will never forget today.

Me too.

Sorry for putting you through this.

Wherever I am, whatever happens,

as long as I'm with you,

things will never feel too rough.

Promise me

that you'll never hide anything from me again.

Unless you don't like me anymore.

Or else, don't break up with me.

I promise

to remain forever honest to you.

Guangzhou

Foshan Shunfa Bus Schedule What happened to your neck?

It's just a stiff neck.

The pillow was a bit tough.

I'll find some ointment for you then.

Use them when you're on the bus.

I'm fine. It'll be gone in two days.

What's in the letter?

The photo we took in Beijing.

I developed two copies.

Now that I can see the comparison,

short hair makes you look more spirited.

When we have another opportunity,

we'll take more photos.

If you don't take this bus now,

you won't arrive in Guangzhou today

and you won't be back in Beijing the next day.

I know you want to solve everything

on your own.

I can go back,

- but... - Don't worry.

I'll be safe.

I will call you every day.

Remember those clothes you bought me?

I never wore them,

so I returned them.

Also, that 20,000 yuan training fee?

I put it in your drawer.

Don't shoulder everything yourself.

We'll get through it together.

The bus is leaving! Anyone else?

Xie Hang, I can't take that money.

I don't care. I have to get on the bus now.

My grandma gave me this.

It's the most precious thing I have.

From now on,

wear it every day.

That way,

it's as if I'm always by your side.

Go.

Foshan, Guangzhou

Foshan, Zhongshan

Stay civilized Let the passengers descend first

Are you taking this bus? We're leaving.

Come on.

All right. We can depart now.

What are you sneaking about?

Your girlfriend left?

Yes.

She's beautiful.

How did you get her?

I asked you to trail Huang You Wei.

Any result?

I waited until late night

until my legs went numb,

but he's still nowhere to be seen.

Give me a break.

Where did you spend the night?

Don't want to talk about it.

I went to the VHS room.

It was crowded and cramped.

I laid on the bench like a shrimp

and slept for less than two hours.

You dummy!

Why didn't you ask for a cabin?

They charged 20 yuan for the main hall.

I dared not to ask the price for a cabin.

20?

What kind of luxurious VHS room is that?

The owner said it's all laserdiscs

imported from Hong Kong, China.

Wait.

What?

- Laserdiscs. - No.

I mean what brand?

Who would look at the brand?

Get up. Show me the place.

I just want to lay down a bit.

Go now!

I...

VHS Madam.

May your business prosper.

Kun Opera: The Peony Pavilion

You're from the north?

Observant!

Screening Today I'm on a business trip from Beijing.

I heard

there's a VHS room here that charges 20 yuan per entry.

I have to see it

for myself.

Cliffhanger

Of course.

There are only three VHS rooms like this in Foshan.

Mine is the biggest one.

Equipment like this must have cost

a fortune!

Not bad.

An ordinary VHS room

only has one television

and one player.

The cost is several thousand yuan.

It's different here.

Laserdisc player, projector,

power amp, speakers...

The entire set costs more than 10,000 yuan.

Others just can't compete.

What's the brand

of your VHS?

Who's the seller?

Xiale.

Why do you ask?

Madam.

I'm a businessman, you see.

I smell a business opportunity here.

Can you introduce me to the seller?

You found the wrong person.

The seller is a local,

but he's not here at the moment.

I'll hazard a guess.

Is the seller

Huang You Wei?

No.

Then is he Qian Dong Lai?

No.

I think he's Lin something.

Stop poking around.

Shoo!

Is it this man?

Yes, it's him.

Madam.

Please have a look again.

Is it this man?

And do you have

other news of him?

You sure are unrelenting.

He comes back every year to pay respect to his ancestors.

Not sure about this year.

Thank you.

Gaming Room Good movies galore!

Brother Xiao.

Foshan is indeed the right place.

What should we do now?

Wait.

We have a lead now.

We just have to wait.

But the 50 yuan we made is gone now.

What should we do tonight?

We starve.

It's not our first time anyway.

Let's go.

Lydia.

Mind your hands

Jefferson China Co. LTD

You took leave earlier. Nothing serious, I hope.

Minicomputers imported from the U.S.

Actually, I went to Guangzhou again.

We made up.

It seems like I don't need to ask

to know the question.

I'm happy for you. Congratulations.

Thank you.

However, he's still struggling at the moment.

I'm quite worried about him.

Abby,

in my eyes,

you already did a stellar job.

Come in.

Director Tan, you're looking for me?

Close the door.

Earlier on,

I asked you to apply for a Hong Kong, China visa.

Is it done?

Yes.

I applied as soon as you asked me to.

Good.

Well...

I'm too busy at the moment.

Go to Hong Kong, China for me.

I want to open a trading company there

to facilitate the importation of spare parts for Huayan.

The information is all in the documents.

Go through them.

Okay.

I'm going alone?

Yes.

Alone.

And you need to keep it a secret.

I'll ask Man Huan Sheng

to buy you a plane ticket to Guangzhou.

You'll go to Shenzhen from Guangzhou

then cross the border to Hong Kong, China.

I have talked to the people there.

Someone will take you in.

Why keep it under wraps?

I'll be frank with you.

Lin

might have agreed to develop our own brand,

but

I don't know if he's

sincere about it.

Therefore,

to ensure everything goes smoothly,

we have to have absolute control

over this trading company.

Director.

I don't understand.

Is this trading company that important?

Yes.

Even though it's supposed to be independent research,

since we just started out,

we have to import some spare parts.

This trading company

will either make or break our project.

Can you see its importance now?

Okay. Understood.

I'll get it done.

Oh, right.

How's Xiao Chuang?

Have you told him that he can come back?

I...

don't know how to break the news to you.

He refused to come back.

It's okay.

We all have our calling.

No need to force him.

Xiao Chuang

is a proud and ambitious person.

I'll leave him be.

Try not to let it

get to you.

But

I'm still worried about him.

Since I'm supposed to go to Guangzhou anyway.

Can I leave one or two days earlier

so that I can pay him a visit?

Sure.

Just plan accordingly.

Hello.

Brother Lu,

is Xiao Chuang there?

What happened to his phone?

I can't contact him for a while.

Xiao Chuang?

He's not here.

He's on a business trip.

You can talk to him when he comes back.

Okay.

When he comes back,

tell him

I'm coming to Guangzhou tomorrow.

Why are you coming to Guangzhou?

I'm on a business trip too.

Thought I could visit you guys.

There's nothing to see here.

I'm serious.

Your work is more important.

No need to come. I'll hang up now.

Wait.

Divorce then.

Just accept it.

You'll find someone better.

Who got the custody?

The mother.

But I'm afraid that she would neglect him,

so I want to appeal

to get back the custody.

If you want to get back the child custody,

then you need to have a career.

I've been looking after and promoting you.

You have to seize the opportunity.

Don't worry, sir.

I've decided to move back to the dorm.

I will get rid of all distractions

and won't let you down.

I have faith in you.

Go work now.

Ask Pei Qing Hua to come see me too.

Pei's already gone for a business trip.

When? To where?

Left this morning.

Director Tan sent him to Guangzhou.

Guangzhou?

Come in.

Certificate of Honor

Tan.

Can you lend me your eyeglasses cloth?

I can't find mine.

What happened to your glasses?

I accidentally

spilled some tea on it just now.

By the way,

I couldn't find Pei Qing Hua this morning.

Do you know where he went?

My bad.

I forgot to tell you.

I assigned him a task.

He's on a business trip now.

Why are you looking for him?

I can send someone else to help you.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

You have your plan.

Oh, Tan.

About our own brand...

I've thought about it.

We should

do it.

Of course.

Both the administrator and the president agreed.

It's too late to quit now.

You're right.

We have to do it.

However,

since we're importing so many spare parts,

should we establish

a trading company?

Lin.

We sure have worked together for a long time.

We have the same idea!

It's a great idea.

You know what?

Let's find a day

to talk to the president.

We can discuss it in great detail.

Sure.

Sure.

After all, it's an important matter.

We have to

plan this properly.

Hello.

Yi Fu, it's me.

Do you have a trading company in Hong Kong, China?

Yes, I do.

Haven't I told you?

I asked if you wanted it, you said no.

That was back then.

Things have changed.

What happened?

Tan sent someone on a task

behind my back.

I bet it has

something to do with a trading company.

He wants to do something with it.

Since he's plotting something

behind my back,

then I'll return him the favor.

Mixed One Suit. All in Triplets.

You won another big one.

He's just a vice general manager.

Why does he always go against you?

Don't worry about it.

The company is ready.

You can use it whenever.

That's what I want to hear.

See you.

Hello.

Hello, Tan Yuan.

You called me?

I thought you wouldn't

call me today.

Hello, this is Jessie Wang.

Sorry, Aunt Wang.

It's for me.

Oh, go ahead.

Aunt Wang is very nice.

Where were we?

I'm in Guangzhou now.

I finally found

a phone booth with international service.

Guess

where I am.

Where are you?

Newspapers and Magazines

The spot where I bought you the cassette tape.

Did you try looking for the owner?

I did, but he's not here.

If he is here,

I'll make him call you

and apologize.

I'm just kidding. Don't do stupid things.

By the way,

why are you in Guangzhou now?

I'm on a business trip.

I thought I could visit Xiao Chuang,

but I feel like

he's avoiding me.

I'm still worried,

so I plan to look for him in person.

Say hi to him for me, okay?

It's tough to live alone

in Guangzhou.

Will do.

Did I call you too late?

Go sleep.

I'll call you earlier next time.

I'm fine.

I'm not sleepy at all.

Come on.

I can hear

your yawn across the phone.

Don't you have classes tomorrow?

You should sleep.

Don't worry.

I'll call you earlier next week.

I'll make up for the time we lost this week.

All right?

For real?

Promised then.

Promised.

I'll give you my word.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Electrical Appliances Have a safe trip.

Feel free to drop by if you need help.

Qing Hua?

Second-hand IT Spare Parts Hainiu Technology Limited Company

Brother Lu.

Brother Lu.

Brother Lu.

I know you're here.

If you don't come out now,

this stone will be destroyed.

Three.

Two.

Who taught you to threaten people?

This stone didn't do anything wrong.

How are you, Brother Lu?

How's business?

It's okay. Good enough to get by.

Where's Xiao Chuang?

Where did he go?

Xiao Chuang?

He's on a business trip.

He'll be back in two weeks.

Really?

Tell me the truth.

I'm not lying.

So why did you come

to Guangzhou?

You. You. You...

I'm sorry, Brother Lu.

I wasn't joking.

I know you're lying.

What are you doing?

Pardon me.

No! I'll tell you.

I'll give Xiao Chuang's number to you,

all right?

Give it back.

15 is too low.

Your wallpaper

is moist and mushy.

30 yuan at least.

30.

30?

Are you trying to rob here?

People will be lining up

just to earn this 15 yuan.

Come on, Madam. 30 and we'll get the job done.

No extra charges.

No thanks.

Let's go.

Try...

Let's go.

This is a negotiation technique.

She'll ask us to come back. Be patient.

- Hello? - Soon.

Public phone booth

Come back!

Impressive.

30 it is!

Your phone.

What? My phone?

Who's there?

It's me, Pei Qing Hua.

Junior!

How did you get my number?

I'm in Brother Lu's shop.

Cashier He gave me your number.

Where are you, Xiao Chuang?

Judging from the postal code,

you must be in Foshan.

Give me your address.

I'll come over right now.

Don't!

I'm busy.

I don't have time to look after you.

You're hiding something from me.

Do you think it's funny?

Fine.

Come then.

I'll pick you up at the bus station.

Okay.

What about 20?

Of course not.

20 yuan. We'll do it now.

- No. Too expensive. - Please, Madam.

Most will just ask for 15 yuan.

- 20, please. - No.

15!

Woods and Tools

We'll do it for 15 yuan.

But

can we move the furniture

to our place first?

In case we damage them.

My furniture

is made from redwood.

Be careful

when you're moving them.

I will stay at my daughter's place for now.

After two days, I'll check

and I'll only pay if I'm satisfied.

Mrs. Wang.

Your kitchen needs to be refurbished too.

I'll do it for you.

And for that refrigerator,

we'll move it too.

Wonderful!

That's the attitude, young man.

Finish

your work quickly.

I'll go back to man the shop now.

We accepted a cheaper rate

and now, we're helping her to move?

My best friend is coming.

I can't let him see my destitution.

Move this furniture to our place

so that it looks tidy and proper.

Bravo.

Lu can't keep a secret at all.

Let's work.

I have to pick up my junior later.

He's staying over at our place tonight.

What about me then?

In this case,

today's pay is all yours.

Spend it as you see fit.

And at night,

find a place to sleep.

Don't go to that VHS room.

It's too expensive.

I didn't get enough food this morning.

Foshan

Beijing

Stay civilized Let the passengers descend first

What do you think?

It's too hot here,

so I cut my hair short.

Senior!

You're skinnier than before!

Come on. Give me.

What am I supposed to do?

Brother Lu and you kept giving me excuses.

I thought you were trafficked.

The one who can traffic me isn't even born yet.

This is

just a temporary home.

It's small and simple,

but it's inhabitable.

My main complaint

is this tiny television.

It's only 21 inches.

And also this refrigerator.

It's too noisy. It wakes me up all the time.

Stop showing off already.

I think it's not bad.

Also, this redwood furniture.

It's not soft enough. I don't like it.

A leather sofa is better.

My butt is not as picky as yours.

I don't mind any seat at all.

I was worried about you.

I thought something bad happened.

If I saw you struggling here,

I would drag you back to Huayan if I have to.

It seems like I worried too much there.

You're enjoying your life here.

How complacent.

You're right.

I honestly think

that I need to

reflect upon the hardship I've endured.

Or else, I'll get too full of myself.

I'm hungry.

Mr. Xiao, maybe you can treat me to a meal?

Spare me, please.

I have had too many business dinners lately.

Every day,

it's either meat, fish, or seafood

in my tummy.

I...

You know what?

Can you

cook something northern for me?

I'm sick of the southern cuisine.

So I came all the way here

to cook for you?

Fine.

Let me see what's in your fridge.

There's beef,

some veggies,

and Cantonese flat noodles.

This is...

Just mix and match.

Anything will do.

Sure.

Chef Pei.

Here, please.

Just prepare your mouth.
