Scram x3

Am I the type of person to listen to these kinds of songs?

See?

Boss me listens to this.

No wonder I’ve been walking around reciting words this evening.

It's all because of this shitty hotel.

Also this group of doormen

Moving my stuff and ruining my luck

Screw you all

Call security

Don’t leave

This isn’t over, I’m telling you

What’s not over, don’t leave

What are you doing, let go

Let go of me, do you hear me or not

Let me tell you

One phone call and I can have you all go to jail

Jason, what are you doing, let go of him

Try me. Let go of him.

Move your hand away

Screw you

Sir

Sorry sir

What will you do

The doorman dares to hit me

No no, sorry sir

Our workers are young and immature

I apologize on behalf of him

Are apologies effective?

Look at my car, how scratched up it is.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Your hotel services just like this?

Yes yes whatever you say.

Scammer, are you? *Pengci refers to a tactic where a collision by a person is faked to scam money

Do you know where this is?

Can you say less

Continue

You doorman, you

Let’s speak nicely

Uncle

Later I made the decision

and waived the room and meal charges for the guest

to finally appease him.

I take leadership responsibility for this matter

I caused negative impact for the hotel

I am very sorry.

Phillip,

Is your injury serious?

No, it’s not serious

it’s fine

Okay.

Then let me ask,

in our hotel's employee service code

what is the first line/rule?

In any situation

you can't blame the customer.

In any issue that arises

the worker must reflect and deal with it themselves first.

So why did you not operate according to the first rule just now?

Just now

when customers have objections

you can explain

you can apologize

you can ask the manager to come deal with it

Having a confrontation with a guest at the entrance

is the worst way to deal with it.

Steven

How long has he worked at our hotel?

This is the 6th year.

6 years. And these small affairs aren’t dealt with well.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I will urge him to re-learn

our hotel regulations.

I will record this matter in your file.

I hope you will learn your lesson.

Next time, don't let this kind of thing happen again.

Okay,

you can go out.

What's the matter?

I want to ask, as for Wang Niu-

err, Jason, how will he be dealt with?

Jason got in a fight with the guest,

so he must be seriously dealt with seriously

I have to discuss the full details with Steven.

You can leave now.

my

own

brother, big brother, big brother,

big brother,

Why must you arrive one hour late?

Why must you let the hotel pay for your personal reasons?

And you group of doormen

Screw you all

You should be ashamed of yourself

Passionate about life, maintain health

welcome wonderful old years.

Elderly health maintenance exercise begins now

Not sleeping?

What are you doing

Thanks.

*Curry, Curry by Milk Coffee is an OST from Ode to Joy 2

You’re disturbing people here!

Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia

Curry, bak kut teh, Indonesian basil

Do you hear or not?

Do spas, release fireworks, take a sauna

Coco(nut), pineapple, mango mango! You’re disturbing people.

What are you doing

What are you doing

You’re disturbing people

Young man

Seeking conflict are you

I, I live upstairs

I always have night shifts

I have to sleep upon coming back

With you all dancing here,

I can’t fall asleep.

I’ve been tolerating you all for so long

Well then sorry

Actually,

It’s not a matter of being apologetic or not

Is this garden owned by you?

Then show us your property ownership certificate

show us, and once we’ve seen it, we’ll lift our butts and leave.

Disturbing people? Disturbing what people where?

You’re just one person,

how can you represent all the people

Is this garden your family’s?

Living in a small beatup home

and still need to have these few hundred squares of garden drawn into your home

Then why not buy a villa?

It’s quiet in villas.

Why won’t you speak reason?

Who’s not speaking reason

I'm seeing that it's you youth being unreasonable

We are in public space exercising *Ala is Shanghainese for us

It’s not like we’re dancing on your bed at home

On what basis are you saying we’re disturbing people

For real. There are provisions for disturbing people

from 9pm to 9am

this time frame

using noise to disturb people is forbidden

We took note of the time when opening the speakers.

Altogether we just dance not even one hour.

No one else has an issue.

In this whole complex,

only you need to sleep?

Say, what is wrong with youths today?

Normal people all work or go to school

I

He says he takes the night shift

but he doesn’t look like he has a proper night shift.

You- this-

Didn’t you say you’re part of this complex

How come I’ve never seen you?

Renter, perhaps?

Do you have proof?

Yeah, bring it here for us to see

Yeah, take it out

For real.

Yeah, take it out for a look

I anticipate he doesn’t have it

What is this

Why is he drinking cigarette butts

What is this

He brought assets with him?

And threw beer bottles at us?

I think you don’t want to live anymore.

When we old sisters played this game

you were still air

If you anger us into a problem

high blood pressure,

brain hemorrhage,

are you able to pay up?

The later half of your life

would just be handed over here,

young man

Continue

*Sally Yeh's 潇洒走一回 (Walk Gracefully Once)

Young man, grab a broom,

and come back and sweep this place.

What are you doing, are you crazy now?

Why do you drop cigarette butts in beer bottles?

Why do I want to throw-

You trying to regulate me?

It’s not like I threw them into your mouth

How do you know you didn’t throw-

You- you threw it where?

I said thank you though?

Is he crazy now?

What are you doing instead of sleeping?

Perhaps life is just like this

There’s laugher and tears

Some people are responsible for laughter

But people like me

are solely responsible for tears

Going downstairs full of pride

but returning back with thousands of sores and hundreds of holes

I’ve lost all face for Dongbei people.

The king tells me to scout the mountains *Song from Journey to the West

Be careful of Sun Wukong

Shifu, Bajie (Monk & Pig)

Get up, get up

Old Chen is spending a lot of money today *Literally: losing a lot of blood

swept through Jingkelong *Chinese supermarket chain in Beijing

Old Wang

Ah, I'm awake!

what happened, what happened

Stop sleeping

Finally a day of rest with great difficulty

I bought a demon stock yesterday. *stocks with peculiar and weird stock price movements

It rose in value and stopped(?)

Today I treat everyone to ribs

Drink a cup (of wine) in a bit

It’ll let you and brother Zhengzheng to calm some nerves

Good kid, so filial

Go make it

Give some ideas

Braised or sweet and sour

Basi. *Basi (lit. pulling silk) refers to boiling sugar into a liquid that can be pulled into strands, often to coat fried foods.

I’ll pull your silk strands. *Basi (lit. pulling silk) refers to boiling sugar into a liquid that can be pulled into strands, often to coat fried foods.

Braised x3

I'll eat whatever you make

Zhengzheng bro, get up and get to work

We're eating ribs~

Old Wang, where’s Zhengzheng bro

Braised

We're hitting it x2

Are you okay

Excuse me x3

Sorry x2

It’s alright x2

This way, drive this way

Reverse.

Could you help me push a bit

Thanks, I appreciate it, I’ve troubled you

Be careful, that's good

Good

thank you

Mom

Hey son, catching up on sleep?

Just about

Then I’ll make the long story short

I’ve just decided with your dad

and wanted to tell you

This year for new year’s celebrating

Us two are going to Hainan

to find your 2nd uncle

Where he is, the temperature is high

let your dad bask in the sun

to save him from howling in the winter.

His old cold legs can’t tolerate it

With this,

us two won’t be coming back to celebrate the new year

Then, do I come back-

Since you have a home in Beijing,

then don’t come home and mess around

Take care of yourself

that’s stronger than anything

Son, big Zheng son

I’m listening

I’m listening. I- I know now.

Okay. Then you continue sleeping

You still have to work the night shift tonight

Okay, I’m hanging up now

I fell in a long, long dream

The dirt/clay adobe in my dream was super warm *Northerners use bricks to make a sleeping platform, and there’s holes connected to a heat source

I’m thinking that tomorrow I need to ask for money from my mom

Like needing to buy snacks for school spring trips

This time,

I won’t let her use a packet of (sunflower) seeds

to trick me

Perhaps I am 20 years apart from my last spring trip

I’m unwillingly apart from my snack buying parents

we’re separated by a whole world *Literally: the skies south, the seas north

Douzi

It’s done simmering, we can remove the pot

Hurry up

I’m coming right now

You shower upon coming

Do your dorms not have a bathhouse?

Well, there’s no line for showering here

Cut the crap, eat food, eat food

Make a space, hurry hurry hurry

Old Wang, wake up, brush your teeth

Where’s the book that serves as the pot’s mat

Just grab a new book for the mat

Must you find that book?

I let Zhengzheng take the book

But that book is thick

Don’t put down (the pot) yet

If you burn that table broken, the landlord will make you pay

Are you capable or not

If you can’t find it, use his pillow to pad it

It burns my hands

Coming coming

Hold it a while longer

Without that book, it’s not like we’re unable to eat ribs

Is it there?

Found it x3

Why are you starting to read it?

Hurry

Look

What's going on

He wants to resign

It’s time

It’s time

That boat

Yeah, you, that yellow duck

come back,

hurry

yeah it's time

I know now.

What are you doing, hurry up

what are you doing

Don’t dilly-dally around, hurry up

Rescue me!!

Was that Zhengzheng?

What did he say

He’s letting us eat first, don’t worry about him

I feel like

this kid is just lacking sleep

Let him get peaceful sleep for some days

Maybe that will do it.

Or we could think of something

like switching shifts with him

Let him have some day shifts to adjust his time-zone inconsistencies (jet lag)

Why didn’t you bring it up sooner

Taking measures after the fact but to no avail* *Literally: Cannon after horse, Chinese chess terminology

I wasn’t aware of the problem’s severity beforehand, besides

I had night shifts some days ago too.

Maybe it’s related to the fight you all had this morning

Didn’t he receive a punishment

He’s holding in resentment in his heart

I received a punishment too

How come I don’t hold resentment

Does he need to get to that point

(as someone who) works in hotels

Who won’t meet some bastards

Resigning without a word,

what can he go do

He won’t want to go back to his hometown right?

If that’s the case, this will be hard to deal with.

You can’t stop people and not let them return home

Never mind

Stop him for what purpose

This shitty place has what good about it even?

Everyday at the hotel entrance

Let’s not mention how we stand till we become biological specimens

We still have to be like grandsons

Humbly bowing, bending knees, please people all around

When bullied

we don’t have a place to reason

Then we are not going to ask him to stay?

I’m unwilling to let go of Zhengzheng bro

Ask him to stay what

When you coax him back

would you just let him continue to live muddle-headed?

Zhengzheng bro has the courage to leave like he says he’ll leave

I admire him

What say you, old Wang?

Douzi

you put that resignation letter back

Let’s pretend we don’t know about this matter

No matter if he leaves or stays

that’s his own decision

As his brother, I support him regardless

Executive suite

even you all want to live in that?

Yeah, just for one night

Relatives are coming?

Nah,

we’re just thinking

Forget it, I’m not interested

This matter is not possible

Hotel rooms are not private property

We can’t let employees live (in them) just because they want to

Manager Sun

We won’t live in vain, we'll give money

Then go to the front desk and pay the money

What are you finding me for

Well that’s because, at our level,

there’s no employee discount for opening an executive suite

So… we just want some discount

Yeah.

How much of a discount?

30% off

Manager, don’t worry,

we’ll clean up after ourselves

We won’t bring trouble to the hotel

Right right right

Like you all bring few troubles

yet you want 30% off

One executive suite room is worth 2000.

With human labor, water, electricity,

and room amenities fees,

that is already exceeding 30%.

And this doesn’t include equipment maintenance

Along with executive suites’ exclusive service fees

In addition

Employee discounts

are tied in to the hotel’s average room price the previous year

According to these two years,

even if we consider a standard room

at most the discount is 60-70% off

And you three want a 30% discount on an executive suite?

You’re joking right

Okay Manager Sun, we understand now

We’ll leave now

I need to be responsible to the hotel

so I can’t give you all such a low discount

According to hotel rules,

manager level employees can enjoy a 50% employee discount on executive suites

If you all are sure about this,

I can let the front desk help you book it.

Are you sure?

(We) welcome your next visit

Shifu, Jingdian

After getting off work today, do you have any plans

Do what now

Actually, today is my birthday

Really?

Isn’t it next month?

Today?

I feel so embarrassed, disciple

Shifu forgot about this

Let’s see, in a few days

in a few days I’ll make up your birthday present

Me too

That’s not necessary, what gifts do I want

I’m just thinking

we haven’t eaten skewers in so long

Let’s use this opportunity to get together

Let's call, call Douzi too

I’ll treat you all

I won’t go

I

I’m helping someone in the hospital *Chanshi is a Beijing term referring to using money/relations to deal with difficulties

I can’t afford to lose that person

I didn’t say we were going to THAT restaurant

I won’t go either

Tonight, I have other plans

You have plans too right?

Yeah

I planned to go shopping at the mall with Douzi

Well then there’s no hope

Okay, fine.

It’s my fault for mentioning it too late

Jingdian, check your watch, what time is it

Finally near time to get off work

Then, let me go to the restroom

Douzi, are you done over there

With great effort finally I have a day shift

I need to go get some good rest after I go back in a while

We can eat skewers anytime right

That's true

Shifu,

what happened to your eyes

Nothing’s wrong with my eyes

The people you stare at everyday

these people, these cars,

you’ve overused your eyes

Close them for a while

Me too x2

Getting to work?

Son, happy birthday

Thank you mom

I’m very happy

Then, y’all have fun in a bit

I plan to directly go home in a bit

What! Going where?

You’re finally wiling to meet me

Go, let’s go to the executive hallway

What, are you still mad at me?

Are we gonna talk about it?

If not, I’m leaving

We’re talking about it, yes

Then, wait a moment

I want to give them a call

Let them make a space

This is the executive hallway

Without business we cannot come up

Don’t speak the obvious

What are you all doing

You haven’t seen a robbery?

In a robbery you steal a wallet,

so what are you covering my eyes for?

I can’t even see the path anymore.

We’re helping you, walk straight

Hello.

Hello.

Highest grade

Unparalleled

Let me see

You're dreaming. Let's go.

SURPRISE!

Happy birthday!

Is this surprising? Is this unexpected?

Unexpected

This is so unexpected

Who let you all make it like this?

What are you doing

Who’s birthday are you celebrating?

Does it not look good?

It’s so romantic.

I blew these balloons till my hands were sore.

The problem isn’t whether it looks good or not,

the problem is this isn’t celebrating your birthday.

uhh..

Uhh.. this this this

There’s some miscommunication

At least, no harm was done(?)

Understanding the spirit(?)

I like it

For real.

In the previous days,

I dreamed of my childhood

In elementary,

I wanted to celebrate my birthday at KFC

but my mom never fulfilled my wish even once

I said that Zhengzheng bro would like this!

See!

Thank you Douzi

Thank you brothers

No need to thank (us)

If we had known you were so easily waited on

We’d have really taken you to KFC

Fine, now we’ve spent a lot of money

There’s not enough time for our flesh to hurt (referring to how fast they spent the money)

Just go with what comes around *rough translation of idiom

Yeah yeah yeah

This cake was chosen just for you by Chen Jingdian and Douzi

The most expensive type

but the smallest size

And these clams, shrimp, and stir fried chicken

are all from your shifu specially begging the kitchens to make for you

That's nothing.

Thank you shifu

thank you everyone

Okay okay

Let’s make a wish and blow the candles

Ok ok ok

Let’s x3

The birthday present everyone is sending you is a

1.8 meter big bed

latex mattress

imported duvet

You can roll however you want,

open the AC to whatever degree you want,

sleep from whenever to whenever

Cheers!

Birthday boy

We’re celebrating your birthday

Are you really not even going to take one sip of wine?

I won’t drink

But shifu specially bought you this imported beer

Isn’t your favorite this beer added with lemon flavor?

I'll drink red today

So boring.

In a few days,

In a few days, I will finish something

and then I’ll treat everyone to drink their heart out

Parting drink?

You know already?

I think it’s not just me

Does Mr. Xu still want anything?

No

If there’s anything I’ll call you then

Thank you

Actually, in this period apart

I’ve always been quitting smoking

Previously,

weren’t you always disgusted with my lack of control

and how I smoked so much

You couldn’t wait to nag at me for a few minutes every time we met

I know you’re worried about me

I’m just disgusted that you’ve exposed smoke fumes to me

Xu Bin, I am not interested in your bad habits

You don't have to report it. This thing is

You don’t need to report this by being like a crazy stalker

Tracking my flights, and clinging me to death messily fighting (literal)

have kindness,

Youen. Sit down.

Xu Bin, you listen to me.

You go find whoever you enjoy exposing smokes fumes to

I specially came today

just to make words clear

Don’t contact me again

Don’t impact my work and life

I know you’re still mad at me

But these affections are paid out

like water that’s poured out

How can one take them back with you just saying to take them back?

I just want to ask you

Do I not matter in your heart?

What you said is overly serious

I, Zheng Youen, can afford to let go

At the time when I said I liked you, I genuinely liked you

Right now when I say to break up, I genuinely mean to break up

Don’t have high regards for yourself

In my heart,

you actually count as nothing

After you go back (referring to his hometown),

what do you plan on doing?

I haven’t thought about it

Maybe I’ll go plant strawberries with my old man

Plant strawberries?

or rent a place by the Yalu River

and open a hostel

or take over my dad’s work in the factory

drive a mine car

Saying all these things once you open your mouth(?)

You’re type C license

You’d have to add that driving type

That’s easy

It’s faster to learn to drive there than in Beijing

There’s no people in the driving schools

More cars than people

It doesn’t matter what you do

Once you go back

You need to change your temper first

Yeah, it’s time to change it

I need to change it back

What do you mean

Last time I went back

My classmates in the past met me and said

You’re nothing like a Dongbei person anymore

Aren’t you a Dongbei person?

What does it mean to not be like a Dongbei person?

Little kids

don't even know what "two worlds" mean

When I was young,

my temper was, well

I really wanted face

I got angry when prompted

I’d rather have my head bleed

than let myself suffer even a little grievance

Just this

If it was in the past

Some bleeding and I’d be over it

The guy driving the Benz

wouldn’t be able to drive for half a year

Old Wang,

your disciple is such a character

Little Zhengzheng, I didn’t see that (you had it in you)

Shifu disrespected you

Then how have you become like this

Right now…

I become like what?

Useless. Coward.

Old Wang doesn’t mean that

It doesn’t matter if he means that anyways

I know that what I say

sounds like bragging

Truly,

it seems that I can only brag now

I threw away my temper from before

I don’t know it anymore

It’s all because

That year I came from Dandong to Beijing

at the train station

My bear tempered old father

for the first time in his life

said to me one gentle phrase

Beijing is large, don’t make trouble

if you make trouble, dad can’t cover for you

Just this one phrase

All my skills were sealed

But I know

Beijing is not Dongbei

and Beijing is specially not Dandong

People must learn to

be more behaved, be more proper

So once I arrived in Beijing

I think my heart is bright,

and there’s hope ahead

But then I realized, I have to learn other things

I have to learn other things

I have to learn to see people’s complexion, learn to compromise

Learn to enjoy myself

When I had learned everything,

I lay paralyzed on that bed

But I

have nothing to fight for in the world anymore

I have no more desires

I have receded in my world

to only that one bed

I just want to sleep, dream

and then get up,

energetically pretend to be a grandson

How come this isn’t even possible?

Going home is good

I don’t think I can withstand it here longer either

Don’t learn from me.

You’re doing well here

Am I doing well though?

Upon college graduation, the first time I took the postgraduate exam,

I was off by 3 points

I didn’t want my family to nag me

So I stayed in Beijing to continue testing

I considered Beijing’s high rent,

so I planned to

first be a hotel doorman.

This would solve my food and living problems

plus, there would be a place for me to study

But in the end, I retook it a 2nd year

and I was off by 13 points

In the 3rd year, I advanced by leaps and bounds,

and was off by around 80 points.

So annoying.

I’m more ashamed the more I talk about it.

It’s all because of this wine.

Douzi is not bad though.

She never asked you for anything

Yeah,

Right now she doesn’t have any requests

But what about in 3-5 years?

I still have to test

I have to give myself and her an explanation

I’ve never seen Beijing from here

Beijing is so big

How big Beijing is

has nothing to do with you

All you have here is a balcony

It’s not larger than your home

Going home is good.

Do good work once you go home.

No matter where you are, you need to live well,

and accomplish your goals.

Yeah,

I won't think about it more

I'll go back.

It’s not like I have goals anyways.

It’s the same anywhere I am.
