Original subtitles

Subbed by unmoogical - hope you enjoy :)

Sit

Sit

Jingdian, grab a cup

Let us drink alcohol

I saw it was fairly close

so I came by

Y'all drink, don't worry about me

I still have stuff to do later, so I'll be leaving in a bit

How can we let you leave

I received the flowers already

It wouldn't be proper to not keep you for some drinks

Come, I toast a drink to you

Thank you

Look

I didn't prepare you

any gifts in advance

I just bought some flowers on my way here

Who's talking about the flowers

I'm talking about something you did

What

The customer who drove the Benz

The one we had a conflict with

The punishment that was given

Was just to let me study the employee handbook for a few days

Wages and awards were not deducted from

It was you who put in a word for me wasn't it

Thank you

Alright

After drinking for respects, it's time to drink for punishments

What's the punishment

That has to go according to our customs

1 cup for being late by 5 minutes

You took so long

You're punished to have 3 cups

It's not too much right

It's not

Not okay, it should be however many cups it should be

No

I really can't dirnk

Take it easy

Take what easy

Quantity isn't a thing on the wine table, Manager Sun

No no no, it's too much

You must have 3 cups

Don't hesitate

If you hesitate, another 3 cups will be added

Good

Shifu, is it fine

Nothing can go wrong with beer

Good

Steven

Steven

See

What did I say

I said he can't drink

Have we ever seen him drink normally

He's clearly not someone who can't drink

Now it's just great

Getting some cups of alcohol in his stomach

And he's passed out

I was afraid of him just leaving

Originally we didn't ask him to come though

Who knew that he'd really come when asking him

And he brought flowers

Letting someone leave right after they sit down

makes me look like a bad host

Normally in our colleague gatherings

no one calls him to come either

I heard that those executives

don't interact with him in private

It seems that in our hotel

He really doesn't have friends

I know

I heard that before he was at

a 4 star hotel and almost became a vice president

But later that hotel collapsed (went out of business)

So he came here

Later, he tried to charge up the ranks a few times

But he didn't charge up successfully

Pretty pitiful

Come on

Don't think too much about it

He has

a hotel personnel room for himself upstairs

a grand suite

Our dorms were in the basement

8 people in a room

We were pretty happy

Maybe

He eats seafood bibimbap every day

and his life reached peaks long ago

We don't need to take turns sympathizing for him

Say less, Jingdian

You said that he wouldn't come

He came

When doing drink punishments, he drank them

I think Manager Sun is pretty sincere

Actually

Originally, I

was pretty annoyed by him

But I think that

After he drank these few glasses today

he's alright

Kinda simple minded

a bit cute

don't you think?

Meat skewers are ready

Everyone eat while they're still hot

There's steamed buns too

After they're done baking, I'll bring them over

There's more, Jason?

I can't eat anymore

You really spent a lot of money today

Eat, hurry and eat

This is one time in 15 years

Jiujin

Next time

it'll be a bowl of Liangpi per person *noodle-like Chinese dish made from wheat or rice flour

Are you busy right now

What's up

I want to buy a box of cigarettes to sober up

Come with me

Okay

Wait for me a bit

Let me tell my boss

Brother

You normally don't smoke

Why did you think you buy cigarettes?

I don't smoke often

Then stop smoking

Smoking is bad for your body

Yes

I just wanted to tell you

You put extras on the table today

Those meat skewers

I'm telling you

We just ordered 100

You brought at least 130

There were also dozens of extra tendons

Right?

In a bit when I pay the bill

remember to make it up

Don't let your boss find out and deduct your wages

Are you afraid of my boss hearing

so you took me out to say this?

Just pay more attention normally

But today, we

did order a lot

We added more stuff a lot in the middle

It's easy to make a mistake

See, thankfully it's me

If it were other people, it might not be the case

Think about it

You'd be scolded

and would have wasted the night's efforts

I didn't make a mistake

There was no mistake

No mistake? Then

You

You gifted it to me?

Isn't today

your 15th year of entering the industry

I want to help you celebrate it too

A little something

It's just that I earn so little

and can only gift you that much

As long as you and your friends are happy eating them, it's fine

Uh

Are we still going to the supermarket?

We're going

Okay

Let's go

So exciting

The manager has knocked out because of me

so exciting

I think my life has reached its peak

In the future, if he dares scold me again

I'll just take this picture

and show it to his face

Then you'll 100% be fired

Nah

We're all men

Are we that narrow-minded?

Will you all not take some photos?

Hurry

Take a picture

Let me see

Zhengzheng bro

Are you not going to take a pic? Store some blackmail material

I'm dealing with proper business

We've made the manager black out

Really not keeping away from trouble

Right now I'm taking photos with him

It's really funny

Do you want to see?

What are you doing

Delete it, what are you doing

No shit

Is it proper to say these things to goddess

What other silly things have you said today

I

I said we were eating skewers here

The skewers are really tasty

Next time, I'll invite her to come and eat

And then that the skewer sticks

have become a small mountain

I said if you don't believe me, I'll take a picture for you

Stop right there

What is all this mess

Is it not funny?

I think it's pretty funny

Pretty funny

Yeah, see, even Douzi is amused

No wonder your goddess is ignoring you

If she ignores me, then she ignores me

My mentality isn't so anxious anymore

As for me, right now it's

Whatever I think in my heart

Any food or drink I run into that's delicious

Anything fun

I uncontrollably share with her

After a few years, with some organization

maybe it can become a novel

I've already come up with the name

Just call it Deep Love Journal

How's it

Okay

I suggest a name change

Call it Flattery Journal

You're so annoying

If I were your goddess

I'd block you long ago

Wait

Your goddess hasn't

blocked you already right

Well

How would I know

if she blocked me or not

Send a text and ask

She won't respond

Then

Then how about I block you

and see if there's a prompt or not

That's reasonable

Quick

Block me

Block me, hurry

Block me

What if you can't readd him

You hold this, it's for you

What's this for?

Girls all like to eat snacks

I don't know what you like to eat

and picked some casually

How can I eat this all

Brother Wang, you helped me with so much

and always take care of my business

Treating you to eat skewers was because I genuinely wanted to treat you

I'm treating you because I genuinely want to treat you too

Don't be polite with me

Brother Wang

Right

I wanted to say

There's ice cream inside

Hurry and eat it, don't let it melt

I'll do it

In my childhood, this was

my favorite flavor

I don't know if you'll like eating it or not

I like it

I'll do it

I think it's a bit melted

Don't let it stick to your hands

It's yummy

It's alright

It's still the flavor from my childhood

Let's go

Okay, let's go

I'll carry it for you

Thank you

Eat

Slow down

Be careful

This way

Slow down a bit

Don't let him curl up(?)

It really is a suite

So much more comfortable than our dorm

Of course

yet you show him sympathy

Do we need to?

But his place doesn't look like a home either

He works in a hotel

and is still in a hotel after work

He doesn't have any sense of belonging

It's not even better than my balcony home

Yeah

Your balcony is so good

Let me treat you to grapes sometime

The super sour kind

You said so

If I don't see any grapes

Then you have to treat me to a meal

No matter what turns you take, you want to

take advantage of me huh

Actually, for someone like Manager Sun

living alone

also can be nice

It's quiet

Shifu

If you like Jiujin

Why don't you say so directly?

Is it that obvious?

It's almost written on your face

But you still ask?

Actually I don't understand

Like, me and Youen

One is up in the sky, one is down on the ground

Never mind

But you two clearly

have mutual feelings

Why not be direct and confess?

I think Jiujin

really has good feelings for you

Otherwise she wouldn't accompany you just now

to buy things at the store

It's possible

I really like her

Maybe she

also likes me a bit

But if you want to talk about dating

Just my conditions

She came to Beijing to struggle

to find a doorman?

Then I would feel wronged for her

You're absolutely right

According to what you said

Me and Douzi

shouldn't date then

Y'all don't need to be concerned for me

This is called being clear-headed

I know how much I weight

Thinking back

It was hurdle when I was 30

I wanted to have a family

I wanted to improve

I wanted to charge upwards

Why

I felt like I wasn't young anymore

Your shifu then was also anxious

Anxious about what?

Don't laugh

This work is pretty accurate

Anxiety

Some years ago, it was called pressure/stress

Nothing could be done

I couldn't pass English

My education is just a vocational high school

I can't speak to the test proctors

about the old history of hotels

They know more than me

They're all from my shifu's generation

After passing 30 years of age

I got exhausted all of a sudden

These days

I can't help it

Eyes open and close

After reaching this age

if you still want to work hard

When you see new

gilded young lads from abroad arrive

You really can't get yourself going

Stop smoking, Lao Wang

Me, I'm not a fighter

And didn't end up doing anything promising

It's highly likely in this lifetime

I will be a doorman till I'm old

Why hinder other people?

A living example is right in front of your eyes

Manager Sun is my future

If we really want to discuss further

I'm not better off than him

No way

If you're going to be a manager

you would be so much nicer than Catfish Fiend

Jingdian

Don't just see that Manager Sun

doesn't give you face

He doesn't owe you

Of course, you don't owe him either

But we all owe the CEO

The CEO pays us

If something happens on the lower levels

The CEO goes to him first

He's the unlucky one

He doesn't have anything he can do about it

If you don't want to suffer wrongs

Okay

Then do your own work well

or have more capabilities than other people

Do whatever of these two

Just using the fact that you're young

in a few years that won't be effective

Shifu

Talk about me

Talk about you?

What do I have good to say about you

You have a hand of good cards

don't play them badly *Xianggong in the game of mahjong means that the number of tiles in mahjong is wrong, so it cannot be played.

Your grandmaster told me something

I'll pass it along to you

You, kid

are of material to be in the hotel business

It's too bad

My shifu had bad eyesight looking at me then (made a bad decision about him)

I hope I didn't make a bad decision about you

Do you know

Every day, it doesn't matter

if I have anything unhappy on my mind

As long as I see you, Xiao Zhengzheng

My waist stop being sore and my legs stop hurting

In one breath, I can lift 10

32 inch Rimowas

For real?

Really

You

Just have a temper so good it's scary

Every time we run into those

Annoying, mourning,

or disgusting people

I can't handle it

But you all manage to get by all of them

and it doesn't stop you continuing to be happy

You

With your patience

if you don't make it big working in a hotel

Then I'm really blind

So

Don't waste time

If you have time

learn more things you should be learning

Okay, shifu

In the future, my clothes

wash them for me

Make supper for me too

Wait, why do you

only do the devious

Okay

That is just like me

Goddess appears?

What goddess

My mom

she won at mahjong again

You and your mom look so alike

Say hi to auntie for me

Okay

Your mom is so good

My mom never sends me pictures

She only sends me voice messages

She sends me 8 in one breath

1 message is 59 seconds

How come I didn't think of this before?

Think of what before?

I know what to tell Youen

Please

She hasn't even accepted your friend request

And you still want to send 59 second voice messages

You wish

No, no

Today

I took a lot of pictures for Auntie Liu

Do you want to see?

Add me!

Listen to me

Tomorrow, keep sending her

10,000 Whys

Mom

Don't play too late

Hurry home and get some rest

All is fine here with me

My colleague says hi

I'm not playing anymore

Good night, son

Say hi to your colleague for me

Shifu

Let's take a picture together

I'll send it to my mom

Sure

I'll take it for you two

Come, shifu

Here we go

Use the camera

Not the camera in WeChat

I know

Make sure to get the buildings in the back

Let's go

Okay ready

1, 2, 3

Tips

How is it

Not bad, like 2 good people

Look

What

Let me see

I've been accepted

What's been accepted

Goddess, Zhengzheng's goddess

Give it to me

Really?

I've accepted your friend request, we can start chatting now. (This line is system default) Send them.

WeChat has a bug?

That's the only explanation

Oh my

It's been accepted

Goddess accepted me!

Normally I never noticed

Our hotel is actually quite pretty

Yes

Really pretty

Hello

Are you well?

Today, have you eaten?

Captain

Car's here

Okay

Everyone, the car's here

Let's go

If you still act like this

I'm going to call the police

All the pictures I took aren't very good

I'll retake some tomorrow morning

Wait for me

Come

After I count to 3

Everyone pose

1, 2, 3

Eggplant *Equivalent to saying cheese when taking photos

Looking good

Make another post

Can you lift your legs a little

My waist can't handle that

Then don't move, don't move

Lift your hand a little

Looking good

Okay

That's good

That was a well taken photo

Y'all take photos

I'm going to go drink some water

Go, go, go

Hurry

Go, go, go

Auntie

How about we stop here for today

We've taken quite a bit

What's the rush?

You're the one who wants to take photos

and also the one who's in a rush to leave

Where is this going(?)

You have to take more to be able to pick out good ones

Hurry

Make a pose

Xiao Zhang

For real

We still have a lot of poses

Let's go

Zhang

Notify us when you take the photo

We want to puff out our chests and recede our stomachs

Otherwise we'd look fatter

Right

Here we go, 1

Squat a bit

Right, this way we look taller

Come

Hurry, come on

Look

Is this okay?

Yes, quite good

Keep taking (photos)

Okay, change poses

Xiao Zhang

You take photos first

In a bit, come here

Auntie has something to say to you

Okay, I'm almost done here

Hurry, change poses

Look at him, good

Here we go, 123

Okay, we'll stop here for today

Good enough

We'll take more next time

How about this

Next time we'll change clothes

We'll take photos once a week, how does that sound?

Sounds good, sister Sun

Let's dissolve now

Let's dissolve

Let us see

I'll send the photos into the group chat in a bit

Okay

Sounds good, thank you

Auntie, why is there a next time

Don't worry, they won't remember

You go busy with your stuff

Thank you auntie

Auntie Liu

What's up

Xiao Zhang

Xiao Zhang

Do you think our Youen is pretty? *Ala is Shanghainese for our/us

Pretty

You just know to see that Youen is pretty

Look at yourself

Xiao Zhang, Auntie is gonna tell the truth

Don't get hurt

After you left that day

Youen told me to quickly open up the windows

to freshen up the air

She says you have a rustic air about you

And it confuses her eyes

But I'm a man

What can I adjust myself into?

What you just said is wrong *She uses Shanghainese to say "wrong"

What you mean is

People can't only look at outer appearances

Right?

Right

The people who say that

are unreasonable

When you young people look for girlfriends

you look for who's pretty

and think that that's justified

Then I want to ask you

On what basis should girls

not look at outer appearances

and just focus on inner beauty

If you have squinting eyes, poking beard *Shanghainese

Messy hair *Shanghainese

Sloppy dress *Shanghainese

what's the use of having inner beauty? *She uses Shanghainese towards the end of this line

Are outer appearances not important?

You can't

Every time they want to meet with you

Feel like you're going to be tortured by instruments in your heart

Dating isn't doing good deeds

In the future, the two people

are going to get a marriage license

Not going to get an award

Right?

Right, this is all very reasonable

I

actually also want to dress more fasionably

But I think

Money needs to be spent in proper places

If men all took their money to buy clothes

and dress up

I don't think that's the reality

Your thoughts are right

But you can't go the extreme

Look at your tanktop

Our dance group aunties

are all unwilling to wear it

Okay

Tomorrow I'll take you to buy clothes

You prepare money *Chaopiao is a common Shanghainese way of saying money

Auntie, how much money should I prepare

500

500 is enough

Auntie Liu will definitely help you change up your appearance *Literal: Change heads and appearance

It's enough to change clothes

It's not necessary to change heads

Disciple, hurry

Every day, what is he doing

Morning

Got up early huh

Rest day today?

What are you going to do

Can't do anything about it

I've transferred into a more intensive class (this class is more involved than his previous one, he needs more to keep up to standards)

I have class in the mornings too

This room's

smell of advancement sure is bewildering

You

Every night you're studying hard *use of idiom here about heads hanging over beams and thorns in bones, roughly

Him

Every morning he gets up early for square dancing

Even Douzi has been

brainwashed by Shining Moment

Say, as someone who can only open doors

should I not even go to the restroom

Hurry and go to work

You'll feel at ease

Weren't you the one rushing us to advance

a while ago

Why have you changed views all of a sudden *rough translation of meaning

Child

First belittle and then praise, don't you understand? *There's another idiom that's "first praise, and then belittle" with similar word structure

This is reverse encouragement, don't you get it

I don't know what reverse encouragement is

I only know what asking Buddha for help when there's an emergency is

In a few days, it's time for the month's exam

The whole class is full of young people

I'm the only person who's on the 4th attempt

If I don't pass this time

Do I still want face

Zhengzheng, hurry up

You shifu can't hold it anymore

Hurry

I'm done

Grandson

You're going out too?

I'm not going to work today

I have a date

A date?

Isn't your goddess abroad

Have you fallen in love with someone else?

The person who asked me out is my goddess

's mom

Y'all, you two

Don't

Boss

Xiao Zhang

What has Youen talked to you about lately?

What she tells about me

don't listen to any of it

You need to have the ability to differentiate

You can't become biased/blinded by her beauty

Actually we haven't talked about anything

She doesn't really respond to me

I feel like I'm still sending friend requests

It's just me and myself

having a fun chat

But up till now, I haven't discovered

anything in common we have to discuss

I originally thought

I could see her WeChat Moments (social media posts)

Understand her some more

But I realize

I think she blocked me from seeing it

She has no content in her WeChat Moments

That doesn't taste good

22 (bucks)

WeChat Moments

Youen doesn't like sending them anyways

Youen is like a submarine

You don't know when

she'll pop up

When she pops up, she launches missiles

In a day, I

send many Moments

I don't know which one peeved her

But she was so sarcastic in the comments

It's caused me to

no matter what I send

First I block her

You could block her too

Don't peeve her

Auntie, don't worry

I won't block her

If she curses me out

I'm happy too

You young lad

have a lot of thoughts huh

Xiao Chen

Sister, long time no see

Hello

Any new goods?

Yes

I've left it all for you

Come

Do you have men's clothes?

Yes

Foreign goods

Your son? He looks quite handsome

Don't speak nonsense

We dance together

Where is it?

Here, take a look

It's here

These pants are really good

First-line brand, original order from international trade

Feel this fabric

It's really soft

It's your size right?

Pretty much

Here, match a shirt with it

It's from Japan

In the markets

You won't find the same style

It's good

Okay

Here you are

Have a tanktop (casual shirt?) too

Big brand

This

Compare them

This one is good

Looks good doesn't it

Look

It makes you look skinny and Western

How handsome

Okay

This one

this one

this one, this one

You calculate

how much money

This much?

Sister, don't worry

I'll definitely give you the lowest price

These pants

are worth thousands in stores

I'll give you the stock price

380

This shirt

I'll just sell it to you as a match/pair

I won't earn any money

I'll count it as 200

I'm willing to take loses

This shirt

can't be cheaper

This is a celebrity item

It's so popular

Mercerized cotton fabric

Wearing it you can feel the aeration(?)

It protects you from skin disease

I'll count it as the package price of 500

The total it's 1080

I'll round off, give me 1000

Sister, you've really picked up a bargain

Let me package it for you

Auntie Liu

400

You only want one thing?

No

I want it all

Sister, are you digging me a hole?

Raise it a bit

450

800

500

What *Auntie Liu spoke in Shanghainese, so she didn't understand

500

Sister, make another step, and I'll take a step back

Give me 650

650 you can take it all

I'll consider it as taking a loss to bring goods

Okay

Xiao Zhang, let us go

Let's go

Sister

Sister, I must owe you

I really want to make friends with you

Even business where I take a loss

I'm willing to do it

500 is 500

So cruel

Go pay the bill

Come

Sister

Look

I especially left it for you

This keeps you warm

Look how thick this fleece is

It's good to wear in autumn and winter

Look how nice this color is

It makes your skin look white

Take a set

This item is hard to find

So pretty

This set of clothes is very Western style

Yeah

Sister, I'm telling you

This

isn't something anyone can wear

They have to have the right temperament

I won't sell it to some ordinary person

Look at sister wearing it

Her temperament sure stands out

Right?

Plus, you definitely won't run into someone wearing the same thing

Does it look good?

You wearing it

looks good

Against your will

you could say such a thing?

It can't count as fully against my will, can it

People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles

If you're pretty, you can wear whatever

These clothes

if worn on Auntie Liu

then they're not that ugly

If Auntie Sun wears it

then it's nowhere better than Auntie Liu

You

aren't blind thanks to love

You've had your conscience covered by love

Not to that extent

When Auntie Liu saw

those clothes, she liked them

Is it not good to make her happy?

Besides

She accompanied me to buy clothes for so long

and bargained till her mouth was dry

I can't ruin her mood

With you trying to get on her mom's good side

have you ever thought of a problem

What problem

Speaking and acting on the true intent of something else. *This idiom refers to Xiang Zhuang dancing a sword during the banquet, trying to assassinate Liu Bang.

You've just been thrusting around a sword

You've probably forgetten where Liu Bang is

She's flying in the skies

and will be back in a few days

Auntie Liu also gave me

the next schedule table

Who asked you about this

I'm saying

Don't make it a regular habit to flatter her

Or you'll really become her godson

With such a pretty younger sister

it's not bad either

You're not you anymore?

Hiding in the gutter and pretending to be a blue-eyed confidant

These kind of matters, I won't do

Pretty younger sisters

There's obligations and no rights

Are you silly

I'm happy

I don't mind it

I wouldn't make a fuss

What obligations and rights

With Youen to accompany me in the streets in the middle of the night *Literally: Paving/smoothing the road, during construction. Later used to describe people walking and strolling on the streets, and mostly used to describe the lovers in the city.

Buy some junk food or stuff

I could run around the 2nd Ring (highway in Beijing)

Why are you speaking in this manner

Shifu

You haven't rated

how this set of clothes is

I don't believe that you dare wear that out

Xiao Zhang

Your clothes are pretty fashionable

I newly bought them yesterday

Looks good

Looks good

Xiao Zhang

Auntie Liu

Young

Dazzling

It's so cold today

The weather god suddenly turned hostile

Meili

Where did you buy these clothes?

So Western looking

Meili

Is a clothes rack

She looks great no matter what she wears

What clothing rack

It's just that today is too cold

I wore whatever

Wore whatever

It looks good

Your clothes are pretty big

It's woolen isn't it

Are you not hot

Not hot

This set of clothes is imported

You think it's thick

But it's actually quite aerated/breathable

Feel it

Right

For real

There's even mesh

Right

I'm telling y'all

Although

it's already fall

But the sun is still really strong

If you wear too thinly

You can't shield away the UV rays

Then if you wear more, would they reflect

So damaging

Remember

With more UV radiation

It would accelerate cell aging

The most serious being skin cancer

I'm going to

pull this collar up

Protect my neck well

The neck shows youth the most

Xiao Zhang, am I right

Right

Scientific

Reasonable

Right, cover it all

From your hair all the way to the back of your feet, cover it all

Then we can't see determine your age

Are we still dancing or not?

Bald lads don't need hair-clips(?)

So mischievous

b e n e f i t

Benefit

e f i t

Benefit

Harassment call?

No

An old friend

They says they want to see me

I told them I'm not free

but they still call me

If they really want to come

Then meet them

Do I look like I have time?

Then they can come to our house

I'll cook for y'all

It won't affect your studying

Study your English well instead

I will check the listening and writing later

Listening and writing?

Yeah

Have you not gone to school

I say the Chinese, you write the English

One wrong, copy it 10 times

Are you taking the exam or am I taking the exam

20 times

I won't learn anymore

I don't want to learn anymore

I want to catch up on rest this afternoon

Too late

Initially when you wanted me to learn

You were so passionate about it

I think y'all ran out of eggs

I'm going to the supermarket okay

I'll be back soon
