(HIStory5: Love In The Future)

(Chapter 2)

It seems like Johnny Dai doesn't have any family.

The address on his identification card is a census address.

I don't know where he lives.

Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?

I'm sorry.

I haven't eaten anything today.

I feel weak

and missed it.

Never mind.

It takes a fight to make friends.

What happened? Young man.

You said you haven't eaten anything.

Have you become homeless like me?

I lost my job

because of the pandemic.

We kind of have the similar misfortune.

You did lose your job.

No. I mean...

It's a long story.

I don't even know

who I am.

Don't worry. A lot of people

never know who they are

throughout their entire lives.

Take a sit.

My name is Fude.

What's your name?

- Johnny Dai. - Johnny Dai.

Thank God.

It's the luckiest moment of your day.

Come on.

I have nothing

but food.

Bananas

Taiwan golden croissants.

Apples.

Gummies.

Popcorns.

Fish snacks.

Wafer rolls.

Peanut mochi.

It's my favorite. I'll keep it for myself.

Eat as much as you can.

Fude.

You are just like Xiao Ding Dang.

Xiao Ding Dang?

That character is now called Doraemon.

No worries. Just eat.

Did you get hurt?

I got some medicine here.

Just sleep here tonight.

Come back and find me

if you have any problems.

I've got your back.

Fude.

Thank you.

It's been too long.

I cannot send him back with my power anymore.

I have to find another way to send him back.

My dream last night kind of makes sense.

If you want to go back,

go try out the place where you woke up.

It should be the key point.

It works in a lot of movies.

That's weird. Nothing happened.

Is it the wrong spot?

God, I'm ready.

Please send me back.

Sir, can you hear me?

Are you feeling unwell?

Please go away.

Don't interrupt me.

Hello? 911?

Someone passed out.

We need an ambulance...

The location is...

Lightning strike!

Lightning strikes.

Lightning strike!

In the movie "Back to the Future",

the doctor makes use of lightning

to send Marty back to 1985.

Perhaps I can send myself back

by the power of lightning?

Wynn Lin, you've been preparing for so long.

You're ready.

You've prepared for 2836 days.

You can do this.

Good luck.

You think I can do it, don't you?

I knew it.

I can definitely do it.

Good luck.

Believe in myself.

Good luck.

Yes.

Sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Wynn Lin, wait.

How do you know my name?

This belongs to you, right?

Yes.

Thank you.

Hello. I'm Johnny Dai.

Hello.

You have a job interview.

Nervous?

Yeah.

I've always wanted to

work in that company since I was little.

Don't be nervous.

My grandma used to say

she saw people hold their breath or avoid her

when she started to sell stinky tofu.

She felt concerned because of that.

But after thinking about it carefully,

it's a proper job,

so why should she be concerned?

So just stand up straight,

and be yourself.

Everything you said I understand.

But it's just that this is extremely important to me.

I have to nail it, I can't fail.

You are pushing yourself too much.

You may end up making more mistakes.

Let me give you a tip.

I promise you will stop feeling nervous.

What?

Give me your hand.

What are you doing?

I'm writing the character for "person" on your palm.

Swallow it

and you won't feel nervous.

You've swallowed the person

who was making you nervous.

And you've changed into a person who will make other people nervous.

Do you have any hobbies?

I like music, traveling and gourmet experiences.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

Excuse me.

Does this have something to do with the position?

It's also a part of the evaluation.

You don't have a girlfriend because...

I spent all my time

on studying.

It's my dream to work in Poseidon Department Store

after I graduated.

I have a huge passion for marketing.

Please have a look at my...

All right.

You got the job.

You'll be on probation for three months.

All right?

No problem.

Thank you.

My classmates said they tend to ask a lot of professional

and difficult questions during the interview.

My interview was way too simple.

Yes.

Poseidon Department Store, here I come.

I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Look ahead of you when walking.

Ok.

Sir, your food is here.

Thanks for the good rating.

You insisted to

have my food delivered after a car accident.

I have to give you a good rating

and make more orders.

Sir, thanks for the help.

I gotta go now.

Well...

You remember what you promised me, right?

Of course, I do.

Let me know

if you need anything.

Help me find a person.

Like Bright Pu's missions on "Super Sunday"?

I've always wanted to give it a go.

Sir, who are you looking for?

My name is Hai-Yi.

Just call me by my name.

Sure. Mr. Hai-Yi.

Give me your private mobile phone number.

I will give you the details later.

My mobile phone was broken.

Just call me through this number.

Ok.

Save my number.

I don't give people my number out easily.

Sure. Noted.

Just call me

when you need anything.

No matter it's food, fruit, grocery,

or even laundry,

I'll deliver anything you need.

You are so enthusiastic.

Of course.

People used to call me an amazing errand runner.

If you need anything, I'm your guy.

I knew you could be helpful.

Thank you.

Mr. Hai-Yi looks so cute when he smiles.

He has charming eyes, too.

I thought you said you gotta go?

Right. I gotta go now.

I travelled all the way to Taiwan from the States

because of my girlfriend, Si-Chi Lu.

She said her deceased grandma showed up in her dream

and said we were not good together,

so she wanted to break up with me.

That's ridiculous.

She has been avoiding me.

Your job

is to find her.

I would like to talk to her in person.

Si-Chi Lu, Tomorrow morning at 2.M, License plate number... great!

Si-Chi Lu, here you are.

Who was it that said they would find her with no issues?

Amazing errand runner.

At least I found her.

She drove an expensive car onto the highway.

I rode a scooter. There's nothing I could do.

Just an excuse.

Don't worry.

I'll make a solid plan

next time.

I won't lose track of her again.

Next time?

How about you quit the delivery job

and focus on helping me?

I travel everywhere as a deliveryman.

I can deliver food while looking for her.

No.

That's not effective. It costs too much time.

Mr. Hai-Yi.

If I quit my delivery job,

how could I

make a living?

Do you think I won't pay you?

You know what?

I pay you twice of the hourly rate.

If I quit my delivery job,

I won't have a mobile phone

I'll buy you a new phone.

I also need several pieces of clothing and shoes.

Why do you need special clothes and shoes to find a person?

I mean... Look at the film "007".

When James Bond goes on a mission,

he always show up with cool gear and a posh car.

All I ask for a few pieces of clothing.

That's reasonable, right?

007, hah!

All right. I'll get you some clothes.

Just make sure you find her.

By the way, I was just kicked out by a bad landlord.

I have to find a new place to stay

before I can start to find her.

It's so hard to find an apartment in Taipei.

I'm not sure...

You are asking a lot.

It's not my fault. I just happen to be unlucky.

Of course, I can take care of the apartment hunting on my own.

I just simply don't want to waste your precious time

because it seems like you don't want to waste your time.

I'll take care of everything.

Happy?

Thank you, Mr. Hai-Yi.

I'll start to find her all day long. I'm on it.

Shall we go for Japanese food?

Sure.

Your treat.

I can't afford it.

You are stingy.

-Wait for me. Why do you say that?

Let's go.

Goodbye, manager.

Wynn Lin.

I just emailed you tomorrow's meeting materials.

Make sure you print them out.

Ok.

Do turn off the lights and lock the doors.

No problem. Goodbye, manager.

Ok.

What's your relationship with Director Liang?

What do you mean?

Director Liang asked me to

take care of you during the interview.

But I don't know the managing director...

Well... you are hardworking.

Good job. Keep going.

Ok. Thank you, manager.

Are you all right?

I'm good.

Sorry.

I didn't know your were

the managing director when I saw you last time.

And I...

I'm so sorry.

You just like to tumble in front of me,

don't you?

No...

I didn't mean it.

Leave these to me.

It's late. Why are you still here?

I've got too much work to do.

I don't think these are your responsibilities.

My colleagues asked me for help.

We all have our own responsibilities

and objectives to acheive.

If you spend your time on their jobs,

what about your own duty?

Will they share the credit with you?

I don't know how to reject them.

Saying no when you need to is not easy.

You need to figure it out.

Pack your stuff and go home now.

No.

I will try to reject them next time.

But because I promised them today,

I have to do it.

I wouldn't have imagined that the first person you would reject,

is me.

Managing director,

the manager said that you specially

requested him to hire me.

May I ask why?

Nothing.

I read your CV and covering letter

and thought you could be a good fit.

I did't pull any strings.

I see. I will do my best.

I won't let you down.

Thank you, managing director.

Go back to work.

Sure.

Wei.

Don't work so hard.

You know what?

My business is booming lately.

I earned 2000 more last week.

Ms. Jin-Hua,

please don't work to hard!

You got knee pain, right?

Because of the 921 earthquake,

there are wall cracks at home.

Our landlord doesn't bother to fit them.

I want to save up more money

so that we can move.

Wait.

We had a deal, didn't we?

I will take care of everything related to the house?

Wei,

Grandma feels very sorry for you.

Your parents passed aways too early,

you shouldn't have to live a tough life with me.

It's not tough at all.

You've made me so happy.

After we get to buy our own apartment,

we don't need to move

anymore.

We will have our own place one day.

Nice. That'll be great.

All right.

Grandma.

I'm trying my best

to survive here.

Take good care of yourself until I go back.

Johnny Dai.

It's really you!

Do you still remember me?

Wynn Lin.

Of course, I do.

How was the job interview?

I got the job.

Thank you for the tip.

I stopped feeling nervous.

Congratulations.

Have you eaten?

I will buy you some stinky tofu

to thank you.

Sure.

Come on.

Do you like it?

It's one of my go-to places.

It's good.

The stinky tofu my grandma makes tastes even better.

Right. Your grandma sells stinky tofu.

Where does she sell it?

I'll be her customer.

Somewhere really far away.

What's wrong?

I miss my grandma.

Go visit her if you miss her.

I can't go back right now.

You've been busy at work, haven't you?

Wait till the next holiday weekend.

Or, make a video call.

You can see her through a video call.

I can't do a video call.

We're not in the right space.

What space?

Anyways, I'm not sure

if I'll ever see my grandma again.

Did you forget how you encouraged me?

Put yourself together.

Stay hopeful.

You can definitely make it.

That's right.

Whenever or wherever it is,

I have to stay invincible, just like a cockroach.

Keep the faith and I can definitely find a way

to see my grandma.

Yes. That's right.

You are a lot luckier

than I am.

Growing up, I'd lived in many orphanages.

I've been an introvert.

That's why I'm always alone.

I never saw any meaning in my life

until I was transferred to Rende Orphanage

and sponsored by Poseidon Department Store.

That's why I've dreamed of working in Poseidon Department Store,

working hard for them.

That's nice.

What's your dream?

My friend hid a key under a flowerpot

at the left side of the gate.

You can live there temporarily.

Do not mess things up.

This place is even better than Xiao Ding Dang's

magic pocket.

They've got everything.

What does Mr. Hai-Yi do for living?

How could he arrange such a nice place?

These books are useful.

Mr. Hai-Yi.

He has such a charming smile.
