Far Away LoveEpisode 7

Must one really have love? Let me give you an example.

The family situation of your friend, Meng Chu Xia, might have been bad since she was born.

While the money in my bank account is several zeroes long since the day I was born.

This is something that is unchangeable, unreasonable.

Love and wealth are the same. Some people are extremely wealthy

while some are extremely poor.

I am the kind of person who is extremely poor.

Then can I ask what made you like that?

Is it inherent? Or did something happen?

That's not important.

Everyone says there are three things that can't be concealed.

A sneeze, poverty and love.

Actually, there's a fourth, it's... to not love.

Those things I can not fake.

So I can only tell you beforehand. People who can't accept that,

I will definitely not force them to.

In short, I can give everything to my future wife,

everything including a marriage,

except love.

Okay. I understand.

Hello?

Darling, are you at home?

I'm not.

About that... I just got a customer's call. I'm working outside.

You're being disobedient. You haven't gone out for the whole day.

I'm about to come in.

Give me forty minutes to clean up a bit. My house is quite messy.

It's fine, I won't complain.

How about this, you can pretend to be my female secretary today.

Pretend to come clean my room. It's meaningful, right?

What do you mean? I'm tired to the bone everyday.

It's not that easy for me to get a day-off.

I haven't showered or washed my hair, I just want to laze at home.

Can you not always make these sudden attacks?

Fine. Every time you're having fun,

you always say "Never mind, never mind...".

But every time you see me, which time did you not say my hair is oily?

Please, it's not as if this has never happened before.

I'm telling you, it's either you give me forty minutes today or otherwise goodbye.

As my future wife, I will promise her a better life and treat her with politeness.

I'll come home every day, I will also never have another woman.

But I can't give her this so-called love.

Shen's Group

Why is it still not printed now?

I got in big trouble because of you, did you know?

So what if you're acting fast now? Don't think that just because you know the President, you have special rights.

Shen Corporation's points-giving is very harsh and brutal.

The person at the bottom gets sacked.

It's nearly done, it's nearly done.

Why are you getting angry again?

The group leader has already said that it was getting repaired an hour ago.

That's why it was printed late.

Seriously, you...

Chu Xia, I'm sorry. Why didn't you say so?

It's nothing. It wouldn't have been too late to explain after the work was done.

- Really sorry, Chu Xia.- It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

Lets go, lets go.

Chu Xia, deliver this plan book to the President's office.

Can you have another person deliver it?

Another person? Look around, which person here is free.

Take it.

Boss. Can I ask whether the President's office has a length of 3 meters?

What?

Sorry.

Come in.

President, this is the Advertisement Department's newest plan book.

I don't agree. The easiest things can be done even by our competitors.

What I want is something different from the crowd.

T-Then where did the robot over there go?

It's been sold.

So it was him.

Who?

Nothing. This is the newest plan book. Where should I put it for you?

Put it on the desk.

What happened to your face? Why do you have to hide it?

It overreacted to some seafood that I ate recently.

It's a bit swollen. I'm worried it might frighten you.

If there's nothing else, I'm going to leave.

Wait. The blinds are broken and the sun is very bright. Go and block the light for me.

W-what?

What's wrong? It's just a few minutes.

Nothing.

To the left a bit.

A bit more left. Okay, stop, don't move.

Yes.

You come to my office, now!

Come in.

President. You... you--!

Your plan book has been very disappointing.

You didn't understand what I meant at all.

Luxury, enjoyment. Is that restaurant Lontano's aim?

What I want is delicious food. What can I bring to people?

What kind of meaning can a restaurant have in a person's life?

The entire plan must be terminated and started over from scratch.

Also, the invited guest list must be done all over again.

That female celebrity, who was on the news for being sent to the hospital for anorexia,

you actually invited her to come to our restaurant for the rally?

Do we need that drama?

Go back and make the plan again.

I will immediately take it back for improvements.

The one next to the window.

- Yes.- You can get out as well.

Yes.

With Shen Group's status, what big celebrity can we not invite?

Can you get someone more famous? It's called association.

Association. Do you understand? The President is not satisfied with the name of the celebrity.

So, by association, he also became not pleased with the other parts of the proposal.

In the end, the whole project has to be done over.

- I'm sorry.- It seems like you still don't get what I mean.

The main reason the plan got rejected was because of

the incorrect idea. Once the direction is wrong, even if the details are brilliant, it's useless.

The problem isn't with the guests, I'll remind you not to put the focus in the wrong place.

Yes, yes, I understand.

When the Chairwoman controlled Shen Corporation,

she loved luxurious and elitist things.

But I'm different from her. Lontano restaurant is under my purview.

I hope you can seriously understand that. Go.

Meng Chu Xia, stay here.

This time, I didn't stay 3 meters away from you,

you came over by yourself.

Knowing about the plan book's problem, why did you

still withstand the boss's criticisms?

You knew it was me from before?

Who else could it be but you, who would cover their face in my office?

Your face is swollen? Would your director send a person with a swollen face to deliver the plan book?

Then that means... you made me cover the sunlight on purpose too?

Yeah. To people who like to prank,

it's natural to make them suffer a bit.

Back to the problem from before, why didn't you explain yourself

and tell the boss that the plan book's critical problem,

was not created by you?

You think he doesn't understand?

It's only because he wasn't happy after getting told off by you.

Of course, he would want to rant at a person of lower rank.

Whatever. It's nothing to let him rant a bit.

What kind of habit is this?

All you ever say is 'never mind, whatever'. I've observed you for a long time.

You're observing me?!

It's the probationary observation stage.

Ah, understood.

According to your performance, could you be a masochist?

I'm really not. It's just that, explaining to an angry person

will make it easier for arguments to happen.

There's no such thing as a job with no arguments in this world.

What I want are results, not being good to everyone.

You think that he clearly knows the problem with the proposal and is just venting his anger on you.

But if he thinks that he did nothing wrong

and makes another plan that can't be used,

who's going to be responsible for the money and time he wasted?

So in work, you can't just think of him.

You have to think of me, the boss, you got it?

You're right. How could I not think of that?

You're right, I'm sorry.

I don't need your apology. I just hope in the days to come,

you would fight for the things worth fighting for.

In the past, you kept forcing me to apologise. Now you're saying that you don't need it. Seriously...

What did you say?

I said... thank you for buying the robot.

That thing became more artistic after it fell. You won't get it.

You're right, I don't get it.

Fei Fei. Keep sleeping after you take a shower.

I don't want to shower. We'll keep talking tomorrow.

You're awake, darling?

You put this on for me?

Yeah. We haven't played games for so long.

Excuse me, is the flight to Los Angeles about to take off?

What's wrong?

It crashed.

Ruo Nan, you're so busy but you still came to visit me. You're the best.

What's wrong? You're not happy at Shen Corporation?

That's not it. The co-workers are quite nice.

It's just a bit stressful. Shen Corporation has a point-marking policy,

it's especially strict. Everyone works as if they're fighting a brutal war.

Is it like that in big companies?

Moreover, Shen An is a person

who puts his everything into his work.

So of course, he demands more from his workers.

Now you're starting to stand up for him, is that it?

When did I?

Be careful of what you say later. Shen An is about to arrive.

- Why didn't you tell me before?- What's wrong?

- I'm going to leave first.- What's going on with you?

He's not going to eat you.

You don't know this, President Shen made a rule

that I must hide from him in the company

and I can't get closer to him than 3 meters. He said he becomes unlucky when he sees me.

No way!

It's true.

That only shows that he suffered too much from you.

Alright, just stay here. He's going to leave after a short visit.

I have a present for him.

Present? Do you have to be so sweet? What present?

Take a guess.

Over here.

Take a seat.

You said you have something for me?

I baked it myself. Almond cookies, it's for you.

Ruo Nan, you've got great crafting skills.

Thank you.

Don't you still have work later?

Chu Xia and I have just about finished chatting.

How about we meet another day?

I didn't think you would look that shy in front of President Shen.

When we're together,

we always don't know what to say.

What's wrong, Chu Xia?

When I first arrived, didn't I have a document folder with me?

I think so.

You must have left it in that restaurant. I'll go and get it back with you.

No need. Don't you still have work in the afternoon? It's nearly time.

No one will steal my stuff, don't worry.

- Call me.- Okay.

- I'm going, bye bye.-Bye bye.

Okay, I know. Also,

about the plan book... I need to see it as soon as possible.

How are things going on your side?

I'm going to hang up.

Fortunately, they haven't thrown it out yet.

I would still come back for unimportant research material.

But some people would throw away a present made especially by another person.

You're great at insinuations now.

But you're totally different in the office.

Because this involves Ruo Nan, tell me why.

When I was very young,

my mum was busy with work and was outside everyday.

She always forgot to leave meals for me.

Also that time, we lived in a run-down area in America,

so she would lock me in the house.

In the end, one day, I got too hungry but there was nothing in the house to eat.

There was only a pack of expired almond powder.

So I made a concentrated cup with it,

and drunk all of it in one go.

It tasted bad?

It's something not any mortal word could describe.

In the end I vomited. I nearly died because of food poisoning.

After that, I don't eat anything with almonds.

Understood. But why didn't you tell Ruo Nan?

Troublesome. After I say it, she'll say something to apologize.

Both of us would become uncomfortable.

But... isn't being in love about communication, so that both people understand more about each other?

Moreover, something this small can be solved in a few minutes.

Are you still unwilling to say it even so?

Many little things don't need to be explained.

Ruo Nan is sincere towards you.

What about you to her?

The tea I'm making for you right now is my favorite.

Yun Nan Black Tea. The most important thing about this tea,

is its temperature, because this tea

can only be made with approximately 85°F water.

If you drink it this way, the texture will be better.

It won't be that rough.

Here, have a taste.

I never thought that Ms. Ding is quite knowledgeable in tea art.

Not really. I just know a thing or two.

In business, you want to work with a fellow enthusiast.

Okay then. Tomorrow, have someone bring the contract to our company.

Okay. Here.

- Please. - Thank you.

Timing and subtitles brought to you byThe Match made in Heaven Team @ Viki

Why are you so passionate today?

Didn't you say that life must be full of freshness and surprise?

I also prepared a surprise for you.

Stay here and wait for me first. I'll just go and have a change of clothes.

What role?

You guess.

What? Do you like the surprise I prepared for you?

You... what do you mean by this?

What?

Could it be you're not looking forward to how I look wearing a wedding gown?

Fei Fei, I'm not ready yet.

Couldn't we be just like we were before?

Why must we use this boorish stuff to chain our love?

I think we must cool down for a little while.

Let's just talk again once you're ready to accept it.

Fei Fei, I can give you anything except marriage.

Bye bye.

I won't be giving you anything anymore.

Fei Fei, drink some.

How about you have one whole bottle by yourself?

I'm not afraid.

Today, I'll treat you guys. Just eat. Be happy.

Thank you, Young Boss.

What happened today? Why are you guys so happy?

The real Young Boss is here.

Wrong. His business is most likely his own.

He should be... Master Boss.

Fei Fei, bully and trample me as much as you like.

When you're feeling well, howling wind and torrential rains are like a kiss from a goddess.

Hurry and give me a trash can! I want to throw up!

Er Peng, every time Fei Fei breaks up, you treat us.

If you keep doing that, can this small shop of yours take it?

Hey, Classmate Meng, even though you're talking about Er Peng with those words,

how come I feel like I'm being shot at?

You sensed it?

Really? She had a break up again?

Senior Teddy, you'll get used to it as time goes by.

Fei Fei, I don't get it.

How did you know that the fake-forcing-marriage trick would work against Zhou Man?

What if he decided to marry you and not break up with you when he saw you wearing a wedding dress,

then... you'd really marry him?

To people like him who treat love as some exciting game and changes it non-stop,

then marriage has to definitely be his Achilles' heel.

Then what if he really was different from the others, what would you do?

Enough already, you two reporters.

If a man really wants your relationship to progress to marriage,

he will definitely want to meet your friends,

talk about your family, and also, tell you his life plan.

If there's none of these, then it's a yellow alarm.

If you intentionally mention it to him, but he even intentionally avoids it,

that's a red alarm. Everyone must prepare to retreat.

Fei Fei, you said it so right.

My life plan is all about you.

To prove this, I even especially bought you a gift.

You couldn't have prepared some ring to give me, right?

Our company's newest product. Limited supply, only for you.

- What is this?!- Don't, don't, don't!

What kind of material is this? It's quite comfortable.

Chu Xia.

In the end, it's still a break-up. She's really not upset?

What kind of person is Fei Fei?

Didn't you also say it? She's a female general.

Don't worry.

Er Peng, let me pay for today's meal.

Don't be polite.

Chu Xia successfully got hired today, let me pay for this meal at least.

Then, thank you.

Enough, stop being playful.

But since you're Master Boss,

shouldn't you treat our Meng Chu Xia to a big private meal?!

No, everyone was just looking for a reason to get together.

There's no need for us to celebrate something so small.

It's not early, let's all go back.

Senior Teddy,

although Meng Chu Xia's house is quite near, but it's still pretty dangerous for her to walk home alone.

Do I need to be reminded of that?

Chu Xia, I'll go with you.

There's no need. Ruo Nan's car is parked near my place. It'll be fine if we walk back.

We're going, bye bye. Bye bye.

Don't go! I'm not done yet!

Say it another day!

Then I'll go and pay the check. You guys keep chatting for now.

No matter, let Chu Xia have her way. Don't force her.

Senior Teddy, through these few experiences I've observed,

I think you are the kind of gentleman who is especially gentle.

- What? Is that not good?- It's good!

You don't even know how many girls wish for their boyfriends to follow your way.

Actually, I haven't thought about it that much.

I always thought that Chu Xia must have gone through a lot of trouble while bringing Meng Xiang up.

If I can give her even little bits of warmth and freedom,

I already feel really happy.

Not bad. Good luck, I'm supporting you.

Thank you.

Fei Fei will yell at me to death.

I don't want you guys to succeed. If this continues,

I won't be able to be friends with Senior.

Ruo Nan, the few points that Fei Fei mentioned,

about men and marriage,

is President Shen like that?

Yes. He... he's really looking forward to a stable marriage.

That... are you planning to marry him?

Yes.

Actually... I think you two haven't known each other for long,

about something big like marriage, it's better to think carefully first.

Although President Shen's background is good from every angle,

you're also very superior.

Chu Xia, do you have something you want to say to me?

I...

I...

When you asked about Shen An's feelings for me, he didn't reply.

So you're worried about me, is that it?

Yes.

I know I shouldn't tell you about things like this.

I found out my best friend's boyfriend's other side, is unknown to everyone else.

Whether I should tell my best friend is the most difficult question.

Moreover... usually, people would choose not to say it.

Chu Xia, I'm very happy that you told me.

In the past, when we were still students,

economic capabilities,

family positions, our lives were very bland.

At that time, we had nothing we couldn't say to each other.

After graduation, sometimes I don't take careful notice of things.

And give a lot of pressure to you, Fei Fei and Er Peng.

Ruo Nan.

But you were still willing to think of me.

You never think whether or not you'll be misunderstood by others.

I'm very happy.

This is the loyalty between friends.

Similarly, there should be loyalty between a girl and a boy.

This, Shen An does well.

He chose to be silent.

What do you mean about that?

He told me early on,

to him,

love was never a necessity.

He only wanted to find a suitable wife,

to make a family.

Allowing him to be a more reliable and believable merchant.

You mean... he sees marriage as a decoration?

If the conditions are right,

he said, it would the same whoever he marries.

Ruo nan, even this way, can you accept it?

Why can't I accept it?

Although he can't give me love, he's willing to stay with me.

To be able to live your life with the person you love the most,

isn't that the biggest happiness? Does he need to love you as well?

But Rou Nan,

Can you be happy if you love someone who doesn't love you?

I can.

These are the notes on the last subject.

How was it?

It wasn't too bad. There's a special teacher, it's worth it.

Yao Yao, I have the notes on the last subject, do you want them?

Yes, I want it all.

Who are you talking to?

- Yao Yao.- I'm over here.

You are exchanging notes in here.

These are the last subject's notes.

Don't tell the group that's why I gave them to you because a lot of people asked me for it.

I know!

Xiao Mei asked a question in group, do you have the answer yet?

My tutor said

she over did her answer.

Meng Xiang, come join our group, it's fun.

I forgot you don't have a smart phone and yours doesn't have the features.

- Stop saying that. - I'm just thinking of him.

We have a lot of homework, and it takes time to type on the computer,

but if you use the speakerphone, it can save you a lot of time. Your phone is too old.

Tell your family to change it to a new one.

But you need to ask your father, because your mom maybe doesn't know anything about digital phones.

That's enough!

Meng Xiang, I really forgot.

But my mom said since your mom had you when she was so young,

it'd be easy to find you a step-father.

Ruo Nan,

Why do you always come to see me?

You and CEO are already settled.

Your parents shouldn't be arranging any blind dates for you any more.

They didn't .

But they keep asking me about the progress of Shen An and I.

So annoying.

Your Shen CEO again?

How did you know?

Please! You even stopped the car!

Look at the expression on your face, who else can be?

I want to know more about him,

so I asked him if we could chat even if we don't see each other.

He said okay.

As you know, Shen Group is always very busy.

It's so difficult waiting for his answer.

Rou Nan,

don't you feel tired?

Based on the promise between him and me,

as far as him wanting to chat with me, that is already a big gift for me.

I'm more happy than anything else.

Moreover,

I opened the chatting account for him,

but he only has me in the friend group.

Meng Xiang, you are home.

Wash your hands, it's dinner time.

Meng Xiang！

What happened to your face, who did this to you?

Nobody.

Then you got into a fight.

With who? Classmates, right?

Don't ask me anymore!

What are you saying? Look your face !

Calm down, calm down!

If he doesn't want to say it , then he must have a reason, right?

I asked him and I have my reason too. I'm his mother.

I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat.

Meng Xiang!

Don't go in there, let me ask him for you.

Yes,

he listens to you, you can find out what happened.

Oh, right.

I'm going there to talk with him while we eat.

You calm down and eat too!

My phone is ringing, can you take a look for me?

Who is it?

CEO.

Looks like he has time today.

This is a good chance.

Let me go ask him.

No! l have a good idea.

You continue talking with Shen An for me, Okay?

How can I talk to him?

Why can't you talk to him?

Open the chatting record and take a look.

I just want know him more.

I always ask him one question at a time,

then he answers whatever I asked him.

Looks like a talk show.

So, you will be the host of this talk show today.

You can help me to understand him more.

After I come out, I'll just look the answers, that's it.

I help you, and you help me, it's fair.

Hurry , hurry.

Don't miss the chance.

What color do you like?

Black, white and gray.

What kind of sports do you like?

Basketball and surfing.

Which singer do you like?

What is this?

A Survey?!

She asked all this, what else can ask?

Which writer do you admire ?

That was fast!

Looks like you really have time today.

My grandpa's old friend Uncle Yuan.

My grandpa's old friend Uncle Yuan.

Why do you admire him?

His article was very free spirited, same as his personality,

the story with his lifetime partner Auntie Yan, was well spread around.

I think I know which Uncle Yuan you're talking about.

His novel,

was one that Chu Xia and I loved to read when we were in college..

Everybody says

although he never married Miss Yan, until he passed away,

they were real soul mates.

But I think Miss Yan maybe expected a wedding.

How do you know?

She mentioned a Swedish wedding in some of her prose.

It wasn't very long,

but it had the feeling of restraining herself not to imagine a fantasy.

I felt sad to read that.

That's your misunderstanding. She wasn't that secular.

So self-centered.

No wonder he is telling Rou Nan about his marriage theory.

I respect your Uncle Yuan,

but if we talk about affection objectively,

nobody can promise it won't become emotional stress.

What do you mean?

Because someone loves you,

they will be living your lifestyle by force.

There is not a single man and woman who are the same.

Of course,

within each common pair like us, there's an uncommon aspect.

Even the detached person might also have the desire for worldly things.

This isn't shameful.

Maybe, she had the feeling that nobody understood.
