Love Is Sweet

Love Is Sweet

Episode 8

When you were little, you were even

confused about the speech topic.

How dare you bring it up again?

I am sorry.

I forgot to knock on the door.

Mr. Yuan.

Ms. Qiao, I'll go first.

Hello.

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Mr. Du!

Thank you.

Mr. Du, a toast to our cooperation.

Thank you.

Here, to Mr. Du!

Dad.

I wish you good health

and happy birthday!

All right, thank you.

Dad,

happy birthday!

I thought you were not coming.

It seems your sister was thoughtful.

No, dad.

He is very busy lately.

Did I ask you?

Don’t come over if you’re busy.

Why did you force yourself,

if you don’t really mean it?

Hypocrite.

But since you are here,

remember, it’s my birthday dinner.

You may leave now,

if you put on that poker face.

Got it.

Please take care.

I am sorry.

No problem.

Mr. Du.

Is that your daughter?

What a beautiful girl!

Why don’t you introduce her to us?

Linda.

Come here.

Come on.

Let me introduce you to

Mr. and Mrs. Zhai.

Nice to meet you.

This is their son.

Nice to meet you.

This is my daughter Linda.

Linda is so beautiful.

She looks the same age as my son

Linda.

Linda.

Linda!

Mrs. Zhai is talking with you.

I thought you had left.

If I had left like this today,

would you spare me the next time?

Next year,

it will not be just a birthday gift.

I may need to give a talent show before I leave.

You are making a joke.

So it means it’s not too bad.

I know you didn’t want to come at all.

But dad treats you like his own son.

Please be more understanding.

His own son?

Is that so?

I’m just a substitute.

I’ve never treated you like a substitute.

In my heart,

you are who you are.

Really?

25 minutes.

A new record!

Congratulations, Mr. Wan!

Thank you.

In the future, I may need some help of you two,

all right?

Let’s scratch each other’s back.

Sure.

Mr. Wan.

Congratulations, your dream has come true!

The new CEO of Wanxing!

Excuse me,

let’s catch up next time.

OK.

I’d like to introduce myself.

I am Du Lei, Executive Director of

Investment Banking Department at GE.

Like father, like son.

Thank you.

I just took the office at a critical time

thanks to the trust of the company.

I’m just doing my job,

so it’s not my dream has come true.

I picked the wrong words.

After the talent show, Wanxing’s

estimated assets are at the peak now.

And your taking the office

is a very good news for

the IPO.

Mr. Du is such a veteran banker.

You’re very sensitive.

But unfortunately,

when the late Chairman was alive,

MH has been our trusted partner.

So….

I think you misunderstood…

I’m not here for business.

I just want to remind you that

I know Yuan Shuai well.

He can’t be fooled easily.

You are not talking about cooperation,

but giving me some tips.

Then I have to say,

thanks, but no need.

Mr. Wan,

I believe you will come to me soon.

[FamilyMart]

Li,

give me a cup of coffee.

Skip the coffee.

Take this, here.

How do you like my new slippers?

A gift from my Prince Charming.

Nice.

Good for work, leisure,

beach and shower.

Jiang Jun,

what’s wrong?

Is it karma when it comes to Yuan Shuai?

Did I owe him in my last life?

Again!

Did he bully you again?

Let me help you out!

No.

It’s just some misunderstanding

in the office today.

We were studying on a case

when Ms. Qiao broke in.

At that time,

our postures were

a little awkward.

Jiang Jun.

What?

You may have triggered a love triangle.

The typical plot in chick-lit

urban office fiction.

What’s that?

Is she stunning

and bossy?

Does she often go to Yuan Shuai’s office,

and never knock on the door

when she enters?

So, what’s the conclusion?

There is only one truth.

You are doomed.

You may have become a thorn in her side.

So out-dated?

So,

what will be the next?

Give me some clues to get out of this.

Next, she’s going to pull her rank on you,

and

keep an eye on you

until she gets a hold over you.

Then strike out at you

with full force.

Good morning.

Morning.

Good morning, Ms. Qiao.

The difference between a soldier and a bandit

is a sense of ritual.

It means a sense of ritual is important.

It is necessary for working here, too.

Stop showing up in the office in these

tacky IT girl clothes.

IT girl…

Next, she’s going to pull her rank on you

and

keep an eye on you

until she gets a hold over you.

Then

strike out at you with full force.

It can’t be so dramatic.

I’ve read your reports.

Chen Yicheng,

well done.

Thank you, Ms. Qiao.

Chen Yicheng,

Mr. Yuan said your report was quite good.

Can I take a look, please?

You are all at probation period.

This case can help you learn and grow fast.

It can also help us decide who the winner will be,

and who can stay at MH.

Everyone.

You are teammates,

as well as rivals.

Come on!

Thanks.

The wind of freedom blows.

The wind of freedom blows.

The motto of Stanford University,

which translated into Chinese is

finish your work on your own.

It’s not just a cheesy office fiction,

but rather a war fiction now.

The numbers of operational capital are wrong.

Do it again.

OK.

Figure out the rules of quick ratio.

Thank you, Mr. Yuan.

Weirdo.

Redo inventory and total assets turnover.

Yes, Mr. Yuan.

Weirdo.

Come in.

Mr. Yuan, your documents.

OK. Help me with….

Weirdo.

Thanks for your hard work, everyone.

Let’s call it a day.

I’d like to treat you all

a very tasty meal.

Thank you, Mr. Yuan.

Sorry, Mr. Yuan, family emergency.

See you.

Hey, Jiang Jun.

Weirdo.

Is it too much pressure

or autism?

Go to a doctor.

No chitchat at work.

You go see a doctor.

[CRYSTAL PALACE ARTS BOOKSTORE]

[Wanxing Entertainment]

Are you all right?

I am fine.

What happened?

Do you need me to call the police?

No, thank you.

Last time at midnight, we saw a girl

came out of his office.

It was almost 3 o’clock in the morning.

Miss Jiang.

Are you taking the day off today?

I am sorry.

Go ahead, talk later.

I need to apologize for

not telling you I work at GE.

But it’s true I’m a finance guest lecturer.

I didn’t tell you because

I was afraid you might

feel the pressure due to the competition

between our companies.

Of course,

I didn’t tell you the truth.

You should be mad at me.

Mr. Du,

you don’t have to apologize to me.

I didn’t blame on you actually.

If I don’t ask or discuss

about your work,

can we still be friends?

Of course.

Peers are not enemies.

I’m not that petty.

All right.

Bye.

By the way,

I don’t know what it is.

But if you can’t find the answer

from books,

follow your heart.

Thanks.

[Yuan Shuai]

I made egg-fried rice.

Come get it.

I cooked too much.

My dog and I can’t finish.

Come get it.

Why are you hiding from me?

Is it because you have a crush on me,

but you think you’re not good enough,

so you’re playing hard to get now?

Did you grow up with self-hypnosis?

I’ll go home if there’s nothing special.

If you’re really mad at me,

stop drawing on the paper.

Draw on that wall.

Are you crazy? The guards will kill me.

Relax.

I’ve talked to them.

I’ll take the full responsibility.

You’ll take the responsibility?

All right.

I haven’t drawn anything

since 613.

613?

What’s that?

The date we broke

Code 613.

Jiang Jun.

To be honest,

I am thinking

you might not be a banker material.

Any difference between not and might not?

Of course.

I even think

I might be wrong about my conclusion before.

You did a good job.

Others have halos crowning their heads,

but you have a pump with you.

You’re too pumped up.

Have you seen such a handsome pump?

A tail for you.

What did you do? I don’t want a tail.

Look at it, so pretty.

Don’t sheeps have tails?

Two fangs for you.

What? Don’t wolves have fangs?

I…

I’ll bite you.

Go away.

I don’t have fangs.

I’m a cute wolf.

Here you go. More teeth.

Give me five.

Jiang Jun!

You…

You asked for it.

Let me paint on your face.

Stop!

Jiang Jun has been there for over 30 minutes.

Why is she still there?

How badly is she criticized by Mr. Yuan?

If she was criticized,

there should be sounds out there.

But it’s so quiet.

Could it be possible that

Mr. Yuan is teaching her hand over hand?

The thing I told you about Wanxing last time,

the more I think it over, the fishier it seems.

Is it possible they do have problems?

What’s the evidence?

If background investigation

can be done by simple guesses,

what do we need you for?

What’s wrong?

What?

Look at it by yourself.

Seriously? Did you stalk me?

Stalk you?

Are you delusional?

My time is precious.

I don’t have the time or interest to stalk

a green hand who can’t write proper reports.

What did you say to me last time?

Empty apologies and no change in behavior?

No.

We are just normal friends.

Is there any rule about no contact with

people from competing companies?

It should be fine if we don’t talk about work.

There are two possible reasons

why this photo

sent to my phone today.

First,

someone is against Du Lei.

Second,

someone is against you.

Do you think I asked you to keep a distance

just because I don’t like him?

It’s sent to me today.

Tomorrow it could be

sent to Mr. Fan.

How do you explain it

to his face

by then?

I

have said everything I need to say.

It’s your choice who you want to

be friends with.

None of my business.

You may leave now.

Why aren’t you leaving?

I’ve got something for you.

What else to upset me?

Why can’t I find it?

You’re laughing, Yuan Shuai.

Stop being mad at me.

I know you care about me,

but why can’t you be nicer?

Why so serious?

Seriously.

So now you intend to call your boss

by his name in the office?

I’m sorry, Mr. Yuan.

Get out now.

All right.

Go get Shen Xin for me.

Get out!

What are you doing here?

Waiting for Jiang Jun.

She’s been there for over half an hour.

Who knows what they are doing.

I think there was a fit of laughter

just now.

Good morning, Ms. Qiao.

Shen Xin,

Mr. Yuan asked you to go in.

Ms. Qiao,

we’re leaving now.

Ms. Qiao, I’m leaving, too.

Why does Wan Shan have

a resting room in the office.

Why did a girl come out of it at midnight?

The bullied girl was also acting weird.

She was bullied at such a big company.

It’s not like shooting a movie.

How could she live with it?

She did not go to the police either.

It’s like she wants to keep it quiet.

There must be something going on.

If you can’t find the answer from books,

follow your heart.

[Wanxing Entertainment]

Poker Goddess!

What a coincidence!

Are you waiting for someone?

Shall we play another round tonight?

It’s you!

Didn’t get enough failure last time?

But I don’t have time for you today.

I’m a bit busy.

If it wasn’t your boyfriend last time,

we could have more rounds.

My boy...

No, that’s my boss...

My cousin from Shantou.

Your cousin from Shantou.

But you both speak Mandarin quite well.

Are you looking for someone?

Well, when I was here last time,

I lost my bracelet.

I came here to look for it.

It’s a gift from grandma asking my cousin

to bring it to me from far away.

It’s our family heirloom.

I can swipe my card and open the door.

Go look for it.

Can I?

Sure!

Thank you!

No worries.

Go ahead. I have to attend a class now.

See you!

Thanks, bye!

OK, go down!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Now, up!

More strength!

Make it clean!

Come on!

3 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

4 2 3 4

5 6 7

Good!

-Wait! -One more time!

Why did you do this?

Where did you come from, auntie?

It’s none of your business.

Go get a guard to kick her out.

Wait!

Auntie!

Your auntie, I, work for MH as an analyst.

We are helping Wanxing

with its IPO.

If I reported what had happened today,

and that caused the failure of the IPO,

how are you going to be punished?

We were just playing a prank on her.

Right?

Yes, sure.

I planned to stop her from drinking it,

and then you just came in.

Then I…

A prank?

What about a prank on you?

Let’s go.

Here you are.

Thank you.

No problem.

I haven’t introduced myself.

My name is Jiang Jun, an analyst at MH.

Here is my name card.

[Analyst Jiang Jun]

My company is working on

Wanxing’s IPO.

I am responsible for the

background investigation of Wan Shan.

Please don’t be nervous.

I just have a few questions for you.

Trust me.

I won’t say a single word to anyone.

Miss Tang,

how do you describe Wan Shan?

Miss Tang, what’s wrong?

I’m fine.

Honestly,

since I helped you out last time,

I’ve felt there’s obviously something odd.

Why was everyone

quiet about the bully against you?

Then I found

someone with a senior position

is working against you.

And considering your status quo,

I guess this senior officer

is Wan Shan, right?

Miss Tang,

stop holding it back.

If you keep silent now,

then I can’t help you with anything.

But what’s the use of speaking it out.

I can’t take him down.

How do you know if you haven’t tried?

If you keep it quiet,

it may happen to you again.

Chances are it may happen to

other people, too.

What I can assure you is

if it’s proved his wrongdoing

may affect Wanxing’s IPO,

other shareholders will surely

force him to step down.

Not long ago,

I attended the contest of “Come on, sisters”,

I was eliminated.

But right before the repechage,

Wan Shan came to me.

I watched your performance.

It’s a good show,

but lacks popularity among the audience.

So the company decided

to give you another chance.

Con... Contract?

It’s a long contract.

You may look through it tomorrow.

Let’s take it as a celebration beforehand.

As long as you sign on this contract,

you have my word.

I will ask the program crew

to bring you back in the repechage.

Then you can be part of the idol group

selected by the contest.

We will create an image of you as someone

who flips the script and comes back.

We will assign the best stylist for you.

3 years.

In 3 years,

you will be the most popular idol.

My little Tang Xin,

do you get it?

But first,

we need to sign this contract tomorrow.

Besides,

it’s up to you if…

You want to be my sweetheart.

Mr. Wan!

-Why don’t you get it? -Mr. Wan!

Tang Xin...

What’s wrong?

Water... Water...

Water... What’s wrong with the water?

Are you all right?

Tang Xin...

What’s wrong with the water?

Tang Xin...

Tang Xin...

My little sweetheart!

When I woke up,

I found myself disheveled

at a strange place.

The monster Wan Shan was lying next to me.

I ran out when he was sleeping.

I found it’s a secret resting room

in his office.

The monster came to me few times later.

This is my evidence.

Tang Xin,

if you listened to me,

how could you end up like this?

But it’s not too late.

Be my sweetheart and make me happy,

I can still make you a pop star.

How could he?!

I thought he was just

taking advantage of his position

to take bribes from you.

I didn’t expect him to be

such a monster.

Miss Tang,

these are out of my expectation.

But if you would like to believe me,

can you give me a copy of your evidence?

I’ll find a way.

Miss Jiang.

I’m desperate now.

You are my last hope.

I understand.

[Mr. Du]

Miss Jiang.

Mr. Du.

Is anyone running after you?

I feel like being stalked.

Perhaps I’m too sensitive.

It’s too late now.

Why are you wandering alone?

I came for work nearby.

My car is parked not far away.

How about I give you a ride?

OK.

Thank you, Mr. Du.

Sorry to trouble you so many times.

In fact, you can keep calling me teacher.

I can’t share your burden

at work.

But I am older

and I’ve experienced much more

than you have.

Talking about age, I just realized,

you keep in such a good shape.

I didn’t notice before.

You are much older than me.

I’m just used to you calling me teacher.

All right,

I’ll call you teacher.

By the way, teacher,

what are you doing here?

I came to visit a friend on my father’s behalf.

A newly-elected CEO.

A newly-elected CEO.

Wanxing Entertainment?

Yes.

Do you know Wan Shan too?

Not really.

I’m just impressed.

He is so good at making pop stars.

How long have you known each other?

From childhood.

He visited my home sometimes.

Can I ask something about him?

I just thought he is awesome.

And I saw him on a lot of

TV shows now.

Among all the judges,

he is the harshest one.

But he has the sharpest eyes.

Every time, the ones he picked became popular.

Is there any secret?

Why?

Do you want to be a paparazzi?

Just curious.

Which girl isn’t curious about the gossip in

the entertainment industry?

Well, the variety shows,

they are just for fun.

Don’t take them seriously.

The stories behind are complicated.

It seems like you’re really interested

in Wan Shan.

He is my father’s friend,

but I need to warn you.

For pretty girls,

it’s better to stay away from him.

OK.

No more questions.

Thank you, teacher.

See you.

OK.

One more thing,

don’t wander around

at night.

Call me if you need anything.

I’d like to be your driver.

OK.

Good night.

Good night.

What’s this about?

I’ve told you.

Stay away from her.

Then you just came to my building?

If you really care about her,

you’d better watch out.

[FamilyMart]

Why hasn’t he arrived?

Xiaochuan, a seat is kept for you.

When do you plan to come over?

You.

Not planning to collect the money?

I’m sorry.

7 yuan.

How about adding me on WeChat?

I can tip you, all right?

[No tipping, no flirting!]

Mr. Wan, Miss Jiang is here.

Miss Jiang.

Please have a seat.

Mr. Wan, what is it for

to invite me here today?

The reason I invited you here is

a few days ago,

I heard that a little girl, Tang Xin

of our company

talked nonsense to you.

You know,

some times when kids are under pressure,

they imagine things and talk nonsense.

Miss Jiang, I believe a smart person like you,

will not believe the nonsense of a kid.

Mr. Wan, I am flattered to hear that.

But I can’t take the money by any means.

Miss Jiang, this is...

Trust me,

I know what to do.

Need to go now.

It is filmed.

Go destroy Jiang Jun’s phone,

and give her a lesson.

Give me your phone!
