(My Boss)

(Episode 15)

(Boss. Why are you so good to me, a mere tool?)

You didn't tell me because you didn't trust me.

You think that, like your ex-supervising lawyer,

I'd choose money over my subordinates' self-esteem, right?

No, boss.

I really don't want to bother you.

Do you know how dangerous your actions are?

He's a man.

If he takes it a step further, can you handle it?

If he snatches your phone and deletes the video,

can you handle it?

If he turns it around and takes indecent video to threaten you,

can you handle it?

Cheng Yao,

you need to learn to trust me.

Don't make decisions on your own.

Anytime you encounter a situation like this,

I will protect you.

Really.

Fine.

Go back and rest.

Tang Bing probably won't come looking for you again.

If you're not comfortable,

I'll go with you to the front desk to change rooms.

Boss, I have a question to ask you.

What is it?

Why are you so good to a mere tool?

Tool? What do you mean?

It's me.

You hired me into Junheng & Co because I can cook and hypnotize, right?

After Chen Qing Mei's case,

you became cold toward me

because you thought I treat you as a tool.

Is this matter important to you?

Since you have so many expectations of me,

I need to figure out my position.

I'm afraid I'll have some stupid ideas in the future.

Forget it.

That night,

I promised to help you take down Deng Ming.

Boss, are you trying to back out now?

If I really saw you as a tool,

I didn't need to promise you anything.

I admit that I have underestimated and misunderstood you before.

But now, you are Cheng Yao,

and you are a very important...

A very important employee to me.

So, never underestimate your importance to me.

Understood?

Understood.

Good.

Also, watch Chinese art history tonight

and report your thoughts to me tomorrow morning.

- New case? - If you've seen something dirty, you should wash your eyes.

Go ahead.

(Ting Ting, the mystery is solved.)

(I'm not just a tool.)

(My boss said I am a very important employee to him.)

(So, he must still care about me.)

(Maybe he sees me as a "protector" like Bao Rui.)

(Maybe my status is a little lower than Bao's.)

(Like a "sect leader".)

(What do you mean?)

(What did Qian Heng do to you again?)

Don't even think about it.

You can't do anything.

If someone harasses you again, just slap him.

His net worth, whether hundreds of millions or billions, doesn't matter.

- But what if I can't beat him? - Tell me, and I'll help you fight.

(It's nothing. I just suddenly realized)

(that I should just stay by my boss's side and work hard)

(to become a top 10 employee.)

(I'm going to study art history.)

Why?

I'm just asking.

Do you only see me as a tool to make money?

Who is this idiot trying to cause trouble here?

How could I be so heartless toward you?

Am I that heartless?

Qian.

Qian.

Are you hurt? Why aren't you talking?

(Hello?)

Will it hurt a lot?

You thought I'd use and discard you without caring?

I understand you must be hurt.

(Tell me. How do you want me to make it up to you?)

Then, you tell me.

How do you want to make it up to me?

Wait a minute.

Why do I feel like the question you're asking today is a bit strange?

Are you really hurt,

or are you trying to trick me?

I am very hurt.

So, how do you think

you can make it up to this employee?

Let me use all my experience to tell you.

With sincerity.

You can figure it out for yourself.

With sincerity?

Cheng Xi.

It's so late. Are you going out?

Yes, my client is in trouble. I'm going to check on him.

Then, let's go. I'll drive you.

No need, I've hailed a cab. The cab has arrived.

- Then, bring the fruit with you. I bought you some... - Wu Jun.

You don't have to give me anything anymore. I won't accept it.

You don't have to be nice to me either.

It's not worth it.

These fruits are all your favorites.

When I give advice to Qian Heng, I'm confident and knowledgeable.

But, when it comes to myself,

I am nothing.

Boss, what do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you.

That's so much food.

I was going to help you take some.

I was bored, so I made a few more trips.

- You eat them all. - All for me?

Then, I won't be able to lose weight again.

You don't have to eat them.

But, I heard that their desserts are made by a five-star chef.

Oh, boss.

You know Sanda, right? Can you teach me some moves?

What do you mean? Do you think I can't protect you?

No.

What I mean is, you can't protect me 24 hours.

Bao said that, as a family lawyer,

it's very likely to be retaliated by the other party.

So, I need to learn some self-defense.

Then, you better not learn.

With your physique, just earn more money and hire a bodyguard.

But, you're so rich. Why do you have to learn it yourself?

I learned Sanda when I was young.

Maybe because I was too outstanding when I was young.

Not only was I good at studying, but I was also skilled in various areas.

So, I was always bullied

and forced to spend a lot of pocket money.

I didn't expect the competition in primary school to be so fierce.

No wonder you have so many childhood traumas.

Yeah, I couldn't handle my counterattack well at the start,

needing to compensate for some medical expenses.

Later, I mastered the skills of

causing internal injuries without any bruises.

I didn't need to compensate anymore.

Boss, so you were already at such a high level when you were a kid.

No wonder your friends didn't want to play with you.

If you can't talk properly, then don't say anything, okay?

I'll eat more.

(Let me use all my experience to tell you.)

(With sincerity.)

(You can figure it out yourself.)

Oh, right.

Didn't we reserve five days for this?

With the contract terminated, we have a few days free.

Do you have any places you want to go or restaurants you want to eat at?

Currently, there's an AI conference happening here.

It might be difficult to reschedule.

Instead of leaving my schedule empty or wasting time at the airport,

why not give it to my employee as a benefit?

The firm will pay the fees in full.

Wouldn't that be too much?

Cheng Yao, being with me is a rare opportunity for self-improvement.

And, to make up for the shock you received yesterday,

I can agree to one more request of yours.

Any request?

- Yes. - Why do I feel a little scared?

I'll count to three.

If you don't say it, it's invalid.

- One, two... - I want to go to an amusement park.

An amusement park?

I heard there's a new one built here. It's so much fun.

They say the roller coaster is thrilling. I want to ride it.

Such a childish place doesn't fit my style.

And, spending a day in such a meaningless place

is like throwing money into the sea.

But, you just said

you would agree to any request I make.

Did I say that? Any evidence?

- (Any request?) - (Yes.)

(Why do I feel a little scared?)

(I'll count to three. If you don't say it, it's invalid.)

- (One, two...) - (I want to go to an amusement park.)

This is legal recorded evidence.

Boss, you told me to learn how to protect my legal rights.

You can't go back on your word.

(It must be the progress of the employee that surprised me.)

(Since she's working so hard, I can be flexible.)

Boss, are you thirsty?

There's another cup here.

No, thank you. You should eat quickly.

- Don't you want to go to the amusement park? - Okay.

As the boss of a law firm that would later win the Golden Scale Award,

it's my responsibility to take care of female employees

in times of trouble.

But, only this time. It won't happen again.

Boss.

I can't find the evidence I recorded of Tang Bing.

My phone wasn't dropped or exposed to water.

Could it be that it was hacked?

I deleted it.

Why did you delete it? What if Tang Bing causes trouble for us later?

I have a backup of the video.

But I don't want you to have any bad memories.

So I deleted it.

But don't worry.

I will never let someone like Tang Bing get away with it.

I also won't let him have a chance to harm other women.

(Cheng Yao.)

(Just indulge this time.)

(Just think of it as a dream where you go on a date)

(with someone you have a crush on in a completely unfamiliar city.)

(After today, you will still be his subordinate.)

(Just a regular employee.)

(He will still be your boss.)

All right, let's eat quickly.

After we finish eating, we'll leave.

I refuse.

Using an air gun is too low-class. If you're interested in playing,

next time I'll take you to the archery range.

Why?

Their prize is a cute lemon mascot.

Look, I want that one.

It's so adorable.

What's so fun about a few lemons?

If you like it, I'll get you as many fresh ones as you'd like.

Boss.

This one is a limited edition. It's hard to find. Look!

Doesn't it look like it deserves a beating?

It does deserve it.

If you don't want to play, I'll go play by myself.

Honey, you're amazing. You hit all of them.

- Not bad. Go pick one that you like. - Okay.

- Here. - Pick one.

- Which one do you like? - I want this one, the big lemon.

This one?

- Here you go. - This one is good.

- Here, take this. - Thank you.

Honey, I want that too.

No problem. Leave it to me.

Give me one too.

Okay.

If you want it, hurry up.

This is the last one.

"Honey, I want it too."

You're so silly. Come on.

Don't you like that big lemon?

Let's go.

Sir.

Here, this is the last one.

- Thank you. - Congratulations, little girl. Your boyfriend is amazing.

He's not my boyfriend. He's my boss.

Give it to me.

But you don't like it.

I won it myself, so it's mine.

What else do you want to play?

How about a roller coaster?

Let's go now. The line shouldn't be too long.

Waiting in line?

(The queue time is around 60 minutes.)

Are you sure you want to wait in line for an hour just to play this thing?

This roller coaster is not an ordinary one.

It says online that when it reaches the highest point,

you can make a wish.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people waiting in line.

What is your wish?

To get rich and have money.

Then, you might as well make a wish with me.

The chances of it coming true might be higher.

You're wasting your time for an unreliable online marketing gimmick.

Is your time not valuable?

No.

It's just that in life, there are many times when we waste time, right?

Who can guarantee we're profiting every minute, every second?

Besides, in life, there are many happy moments like this, doing nothing.

Boss, what about you?

What is the most memorable moment for you?

It's not when you made money, is it?

Boss, if you don't want to wait in line,

you can go to a cafe and wait for me.

I'll come find you later.

No need. I'm already here.

I've already invested in this, so I can't give up halfway.

Let's just wait in line.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Why do I feel a little nervous?

It's not your first time riding a roller coaster.

Why are you so excited?

But, it's been a long time since I've ridden a roller coaster.

Have you thought of a wish?

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

But I'm not telling you.

(I want to keep following Lawyer Qian.)

Okay.

Let's go to the next venue. Don't waste any more time.

You're not really going to throw up, are you?

I swallowed it back.

Boss, I think I pulled my neck.

Let me take you to a place to relax.

Let's go.

It's so beautiful.

Are you feeling better now?

I was too nervous to make a wish just now.

Let's ride it again then.

No need. As long as I'm sincere it's enough.

Is it important? What's your wish?

I've already told you. I want to be rich.

Just some nonsense. Even making a wish is useless.

There's a piano there too.

(My wish is to work with Lawyer Qian forever.)

If I give you a chance to travel,

where would you like to go?

I want to go

to a place close to nature.

To see the sunrise, to see the stars.

It must be very enjoyable.

But, I'm already happy to be at the amusement park this time.

Thank you for accompanying me.

I have an idea.

There are mountains and water there.

The air is fresh, and it's very quiet.

It's much more fun than the amusement park.

- Have you been there before? - Of course, I have.

But when I went there, it was at night.

The sky was full of stars.

I borrowed a telescope from someone

and could even see the Milky Way.

It's been a long time since I last saw a sky full of stars.

There's also a sea of flowers there.

The scenery is so open.

When you walk in,

you feel like time slows down.

The whole place smells of spring.

I won't get bitten by snakes, right?

- Are you afraid of snakes? - Is there anyone who isn't afraid of snakes?

Me.

You are afraid of dogs.

Not anymore.

That's all thanks to me.

Let's go there for our retreat.

Really?

That's great. Then, I'll work hard.

Who knows, maybe I'll have a little romantic encounter.

So you're constantly thinking about these dirty things, huh?

No, I'm just fantasizing.

Okay, go write a 5,000-word self-reflection report when you get back.

Why?

I'm single. Can't I fantasize?

You're only my boss. Do you have the right to control me?

Of course, I do. Because you're important to me.

I need to go to the bathroom.

What did he mean just now?

Does he mean that he's the boss and can control me?

Or...

(I'm important to him?)

(Why bother thinking about it?)

(It's rare to have a chance to have fun with him.)

(I should cherish it.)

(Stop overthinking.)

It's just one day.

Just have a good dream and stick to it.

(Of course, I do. Because you're important to me.)

(It must be my sense of duty as a boss to protect the employees.)

Excuse me, sir.

Can I buy this lemon mascot from you?

This is the last one.

I want to buy it for my girlfriend.

As long as you agree, any amount of money is fine.

- No. - Come on, sir.

Look at how handsome you are.

You must be a kind-hearted person.

- Are you still a student? - Yes.

Are you in college or high school?

I'm repeating a year, still in my senior year.

What was your score on the mock exam?

A little over 300, I didn't pass.

With this score, you won't even be able to go to a college.

And, you're still thinking about dating?

What you need to buy now is not a lemon mascot

but past years' college entrance exam questions and mock exam questions.

But, I really like her.

Youth is so short.

If I don't seize it,

I will definitely regret it.

Failing the college entrance exam

with a high school education may lead to unemployment after graduation.

You won't be able to afford a house, a car, or designer bags.

You won't be able to go to fancy restaurants or buy things.

Besides rolling its eyes at you, what else can this lemon mascot do?

Will she still be with you when the time comes?

Okay, sorry.

Wait a minute.

This voucher is for a buffet dinner for two at the Intercontinental Hotel.

Take it and treat your girlfriend.

Why?

Of course, you have to treat your girlfriend well.

But, you also have to remember to study hard.

Some things can be done together. Do you understand?

Thank you, sir. I will definitely study hard.

But, can't you give me this lemon mascot?

Why can't you understand what I'm saying?

You obviously don't understand girls.

She is already in high school. How could she like such childish things?

Even elementary school students don't like it.

I'll dispose of it later.

Okay, then. Thanks for this.

Go.

Is it too childish?

Sorry, boss.

- There were many people in the bathroom. I was in a queue. - Okay.

What were you doing just now?

It's too dusty outside.

Come with me to the mall later.

Let's find a gift box for it.

- I'll help you carry it. - No need.

Your hands are wet. You'll get the lemon mascot dirty.

(Didn't you say it's childish?)

Have some coffee, boss.

Did you have fun today?

Being able to hang out with you for a day is like a dream come true.

Do you need a massage?

No, thanks.

What about the self-reflection report?

Really?

(As expected, the cost of dreaming is very cruel.)

Do you want to watch me write it?

The computer is over there. 5,000 words.

Not a single word should be missing.

(First of all, I shouldn't be so unambitious and full of dirty thoughts.)

(Second, I shouldn't force my boss to play air guns with me.)

(It seriously affects his image.)

(Third, I shouldn't pressure my boss to eat unhealthy snacks.)

(It harms his health.)

(Fourth, my boss's time is worth a fortune.)

(I shouldn't ask him to accompany me to the aquarium today.)

(It wastes his precious time and life on such meaningless things.)

(It's just that in life, there are many times when we waste time, right?)

(Who can guarantee we're profiting every minute, every second?)

(Besides, there are many happy moments like this, doing nothing.)

(He fell asleep?)

(As expected, my boss is the cutest when he's asleep.)

(No messing around, no sharp tongue.)

(And no forcing me to write a self-reflection report.)

What a coincidence, boss.

- You're awake. - What are you doing? You scared me.

We should head to the airport.

I'll help you pack your luggage.

Bai Xing Meng's case.

We won it.

Really?

Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.

Boss, I think you're so handsome.

You're the messenger of justice.

Enough, stop it.

Although your flattery is true, it's a bit cheesy.

Your last comment was also cheesy.

At least when it comes from my mouth,

it has more substance.

How about I make you a seafood feast

when we land and go back to the rental house?

After all, I'm also good at cooking.

Then, I want scallops.

It's a deal.

Is this box sturdy?

Don't break it.

What's going on with you?

A case worth billions of yuan, and you're just quitting like that?

Nothing, I just don't want to do it anymore.

Be careful.

If you don't have else, go home quickly.

What is this?

- It looks sinister and cunning. - The lemon mascot.

Cheng Yao, tell me the truth.

What happened during these two days?

Why did he abandon this multi-billion case?

- That Tang... - Cheng Yao is just an assistant lawyer.

It was my decision to withdraw from the case.

Do you know that the client has already complained to the Law Association?

The Law Association? That serious?

I remember someone saying that Trust Law is my weakness,

and I need help to improve. Right?

Qian, if you have any problems with me, you can tell me directly.

There's no need for this. Really unnecessary.

- Lawyer Wu... - Tang Bing was not a good person to begin with.

This is the reason I don't do it.

What's wrong with you?

You never used to say that someone is not a good person.

What happened to you? Can you tell me?

Cheng Yao.

Did your boss hit his head on a door, or get hit by a car,

or get cursed by someone?

As his assistant, I feel the need to remind you to keep an eye on him.

That's enough.

The amount for this case is not that big.

I will reimburse you. Hurry back.

Only I can tolerate your bad temper.

I'll handle the Law Association myself.

You always cause me trouble.

Boss, I'm sorry. I caused trouble for you again.

Did you buy the ingredients for tonight's celebration?

Hurry and buy them, or they won't be fresh.

(I caused so much trouble, and now I need him to clean up the mess.)

(What right do I have to celebrate?)

(Cheng Yao, you should think about how to make up for your mistakes.)

(Yao Yao, are you back from your business trip today?)

(I'll treat you to dinner tonight.)

(Hao Zi and I bought a house. You have to come.)

Boss, I'm sorry. My classmate invited me to dinner.

I can't cook for you anymore.

Classmate? Gu Bei Qing?

My former roommate.

Okay.

But after Tang Bing's incident,

you can't let your guard down even if they're your roommates.

Especially when it comes to drinking, you know?

Boss, if you really need me to make up for

the losses of the law firm with another case,

I'm willing to do it.

I'll do my best, and see you at work.

Hello, welcome to Pizza Hut.

Yao Yao,

why so late?

It's hard to ask you out now.

What's going on?

With the special protection of Lawyer Qian,

you're neglecting your friends.

Don't even mention it.

I messed up the case again on this business trip.

Even with Qian Heng, you could still mess up a case?

Wishing you a pleasant meal.

Anyway, the 1 billion deal was gone.

Lawyer Wu even came to question him at the airport.

But, all I heard was,

"hero angers for the sake of a woman."

Don't tease me.

I joined Junheng & Co to be a lawyer, not to fall in love.

They all comforted me, saying I didn't use connections,

but if it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't be their only choice.

I luckily got into Junheng,

but ended up messing up two cases in a short period of time.

Do you think I dare to have any thoughts about my boss?

If I do so, am I even a person?

It's not that serious.

You're so smart and lovely.

After spending so much time together,

he'd surely develop some feelings for you.

Unless he's a robot.

Anyway, I can't keep fantasizing about my boss anymore.

I have to sort out my emotions and work hard.

Okay.

You're a workaholic. You're the best.

I can't argue with you.

Hurry up and eat.

Let me show you the new house I bought.

What do you think?

Three bedrooms, two living rooms, one bathroom. It's so big.

But how come you

never told me about buying a house before? It's an important matter.

You are so busy working that I can't even ask you out.

It's because Hao Zi and I think the baby is about to be born,

so we can't keep renting.

But, you two aren't even married yet.

Who does the house belong to?

Don't worry.

Hao Zi was afraid I would overthink,

so we registered the marriage in advance.

You got married?

- You're married. - Hey, keep your voice down.

Sit down. Look at you.

Are you that surprised?

Isn't this a natural thing?

For the wedding,

we might have to wait until after I give birth.

Although I knew you two would get married sooner or later,

I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

I'm happy for you.

In fact, I also feel that my life has entered a new stage

since registering my marriage.

And, I have also found what I should be doing.

Choosing this place today is also for a good start.

I hope that in every stage of our future,

we can achieve victory.

Definitely.

All the way to victory.

- Senior. - Qian Heng.

Thank you so much.

You saved Yao Yao.

She didn't tell me the details,

but I can guess what happened.

Thank you so much.

Senior, Cheng Yao is my employee.

For both professional and personal reasons, I should protect her.

Don't need to thank me.

No, this is not a small matter.

She's still so young.

I can't even imagine such a thing.

She's my only sister.

You saved her, and it's like you saved our entire family.

- Thanks. - Senior, you really don't have to be polite to me.

I just did what I should've done.

Please sit down first.

I really don't know how to thank you.

If there's anything in the future that you need my help with,

I will definitely not refuse.
