All language subtitles for My Boss ep 31 [VIU]

(My Boss)

(Episode 31: Must I leave Junheng & Co)

(before my ability can be proven?)

Happy 100th-day anniversary.

Why are you still here?

I thought you already left.

I rushed back home just now.

I thought I didn't make it in time when I didn't see your baggage.

Luckily, you're still here.

Were you drenched when you were coming back? It was raining just now.

I'm fine.

Okay. Everything's fine now.

Everything's fine.

I kept my baggage in the trunk.

But what about your flight?

I delayed it.

I'm flying tomorrow. I already promised you

that we were going to celebrate it together.

You're so nice.

- Thank you. - Okay now.

Stop crying, okay?

I have a present for you.

How did you know that I desired this?

After you told me about it,

I bribed Tan Ying as her boss.

I thought of buying this when you sent it to her.

But didn't you say

wearing a couple necklace wasn't classy at all?

Silly girl.

You chose it, you know?

Come, let me put it on for you.

Come.

- Do you like it? - I do.

It looks nice.

That was ticklish.

Is anyone in there?

If not, I'll go in now.

(I left as I was taking an early flight.)

(I didn't wake you up since you were sound asleep.)

(And, this is the true present I prepared for you.)

(The netizens said I should buy luxury items for you.)

(But I think I'm more precious than any luxury items out there.)

(He can keep you company when I'm not around.)

Idiot.

(Be nicer to me.)

(Take good care of yourself when I'm not around.)

(Don't worry about me. Take good care of yourself too.)

(Look after Cheng Yao when I'm not around.)

(Don't worry. I know what to do.)

(After all, you have the goods on Yu Fei.)

Senior, aren't you supposed to be above the Asian-European continent now?

What's wrong? Was the flight delayed?

Lawyer Liang,

I think the law firm has taken on enough cases for now.

When I'm not around,

I hope you can give Cheng Yao a chance to polish her skills.

I thought something happened to the law firm.

So, it's just this, huh?

You never forget about your girlfriend even when you're on a business trip.

You're indeed different from your college days.

Not only is Cheng Yao my girlfriend,

but she's also an outstanding employee that I've nurtured.

I don't want her to receive any special treatments

because of my relationship with her.

(I believe in her ability. She won't disappoint you.)

Don't worry. This is your first time making such an official request.

I'll definitely keep it in mind.

(By the way, Senior,)

I have a personal favor to ask of you.

Go ahead.

It does sound embarrassing.

There's a new lipstick model that's only available overseas.

(Can you buy it for me when you come back?)

No problem.

I'll leave Cheng Yao to you, then.

Okay. Don't worry.

Hello, Mr. Qian.

Your flight will depart soon.

Please follow me.

Okay.

Didn't I tell you this before?

You must filter the cases you take on.

Elderly divorce cases like these are troublesome and unprofitable.

Tell Mr. Li

that I cannot take on this case.

Lawyer Liang.

Have you verified the client's details?

The registered capital, shareholder structure, and actual controllers

of the companies under the client's name

had been verified with

the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System

and a third-party query terminal.

Everything is fine.

You even prepared the evidence material for the second instance court?

These are the printed copies.

I already uploaded the e-copy.

I've made an appointment with the judge

to proceed with the exchange of evidence tomorrow.

You did a precise and thorough job.

Before this, I made you an assistant

to know more about your personality and ability.

Second, I wanted to train your patience.

Third,

as everyone knows about your relationship with Qian Heng,

the others will not be convinced of your ability

if you handle a major case alone after joining my team.

However, you've done a great job all this while.

It's time for you to be independent.

I have a divorce case on my hands.

The amount is around five million yuan, which is not a lot.

However, the client is a local elderly.

If you do a good job with the elderly's case,

you'll receive banners easily.

No problem.

Thank you, Lawyer Liang. I'll do my best.

I started out taking on these kinds of cases too.

Do your best. Find me if you have any questions.

Lawyer Liang, didn't you say

you wanted to return the case to Mr. Li?

Lawyer Qian said before

that Cheng Yao is a lawyer with extraordinary working capabilities.

We must have confidence in her.

Okay.

Hello, is this Wu Jie's house?

You must be from the law firm.

Come in.

Bring that box inside for me.

Here.

All the valuable items are in here.

Lawyer Zhang, look at this.

It's Hai-O.

Jot it down for me.

No problem.

Madam, I'm Lawyer Cheng.

It doesn't matter.

It was expensive when I bought this back then.

And this.

This was the most expensive radio back then.

I think it was over 200 yuan.

- Jot it down. - Okay.

There's an old phone.

And the 555 desk clock.

Jot all of them down.

Regarding this...

Although we didn't spend money on this photo,

it was because the photographer was my friend.

After that, I gave him a hen.

Nowadays, I think an old hen

costs over 100 yuan.

I'll count it as 100 yuan. Jot it down.

Oh yeah, and the two pots of orchids.

That old fool bought them

in an international orchid conference.

It was so expensive.

I told him not to buy it, but he bought it anyway.

If he takes them away from me,

I'll deduct the price. Jot it down.

No problem.

Madam Wu,

should we go to a cafe or something?

I bought this TV

with vouchers back then.

Jot it down.

I mustn't let that old fool earn an extra cent from me.

No problem. I'll do my best to fight for your interest.

One Americano. Thank you.

Give me a cup of rose latte without sugar.

I want a caramel mousse.

An Oreo and banana waffle,

and a tiramisu.

Yes, a tiramisu.

Give me mashed potatoes with ham.

And a yogurt pudding. I love puddings.

Give me a yogurt pudding.

And a strawberry mango mousse.

Lawyer Cheng,

treating your clients to coffee is considered a business meal, right?

You can be reimbursed for it, right?

That's right.

You should've told me earlier.

I saw that you guys were selling classic gift boxes out there.

Am I right? I want two boxes.

I'll take them when I'm leaving.

All right. Please wait a moment.

Actually, a meal like this

is nothing to your law firm, right?

After all, you guys charge a lot for your services.

Cheng,

you know about the condition of my family too.

After I get a divorce,

I won't have much left.

So,

I wish to discuss this with you.

Can you do a kind deed

and reduce my attorney fee?

Madam, attorney fees are determined

based on the government's guidance and market regulation.

We follow a strict two-way rule.

I cannot decide that myself.

Moreover, your fee is already the lowest among all of our divorce cases.

Stop your useless chatter.

It's just a lawsuit.

What do you mean by a two-way rule?

Young lawyers like you guys have it easy.

You guys make a lot of money by just talking.

Madam, your so-called "talking"

requires a lot of time and professional experience too.

Cheng,

what about this?

I'll help get you a boyfriend.

I know a lot of people.

Some of them have a great family background.

I'll get you a boyfriend

while you reduce my attorney fee.

We'll be even, then. It's your gain.

Madam, let's do the inventory count.

After all, the time you spend chatting with me

is included in the consultation time.

This doesn't make sense at all.

If so, I'll have to complain about you.

You guys charge us money for everything you do.

Even the time we eat and walk.

You're charging me for that?

That doesn't make sense at all.

What about this?

Let's treat our coffee time and travel time as 20 minutes.

Do you think that's okay?

Do you think 20 minutes are enough?

It took at least 30 minutes, you know?

All right.

Here. It's time for afternoon tea.

Have something sweet.

No matter how busy you are, you have to rest somehow.

I thought you liked fruit-flavored desserts.

Why did you buy chocolate-flavored ones?

I bought it with my points.

Only your favorite flavor was available.

Is there anything you cannot finish?

You can leave them to me. I'm free today.

Qian Heng told you to look after me, right?

He's holding Yu Fei hostage now.

I'm doing this so that Yu Fei won't be bullied.

It's a fair trade.

I never expected you to bow down because of a man.

I have to devote myself to the relationship somehow.

What about you? Where did you get all this evidence?

I thought you were dealing with a tycoon's divorce case.

Two toilet brushes, 13 yuan 60 cents.

There's worse. Two screw caps for 80 cents.

You gave up on so many profitable trust cases

just to deal with an old lady's divorce case?

Lawyer Qian will definitely be furious if he finds out.

It's not that bad.

If we take on local cases,

it can help our firm to win the Golden Scale Award.

This is more than just local. It's more like a mess.

Aren't you afraid that you might fear marriage after taking on such cases?

Many tycoon divorce cases end up as a mess.

I do think that if both parties

understand each other in a marriage,

they can clean the mess up together.

However, if one of them wishes to communicate

while the other wishes to idle around,

that will be the end of their marriage.

All right.

Now, I think Lawyer Qian is lucky

to get a philosophical girlfriend like you.

All right, philosopher.

These two feather dusters cost 7 yuan 90 cents.

Jot them down.

Call me if you need anything. Remember to have them.

Thanks.

Mr. Qian. It's been a great pleasure

working with you and your team.

We appreciate your professionalism.

It improved our efficiency tremendously.

You're welcome.

As you all know, efficiency is my principle.

And, could you tell me where is the nearest coastline?

(Yao Yao, are you still working in the firm?)

Didn't Tan Ying tell you that already?

(I heard that you took on a troublesome divorce case lately.)

(How was it?)

Why is your smile still in my mind even when you're not around?

Do you really think I'm a kid?

Don't worry.

I'm a super lawyer who endured your torture.

I can deal with all kinds of clients no matter how troublesome they are.

(All right.)

(You always said that you wanted to admire the sea view abroad)

(but you didn't have the chance, right?)

(Look.)

(My colleagues over here said the sea view in Southern France was amazing.)

(That's why I came here to take a look.)

I thought you went to Switzerland for the business trip.

Did you drive all the way to Southern France?

How long did you drive?

Don't you need to rest after working?

(Our case ended early.)

(I told you that all my time was meant for you except for working hours.)

Point the camera at yourself.

All right, I'm going to work now.

Let's admire the sea view together next time if we have the chance.

(Okay. Goodbye.)

(Liang Yi Ran)

You did great with the documents.

By the way, I heard

that this client of ours was hard to deal with.

I hope there wasn't any conflict between you two.

Lawyer Wu said we must be empathetic to our clients,

especially those going through a divorce.

All right, you can resume your work.

I'll notify you if there's anything.

Zhang,

check it for her again.

After all, she's inexperienced.

I don't want anything to go wrong.

Lawyer Liang, that's unnecessary. I've already checked it twice.

It's my first time seeing such a comprehensive evidence list.

You do give Cheng Yao a high rating, huh?

She's always been serious at work.

It's no wonder Lawyer Qian admires her.

Lawyer Liang, there's a case I can't handle. Why don't I pass it to her?

Don't try to shift your work to someone else.

Such a lazy display of work ethic shouldn't appear on my team.

Go back.

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.

(Lawyer Liang, how's the progress of Cheng Yao's case?)

(She's doing great. Lawyer Qian, you were right about her indeed.)

(Thank you. I knew it.)

(She's special indeed.)

She's just a normal law student who didn't graduate from a famous college.

What's so special about her?

Where did it go?

Could it be that you left it at home?

Impossible. I never took it with me.

I kept all the evidence in this drawer.

You're just good for display, huh? You can't even keep a stack of IOUs.

Shut up if you're not helping.

Aren't you afraid that you'll receive karma for gloating on her misery?

Did someone take it?

But only those with access cards can gain access to our floor.

And, we need to scan our thumbprint before coming in.

Is there a spy? Should we retrieve the surveillance camera footage?

There's no time.

The trial will begin soon.

What kind of lawyer are you?

So what if you're pretty?

You're so bad at your job.

You just look good on the surface!

How dare you lose such important evidence of mine?

Your head must be filled with crap.

I'm sorry, Madam Wu.

This was indeed my negligence.

But calm down.

I can help you obtain the 100,000 yuan

even if we don't have the original document.

With what?

You already lost the IOU. How can you fight for it now?

Madam Wu, photocopied evidence can be used as corroborative evidence too.

What are you saying?

Don't try to fool me with those fancy terms.

Do you think I don't know what you're up to?

Listen, if I lose the 100,000 yuan,

if the court doesn't award it to me,

you have to compensate me for it.

No problem.

If you lose 100,000 yuan because of that,

I'll compensate you myself.

- But Cheng Yao... - Why should I trust you?

What about this? Madam Wu, I'll write a letter of commitment.

If you lose 100,000 yuan because I lost the original document,

I, Cheng Yao, will pay you, Madam Wu Jie, personally.

Is that okay?

It's fine.

Lawyers are humans too.

It's normal for one to underperform sometimes.

She's your junior at Junheng & Co, right?

Madam Wu, take a look.

This is the copy.

You can sign immediately if you have no issue with it.

Let me say this first.

If the court doesn't award me the 100,000 yuan,

I'll get the money from you on that very day.

No problem.

I'll give you the full sum.

It's still early anyway.

Why don't we go and take a walk?

Let's go. Maybe you'll get into the zone by then.

Let's go.

Wu Jie's attorney is making a claim that the defendant

wrote a 100,000 yuan IOU to his wife before he got married.

The defendant and his attorney, do you guys

have anything to say about the dispute in question?

As it happened many years ago,

my client cannot remember the details.

Please tell the other party to show us the original document.

Your Honor, I'm sorry.

We lost the original document.

Madam, it's fine.

We have plenty of evidence.

Your Honor,

I didn't borrow that sum from her.

I've never signed any IOU as well.

I didn't owe her any money.

You old fool!

You wish to welch on your debt now?

You're full of crap!

My family was richer than yours before we got married.

Do you know that you only made money

after you married into our family?

Silence!

Do you know how much of my money you spent?

You want to welch your debt? No way in hell!

You're not allowed to speak without permission!

- Plaintiff, return to your seat! - Madam!

Don't touch me!

Your junior is truly unlucky to get a client like her.

Why are you dragging me? I'm innocent!

She's such a drag.

Why are you guys arresting me?

Comrade, please calm down.

Sorry about that.

I'm innocent!

Madam Wu, calm down.

How can I calm down?

There are rules you must obey in the court.

Going against them won't help you resolve your issues.

The trial has begun.

If we stop now, it'll be detrimental to us.

It's all because of you.

You lost my main piece of evidence!

But we still have other pieces of evidence.

I organized the evidence myself.

I know each of them very well.

The trial has begun.

I'm sure you don't want to lose to your ex-husband, right?

I can't take back my money now!

That scum!

Your Honor, my client has calmed down.

We're ready.

We've submitted a copy of the original IOU. Please take a look.

We think that your evidence was forged.

It lacks legal validity.

This is the plaintiff's bank transaction record.

The cash flow, time, amount, and recipient of the record

match the information on the IOU copy.

That's Wu Jie returning the money she borrowed from my client.

She didn't lend the money to him.

We've confirmed the proof of borrowing for the loan.

Since you're making a claim

that the plaintiff was the one returning the money to the defendant,

please show us proof of the transaction.

He gave her cash back then.

It was 100,000 yuan in cash.

Your Honor, his attorney only expresses a verbal statement

without showing any substantial proof.

However, our evidence copy

and the various confirmations have formed a strong evidence chain.

It proves that the defendant borrowed 100,000 yuan

from the plaintiff before their marriage.

Plaintiff, please submit the original evidence

to the court.

Court is adjourned for now.

The collegiate bench will proceed with the panel discussion.

The trial will be resumed.

Regarding the claim that the plaintiff had made toward the defendant

related to the 100,000 yuan IOU before marriage,

the plaintiff submitted a copy of the original evidence

and its bank transaction record.

Both pieces of evidence confirm the validity of the claim.

And, the transaction happened before the marriage.

We will acknowledge the claim.

The verdict is as below.

Your junior is pretty good.

Don't you know who her mentor is?

Madam Wu, we won.

It's all because I kept the bank transaction records.

If not,

I won't get back the 100,000 yuan.

I can only depend on myself during crucial moments.

Attorneys like you all are practically useless.

I'm sorry. This time, it was my negligence.

Enough.

I need to go back and pack my things.

These are the receipts for the rides I took.

I asked the cab driver for a few more.

The law firm will get reimbursed for this, right?

Submit it to your law firm for me.

I'll give you the receipts for my ride home later.

Include them for me.

No problem.

Don't forget to give me the money.

Cheng Yao,

you shouldn't allow someone like her to get her way.

It's fine. I live nearby.

I can't finish my reimbursement quota anyway.

You can go and meet your client. I'll take a break.

Congratulations, Lawyer Cheng.

Cheng Yao.

- Yao Yao. - Senior, Lawyer Li.

You must be exhausted. Have a drink.

Thanks. How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you.

Don't mention money in front of me.

It reminds me of Qian Heng.

Bei Qing won quite a few cases before this.

He was doing great

until he encountered Qian Heng.

He never won a case against him.

I think any lawyer who encounters him is unlucky.

It's not just me.

It's the same for Cheng Yao.

The evidence vanished for no apparent reason.

And, the client was so troublesome to deal with.

The vanishing evidence has nothing to do with Qian Heng.

It was my own negligence.

- Maybe... - Maybe you're not meant to be a lawyer?

Listen, you're meant to be a lawyer.

Qian Heng likes to deny other people's achievements.

Due to that, the people around him will think that they're incompetent.

I'm different from Qian Heng.

I think you did great in that case.

You were calm and collected. You have a bright future ahead of you.

If you had enough of Qian Heng, you can join Jincheng & Co.

Although we don't earn as much as Junheng & Co,

our founding partners are definitely friendlier.

You should consider it too. Maybe you can do better here.

(Li Cheng Xuan)

Li Cheng Xuan? Did you encounter him this afternoon?

It's no wonder he kept praising in the sector's group chat.

He said your case was the calmest counterattack

he has ever witnessed.

You're exaggerating it.

It's just a minor case.

Wu Jie's a client that you'll only encounter once in a lifetime.

You think this is a minor case?

All right. At least we won't need to see her again.

What about this? I'll organize a gathering tonight.

We'll hold a celebration and wash away your bad luck.

Sure.

What kind of people are they?

What kind of lousy law firm is this?

There's nothing else I can say.

What a terrible law firm!

All of you, get out of the way!

This is such a terrible law firm!

There's nothing else to say about it!

There's nothing else to say!

There's nothing else to say!

- How dare you guys open a law firm? - Cheng Yao!

- What kind of people are they? - Madam Wu.

Let's talk in the meeting room, okay?

Don't call me that. Don't try to be close to me.

- How long has she been here? - Why should I go to the meeting room?

I'll speak here. I want everyone to be my judge.

This is the person.

She lost the most important piece of evidence, which is my IOU.

She threw it away.

Even so, she wants to charge me for her services.

How do you wish to deal with this, then?

Of course it's not to charge me for anything.

Madam Wu,

I apologize once again for losing your IOU.

However, not charging you the attorney fee isn't what we do here.

Listen up.

Not only do you need to waive the attorney fee for me,

but you also have to pay me for mental compensation.

But I've already done my best to fight for your biggest interest.

And, according to the law,

lawyers only have to compensate their clients

if they practice illegal conducts

that lead to the client's loss.

Don't try to scare me.

I've been around for a long time.

You won't scare me with that.

I have nothing to say to you.

Go and bring your boss here.

- Madam Wu... - Don't touch me.

I don't want you touching me.

- Get lost! - Madam Wu, I can call the cops on you for doing so.

If you have any opinions regarding our services,

you can file a complaint at the Law Association or file a lawsuit.

You're welcome to do so. But if you try to default your payment like this,

we'll definitely file a lawsuit against you.

Who are you?

What gives you the right to talk to me like that?

- Are you her boss? - Is someone looking for me?

Hello.

You must be her boss.

Yes, I'm Cheng Yao's boss.

If you have any opinions, you can tell me.

All right, I'll tell you, then.

(Tan Ying)

- Tan Ying? - (Lawyer Wu, this is an emergency.)

Come back and deal with the old lady, which is your forte,

so that we can still win the Golden Scale Award.

Got it. I'm coming back now.

She's so bad at her job.

How could I not doubt your law firm?

She lost such an important piece of evidence,

which is my IOU.

Even so, she still wants me to pay for her services?

Guys, be my judge. Does this even make sense?

Madam Wu, I understand the situation now.

However, Lawyer Cheng Yao won the lawsuit.

You didn't incur any losses because of her.

Logically speaking, we shouldn't give you any compensation

or refund the attorney fee.

It was our negligence that we lost the IOU.

However, it wasn't Cheng Yao's fault.

It's my fault. As her mentor, I didn't guide her well.

That means Junheng & Co has flaws

when it comes to dealing with evidence.

To express our sincerity,

I shall compensate you for the attorney fee.

Look at her.

A boss is a boss indeed.

The way she speaks is different as well.

Look at how classy she is.

Unlike someone else.

She looks pretty,

but she's bad at her job.

Please calm down.

This young girl is the girlfriend of our founding partner.

Please give her a chance to grow.

Zhang,

take Madam Wu to the counter to proceed with the refund.

- Okay. - Okay.

Thank you, boss.

- All right, I'll follow him. - Okay.

No wonder.

So, someone got the position by depending on her boyfriend.

She even wanted to be one of the executives, huh?

It's no wonder she's terrible at her job.

Cheng Yao,

go and get changed.

Lawyer Liang,

I think you dealt with that situation poorly.

I know. Qian Heng is out on a business trip.

That's why you're not in your best state.

What about this? You should go back and rest first.

We can talk about this later.

This has nothing to do with Lawyer Qian.

I don't understand why you're doing this.

I don't think we should refund her for the attorney fee.

We're lawyers.

We work with contracts, pacts, the law, and principles.

We shouldn't back away just because people might cause a ruckus.

But you did lose the original document. You were the person in charge.

I don't want Wu Jie to cause a ruckus in the law firm.

This will affect your reputation and our colleagues from working.

If this issue blows up,

according to the penalty system,

you should be punished.

Fine.

I'll bear the responsibility for my mistake.

However, I don't wish to be forced to admit that it's my mistake

when it's not my fault.

And, the original document vanished for no apparent reason.

If you wish to punish me, we should hold an investigation.

Cheng Yao,

if you attribute all of your mistakes to that,

how should I know if you're trying to shirk your responsibilities or not?

We're lawyers. We need to speak with evidence.

An outstanding woman must achieve success by herself.

An outstanding man

won't stay with a decorative figure forever, you know?

Here, take this.

Lawyer Wu, you're finally here.

What's going on?

What's with the huge commotion?

I met Zhang downstairs.

He said you guys already refunded Wu Jie with the attorney fee.

Lawyer Wu.

Lawyer Liang forked out her money to clean up the mess Cheng Yao made.

But Cheng Yao didn't appreciate her favor. She wanted to cause trouble too.

Will you die if you just shut up?

- I... - Fine, I got it.

I'll deal with this.

You guys are dismissed.

Lawyer Liang, thanks.

Cheng Yao,

I'll bring you back to get changed.

Let's go.

It's great to be a decorative figure like her.

Even Lawyer Wu is siding with her.

If you're that free, go and find someone to clean the mess.

Proceed with your work.

Remember, do not spread gossip.

(Liang Yi Ran)

Come in.

- You're not busy, aren't you? - Nope.

- Let's have a chat. - Sure.

Have you done with your work?

Were you too strict with Cheng Yao?

Has she calmed down?

She looked pretty agitated just now.

I heard from the other colleagues

that you were the one who exempted the attorney fee for Wu Jie.

I'm a member of Junheng & Co after all.

To me, protecting the team comes before the firm's profit.

That's right.

Regarding this mistake, I'll issue a penalty notice.

I hope you can give us an account for this matter

on the founding partners' meeting next time.

Senior,

what do you mean by this?

Did I do the wrong thing by helping her out?

Junheng & Co has never exempted anyone from their attorney fee.

By doing so,

you're telling the others

that it's Cheng Yao's fault.

As one of the founding partners,

I cannot allow the law firm to set such a precedent.

And, I won't allow people to misunderstand our colleague like this.

I heard

that you were on good terms with Cheng Yao's sister in private.

As a founding partner, I don't think you should be biased.

I never talked about fighting for Cheng Yao's interest.

Yi Ran,

Qian Heng and I recruited you because of your ability.

I hope you won't make me regret my decision

because of your personal issues, okay?

Come in.

Cheng Yao? Have a seat.

Coffee or tea?

No thanks.

Here, have some coffee.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry about Wu Jie's case.

It was all my fault.

I'll resign as soon as possible.
