[Sunshine by My Side]

[Episode 9]

What's wrong?

Song Chen,

I think it's her.

I've never seen her in person either.

She's quite elegant.

Very elegant.

No wonder he can't forget her.

It turns out she's gorgeous.

[Jian Bing]

You sent your goddess away?

I finally saw her in person today.

Who would believe that you're not doing this for your personal gain?

She has an extraordinarily strong aura.

I didn't realize she's this talented.

She's made so many films

and won so many awards.

Of course.

Otherwise, how could Sheng Yang

be so lovestruck?

Don't talk nonsense.

She has a husband.

According to the Internet,

they are the Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the advertising industry.

What Mr. and Mrs. Smith?

It said so online.

It said they've been together for many years

and started a business together.

They're well-known in the industry.

She's divorced.

But that has nothing to do with me.

Sheng Yang.

Sheng Yang.

The team leader wants you to see him.

Be careful.

Watch your mouth.

Come in.

Team Leader,

you wanted to see me?

Sit.

Sheng Yang.

How long have you been in the company for?

More than three years.

More than three years.

I remember

you started working with me

as an intern in your senior year, right?

Yes.

Over three years.

Sheng Yang,

what do you think

about how I treat you?

Pretty good.

I think you're pretty good too.

You're capable

and quite talented.

All these years, you've done a lot for the company

and suffered a lot too.

But I hope you can understand.

This is how our company is.

Everyone has their role and there are no extras.

The business environment is bad these years too.

I've mentioned it to the boss countless times

to give you a promotion and a raise.

But I can't do anything

if he doesn't agree, right?

Am I right?

Actually, I always thought

that our team culture is quite good.

If anyone has any complaints or grievances,

I'm always open

for a talk.

But recently,

you've been doing things behind my back.

It's troubling for me.

I haven't.

You haven't?

What's your relationship with that director?

I...

She and I...

We don't have any relationship.

You're not relatives?

Of course not.

I'm serious.

Alright.

How about this?

Tomorrow,

I'll tell the boss

to give you a promotion.

Your base salary

will rise from 5,000 to 6,000.

Project commissions will be calculated separately.

By the way,

tell the director

to not to take this project.

Everyone understands.

No,

Team Leader, I...

I know.

You're all grown up.

You have your own ideas and ambition.

I understand and respect that.

I'm not doing this for personal gain.

Then why are you

being so selfess?

Anyway, it's not for myself.

Then who are you doing it for?

It's simple.

The brand wanted a new director

and the boss asked me.

Jian Bing is the only director I know.

Plus, I think

the style of our product this time

suits her very well,

so I just helped them connect.

I recommended her to the company.

As you can see,

the boss is very satisfied with her.

Listen, Sheng Yang.

Stop using the boss to pressure me.

So, you didn't do this for any reason,

other than the good of this project?

Yes.

Great.

You've learned to act innocent for a surprise attack.

I...

Listen, Sheng Yang.

When I came to this company,

you were still playing with dirt in kindergarten.

Don't think you're so great

just because that stupid proposal got accepted.

There are more than enough students

with your level of skills in art schools.

Don't get mad.

If you leave today, a new batch will come tomorrow.

I've said what I need to say.

I've given you respect too.

Don't take it for granted.

Go back to work.

Don't take it to heart.

Wang.

He's just a jerk.

I just don't understand.

How come a jerk can live well,

while I have to take all this crap?

Because...

Because you're a good person?

We've known him for a while.

Don't you know how he is?

Do you think someone like him

will have a good ending?

No way.

Who said that?

Really.

The boss wants the kid in your team to take charge.

The director's contract has been drafted.

He said they know each other,

so it's easier to work together.

Did the client agree?

Yes.

They met the director in private

and reached an agreement over a meal.

Your team has two projects in a row.

What a showoff.

The other teams are envious.

Does Sheng Yang have any background?

What background?

His mom sells vegetables in a supermarket.

His dad is just a street cleaner.

Back then,

if I hadn't hired him

and taught him personally,

he wouldn't be where he is today.

It's clear to me now.

These kids

are all ungrateful.

Hey,

what about the female director?

They have a special relationship.

You can see it too?

Yes.

These kids are all open.

It's easy for them to sell.

Watch your language!

Hey, hey.

You little brat.

Who are you talking about?

I'm talking about you.

Who are you talking about?

It's you two getting kickbacks together.

So what if I say he sells himself?

Let go!

Let go!

Stop fighting. Calm down.

They're hitting me!

I'm dying!

They're hitting me!

They're fighting!

There's a fight inside

Pull them back.

You even got a weapon!

Tell me.

What happened?

Boss,

you have to help me this time.

These two

got together to beat me up.

How can I meet my client tomorrow?

I have an appointment.

Don't you know why we hit you?

Listen to what you said.

What do you mean?

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

The boss is here.

I just don't like

how you take advantage of your position.

Do you hear that, Boss?

Is this what a subordinate should say?

I admit,

I'm usually

too serious about work.

I do put a lot of pressure on them.

But I think,

as subordinates,

you can come tell me

about your complaints and ideas,

right?

I was minding my business

and they burst into the bathroom.

They started hitting me without explanation.

Ask Zhao.

Zhao was there.

Wasn't that so?

Harmony.

Harmony.

Enough.

Look at you.

You're injured.

Look at their faces.

They're injured too.

Boss,

they got hurt accidentally.

You didn't see it.

Let me put it this way.

Boss,

I do everything for the sake of the company.

I'm a senior in the company.

But what happened today

is a great humiliation to me.

Really.

It's a disgrace.

Let me make it clear.

Either I leave

or they leave.

It's up to you.

Yan.

Your dress is so beautiful.

Your shirt is pretty too.

My son bought it for me.

The color looks great.

Not as good as yours.

Sister-in-law,

are you off work?

Yes.

Have you eaten?

Not yet.

Come to my house when you're free.

Sheng, you're back.

Greet Uncle Sheng.

Hello, Uncle Sheng.

Hello, handsome.

Which household did this?

You littered trash.

If everyone cuts themselves some slack,

the society takes one big step back.

It's made quite well.

They threw it away when it's still usable.

People are so wasteful these days.

You're back.

Yes, I'm back.

Are you watering the flowers?

Yes.

Be careful.

You're back.

You're back.

Remember to sort your trash.

Okay.

Don't throw them randomly.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sister-in-law.

Qiao?

It's me.

Coming.

Qiao,

come in.

Would you like to come in?

No need.

Am I bothering you?

You're never a bother.

What's this?

I just think that your outfit

really suits you.

Looks great.

Is it suitable?

Sheng gave it to me,

so I just wore it.

What are you talking about?

You look much better

than when I wore it.

Look at your slender waist.

I was afraid you might dislike it,

so I went back to my room and found some more.

I've gained weight.

I can't wear them anymore.

It's a pity to leave them at home,

so I wanted to show you.

Which one do you like?

You can take all of them too.

Look.

Wait.

What do you mean?

Didn't Xiangqian tell you?

This dress is mine.

It's yours?

Look at this one. It's nice.

The color is great.

-People who can't sort trash -It's green.

are practically living in the Dark Ages.

You're back.

You two are chatting?

We talked about

everything already.

Go on.

There's nothing else to say.

Sister-in-law.

Brother, look.

This...

My clothes are brand new.

Is she upset?

She doesn't like this dress?

The clothes are fine.

The clothes are fine.

Xiangqian,

be honest.

Did you not tell her?

Is that necessary?

Do I have to report everything to her?

Is that necessary?

Look at what you did.

You're making me seem like the bad person.

You...

What can I say about you?

You messed this up.

Look.

My mistake.

Xiangqian, I really...

-I don't know what to say. -My problem.

You changed your outfit so quickly.

We added a new performance for the Spring Festival?

Outfit transformation?

You were so rude just now.

She was still standing outside the door

and you shut the door on her.

You are polite.

You're so polite.

You lied to me and insulted me.

You've gone too far.

How did I insult you?

What you said is so harsh.

I was very happy

when I woke up this morning.

When I saw this dress,

I almost cried.

I was so happy

and excited all day.

I never thought

that I'm just a clown.

How are you a clown?

All I've been thinking about these days was your dress.

When Qiao's wardrobe broke,

I fixed it for her and mentioned this.

You could've taken anyone's clothes,

but you just had to take Qiao's clothes.

I even went through the building to show off

and you crushed my dignity

before I even finished.

What?

What are you talking about?

I wanted to buy a dress for you,

but I'm broke.

Even though I'm broke,

right,

I went through the trouble

to get 1,000 yuan from my son.

I was going to buy you a dress.

Is this about the dress?

Is it about the dress?

How is it not?

This is about the dress.

I'll transfer the money to you.

There's no need to talk about it anymore.

Go cook.

Okay, I'll transfer it to you right now.

You want dinner?

No food.

You deserve to starve to death.

You...

You have a transfer

of money to purchase a dress.

Please remember to accept it.

You look good in this.

If you feel uncomfortable wearing it,

then don't wear it.

How come it's an insult?

Women, really...

It's a little cold. Hang in there.

I'll do it myself.

Thank you.

Song Chen, come here.

Be gentle.

This is a face,

not a radish.

It's a wound.

Deal with the pain.

How old are you?

Why were you so impulsive?

Can I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

Why can't you

treat us equally?

You are so gentle to him

and so mean to me.

Keep going.

See if you'll still be this matter-of-fact

when you get fired tomorrow.

I won't get fired.

Have you heard that the law doesn't punish the masses?

He can't fire two people at once.

Who else would he fire?

You hit him first.

It's impressive that the team leader didn't call the cops on you.

He started it.

He was saying horrible things.

Haven't you heard of this saying?

If you're a man,

you speak with actions instead of words.

You are a man.

You're a man who lost your job.

Is pride more important than bread?

You two

apologize to the team leader tomorrow.

Maybe he can forgive you

for old times' sake.

Listen.

Apologizing

is impossible.

I should've hit him harder.

I think Pan Rou is right.

Which company would hire us

if we got fired suddenly?

Let me ask you,

how much savings do you have in the bank?

If you really lost your job,

can you afford

next month's rent?

Are you regretting it?

You feel like we shouldn't have hit him?

What he said to you today

was inhuman.

Don't you know how he bullies you usually?

And now you think we shouldn't have hit him?

Listen.

You're not allowed to apologize.

Even if the sky falls down, I'll hold it up.

How?

Yeah, how?

Push it up with a pot lid?

Song Chen, listen.

The employment situation is really bad right now.

Many graduates can't find a job.

What's our advantage?

Listen.

Wang is a senior in the company.

He can fire us at anytime.

But you...

What's the use of saying this now?

It's too late for this talk.

I did this

for you, didn't I?

Alright, I know.

Okay, okay.

Come to the company early tomorrow

and apologize to the team leader.

Maybe this matter will be over.

Wang is quite a fighter though.

He threw some punches on you two.

-He did it. -He did it.

-Friendly fire. -Friendly fire.

Luo Meijuan,

I don't think it's insulting

to wear your son's old clothes.

Anything you bring back for me to use,

I use it.

I don't think it's insult.

What now?

You think it's insulting

that a neighbor gave you a dress?

Do you have a fragile ego

or are you being vain?

Luo Meijuan.

I have a temper too.

Listen.

If I lose my temper...

When our neighbor's husband died,

he left her some money.

If one day you are gone,

you'll leave me this junk, right?

With how you're acting,

I want to be gone right now.

What do you mean by leaving junk?

I carefully selected all of these things.

One man's trash is one man's treasure.

What's wrong with reusing?

People go to thrift stores just for these things.

Do you understand?

I don't understand.

I only know that I, Luo Meijuan,

only deserve to wear

clothes that my neighbor doesn't want anymore.

The day has passed and we're still arguing about this.

What do you want?

Do you plan on starting a full-out war?

She gifted you a dress.

She's so nice, but you're not thankful at all.

She's nice?

If she's nice, you should go live with her.

You're speaking nonsense again.

What did you say?

Let me make it clear today.

In this house,

you either have me and not this junk,

or you have this junk and not me.

Throw them out!

Why are you staring at me?

Are you going to toss them, or should I?

Tell me.

Xiangqian.

Xiangqian.

Qiao.

In my opinion,

you can't blame your wife for being angry.

If it were me,

I would be unhappy too.

You two have quarreled about this

so many times already.

In the future,

stop bringing these things home for no reason.

Trash should be thrown away, right?

How are these things trash?

Take a look.

This one.

It used to be a decoration,

but she threw it away because it was chipped.

I planted flowers in it

and turned it into a flowerpot.

It's beautiful,

right?

You know,

back when Yang was learning how to draw,

he drew a picture using this as reference.

His art teacher

praised him

in front of the whole class.

That silly boy

was happy for a week after that class.

Now, she threw it away.

Look.

And this one.

Right?

With this CD,

its material and this coating

can all be recycled.

But the cost of recycling and reusing

is too high.

You can only throw it away as dry garbage

and destroy it.

I...

I turned it into a bicycle.

You can put it on the coffee table

or put it on the bookshelf.

This...

Right?

You can put sewing tools on it.

Or I can make a big one

and you can put a remote control on it. It's great!

But she threw it away.

Quiet down.

And this one.

After I took it home,

I brushed and disinfected it.

When Yang was little,

he sat on it while eating.

It's great.

Trash.

She's going to throw it away now.

I'm not targeting her.

I really can't bear to see this.

You have no idea.

Young people nowadays

buy things irresponsibly online.

Whether you need it,

or you don't need it,

you can use it,

or you won't use it,

you can afford it or not,

they even take out loans to buy things.

Yes.

Sure, buy it.

But after buying it,

they get tired of it after a few days

and throw it all out.

I do this job every day.

I think

I really...

It really hurts my heart, you know?

I take them home

and use them well.

What's wrong with that?

Calm down.

Xiangqian,

you don't say.

You are

quite detailed.

What's the use?

She doesn't understand.

I understand.

Qiao,

I salute you

No, no.

I said I understand Sister-in-law.

I salute you.

It's true.

No woman would be happy

if the gift her husband gave her

was used by another woman

or worn by another woman, right?

She must be unhappy.

In my opinion,

as her husband,

you should be more considerate.

Care more about her feelings,

right?

Try to understand her more.

Qiao.

First of all,

regarding your kind action

of giving your own clothes

to Luo Meijuan,

I express my gratitude.

Really, I salute you.

But I think the point

isn't whether you've used it before or not.

The point is

when Luo Meijuan needed a dress,

her husband gave her a dress.

That's the point,

right?

Also,

isn't life about being concerned,

taking care of others,

and being considerate.

Maybe I'm uncultured.

I only care about

food and vegetables.

What's the point of understanding?

Go back and talk to her.

It'll be okay as long as she understands.

I'm leaving now, or else she'll be unhappy.

Let's go

Qiao,

if there's anything else that needs to be repaired,

just let me know.

Don't worry, I'll call you.

It's okay. Don't always stay home alone.

Talk to your sister-in-law more.

Ping-pong is fun to watch, right?

This shirt is from the 80's, right?

I bought this when I went to Suzhou in the 90's.

It’s too tacky.

Why did you say you don't have nice clothes?

Isn't this pretty?

[Retail price: RMB 3,000]

Three thousand yuan?

Did you buy

this dress?

Yes.

I bought it.

What's wrong?

You spent 3,000 yuan on a dress.

Are you crazy?

A bedsheet costs 80 yuan.

It's barely half as big as a bedsheet

and it costs 3,000 yuan.

You're yelling at me.

Shut up!

I'm not deaf or stupid.

It's 3,000.

Yes, it's 3,000.

So what?

Let me ask you.

Is it diamond-studded

or is it sewn with gold thread?

Is it worth 3,000 yuan?

I think it's worth it.

It's your problem that you think it's not worth it.

I work so hard all day long.

What's wrong with buying a dress

to reward myself?

Is this a reward for yourself?

You just want to show off

at your classmate reunion.

Three thousand yuan.

I won't scold you if you spent 3,000 on food and drinks.

You...

It's just a dress.

You wasted

half a month's salary.

Right now,

there are so many children in remote lands

who can't even get a sip of clean water.

Fine.

You're getting off-topic.

Don't play this trick on me.

People need hobbies.

It's said online that

women will get depression

if they don't buy clothes.

Why don't you respect my hobby?

You threw away all my hobbies.

What kind of hobby is collecting trash?

I...

It's called waste recycling.

I give them a new life.

Well, buying clothes

is to extend my own life.

Hang it back.

I'll cut it up with scissors.

Three thousand.

I'll tell you what it means to extend life.

You have food and water

and you can extend your life.

Are you done?

Have I had a single happy day

after marrying you?

We eat discounted food,

you made the furniture,

and we live in a second-hand house.

I put up with all that.

Now, I spent my own money to buy some clothes

and I have to hide it from you.

Shouldn't you

reflect on yourself?

What have you done to me?

I hand you my paychecks.

I don't smoke, drink, or mess around outside.

I come back to accompany you right after work.

What else do you want me to do?

You accompany me?

Have you ever done a single household chore?

Do you think you are the family mascot

or a lucky cat?

You stand there without doing anything.

Even our son is better than you.

Let him be the judge when he comes back.

Yes, he is better than me.

He works overtime every day.

He eats, sleeps, and leaves.

For him,

this home is just a hotel.

Who accompanies you more, me or him?

That's because my son has an actual job.

Actual job?

He pays for food every month.

He pays more than you.

If I dress nicely,

he would even compliment me.

What about you?

Not a single peep from you.

I get it now.

You look down on me for not making enough money.

Luo Meijuan, you weren't so materialistic when you were young.

It's not too late

to look down on me now.

I won't live a peaceful life anymore.

I'll cooperate with you.

Fine!

As a female director,

you've worked on set for more than ten years

and you can't figure out a drainage pipe.

You know I worked on set for more than ten years,

but you don't know what I do?

I'm in charge of actors' performance and cameras.

Why would I need a prop team if I can fix pipes?

Fine.

How about I send Xue over there

to repair it for you?

He can also

fix everything else in your home.

No, no, no.

We're divorced. Don't call him.

Don't be shy.

This is called after-sales service for divorce.

Seriously, Liang Shanshan.

It's not suitable for us to meet now.

Don't add more trouble for me.

If you really want to help me,

think back to all your boys.

Has anyone fixed drainage pipes for you before?

Send one to me.

No problem. I'll start looking now.

No, no, no.

I'm just kidding.

Hang up now. The smell is coming out.

I need to hold my breath.

Okay, bye.

She sent a guy over already?

-Have you had dinner? -Do you know how to fix drainage pipes?

-I can. -I haven't eaten.

Come in.

I'll fix it for you.

You really fixed it?

You men,

do you have a natural talent

for fixing and repairing,

or do you have to learn it?

There's nothing I can't do.

Really?

Let's eat.

The food is ready.

You cook well too.

You can fix pipes and cook.

Which technical school did you go to?

I did go to a technical school.

It was in my home.

I learned how to fix pipes from my dad

and how to cook from Meijuan.

Try it.

Try my cooking.

Thank you.

Just helping a friend out.

It's nothing.

Is it okay?

Delicious.

Delicious.

Eat more.

What happened to your face?

I...

had a fight

in the company today.

With whom?

My team leader.

I beat him up.

Why?

Because he deserved it.

I know

it's wrong to hit someone.

I can tolerate it

if he insults me,

and I can tolerate it if he insults my friends,

but he insulted my parents

and even you.

That's my bottom line. I couldn't hold back.

I wanted to do more too.

If he insulted this many people,

then just beat him up.

Some people just need to be taught a lesson.

You support me?

Yes.

Don't you think I was being impulsive?

You're not impulsive every day.

You're much more sensible

than my sister.

You didn't see how Wang Youde was like today.

He's so foul with his insults.

Is your team leader

the one you told me

to be careful of

when we left the company?

Yes, that's him.

I've seen many middle-aged greasy men.

He always brags about his performance,

tries to build connections with everyone,

and loves to make girls drink,

but he never pays the bill.

He's always like this.

Does he love to talk about past hardships

at parties,

love to make people work overtime,

and eight out of ten sentences he says

are about his achievements when he was young?

Their catchphrase is...

"I used to be really close to so-and-so.

If I say the word,

so-and-so has to help me out"?

All the credit

goes to him,

but if anything goes wrong,

it has nothing to do with him.

He's like a vampire

to young subordinates like you

and won't stop until he sucks out

all your passion and energy.

People like him

also have some usual tricks.

He'll hit you with a stick,

then give you a carrot,

exhaust you with countless menial tasks,

and use countless unrealistic goals to waste your time.

You understand all of this.

Just quit.

Quit what?

I'll get fired tomorrow anyway.

Doesn't that work out?

But I've been working here

for more than three years.

I was about to get a promotion and raise.

But you beat him up,

so you have to bear the consequences,

right?

Wait,

didn't you say you would support me?

Yes.

I support you in teaching him a lesson.

But

if you can't bear the consequences of hitting someone,

you should've thought twice before doing it.

So what if you hit him?

It's no big deal.

You're young.

You're capable and you're smart.

Just find another job.

What are you afraid of?

Don't rush me. I'm already here.

I told you.

She can't do anything without me.

Oh, you.

Backtrack and leave.

She really doesn't need you.

No.

She doesn't need me?

Correct.

She's already cleared the obstacle

and gone toward the broad avenue.

Didn't you say it's troublesome?

She won't trouble you now.

Alright.

I'm leaving.

Hurry and leave.

Bye.

I already got here.

I have advice for you.

If you want to become a big tree,

don't fight with grass.

A general has a sword

but doesn't kill flies.

Flies?

What fly?

Your team leader.

Doesn't your team leader buzz around like a fly

in your ears every day?

He doesn't bite,

but he's still annoying.

You should stay away

from people like him early on.

You worked with him

and had a fight with him.

All of this lowered your level

and consumed your energy.

Don't you think it's a loss

to waste your time

fighting with people like him every day?

Yes.

It's a huge loss.

So,

quit your job as soon as possible

and start a new chapter of life.
