(Waiting area)

(Shanghai, seven months ago)

(In operation)

She went in?

Right on time, Mr. Ji.

Only dare to appear when it's

about time to apply anesthesia.

How is she?

Who?

Jamie.

You're not in France yet.

Speak Chinese.

Tell Zhuang Jie for me.

When I'm settled in France

there will be ample time

to contact her.

Zhuang Jie also asked me to tell you.

Life is too short.

I wish you happiness.

Even after I am transferred to France

I am still your direct superior, Wang Xixia.

So what?

So whatever it is between Zhuang Jie and me,

please keep out of it.

You and Zhuang Jie?

What's between you two?

Wasn't it just a three-year situation

without any acknowledgment?

You ran away as soon as she wanted to make it official.

What's wrong?

Is this flower to commemorate

your premature love that ended too soon?

(Ji Tong)

Jie.

Are you going to record?

You have to work with me.

It has to look like the real thing.

Okay.

Let me check the equipment for you.

Not bad.

Lighting, check.

Internet connection, check.

Battery, check.

Let me go through the script for you again.

You have to memorize it later.

Be like me.

Vivid expressions and...

Zhuang Jie.

Ji Tong might have not

given up on you yet.

Forget it.

My greatest advantage

is my self-awareness.

It's true.

I...

The day when I just came back.

He wanted to talk to me.

I told him you have a boyfriend.

(Shanghai, last week)

Mr. Ji.

Don't pretend to be busy.

Let's have a chat.

Wang Xixia.

I told you.

Even if I went to France,

I am still your direct superior.

So?

HQ wants you to work with me to train some newbies.

I haven't seen you in two days.

Didn't the administration tell you?

My annual leave starts today.

Are you avoiding me?

Mr. Ji, it's quite weird

to use this phrase here.

There's no need for us to beat around the bush.

I know.

Zhuang Jie is on vacation

because I hurt her badly.

Aren't you a bit narcissistic?

Don't say that.

I really care about her.

If I knew something would happen to

Zhuang Jie's stepfather,

I should have...

You should keep hanging her.

Quit it.

Zhuang Jie is on vacation

to rest after her surgery.

Your relationship with her

has been thrown away along with the medical trash long ago.

Moreover,

she has a boyfriend now.

What an attractive couple.

A match made in heaven.

Is he from your hometown?

Handsome.

Attentive to details.

Treats her well.

From now on, Zhuang Jie's matters

are none of your concern.

Wang Xixia.

We are both sensible people.

Why so hateful?

If Zhuang Jie could

abandon Shanghai and me

for a man in the town,

I'd write my last name backward.

Are you mad?

I was just trying to piss him off.

But I think

he still cares a lot.

None of my business.

Have you really let it go?

Why should I lie to you?

That's good.

Done.

Jie.

Get the chicken.

Anchor.

Get the chicken.

Why are you so

absent-minded tonight?

If you aren't feeling it,

we can get another anchor.

But you must reflect on it properly.

We need to have a meeting later.

A serious one.

Are you really not feeling well?

Then let Ms. Liao Tao do it.

She's busy.

Let Jisan Goose

deal with it first.

Come back.

Jie!

Jie!

I am very dissatisfied

with your performance today.

I worked so hard, but you didn't cooperate with me.

I'm sorry, Niaoniao.

I really can't do it.

Next time.

I will definitely do better next time.

Next time.

There will be no next time.

Sorry.

It's my fault today.

I held my sister back.

It's not entirely your fault.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

I might as well study hard.

I support you.

Let's first be a good student.

If you want to start a business,

you can take your time.

Don't rush into things.

Jie.

There's something wrong with you today.

There's always something wrong.

Don't interrupt.

I mean.

You have something on your mind.

Tell me.

I won't tell mother.

Do you remember

a colleague I mentioned before?

He's called Ji Tong. Your boss.

Your ability to remember gossip is exceptional.

What's up with him?

He came back to China.

He stayed for half a month to training new employees.

He heard something happened to our family.

So he called to say hello.

Just to say hello?

He wants to see me.

No way.

Why?

How can he leave whenever he wants

and see you whenever he wishes?

He did nothing to help when something happened to us.

You're right, Niaoniao.

Jie.

I've always wanted to ask you.

In the few days after my dad died.

You didn't shed a single tear.

But I don't believe you weren't upset.

How did you get through it?

Did somebody help you?

Certainly.

During those times,

no one could bear it

without help from others.

So,

you should be with

those who help in times of need.

Icing on the cake?

You don't need those.

(Yongda Plaza)

You can't make up your mind when it comes to underpants, huh?

Hey.

Do you want everyone to know?

Am I wrong?

You look like a pervert. You've been here for half an hour.

Well, I'm just inexperienced.

I didn't know men's underwear

came in so many styles.

Just randomly pick some.

Get some boxers.

Get some briefs.

Get him a few of each, okay?

You do it.

This looks good, no?

This one too...

No wonder you can't get enough of it.

Just choose one for him.

Do you guys know each other too?

Too?

I didn't have time to introduce myself the last time.

Cui Ge.

That man.

He's in his thirties.

He told me he came from a family of traditional Chinese physicians.

There were a few people with him.

Oh, and do you know

what he calls himself?

Cui Ge. [*Means Big Brother Cui in Chinese]

Acting like a big shot.

Who named him?

Ge as in 'big brother'?

Ge as in 'song'.

Do you like this?

No, you do.

I haven't worn it though.

Let me help you.

It's okay.

What a coincidence!

Shall we have a meal?

No way.

Was this sent by Zhuang Jie?

What do you want to eat tonight?

Anything is alright.

Do as you like.

Is there anything you want to say to me?

Like what?

What's going on?

I asked Zhuang Jie to buy some clothes for me.

I've been busy recently.

What is this?

Underwear.

You asked Jie to buy underwear for you?

She didn't refuse me.

That's because Jie

has a big heart.

You little rascal.

Who do you think you are?

You made an unmarried girl

buy you underwear!

What's wrong with that?

You!

You!

You should be sentenced!

Are you even treating her like a woman?

That's really not the case.

Never mind.

You heartless thing.

You aren't worthy of Jie.

Do you like her that much?

Is there a point in me liking her?

Sure.

Didn't I tell you?

The matter of my partner

is all up to you.

Whoever you like,

I will marry them.

I told you.

You need to move more.

You're walking too slowly.

Just like an old lady.

Hold on.

Let me take a break.

Take it easy.

The way I see it.

The weather is changing.

On this body.

Nothing feels right.

I can't sleep well either.

Your problem has nothing to do with the weather.

It has everything to do with your grandson.

True.

When Dong

wasn't even remotely interested in Jie,

I scolded him every day.

Now, he is showing a little interest.

I'm afraid instead.

Speaking with my conscience,

with his condition,

Dong can't bluff anyone.

If he and Jie don't get along,

and he gets hurt again.

He might be devastated.

At that time,

Even I wouldn't have the drive to go on.

Stop saying such depressing words.

With your physique,

you will definitely live to be over 100 years old.

Won't I become an old monster then?

Stop talking nonsense.

Believe in it.

Good things

are coming soon for sure.

I hope so too.

Well,

how good would it be

if we could predict matters of our children?

Just like the weather forecast.

Come on.

How arrogant are we

to dare predict the weather?

God acts

according to his own will.

We're old.

We need to learn to adapt.

If it rains, hold an umbrella.

Put out the quilt to dry when the sun comes out.

Accept come what may.

And be happy doing it.

Are you serious?

Should I be thankful

for typhoons and earthquakes?

At least, we should learn to be humble.

Know that humans are small.

Many things

are out of our control.

What now?

Switching your career

from a fortune teller to a philosopher?

Alright, let's go.

Go back and catch some sleep.

Slow down.

Time passes really quickly, doesn't it?

When we were young, we held each other's tiny hands.

And now,

we're holding each others' wrinkly hands.

Are you building an emergency room?

You spray too much disinfectant.

The bachelor is here.

The mop is at the door. Help clean the floor.

Why is your wife like this?

Better than having no wife.

My mother-in-law is coming to check our homework later.

Hurry up.

If we can't get it clean,

I will become a bachelor too.

Hurry up.

What should you thank me for?

Thank me for this cake?

Or should you thank me for my life-saving grace?

What's wrong with your legs?

Didn't I tell you to stop squatting?

It's too cold in here.

It triggers after a while. Phantom pain.

Wasn't that from back in high school?

Aren't you healed yet?

You really are ignorant.

This condition can't be cured.

It can only be alleviated.

Hold this.

I'm leaving.

Let me send you.

Well.

That.

Sister-in-law.

Spit it.

Don't call me that.

It gives me goosebumps.

I'm being serious.

Last year my grandma's legs were hurting.

She couldn't get out of bed.

You gave her some medicine patches then.

Could you get me a few more?

I got them from my mother.

Without her knowing.

Back in my hometown,

there is a famous Chinese medicine clinic.

Just a while ago,

the wife died from drinking pesticides.

That's the couple

who opened that store.

Really, that man.

I couldn't tell.

On the surface, he looks like a proper person.

Didn't expect this.

Please stop talking about other's family affairs.

Could you trouble your mother

to get me some more medicinal patches?

That stuff is in short supply.

It'll be hard to get it.

Get as many as you can.

I can even pay double the price.

What happened to Grandma?

It's not her.

Then who?

Yes, who needs it?

Spill it.

I need to know if she is worth

my mother's labor.

Zhuang Jie.

Chen Maidong.

You're all grown up!

Alright.

I'll call my mother right now.

I'll ask her to go the clinic before coming here.

I'll do it for you.

Come here.

What are you doing?

Sit down.

Do that later.

Let me ask you.

What happened?

What?

Are you playing dumb?

Zhuang Jie? Are you serious?

Do you have an opinion?

No.

What can I say?

I think

Zhuang Jie is too smart.

You might not be able to trick her.

I don't want to trick her.

So, you're really in love with her?

I'm even more worried, then.

It's not easy for an iron tree like you to blossom.

I'm afraid you might wither away.

Can't you just wish me luck?

That's not what I mean.

Chen Maidong.

Open your eyes.

Do you think Zhuang Jie

will stay in this town?

Is she someone you can live with?

I'm just worried that you might be sold

without realizing it.

Look at me.

Do I look like I'm valuable?

Come on.

What's with that mentality?

No matter what, you were

a dashing guy at school.

Don't trample on your own worth.

A woman like Zhuang Jie.

She has eaten and seen everything.

Dealing with a woman like her,

you must not rush things.

That's like making yourself her slave.

You're a slave.

You are the cheapest slave.

I'm not a slave.

What I'm doing is 'simping'.

What are you doing?

(Ticketing)

When you go back, try to persuade your mother.

Not to be rushed to put her goods on the supermarket.

Other than passenger flow,

the place shouldn't be too remote.

I'll ask my cousin-in-law later to investigate for you.

If a shop lot opens up,

- I will tell you as soon as possible. - Okay.

My mother has been collecting chickens.

I heard they are all free-range chickens with good quality.

I was wondering if we should hire someone

to rear chickens on Xingshan Mountain.

But that depends on whether the town agrees or not.

Don't be too aggressive, alright?

It's just the two of you.

Take it easy.

It's a lot of pressure.

More than 200,000 yuan was invested in the new factory.

Our relative who was seriously injured was discharged from hospital.

He asked us for 100,000 yuan in one go

as a settlement.

After all, he is only over 50 years old.

His waist was seriously injured.

He can never do heavy lifting again.

Zhuang Jie.

Even if he's a relative,

you need to draft an agreement.

Any more complications in the future,

your family shouldn't bear

any more responsibilities and fees.

That's true.

I wanted to hire a lawyer to notarize the agreement.

But I feel that's too cold.

Don't test one's humanity.

Sign it in black and white.

That's the best for everyone.

Sure.

I'll follow your words.

Okay, you can go back now.

I'm leaving then.

Don't miss me too much.

I picked just the right time to go back.

I heard that Ji Tong is on a business trip again.

Don't be too hostile to him.

Things between us are in the past.

Oh, yeah?

I'm not as tolerant as you.

I rarely dislike anyone.

But if I do,

it's the permanent blacklist for them.

What are you laughing at?

Including that Cui Ge?

How dare you mention him?

When we met at the mall last time,

I was so sick. Have you forgotten?

But I really think

he's quite interesting.

Why don't you try to get to know him?

Shut your mouth.

Go home.

Bye-Bye.

Call me if something happens.

You should give it some thought.

That Gui Ge guy.

After all, it's rare to meet

Big Brother Cui.

I'll hit you.

Be careful.

Cui Ge.

Cui Ge.

Looking at your phone while walking.

You still have the same old bad habit.

Why are you here?

I came here just to see you.

Are you moved?

I'm a little surprised.

That's great.

Coffee?

I don't think there's

a cafe that you like in this town.

No.

On my way here,

the town seems quite lively.

I need to help my mother with some chores.

See you later.

Tell me where.

Sure.

I'll call you later.

We'll talk at home tonight.

Okay?

Mother.

Mother.

Stop calling me.

Lift your feet.

Whenever you spread out that workbook

you will get hungry, thirsty,

or want to go to the toilet.

There's always something wrong.

No, I'm very serious.

I'm stuck on this math problem again.

When is Jie

coming back?

How would I know?

She's good.

All grown up now.

The guy even came here to look for her.

I'm still acting like a fool.

I don't even know his last name.

Does she still treat me as her mother?

Really?

That's outrageous!

I was wondering

why you are in a bad mood.

Who came here?

I told you. I don't know.

Anyway, that person

is dressed all prim and proper.

He looks like he wants

to buy the whole of Nanping Town.

He came to the storefront.

When he heard your sister wasn't here,

he quickly walked away.

As if he's afraid of the chicken smell getting on his clothes.

That look on his face.

Oh, him?

You know him?

Even you don't know.

How would I know?

I'm just guessing.

He should be someone from Shanghai.

I've seen photos of Jie in their annual meeting.

They all look the same.

All full of vigor.

Your sister is also very energetic.

Seriously, what is going on?

She's even dressed like

she's going on a flower parade.

Freeze her to death.

Freeze her to death.

Go do your homework.

What does this have to do with you?

All of you are making me worried.

(Jie,)

(red alert.)

(Be careful with your words and actions.)

Why did you think of having a barbecue date?

Whenever you have a meal with Wang Xixia...

Thanks.

Don't you always have

hotpot, skewers, or spicy hotpot?

You don't have to force yourself.

There are Western restaurants in our town.

Sure, they aren't high-end.

But their food tastes good too.

It's okay.

I do as the Romans do.

If knew you were so easygoing

I wouldn't wear clothes that absorb smells.

It looks good.

Also, your attire

matches mine very well.

So,

you still maintain your old habits.

Catering to me.

Accommodating me.

After all this time, I've gotten used to it.

After all, you are my boss.

You're treating me as your boss now?

Didn't you repeatedly

tell Wang Xixia?

Even if you went to France

you are still our

direct superior.

Jamie.

You should understand.

You are not just a subordinate to me.

(Instructions on the patch)

(Ancestral secret recipe)

There are some things

that I thought were understood by both of us.

So I never pointed it out.

I thought you would understand it naturally.

My family has high expectations for me.

Since young,

I have never once disobeyed my parents.

Guaranteed admission to university,

getting a job, going abroad.

These are all part of the plan.

Of course,

this plan

includes my love life and marriage.

I'm more than just the pride of my parents.

My grandparents...

Hey guys.

Close the door and chat inside.

Okay?

Thanks.

Let's go.

Be careful on the way back.

Let me repeat it.

I understand what you are saying.

But I don't understand

why you came here specially to tell me this.

You don't understand?

I don't.

I thought since you quietly

went to France.

There's nothing left to discuss between you and me.

I went there to pave the way.

For me.

For the both of us.

Then I don't understand it even more.

I must first satisfy the expectations of my family.

Only then, can I have a bigger say

in my romance and marriage.

Initially, I planned to settle down first.

Then I'll send you abroad for two years of study.

In this case, perhaps

my family will

have an easier time accepting you.

Don't you trust me?

Hello?

Where are you?

The barbecue restaurant on the main street.

Barbecue?

Don't you hate that?

A friend of mine reserved it.

Not Wang Xixia. She went back.

What's so urgent?

What's wrong?

Is it not convenient?

Another day...

It's alright.

Come here.

Okay.

Then I'll come over now.

See you later.

Okay, bye.

Your boyfriend?

This has nothing to do with you, right?

I really didn't expect this.

You move too fast.

Ji Tong.

I know you are a good negotiator.

Good at sophistry and reeling people in.

But

let me be honest with you.

You are the one who's too slow.

Too late.

I was being cautious.

You are selfish.

Me too.

Zhuang Jie.

Ji Tong.

Just listen to what I have to say first.

Even though it has only been a few months

since I made things clear with you.

But for me, that is

three years and half a lifetime.

That's right.

My recent experience

is enough for me to become another person.

So, now I don't care at all

what your family thinks of me.

Or can they accept me.

Because I also have to take care of my family.

I'm very busy.

The point is that you have someone else in your heart.

You'd better stop saying that.

You make things seem sour.

This is an objective fact.

The objective fact is I am a disabled person.

Ever since I was 12 years old.

So, no matter how many two years I spend

to further my studies,

to cater to, or to accommodate your family,

they may not

accept me.

Zhuang Jie.

Relationships require effort.

We can't be too calculative with the cost.

Do I really need to

spell it out for you?

You were the one who was being calculative first, right?

If you really were sincere,

really paving the way for us,

why did you run away in the first place?

You were keeping me while looking for a better one.

And now, you are not content with how it ended.

This is not love.

You know?

Okay.

Even if you are right.

I'm back now.

I want to get back together.

I want to accept your confession.

Do you want me to?

I've already rejected you just now.

Think about it again.

Think again.

I'm getting some fresh air.

Where is your friend?

Here.

What's wrong?

This is a medicine patch.

There is an instruction manual inside.

I'll excuse myself.

I'll call you later.

Don't you know about your own condition?

Have you forgotten how it hurts now that it's healed?

That's him, right?

Chen Maidong?

He is Chen Maidong.

This guy?

Ji Tong.

That's enough for tonight.

Neither of us likes barbecue.

What a waste.

Thank you for coming to see me.

Good luck in the future.

In the company, you are still my boss.

I respect you very much.

This won't change.

Today, I...

I was a little out of sorts today.

Next time...

I'll send you home.

No, thank you.

You should go home early.

I'm not in a hurry to go back to Shanghai.

Next time, we'll eat what you like.

(Hongxu Cargo Warning) You, you have to block it.

But I did, didn't I?

- You blocked it so well. You're gone. - I only have three, four, and five left.

Tell me, how could I go?

How can I block it?

I'm four, three, four, five. How can I go?

Come.

It's so cold.

You're wearing so little.

His face is colder than the weather.

Enough.

Talk less.

Deal the cards.

Mother?

I thought you were asleep.

Don't tell me

you sneaked home silently because you

were worried you might wake me up.

Of course.

I haven't done anything wrong.

That guy today

is called Ji Tong.

He's my boss.

He heard about our incident.

So he came to visit me.

That's it?

That's it.

Then why did you have to come back

for a change of clothes?

Dressing up and all that.

He is a colleague from Shanghai.

I must be more formal.

Otherwise, he'll think

I'm too slipshod in my hometown.

You think making a fool of yourself in that dress

will make you confident?

I think that person is not good.

Too proud.

When he smiles.

There is no warmth in the eyes.

He is not the same kind of person as you.

I know.

Jie.

We are just

the upright people of this town.

We don't lick anyone's boots

nor are we scared of anyone.

Understand?

Mother.

Ji Tong and I

are really just colleagues.

Don't worry.

Okay.

Sleep early.

You too.

Did Wang Xixia

send these to you?

No.

A friend of mine gave it to me.

Make more friends like this.

From now on, forget about those who

only care about your face, not your leg.

(Add alarm, Tag: Chen Maidong reminds you to change medicinal patch)

Money is hard to make.

Crap tastes bad.

My brother-in-law is getting married next month.

I think my income this year

might have to be contributed fully.

At least your money

is going back into your family.

Wu Dalang chatted with me two days ago.

He was also cheated a lot.

Who did that?

Wu Dalang's in a tough spot.

His father has a GoFundMe.

My wife donated 200 to that.

Hedgehog, I think.

He's out of prison?

Yeah.

He brings his company to eat at Wu Dalang's restaurant every day.

They leave once they're done.

Put it on the tab, he says.

Wu Dalang is too cowardly.

Always trying to calm things down.

If it were me,

I wouldn't let Hedgehog have his way.

Stop joking around.

Do you think you are Dong?

He has been confrontational since he was a kid.

Stability is important for business.

What is stability?

For people like Hedgehog,

once you show your fear,

he will bully you.

You have to toughen up.

He fears the tough and bullies the weak.

Who's that?

Hedgehog.

Just our luck.

Why didn't I hear

about your game here?

Let me join in the fun.

Come,

sit here.

Win or lose, put it on my account.

Dong and I were just going out to buy something.

Why should I play with your account?

Why should I

use your money?

Moreover,

it's not like

I have no friends.

Aren't I right?

Dong.

Dong, come on.

Xu's hardware shop

closes early.

Let's go.

Don't be in a hurry.

Dong.

Lend me some money.

Get lost.

What did you say?

I told you to scram.

Still tough as ever, huh?

I knew it.

As expected of a guy who deals with dead people.

You're of a different breed, huh?

No.

What are you doing?

Don't move.

Stop fighting.

Stop it.

It's my stuff, don't touch it.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

Don't do it.
