(In Between)

(Episode 4)

A bowl of fried rice.

Yum!

You've picked them all out? Aren't you a meat lover?

What's wrong?

I don't know, recently there's been this dull pain.

It's been days. You should go to the hospital and check it out.

I can't get an appointment at the city hospital.

Let me check another one.

There's availability at this private hospital.

Don't. Insurance doesn't cover private hospitals.

If something big happens, I'd be at a huge loss.

It's fine. The earliest available slot is a few days away.

Let's book it first.

Ms. Xin.

Okay.

I'm on my way over.

I've got to work overtime.

Ms. Xin's friend has an ad shoot starting tomorrow,

and there's been some trouble in the art team. They need my help.

Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?

I'll grab some painkillers and power through it. Bye.

Do you have to go?

Be careful.

This one... There's the roofs.

-Check it out. -Okay.

-Han Han, how's it going now? -You brought it here.

Almost done with this batch of furniture.

Okay, move this refrigerator to the side.

Yang Yang.

-Coming! -This light isn't the one we had before.

Oh, you're right. I'll get it sorted immediately.

Yes, call them to replace it right away.

Okay.

Let's take a break, everyone. Thanks for your hard work.

Ms. Zeng is here.

I brought supper for everyone. Come over and eat!

Thank you, Ms. Zeng.

-Come on. -Wake up.

-Be careful. -I'm going to wash my hands first.

Han Han, what are you doing?

Putting this up for some good luck with the shoot.

-All right, come quickly. -Okay.

You must be tired.

-Ms. Zeng. -Thank you, Ms. Zeng.

Here, wipe your hands and eat up.

Sure.

-Put some over there. -All right. Come.

-Everyone, have a seat. -Why did you come personally?

As soon as I landed, I brought over the prepared food.

I'm best at making sure everyone is all fed.

Thank you, Ms. Zeng.

Han Han, come here.

Ms. Zeng.

This is the Sun Han Han, the one I told you about.

We couldn't have done it without her today.

Sun Han Han.

Thank you so much.

I was about to lose hope, and you really saved the day.

-Not at all, Ms. Zeng. You're too kind. -Thanks.

Why are your hands so cold?

Are you not wearing enough?

No, I'm always like this.

You need to take care of yourself, especially as a girl.

Don't drink cold drinks.

I brought hot milk tea, drink up.

Thanks.

Grab a seat. Have something to eat.

Eat as much as you want, we'll order more if needed.

-Okay. Thank you, Ms. Zeng. -Thank you, Ms. Zeng.

Dig in. Thank you for your hard work.

Han Han, what do you like to eat?

I'll take a slice of pizza.

It's still warm. Eat up.

-Here you go. -Okay.

How is it going? Did the set-up go well today?

Yes.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Don't worry.

Here's the drinks.

Lift your body.

Yes, exhale and move forward.

Right.

Good, hold that.

Once the results from the tests are out,

Dr. Wang will arrange everything.

-Thank you. -Okay.

Why did you get up?

The doctor said you have appendicitis and need surgery.

I need surgery?

It's perforated and inflamed for quite a while.

Any more delays could be serious.

But my parents are out of town, and they can't get here in time.

Can we wait until my mother arrives?

Girl, you're already an adult.

This condition can't wait for your mom.

Sorry, I need to take this call.

Just give me a moment.

Don't worry.

The surgeon, Dr. Wang, is a top-tier specialist.

People wait forever to see her.

It's lucky she's available today.

There's no time to waste with your situation.

I'll be tied up here for a while. The meeting will have to be delayed.

-Sun Han Han. -Okay.

All right, let's leave it at that.

Mr. Zhou, have you seen Ms. Sun?

The surgery room is all set, but we can't find her anywhere.

I don't know. I was on the phone.

Why don't we split up and search?

Okay, thanks.

Nan Nan, where are you?

Can you come and stay with me?

I've got appendicitis, and they say I need surgery.

You know I always had to hold my mom's hand when I got injections.

But she can't get here in time.

Come keep me company.

I'm scared.

It's normal to be scared about surgery.

Why are you hiding here?

The doctor and nurses are looking all over for you.

Don't worry.

The surgeon I found for you is very skilled.

Once they give you the anesthesia, you'll fall asleep,

and when you wake up, it'll all be over.

Don't be afraid.

I'll be here with you.

Please wait outside.

She may be a big celebrity,

but she can't just summon a lawyer whenever she pleases.

I'm busier than she is.

If she wants a meeting, she can make an appointment in advance.

Nan Nan.

(Han Han, you finally answered.)

(I was in a meeting earlier. How are you feeling now?)

Just had surgery.

I'm fine.

When can you come over?

(I'm with Ms. J meeting a client.)

(I'll come as soon as we're done.)

Come quickly. I need some comforting.

Nan Nan, come another time.

Bye.

Calling your boyfriend and asking him to come over?

It's my best friend.

I don't have a boyfriend.

Have you told your family yet?

Not yet.

My mom worries easily. It'll just stress her out.

I'll tell her once I'm better.

Being all alone in a big city must be tough for a girl.

Let me take care of you for a while.

I don't even know how to thank you.

There's no need to thank me for something so simple.

Don't move.

As for the hospital and surgery fees, I'll transfer the money to you later.

Focus on recovering. Don't worry about these things.

I can't accept that.

You've saved my life. I can't let you pay too.

If you don't let me pay, I'll discharge myself right now.

Don't rush.

We'll figure out the money later, okay?

I'm not going to take your money for nothing.

Then we'll find a reason for you to treat me to something one day.

Sorry, something came up.

I have to go now.

If you need anything, call me.

Thanks.

Hey.

Coco.

What's wrong?

I just saw Chen Shi Shi getting out of a luxury car downstairs.

Do you think she's dating a rich heir?

I've seen her a few times, and each time it's a different luxury car,

with a chauffeur opening the door.

She doesn't need to marry into money. She's already wealthy.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

She was so close. How could I?

-Why do you think she's kept it a secret? -Coco.

Come with me.

Good morning, Ms. Nan.

How many times do I have to go over such a small thing?

Do you think you're still in university,

where the advisor follows you around to spoon-feed you?

Are you stupid or just lazy?

Look at this.

I already confirmed that email with Ms. J.

She said it was fine before I sent it to the client.

Now the problem is on me,

and she's washing her hands of it completely.

That's seriously unfair.

Did you get on her bad side somehow?

I guess it's my fault.

I made some offhand remarks about that big scholar,

but they weren't even that close.

She's mad at me for no reason.

Big scholar?

Qu Yi Peng.

Ms. J thought she was getting close to him,

but he already has a girlfriend.

He has a girlfriend?

Just a few days ago, my best friend and I went shopping at SKP.

I saw him holding a girl's hand. They were really close.

The girl was beautiful with fair skin and long legs.

They looked perfect together.

It seems that he's just stringing Ms. J along.

Men are always drawn to good-looking women.

Ms. J should really be more self-aware.

(He Zhi Nan)

(Any plans for the weekend?)

(Account Balance)

What are you looking at?

I was imagining what you'd look like in that heels.

Ms. Gu, can you help me with this invoice?

The deadline for this month's invoices was noon today.

-You'll have to wait until next time. -No.

I'm really sorry, I was in meetings all morning and couldn't make it.

Please help me. It's still before the lunch break.

I'm on my way to the bank.

No, Ms. Gu, I'm really in a bind. Can you help me out?

Can't you wait two more weeks for just a few thousand?

It's 3,270.22 yuan.

My family member is sick, and I'm short that much.

Please help me out.

Please.

Ms. Gu, thank you.

Han Su.

-Ms. Xu. -Congratulations.

Hong Kong office is very impressed with you.

You know how fast-paced it is over there. They want you to report within a week.

Start preparing for the handover.

Thank you, Ms. Xu.

Ms. Xu.

A week? That soon?

Is there a problem?

No problem. I'll get right on it.

The firm will give you 20,000 yuan for moving expenses.

Go to finance to sort it out.

Okay.

Miss, you asked for the 8 cm heels last time. They're in stock now.

Would you like to try them on?

-No need. I'll take this pair. -Sure.

Oh my God, Han Su, these heels are stunning on you.

You've got such a powerful aura now.

I've been eyeing these shoes for ages. Finally got them today.

I feel totally different when I put them on.

I know exactly what you mean.

It feels so good.

I totally get that feeling.

These heels are 10cm.

Definitely the signature look of a female warrior.

I'll go with you for your ultrasound in a bit.

You guys are really thorough with the checkups.

That's because Mr. Zhou added extra tests for you yesterday.

He said you never take care of your health,

so might as well get a full-body check while you're here.

You have such a handsome and thoughtful uncle.

We're all a little envious.

Uncle?

Han Han.

I'll come check on you later.

Mr. Zhou.

How are you?

Are you feeling better today?

Much better.

Uncle?

You look more like my older cousin, at most.

When I brought you here, things were chaotic,

so I just simply said it.

Guess I was being modest.

Well, "uncle" works. "Older cousin" sounds a bit too ambiguous.

People might get the wrong idea.

I need to revise a contract.

It's quiet here. Hope you don't mind.

Not at all.

I promise I'll be quiet.

(Ever since Brother-in-law lost his job, he's been doing nothing at home.)

(He always asks Sister for money.)

(The minute you sent her money, he's already figured out how to take it.)

This can't go on like this.

How about this? When I get some free time,

I'll help him find a job.

(Brother-in-law is hopeless.)

(He's lazy and completely unreliable.)

(You'd be better off convincing Sister to just divorce him.)

What divorce?

Let's just leave it for now.

I'll do it.

Is there trouble at home?

It's nothing.

Just everyday life — arguments here and there.

Nothing serious.

Let's go for a nice meal later. My treat.

Did you get a bonus?

Just a little extra money.

Tell me what you want to eat.

Forget it.

Save the money. It's not like it's a special occasion.

I have something important to tell you.

What's so important

you need to treat me to dinner to say it?

Are you cheating on me?

You're the one cheating.

Where's your conscience? I'm treating you to dinner.

I passed by the shop on my way to a meeting today,

and I thought about it.

You look better in 10 cm heels,

so I bought you a pair.

Whatever I've promised you,

I'll keep my promises.

Go on, try them on.

Perfect.

Let's wear these out to dinner tonight.

Let's just eat at home.

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

I suddenly don't feel like going out.

Didn't you have something important to tell me?

What important matter could it be?

I just needed an excuse to treat us to a nice meal.

I'll make something good for you.

Why are you changing clothes? Where are you going?

I have a cocktail party tonight.

My boss invited the client's CEO.

-It wouldn't be right if I didn't show up. -What client's CEO?

To me, they are just opportunists, only working for their own gain.

You have a medical note.

If they're forcing you to go, that's against labor laws.

I can help you file a complaint.

No.

This is my first big client,

and this project is a huge opportunity that I worked hard to secure.

If I'm not there at such a critical moment,

and another colleague takes credit for my work, I'll lose out.

You're working so hard at such a young age.

Don't forget, you haven't had your stitches removed yet.

What if something goes wrong?

Don't throw away something important for something small.

Mr. Zhou, you don't understand how hard life can be.

I'm glad enough to hold on to the small victories.

You know how tough it is in our industry now.

If I miss tonight, I'll definitely lose my bonus.

I really can't afford that.

Your health is more important.

I know you care about me.

Come back early.

I know.

Also...

How about this? I'm still worried.

I'll drive you there,

and in two hours, you finish up, and I'll drive you back.

Most importantly, no drinking.

Okay.

Miss Sun, you left quite an impression on me during the last meeting.

Let me raise a glass to our talented and beautiful lady.

Here's to a successful collaboration.

Thank you, Mr. Wang.

Cheers.

Nice.

Quite the drinker.

Han Han, come here.

Let me introduce him to you.

This is Simon, the CEO of Dacheng Group,

and this is Sun Han Han, our new advertising creative.

She's brilliant.

Hello.

Let's head over...

Miss Sun.

Mr. Li.

The project you did for Mr. Gao last time was really great and creative.

When you get a chance, do something for our company too.

-I'll finish this drink first. -Thank you.

Hello.

Are you okay?

Ms. Zeng.

You're with Xiao Xin.

Sun... Sun Han Han?

Yes, I am Sun Han Han.

What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

Why are you so drunk?

I didn't drink a lot.

I just had a minor surgery, and the stitches haven't been removed yet.

How dare you drink after having surgery? Sit down.

You're on medication. You can't drink.

The boss and the clients toasted me.

If I explain too much, it'll kill the mood.

I just bit the bullet and went with it.

How are you feeling now?

Should I find a place for you to lie down?

No need, I'm feeling much better.

I just broke out in a cold sweat and felt weak for a bit.

Hold on a second.

(Uncle)

(Is everything okay?)

(Everything's good. Don't worry.)

(I'll pick you up in half an hour.)

(Okay.)

Here, it's hot.

Thank you, Ms. Zeng.

I think you're weak after surgery.

This is ginseng tea. Brew it and drink it while it's still hot.

Thanks.

Biting the bullet and drinking with clients,

even when feeling unwell.

I did the same thing when I was young.

I'm feeling much better, Ms. Zeng.

Take a good rest.

Hello, hubby.

My car had some trouble today. Could you come pick me up?

(Piaoyue Hotel, Jiangzhou City)

(I'm almost done here.)

Sun Han Han.

Ms. Zeng.

Are you feeling better?

Much better. Are you leaving?

My husband is coming to get me.

How are you getting home? Do you need a ride?

No, my friend is picking me up. He should be here soon.

All right then.

Hello, sir. You can't park here.

Just five minutes. I'm picking someone up.

All right, sir.

No need to walk me out.

My friend should be here soon. I'll wait for him outside.

Thank you.

Hubby.

I'll head off, then.

-Ms. Zeng, bye. -Bye.

Let's go.

Nothing happened

between you two, right?

Come on.

I just had surgery. What could possibly happen?

Not even a kiss

or a hug?

He didn't even lay a finger on me.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Why would a man treat you so well

if he wasn't after something?

I know.

He's just trying to lure you in with these little favors

so that you can't escape

and eventually throw yourself at him.

Why would someone as strong as Zeng Cheng

fall for such a phony guy,

and love him so much?

She was calling him "hubby" so sweetly.

I really feel sorry for her.

Let's leave right now.

I have my limits.

Once someone crosses them, it's over for good.

You haven't had your stitches removed yet.

I can get them removed anywhere else.

I never want to see him again.

I'll delete and block him from my life.

I don't need his petty little favors.

As if some hospital bills are going to impress me.

You have a prepaid balance from Mr. Zhou, so you don't need to pay anything.

I don't need Mr. Zhou's money. I'll pay now. Give me the bill.

Okay, please wait a moment.

That's a huge bill. Is it really worth it?

I refuse to take advantage of him.

Besides, I need to do something to show him how angry I am.

Fair enough.

We can't let people look down on us.

We have our pride too.

After the discount, it's 59,180 yuan.

Will you be paying by e-wallet or card?

-Give me a second. -Okay.

I have money in my card. I can transfer it to you.

No need.

This bill is too expensive. I can't afford it.

We can't just leave like this.

It's not like I asked to come here.

I said I'd leave after the surgery, but he insisted I stay longer.

Since his intentions weren't pure, he should pay the price.

Hello, we'll use Mr. Zhou's balance.

No problem. Just have Mr. Zhou come by and sign the papers later.

Thanks.

I got cheated.

I got tricked without even realizing it.

I felt so embarrassed that I can't even say he's a liar.

What did he trick you with?

He didn't even lay a finger on me.

From beginning to end,

the only one with any feelings was me.

The real issue is that he's scummy.

He has a wife and didn't make that clear,

yet he's out here flirting with another woman.

His intentions were bad.

Exactly.

Men are really terrible.

By the way, how's that big scholar you were seeing?

What's the latest news?

I blocked him.

He has a girlfriend.

He has a girlfriend?

How do you know?

Someone saw him with her, of course.

I'm lucky like that.

Can't breathe?

Don't you think it's good?

The universe is looking out for us,

making sure we didn't waste more time on them.

Sleep.

The food will be ready soon.

Have you talked to Qu Yi Peng about going to Hong Kong?

I don't know how to bring it up.

I've had the urge

to just break up with him a few times already.

I think he senses it too.

We both seem to be waiting for that day

but are afraid of it at the same time.

You just don't want to be the one at fault who initiated the breakup,

so you can keep a clean conscience.

Did you have to put it so bluntly?

When I was young, I was just like you.

I pushed myself hard, and I wanted my man to be strong too.

I put too much pressure on men.

So does that mean women have to settle for less if they're doing well?

Not necessarily.

I've realized one thing.

Women seek out strong men because we're weak.

Essentially it's survival instincts.

But if a woman becomes confident enough in herself,

why does the man still need to be stronger?

The food is ready.

-The food is ready. -Coming.

Stop overthinking it. Come and eat.

Thanks.

Dig in.

Don't let what I said kill your appetite.

But let me tell you, you can't always be strong.

When you're truly strong on the inside,

you'll be able to show vulnerability in front of men without feeling burdened.

Give me a break.

I'm nowhere near as strong as you.

For now,

I don't have the courage to break up with him,

nor do I have the courage to confess my determination to stay with him.

I'm stuck.

What should I do?

Let him be the one to speak up.

Going to Hong Kong and breaking up are two separate things.

If he really loves you, he'll show it.

It's not about Hong Kong, the US, or Europe.

Time and distance aren't the real problems.

The real issue is commitment.

The only thing that can defeat love

is the lack of it.

(True Love)

You don't have the looks.

Your delivery and emphasis are also all off.

You need more practice.

All right, go.

Thank you, Director.

Director, hello, look at me.

The only thing we require is good acting.

I'm a great actress.

I've tricked eight men,

and at my peak, I was dating two at the same time.

Director, look at me.

You want to try out too?

I really want this.

But...

But I have never tricked a woman.

I...

I've always been genuine in my relationships,

given them my heart,

but they've always dumped me.

All right, you're in.

Why him?

When it comes to love,

men are naturally better actors than women.

You'll have to accept that.

Thank you, Director.
