[Who's the Boss]

[Episode 13]

I'm sorry.

No way.

Wang Cunfeng, again?

♫ I'm going to love you ♫

♫ Whether the world allows it or not ♫

♫ Ignoring rumors, it pours like rain ♫

If I could just watch Yun from this close,

then how wonderful it would be to hold her hand?

Zhou, what do you think Gao Shuangyun is really thinking about?

Do you think it'd be okay if I just called her,

or went to her house right now to talk to her about it?

Don't be impulsive.

But we can't

be waiting forever.

What if she doesn't take our side?

I think we should let her cool down and think it over.

Anyway, I believe

that Yun will probably take some action when she goes to work on Monday.

We'll just play it by ear when the time comes.

She's so upset right now.

Pressuring her will only backfire.

Alright, that makes sense.

It's dawn already.

Okay, you guys go back to sleep.

I can go back to sleep now.

You must have been pretending to sleep.

No, I wasn't.

I heard a buzzword while I was sleeping.

And that woke me up.

Thanks for letting me off the hook.

You looked like you were really sleeping.

I was sleeping really well.

It's not that I don't support you.

The weekend is precious for office workers.

We need to wash clothes and change the bed sheets, right?

The vacuum robot needs to be charged too.

Alright, be careful on your way home.

Then I'll take my leave as well.

You guys should rest early.

Okay, you be careful on your way back.

Zhou, bye.

She…

I'm not sleepy yet, I'll stay and keep you company.

But I'm sleepy, you should go back to sleep.

- You don't need to clean up, I'll do it. - Are you sure?

- Really, go back and sleep. - But these…

- I don't need it. - Let me do it.

Come on, go back, I'll do it myself.

- It's okay, I'll help you clean it up. - No, you go back.

- What about these? - Don't worry, go back.

- Alright then. - Go.

- Remember to lock the door. - Okay, good night.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

It's nothing.

It's just older sisters meeting a young, fresh guy.

It's just a bit of hormonal admiration.

It's fine, very good.

[Zhang Shiping] Wishing you a pleasant holiday today.

Shiping, will you be free later?

Ex-wife.

I can't believe I didn't know you had an ex-wife.

We have been divorced for many years.

She has been living in the U.S. for most of these years.

Our lives have not intersected for a long time.

Yun, I really love you very much.

I hid it from you

because I was afraid you couldn't accept that I had a marriage before.

Do you still love her then?

Of course, I don't.

Other than paying her alimony,

we basically have no contact at all.

You say you don't love her.

But you gave her the same bracelet as you gave me.

What does that mean?

It was really just a coincidence.

Mr. Han, excuse me.

I have just entered your membership information.

It shows that you have already reserved a bracelet.

It must be your wife who reserved it for you, right?

Would you like to purchase another one today?

My wife?

She's not even in Taiwan.

Why keep the bracelet?

It's okay.

Just check out both bracelets for me together.

- Okay. - But…

- Please pack them separately, thank you. - All right, understood.

Please wait a moment.

[Jiang Manfei]

I've got the bracelet you reserved.

I'll send it to you.

No need to reply once you receive it.

I mean it.

At that moment, I didn't want to explain so much to a stranger.

That's why I checked out together.

Yun, my feelings for you are genuine.

I can swear.

No need.

I'm very clear about how you've treated me over the years.

But right now my mind is really messy.

I've found that you seem to be dishonest with me.

You're keeping a lot of things from me.

I can't think straight right now.

I need to calm down.

Yun, please believe me.

♫ I'm going to love you ♫

♫ Whether the world allows it or not ♫

♫ Ignoring rumors, it pours like rain ♫

I didn't expect you to be so romantic.

I've also prepared a picnic basket, red wine, and cheese.

I've even deliberately prepared an '85 Lafite.

Don't take that out yet.

The balloons I wanted you to prepare

is for playing games with Yi.

Not that one.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

So, what are we…

Now is the time to test your lung capacity.

Cindy.

Can this really solve the question Yi asked me?

I'm not sure either.

But at least we have to try.

It depends on how you reason with her afterwards.

I'm thinking if when I was young,

my dad or some auntie was willing to enlighten me,

or if they had a talk with me.

Maybe my personality would have been a bit warmer.

I think you're very warm.

At least the warmth you have makes me feel comfortable.

Not scalding.

That's you.

My colleagues don't think so.

That's because they haven't felt it wholeheartedly.

You really have a way with words.

Can I ask you a question?

Forget it.

Go ahead.

Beating around the bush isn't like you.

Did you and Yi's mother divorce, or…

She fell ill and passed away when Yi was two.

There was one time,

I asked Yi if she still remembers what her mother looked like.

She shook her head at me.

Yi has been with me since she was little.

That's why she has such a strong attachment to me.

Yes, life is unpredictable.

Sorry to have brought up something that makes you unhappy.

It's okay, that's why I cherish the present even more now.

By the way, when does Yi come back from dance class?

She should be back soon, I guess.

Focus on tying it properly.

Then we might need to hurry.

The rules of the game

are to take the balloons from here to the open space on the other side.

Adults can only use one hand.

Children have no restrictions.

The one who gets more balloons is the winner.

Time it for one minute.

One minute.

The winner gets to make a wish from the loser.

Is that okay?

- Got it. - Got it.

Are you ready?

- Ready. - Ready.

Are you confident?

- Yes. - Yes.

Get set.

♫ Walk slowly ♫

♫ Secretly thinking of you ♫

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

You're taking too many!

One hand only!

Come on, quickly!

Go for it!

♫ Waiting for you secretly ♫

Hurry up!

You're blocking me.

Quickly!

Time's up!

Let me count them, wait a second.

Okay, it's pretty clear who won.

So, the winner and loser please discuss.

What wish do you want to make?

Okay.

I'll go get some water.

Yi, how is it?

Aunt Cindy thought of a fun game, right?

Did you ever think you would lose at the beginning?

Daddy's hand is bigger than mine.

And can hold so many balloons.

Since that's the case,

why did you want to play at the beginning?

Is it because you wanted to play with me?

And even if you lose, you would lose happily, right?

So, do you know?

Making friends is actually a lot like playing games.

The focus isn't on the outcome.

But on the process in between.

You'll have a lot of fun.

Just like daddy befriends Aunt Cindy.

As long as you don't hate this process,

even just like when we play games.

You clearly know you won't win,

but you still want to play with dad, right?

Daddy promises you,

I definitely won't make you take sides.

I'm not Anderson.

So, I won't forbid you from playing with Elsa, okay?

So, I let you be friends with Aunt Cindy.

Are you two going to be in a relationship now?

That's more or less the idea.

Okay, you two can kiss now.

Yi, it's not polite to say that.

What do you mean I'm not polite?

Anderson's sister said,

dating means you have to kiss.

But dating isn't just about kissing.

Often, just being together

can make two people very happy.

But still, in a relationship, kissing happens, right?

You're right.

Then hurry up and kiss.

I just thought of something.

What's that?

I won the game just now, right?

I haven't made a wish yet.

Daddy, what wish will you make?

Daddy's wish is…

I'll kiss Cindy

when the lights are beautiful and the atmosphere is good.

Okay?

Please sit.

Okay.

Aunt Cindy, let me tell you.

My daddy has been very busy lately.

Try not to bother him.

Okay.

And then he doesn't like not eating on time.

And he also doesn't like…

Is she still sleeping?

Forget it, when the time comes,

there she goes again, overthinking everything.

Your past-life lover really loves you, you know.

She told me a lot about your secretive side.

I admit there is a bit of a contrast.

But it should not be unspeakable, right?

You, Director Zhang, you know…

Must not go hungry,

and you fight with kids for gummy bears.

That's still not unspeakable, is it?

I was just pretending for Yi to see.

Yi didn't like eating when she was little.

I did it to get her to develop

the habit of eating on time.

The habit of obediently eating her meals.

So, that's why I told her

that I get unhappy whenever I'm hungry.

As for those gummy bears you mentioned.

I didn't want her to eat something so sweet.

So, I had to fight her for them.

I see.

Actually, you don't need to explain so much.

Eating candy is not a big deal.

Besides, I think it's quite cute.

Makes sense.

The lighting is beautiful, the atmosphere is great.

He surely isn't thinking of…

[Meng Heng]

♫ I'm going to love you ♫

♫ Whether the world allows it or not ♫

♫ Ignoring rumors, it pours like rain ♫

Here it comes.

Here it comes, Wang Cunfeng.

This moment has finally arrived.

- The pigeons. - What happened?

Did they leave?

You back off first.

Okay, backing off.

I'm coming down.

Okay.

What's there to be afraid of pigeons?

Can we please leave here first? Let's go.

What's wrong?

I must have twisted my foot in the excitement just now.

I'll be fine with some ice when I get back.

- I'll be fine with some ice when I get back. - No, that won't do.

Walking on a sprain will make it worse.

I'll carry you.

Okay.

- Thank you. - Don't be afraid.

Two, three, here.

Ready?

Excuse me, could you walk a bit faster?

- I'm afraid pigeons will come over. - Okay.

So, you're afraid of pigeons.

What's there to be scared of pigeons?

Don't you think pigeons stare at people?

You know, when I was little, I used to hold bread.

They just kept chasing me, non-stop.

And they kept cooing, scared me to death.

What are you sneakily doing here?

You scared me to death.

Why are you…

So, you weren't sleeping inside?

Yeah, I'm afraid I might overthink things.

I went to see a friend.

What kind of friend? Male or female?

Where have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone?

Coming back so late.

Mr. Meng, in what capacity and attitude

are you asking me these questions?

I…

It depends on who you hope I am.

Has anyone said that your eyelashes are long, like a girl's?

Quite a few people have said that.

Step aside.

If you go out, you could have looked for me.

Why didn't you call me?

I have free time, too.

No.

Your place is just across.

I'm thirsty. I'll go to your place for a drink of water.

My water just boiled.

It's too hot. I can't drink it.

Isn't it so, isn't there an instant water heater in your place?

What boiled water are you talking about?

Right, it's not…

Wait a moment.

Are you really that heartless?

I'm going to get dehydrated. I haven't had any water all day.

I can't take it much longer…

Go home to sleep after drinking.

You should go to bed early.

Yesterday while playing games, I saw your dark circles were really bad.

You're the one with the pimples, look.

Where?

I've finished drinking.

Yes.

I'll head back first, bye.

♫ In the end, what can still ♫

Why don't you clean up after drinking the water?

♫ Can no longer believe in right and wrong ♫

♫ The boundless sea of stars ♫

♫ Because you expect ♫

♫ To become no longer illusory ♫

This brat is actually quite considerate.

♫ Those past hurts ♫

♫ The involuntary evil ♫

[Manager's Office] ♫ All are left behind ♫

All these documents have been signed.

Just follow the procedure and upload it to the cloud.

Thank you.

I must say.

Your logistics hub concept is really convenient.

No matter what position,

your work ability is always so great.

No wonder even the people from the planning department come to borrow you.

Borrow me?

Anyway, about the sustainable housing in Taoyuan.

We still need to formulate a strategy for future sales.

You should stay in the planning department for the next few days.

Oh yes, Meng Heng's assignment should also be almost done.

I've already revoked your authorization.

Miss Gao, are you sure you want to do this?

You'll accumulate some work experience in the planning department,

which will be good for you as well.

Anyway, don't do anything for the next few days.

Just focus on the sustainable home project.

Or, Director Zhang might have a better position for you.

You could consider it.

Let it be for now; don't come back for the next few days.

If this is your decision,

then I'll respect it.

I bought the red bean cakes you love to eat.

How long have you been here?

I'm very worried about you.

I thought I'd come over to see how you're doing.

I'll give you a ride to work.

Get in the car first.

Good, I also have something to tell you.

Yun, I truly have only you.

Not just Landscape Development,

the matter of you taking kickbacks as the acting business department manager.

Cindy knows about it too.

How did Cindy…

How she knows is not the point.

Promise me,

you won't do such things again in the future.

I promise you.

I won't do it again.

But regarding Cindy…

You don't need to worry about Cindy.

You'll go to work as usual today.

I'll handle the company matters.

Give it to me.

Thank you.

She intentionally reassigned me.

Clearly, she doesn't want me to investigate further.

I really didn't expect Miss Gao to be this kind of person.

I always thought she was very upright and intelligent.

Miss Gao is not that kind of person.

She isn't the type to not distinguish right from wrong.

She must have been deceived by Vice President Han to act this way.

Duomi was right after all.

Women become foolish when it comes to love.

This matter is really difficult to handle.

Why didn't you say something earlier?

At that time, we didn't have solid evidence and didn't dare to publicize it.

Yes, Chen.

Originally, we were worried

that if they found out we were investigating this matter,

and then became guarded.

Then it would be even harder for us to find evidence.

And yet, we've been discovered now.

Chen, what should we do now?

If this issue isn't handled well,

you'll all be branded as traitors to your superiors.

By then, no one will dare to employ you.

My reputation is already not good.

Anyway, everyone hates me, so, it doesn't matter to me.

Indeed, I don't mind.

I believe there is fairness and justice in this world.

If Vice President Han has truly made a mistake,

then I can't be a silent accomplice.

Zhou, a real man.

But now, if this matter is to reach the highest levels,

and let the CEO know.

We must have solid evidence.

But now they are already on guard, right?

Unless…

I use my position,

and their guilty conscience…

Vice President Han, please have some tea.

Thank you. Did the CEO mention what he wants to see me for?

Mr. Cai didn't say.

You were just instructed to wait here for him a moment.

Okay.

Do you need anything else, Vice President Han?

Coffee, snacks, or magazines?

No, thank you.

Hello? Yes, he's still here.

Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on him.

Alright, okay.

[Uncle] I've been sitting in Mr. Cai's office for ages.

I feel like something's not right.

[Yun] What's not right?

I think Chen seems to be

intentionally trapping me here to monitor me.

Monitoring you, why does Chen need to monitor you?

They couldn't possibly have taken the boss to my house, could they?

Zhou has the password to my house.

Don't panic, I'll go check if Zhou is in.

[Data Room]

Miss Gao.

Are you looking for Vice President?

He just happens to be out.

Is there anything I can help you with?

I want to discuss the Landscape Development case with him.

If he's not in, then please leave it on his desk.

Sure, no problem.

Then, you carry on.

Okay, goodbye.

[Data Room]

[A New Message]

[Middle-Aged Detective Group] Miss Gao just came by.

Just as Chen said, they are indeed making a move.

Fortunately, the boss is out playing golf all day today.

I can play to my strengths.

Zhou is at his seat.

I think you better go home for a bit.

Help me take away the laptop, cash, and passbook.

It's safer that way.

I'll tell you where to put the stuff.

I must say, Chen, this camera of yours is really powerful.

The autofocus is super fast.

It takes crystal clear pictures no matter what.

It's really clear.

But what do you need such a good camera for?

Is bird-watching your hobby?

No, not really.

What's this?

- This is… - Cool.

These, no need, no need to look at these.

- What kind of group is this? - That's not the point.

No, that's not the point.

The point is what's in Miss Gao's hands.

Right.

It must be criminal evidence.

Yes, so what's in that box

is a laptop and cash.

But that painting…

It's always in the movies.

Money laundering, paintings are used for laundering money.

That's a possibility.

Because the Deputy General Manager does indeed deal with several art galleries.

I'll look into this tomorrow.

So, what happened next? Where did Gao Shuangyun go?

I saw her get into a taxi,

and then she went straight home.

Just when there was a bit of progress, we're stuck again.

How are we supposed to go to her house now?

Wait a minute, I know her home password.

I have taken her home before.

Gao Shuangyun, please think it over with the little rationality you have left.

Is your password your birthday?

It's my dad's birthday.

Too lucky, right?

Justice is indeed on the side of the heavens.

Now that all the evidence is in hand.

I just want to give everyone a proper thanks.

If it weren't for everyone's help,

it wouldn't have gone so smoothly, thank you.

It is I who should thank you.

Especially me.

You know this period has been my many years as a secretary.

The first time I felt that…

having partners

with a common goal working together.

Also the first time I felt within the company.

That I could indeed be so not alone.

Chen.

You've never been alone.

It's okay, no problem.

Actually, I'm still very happy.

And I have a secret weapon.

I think after Miss Gao sees this secret weapon.

He'll confess everything.

[Middle-aged Detective Team] Hey, how did you know about Miss Gao?

She's bound to be at this coffee shop.

Even though I am in the planning department.

I am still her secretary.

Her calendar is shared with the secretary.

So, I'm certain she'll be there.

They've met, here they come.

Quick, they've met.

Can tables be joined together?

What a coincidence, I also like the view from this side.

Please sit.

Excuse me, I'll get you a hot Americano.

- Thank you. - Please enjoy.

Your bracelet

is very pretty.

Yes, it's very pretty.

What a coincidence, I have one too.

It seems our tastes are quite similar.

Even the men we like are the same.

Hello, my name is Jiang Manfei.

You can also call me Mrs. Han.

[Business Department]

Has everyone felt that today's office atmosphere is very nice?

The air has become so fresh.

I thought I was the only one who thought so.

It seems the essential oil I ordered is very effective.

Let me tell you.

The seller also claimed it could attract romance.

It seems I won't be single for much longer.

I think you'd be better off buying something to boost your wisdom.

Yazi was saying Cindy isn't here.

So, everything turned out pretty great.

I didn't realize.

But Cindy doesn't know at which step she went wrong.

Originally, she was the rising star in the business department.

Now things have turned out like this.

Perhaps she would perform better if she left.

If she had resigned at that time,

perhaps her career development would've been not bad either.

[Planning Department Secretary Li]

Hey, loan.

I don't need it, I don't need it.

Right, don't call again.

Don't, okay.

Weird, I installed an app to filter out spam calls on my phone.

How come it keeps calling?

I want some coffee, does anyone else want some?

- You drink, I don't need it. - Me.

I'll go with you.

Bro, no need.

You injured your hand, it's not convenient.

- I'll do it. - It's nothing.

I can help you with that, no need for formalities between us.

Leave it to me.

You're good with words.

Not bad.

- Chief, - Thanks Guo, I'll do it.

Make it a bit hotter.

Okay, consider it done.

Sorry, we just had too many people in the department earlier.

- Walls have ears. - It's okay, I understand.

I called you to tell you

I've already given your resume to our manager Wu.

So…

It looked like he was quite interested in you from his expression.

Really?

And I also told him

that you are capable,

better than Xu Yazi.

Just unrecognized talent.

If you come to our Planning Department,

and just give you a stage,

you'll definitely perform even better.

You really spoke up for me like that, thank you.

If this goes through, I'll definitely treat you to a meal.

Remember what you said.

I won't be polite about it when the time comes.

What's the problem then?

Right, didn't Cindy Wang go to your planning department?

So, what is she doing there?

The responsibility is quite significant.

Will Cindy Wang take my place?

[Exceptionally Talented] Exceptionally talented.

Who's there?

[Exceptionally Talented] It's me!

Come, water it.

Be careful, that's not how you water it.

You should first feel its moisture with your finger.

Right, like this one is a bit too wet.

So, don't water this one anymore.

- Right. - Okay.

You can feel the others like this one.

This one here needs a bit more water.

Then, there's another thing.

When you're taking care of them,

there's another more important thing.

You need to talk to them, you need to compliment them.

Only then will they truly grow better.

I mean it.

It…

Come on, I'll do it.

Each and every plant here

is like a big family in our planning department.

You see, Yi is this one.

Quick Yitong.

- Li Mi is the beautiful Li, right? - Okay.

Jia, Jia Baby.

[Gao Yan Plant] So this one is the Gao Yan plant.

You didn't do this to welcome me, did you?

That's my French Bulldog.

[Gao Yan Plant] Look at these big families.

And I am like the head of the planning department family.

Responding to each of their different characteristics.

I take special care of them.

The planning department is truly a warm family.

Yeah, I know you've only been here for a few days,

but I heard that you're pretty capable at your job.

Have you ever considered working with us here?

Let me tell you, here we all meet the big boss.

You'll definitely have a chance to marry into a wealthy family.

More so than that, what's his name, Director Zhang.

He's very rich, you know.

Thank you, Manager Wu.

I feel that in the business department,

there's still a lot for me to learn.

Is that so?

Well, if you're busy, then I'll leave first.

Okay.

Tianfu.

I'm thinking about that Guo Shijie

should be in the bag for us.

Very good, continue.

By the way, use Cindy's resume too

to apply for the director position with us.

The more chaotic the business department is, the better, okay?

But what's the benefit for our planning department in this?

What the benefit is isn't important.

It will be beneficial for us in the future.

You have to trust the decisions I make.

You do whatever I tell you to do, okay?

I absolutely trust you.

I'm the only person in the whole company who trusts you the most.

I want you to buy a gift for the boss's driver.

Have you done it?

It's all taken care of.

I've even added a way to contact him.

Tonight's socializing with Director Chen, then…

Come with me.

Okay, tonight at seven.

To avoid traffic, we'll leave the company at five-thirty.

I've also prepared two parting gifts.

Perhaps our positions differ.

But Mr. Han

is definitely not as perfect as you imagine.

I don't want you to be as foolish as I was when I was young.

Having lost everything myself.

[Jingdu Construction Organization]

Chen, you're really strong.

You know everything.

Truly an old-timer of the company.

Of course.

So, when you guys were saying the vice president was cheating,

I thought, I clearly remember him being married.

But I never got

the message that he got divorced, right?

So, I immediately went back

to find my wedding invitation file and address book.

And that's how I found Mrs. Han.

It's Gao Shuangyun.

The secret weapon worked, it worked.

Hello, Miss Gao.

[When All Secrets Are Unveiled]

[Do We Have the Courage to Love Regardless of Everything]

[Next Episode] If you are short on money, you can tell me.

I need to find a way to get rid of her.

Or do you have something on her?

Have you never considered that I'm pretending not to know on purpose

to let you come close and teach me?

You need to be careful of this person, Wu Tianfu.

You might as well get sterilized.

That would settle everything.

Please sign this.

Let's put an end to it.

Me, Han Xinzheng.
