[Who's the Boss]

[Episode 19]

Why are you drinking alone here?

Not really.

No?

You should drink upstairs.

Otherwise, you might catch a cold here.

You know my pops

is up there.

What?

Nothing.

Let's go somewhere.

Where?

You'll know once we get there.

No.

Come on.

There are handsome guys.

Are you sure?

Okay then.

Good night.

What are you doing?

Give it back to me, stop it now.

- Hurry up. - Let's go.

Come and take it.

You're being childish. Come on.

You're so annoying.

Again?

Come on.

Wait up, it's spilling, it's spilled already

It's spilled already!

My clothes are going to get ruined.

[Be careful of the left railing]

♫ I'm going to love you ♫

♫ Whether the world allows it or not ♫

You are really annoying.

Go away.

♫ I'm going to love you ♫

♫ No matter who disapproves ♫

[Be careful of the left railing] Have you calmed down a bit?

Even if I have calmed down,

it won't change the situation.

How so?

Whether to change it or not is up to you.

You don't understand.

This is called being helpless in life's currents.

Can't you change your path?

If you're unhappy with your job,

change it for another one.

You're so strong.

That last sentence you just said,

say it again.

You are so… terrible.

- Hurry up! - So strong.

Have you exchanged the tokens yet?

- You've changed so many. - Keep going.

There are so many.

Beat until you vomit.

Come on.

I'm asking one more time.

Who leaked the developer's list

to the planning department?

Guys, now is not the time to cover for each other.

Once the planning department has this list,

they can provide an end-to-end service.

The sales department will be marginalized.

Are you playing the thief crying 'catch the thief' right now?

What do you mean?

Apart from you,

who else has the list?

Yingjun,

that list was originally on your computer.

You've always had it.

There was clearly no issue.

Why did it leak exactly at this time?

Isn't the timing just perfect?

Speak with evidence if you have any, alright?

And what benefit does it yield for me to leak it?

Benefit? Why would you ask me about the benefit?

You should ask yourself.

Stop hinting around, say it directly.

Alright, stop arguing.

I will look into this matter thoroughly.

No matter who it is,

once busted, they get fired.

Even if it's Cindy.

What are you doing?

Why are you lying to me?

Yingjun, what are you talking about?

It's out of the blue.

That developer's list,

turns out you weren't using it to find a job.

You were going to give it to Wu Tianfu from the planning department.

You know, I was forced

by the society's rules.

Who knew this was the task assigned to me

when I went to the planning department?

And I couldn't even refuse.

Please.

We've worked together for years.

Don't you know the sales department is in a terrible state right now?

You've ruined me!

I didn't know Manager Wu was so ruthless.

And he acted so quickly.

I just handed it to him,

and he took the whole bowl instantly.

It's great.

Your job is safe now,

but what about me and Cindy?

We're about to get fired, you know?

It shouldn't be that bad, should it?

You think so?

Miss Gao.

I really didn't leak the list.

I know.

When I said would fire the one who leaked the list,

it was mainly to let them know the severity of the situation.

Now, apart from finding that person,

the most important thing is to deal with the aftermath.

I know.

I will visit the developers

poached by the planning department.

Oh right.

You should check on the other developers on the list

and arrange meetings with them as soon as possible.

Okay, I know. Personal interactions do count, after all.

Wait.

In desperation, people really can make a mess of things.

Let's go, confess to Yun.

Yingjun, calm down a bit.

- Calm down, don't be impulsive. - Let's go.

Maybe there's a perfect solution to this.

By the time you think of it,

I'll be done for.

What are you two doing?

I got it.

Yingjun, are you interrogating Guo

about why the planning department got

the developer's list, right?

Well done.

Continue to question him.

I'm going to get these to Miss Gao.

You were about to make it clear

but when we saw Cindy, you gave up.

Yingjun,

since you also dare not admit it,

shall we just keep silent?

Look, you take me to turn myself in.

My position in the planning department will be ruined,

and you can't even save yourself.

Let's just pretend it never happened.

Okay?

Silence means consent, you know.

Calm down a bit, okay? I still have work, I'll go first.

Calm down, okay?

Guo Shijie, Guo…

But…

I know the planning department has contacted you.

Can we talk about the details when we meet?

Yes, it was Vice President Han who previously contacted you.

How about we switch to pretty ladies

Cindy Wang and me, Zhang Xiaoting

this time?

Okay, goodbye.

Yazi.

Do you think the developer will feel

that our company is strange?

I don't know, we can only communicate slowly.

It's clearly someone's improper handling of data that leaked it,

and now our whole department is cleaning up the mess.

Are you referring to me when you say 'someone'?

What do you think?

We're all colleagues.

Helping each other out

is only right.

Exactly.

I'm sorry, guys.

I should have been the only one contacting these land developers.

Thank you for your help.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You guys should stop now.

Have something to eat first,

and then get off work early.

I can handle the rest by myself.

Off work?

I'll go first.

Come on, you guys can stop now.

Have something to eat first.

You can eat it here

or

take it home.

Thank you.

I will stay.

We'll face it together.

It's okay.

Right, I've contacted so many developers already.

It's not much left now.

Besides, it's the anniversary celebration period now.

Outside is more dangerous than here.

I'd better behave

so as not to end up broke next month.

That's actually true.

Thank you all.

Where is Yazi?

She's gone?

How disloyal.

Have your wings gotten strong?

No, I'm going to prepare

gifts for visiting the developers.

Here.

Take this and eat it on the way.

Thank you.

Thank you, Cindy.

You're welcome.

Wait for me, I'll come back and continue the work with you.

- Keep it up. - Keep it up.

Manager.

Guo.

What's the rush to find me in such a hurry?

Manager, I am thinking

can we consider

using another way for land development?

You know the planning department and the sales department not crossing lines

has been an unspoken agreement all along.

Guo.

Do you know what success is?

No, Manager,

but we have already harmed people this way.

Does your family own a mine?

No.

Then on what basis do you play the generous big philanthropist?

Let me tell you,

success

is about adapting to circumstances by hook or by crook.

Don't be held hostage by professional ethics.

Good, come, have a seat.

Sit down.

Thank you, Manager.

Guo, let me ask you.

Why did you decide to switch jobs to our planning department?

I wanted to get promoted

and find opportunities.

You wanted to get promoted

and find opportunities?

The ultimate goal

is to hope for a higher salary.

Let me remind you of one more thing.

Vice President Han, do you remember him?

Do you remember how much money he embezzled from the company?

And the result?

All was settled after the money was repaid.

Did the boss sue him?

Why?

Because suing him would take time.

For successful, wealthy people,

time is money.

What you are doing now

is buying us time.

As long as we have time,

we will have

money.

Guo.

You lean back.

Lean back, let's do it together.

Feel this place.

Don't you really wish to have

a home of your own?

As long as you work hard,

we can definitely make money.

From now on,

never work for others again

or take others' money.

Cindy.

Sorry, but I'm going to see a client later,

so, could you please upload this information to the cloud for me?

- Okay, no problem. - Thank you.

Also, you don't need to feel sorry.

You are the ones who are having a tough time now.

I'm the one who should be sorry.

Cindy.

The one who should apologize isn't you.

It's the teammate who leaked the list.

When I find that bad guy,

I'll definitely punch him to death.

- Yingjun, - I arranged it in that order.

Okay, thank you.

- Okay. - There's a lot.

Meng Heng.

Didn't you take leave to go back to school?

What are you doing here?

I was thinking…

Don't tell me you're already used to being a corporate slave,

and can't wait to join the ranks of the oppressed, huh?

I just missed you guys.

Alright, I'll get back to work.

- Okay. - Thanks for your trouble again.

- Alright. - Okay.

What's up?

Are you free?

What now?

I have a secret to tell you.

- What is it? - Hurry up.

What's the matter?

This is very serious.

You can't just blabber about it.

I'm not blabbering.

I have proof.

Wait a second.

Didn't you take a day off to go back to school?

How do you know about this?

Yazi complained in the chat group without you.

So, I asked Chen Han what was going on.

And I don't know why, but that night,

my gut told me

that something was off.

Let's go.

So I turned on Yingjun's computer.

But when I opened it, there was some sort of print record.

I didn't understand it,

but I took a photo of it.

I can't believe Guo would do such a thing.

This…

Do you think this evidence is enough?

Otherwise, should we check the surveillance camera?

Because they left together that night.

You're home so late today.

Working overtime again, huh?

Look what this is.

Also,

what is this?

What beautiful flowers!

That health food looks really tasty.

[New Sweet] Pops, you're so considerate!

This is what Mr. Zhang sent you.

He was afraid you were in a bad mood,

and sent you flowers, for you to look at.

He was afraid you were too tired from working overtime

and gave you this health supplement.

Also,

he also gave you a card.

I definitely didn't peek.

You obviously did.

I really didn't look.

So you guys

made up?

I know.

You don't want to run into that Han, right?

I know you've been wronged.

But in life,

there are no permanent enemies.

Right?

How old are you now?

Throwing a little temper tantrum should be enough.

Don't be like a child

throwing a fit all day long.

Calling me out?

What about you then?

You've come to Taipei for days.

What about Mrs. Lin?

I…

I just told others that we are just good friends.

How can I have the face to go there again?

So you basically came to my place

to avoid romantic entanglements.

I'm suddenly feeling so sleepy.

I'm not arguing with you.

I'm going to sleep now.

Good night.

Your good companion in life

I know you've been busier lately.

So

I specially prepared a surprise

to let you relax a bit.

What is it? So mysterious.

I'm going to open my eyes now.

You can't.

Don't look yet.

You can't look.

I'll count to three.

Then you can open your eyes.

One.

Two.

Three.

Red bean cake.

Yes.

Do you like them?

Why is it red bean cake?

You were sick last time, right?

Wasn't there a red bean cake delivered to your house by mistake?

I noticed you paying attention to it.

So,

I tried making it myself.

You made these?

Yes, I did.

I went to the cooking class to borrow the equipment.

I also searched online for recipes

and adjusted the proportions myself.

Just thought I'd give it a try.

But…

This red bean cake is my first attempt.

So,

I'm not sure about the taste.

Do you want to know

why I like red bean cakes?

Yes, I do.

They say the first time is always the most beautiful.

To me, this red bean cake

holds special memories.

I especially brewed a cup of coffee for you.

And also,

here's your favorite red bean cake.

Yun, the administrator said it's for you.

Did you order delivery?

I wonder who it was for.

There's no name written.

Don't send things to my house anymore.

And don't ask the administrator about me anymore.

♫ It's my greatest anticipation ♫

♫ Fall in love with the present ♫

♫ Because of you ♫

But I believe

as long as you're willing to try,

sometimes things that seem the same

can actually

be different.

What do you mean?

You'll understand once you try it.

The inside…

Little pearls.

Well,

it is what you look like in my heart.

I always thought you were very clumsy.

I didn't expect you to have this side too.

I…

Is it good?

It's tasty.

I'll have one too.

Not bad.

How did you make it?

I've searched for many recipes on the internet.

I didn't know which one was correct.

So I just…

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

These were originally for me to do myself.

But because of someone,

I have too much to do and can't finish all.

Don't think that I'm pushing all the work onto you.

I only have 24 hours in a day, after all.

- So… - I will verify them.

Thank you.

Yazi's attitude was really not OK.

She's being really sour.

It's alright.

She's just under a lot of stress.

If this can help her relieve stress,

I'm OK with it too.

Cindy, you've changed a lot.

It feels like there's a halo behind you.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Since you're here, let me tell you.

Although we've uploaded the progress of Bosheng to the cloud,

if there are any documents that need to be verified,

they're inside this folder.

The hard ones, the rigid ones, this one.

This booklet.

And then,

if the finance department needs documents for verification,

I will organize them and put them here.

You can help me deliver them to the finance department.

I will label the more urgent ones in red.

No, wait a minute.

Why are you telling me all this?

It sounds like you're about to resign.

You're delegating responsibilities one by one.

For the remaining tasks that need to be assigned,

I will ask Yingjun to help.

But if there's any unfair distribution,

I apologize for making you work hard.

No way, Cindy.

Are you really leaving?

There always has to be a scapegoat.

Only if this matter comes to an end,

can everyone move forward, right?

I'll tell you when I've got it sorted.

Thanks a lot.

[Business Manager Office]

Impossible.

Just a few days ago you told me earnestly,

that you definitely weren't the one who leaked any secrets.

Now you're saying it was you again.

How do you expect me to believe you?

I was too scared that day,

so I lied.

Wang Cunfeng.

We've been colleagues for so long.

When we were competing before,

you guarded against me flawlessly.

You kept confidentiality better than anyone.

I just got careless for a moment

that it was such important data.

With your professionalism, it's impossible to be negligent.

- It's true, the list was really leaked by me. - Come on.

Who are you really trying to cover for?

Manager, I know who it is.

As for the matter of leaking the list,

I have already found evidence.

I know who did it.

Yingjun.

You should know

the data in the computer is very important, right?

Yes.

- I'm sorry. - Meng Heng.

Apologize to everyone.

What…

What? What do you mean?

- Meng Heng. - You.

I'm sorry, everyone.

I… I really didn't know

that things would turn out like this.

But how… How could it be you?

Because that day I left work later,

Guo happened to come looking for the list.

I just thought

that we were all from the same company.

It should be fine to give it to him.

I didn't know things would turn out like this.

I'm sorry.

You're just an intern.

Firing you won't help matters either,

but one learns from one's mistakes.

You must remember,

no matter which industry you are in,

a list is an important asset.

You can't just give it to others.

- Got it. - Right.

A list is as important as personal information.

If someone suddenly asks you for it,

there must be something fishy.

I apologize to everyone. It won't happen again.

But things can't just end like this, right?

Besides, Meng Heng is just an intern.

Punishing him is of no use.

If someone is to be punished, it should be the person in charge of him.

I'm in charge of Meng Heng now.

I'm willing to accept whatever punishment.

Punish me.

Let's settle it this way.

Let's discuss the disciplinary matters later.

I'll take Meng Heng to buy some snacks and drinks first.

Everyone else, go ahead with the meeting.

You're paying.

Of course.

I'll pay.

Meng Heng.

Do you think some snacks are going to buy us off?

Meng Heng is too incompetent.

But I really didn't expect it to be him.

- Okay, that will do. - Okay.

This is your pager.

- Pick up your order when it vibrates. Thank you. - Thank you, okay.

What are you doing?

Why are you taking the blame?

Then why are you taking the blame?

Because…

I know…

Yingjun has financial pressures.

But don't you?

Don't you also have a mortgage to pay?

You couldn't possibly have paid it off, right?

But if you did,

you can support me.

Stop joking around, will you?

Do you even know what you're doing?

I know, alright.

You protect Yingjun, and I'll protect you.

♫ In the end, what can still ♫

♫ Be upheld ♫

I don't need your protection.

Of course, I know that.

But even if you are going to resign,

you can't allow your resume to be tarnished, right?

Haven't you said before…

that your connections and qualifications

took great effort to build up?

How regrettable it would be to lose them just like that?

You're not like me.

I can afford not to care about anything.

Then how did you know I was going to take the blame?

I just happened to hear Xiaoting say

that you've assigned all your clients to her.

It's obvious what you're planning to do.

♫ Meeting you is the most beautiful accident ♫

Thank you.

You're really loyal.

♫ Such a lucky arrival ♫

♫ Meeting you is my greatest anticipation ♫

♫ Fall in love with the present ♫

Just like that?

Or what?

No sincerity.

Fine.

What do I have to do for you to believe I'm sincere?

Why are you smiling like that?

Strange.

Help me fulfill a small wish.

What wish?

Haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I do.

It can't be illegal.

And you can't force someone to do something they don't want to.

Of course not.

Mr. Wang, happy birthday.

Thank you.

Grandpa.

Happy Birthday.

Yi, my little treasure.

You're so well-behaved.

Pops, when is your birthday? I didn't know.

Mr. Wang, happy birthday.

Happy. When everyone's happy, I am happy.

The birthday person should make a wish.

I want to make a wish.

My first wish is…

Come on, you press it.

♫ No matter who disapproves ♫

Alright, let's go.

We'll compete in teams.

Come over here.

Let me tell you.

One dad pairs with one daughter.

Then I'm with Yi.

Shiping, you're with Chunfeng.

Then please take care of Yi.

No problem.

Then please take care of Chunfeng.

Let's go, Daddy.

Good daughter.

Actually,

today is not my dad's birthday.

I know.

You knew?

The last time I went to your hometown,

in your family's living room,

I saw it.

On your dad's medicine bag,

there was a birth date written.

And yet you still went along with him.

Why not?

Your dad clearly set up the game for me.

Wouldn't it be such a waste if I didn't take it?

And everyone had a lot of fun today.

Didn't they?

Do you know why he wanted to arrange this match today?

He probably hoped

that his precious daughter would teach me hands-on.

I'll only demonstrate once.

Watch closely.

Yes, teacher.

Pull it tight in front.

Cast it out.

Then the float will pop up.

[Han Xinzheng]

It's okay, you take it.

Really?

It's okay.

Go ahead.

Hello?

Okay.

I know.

The big director has already shown goodwill,

willing to reduce his design fee.

Doesn't this score points for your performance?

Yes, but…

Listen to me again.

If you're willing to face Han Xinzheng,

you'll be a magnanimous good woman

who understands the bigger picture.

Doesn't that earn you more points?

Yes, it does.

But I can't get over it in my heart.

Dear,

I know you can't get over it.

So this is the time for you to thoroughly

crush him.

So you're saying,

I was here, and then…

If it were me,

I would definitely take the opportunity to play a prank on him.

Chen Duomi, I feel, I feel you're different.

I feel like you've recently been

thinking.

I have a secret weapon.

My net friend gave me

an essential oil for unlocking wisdom.

I find it very effective.

It's invigorating and mind-awakening.

Be careful, let me tell you.

It seems to smell quite nice.

But I feel like this taste is very familiar.

It's like…

It seems like I've smelled it somewhere before.

So early in the morning, who is it?

Come in.

Good morning.

Zhou.

Didn't you say you were going to come to the office early today?

So I thought you probably hadn't had breakfast.

Smoked chicken sandwich.

No mayonnaise.

You remembered.

That's so thoughtful.

Of course.

Ever since

we started interning at the company together,

I noticed

that every time you order a sandwich,

you never add mayonnaise.

So I've remembered it all this time.

Also, during our company meals,

whenever there's meat on the menu,

you always choose chicken first.

Then I'll help myself.

Thank you.

What's this?

Don't open it yet.

Why?

I thought

when you are

bored in a meeting or feeling down,

you can open it.

So mysterious.

Can't I take a peek first?

No, it's a surprise.

You can't.

Being so secretive first thing in the morning.

This makes me very curious.

Anyway, it's a surprise.

Just promise me you won't open it.

Got it.

Enjoy your breakfast.

Don't go hungry.

I…

Go ahead with your work.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bro, good morning.

What's up?

Coming so early,

you're probably not here to talk about official business, right?

Bro.

I think I'm about to win.

Really? Are you serious?

How is it going on your end?

Very good.

Incredibly great, yeah!

You better watch out.

We still don't know who will win or lose.

Right, it's not over yet.

You are also quite impressive.

Meng Heng.

In the race between the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise wins in the end.

You can do it, tortoise.

Wait.

You can do it, Meng Heng.

I've generally greeted all the developers now.

Everyone has been working hard these days.

Actually, the boss knows about this too.

However, it's quite obvious

he doesn't want to get involved between us and the planning department.

No wonder they say Manager Wu has strong backing at the company,

with the boss supporting him.

But clearly, it's the planning department's fault.

Why doesn't the boss take action against him?

Wu Tianfu fought side by side with the boss in the old days.

He's an old comrade-in-arms.

Unless he messes up big time,

it's hard to take him down.

But we can't just let the planning department people

bully us like this, right?

I agree.

We should teach Wu Tianfu a lesson.

Then let's all think together

about how to make the planning department learn respect.

I have an idea.

What is it?

Just pick a night when it's dark and windy

and lie in wait in an alley.

When the right moment comes…

[Wu Tianfu]

You scoundrel!

- Take this! - Get this.

- Does it hurt? - Stealing data, huh?

Who is it?

Take this.

It's my fault, I'm sorry.

It hurts.

What kind of ridiculous idea is that?

That's terrible.

Can you think of something practical?

If anything, you should use a bag to cover him and beat him up for real.

That won't do.

We would not do anything illegal.

That's not our style.

Say something constructive.

Alright, let me think about what else can be done.

- I think… - Got it.

- Countermeasure at hand. - Countermeasure…

at hand.

Yazi.

Cindy.

You two are in sync for the first time.

Yazi.

Elaborate.

What do you mean?

Doesn't the planning department still have a list of developers?

Then let's use this list of developers.

Let's plot another diversion…

[Sales Department]

What for?

Let me say it first.

I won't turn myself in.

Anyway, what's done is done.

From now on, we can rely on our own skills.

Got it.

Why are you so defensive?

Let me tell you.

A little angel took the blame for us.

Really?

Who would be so kind?

Meng Heng.

He took the blame for us.

No, he's one of Cindy Wang's people.

How could he possibly help us?

I'm not anyone's person.

It just so happens

that Yingjun's stocks made me some money.

Consider it compensation for the heartache.

That's a small matter. No need to mention it.

So it's because of the money.

Yingjun and I have something to discuss with you.

Right.

It's about a deal we want to discuss with you.

What kind of deal?

Here's the thing.

Come in.

Manager.

I have something important to report to you.

Come in and say it.

Manager.

I found out

that Vice President Han has another secret file.

It contains records

of In-depth descriptions of land developers.

In-depth descriptions?

The personalities and various preferences

of those developers.

I believe that as long as we get this list

before interacting with them,

we can definitely seal the deal.

Is that so?

If that's the case, why haven't you brought it over quickly?

I want to as well.

But…

The other party is asking

for 200,000.

200,000?

[In the shadows of the truth, sincerity is the only light.]

[Next Episode] What has to be faced will have to be faced.

- Vice President Han. - She probably won't give you a hard time.

- Be careful. - What should I call you in the future?

Mr. Cai, the planning department has decided

to start trying land development.

Next, Wu Tianfu will fall into our plan

step by step.

What is this thing?

- Okay, it seems like a virus. - Virus.

Poaching from others,

stealing others' secrets,

is that what a good colleague would do?

Rest assured.

She is busy this afternoon.

They won't run into each other.

♫ In the end, what can still ♫

♫ Be upheld ♫

♫ Can no longer believe ♫

♫ In right and wrong ♫

♫ The boundless sea of stars ♫

♫ I wait for you ♫

♫ To become no longer illusory ♫

♫ Those past hurts ♫

♫ The involuntary evil ♫

♫ All are left behind ♫

♫ Meeting you is the most beautiful accident ♫

♫ I can hardly believe there will be ♫

♫ Such a lucky arrival ♫

♫ Meeting you is my greatest anticipation ♫

♫ Fall in love with the present ♫

♫ Because of you ♫

♫ I'm no longer afraid of loneliness and solitude ♫
