All language subtitles for Master of My Own Episode EP03

(Episode 3)

Mr. Lu.

Lu Ji Ming, I brought you crabs!

Is this how you greet me?

Get out of here!

What's happening?

Go to the Project Department.

Project Department?

Yes.

I'm being considerate.

You were too rash.

You wish to quit at the slightest setback.

You won't survive with this kind of attitude.

I'm giving you a way out.

Don't say I didn't give you a chance.

I'll give you one month.

We'll send you to the Project Department.

After a month,

if you can't handle it,

then get yourself back here.

You'll continue to be my secretary.

If you talk about quitting again or cause a scene,

then I'll kick you out for real.

Six months.

What gives you the right to bargain with me?

How can I learn in a month?

Give me at least four months.

A month and a half at most.

I'll be the middleman.

- How about three months? - What's it to you?

I think three months is okay.

I accept Mr. Zeng's proposal.

Just two months.

Don't push your luck.

Take it or leave it.

It's a deal.

Ning Meng.

The big tiger finally caved in. That's amazing.

Don't be mad.

Isn't she just a secretary?

Can't you find another one?

Stop waving it like a fan.

That's easy for you to say.

Before Ning Meng came,

I've already had several secretaries.

Ning Meng is very reliable.

She's smart too.

She might be able to achieve something...

at the Project Department.

Then there will be another valiant general working under you.

Plus, you'll be the one who personally trained her.

What do you know?

In this place,

a good secretary...

has more weight than an investment director.

Don't try and coax me if you don't know how to.

One more thing.

What you said just now...

about helping her,

I've yet to settle it with you.

Give her to me if she doesn't like you.

- Do you think you deserve it? - Yes.

So Mr. Lu sent you to Division Two?

Please guide me well, Mr. Qiu.

I've been hearing...

about you wanting to be transferred for a while.

I didn't think it was actually true.

I guess Mr. Lu does look out for you.

No, that's not true.

Mr. Qiu, I actually studied finance.

I'm just kidding.

Don't be nervous. Hold on.

Hello, Ms. Feng. Please come to my office.

Mr. Qiu.

I'll save the introductions since you know each other.

Ms. Feng.

Later,

get Ms. Ning a desk...

and introduce her to the department staff.

Ms. Ning, from now on,

you can ask Ms. Feng if you need anything.

Thank you.

You can call me Ning Meng, sir.

I'm used to calling you that.

It's okay.

I'll go and pack my things then.

Okay.

Mr. Qiu.

What's going on?

She suddenly descended on our division out of nowhere.

What is Mr. Lu planning?

Don't worry about it.

Here's the thing.

Just pay more attention to what you say in the future.

Keep an eye on her.

Got it.

I don't think Ning Meng will survive long...

in the Investment Department.

She might be back in a few days.

Consider this a rough patch.

Come in.

Mr. Lu.

Mr. Zeng is here too.

If you're busy...

Just say it.

It's about Ning Meng's work arrangement.

Do you have any instructions?

No.

Mr. Lu.

Ning Meng's role in the company...

is somewhat special.

She's an old employee of the company.

But she's new at the Investment Department.

Should I treat her like a rookie or...

Just let her do what she's capable of.

If she's incompetent,

she will be sent to the correct place.

Do you understand?

No special treatment is needed?

When did our company give out special treatment?

Never.

I understand.

I'll get going then.

That Mr. Qiu.

So much for reading the air.

He totally hit the sore spot.

Are the crabs being steamed?

I'll make one for you to cool down.

You didn't see how nerve-racking it was.

He told me to get lost in front of the whole company.

My mind went blank then.

I was this close to hitting him.

What happened then?

Before I exploded, he said,

"Go to the Project Department."

My gosh. Isn't this a twist?

I think he was about to swear at me.

But if I had really quit,

he would have to recoup.

At least he's smart.

The save was pretty natural.

Look at you laughing so hard.

Listen. You're going to be a female investor.

Behave yourself.

Your boss...

is quite the weirdo.

But in this matter,

he showed you some respect.

And you got what you wanted.

It wasn't easy.

Over the years,

if I didn't have the faith,

I would have collapsed under him by now.

That's right. You had been a secretary all this while.

Now, you're suddenly transferred to the Project Department.

Will you be able to handle it?

To be honest, I'm a little nervous.

But I wasn't just dawdling these past years.

Look.

Investment ideas.

Legal risks.

Grasping the trend and et cetera.

I would study these things whenever I had time.

I've been waiting for this day.

Meng Meng, well done.

I wouldn't be able to.

My only drive is toward makeup.

Sometimes, Yue Lan would complain and I would get so irritated.

Are you talking about me?

Yue Lan, Meng Meng is now with the Project Department.

You two are colleagues.

Congratulations, Ning Meng.

Thanks, Yue Lan.

I look forward to working with you.

No problem.

But let me warn you first.

You used to be a secretary.

You were only responsible to your boss.

Human relations were simple.

But at the Project Department, you're a regular employee.

You need to be more careful.

Yue Lan, stop scaring Meng Meng.

I...

Go and cook.

- Okay. - Go easy on the salt.

Okay.

Meng Meng, you guys continue.

He's right.

But...

no matter what,

I just need to do well on the projects.

Am I right?

Just do your best, Meng Meng.

Our Meng Meng is afraid of nothing.

Excuse me.

I'm no longer Mr. Lu's secretary.

I'll forward the WeChat contacts to you later.

It smells so good.

But it's too complicated.

There are more difficult ones.

I'll teach you one by one.

This is the Qilin Furniture's information printout.

Mr. Lu might need it soon.

Just make sure you don't miss it.

And this is his personal belonging.

Keep it for him.

Right. I also bought some stuff online.

I'll give you the order number later.

If there are any problems in the future, just ask me.

Ning Meng, congratulations.

Is that how you congratulate others?

- Here. - What is it?

"Sunflower Manual."

"Mr. Lu's manual"?

What's up with that man?

You'll get the hang of it.

Mr. Lu.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

Just hand over your work.

What are you laughing about?

I'm not laughing.

I'm not.

Do you really think that wearing a suit...

makes you an investor?

I'll work hard in the Project Department.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

You,

make me a cup of coffee.

You can do it.

I'll treat you to hot pot later.

(Ning Meng, Business Division Two)

- Good morning. - Good morning.

(Ms. Feng, may I know what I'm supposed to do today?)

Mr. Liu.

Ning Meng.

How does it feel to be in a new position?

I only just started.

Mr. Liu.

Let me ask you something.

Do you know where the people of Division Two are?

It's already quite late, but none of them are here.

Qiu Jun Lin told me this morning...

that they are having a meeting with the investee.

Didn't anyone tell you?

No.

Mr. Qiu is so careless.

They may have forgotten about you since you're new here.

Don't take it to heart.

It's okay.

It's my first day at the department.

There are so many projects I'm not familiar with.

I can do my homework.

Ning Meng, let me tell you one thing.

Feel the department out for a bit.

If you think it's not suitable,

you can go back to being a secretary.

Mr. Lu won't hold it against you.

We're also looking forward to your return.

Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Liu.

But I don't like going backward.

You're still too young.

If a person can do one thing their whole life...

and do it well,

that's also an achievement.

The advantage is how to take over a sinking market.

That's right.

The sinking market is an iceberg.

But it can also be a gold mine.

Okay.

That's all.

We're off to a bad start.

Yang Xiao Yang!

What did you make me?

All right, Mr. Qiu.

I'll give you the minutes when I get back.

Okay.

Ning Meng.

I'm sorry.

I forgot to inform you about the meeting this morning.

My bad.

I'll treat you to a nice meal later as an apology.

It's okay.

Regarding work,

I'll listen to Mr. Qiu and your arrangement.

You mean...

you'll do as we say?

Mr. Lu won't interfere?

I think so.

So are you officially a part of Division Two...

or will you switch between Division One and Two?

Like a trial to experience the life of the workers?

Don't say that.

You shouldn't use the word "workers".

I'm just a normal employee.

I'm here to work.

Mr. Qiu can give me any tasks.

Okay.

I heard you made a bet with Mr. Lu.

Supposedly, if you can't get good results in two months,

you'll return to being his secretary.

You're pretty good.

Mr. Lu never gives us any leeway.

If I don't show results in two months,

I'll have to leave this company.

I see.

Okay, I'll stop joking around.

Why don't you...

familiarize yourself with our work environment?

Okay.

Have a good day.

- Call me if you need anything. - Okay.

You're amazing.

Hello?

Hello, Ning Meng. You have a parcel at the front desk.

Okay.

Come in.

Mr. Lu.

Your dad's fishing equipment has arrived.

I'll teach you how to use it.

Do I look like I have time to kill?

Come home with me.

You show him how to use it.

- Mr. Lu, I just joined the... - That's right.

You just joined the Project Department,

so you don't have to work late.

I'm coming.

Ming Ming.

- Come in. - Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu.

Welcome, Ning Meng.

Here. Wear the slippers. I have everything ready.

Give it to me. Free your hands.

You bought this for your dad, right?

Yes.

He'll love it.

Do you know?

Your dad was very happy when he heard you were coming.

What are you blabbering about?

You can just tell me.

Come in.

- Come in. - Go on.

Come in. Have a seat.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

Have a seat. I'll get dinner ready.

You two came at the right time.

I'll get some water.

Thank you, Mr. Lu.

Taste the water.

Why aren't you drinking?

- I'm not thirsty. - You should still taste it.

There's nothing to taste. It's just water.

I've had water.

Just try it.

How is it?

It's quite nice.

Is this purified water or mineral water?

You could call it purified water.

I just started testing this machine.

Aside from the powerful water purifying function,

it also ensures good mouthfeel.

The only negative thing is that the filtration is a bit slow.

Which water purifier these days...

can't dispense water immediately?

Who says it's purified tap water?

It's purified dirty wastewater from the ditch.

I went to get some.

It's that bucket. Do you see it?

No, Dad.

You let us drink dirty water?

No, this is purified dirty water.

Isn't it also clean water?

Even if you wanted us to be your lab rat,

you could've at least told us first.

If I drink this dirty water and get diarrhea...

and end up in the hospital, that would be bad.

Would you have drunk it if I had told you?

What...

Don't give me that look.

Do you know how bad industrial waste...

and agricultural pollution are?

A purifying device for natural water...

will be a necessity in the future.

You need to invest in more projects like this.

Don't just invest in projects that are just for fun.

It seems to me that your investment standards...

are way too idealistic.

Times have changed.

What do you know?

While society grows,

green initiatives should follow.

Otherwise, there will be a problem.

It's called social responsibility. Do you have it?

Why do you think I'm irresponsible?

The products I invested in...

have changed people's lifestyles.

It's meaningful.

You can have your lofty ideas.

But why must you suppress me?

What lofty ideas?

You're just trying to argue with me.

Which one of us is at fault?

You are.

Don't be angry, Mr. Lu.

Your son bought a gift for you.

Why don't you check it out?

This is a hi-tech fishing machine.

It detects fish automatically.

It will release the hook at the proper spot.

And the camera on it spins on its own.

You'll be able to see both the surface and underwater.

This is nice.

From now on,

the fish won't be able to hide from me.

That's right.

Mr. Lu specially picked it out for you.

It's so bulky.

It's not comfortable to hold.

Am I supposed to carry it while fishing?

But it's useful for fishing.

Here you go.

Look.

It's an auspicious number. There are eight dishes.

There's soup too.

Hold on. I'll be right back.

Go ahead and dig in.

Ning Meng.

You've been working for Ji Ming for a few years, right?

It has been three years.

It's not easy being his secretary.

His temper...

is like a wolf's.

I don't think it's easy...

being your secretary either.

Look at Ms. Liu.

She married you before she retired.

What's this called?

"From the frying pan into the..."

Mr. Lu.

I've been transferred to the Project Department.

I'm no longer Mr. Lu's secretary.

You quit being a secretary?

It must be because you're sick of him.

Am I right?

Ning Meng is such a nice person,

but even she can't stand being around you.

It is proof of your work.

You should really reflect on it.

What do you know?

- Why are you defending her? - Am I wrong?

That's not true.

I transferred because I wanted to do investment.

Look, she's still trying to protect your pride.

Ning Meng, work hard. Your future is bright.

Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'll work hard.

She's not good enough to be doing investments.

Tell me, who is born to do investment?

Was I?

I still did a good job, didn't I?

Your employee wants to improve.

Instead of encouraging her, you're suppressing her.

What kind of behavior is that?

Is this how you run the company?

Are you interfering in my company's internal affairs?

You're just scolding me on the pretense of teaching me.

So are you here to lecture me instead?

You insolent brat.

Just because you invested in a few lucrative projects,

you think you are better than everyone else?

Hey, honey.

Here's your soup.

It's your favorite.

Ms. Liu, I just remembered I have a meeting at the office.

You guys eat.

Ming Ming.

You didn't eat anything.

Who cares about him?

Take it or leave it.

Ning Meng.

Are you staying here by yourself to eat?

- Mr. Lu... - You stay.

Mr. Lu, Ms. Liu.

I'm sorry, we have a meeting.

We'll get going now. Enjoy your meal.

Bye, Ms. Liu.

Mr. Lu.

Maybe you should ask Xiao Song to drive you somewhere to eat.

Mr. Lu, what would you like to eat?

Eat what?

I'm already full of anger.

Listen up.

Just because my dad spoke up for you,

it doesn't make you somebody.

He's just picking bones with me.

No matter who came today,

he would support them in their investment dream.

Do you get that, Ning Meng?

Mr. Lu, I'm with the Project Department now.

Why are you still saying such things?

Do you really have to make me go back?

Am I that good?

You're overthinking it.

I raised you for three years.

From a little worker,

I nurtured you into a satisfactory worker.

You can't just take off like this.

Do you think I can let it go?

Then just vent.

Or else it will burst.

Ning Meng.

I guess I don't know you that well.

You're starting to talk back to me.

See? I'm showing my true colors now.

So you should just get rid of this headache.

My foot.

I'm telling you.

Come back if you can't take it.

Don't make a fool of yourself...

because you're clueless.

What are you looking at?

Why are we still here? Let's go.

Mr. Lu, I don't know where we're headed.

So I didn't start the car.

Where else?

Hey, Xiao Song.

Drop me off at the subway station.

All right.

All right.

Ning Meng.

- Ms. Feng. - Mr. Qiu is back.

He asked you to collate last term and this term's funds...

and all the projects our department has worked on.

Projects we worked on for two term's funds...

would be 700 or 800 in total.

No, there must be more than 900 of them.

That's why it needs to be sorted again.

Categorize them by the projects' budget and financial status.

Create a spreadsheet.

I'll email you the template later.

This isn't urgent.

You can give it to me tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Do you need help?

No, it's fine.

I'm going home.

Bye.

Xiao Yang, I'm leaving.

Bye.

Ning Meng, you're still here.

You're working too hard.

You haven't left either.

This is your own choice, but I was forced.

Who knows how much longer I have to suffer?

I get you.

I'll get back to work now.

Keep at it.

You too.

Check with Tang Zheng Wang again on the sample release date.

Get in touch with Mr. Shi at Eagle Capital in advance.

The documents from Qilin also need tweaking.

The stocking, prototype, and budgeting...

need to be more specific.

And...

I have my own plans tomorrow at 3pm.

Reschedule my meeting with the bank to 10am the day after tomorrow.

Mr. Lu, what was the second point?

If you can't use a notebook,

then get a notebook.

Note...

What do you mean?

Notebook as in laptop.

Never mind. I'll text it to you.

Thank you. Bye, Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu.

I just skimmed through it...

and already noticed an error.

Your intelligence seemed to have dropped after switching departments.

I was just about to correct it.

This is the task Qiu Jun Lin gave you?

Why do I think...

that although you've moved to another place,

you're still doing a secretary's job?

It's not the same.

We have different destinations.

Even if we're heading in the same direction,

in the end, it will be different.

Sure.

Take your time walking.

But don't forget.

You have 57 days left.

Bye, Mr. Lu.

Why isn't Ming Ming here yet?

Ask him to hurry up.

He's like a ticking time bomb these days.

I don't want to trigger it. You can urge him yourself.

You want me to urge him?

I still have my pride.

When I'm in front of Ming Ming,

I have to be more reserved.

Ms. Xu.

When have you acted reserved in front of Ming Ming?

What's wrong with Ming Ming lately?

It's all that secretary's fault.

Don't say a word about it later.

He'll explode.

Ning Meng?

What did she do?

What else?

She wants to do investments.

Investments?

Do you think every Tom, Dick, and Harry can do investments?

Life is full of irony.

There's a law of contradiction...

in hobbies.

- Have you heard of it? - No.

You must have made it up.

You're uncultured then.

They say that...

the thing you like...

is the thing you're not good at.

While the thing you're good at is never what you like.

Take Ning Meng for example.

She doesn't like being Lu Ji Ming's secretary.

But she's a natural.

She was born for Ming Ming.

What can she...

Are you drunk?

That's nonsense.

Listen up, Xu Tian Tian.

Don't ever hit me again. I'm an adult.

Try hitting Lu Ji Ming.

Do you dare?

And why not?

You can't read his pulse.

No one can read his pulse.

Except for the little secretary.

When should we go along with him?

When should we go against him?

That young lady knows it all.

She's suddenly gone now.

Ming Ming must feel agonized.

What are you laughing at?

Why are you so close to me?

I'm mad at you.

Did Ming Ming get a new secretary?

No.

He's saving the seat,

waiting for the little secretary to return.

Ming Ming has something to do. He's not coming.

We'll drink.

I suddenly remembered I have something to do too.

I'm leaving.

Even if he's not coming, can't you just drink with me?

Am I just the spare?

Hello, Mr. Lu.

What did you submit to me?

Seven plates with color?

Haven't you seen how Ning Meng did it?

I'm sorry, Mr. Lu.

I'll redo it right away.

Forget it.

Good day, Mr. Lu.

Good, my foot.

Hello, Mr. Lu.

- Good morning, Mr. Lu. - Mr. Lu.

Good morning, Mr. Lu.

Yang Xiao Yang!

I'm coming.

Surprise!

- What are you doing here? - I heard your secretary left.

From now on, I'll be your personal secretary.

I guess I'm the best person for the job.

That Zeng Yu Hang can't keep quiet.

So you did all this?

But Ms. Xu,

I don't wish to bother you...

with menial, secretary work.

As your friend, your childhood buddy,

and your strategic partner,

I think it's only right to help you in time of need.

Help is here.

Speak.

Ms. Xu, your coffee is at the front desk.

Bring it in for me.

Two for Mr. Lu.

The rest is for the staff.

Thank you.

Yang Xiao Yang.

This is a special order from Ms. Xu Si Tian...

to all the employees of Joint Capital.

Thick milk latte. Coconut latte.

- Here. - Smooth latte.

- Thank you, Ms. Xu. - Take your pick.

From now on,

I'm not just your investor.

I'm also Mr. Lu's secretary.

- Secretary? - Call me Secretary Xu.

Ms. Secretary Xu or Secretary Ms. Xu.

Tian Tian, what are you doing?

I'll be in charge of all drinks at the company.

Here.

Have a seat.

Tian Tian.

Do you really think you're suitable to be my secretary?

What if your dad finds out?

Yes, my dad knows.

He totally agreed with me.

But even if your dad agreed,

shouldn't you ask me...

whether I would agree?

Why wouldn't you agree?

There's no way.

Ming Ming.

You really don't want this, do you?

I don't care.

Since I'm already here,

I'm not leaving.

What are you doing?

Are you calling Zeng Yu Hang?

I'm telling you. He won't pick up.

Hello, the number you have dialed is turned off.

Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.

Hello, the number you have dialed...

Tian Tian, how about this?

Let's try it for a day.

One day?

I just remembered I have an urgent matter to attend to.

Let's talk about this later.

Okay, Mr. Lu. I'll wait here.

Come in.

Mr. Qiu.

Here are the materials and reports you asked me to organize.

That was fast.

I worked on it the whole night.

Mr. Qiu, do you have any other work for me?

Listen, Ning Meng. Here's the thing.

Perhaps due to your past role as a secretary,

you're not that familiar with Division Two's workflow.

From now on, Ms. Feng will handle your job delegation.

You don't have to report to me.

- I'll get going then. - Okay.

Mr. Qiu.

I'm getting more puzzled...

with what the company is up to lately.

Firstly, Ning Meng, a secretary,

was transferred to our team.

Now, Ms. Xu has taken over Ning Meng's old post.

She's going to be Mr. Lu's secretary.

Ms. Xu Si Tian has always been willful.

She does whatever she wants.

She'll leave after a few days.

The bigger issue is Ning Meng.

She's a tough nut.

Look.

She organized everything.

Without any complaints,

she organized everything in such a short time.

I can't find an excuse to pick faults with her.

She worked for Mr. Lu for three years.

She's definitely not your average employee.

That day, Mr. Lu told me...

that if Ning Meng is incompetent at the job,

she'll go to where she belongs.

It's not right for us to leave her hanging.

But is it really okay to let her handle a project?

Didn't Xu Si Tian work on an RV camp project?

- Did anyone follow up on it? - Not yet.

A project has an opening.

A person needs a task.

It's perfect timing, isn't it?

- Ning Meng. - Ms. Feng.

You finished the job well.

Mr. Qiu is very pleased.

As expected from someone who survived Mr. Lu.

You're very efficient.

Thank you.

You've been wanting to work on a project, haven't you?

Here's your chance.

- What project is it? - Take a look.

This is a very important project.

An RV camp.

But this project is urgent.

You need to prepare the report before the meeting next Tuesday.

I know the timeline is tight.

Plus, it's a whole new field.

Can you do it?

Yes, I can.

Do your best.
