[My Boss]

[Episode 21]

Cheng Yao, he's your boss. Pull yourself together.

If your throat is uncomfortable, go take some medicine.

Qian.

I appreciate your affection

and wanting to spend time with me.

But it's already 1 A.M.

and you have to work tomorrow.

Shouldn't you leave for home?

Don't you usually stay up late?

There is a difference

between my midnight pleasure

and watching you

drink your sorrows.

Besides, I've had a really bad day.

I want to be alone

We are both adults.

We need space.

Just leave.

One more.

Qian Heng, tell me the truth.

Did you suffer some kind of blow?

You've been coming to drink with me all night.

Just tell me.

I'll help you with anything except lending money.

Do you really need money?

How much do you need?

No, I…

I need your advice on a relationship issue.

A relationship issue?

That's it?

Seriously, Qian.

Something this trivial kept you hemming and hawing all night?

It's not me.

It's a friend of mine.

Your friend?

It's really my friend.

This friend of mine has encountered a problem with relationships

and asked for my opinion.

But you know, I'm not very good in this area either.

So I thought I'd ask you.

After all, you are experienced, right?

He's anxious because he can't win the girl over.

Serves you right.

Why are you smiling?

I'm not. Go on, I'm listening.

This friend of mine

has received a passionate confession from a girl,

who often interacts with him at work.

Could it be that Liang Yiran has confessed to Qian Heng again?

Your friend wouldn't happen to be a lawyer by any chance, would they?

What's your problem? I've told you,

it's not me, not me, not me.

Come on, dude.

Playing this game with me, huh?

Saying things four times, huh?

Alright, alright.

Your friend, okay.

If he doesn't like her, just reject her.

Don't force such matters of the heart.

It's not exactly forcing, either.

That means he wants to accept it.

Then I want to ask you.

If your friend wants to accept it,

what's with the constipated look?

The girl didn't follow up after her confession.

No matter how I…

how my friend hinted at her,

she had no reaction,

as if the thing never happened at all.

Her mood wasn't affected in the slightest.

Oh my God.

Liang Yiran has upped her game.

Playing hard to get.

Could it be that your friend

is just too foolish when it comes to relationships

and he has sent the wrong message

which makes the girl feel like there's no hope?

So she had to act as if nothing had happened.

No way.

This friend of mine

has given many obvious hints.

So he thinks.

Qian, let me tell you.

This friend of yours

is just too tsundere.

He didn't respond to her feelings in time

and she feels like she has been rejected.

If it were me,

I would also regret confessing my feelings.

Regret? What does she have to regret, really?

Because it's damaging to one's self-esteem.

It's embarrassing.

It's humiliating.

So?

So when it comes to pursuing someone,

of course, the man should take the initiative.

You should…

tell that friend of yours,

that if you have feelings for her,

don't miss the opportunity

and go for it directly.

No way.

My friend has a principle of never pursuing anyone.

Pursuing someone

is not his thing.

Alright, alright.

Then at least find a

more direct way to hint at her.

When the time is right,

have your friend

tell the girl that you reluctantly

agree to her confession.

That should work, right?

I'll talk to him about it.

Thank God.

Have you prepared the materials for Mr. Wang?

Swords of Legends?

Why is it this one?

Isn't that Swords of Legends? Quickly turn it off.

- Don't play during work hours - Mr. Wu.

- No. - Mr. Wu.

Do you know who recently confessed to your leader?

Someone from our firm?

Is that so?

Yep.

Who is it?

Me, confessing every day.

I think he is handsome and capable, truly perfect.

He said a girl.

A girl?

Do we have such brave warriors?

Who is it?

If I knew, why would I ask?

You're so slow on gossip.

Useless, a waste of time.

Does he know?

Who knows?

Have you heard?

The actress from the recently popular fantasy drama

was cheated on by her non-celebrity boyfriend.

It caused quite a stir.

The one with the three-character name.

I know, I saw that gossip you're talking about.

This actress also said

that she was not marrying

and that she'd stay single forever.

Are those impulsive angry words spoken in the moment?

Hard to say, the two of them have been together for seven or eight years.

They were talking about marriage.

Suddenly, this man

just cheated on her.

And not for the first time.

How great is a celebrity girlfriend?

He knows nothing.

Men, not a single good one amongst them.

Yu Fei, say something for the male brethren.

That's a bit imprecise.

Yes, it's too broad a generalization.

There are plenty of good men.

Right in front of you, for instance.

Me.

But if I were a female celebrity,

I wouldn't get married either.

Being wealthy and beautiful, how good to be on one's own?

Right, the key is to have…

Let's discuss this case.

What case?

The case that Boss is involved in.

Boss?

Oh, that case.

Good morning, Boss.

The bidding entity is now facing an asset issue, right?

Boss.

Mr. Qian.

Yes, that one.

What case is this?

It is that one.

Cheng Yao.

The merchant called me just now

saying there was a mistake this time

and your gift box might have been mixed up.

But I have already given it to Mr. Qian

and he didn't say anything.

He didn't?

Did he open the gift?

He must have opened it.

It's been so many days already.

They sent this batch of gift boxes to a lot of people and many were mistaken,

saying that a wealthy woman's confession gift box was missing.

They called me to ask about it.

But it's possible that the gift box you sent

is not within their range of mistakes.

Of course, if the confession gift box had been sent to Mr. Qian,

things wouldn't be so calm as now.

Makes sense. Okay, then.

Everything is fine.

If you have feelings for her,

don't miss the opportunity

and go for it directly.

Cheng Yao, come to my office.

Come in.

Did you ask for me?

Do you need anything?

I have received your gift and your good will.

This matter is up for discussion.

Really?

Don't worry, Boss.

I will definitely work hard and live up to your expectations.

Don't get too excited.

I'm still considering this matter.

It's up to your performance.

Rest assured, Boss.

From now on, I will surely follow your steps closely,

go everywhere you want me to go,

do everything you want me to go,

and always put you first.

My mission is to make you happy.

Anything else?

Yes, moreover,

I want to be your right-hand woman,

work tirelessly for you,

ease worries, and solve problems.

Boss.

Could you tell me

how big of a raise are we talking about?

A… a raise?

Don't worry, Boss.

A big raise or a small one, I'd feel encouraged.

I will continue to work hard

and won't be cocky.

You…

After getting a raise and earning money, then what?

- Boss. - Get out.

I've investigated that company's

business situation.

Prepare the case analysis for me today

and deliver it directly to my villa tomorrow.

I'll send you the password.

Isn't tomorrow a bit too soon?

Can't you finish it?

It's a matter of quality or quantity.

Both of you, get out.

What about…

Get out.

The merchant just called me

saying there was a mistake this time

and your gift box might have been mixed up.

I have received your gift and your good will.

This matter is up for discussion.

Boss has been acting strangely these past few days.

He even mentioned the gift box just now.

Could it be that my gift really got mixed up?

No way.

Come in.

Is there anything else?

Boss, we talked about the gift, right?

Do you like the gift I sent?

The gift?

It's not bad.

What about the words on the card?

Do you think there is hope?

I love you. I want to have your child.

Didn't expect you to be so direct.

Actually, when expressing emotions,

you can be more subtle.

Mr. Bao,

I can deliver that document

to Mr. Qian for you tomorrow.

Really?

That's great. Tomorrow's the weekend

and I need to accompany my girlfriend.

You'd be doing me a favor.

I'd better go to Boss's villa and see if there has been a delivery mix-up.

Is it necessary to place it so obvious?

[I love you. I want to have your child.]

So Boss has been acting strange these few days

because of this gift.

Is there a hole in the ground?

I want to jump in and never get out.

How could such an embarrassing thing happen?

Honey.

We just came without even telling our son.

This is not good, right?

Isn't it even worse to come after telling him?

What do you know?

This is the study room.

It must be where our son

spends the most time.

This is the right place.

Let me see where it should be placed.

Let's see.

West side, it should be here.

Honey, hurry up.

It's just a bunch of plastic flowers.

Do you have to be so serious?

Are you silly?

Where can you find real peach blossoms in this season?

It's just a gesture.

Sincerity brings the spirit, you know?

You are so superstitious.

Me, superstitious?

As if you are so scientific.

Then you tell me.

What tricks do you have

to get our son to start dating

and get married? Go on.

I, I don't.

Even the boss can't escape from being pushed to marry.

A wise person's guidance

must be right.

Shut up, really.

The master said that this peach blossom formation

needs plenty of sunlight.

Why are the curtains closed?

I don't even want to explain it to you.

Auntie, be careful.

You scared me.

Miss Cheng.

What are you doing here?

I…

came to deliver some documents.

Documents?

Can documents be so big and heavy?

So heavy.

I love you.

I want to have your child.

Dad, you said it was urgent. What…

Son.

Come take a seat. Why are you just standing there?

Sit next to Cheng.

I'm here to deliver documents for Bao.

Suddenly, Uncle and Aunt came in.

And I got nervous,

so I hid behind the curtains,

which caused some misunderstanding.

There's no misunderstanding.

Son, we didn't misunderstand.

Cheng, we have been young too. We've been there.

We understand.

Son, there's no misunderstanding.

I'm going to use the restroom.

Alright, it's over there.

- Come here, come here. - What's up?

How long have you two been together?

Who pursued whom?

She did, she pursued me.

She pursued you?

Bold girl.

Not bad, right?

So how did she confess?

She must have had a crush on me for a long time.

Just never confessed it.

So when she did confess,

I wasn't mentally prepared.

What happened then?

So there was no grand gesture.

Maybe my excellence

put some pressure on her.

So she opted for a subtle and gradual approach,

hoping for an affection over time.

That's so romantic.

Watch and learn, really.

So what's this subtle and gradual approach?

Like making me breakfast in the morning

and dinner at night,

fixing the plumbing sometimes,

and being available for designated driving.

I was having stomach issues before, right?

She would always make me nourishing porridge.

When I was on business trips, she'd remind me

to eat on schedule.

In any setting, she would always stand up for me.

Others say I'm the cancer of the industry, but she doesn't think so.

Plus, we have common interests.

We like the same games and music.

We have many things to talk about.

Good, this is a nice pace.

So in the end, who confessed?

Did Cheng confess her feelings?

Of course, she did.

She gave me a gift box on my birthday.

She confessed her feelings with a note inside the gift box.

The note said

she wanted to have my child.

There was also a bottle of wine and some roses.

At first, I actually refused.

But she didn't back down.

She continued to stay by my side.

So, I was moved by her persistence.

I decided to give her a chance.

You did the right thing.

Cheng.

I have a gift for you.

No need to give me gifts.

No, no, this is from me.

No, no, Auntie, I can't take this.

No, it's nothing.

It's just a sincere blessing to you.

- Dad, Mom. - We'll be going now.

Let's go, Cheng Yao.

Go on, go back to work.

It's for your wellbeing.

Be careful.

Our son did a great job.

Better than you.

He got it from me.

After receiving the gift,

I hesitated for a long time.

Although I'm your boss,

considering your sincerity,

I'm not saying I can't accept it.

Oh my God.

How should I explain this to him?

He must think I'm confessing my love to him.

And now his parents know it too.

This is too embarrassing.

He said he wasn't saying he couldn't accept it.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's not like he would like me.

Is it possibly for revenge?

For making him look bad on his birthday,

so he's playing a prank on me?

What should I do?

He wouldn't fire me, would he?

Boss.

About the gift, I…

I need to explain to you.

You don't need to explain. It's alright.

I actually admire your courage.

Besides, I know

I do have a bit of personal charm.

So I can understand if you lose control occasionally.

Boss, actually, that gift

was a mix-up by the manufacturer.

The card on the gift I sent you should read

'Take me to prosperity and take me to soar.'

Perhaps there were too many gifts,

so the manufacturer accidentally mixed them up.

So…

you didn't actually confess to me.

Yes, it was all a misunderstanding.

Boss, I'm very self-aware.

I have no improper thoughts about you.

Really.

[People's Court of Minghua District, Jiang City]

Hello, the number you have dialed is powered off.

Mr. Wu.

Cheng Yao, where does your sister live now?

I can't tell you.

Someone is causing trouble for her now.

Her phone is powered off.

If you don't tell me, what if something happens to her?

Who's troubling my sister?

My sister lives in Room 509, Lane 398,

Chunhui North Road.

But I don't know if she's home right now.

I'll head over there immediately.

You should come, too.

Okay, okay.

What happened?

Mr. Wu said someone was causing trouble for my sister.

Don't worry, we'll rush over immediately.

Cheng Xi, what are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Just checking up on you. Is that not allowed?

No, no, you…

What are you doing?

Why are you so scared?

Is there someone hidden inside?

Let go, let go.

- Let's see who is inside. - Let go of me.

Who's hiding? Let me see.

Let go of me.

Deng Ming, you are trespassing.

You're a lawyer. Don't break the law knowingly.

What?

I'm knowingly breaking the law?

I'm checking on my ex-wife

and having a friendly chat. Which law did I break?

Cheng Xi, you don't have to be afraid of me.

The matter of you setting me up is in the past.

It's because of this matter

that I've figured it out.

You resent me so much

because you still love me, right?

I don't love you.

Get over yourself.

If you don't love me, who do you love?

Is it Wu Jun?

Is it Wu Jun?

- Let go. - I'm telling you, he's no match for me.

- Let me go. - How is he better than me?

Let go of me.

Deng Ming, I'm telling you.

Don't do anything rash.

If you have a record, even your son will look down on you.

What record?

I'm telling you.

This is, at worst,

a romantic dispute, you know?

We have been divorced for over a year.

What romantic dispute?

My neighbor is a police officer.

If you don't leave now, I'm going to call for help.

Where are you going? Where?

No use trying to cajole or reason with you, right?

Cheng Xi, I'm telling you.

I've already said the nice words.

Don't be ungrateful.

I'm telling you.

That hit you gave me really hurt.

But I really liked it.

I like it when you do that.

Let go of me.

Help!

Go away!

Help!

Fire! Fire! Run!

There's a fire! Run!

Fire! Run!

Damn it.

Cheng Xi.

Are you okay?

It's okay. Don't cry.

It's okay, I'm here.

Don't be scared, it's okay.

Wu Jun, have you no shame?

Ambushing me?

I'm telling you.

I used to practice boxing.

Do you think I can't beat you?

Did you make me bleed?

Hello, everyone, I am lawyer Deng Ming. Look.

I've been hit by someone. Do you see this?

This is a nosebleed.

I am at my ex-wife's house right now.

It was him.

This man named Wu Jun,

a lawyer from Junheng Law Firm.

All the evidence is here.

I'm telling you, just wait.

Are you done yet?

I'm calling the police now.

Hello, police?

Someone hit me.

I'm at my ex-wife's house now.

Her lover has beaten me.

It caused bleeding.

My head is dizzy now.

I was really beaten.

Just wait until this gets out.

Junheng Law Firm had it coming.

They are hitting me.

Sorry, please wait a moment.

Sir, are you still there?

I'm here.

I feel a bit better now.

I'm no longer dizzy, thank you.

Wait, where did this come from?

Where did this come from?

I have surveillance

in the living room for my dog.

What you just did

has all been recorded.

You better watch yourself.

Cheng Xi, you are so shameless.

Give it to me.

Coming back for more, huh?

It's not me coming back, it's you, isn't it?

The third time now.

If you don't scram now,

you'll have the fourth time.

I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

Okay?

Hurry up.

I can't.

I'm leaving. I'm leaving.

What? What are you doing?

Give me my jacket.

I'm telling you.

I have a video of you.

You have a video of me.

Let's call it even today. No one messes with anyone.

Understood? Alright?

What happened to your leg?

Don't worry about me. I just twisted it a bit. I'm fine.

How are you?

Are you hurt anywhere?

Say something, Cheng Xi.

Should we go to the hospital?

Okay?

Sorry, I was late.

Don't be scared anymore.

I'm fine.

Megatron is still at the pet store.

We've got to go pick him up.

You scared me.

Sister.

Sister, are you okay?

Where's Deng Ming?

I drove Deng Ming away. You don't need to be afraid anymore.

We must call the police and get him arrested.

Playing nice doesn't work.

Yaoyao, I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

Cheng Yao, we don't have evidence

of Deng Ming causing substantial harm to your sister.

Even if we call the police now,

they won't sentence him heavily.

He likes to show off, right?

We'll take more cases from him

and get back at him for your sister.

What do you say?

You can use my name for that.

Alright, you said it.

What are you doing here?

Could I not come when you're in trouble?

Thank you.

Are you sure?

Thank you, Boss.

Boss.

Would you like some crayfish?

I don't have much of an appetite.

Your family member had an accident,

and I'm showing concern.

Shut up and come.

Try some.

Boss, I really don't have much of an appetite.

Don't trouble yourself.

Still thinking about Cheng Xi's matter?

I'm just thinking

that my sister has suffered a great deal,

yet there's nothing I can do about it.

I think Wu Jun was right.

After all, Cheng Xi wasn't really harmed.

It is difficult to find solid evidence.

The key in taking revenge

on these people is to ruin their career.

I know.

But I was just wondering

why won't my sister ever call the police.

Is it because she feels

that she has no one to rely on

so she wants to downplay it?

She doesn't want to cause us trouble.

If you put it that way,

Wu Jun would be devastated.

He got hurt for Cheng Xi's sake after all.

If your sister is not calling the police,

she's likely to have another plan.

She is a lawyer

and she knows her legal provisions.

Perhaps she is holding back a major move.

She can share that with me.

I am her younger sister after all.

Well, she is your elder sister.

Why didn't you tell her

what really happened in Bai Xingmeng's case?

That's not the same.

I'm just saying,

even sisters

have their own lives.

You can support each other

but should not interfere too much.

My sister is so smart.

There must be something I haven't thought of.

You're quite self-aware.

You have successfully demotivated an employee.

Alright, stop thinking about it for now.

Otherwise, Cheng Xi will feel guilty.

Eat up.

I've peeled so much for you and you haven't taken a bite.

It's getting late.

Boss, aren't you going home to rest?

That doesn't sound very grateful.

I'm just saying,

you still have to work tomorrow, don't you?

I'm concerned about your work state tomorrow.

I'm not rushing you out.

Yes, you are.

Eat up, okay?

At least finish what I peeled for you,

Cheng Yao, he is your boss.

Pull yourself together.

That was close.

If I break this,

selling me won't be enough compensation.

I'll return it to Qian Heng tomorrow.

After receiving the gift,

I hesitated for a long time.

Although I am your boss,

considering your sincerity,

I, I'm not saying I can't accept it.

This must be a prank.

I'm not his type.

Cheng Yao, if you take this seriously,

you're a big fool.

So annoying.

Wait a moment.

Hello, are you Mr. Wu?

This is from Mr. Qian for you. Please sign for it.

We'll carry it in for you. Come on.

Okay, thank you.

What, what is this thing?

Okay, thank you.

Wish you a speedy recovery.

What on earth is this?

He put on a huge bow.

Qian Heng.

You're the old one here.

Pretending to be compassionate, like a cat mourning a mouse.

This might as well be a curse.

It's original imported.

Thank you for your efforts in winning

the Golden Scales Award for the office.

Original imported?

It's infuriating.

Qian, huh?

You're doing this on purpose.

Cheng Xi.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

Come on in.

And you brought something, too.

I just happened to be passing by,

and they were selling these downstairs.

How did you know I like sunflowers?

Really?

Yes, really. They are pretty just like you.

I'll get you slippers.

Could you take it for a moment?

I bought you new slippers,

according to your size.

They are matching ones.

The label's still on.

Okay, come on.

Put them on.

Come on, give me the flowers.

Don't worry about it. Just put it there.

- It's alright. - Let's go.

It's fine. Don't bother. Let's go.

What about your leg?

I'm not sitting in this wheelchair.

I'll push you.

Then it would be a bit impolite not to sit.

Okay, okay.

- Slow down, slow down. - Okay.

This feels nice.

When I get old, you'll push me around.

We can go anywhere we want. How nice.

Cheng Xi, why did you suddenly think of visiting me today?

Did you miss me?

Cheng Xi.

You came to see me today.

But you're not here,

to reject me, are you?

You got hurt for me.

Of course, I had to come and see you.

This injury is nothing.

I went to learn Free Combat specifically for Deng Ming.

Every time I see him,

I'll beat him up.

You'll never have to worry.

I'll protect you wherever we go in the future.

We're not afraid of him.

I'm not afraid of Deng Ming anymore.

Nothing he does can hurt me now.

That's great.

Mainly because of you.

Your kindness to me

and the things you've done for me

make me feel burdened.
