[Forever and Ever]

[Episode 6]

Come here.

Thank you.

You know the sponsor?

An old friend of mine.

Shi Yi.

There were too many people, so

I didn’t get to introduce myself.

I’m Shi Yi’s agent.

I’m Meilin.

Hello, Zhousheng Chen.

I’ve heard so much about you.

All right, behave yourself.

He’s one of us now.

What’s the problem if I check him out a bit more?

Every time Shi Yi

talks about you,

there is this sparkle in her eyes.

Just like a child.

I’m curious

what kind of person

could make our beautiful girl

fall head over heels in love.

I hope you’re not disappointed.

No, no, no.

You guys have a good time celebrating.

I’ll leave now.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Yesterday my mother asked me

why I got engaged to you.

I told her

you’re perfect for me.

Let’s go.

[VIP Audio-Visual Room VIP Lounge]

Come on, get in.

Uncle Lin didn’t come?

He’s on strike.

Strike?

He said I come to Shanghai all the time.

He’s old and couldn’t stand it.

He told me to handle it myself.

You doubt I can drive?

How did you know?

I can see it in your eyes.

Here.

This is my driver’s license.

It hasn’t expired yet.

[People’s Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver’s License Zhousheng Chen]

Take a look for yourself.

You look so young on this.

Do I look very old now?

You look more serious now

but as young

[People’s Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver’s License Zhousheng Chen]

as a student on this.

If you kept looking like this,

I’d really think

I’ve grown old.

If it’s convenient for you now,

I’ll take you to this one place.

Where to?

To try on dresses.

What you’re wearing today

looks so gorgeous

that I had the tailor

make you a new one.

Isn’t this one good?

Yes, it is.

I just want you to wear a new dress

when we get engaged.

Then I have to go home

and get a new suit

to match.

If you can wear

this outfit there,

they should be very happy.

That makes sense.

I’d like to thank them in person.

[Chocolate]

We’re going to drive for a while on the highway.

If you’re hungry, have some of this.

Isn’t this for kids?

My grandmother gave it to me.

She’s old

and sometimes a bit muddled.

She sometimes

would take care of me like a child.

Have a taste.

It tastes good.

You loved it when you were a kid?

♫ The snow-covered city tower ♫

♫ When your name rings out ♫

♫ Finally blooming again ♫

♫ I know that with just one look ♫

Do you want to turn on the air conditioning

♫ I can be sure it’s my destination ♫

or open the window?

♫ Not afraid of falling ♫

Open the window.

♫ Running to the world with you ♫

Okay.

♫ The poem I’ll continue to write ♫

♫ With your name in each line ♫

♫ If it started all over again ♫

♫ I’d still remember our love ♫

♫ It took ♫

I thought you’re in charge of all the windows

♫ Hundreds of centuries ♫

on the driver’s side.

♫ For our love to begin ♫

Why did you lean over

and use the window on my side?

♫ There’s no way it’d end ♫

Is this okay?

♫ When our story became history ♫

♫ In another world ♫

♫ There are another ♫

♫ Pair of longing eyes ♫

♫ Have been waiting ♫

♫ For that everlasting romance ♫

Yes.

Then

let’s go.

The people here are surnamed Wang.

They’ve been tailors for more than ten generations.

They made

the cheongsam from before

and the dress you’re wearing now.

You drove

too slowly.

Uncle Lin.

I went to buy this.

Miss Shi.

Didn’t you say that Uncle Lin went on strike?

This is an excuse

he found

to spend time with you alone.

Do you mind if I eat?

No, I don’t mind.

I’ll eat some too.

Should I buy you one?

No, I’m fine.

I have to meet someone later.

Miss Shi likes to eat this.

You have to learn to cook.

I will.

Afterwards.

I also like to eat ants and grasshoppers.

You want to learn that too?

I’m just kidding.

This looks like an old house in Jiangnan.

You mean

our house doesn’t look like…

Your house is so big.

I can’t even tell the difference.

It sounds like we’re new money.

You’re here.

Tell the old lady

that the distinguished guests are here.

They want to pick out the materials for the clothes themselves.

Please sit down first.

I’ll go get the old lady.

Uncle Lin.

Hello, Ma’am.

How are you?

How are you doing?

Good, good.

I guess this

must be Miss Shi Yi.

Of course it’s her.

She’s wearing the dress you made.

This time, my second oldest brother wins.

Okay, stop it.

Have a seat.

I can’t stand too long.

I won’t be overpolite.

I’ll just sit down.

Madam.

This is the oldest son of the Zhou family.

Hello, Ma’am.

I’ve seen you before

when you were four years old.

It’s been so many years.

I’ve made a lot of clothes for you

but I never saw you.

I didn’t expect that now when I see you again,

you’d be here with your bride.

Hello, Ma’am.

Good, good.

They only gave me the size before.

But I couldn’t see the real person.

Clothes should match the person anyway.

Not just the size,

but the looks, temperament,

they all must be taken into account.

I’ve been making clothes all my life.

I’ve never met a girl

who has got both

such a good body and such good looks.

Well, well.

Grandma, you flatter me.

No, no, no.

I’m over 100 years old.

I’m too old to make small talk.

What I said is all true.

Grandma is right.

In the eyes of

us tailors,

you’re a treasure.

You’ve worn this dress already,

so you can’t wear it again for the engagement.

Since last time

you chose my brother’s dress,

I’ll make one for you this time.

I’m okay with that.

Okay, it’s a deal.

Let’s go take measurements for you now.

I’ll start now.

Don’t be in a hurry.

Grandma, if I don’t,

they’ll only try to rush me anyway.

Okay, okay.

I’ll wait for you here.

Take a look around.

I’ll go get something.

Most of the cheongsams here

are ordered by his family.

I made it.

It’s beautiful.

My family’s work.

From the Republican period?

Yes.

It’s a photo taken during the Republic of China.

My ancestral family is from Ningbo.

They started in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era.

At that time, the tailors here

were called Red Gang tailors.

Because Ningbo was among the first cities

to trade with foreign countries,

so they first started to make western clothes.

As they became more and more professional,

they gradually formed

such a school.

Since you specialize in western-style clothing,

why is this place full of cheongsam?

My younger brother is obsessed with Chinese clothing

while I prefer western styles.

My sister’s style is rather mixed,

and hasn’t fully settled yet.

You’re talking about me behind my back again.

Miss Shi.

Let me take your measurements first.

Raise your hand.

Your legs are so long.

I have a cousin

applying for dance school

who is required to have legs 14 centimeters longer

than her upper body.

You exceed that standard by

about two centimeters.

Actually, I’ve already made

the cheongsam.

I’ll make some adjustments over the next few days.

I’ll call you again

to let you try it on in a few days.

I forgot to ask just now, but

why did you choose

this dress?

Because…

I like this color.

Young master.

Goodbye.

I’m going.

Take care.

Brother, I’ll go take a stroll by myself.

Brother, what’s wrong with her?

She was happy just now.

Maybe she thought of what happened between

her and Zhou Wenchuan.

They are not right for each other.

How many times have they broken up?

Now Zhou Wenchuan is getting married.

What’s there to be sad about?

Here’s the problem.

They quarreled

so casually.

She thought that this time would just be another of those times.

Last time she was drunk

and told me,

she’s been waiting for Zhou Wenchuan

to make up with her.

She never thought he would suddenly get married.

Young people are too impulsive.

It’s too late for regrets.

[Recording Studio]

Miss Shi Yi.

[All these years of fighting with the world, are you still radiant and interested in things?]

Congratulations on the award.

What is this?

It’s made of meteorite.

Meteorite?

Shouldn’t this kind of thing be

collected in a museum?

Where there is a collection, there is a sale.

It can be sold?

How are they sold? By weight?

Meteorites are usually measured by category

or the number of surviving meteorites.

Stone meteorites are the most common.

The more valuable kinds are iron meteorites,

glass meteorites,

lunar meteorites,

Martian meteorites

and diamond meteorites.

They’re all sold by the gram.

If a meteorite is witnessed falling,

it’s more valuable.

Thank you for the information.

Thanks for the gift.

This is not expensive, right?

I want to wear it every day.

I’m afraid it’s too expensive to wear.

It’s not expensive at all.

Good.

To celebrate your award,

I’ll treat you to dinner.

Let’s go.

Thank you.

This time it took 38 minutes.

So her customary shower time duration

should be between 25 and 38 minutes.

Do young people in love

like to observe from a distance?

I just want to know more about

her living habits.

After all, we have to live together in the future.

It’s good for two people to get along,

and easier to reduce conflicts before they happen

if I understand her life habits.

You actually don’t want to leave.

You’d rather go up

instead of talking to yourself here.

Let’s go to the institute.

Why did he give you

a meteorite watch?

It seems to be related to his past work.

It may be a souvenir.

I don’t know if it’s waterproof.

I just want to know

is there any radiation?

It’s for me.

I don’t think so.

Why are you looking at me?

[Where’s my boyfriend!]

Boring.

I’m going to bed.

Sir.

No date tonight?

It’s over.

It’s over?

Sir,

don’t you need to stay overnight today?

No, I don’t think so.

You’re not telling me

that you always bring your girlfriend

to her home

and say goodbye politely, are you?

Pretty much.

A gentleman.

What gentleman?

That’s because

they’ve only been together for a while.

They’re not close enough for him to stay overnight.

Sir, I was wrong.

Sir, we’re going back to the dormitory.

Let’s go.

Tell me

everything about our teacher’s wife.

[Shi Yi]

Are you asleep?

[Zhousheng Chen]

No, I’m not.

I’m reading the program.

[Shi Yi: ?]

[Zhousheng Chen]

I’m used to doing this when I don’t feel calm.

[Shi Yi]

Why aren’t you calm?

[Zhousheng Chen]

You’re asking me why I don’t feel calm?

[Shi Yi: Yeah]

[Zhousheng Chen]

Our wedding house in Shanghai is ready.

I wanted to tell you several times tonight

but I couldn’t find the right time.

Why are you here?

I came to have breakfast with you.

I already had it.

You told me

you usually wake up at 7:00.

So I figured I’d come at the right time.

I didn’t think I’d miss it.

I just somehow got up early today.

You haven’t eaten yet?

Of course he hasn’t.

What am I asking?

Do you want to go upstairs?

I’ll make you something to eat.

Sure.

If it’s convenient for you.

It’s convenient.

Let’s go.

I wonder

if this is to your taste.

It’s delicious.

I like this kind of food.

If it’s not enough,

I’ll make more for you.

[Breakfast cereal]

Feels slightly hot.

Hasn’t it come down

or did you get a cold again?

Is it hot?

I feel like I have a low fever.

You’re not

going to give me Chinese medicine again, right?

Not if it’s not working.

That’s made with perilla leaves.

It’s good for curing a cold.

But it’s no longer

simply a cold you’re having.

I should have let you finish it last time

and sleep here overnight to sweat it out.

You’d have been fine right away

if you’d slept overnight.

How about this?

You finish this.

After 20 minutes,

I’ll give you the fever medicine.

Then you take a nap

and the fever will come right down.

I’ll go make up a room for you.

Xiaoyu left on a plane this morning

on a business trip.

So no one will bother you.

Don’t try to rush off.

Get a good sleep.

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

It will be better for your recovery.

Put it there.

I’ll just wash it myself.

I’m done.

Go to sleep now.

I’ve already made your bed.

Have a good sleep.

No one will disturb you.

Go to sleep.

I’ve explained everything.

You go back

and check the contents carefully again.

Okay.

Then we’ll go back.

Bye.

It’s just a marriage.

What?

He needs to redecorate the house?

It’s just a new bed.

Zhousheng Chen asked you to do this?

Absolutely he did.

How dare we

if he didn’t make the order?

I’m going.

Pretending to resist

and acting like a gentleman in front of people,

he even changed the bed

behind people’s backs.

What’s wrong, bachelor?

Are you jealous of my brother?

You know I’m jealous

and are trying to hurt me on purpose?

Now you only recognize him as your brother,

not me.

How could I do that?

I came here

when I heard you were back.

I can take that.

My brother is getting married soon.

You’re still not settled down?

I haven’t found someone to settle down with.

What kind of girl do you like?

Every time I ask you this,

you don’t say anything.

I like to work.

Also,

if you ask me professional questions again

in the future,

I may have to charge you for the consultation.

You would dare charge me?

You’re coming.

Uncle Lin.

I’m here to deliver a set of clean clothes.

He told you?

Yes.

He said you gave him

fever medicine.

He’s afraid when he wakes up,

his clothes will be all sweaty.

So he asked me to bring it here.

That’s very thoughtful.

He’s been like this since he was a kid.

Come in and sit for a while.

No, I’m fine.

We’re getting the furniture in for

your bridal room these days.

I’m a little worried. I have to go check it out.

If the wallpaper is scratched,

it’ll be terrible.

Thank you, Uncle Lin.

It’s nothing.

When you have children,

I’ll be busier.

I’m going.

Bye.

♫ Give you my plain and simple ♫

♫ Wait and protection ♫

♫ Give you my intense ♫

Uncle Lin sent clean clothes.

They’re on the table.

♫ Give me your untouched ♫

feel free to use the bathroom.

♫ Innocence and freedom ♫

♫ Give me your most precious ♫

♫ All of it ♫

Give me your most precious ♫

♫ All of it ♫

You’re up?

I’m not used to sleeping for so long.

You’ve been watching TV?

Do I look weird?

It’s the first time I’ve seen it.

It feels fresh.

Your fever is finally gone.

Why didn’t you take any medicine

for the fever?

I usually let this kind of low fever

get better on its own.

Do you feel uncomfortable?

No dizziness?

I don’t feel it when I’m working.

You don’t take care of yourself.

Right.

I saw you had some bottles of nail polish

in the bathroom.

There are volatile solvents in the ingredients.

It’s ethyl and has acetate.

It’s really bad for your health

if you smell too much of it.

Be sure to use it

in a ventilated place.

Although I can’t understand its composition,

those who have used it know

it’s got a pungent smell.

So I usually use it

in the balcony.

I didn’t think of that.

You so don’t

know about girls.

Why would you research into it?

I wanted to do something

to help others.

I think research

can help more people,

for example, my sister.

She has had a heart problem,

a congenital issue with blood supply,

since she was born.

She hasn’t had a strong body.

But she has been studying medicine

to help more people.

Unfortunately,

she left school before finishing her studies.

Because of her health problem?

Will you stay home for dinner at night

or should you go back to Zhenjiang?

I’m staying in Shanghai this week

in a hotel.

I’ve applied for a temporary room

in the dormitory building of the Shanghai Research Institute.

I have a lab there.

You didn’t tell me.

I didn’t come here often in the past.

Recently, I’ve been working on a new project

with an observatory.

I brought two

research assistants.

Would you like to take a look?

Is that okay?

It’s not confidential?

Go get changed.

Now?

Wait for me.

Find me an empty bag.

I’ll put them all in.

No need.

I’ll just wash them.

As a guest,

I shouldn’t cause the host any trouble.

You’re not just a guest.

I know that.

What?

I’m not just a guest.

Otherwise

how could you

let me sleep in your bed?

All right.

Liu.

Lawyer Mei.

We really have no other choice.

Mr. Zhao asked me to come to you

to figure out a solution.

You don’t need to rush.

Take your time.

What’s He Shan doing in Shanghai?

There’s a meeting in Shanghai this week.

He’s coming for it

and to visit you while he’s in town.

I’ll take this call.

Hello?

Still in Shanghai?

Yes, I am.

Better come back.

Your father’s old friend is here to ask for help.

Okay.

What’s wrong?

I

have to go back to Zhenjiang right away.

You should just go.

I wanted to show you the wedding house.

The furniture has arrived.

If you don’t like it,

we can still change it in time.

The wedding house will still be there.

We’ll check on it together when you get back.

Okay, you head off.

I’ll take a taxi back myself.

[Craft Inheritance]

He should be almost here.

[Jiangsu Province Zhenjiang Distinctive Dyeing Workshop 100 Years of Dyeing and Weaving Manufacturing Craft Heritage]

He’s coming.

Someone reported excessive wastewater here.

The workers have spread the word,

saying it’s a conspiracy by Liu

who’s trying to force the factory to close down

so that he doesn’t have to pay them compensation.

They overheard

the Zhou family has a big share in this factory

and wanted to see someone from the Zhou family.

They even surrounded Liu.

I know

you’re not in charge of this.

Let’s go in and take a look.

Okay, this way.

If you don’t give us

a fair explanation today,

we’re not leaving.

Yes, we’re not leaving.

You must give us an explanation.

We’ve been working here for so many years.

You can’t just close the factory.

That’s right.

We have a whole family to support.

What should we do then?

Make way

Move! Move!

Our major shareholder is here.

Make way, make way, make way.

Come on, get out of the way.

Who’s coming?

Mr. Zhou is here.

This is Mr. Zhou.

Hi.

I’m Zhousheng Chen.

The Zhou family has just held an investment fair.

You all know that, right?

Even if you don’t believe Liu,

you should trust this gentleman.

Who is he?

Who is he?

Bring the sewage monitoring report

here first.

We don’t normally use the report.

I don’t know where it is.

No sewage inspector here?

Of course there is.

But

one of them is at home having a baby

while the other is away on business.

There’s a room full of reports.

It’s hard to find it.

Ammonia, nitrogen, PH.

Chromaticity, suspended matter.

Documents with these words,

bring them all here.

Well.

Okay, okay.

What do we call you?

Boss?

Don’t call me boss.

Just call me Zhousheng Chen.

You know all about

this issue affecting us, right?

I just found out today.

How much can you know in only one day?

Why are you here

if you’re not clear about the situation?

That’s right.

You yourselves asked to meet the major shareholder.

Now he’s here,

you don’t believe him.

How many days

have you been blocking Liu’s house?

Think about it yourselves.

You’re so unreasonable.

I came here this time

hoping

to assure you.

About the accusation this time,

as long as you can prove yourselves innocent,

our production won’t be impacted.

Neither would your reward be impacted.

What if we’re not innocent?

What will you do?

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

Why did you say that?

Say it. Say it.

Don’t be afraid of them. Say it.

Say it. Say it.

Last year, the district authority requested us

to remove all

equipment that exceeded the discharge permit.

We dismantled more than a dozen broken tanks.

But we didn’t remove all of them.

You mean

you did violate the rules?

That’s right.

We all know that.

Yes, we all know that.

Your family is so powerful.

Figure out a way to solve it.

I can’t.

Why did you come here if you can’t handle it?

That’s right.

Am I right?

Why are you here?

If there are violations,

you must follow the procedures.

The person in charge of the factory should write

and sign a self-investigation report,

then voluntarily accept the penalty.

Starting from today,

the entire factory will be suspended until this is rectified.
