EPISODE 4

All right. I know. Sure.

I'll let you know when I take her out to lunch later.

Okay. Bye-bye.

It's because everyone takes care of me, so I'm doing well.

That's good.

We should...

Brother-in-law!

Your cousin wants me to take you out for lunch.

Let's have spaghetti.

That's great. It's my favorite.

Bye!

Tasteful and with personality. So adorable.

Do you mean Mr. Wen?

You're the one who likes Mr. Wen.

Brother-in-law, did you know? Kai Wen has a good sense of style.

I rarely meet guys as stylish as him.

And that David. Do you know him?

He said his uncle owns a club.

He invited us to have fun and said

-if we-- -Wei En.

What is it, Brother-in-law?

Those guys from the sales department are good-for-nothing.

They specialize in sweet-talking.

So I hope that you won't have

much contact with them. Okay?

What is it?

I didn't go looking for them myself.

They came looking for me.

I wasn't scolding you. I was scolding them.

I really wasn't scolding you. I'm worried about you. Understand?

Please stop crying.

Others might think that I'm bullying you. This looks bad.

You and An Zhen should stop worrying about me.

I'm not used to it. I can't take it.

Are you a water tap?

You can cry anytime you want.

Wipe away your tears.

I have my own.

A cross analysis of market research results and display counter feedback?

The report is written well. Who did this?

This report?

I did it.

Really?

Okay.

Wei En helped me out a little.

Kang De, your family is full of talents.

With the help of your family,

Mr. Wen will have it easy.

Ai Lin,

I'm a sales person.

What could I help him with?

You could help him when he's promoted to vice president.

Promotion...

Rui Fan says he's not that experienced.

If someone has to be promoted,

it should be you, Ai Lin. Am I right?

Really?

Yes.

Every word I said is true.

Rui Fan even said it himself.

As for the vice president position, I don't give a shit about Rui Fan.

What is he?

Make an afternoon tea reservation for me.

-Tell Wei En to wait for my call. -Okay.

Take care, Ai Lin.

Kai Wen.

You're something.

You're stealing the credit for that chick's work.

Some morals you have.

Kang De.

Relax.

You're placing righteousness

before your family to show your loyalty. Right?

Some morals you have.

You've been here for a while now. Are you settling in well?

Yes.

Everyone is nice to me. You're even nicer to me.

I haven't really taken care of you.

Your cousin and her husband must take great care of you.

I hear that you're living with them.

Yes.

I heard that...

Ai Lin, you've heard a lot of things.

People like to tell me things.

I hear that they are a loving couple.

Is that right?

Why do I feel that they aren't a loving couple?

Not loving? That's...

They're not loving.

They're...

incredibly affectionate.

It's enviable.

There's something I find strange.

Why does Brother-in-law go out

through the back door every night?

Where's he going?

Right. I wanted to know that, too.

So one day,

I secretly followed him out the back door.

-What happened? -After that,

I found out that...

he was actually taking out the trash.

I was making a big deal out of nothing.

So, Ai Lin,

are there any other secrets you want to know?

I can tell you everything.

Since you said that they were secrets,

you don't have to tell me anything.

I don't want to know about it.

Okay.

You should have seen the look on her face, Brother-in-law.

I laughed so hard my stomach was in stitches.

-Wei En. -Yeah?

Don't screw with her anymore.

I'm not afraid of her. What can she possibly do to me?

And you should teach people like her a lesson.

That's right. You're not afraid.

That's because you don't know anything at all.

Why are you making enemies at work?

She's your manager.

You're laughing about it now.

But you'll know what others are capable of when you're crying one day.

Don't take others to be fools. You'll be the one suffering.

I'm not afraid of that.

-I was sticking up for you. -I don't need you to do that.

So are you blaming me now?

You don't appreciate my help

and you're blaming me instead.

How can you blame me instead?

You're not helping me, you're creating trouble for me.

Okay now. I wasn't scolding you.

All right now.

I hate you!

Wei En, what are you laughing about?

I saw your dad pissing off Oliver.

When Oliver was mad, he bit him viciously.

Really?

Oliver bit you? Let me see if it's serious.

-Where is it? Do you need to get a shot? -No.

There's no need. It's just a light nibble. Let's eat.

-Really? -Yeah.

Let's eat.

I haven't prepared the soup. You can go on ahead.

-Go on. -Yeah.

An Zhen, Brother-in-law wanted to hit me.

It was the cat that bit you, not Wei En.

Dad, when we're done with dinner later,

I'll hold down Oliver and you can bite him.

Okay.

I'll bite him.

I hate you!

What if she left a scar?

How should I explain it if someone sees it?

This rotten kitty.

Hey, it says here that to have a successful party,

we just have to choose the right theme.

I've found out about this thing

that's popular in America. A barbecue party.

It looks like a breeze. But I'm worried that it's too laid-back.

However, those costume

and rock parties don't seem right, either.

Oh, this is the one. I wanted to show this to you.

It's a romantic French-style.

But look at the ingredients and decorations.

It's expensive.

Isn't this too much?

No, you haven't seen my menu yet.

There's about ten times more than what's here.

I can't believe this.

Have you shown all these materials to my brother?

He's so busy. I'm not showing this to him.

You have so much information here.

Do you have anything about monitoring husbands for an affair?

I don't have that.

But I have information on how to be a good wife. Do you want that?

No, thanks. Give me a break.

Do you think that nothing will happen to you if you're a good wife?

-What kind of things? -I mean a mistress.

There are three things that terrify wives.

An accident, seeing a ghost, and a mistress.

You're crazy.

If you try to be a good wife, there will be no mistress.

Do you think that all husbands have a conscience like your husband?

Okay. Stop wasting time here. For my husband's sake,

I have to make this party a success.

Let's do our best!

You don't appreciate my help

and you're blaming me instead.

I hate you!

Honey, Dad called me earlier. He said his computer broke down again.

He wants me to take him to get it fixed tomorrow morning.

Hey.

Did you hear what I said?

What?

I knew you weren't listening.

What is it? You want to plant some flowers in the yard?

It's not that.

I'm thinking about ideas for the new product advertisement.

I see.

What were you saying before?

I said that Dad's computer broke down again.

He's very nervous about it.

Well, he's addicted to writing blogs.

That's right.

Hey, do you think his computer broke down

because Mom purposely destroyed it?

Why do you think that?

Aren't you always telling me that Mom is always finding faults with me?

She doesn't really mean it.

She wants me to pay more attention to her and have more concern.

So she definitely wants Dad to do the same, right?

But Dad only cares about his readers, who he doesn't even meet in person.

Mom must be really mad.

No matter how mad she is, she wouldn't be childish like Yu Meng

and destroy the computer.

You must think positively.

Yes, you're right.

I must think positively.

Why would I think of Mom as such a mean person?

-Honey. -Yeah?

I'm usually busy with work and have no time to care for you.

Does that make you angry?

I've gotten used to it.

-Don't worry. -Ouch!

What's wrong? Did I hit you too hard?

-It's all right. -Is that the spot where Oliver bit you?

-Let's see how bad it is. -It's okay.

Let's go to bed.

-You're okay? -Yeah.

-Honey. -Yeah?

Don't piss Oliver off ever again.

Oliver is so fierce. He's not a cat. He's a tiger.

That's a fierce tigress.

Oliver is a male cat. He can't be a tigress.

I won't piss her off anymore.

Yeah.

Hey, this idea has almost come to fruition.

We're already talking with the ambassador. We shouldn't make any more changes.

If we keep getting sidetracked, we won't keep up with the schedule.

I know that, but Rui Fan is always saying

that the success of the results matters the most. Right?

The theme Colors of Life is really fitting for this lip balm collection.

Look, together with the original recording of a French oldie,

the result is romantic.

The problem lies with the current societal emotions.

The consumers are concerned about the economy.

They have no time for romance.

I'm worried that this theme won't resonate with society.

That won't happen. You should ask Rui Fan. What do you think, Rui Fan?

Rui Fan.

Sorry, I was in a daze.

We started working on this project early this year.

I know you've put in a lot of effort, Ah Tang.

There isn't much of a problem with the project plan itself.

But Qi Qi's concerns are not unjustified.

So what should we do?

Let's get it together, everyone. We'll brainstorm.

I'm always talking about confidence. It's more important than anything else.

If you have confidence in yourself, then you'll find a way to succeed.

-You have just yet to find it. -You have just yet to find it.

Okay. We'll use our lunchtime to brainstorm.

-Sure. We'll order pizza. -That's good.

There's no need for that. I'll buy everyone lunch today.

Are you serious?

Aren't you saving up for your marriage?

-You're a miser. No way. -You're the miser.

Rui Fan, can we go for lunch now?

I can't. We're having lunch in the meeting today.

Are you still mad at me?

That's not true.

Look at these people. Without a conclusion,

they won't finish this meeting.

Okay. I get it. I'll be going on my own.

I'll have lunch with you tomorrow.

That's okay. I've familiarized myself with the area.

I can have lunch on my own.

Hey.

I wanted to surprise you. It ended up the other way around instead.

How did you know that I was coming up?

It's known as telepathy.

The message is sent from your brain to mine.

Stop it now. Ah Tang must have blurted it out.

I came by to look for you this morning.

He said that you'd be busy with a long-haul meeting today.

So I rushed home

and prepared all these as a reward for everyone.

-Okay, let me take that. -It's okay.

As the manager, you have to be dignified.

I'm going in first.

-Where's your treat? -That's right.

-Just hang on. Why are you so impatient? -I'm hungry.

-We're hungry. -That's right.

-We could've ordered pizza. It's faster. -Hey!

Hey, our dear Mrs. Wen is here. So is our delicious lunch!

-Here it comes. -It's heavy, Mrs. Wen.

-It's okay. -So...

it's Mrs. Wen that's buying us lunch.

-Why did you say that it's you? -Yeah.

Hey, I'm the one that asked Mrs. Wen over. It's just as if I bought the lunch.

All right. Just go ahead.

-Mrs. Wen, you're our cheerleader. -Oh.

Ask Wei En along to eat.

-I just saw her going out for lunch. -That's bad.

-Here, salad for the ladies on diet. -How sweet.

What the hell am I thinking about?

What the hell am I doing?

-My wife is the best. -Thanks, Mrs. Wen.

-Mrs. Wen. -Yeah?

Thanks.

Your cooking was as delicious as always. You must've put in a lot of effort.

It's okay. This is all I can do.

That's right, Ah Tang, I know you're trying your best to save money.

But don't save on food. You must eat well.

Don't take it for granted since you're young now.

-You'll feel it once you're older. -Okay. I get it, Mrs. Wen.

Don't worry. Besides my mom,

you and Rui Fan are the only other people I listen to in this world.

-Okay. I'm leaving now. -Okay.

-I'll inform Rui Fan. -There's no need.

Let him focus on his work, don't disturb him.

-Just inform him later, okay? -Sure.

Mrs. Wen, be careful on your drive home.

-I will. -Okay.

I'll cook for you guys again.

-Okay. Thanks, Mrs. Wen. -Sure.

-Mrs. Wen, bye-bye. -Bye.

Ah Tang, did you see An Zhen?

She just left. She asked you not to see her off.

Honey.

No need to see me off. Carry on with your work.

-Be careful. -All right.

The elevator is here. I have to go. Bye-bye.

Hi, would you like me to show you anything?

Look at my car out there. I just bought it from your carmaker last year.

-Okay. -I'm looking for Wen Rui Xuan.

There's no such person.

What? She's a sales person.

-Wen Rui Xuan. -I told you there's no such person.

Do you understand?

What?

Was Wen Rui Xuan fired again?

No, I wasn't.

Rui Xuan, you're right here.

Did Dora startle you?

Don't be bothered by her. She's always like that.

With that icy attitude of hers, how can she be a sales person?

You don't have to worry about that. Once she sees a manager,

she changes into a very friendly person.

Here's your file. You're so forgetful.

Really.

Where are you going later?

I saw a blue and white porcelain vase. I want to take a look at it again.

Even though it's an imitation, it's made really well.

Why do you want to buy that?

Rui Fan's general manager really likes antiques.

I can't afford the real thing, so I'll just buy a fake one.

I'm thinking of displaying it in the living room during the party.

It will look magnificent.

But the owner wouldn't give me a discount.

-I want to haggle with him again. -Really?

How about this? As a form of gratitude for bringing me my files,

I'll accompany you to haggle.

-Really? -Yeah.

-Can you do it? -Hey, I sell cars.

I've seen countless faces of people haggling.

-I can do it. -Okay.

ARTS CENTER

Sir.

Is money really that important to you?

I've haggled with you for almost two hours and you won't even give me a dollar off.

This is what I want to tell you.

Is money really that important to you?

Money isn't the issue here. It's about the emotions.

When you feel good, I don't.

Please give me a break. Okay?

Sir.

Sir, hang on a moment.

Wait up, sir.

Just sell me the vase and I'll leave with it.

Then you can take a break.

I've already told you.

It's cheap because it's the wholesale price.

I'm really making very little from it.

Moreover, you aren't the only one interested in it.

Why should I sell it to you?

I know your tricks.

There's no other buyer, am I right?

You can think whatever you want.

Thank you.

ARTS CENTER

Did you get it?

I told you so.

I talked with him for ten minutes

and I could tell he doesn't budge when people haggle with him.

You wouldn't believe me.

-You're wasting your time. -Hey.

He's the most stubborn shop owner I've ever met.

Miss.

You're also the most stubborn customer I've ever met.

Are you complimenting me, Wen Rui Xuan?

Fine. I give up.

What should I do? Should I buy it?

The cheaper ones cannot be displayed.

But I can't afford the more expensive ones.

Time is gold.

In the amount of time you spent talking with him,

you've lost more money than any discount.

Okay. Forget it. I'll lose out a little.

I'll buy it if he sells it to me three dollars cheaper.

Okay now, sir. I'll lose out a little.

I'll buy it if you give me three dollars off.

-I've sold that vase. -What?

Pick another one. I'll definitely give you a discount.

Sir, what trick are you trying to pull this time?

I was only outside for a minute and you've sold the vase?

How is that possible? Who are you trying to kid?

Ma'am.

This is the payment I just received. Is this money fake?

I told you that there were others interested in the vase.

But you wouldn't believe me.

Your acting skills are getting better. I didn't see any customer.

Mr. Lan, thank you. I'll send the vase to your place later.

Thanks.

Hold on.

Excuse me.

Did you buy that vase?

Yes.

That vase is really important to me.

I'll pay you. Will you give me that vase?

No.

Hang on. Hey!

I've annoyed the owner twice over that vase.

I spent almost three hours with him. That proves how important it is to me.

Could you please have a heart?

If it's really that important to you, you wouldn't have annoyed him that long.

-I'm sorry. -Hang on.

How about this? I'll add on another three dollars.

Six dollars?

Okay, ten dollars is my limit.

Ma'am.

He doesn't care about those few dollars.

Please don't piss off my customer. Okay?

Not okay. I want to bring the vase home today.

Don't move.

Hey, what are you doing?

You...

No, ma'am.

I knew it. Watch out!

-I'll take it. -Don't break it. Watch out!

Don't move! If you get any closer, I'll sue you for molestation.

Hey.

Take it.

Here you go. Come on.

I'll give you everything.

So are you abducting my vase?

Hey, I didn't ask for the ransom from you.

You're the one who abducted it and now I'm claiming it back.

Fine, I'll give you all the money I have. This vase is mine.

The saddest thing in the world is an unreasonable woman.

So what if I'm unreasonable?

If it's for my husband's sake, then I don't care.

Goodbye.

My vase.

It's all your fault!

Wei En.

Rui Fan.

I heard from An Zhen

that you're going out with your colleagues tonight?

Yes, that's right.

Come home early.

You know how An Zhen is. She can't sleep if you don't return.

Yeah. Thanks, Rui Fan. I got it.

Also,

I wasn't mad at this matter.

Really? That's good.

-Okay, I'm going now. -Okay.

Hello? Oh.

Yes, speaking.

Excuse me. May I know how's it going with the rental house

I asked you to look into for me?

Yes, it's fine if it's a high-rise building.

Because I'm alone and maybe with a cat.

So it's not convenient.

Okay. No problem.

Hey.

That's weird. No matter how I count,

I'm missing six dollars.

Only six dollars?

-Yeah. -Don't forget that

you have a broken vase that cost $200 in addition to that six dollars.

Let me think... You actually lost $206.

I forgot about that. It's just my luck.

The job of a housewife isn't fit for a human.

Luckily I'm smart enough to get an outside job.

Rui Xuan, look at my eyes.

Are they still swollen?

Yeah, a little.

Your brother is busy with a project recently.

So I don't think he'll notice.

But the incident with the vase,

you must never tell him about it. You hear me?

I won't tell him.

But are you still feeling pain from that fall earlier?

Of course it still hurts. It hurts like hell.

It's all your fault for bringing up that $206.

-My heart hurts even more now. -Is that so?

I'll make you feel even more pain. Let me calculate $206 for you.

Didn't you say that you bought three pairs of shoes for $16?

We'll divide $206 by $16

and then multiply it by three.

You could have bought 39 pairs of shoes!

Wen Rui Xuan!

You're annoying. I'm not speaking with you anymore.

Well, it's such a pity.

That vase was really a nice copy.

It would have been perfect for your new clinic.

It's such a pity that it was destroyed in the hands of a crazy woman.

Forget it.

I've decided to pick some real goods for the clinic.

So that the clinic won't look like some junkyard sale.

You know, that's dangerous.

Among Dad's collection, none of it is less than $31,000.

And those are the values from 20 years ago.

If I pretend that it's an imitation and simply display it,

no one would actually think that it's the real thing.

-Oh. Let me try it. -Oh!

What happened today proved my point.

Women are unreasonable primal animals.

-Hm. -That's right.

With the exception of you, Mom.

That's nonsense.

You've only had two girlfriends in the past.

That's enough.

Other women are merely hiding that part of themselves.

So you're not dating women anymore

because you're afraid

that they'll show the crazy side of themselves?

Mom.

Didn't we talk about it?

Don't use your professional judgement as a psychiatrist to analyze me.

If I can't even cure my own son,

who would trust me ever again?

Don't pretend to be pitiful.

I heard that your appointments were full for the next six months.

Honestly,

I was really crazy back in those days.

I really wanted to marry your dad back then.

I was also...

an unreasonable primal animal.

I wouldn't listen to anyone or care about anything.

All I wanted was to marry him. It was all because of love.

That woman today was probably the same.

She couldn't care less, because of love.

If she really did it out of love,

should she be forgiven?

Why should she be forgiven?

Did you lose anything?

That's true.

She even counted wrongly and gave me an extra six dollars.

I'm really curious.

What does she want to do with that vase?

If she's really doing it out of love,

it's all right to let her have the real vase.

Mom.

Where can I find a perfect woman like you?

You're displaying a serious case of the Oedipus complex.

I'll take that back.

You're saying I have a complex with you again.

Mom, didn't you just promise not to analyze me anymore?

Everything about you must be so well-controlled.

Just like this squeaky clean living room.

A clean floor. A perfect kitchen.

And your desire to pursue perfection.

Even with this spaghetti sauce,

you insisted on cooking it to perfection.

Tell me, how could you ever find a perfect woman?

Anyway,

everything about me

and the spaghetti I prepare must be perfect.

I'll never compromise.

What is it? Are you hurt?

It's nothing.

You didn't put the bandages on properly.

Don't hurt yourself over a discount. It's not worth it.

Will it seem shabby if we have the party at home?

How could that be?

Every one's coming over to have fun.

Besides, the general manager doesn't care about the venue.

He has seen all kinds of parties and food.

Just prepare some of your best dishes for them. Okay?

I got it. You should go to bed. You've worked hard today.

I'll wait up for Wei En while watching TV in the living room.

I...

You don't have to.

She's not a kid anymore.

But I can't sleep unless she's home.

Hey, she's back.

I'll prepare some supper for her.

Never mind her. You were busy for the whole day.

You should rest well now. Don't do this.

Go to bed now.

Okay.

Honey, you're so nice to me.

Kang De went on a business trip again? I haven't seen him for several days.

He traveled south.

Was he sent to the border by Ai Lin?

It's not that.

He was sent there to look for new strongholds.

I want him to get some credits for us.

But the border belongs to Ai Lin. It won't be an easy feat.

It's good that he ducked to someplace far away.

If she can't see him, then she'll have her eyes set on others.

So who does she have her eyes on lately?

You don't know, Rui Fan?

It's Li Wei En.

Wei En?

-She didn't tell me. -So what if she tells you?

Are you going head to head with Ai Lin?

By the way,

that Kai Wen from the sales department, are you guys familiar with him?

We can't do that. We don't like each other.

I'm not familiar with him, either.

But there are so many girls who have slapped him.

He's a Don Juan for sure.

So he doesn't have a girlfriend?

I don't know.

Rui Fan, why are you so concerned about him?

You're dumb. It must have something to do with the vice president position.

Rui Fan, do you want me to find out for you?

Never mind.

-Wei En. -Rui Fan.

What are you doing?

Ai Lin is having a meeting and she wants me to make coffee.

Why are you the one making coffee?

She said that newcomers have to do this.

Okay.

Did Kai Wen help you with this?

He's a special assistant. And he's also in the meeting.

Beware of these people. What's the use of having a glib tongue?

People like Kai Wen won't be approved by An Zhen.

He's not wooing me, so he doesn't need An Zhen's approval.

That's because he doesn't stand a chance.

Whatever it is, you'll have lunch with me from tomorrow onward.

You must stay away from him. You must be firm about this. Okay?

I got it.

Also,

when your probation period is over, only then you can consider moving out.

It costs a lot to live on your own.

An Zhen will never agree to it.

Understand?

Yes, Rui Fan.

You're still like a child. It's hard not to worry about you.

Grow up quickly, Li Wei En.

Okay.

Thank you.

With these decorations from you, the party will be so special.

You're welcome. I won't be seeing you out.

-Okay. Thanks. -Bye-bye.

DAD

Hello, Dad?

Yes, your netizen friend is really nice.

She gave me a lot of candles

and didn't ask for any money. She's just giving it to me.

Yes, it's all thanks to your blog.

Okay, Dad. Lower your voice. Mom will get mad again if she hears you.

Okay.

-Bye-bye. -Hello, sir.

Anyone here that needs to buy insurance?

What insurance? You even came here for your business?

Did the security allow you in?

Why are there people still doing door-to-door sales?

Isn't this method outdated?

-No, sir. My product-- -Enough. Leave now.

He's fierce.

He's too much though.

Oh? It's you?

It can't be true. Do you live in this building?

No, I'm just here to pick up some things.

I hope that you'll have better luck

-at your next destination. -What?

That guy before, he was too much.

It's fine if he doesn't want insurance. He doesn't have to be so fierce.
