Office Girls (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 21 - Objection Overruled - full transcript

Zi Qi tells his father quite sternly that he will easily give up his chance at succession if it means saving the mother of Xing Ren. Meanwhile, Zi Qi's mother realizes that although she ...

- I have a question to ask you.
- What is it?

Qin Zi Qi, you're dirt poor.

You're a nobody at Jing Shi.

How did you get with Zheng Kai Er,
a.k.a. the goddess of Jing Shi?

Mr. Shi, Zheng Kai Er and I
are really just friends.

Fine.

Whatever.

But do share with me,

if you have ultimate tricks
to make girls fall for you.

This takes talent.

Practice alone won't do, Mr. Shi.



Even you'd taunt me so?

Fine, the happy times are over so soon.

It's end of the year again.

If you don't have my back,

then I won't take care of
your annual evaluation and year-end bonus.

Is that a threat?

It's not a threat. It's a fact.

I'm just being impartial
and doing things by the book.

- I'm like the wise King Solomon.
- King Solomon.

I will pass down judgment as I see fit.
Don't come crying to me then.

Fine, I'll teach you a trick for now.

The prerequisite for getting a girl
to even pay attention to you

is you have to know
what "romance" means.

Romance.



But this

romance...

how do you do it?

You really don't know?
Or are you playing dumb?

I honestly have no clue.

Don't you play the guitar?

Write her a song.

Can you play the guitar?

Yes, I learnt it in college.

Get a guitar and sing her a song
downstairs from her apartment.

Sing her a song?

But I'm bad at playing the guitar.

Recite a love poem
by the greatest poet in history.

I guaranteed, Lele's feelings toward you
will experience a great leap.

She'll totally be impressed.

Right. Love song. Love poem.

Last time I saw people doing this,
the TV was still in black-and-white.

Right.

It's old school. Get it?

You had been so mean to Lele before,

now movies, texting,
and taking her to dinner

won't work on her at all.

Don't you know what this is?

This is the ultimate trick.

You're sharing it with me!

As long as you have the guts,
show your depth and elegance,

and you'll be the manliest of men.

As long as you have the courage,
the determination to express your love,

even extra-terrestrial life forms
would be moved to tears.

Right.

Is this really reliable?

It is. Try it, if you don't believe me.

Lastly, bring her a rose.

I'd never fall for those tacky tricks!

You drew all of these?

Do you have any background in design?

No.

You don't have a background in design.

Where did you get the courage
to show me these blueprints?

Our company doesn't allocate any budget
for shops that haven't signed contracts,

so I had to make the blueprints myself.

Although it's all right
if you don't like them.

I can take these back and try other ideas,
then change and edit them, if you'd like.

I never said I didn't like the designs.

I just think you're annoying.

You're making it hard
for me to dislike you.

What?

Nothing, I was saying that
I think it's wonderful

to see a young woman like you,
working so hard.

Well, I wonder,
what are your thoughts on the matter?

Have you decided to open a shop
at Jing Shi Department Store?

I can't change Yu Cheng Feng brand's style
simply because I'm impressed by you.

So...

I've decided
not to open a shop at Jing Shi.

I see.

However, I'd like you
to come to Paris with me.

Go to Paris with you?

I'm in need of a special assistant.

I want your help to run Yu Cheng Feng,

with the flagship stores in Paris,
New York, and Tokyo.

I can't do everything on my own.

Don't worry about the language thing.

I'll pay for your foreign language classes
and EMBA tuition.

Your starting salary is 3,000 Euros,
with a three-month probation period.

After that,
your annual salary will be 70 grand.

However, you'll need to sign
a three-year contract with me.

Right now, Euros to USD exchange rate
is one to 1.13.

Think about it.

One to 1.13!

That means my annual salary
would be nearly 80 grand in USD!

3,000 Euros!

Shen Xing Ren, you're going to be rich!

Even during the probation period,
your monthly salary is 3400 in USD!

Once you're formally on her staff,

your annual salary
will be 80,000 bucks!

By then, you'll be able to buy a mansion,

let alone your dream house!

The heavens have finally
answered your prayers.

Plus, you get to go to Paris,
New York, and Tokyo.

A special assistant?

I'd be willing to be her pet,
if she'd take me.

Liu Yu Le, you're too excited about this.

Won't you be sad if I have to leave?

Of course I would.

Well, why don't you hire me
as your assistant?

It'll be wonderful to work in Paris.

What about Jing Shi Department Store?

We've been working here for four years.

Can you really just pick up and go?

Plus Ms. Feng has been so good to you.

That's true,

but I'm just a lowly employee.

If an employee has
a better future elsewhere,

a supervisor should be happy for her.

Plus, there are always people
coming and going. It's normal.

What's so sad about leaving here?

But...

Jing Shi is my first job out of school.

It's also the place I want to work
for the rest of my life.

When I had to resign
after the red wine incident,

I finally realized
how much I love this place.

Enough of that already.

Paris is too far.

I can't leave my mom here all alone.

Xing Ren, with your salary,

you can fly your mom
in first class to Paris to see you.

Or, you can take your mom to Paris.

You take care of Wei Min Na,
I'll take care of your mother.

You can't be hesitant
about taking this job

because of Qin Zi Qi?

He's just one of the reasons.

He's lazy. He doesn't know
how to take care of himself.

He's immature and rash.

If I'm not keeping him in check,

he'll get fired soon.

That's none of your concern.

He's not your son.

What? You will take care of him?

You want to take care of me
for the rest of my life? No, thanks.

I'd rather swallow glass.

Qin Zi Qi,

what are you doing up here?

Well, I shouldn't have
run my mouth off yesterday.

So I came to apologize.

Where's the doll house?

In my room.

I'll do it. It's fine.

Wait, Qin Zi Qi!

- Who said you could go in my room?
- Hold on.

See?

The dream house became lush
and beautiful instantaneously.

It got 10 more horsepower right away.

Do you feel a gust of fresh air
that is full of hope?

Really? Some pathetic
fake flowers for a fake house?

If you're so great,
buy a real stand-alone house for Xing Ren.

You like doll houses so much?

I'll burn you a paper-house when you die.

What? Are you belittling me right now?

Exactly.

If a penniless man like you can afford it,
I'd be living in a mansion by now.

Anyway, Xing Ren is about to enter
the big earners club.

She doesn't need you worrying for her.

What big earners club?

It's--

The ultimate trick!

"Lele! My Lele!

You and I meet on the sea at night.

You head in your direction,
and I head in mine."

Qin Zi Qi,
what's the matter with Shi Te Long?

Is he all right?

It think it may be a case of sudden
unexpected hydrocephalus or something.

"My Lele!

Let us live! Let us love!

The meaningless chatter
uttered by overly critical people.

Let's treat it
as insignificant triviality.

Let's pay it no mind.

When the sun sets and rises again,

when the ephemeral light has sunken,

we shall forever fall a slumber
in the everlasting night.

My Lele!

Give me a thousand kisses!

Give me a hundred kisses!

Give me another thousand,
a second hundred!

Give me thousands, hundreds of kisses,
without stop.

Give me hundreds of thousands of kisses,

until we lose count.

My Lele!

That way,
the jealous gaze from terrible people

will never fall onto us, ever again.

I wonder how many times we have kissed."

Who's out there? You know what time it is?
Shut up! People are trying to sleep!

Is Shi Te Long crazy?

What is he doing here?
And yelling my name, too?

It's so embarrassing!

Lele,

do you think he might be--

Medusa, I think Mr. Shi
is serious about you.

Otherwise he'd never express it
in such a tacky way.

If you don't respond,

he might set himself on fire.

Fine, I'll go downstairs now
and give him a response.

Liu Yu Le!

What is it?

There's only one way to deal with this.

What's that?

Call the cops.

What a singer.

Lele, you're actually moved by me?

This trick is awesome!

This is for you.

What did you do that for?

What are you doing?

Why are you making noise here
at midnight?

You make my life hell!

No, I thought maybe singing a love song
and reading a love poem

would be appreciated by you.

It's romance.

Not at all.

Your monkey show is going to make me
the laughing stock of this neighborhood.

Get lost!

But I--

You won't leave?

Fine, then I'll file a sexual harassment
complaint against you at the office.

Is it because you think
my song is too dated?

I can sing hip songs, too.

My Lele!

My Lele!

You still remember I love my brunch.
You're not that terrible after all.

How's the discussion on opening your shop?

It's what it is.

You got food all over your mouth.

Here.

The hotel's bed isn't as comfy as yours.

I haven't been sleeping well.

Come back home, if you want to.

If an international supermodel
gets panda eyes from insomnia,

it'd be a worldwide joke.

By the way, I've already looked at
Xin Ren's blueprints.

Although she lacks professional training,
I think the overall concept is good.

Hold on.

We just had a fight over this
a few days ago.

Today, you asked me to brunch,

but it turns out, your only purpose
is to get me to use her designs?

I just wish
you wouldn't give her a hard time,

because she's a very hard-working
little girl.

"Little girl."

That's right, she's a little girl.
I'm a middle-aged woman.

She must be very special to you.

What are you talking about?

I think of her as a little sister.

"Little sister"?

Fine.

I'll take good care
of your little sister for you.

What do you mean?

Nothing.

I offered her a job.
I plan to take her to Paris.

I want her to be my special assistant.

You can't be serious?

I am serious.

I see potential in her,

just like I saw your talents back then.

I plan to nurture and invest in her.

I'll make her
an outstanding business manager.

You of all people should know
if I have the ability to do so.

What I know is,

you're using Shen Xing Ren to coerce me
into returning to Paris with you.

Yes, everything you say is right.

Min Na, please don't be so unreasonable.

Shen Xing Ren isn't your pawn,
neither am I.

I think the two of us should--

We should calm down
and separate for a while.

Calm-- What do you mean
by "calm down"?

What do you mean by that? Huh?

Right now,
we're really not good for each other.

If you want to break up, just say so.

Please, don't do this.

Yu Cheng Feng, you listen and listen well.

If any reporter asks,

you have to tell them
I was the one who dumped you.

You hear me?

I'd like you to help me run
the Yu Cheng Feng brand,

with the flagship stores in Paris,
New York, and Tokyo.

Don't worry about the language thing.

I'll pay for your foreign language classes
and EMBA tuition.

Your starting salary is 3,000 Euros,
with a three-month probation period.

After that,
your annual salary will be 70 grand.

Right now, Euros to USD exchange rate
is one to 1.13.

3,000 Euros!

Shen Xing Ren, you're going to be rich!

Even during the probation period,
your monthly salary is 3400 in USD!

Once you're formally on her staff,

your annual salary
will be 80,000 bucks!

By then, you'll be able to buy a mansion,

let alone your dream house!

Are you upset about something?

No.

You can talk to me, if you're upset.

What is it, Mr. Shi?

Shen Xing Ren!

How's the Wei Min Na project going?

Have you any idea how the GM
got on my case at the meeting earlier?

He said if we dragged our feet anymore,
he'll give the project to Leasing.

Do you know how serious that sounds?

Mr. Shi, I was just going to tell you...

Wei Min Na said

she's decided not to open a shop here.

Why has she decided
not to open shop here?

What's the matter with you?

How come you're less effective
now that you're a team leader?

You've wasted all my efforts
of promoting you to this position.

Why are you going backwards?

Hello, Liu Yu Le?

Mr. Shi is now insulting Shen Xing Ren
with words unfit for family television.

Let me tell you--

What are you doing?

The phone didn't even ring.
You think you can fool me?

Nobody's fooling you.
Talk to her yourself.

- Sure. Give it to me.
- Hello?

Fine, we can talk things out.

Ms. Xing Ren,

I know that beautiful women

are prone to be fickle.

A goddess like Wei Min Na,
a beauty of her class,

she's so sexy and sweet.

I mean,
I have always been very patient.

We can talk things out.
Why don't we head to the food court?

We can sit down and talk it out.

I will listen to you explain
how everything happened.

What do you think?

Sure. That's great.

This way, please.

OLD YU: DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO GO TO PARIS?

France?!

What is it?

Why aren't you working?
Are you slacking off?

Why the long face?

Are you going to France?

What? How did you know about France?

That's not important.
Answer my question first.

You answer my question first.

Did Lele tell you?

Old Yu sent you a text.

How can you spy on my phone?

Lele mentioned big earners.
Does that have to do with Old Yu?

No.

It's Wei Min Na.

How can you not talk to me
about something that important?

Why are you yelling?

I did want to tell you last night.

But you didn't actually do it.
You didn't say anything about France.

Quit yelling at me.

I knew you'd react like this.
That's why I didn't know how to tell you.

Fine, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't care about you.

Anything related to Master Yu
is all my fault.

I apologize. All right?

Qin Zi Qi, please be more mature.

How come every time
anyone mentions Old Yu,

you act like this?

You don't have confidence in me
or in yourself?

Because once you see him,
you become a giggling ditz.

Fine, I'm ditzy.

It's all Old Yu's fault.
It's all my fault.

You're always right. Are you happy now?

- Can't believe I would worry about you.
- How so?

I'm worried if I weren't around,
you'd get fired.

Then don't go!

But--

- But Wei Min Na.
- What about her?

The offer she gave me is really good.

How good?

How much is her offering?
I'll match it.

An 80 grand annual salary.
How can you match that?

It's just 80 grand. It's nothing.

Can't you believe
she'd offer that much?

Don't believe me then.

Is Shen Xing Ren really going to France?

It's just 80 grand!
You think I can't afford it?

What? Even you don't believe in me?

You don't have my back?

Don't forget,
you're living under my roof now.

Fine, I take pity on you.
I'll send her a text.

Does using a text to apologize
seem like you don't really mean it?

Fine, I'm ditzy.

It's all Old Yu's fault.
It's all my fault.

You're always right. Are you happy now?

- Can't believe I would worry about you.
- How so?

I'm worried if I weren't around,
you'd get fired.

Then don't go!

I'M SORRY

I SHOULDN'T HAVE READ YOUR TEXT

PLEASE FORGIVE ME
FOR BEING SO IMMATURE

I GOT SO MAD BECAUSE

I REALLY CARE ABOUT YOU

Where did you learn that song?

I learnt it from a soap opera.

If you go to France, I won't have anyone
to board with. What if I get hungry?

You don't know the language.

What will you do if you run into trouble?

You don't know anyone there.

What happens
if someone takes advantage of you?

I haven't decided yet.

Then stay. Don't go, all right?

Then why do you--

Why do you want me to stay?

Is it just because

there won't be anyone to cook for you?

There won't be anyone to take you to work?

There won't be anyone to do your laundry?

There won't be anyone to bicker with you?

None of that matters.

What matters is--

Hello? Are you kidding me?

Why must you call at this moment?
Are you really that desperate?

This is Wei Min Na. Is Xing Ren around?

Ms. Mina,

what brings you here?

You're running away from home?
How old are you again?

Can I stay with you tonight?

- No.
- Yes.

Yes, of course.

Thanks for taking the luggage up.

Thanks for taking the luggage up.

Thanks for taking the luggage up.

Please sit, Ms. Mina.

You really want to stay here?

Yes.

You don't want me here?

No, I'm just worried
you might not be used to this place.

The hotel is probably more comfortable.

The hotel is comfortable, but it's boring.

Your place is nice.
Look, it feels like home.

Really?

Plus, I feel more at ease being with you.

I mean, we should get to know each other.
It's faster if we live together.

Has Yu Cheng Feng been here before?

He's here all the time.

He was just sitting there
having dinner with her the other night.

Qin Zi Qi,
I think you're talking about yourself.

Did you forget?
You cooked poisonous potatoes for him.

Go.

You see it?

Let me tell you,

Master Yu isn't best at designing clothes.

He's best at having designs on people.

I think his best work is himself.

That's right.

He's always putting on a righteous act.

But the clothes he designs
are just so good!

"Why can't you understand

the persistence and ideals
of my designs?"

That's exactly how he is.

You're so bad.

It's your fault that you let him
run around all by himself.

Let me ask you something.

Do the two of you have plans
to return to France anyway?

I want to go back now.

Then go!

I can't help it. He won't go with me.

I have no idea why he's staying here.
