Office Girls (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 23 - Episode #1.23 - full transcript

Thanks for sticking up for me earlier.

You're welcome.

Why did you help me?

I thought you didn't want me to go.

If I told you not to go,
would you stay?

Anyway, I've thought it through.

Once you go, I can do whatever I want.

Why should I get in my own way?

You should go home.

Qin Zi Qi is so odd.

First he told me to stay.
Now he's telling me to go.



I have no idea what he really means.

You get to go abroad for free.

Why are you being so fussy?

If it were me,
I'd have packed my bags already.

I'm not being fussy.

I just don't know
what Qin Zi Qi is thinking.

You don't know what he's thinking?
Just go ask him.

How can I ask him something like this?

It's weird to ask him stuff like that.

Is it?

Then I'll go ask him for you.

No, don't do that.

Anyway,
I've already said yes to Wei Min Na.

What he thinks doesn't matter anymore.



Xing Ren,

when you're dealing with work and clients,

you're always charging ahead
like a Spartan warrior.

Why are you so soft and indecisive
when it comes to relationships?

Why are you so hesitant anyway?

How dare you criticize me?

I haven't even started with you.

Me?

What about me?

Didn't you say Shi Te Long
is like a life-size cockroach?

He is.

Then why are you using

a beauty product given to you
by a cockroach?

I have problems with the man,
not the beauty product.

Is that right?

It is.

Dinner will be ready soon.

Why don't you sit down?

Let's go out and eat.

Eating out is a waste of money.

How much money do you make a month?
You have money to burn?

It's my treat.

We'll get paid soon, anyway.

But dinner is almost ready.

We can eat in a bit.

Medusa,

you finish making the dinner
and eat it yourself.

I'm having dinner with Michael later.

What in the world?

I thought you were going to take me
to some awesome restaurant.

But we're just eating rice balls
on the side of the road.

It's almost the end of the month.
This is all I can afford.

Do you remember the day we met?

When I found out I was going to be
the dinosaur girl's assistant,

I thought, "Why me?"

I had it worse being the nanny
for a person with severe prince syndrome.

Later, I signed for a package for you,

got scammed,

and got fed food waste.

I really thought the goddess of fortune
must hate my guts.

Qin Zi Qi, what's the matter with you?

You want a fight with me?

No.

Then, you had that red wine incident.

That's when I realized,

you treat everything so seriously.
And you're very responsible.

That's why I told you,

you're the only person in the company
who's qualified to be my supervisor.

When I went to see you
at your mom's place,

I realized you're very good to her,
and you're very considerate.

You seem to be slightly different
from the person I first met.

Why are you saying this to me
all of a sudden?

I just want to tell you,

I think I'm slightly different, too,
from the person you first met.

I've thought it through.

If you want to go to France, go ahead.

Don't worry about me.

Now I can ride a moped.

I can do my own laundry.

It can't be that hard to make pasta.

I think I can survive on a grand.

So you really want me to go?

Yes.

This is for you.

No matter where you go,

I'll be here waiting for you.

Don't worry,
go ahead and pursue your dream.

I will be here, waiting for you.

When you come back,

I'll make the most delicious pasta
in the world for you.

Can I open it now?

The chances of hitting the jackpot
are super-slim.

That's what makes it precious, all right?

Fine.

If I win, I'll share my winnings with you.

SHEN XING REN, CONGRATULATIONS
ON WINNING THE FIRST PRIZE

THE PRIZE IS QIN ZI QIN

Shen Xing Ren.

I like you.

I like you very much.

Shen Xing Ren! You got duped!

This costs less than 1.5 bucks
at the grocery store.

You know he doesn't have much money.

He can't afford 999 roses.

He can't afford a romantic dinner.

It's just a rice ball, a head of broccoli,

and a fake lottery ticket.

All of which add up to
less than three bucks.

And you sold yourself like that?

Qin Zi Qi is taking advantage of you!

This isn't about money.

I think it's meaningful.

He put a lot of thought into it.

You're doomed.

By the looks of you,

he's got you
wrapped around his little finger.

Medusa, you should know,

some things the gods cannot intervene in.

When I come up with
a greater ultimate trick,

if you can't handle it,

you really might lose your head.

Quit your mumbo jumbo!
You think I'd believe you?

- Qin Zi Qi.
- What is it?

I'm warning you,

if you dare make Xing Ren sad,
if you make her shed a single tear,

I'll poke out your eyes
and break your legs.

That's harsh!

If you should dump her
and play around with other girls,

I'll--

My dad only has one son.

I don't care!
Swear you won't break her heart.

Lele, that's not necessary.

I can't help it that you're dumb enough
to fall for a playboy like him.

As your BFF,

if I don't make him swear to loyalty,

he'll definitely walk all over you.

Fine, I'll swear.

If I break Shen Xing Ren's heart,

let me be dirt poor
for the rest of my life.

That means nothing.

You're already poorer than a church mouse.

That's not true.

Plastic debt's written all over your face.

You'll be poor for the rest of your life.

Fine!

If I dump Shen Xing Ren,

even the ugliest woman will not love me.
Is that enough?

Fine, whatever.

Anyway, if you make her sad,

you're dead meat.

Let's go to work.

On our days off,

why don't we go somewhere fun?

Like a hot springs hotel or something?

No.

Why not?

It's expensive.

Neither you or I can afford it.

Can't you be more generous to me?

Why don't you learn from me
and be more thrifty?

Shen Xing Ren, being thrifty and stingy
are totally two different things.

Being generous and living beyond
your means are different things, too.

Shen Xing Ren, we work hard
in order to have a better life.

If you can't have a better--

Good morning, Ms. Zheng.

Good morning.

You guys should talk.

I'm going to punch in.

By the way, last time,

I asked you to give
the chairman a flash drive.

Do you know if he's looked at it?

I'm not sure.

I'll go ask around for you.

You've told Xing Ren how you feel?

That's good, then.

You have to be nice to Xing Ren.

You've already broken one woman's heart.

You can't break another woman's.

Where did you go on your time off?

Nowhere.

I slept for five days
and cried for five days.

I was getting over you
while recharging.

Just kidding.

I went abroad for my vacation.

Don't worry,
the Zheng Kai Er in front of you

is a woman ready to charge forward.

All children are teachable indeed.

Well, you've been here long enough.

Do you have any insight or suggestions?

Yes.

Making money is hard work.

Mister, you only realized that now?

It's hard to make money for everyone.

Leave that aside for now.

Do you have any constructive suggestions?

Too many.

Right now, what Jing Shi
needs to get rid of the most

is the so-called

senior management.

All the executives
the chairman has entrusted

are looking out for their own interests,
instead of the company's interest.

The bureaucratic culture is deep-rooted.

The pay structure is really weird, too.

Those who do little are highly paid.

Good employees who are willing
to devote to the company

cannot be properly rewarded
in a reasonable structure.

I think in this matter,

HR should be more pro-active.

If possible, they should--

My apologies. I haven't done well enough.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean you.

But I'm the head of HR.

I meant no disrespect.

Fine, none taken.

Honestly, though, you have improved a lot.

By now you should understand

the reasoning behind
the chairman's arrangement

for making you work amongst
entry-level employees, right?

You should thank him.

I should thank Shen Xing Ren.

Why should I thank him?

Speaking of your colleagues,
I have a question for you.

Leasing's Zheng Kai Er taking time off.
Did that have anything to do with you?

Zheng Kai Er taking time off
had nothing to do with me.

What's the nature
of your relationship with her?

We're just friends.

What about Shen Xing Ren?

What about you two?

You're bursting with love.
I think you just admitted to it.

Is it that obvious?

Last time I saw the chairman,
I gave him a flash drive.

Will you ask him if he's looked at it?

That's a simple question.

You can ask him yourself.

Don't use me as your messenger.

I already did.

He said that's going over my boss's head.

I say one thing, he gives me a tirade.

I don't want to go to him.

Do you know the content
of the flash drive?

I do not.

How could you give him something
when you don't even know the content?

Don't you know it's very risky?

Please, ask him for me.

Again with this begging act?

Fine.

Thanks, Ms. Feng.

All right. Go back to work.

Thank you, Ms. Feng.

It hurts!

Go back to work.

Bye, Ms. Feng.

Little rascal!

Mr. Chairman?

Mr. Chairman.

What's this?

Just open the files.

All right.

Mr. Chairman,

if this is true, then--

If this is true,

your department will be very busy.

Keep the files safe.

Do not let anyone know about
the content of this flash drive.

Yes, I understand.

How was your chat with Ms. Zheng?

You walked off earlier instead of staying.
Now you're asking me what happened?

That's so strange.

It would have been awkward if I stayed.

If you don't want to tell me, fine.

I don't really want to know anyway.

All right, I'll tell you.

She asked me...

if I've told you how I feel about you.

And then?

And then I said yes.

And then?

And then I think she probably knows
you're my girlfriend.

And then?

And then I think she probably knows
I'm your boyfriend.

And then?

And then I'm thinking you should probably
let me see your cell phone for a second.

This is my classic selfie.

Do not delete it.

It's pretty good.

I'll consider keeping it,

and take it with me to New York.

And then?

And then, if I have time,

I might take it out and look at it.

And then?

And then depending on my mood
and the situation at the time,

I just might give him a call.

And then?

And then you'll have to pay
the phone bill.

If you do make that call,

would the phone call mean
you're missing me?

So childish.

Kai Er,

what's been going on lately?

Operations made me look like a failure

with the Yu Cheng Feng project.

Even Wei Min Na

went running to them.

The strangest thing is

I didn't see you fight back.

Is it me who has failed at leadership,

or has your ability become questionable?

Mr. Hu,

it was me who first contacted Wei Min Na.

However, she went to Shen Xing Ren
all on her own.

You're saying it's not your fault?

Could it be our office's feng shui?

Mr. Hu, when I took my vacation in Europe,

I met with many home appliance designers.

I've also made contact
with many specialty brands.

I will hurry and show you
the result of my efforts.

- Also--
- Not so fast.

I will give you a chance
to remedy your faults.

Tonight, I'm having dinner
with the heir of Fu Teng.

He wants to get to know you.

Why don't you accompany me?

If you can get the heir

to agree to my conditions
for opening a shop at Jing Shi,

then I'll never mention
the Yu Cheng Feng debacle again.

It should be simple enough for you, right?

I'm sorry, Mr. Hu.

I think I'm coming down with a cold.

Is that right?
Then you should go home and rest.

I think I'll take Qi Fen instead.

It's only right to give others a chance.

Otherwise people always say

Ms. Zheng is the only flower at Leasing.

Mr. Hu.

Chairman Qin wants to see you
in the conference room.

Chairman Qin wants to see me?

All right.

Hi, Ms. Feng.

Jian Zhong,

just this year alone,

you've been on study tours with Mr. Tu

to Japan, Europe, America, and Australia.

Having been to so many places,

have you gained anything from it?

Mr. Chairman, I'm now working on
a detailed report on our study tours.

We have contacted innovative products
from different countries.

Of course,
every time Leasing does something,

it's always been successful.

Of course, I'm also working hard

to expand the scope of
limited edition products for Jing Shi.

I've had much success.

Is that right?

Or should I say, you've had much success
in accumulating personal wealth?

Mr. Chairman,
I don't understand what you mean.

This is the evidence, accusing you

of misappropriation of company funds
and taking kickbacks from vendors.

You should think carefully
how you'd like to explain yourself.

That's impossible, Mr. Chairman.

This is a false, malicious allegation.

It's not true.

I've been with you for so long.

Don't you know me at all?

You got your relatives
to open dummy accounts.

I'm sure you've made quite a bit of money
from the company's events budget.

Mr. Chairman, I only did that,

because it would save our company money

if I got my relatives
to handle the events.

Are you telling the truth?

Absolutely.

Well, then,

can you explain the source of funding

you used to purchase luxury real estate
in Shanghai?

Mr. Chairman,

that's my family's investment.

I'm only listed as the owner.

Mr. Hu,

as an executive
at Jing Shi Department Store,

I'm sure you understand

the one thing managers hate the most

is having an underling lie to your face,
while you know they're lying.

Jian Zhong,

you've been working for me for years,
working hard for Jing Shi, I--

I've always treated you as one of my own.

I've always treated you with sincerity.

How could you do this?

Honestly, I'm very disappointed.

Mr. Chairman, I can explain.

All right, now you should go back
and think carefully.

Either I announce your termination,
or you can resign on your own

to save face for both of us.

Mr. Chairman.

Please ask Mr. Tu to come to my office.

Mr. Chairman,

please allow me to remind you.

Mr. Tu has been working closely
with banks all these years,

especially on the matter of loans.

So--

I know what to do.

Just ask him to come to my office.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Qin Mu Bai,
you want to burn bridges with me?

Don't blame me for being heartless, then.
