Office Girls (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 24 - Episode #1.24 - full transcript
Comrades.
The company's central leadership
has encountered
periodic internal struggle.
In order to ensure our department's
strategy of sustainable development
and the great revolutionary path,
in order to maintain
the stability of the corporation
and continuous forward development,
when circumstances prove to be more dire,
the need to show collaborative harmony
of our internal structure also becomes
more necessary and urgent.
This crisis again solemnly tests
our wisdom and ability.
Members of our working class,
especially those of you
busy doing nothing,
busy spacing out,
busy flirting,
you should be on your best behavior.
If you're caught making a mistake
and drag me down with you,
I'll come back
as an evil spirit and haunt you!
Hail, leader!
Mr. Shi, you should think positively.
Now that two executives are gone,
this is the best opportunity
for anyone who wants to ascend
the corporate ladder.
That's right, I've been here for so long.
It's finally my time to shine!
If Mr. Shi can climb up,
that means all of us have a chance!
That's true!
It makes sense!
If my vacuum pump kicks in,
and I accidentally overtake you,
and become your supervisor,
I hope you won't mind.
A full throttle racer, huh?
Not bad. Keep up the good work.
You'd be lucky to catch my tail lights.
What if you crash first?
Have you heard?
Rumor has it,
Mr. Hu and Mr. Tu got suspended
because they got kickbacks
from vendors.
Could it be true?
Jing Shi is long overdue for a shake-up.
I think this is just the beginning.
I don't think it'll end so soon.
I think before things stabilize,
Mr. Chairman will likely
lead the company himself.
Wouldn't that be a lot of work for him?
Don't worry. I'm here.
You?
What can you do?
You might be overly confident.
If an HR tsunami actually happens,
by the time it reaches us,
there'll only be tiny bubbles left.
Do not underestimate yourself.
We are the new blood of Jing Shi.
Jing Shi needs to get rid of the old
and welcome the new.
It's about sustainable development.
The future of this company relies on us.
Why are you laughing?
Nothing.
I just think how you got all pumped up,
aspiring for a better future,
it's kind of cute.
Was that a compliment?
Shen Xing Ren,
when you complimented me,
I suddenly found you to be
so hot, so pretty,
and so feminine.
Xing Ren,
did you see the latest announcement?
Yeah, you mean the thing
about Mr. Hu and Mr. Tu?
No.
That's not the latest news.
Zheng Kai Er got promoted
to manager of Leasing.
She's temporarily taking over for Mr. Hu.
Kai Er.
Congratulations on making manager.
Congratulations, Ms. Zheng.
Mr. Hu has been touching me
inappropriately over the years.
He has forced me to attend
unnecessary social events with clients.
People see me as his favorite,
but no one knows,
I've been painfully enduring him.
Your nightmare is over.
You don't have to put up with him anymore.
Ms. Zheng, I've always thought
you're an amazing person.
I often tell myself,
I must learn from you.
I should learn from you.
Learn from me?
I don't think you'd gain anything from me.
Except I'm good at saving money.
You excel at it,
to the point of being stingy.
Xing Ren, there's something
I must tell you in person.
Zi Qi and I,
we're just friends now.
Please don't mind
the things I said to you before.
If I caused any misunderstanding,
I'm really sorry.
No, it's fine. Don't worry about it.
Also, I hope we can be friends.
Like you and Lele.
I've always been a loner.
I always remind myself
there are no friends in the workplace,
only competitors.
But your friendship with Lele has changed
my perception about colleagues.
Ms. Zheng, say no more.
I'm happy to be your friend.
Really?
The three of us
should have dinner some time.
- Sure.
- Sure.
Not you.
I mean me, Lele and Xing Ren.
Sure, let's make plans later.
You should get back to work.
Ms. Zheng, see you later.
Let's go to the movies tonight.
No.
Two tickets would be 18 bucks.
It's expensive.
Let's just rent a DVD,
and buy popcorn from the store.
Why rent a DVD for the first date?
You're going to New York.
Just go to the cinema once.
Come on!
Why can't you be thriftier?
You only just got paid, remember?
It's true, I'm going to New York.
- If you're not thrifty, then--
- Fine.
DVD it is.
Good.
Well, is it good?
It is.
See? I told you so.
Going to the movies would cost money
for gas and tickets.
Movie theater popcorn is so expensive.
A small bag of it would cost--
Please don't be such a party pooper.
This is our first date.
Don't talk about money.
It's the perfect atmosphere now,
we should really delve into the movie.
So then later we can--
Can you please
not be such a party pooper?
You're always nagging.
This is our first date,
can you please be less--
...because we both have feelings
for each other.
What I said just now
came directly from my heart.
But you still need to repay me
for mental injury.
Liang Mu Cheng, I hereby
demand compensation from you.
In the form of...
staying with me forever.
You're not going to the U.S. for sure?
I still need to go.
The conference only takes one day.
I'll be back in three days anyway.
I've already forgiven you.
I planned to talk to you
after coming back from the U.S.
But you took action and proposed to me,
so I had to say yes.
So you're not going to work there?
What about the one way ticket?
That's for Xiao Ling.
She's working in the States for a while.
So I had it booked for her.
If you have forgiven me already,
why did you send me the divorce papers?
Because I forced you
into the marriage the first time...
but I wasn't sure about your feelings
so I hoped that you could
consider it again.
and left the choice to you,
but it didn't mean
I don't want to be with you.
I wanted you to be sure about it.
Weren't you afraid that I'd sign it?
It's okay. It requires two witnesses
to validate the papers.
Even if you had signed it,
it would still have been invalid.
You're a real criminal mastermind.
How could I have fallen for a lawyer?
Then you have to stay with me.
Let's go.
I want to go home
and see our cute little kidnapper.
Where are you going?
Actually, anywhere is fine for me.
With you by my side,
there will always be happiness.
What's this, Qin Zi Qi?
So you can justify
being distracted at work.
Thanks for being so considerate.
I have one, too.
Is she hot or not?
Yes.
Try kissing the photo.
See if there's a telepathic reaction.
What?
Come on, give it a shot.
Wait a minute.
Why don't you try it?
Did you feel it?
Feel what?
You try it.
What?
I felt it.
You felt what?
What in the world are you doing?
I thought you were supposed to be low-key?
PDA at the office?
Have you no shame?
You have the worst timing possible.
Sir, I'm so sorry.
Let me know if you need anything.
Here.
Thank you, Sir.
Please enjoy your dinner.
What the--
Who do you think you are?
I'm the boss of Operations.
How dare you boss me around?
I have finally achieved
this mighty position,
it's time to enjoy my privileges.
Fine, don't get all nasty.
Ms. Xing Ren, look at your Qi Zi.
He's messing with me.
Don't you know?
I did everything I could
to talk to the higher-ups on your behalf.
I finally got them to approve your request
for taking time off.
Really?
You have no idea.
Asking for time off during mid-year sales
is harder than climbing up Taipei 101.
I had to beg and plead
in order to make the impossible happen.
That's right.
Thank you, Mr. Shi.
Don't thank me.
Ask your boyfriend
to delete the recording.
Twice a month,
I'll burn incense for you.
Fine.
Don't say I don't take care of you.
Tonight, let's go to Yangmingshan
and enjoy the night views, all right?
Sure!
Give me 30 bucks per person.
I have finally achieved
this mighty position...
Never mind, it's my treat.
Sure!
Qin Zi Qi.
Come here.
Can I ask you to do me a favor?
A small, tiny, minuscule favor?
What?
Well,
can you ask your Xing Ren
to get Lele to come, too?
You want me to get Lele to come?
That's right. Please do me this favor.
Come on, he's weak.
Wigging out.
Do him this favor.
All right. I can ask.
But if she says no,
I can't help you.
Let's do a hot springs bath?
Mr. Shi, I'm doing this for you.
Bad boy, you sure know what to do.
Where should we go play after that?
Mr. Shi, what do you have in mind?
You know--
Dirty!
You must turn on cold water,
then hot water, and test the temperature.
You're dirty!
What's wrong?
My mom didn't answer.
I called her many times.
Her phone's often turned off lately.
Don't worry.
We'll go visit her
before you leave for New York.
When's your flight?
I think it's next week.
Wei Min Na has already
taken care of everything.
Now I'm just waiting for my U.S. visa.
I should be able to go soon.
I used to study abroad.
There are places you cannot miss.
Like Broadway,
Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art.
It's one of the best
art museums in the world.
And Blue Note Jazz Club!
Little Italy's pizza is good.
I used to go every week.
Fifth Avenue,
I'm sure Wei Min Na is familiar.
You have to check out Times Square, too.
If I have time, I'll be sure
to visit those places.
Take a bunch of photos.
Seriously, you don't seem like
someone who's studied abroad.
That's rude.
I'm actually an MBA graduate.
I've got the diploma.
I didn't mean it like that.
I mean,
your family owns a corner store, right?
You don't have much money.
How could you study in New York?
It's expensive to study abroad.
Actually,
I...
What?
They mortgaged the corner store
to get a loan from the bank,
that's how I was able to go.
That must be tough on your parents.
I had it rough, too.
I'm still paying off the loan.
Then how did you live in New York?
Everything's so expensive there.
You can't take care of yourself.
Did you live on instant noodles?
That's right.
You really seem to have had it rough.
I did.
It was really rough living there.
Qin Zi Qi,
are you playing the pity card again?
Not at all.
- Are you BFFs with Shen Xing Ren?
- I am.
I'm now the boyfriend of your BFF.
That means we're also best friends.
Best friends?
I don't think so.
You're just an old man.
None of that matters.
We're going to enjoy night views tonight.
Do you want to come?
I don't want to be your third wheel.
You won't be.
There will be someone else there,
who's eager to spend time with you.
Who?
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Shi.
Not at all.
I just had the car washed and waxed.
It's nice and clean and sparkling now.
Mr. Shi, why are you so nice today?
You're taking us to see the night views?
Look at Qin Zi Qi.
A wolf in sheep's skin,
yet clever and smart.
Look at Shen Xing Ren.
Simple-minded but hard-working.
As their manager,
I would not be doing right by them
if I didn't reward these two clowns.
Mr. Shi, how come the more I look at you,
the more you're a life-size cockroach?
So objective.
What is the thing called love?
Why does it make people die for it?
I prioritize love, hence,
I'm a cockroach that won't die.
Here you go.
Sorry, the back seat is full.
Listen,
leave the back seat
for the sweet couple to enjoy.
The love seat in the front
is for the two of us.
Watch your head.
Here.
My secret garden.
We can soak in the hot springs,
enjoy the starry night views,
and a real manliest of men.
Stupid.
Xing Ren, forget him.
Let's head in.
What "manliest of men"?
Come here, boy.
- You know why I prefer this place?
- Why?
Most bath houses separate
the men and women.
Here, it's a mixed gender bath.
I'm going to show Lele
my big cock...y muscles.
You sure are a beast.
Thanks.
Tonight, I just want to be half-beast,
an Orc.
MIXED GENDER BATH OUT OF ORDER
Let's go.
I don't want to.
Let's go.
It's a bad idea.
The place is full but you insisted.
Let's go.
So sad.
I finally got my big chance,
and now it's wasted.
Hot springs without Lele
isn't even hot anymore.
You sure are happy.
You're enjoying all the goodies.
What goodies?
If it weren't for you,
I'd be at home enjoying delicious pasta
with Shen Xing Ren.
If I had known it'd be with you,
I'd rather shower at home.
Fine.
You're so sweet together.
I just have a sad crush.
Seriously,
you're joined at the hip with her.
What good would that do you?
You should hang out more often
with a hardcore manly man like me.
I don't think so.
Here.
- It's so funny!
- Are you for real?
Michael chased away
the man who tried to pick me up.
People like that are so rare now.
Once at the subway station,
a drunk guy was yelling at people,
Michael simply grabbed him
and tossed out of the train.
He's so awesome.
He's willing to do what's right.
He's also courageous and talented.
Where can you find a man like that?
You really look up to him.
I think,
Michael is just lucky
he didn't run into gangsters
or someone with a gun.
Mr. Shi, how dare you eavesdrop on us?
No, I wasn't eavesdropping.
I accidentally overheard.
- Ask him if you don't believe me.
- I had nothing to do with it.
Qin Zi Qi,
how long have you been eavesdropping?
Not me. It was Shi Te Long.
I wasn't eavesdropping.
It's the way the bath house is built.
I accidentally overheard you.
Shut up!
Xing Ren, they're so noisy.
We should come back on our own.
What do you say?
Fine.
But we're taking separate baths.
What?
What's the matter with you?
What are you laughing at?
It feels so great
after the hot springs bath.
I think I'll sleep well tonight.
I'm sure.
Why don't you hit the sack now?
What's the matter with you?
You keep telling me to go to bed.
What are you up to?
Nothing.
Really?
Why do I smell something,
like an attempt to commit a crime?
Your sense of smell is great,
you should become a K-9 cop.
You're so mean.
I'll let it go
for Xing Ren's sake.
But next time please don't ask me to go
to anything involved with Shi Te Long.
I'm going to bed.
Good night.
Good night.
Shouldn't you be heading back now?
Lock up for me.
Good night.
Wait!
It's too early for bed.
It's not early. We have work tomorrow.
Dream House needs a regular check-up.
It'd be sad if it had leaks.
I'll go check it.
I'll let you know if it has leaks.
Well, then, can we maybe--
Good night.
I'll roshambo with you.
For what?
If I win, kiss goodbye.
You win, peck on the lips.
"If I win, kiss goodbye.
You win, peck on the lips."
- Isn't that the same thing?
- Not at all. They're different.
Peck on the lips is also a kiss.
No, there's "goodbye" in kiss goodbye.
Peck on the lips makes a noise.
You get it now?
So sweet.
Can I spend the night here?
Not a phone call.
Not even a text.
Fine. Don't call me.
Ms. Mina,
if you care about him so much,
why don't you call him?
Why?
He should make the first call, not me.
I'm so mad just thinking about it.
You didn't know him
back when he just started out.
When he went to Asia Fashion Design Show,
he sat all by himself.
He was all alone, so sad.
We've been through so much together.
Now he's a big shot, he's forgotten us.
So ungrateful!
No, I don't think he's like that.
What? You know him well?
I don't know him as well as you do.
I can only draw on my experiences
of working with him.
I don't think he's like that.
I'll be right back.
Look.
What's this?
This is the first dress he ever sold.
I was really poor at the time.
But he sold it to me
for just 15 bucks.
If it weren't for him,
I'd have had to wear my uniform
to my graduation party.
Why is he so nice to you?
It's not that.
It's because
I was his first-ever customer.
Before that, he couldn't sell anything.
He almost gave up on fashion design.
This is the sketch of this dress.
It's been so many years.
He still kept it all this time.
One time, he gave it to me,
as encouragement.
He remembers all these things.
He can't forget what you did for him.
If he was an ungrateful person
because he's made it big,
he wouldn't have kept the sketch.
He didn't have to tell me
how he couldn't sell his clothes.
After all that,
you mean to say
Cheng Feng didn't change.
It's me who's changed.
It's all my fault
that we've come to this.
No.
That's not what I mean.
You're the ones in the relationship.
There are things
only the two of you understand.
I just think,
you obviously like each other so much,
yet you've come to this.
Don't you think it's a shame?
He doesn't think so.
You know,
we broke up
because he brought it up.
Ms. Mina,
do you still love him?
That's unacceptable!
He hasn't called once?
That makes no sense.
He shouldn't be distracted
by anything else anymore.
Xing Ren is my girlfriend now.
He doesn't like me.
Old Yu is unbelievable.
He is what he is today,
all thanks to the goddess of fashion.
Now it's like he's disappeared
off the face of the earth.
Maybe he's meditating in a cave?
Well, it's not all because of me.
Although my family did invest in him,
he worked really hard,
and he is very talented.
Otherwise,
he'd never have made it in Europe.
Listen,
if he doesn't call you, I'll call him.
Wait, don't do that.
Why?
Are you worried about him?
When he achieves Nirvana,
who will worry about you?
- I'm not worried about him.
- That's right. You're incredible.
Why stay with a middle-aged man?
No one will praise you for it.
You're worried
others won't find you attractive?
No way. Who do you think I am?
Wei Min Na!
You're so hot.
Men fall for you left and right.
Am I right?
Yes.
Come on, eat up.
Ms. Mina, let's eat.
You should eat more.
Come on.
I'm not feeding you.
What? Are you a kid?
Why aren't you eating, Ms. Mina?
You're not used to having
this kind of breakfast?
It's not that.
I thought there was something
between you and him.
But now seeing the two of you,
I was way out of bounds.
You don't need to miss him, really.
Indian philosopher
Krishnamurti once said,
"Fear is one of the greatest
problems in life.
A mind that is caught in fear
lives in confusion, in conflict,
and therefore must be violent, distorted,
and aggressive.
It dare not move away
from its own patterns of thinking,
and this breeds hypocrisy."
But that's not the point.
The point is, you should find
the next true love.
You should forget him.
Do you feel better?
Forget him.
- I think I feel better.
- Come on!
- Forget him.
- Qin Zi Qi!
What are you talking about?
You been watching too much TV?
Stop throwing fuel on the flame.
What good would that do?
I already threw a gallon of fuel,
but she won't let go and light the fire.
That's not true.
That's right. Go out and date.
Let him know you're still very popular.
Quit coming up with lousy ideas.
Just eat.

If my vacuum pump kicks in,

A full throttle racer, huh?
Not bad. Keep up the good work.
You'd be lucky to catch my tail lights.

Sure, let's make plans later.
You should get back to work.
Ms. Zheng, see you later.
Let's go to the movies tonight.
No.
Two tickets would be 18 bucks.

Actually, anywhere is fine for me.
With you by my side,
there will always be happiness.
What's this, Qin Zi Qi?
So you can justify
being distracted at work.
Thanks for being so considerate.
I have one, too.
Is she hot or not?
Yes.
Try kissing the photo.
See if there's a telepathic reaction.
What?
Come on, give it a shot.
Wait a minute.
Why don't you try it?
Did you feel it?
Feel what?
You try it.
What?
I felt it.
You felt what?
What in the world are you doing?
I thought you were supposed to be low-key?
PDA at the office?
Have you no shame?
You have the worst timing possible.
Sir, I'm so sorry.
Let me know if you need anything.
Here.
Thank you, Sir.
Please enjoy your dinner.
What the--
Who do you think you are?
I'm the boss of Operations.
How dare you boss me around?
I have finally achieved
this mighty position,
it's time to enjoy my privileges.
Fine, don't get all nasty.
Ms. Xing Ren, look at your Qi Zi.
He's messing with me.
Don't you know?
I did everything I could
to talk to the higher-ups on your behalf.
I finally got them to approve your request
for taking time off.
Really?
You have no idea.
Asking for time off during mid-year sales
is harder than climbing up Taipei 101.
I had to beg and plead
in order to make the impossible happen.
That's right.
Thank you, Mr. Shi.
Don't thank me.
Ask your boyfriend
to delete the recording.
Twice a month,
I'll burn incense for you.
Fine.
Don't say I don't take care of you.
Tonight, let's go to Yangmingshan
and enjoy the night views, all right?
Sure!
Give me 30 bucks per person.
I have finally achieved
this mighty position...
Never mind, it's my treat.
Sure!
Qin Zi Qi.
Come here.
Can I ask you to do me a favor?
A small, tiny, minuscule favor?
What?
Well,
can you ask your Xing Ren
to get Lele to come, too?
You want me to get Lele to come?
That's right. Please do me this favor.
Come on, he's weak.
Wigging out.
Do him this favor.
All right. I can ask.
But if she says no,
I can't help you.
Let's do a hot springs bath?
Mr. Shi, I'm doing this for you.
Bad boy, you sure know what to do.
Where should we go play after that?
Mr. Shi, what do you have in mind?
You know--
Dirty!
You must turn on cold water,
then hot water, and test the temperature.
You're dirty!
What's wrong?
My mom didn't answer.
I called her many times.
Her phone's often turned off lately.
Don't worry.
We'll go visit her
before you leave for New York.
When's your flight?
I think it's next week.
Wei Min Na has already
taken care of everything.
Now I'm just waiting for my U.S. visa.
I should be able to go soon.
I used to study abroad.
There are places you cannot miss.
Like Broadway,
Metropolitan Museum of Art,
and MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art.
It's one of the best
art museums in the world.
And Blue Note Jazz Club!
Little Italy's pizza is good.
I used to go every week.
Fifth Avenue,
I'm sure Wei Min Na is familiar.
You have to check out Times Square, too.
If I have time, I'll be sure
to visit those places.
Take a bunch of photos.
Seriously, you don't seem like
someone who's studied abroad.
That's rude.
I'm actually an MBA graduate.
I've got the diploma.
I didn't mean it like that.
I mean,
your family owns a corner store, right?
You don't have much money.
How could you study in New York?
It's expensive to study abroad.
Actually,
I...
What?
They mortgaged the corner store
to get a loan from the bank,
that's how I was able to go.
That must be tough on your parents.
I had it rough, too.
I'm still paying off the loan.
Then how did you live in New York?
Everything's so expensive there.
You can't take care of yourself.
Did you live on instant noodles?
That's right.
You really seem to have had it rough.
I did.
It was really rough living there.
Qin Zi Qi,
are you playing the pity card again?
Not at all.
- Are you BFFs with Shen Xing Ren?
- I am.
I'm now the boyfriend of your BFF.
That means we're also best friends.
Best friends?
I don't think so.
You're just an old man.
None of that matters.
We're going to enjoy night views tonight.
Do you want to come?
I don't want to be your third wheel.
You won't be.
There will be someone else there,
who's eager to spend time with you.
Who?
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Shi.
Not at all.
I just had the car washed and waxed.
It's nice and clean and sparkling now.
Mr. Shi, why are you so nice today?
You're taking us to see the night views?
Look at Qin Zi Qi.
A wolf in sheep's skin,
yet clever and smart.
Look at Shen Xing Ren.
Simple-minded but hard-working.
As their manager,
I would not be doing right by them
if I didn't reward these two clowns.
Mr. Shi, how come the more I look at you,
the more you're a life-size cockroach?
So objective.
What is the thing called love?
Why does it make people die for it?
I prioritize love, hence,
I'm a cockroach that won't die.
Here you go.
Sorry, the back seat is full.
Listen,
leave the back seat
for the sweet couple to enjoy.
The love seat in the front
is for the two of us.
Watch your head.
Here.
My secret garden.
We can soak in the hot springs,
enjoy the starry night views,
and a real manliest of men.
Stupid.
Xing Ren, forget him.
Let's head in.
What "manliest of men"?
Come here, boy.
- You know why I prefer this place?
- Why?
Most bath houses separate
the men and women.
Here, it's a mixed gender bath.
I'm going to show Lele
my big cock...y muscles.
You sure are a beast.
Thanks.
Tonight, I just want to be half-beast,
an Orc.
MIXED GENDER BATH OUT OF ORDER
Let's go.
I don't want to.
Let's go.
It's a bad idea.
The place is full but you insisted.
Let's go.
So sad.
I finally got my big chance,
and now it's wasted.
Hot springs without Lele
isn't even hot anymore.
You sure are happy.
You're enjoying all the goodies.
What goodies?
If it weren't for you,
I'd be at home enjoying delicious pasta
with Shen Xing Ren.
If I had known it'd be with you,
I'd rather shower at home.
Fine.
You're so sweet together.
I just have a sad crush.
Seriously,
you're joined at the hip with her.
What good would that do you?
You should hang out more often
with a hardcore manly man like me.
I don't think so.
Here.
- It's so funny!
- Are you for real?
Michael chased away
the man who tried to pick me up.
People like that are so rare now.
Once at the subway station,
a drunk guy was yelling at people,
Michael simply grabbed him
and tossed out of the train.
He's so awesome.
He's willing to do what's right.
He's also courageous and talented.
Where can you find a man like that?
You really look up to him.
I think,
Michael is just lucky
he didn't run into gangsters
or someone with a gun.
Mr. Shi, how dare you eavesdrop on us?
No, I wasn't eavesdropping.
I accidentally overheard.
- Ask him if you don't believe me.
- I had nothing to do with it.
Qin Zi Qi,
how long have you been eavesdropping?
Not me. It was Shi Te Long.
I wasn't eavesdropping.
It's the way the bath house is built.
I accidentally overheard you.
Shut up!
Xing Ren, they're so noisy.
We should come back on our own.
What do you say?
Fine.
But we're taking separate baths.
What?
What's the matter with you?
What are you laughing at?
It feels so great
after the hot springs bath.
I think I'll sleep well tonight.
I'm sure.
Why don't you hit the sack now?
What's the matter with you?
You keep telling me to go to bed.
What are you up to?
Nothing.
Really?
Why do I smell something,
like an attempt to commit a crime?
Your sense of smell is great,
you should become a K-9 cop.
You're so mean.
I'll let it go
for Xing Ren's sake.
But next time please don't ask me to go
to anything involved with Shi Te Long.
I'm going to bed.
Good night.
Good night.
Shouldn't you be heading back now?
Lock up for me.
Good night.
Wait!
It's too early for bed.
It's not early. We have work tomorrow.
Dream House needs a regular check-up.
It'd be sad if it had leaks.
I'll go check it.
I'll let you know if it has leaks.
Well, then, can we maybe--
Good night.
I'll roshambo with you.
For what?
If I win, kiss goodbye.
You win, peck on the lips.
"If I win, kiss goodbye.
You win, peck on the lips."
- Isn't that the same thing?
- Not at all. They're different.
Peck on the lips is also a kiss.
No, there's "goodbye" in kiss goodbye.
Peck on the lips makes a noise.
You get it now?
So sweet.
Can I spend the night here?
Not a phone call.
Not even a text.
Fine. Don't call me.
Ms. Mina,
if you care about him so much,
why don't you call him?
Why?
He should make the first call, not me.
I'm so mad just thinking about it.
You didn't know him
back when he just started out.
When he went to Asia Fashion Design Show,
he sat all by himself.
He was all alone, so sad.
We've been through so much together.
Now he's a big shot, he's forgotten us.
So ungrateful!
No, I don't think he's like that.
What? You know him well?
I don't know him as well as you do.
I can only draw on my experiences
of working with him.
I don't think he's like that.
I'll be right back.
Look.
What's this?
This is the first dress he ever sold.
I was really poor at the time.
But he sold it to me
for just 15 bucks.
If it weren't for him,
I'd have had to wear my uniform
to my graduation party.
Why is he so nice to you?
It's not that.
It's because
I was his first-ever customer.
Before that, he couldn't sell anything.
He almost gave up on fashion design.
This is the sketch of this dress.
It's been so many years.
He still kept it all this time.
One time, he gave it to me,
as encouragement.
He remembers all these things.
He can't forget what you did for him.
If he was an ungrateful person
because he's made it big,
he wouldn't have kept the sketch.
He didn't have to tell me
how he couldn't sell his clothes.
After all that,
you mean to say
Cheng Feng didn't change.
It's me who's changed.
It's all my fault
that we've come to this.
No.
That's not what I mean.
You're the ones in the relationship.
There are things
only the two of you understand.
I just think,
you obviously like each other so much,
yet you've come to this.
Don't you think it's a shame?
He doesn't think so.
You know,
we broke up
because he brought it up.
Ms. Mina,
do you still love him?
That's unacceptable!
He hasn't called once?
That makes no sense.
He shouldn't be distracted
by anything else anymore.
Xing Ren is my girlfriend now.
He doesn't like me.
Old Yu is unbelievable.
He is what he is today,
all thanks to the goddess of fashion.
Now it's like he's disappeared
off the face of the earth.
Maybe he's meditating in a cave?
Well, it's not all because of me.
Although my family did invest in him,
he worked really hard,
and he is very talented.
Otherwise,
he'd never have made it in Europe.
Listen,
if he doesn't call you, I'll call him.
Wait, don't do that.
Why?
Are you worried about him?
When he achieves Nirvana,
who will worry about you?
- I'm not worried about him.
- That's right. You're incredible.
Why stay with a middle-aged man?
No one will praise you for it.
You're worried
others won't find you attractive?
No way. Who do you think I am?
Wei Min Na!
You're so hot.
Men fall for you left and right.
Am I right?
Yes.
Come on, eat up.
Ms. Mina, let's eat.
You should eat more.
Come on.
I'm not feeding you.
What? Are you a kid?
Why aren't you eating, Ms. Mina?
You're not used to having
this kind of breakfast?
It's not that.
I thought there was something
between you and him.
But now seeing the two of you,
I was way out of bounds.
You don't need to miss him, really.
Indian philosopher
Krishnamurti once said,
"Fear is one of the greatest
problems in life.
A mind that is caught in fear
lives in confusion, in conflict,
and therefore must be violent, distorted,
and aggressive.
It dare not move away
from its own patterns of thinking,
and this breeds hypocrisy."
But that's not the point.
The point is, you should find
the next true love.
You should forget him.
Do you feel better?
Forget him.
- I think I feel better.
- Come on!
- Forget him.
- Qin Zi Qi!
What are you talking about?
You been watching too much TV?
Stop throwing fuel on the flame.
What good would that do?
I already threw a gallon of fuel,
but she won't let go and light the fire.
That's not true.
That's right. Go out and date.
Let him know you're still very popular.
Quit coming up with lousy ideas.
Just eat.
