Office Girls (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 37 - Episode #1.37 - full transcript
Please do it for me.
Won't you forgive him?
MOM
DECLINE
QIN MU BAI
Why did you do that?
You knew I had an agreement with Zi Qi.
You knew I did that for his own good.
Why did you sabotage my plan?
For his own good?
You made my son an errand boy.
You made my son service customers
and hold their bags.
How's that good for him?
I did that so he can grow up.
Can't you tell he's completely different?
Can't you tell he's totally changed?
Can't you tell
he's no longer the spoiled brat
that he once was?
Save your breath.
Zi Qi's identity has been revealed.
You can stop your childish game.
Name him the general manager.
I don't want him as an errand boy anymore.
I won't do it.
I believe even Zi Qi won't do it.
I'm sure you know,
but you won't even admit Zi Qi
is more mature than his own mother.
What you're doing is terrible.
Do whatever you want,
but leave our son be.
What's wrong with me spoiling my son?
Don't be so mean about it.
Overprotective mothers
bring up terrible sons.
If you keep doing this,
you'll make a failure out of him.
Thankfully, Zi Qi knew better.
He didn't let you turn him
back into a spoiled brat.
Qin Mu Bai, get a grip.
I'm a board member of this company.
I'll have the CFO buy back your stocks
with a good price.
You've been so publicly investing
in Gao Li Department Store.
You even poached my talent.
I know all about it.
Please leave.
Don't make me more certain
the only right thing I did in my life
was divorcing you.
You--
You want me to call security?
Royal prince, take care of yourself.
May you have a long and healthy life.
Will you guys cut it out?
I'm the same Qin Zi Qi.
The specialist who makes a grand a month.
You see?
This is the kind of attitude
only royalty possess.
That's why he's our number one.
Give him a round of applause.
Mr. Qin, it is my honor and good fortune
to have the opportunity to work
with a young talent such as yourself.
You're magnanimous,
modest and brave.
I must have been a national hero
in my previous lifetime.
Bow!
Ma'am.
Enough horseplay. Get out now.
Why won't you answer my calls?
I don't know what to say to you.
I'm your mother.
You don't know what to say to me?
Can you stop interfering
with me and Xing Ren?
What do you see in her anyway?
You'll get angry with me over her?
Please, is she good enough for you?
Am I good enough for her?
Can we please adjust our sense of value?
What's wrong with working hard
to pursue your dream?
I don't care.
I don't want you hanging out with
those country bumpkins.
What will I tell my friends?
It's so embarrassing for me.
I don't care what people think.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
It's superficial.
I'm superficial?
I'm doing this for your sake.
Class and status are meaningless
when it comes to love.
I think you just want money.
I want nothing else.
I just want Shen Xing Ren.
Mr. Shi, turns out
she doesn't like Ms. Xing Ren.
I should stay away from Xing Ren,
so she doesn't think we're BFFs.
The two of you know nothing, I tell you.
American President Obama once said,
"In the mortal world, people fall in love.
When you know nothing, everything is odd."
Qin Zi Qi is the chairman's only son.
He'll take over eventually.
Also, Ms. Xing Ren is from Operations.
If she marries the future chairman,
all of us will benefit.
It is said, "Wealth comes with danger.
Pick your side in the workplace."
Furthermore...
Command ship, assemble!
Mr. Shi, slow down.
What in the world?
They both blame me.
I'm only looking out for my son.
What's wrong with spoiling my son?
Ma'am, you're not wrong
for spoiling Zi Qi.
Mr. Chairman is not wrong for
making Zi Qi learn the basics.
It's the people around Zi Qi
who are wrong.
You mean Shen Xing Ren
is a bad influence on him?
I don't know who's had a bad influence
on him. I can't accuse anyone.
But you can observe and find out
who's had an impact on him.
Ask that person to leave him.
What if that person just won't leave
no matter what I do?
You're smarter than I am.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
You're so graceful,
considerate and mature.
I wish my son had better sense.
You're too kind.
Maybe he doesn't think I'm good enough.
If you're not good enough, who is?
Don't you worry, I'll take care of it.
Ma'am, I'm not important.
I just hope Zi Qi can sooner understand
you and the chairman mean well for him.
I hope he can lead everyone at Jing Shi
and achieve even better results.
Mrs. Shen,
I'm going back to work tomorrow.
But you still have to finish your food,
just like today.
You've been so kind to me.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me.
Xing Ren is like a sister to me.
You're like a mother to me.
I'm happy to take care of you.
Are you looking for someone?
I'm Qin Zi Qi's mother.
I'd like to speak with you alone.
Go outside for a minute.
Ma'am, visiting hours end at 10 o'clock.
Be mindful of the time.
You're not a board member
of this hospital.
Please watch your tone.
Mrs. Qin, please have a seat.
No, thanks. I'll just stand.
Also,
Qin Zi Qi's father and I
have long been divorced.
Please call me Ms. Ye.
Ms. Ye.
I always wondered
how Zi Qi came to be so handsome.
Now I know,
it's because his mother is a beauty.
I don't think you'll use this.
Give it to me.
You're rich, just buy it.
It's good for our company's sales.
Why are you so stingy now?
You must have been influenced
by bad people.
I asked the doctor.
He said you'll undergo surgery
in a couple of days.
Are you all right?
Thanks. Thank you for asking.
And thank you for your help.
My daughter told me,
you got the American doctors for me.
Got an American medical team to come.
You probably never even dreamt of
doing something like this.
But to me, it's nothing.
It's not a big deal at all.
I'm from the countryside.
I haven't seen much of the world.
But my daughter is different.
She's a college graduate.
She's not exceptional,
but she's a very good kid.
She's very obedient.
And your son, Zi Qi,
he's so handsome and so kind.
He's such a wonderful child.
My son has always been wonderful.
I don't need you to tell me.
Zi Qi's biggest downfall is
he's too soft-hearted.
He can't help himself.
He's too sympathetic to the disadvantaged.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Please don't read too much into it.
Come in.
Ms. Zheng,
Ms. Feng let me come back to work.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
If you're done, you can go.
Thankfully, Ms. Feng is wise.
So a certain person's scheme
was unsuccessful.
What scheme?
You'd have to ask that certain person.
I wonder what karma that person will get
for trying to set me up and sabotage me?
You must be happy Lele is back to work.
You're amazing.
What are you trying to say?
You are the embodiment of
abusing privilege.
You get away with huge blunders.
You can even cover
for a friend suspected of stealing.
"Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives."
It's unfortunate and disgusting
that Jing Shi has an employee like you
who abuses privilege.
Ms. Zheng, I'm just a lowly team leader.
I have no privileges.
No?
You were a nobody at Jing Shi
for four years.
Once you met Zi Qi,
you got promoted and got a raise.
You knew Zi Qi was the chairman's son.
You approached him on purpose. Right?
That's not true.
I had no idea
Qin Zi Qi was the chairman's son.
Don't explain to me.
It's what our colleagues are saying.
Don't think you can use Zi Qi
to get away with anything.
If you insist on being with someone
who comes from a different world,
you'll end up embarrassing yourself.
Ms. Zheng.
I don't need you telling me what to do
in my own relationship.
This is between me and Qin Zi Qi.
It's none of your business.
You can't eat anything for eight hours
before the surgery.
You can't even drink water after midnight.
I know.
My stomach has been with me for decades.
Now I'm going to bid it goodbye.
After I lose my stomach,
I will lose weight.
I'll also lose my double chin.
I'll have a heart-shaped face.
Then we'll look even more alike.
When we go to the market, people will say
we look like sisters.
We already look alike now.
Whether you have a double chin
or a heart-shaped face,
you're still the most beautiful to me.
If you get any prettier,
people might think I'm your older sister.
You've become such a sweet talker.
You're becoming more like Zi Qi.
Exchanging spit does make a difference.
Mom, what are you talking about?
You have to be good to Zi Qi's parents.
You have to listen to them.
It's in the future. No hurry.
Mom.
Right now, I just hope
your surgery tomorrow is successful.
I hope you can get better soon.
We'll go home together.
Yes, of course, I will get better.
You've taken meticulous care of me.
I will get better.
OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT
Strange, why can't I get the inside clean?
Come on, open up.
Mr. Shi, this is for you.
Is it really you?
No, I don't think so.
Because lovesickness is a weird thing.
Lovesickness is an illness.
So the image of you
is appearing in my mind.
Do you want me to give you a good slap?
If it hurts, it means I'm real.
Do you want to try?
No, thanks.
I know it's you.
Only you'd speak to me like that.
Congratulations on
returning to Jing Shi's workforce.
Congratulations on returning to
Long Long's embrace.
From now on,
whatever you'd like to have for dinner,
it's my treat.
French? Japanese? Taiwanese?
It's all on me.
Mrs. Shen is undergoing surgery today.
I'm not in the mood. Sorry.
Wait up!
Mr. Shi, what the heck?
Don't be mad. I'll pick them up for you.
It's never good when I run into you.
Don't you think it's a familiar scene?
How come I haven't seen
Qin Zi Qi at the office today?
He went to see Xing Ren.
RESIGNATION
I remember now!
Me, too!
Thank you, Mr. Shi.
Thank you!
Lele just hugged me.
I cannot activate if you don't hug me.
Ms. Feng,
I accidentally dropped the documents.
Ms. Zheng picked them up for me.
So?
Mr. Shi said he didn't approve
Xing Ren's resignation.
She must have stolen the resignation
and made changes to it.
Lele, that's a bold assumption.
Do you have proof?
I am the proof.
Ms. Feng, I am absolutely certain.
I only wrote down
"Give her a second chance."
DO NOT GIVE HER A SECOND CHANCE
FENG REN YUE, DEPUTY GM,
ADMIN. DEPARTMENT
Ms. Feng, the resignation letter
and gift certificates seem unrelated.
But there is one thing in common.
It's Zheng Kai Er.
It's too much of a coincidence, right?
But aside from Zheng Kai Er,
Lele is also involved in both incidents.
Ms. Feng, I've already reviewed
the surveillance footage.
Lele didn't steal the gift certificates.
I'm sure it was Zheng Kai Er.
If I'm wrong, I'll quit.
Do you have proof?
Well--
No.
But Ms. Feng,
Lele is a naïve, innocent,
adorable and kind girl.
She stands up for what's right.
You know her better than I do.
She'd never steal.
Lele was framed.
I can guarantee it.
I think I understand,
but we don't have any proof.
We must be even more diligent.
Please keep this a secret for now.
Don't tell anyone, all right?
Yes, Ms. Feng.
You may get back to work.
If there's nothing else,
I'll head back to my office.
Mr. Shi.
Well,
thank you for defending me earlier.
If I was ever rude to you before,
I'm sorry.
That was bad of me.
Did I hear it right?
Were you just--
Can you tell me more?
About what you think of me?
Well, you're not as annoying as I thought.
Hi, I have an inside story for you.
Mrs. Shen.
Zi Qi, you came.
Mom!
Don't be afraid.
I'll be here waiting for you.
Zi Qi, keep my daughter company.
Come here.
You want to see me?
Why else would I call you over?
You know how I'm a learned man.
I know just about everything
under the sun.
However, I have a little question
I'd like to ask you.
What is it?
You're a girl.
Although you don't seem like one,
but I'm pretty sure you are.
The question is,
when a girl is being courted,
what kind of a gift
would make her--
Would move her and make her happy?
Would allow the suitor
to successfully win her over?
That's a no brainer.
I mean, a huge diamond ring.
Diamond ring?
I'm asking for
an average woman's perspective.
Not an advanced gold digger like you.
You're too materialistic.
Not at all, Mr. Shi.
Diamond rings are romantic.
It's romantic to splurge?
Why don't I just give her a box of cash?
Isn't that more romantic?
It's not the same, Mr. Shi.
Watches, purses, and necklaces are tacky.
Gifting someone a diamond ring
has special meaning.
What?
Gifting a ring is
a man's promise to a woman.
Men don't gift rings without forethought.
Unless he wants to
take care of the woman forever.
So a ring is a promise for life.
So romantic.
How come it's not romantic at all
when I see your face?
Go get busy.
Miss.
Doctor, how's my mother doing?
The surgery was a success.
Dr. Dai really is an expert.
He is so very skilled.
All the cancer cells are removed.
Now we're waiting for her
to regain consciousness
in the recovery room.
Then she can return to her room.
We'll keep the cancer in check
with chemotherapy.
It's very likely
she will make a full recovery.
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.
No problem.
She's fine now.
Was the surgery successful?
What are you doing here?
I came to pay the medical bill.
Ms. Ye,
thank you so much for getting
such a great medical team for my mom.
But the medical bill,
we'll pay for it ourselves.
The medical team's plane tickets, lodging,
and target-therapy drugs
total about 220 grand.
What matters is the surgery went well.
It's just pocket change.
Don't worry about it.
Zi Qi, I need to tell you something.
Come with me.
Whatever it is, you can say it here.
It's fine. You guys go ahead.
I'll stay here with my mom.
Maybe I should get terminally ill, too.
Maybe you'll treat me
like you do Shen Xing Ren's mom.
What did you want to tell me?
I'm here to tell you,
I approve of you dating Shen Xing Ren.
Are there strings attached?
No.
I've thought it through.
If you like her so much,
you'll insist on being with her,
no matter what I say.
Why should I be the bad guy?
I don't want you to be mad at me for it.
The other day, I had a chat
with Shen Xing Ren's mother.
She really is very nice.
Even as hard-hearted as I am,
I can't help but like her.
Are you happy now?
Then come here.
I knew you loved me the most.
Of course, you're the only baby I've got.
How's Mrs. Shen?
What about your mom?
She went back.
What did she want to tell you?
She said something about the two of us.
What did she say?
She's fine with us being together.
Really?
I'm sorry.
I know you're upset by the things
that have surfaced recently.
I know.
You've been shouldering my burden
for many things.
Whether it's my mom's illness
or for me.
I'm really grateful
you're willing to stay with me.
Won't you forgive him?
MOM

Mrs. Shen,

You've been so kind to me.
Thank you so much.
Don't thank me.
Xing Ren is like a sister to me.
You're like a mother to me.
I'm happy to take care of you.
Are you looking for someone?
I'm Qin Zi Qi's mother.

and made changes to it.
Lele, that's a bold assumption.
Do you have proof?
I am the proof.
Ms. Feng, I am absolutely certain.
I only wrote down
"Give her a second chance."
DO NOT GIVE HER A SECOND CHANCE
FENG REN YUE, DEPUTY GM,
ADMIN. DEPARTMENT
Ms. Feng, the resignation letter
and gift certificates seem unrelated.
But there is one thing in common.
It's Zheng Kai Er.
It's too much of a coincidence, right?
But aside from Zheng Kai Er,
Lele is also involved in both incidents.
Ms. Feng, I've already reviewed
the surveillance footage.
Lele didn't steal the gift certificates.
I'm sure it was Zheng Kai Er.
If I'm wrong, I'll quit.
Do you have proof?
Well--
No.
But Ms. Feng,
Lele is a naïve, innocent,
adorable and kind girl.
She stands up for what's right.
You know her better than I do.
She'd never steal.
Lele was framed.
I can guarantee it.
I think I understand,
but we don't have any proof.
We must be even more diligent.
Please keep this a secret for now.
Don't tell anyone, all right?
Yes, Ms. Feng.
You may get back to work.
If there's nothing else,
I'll head back to my office.
Mr. Shi.
Well,
thank you for defending me earlier.
If I was ever rude to you before,
I'm sorry.
That was bad of me.
Did I hear it right?
Were you just--
Can you tell me more?
About what you think of me?
Well, you're not as annoying as I thought.
Hi, I have an inside story for you.
Mrs. Shen.
Zi Qi, you came.
Mom!
Don't be afraid.
I'll be here waiting for you.
Zi Qi, keep my daughter company.
Come here.
You want to see me?
Why else would I call you over?
You know how I'm a learned man.
I know just about everything
under the sun.
However, I have a little question
I'd like to ask you.
What is it?
You're a girl.
Although you don't seem like one,
but I'm pretty sure you are.
The question is,
when a girl is being courted,
what kind of a gift
would make her--
Would move her and make her happy?
Would allow the suitor
to successfully win her over?
That's a no brainer.
I mean, a huge diamond ring.
Diamond ring?
I'm asking for
an average woman's perspective.
Not an advanced gold digger like you.
You're too materialistic.
Not at all, Mr. Shi.
Diamond rings are romantic.
It's romantic to splurge?
Why don't I just give her a box of cash?
Isn't that more romantic?
It's not the same, Mr. Shi.
Watches, purses, and necklaces are tacky.
Gifting someone a diamond ring
has special meaning.
What?
Gifting a ring is
a man's promise to a woman.
Men don't gift rings without forethought.
Unless he wants to
take care of the woman forever.
So a ring is a promise for life.
So romantic.
How come it's not romantic at all
when I see your face?
Go get busy.
Miss.
Doctor, how's my mother doing?
The surgery was a success.
Dr. Dai really is an expert.
He is so very skilled.
All the cancer cells are removed.
Now we're waiting for her
to regain consciousness
in the recovery room.
Then she can return to her room.
We'll keep the cancer in check
with chemotherapy.
It's very likely
she will make a full recovery.
Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.
No problem.
She's fine now.
Was the surgery successful?
What are you doing here?
I came to pay the medical bill.
Ms. Ye,
thank you so much for getting
such a great medical team for my mom.
But the medical bill,
we'll pay for it ourselves.
The medical team's plane tickets, lodging,
and target-therapy drugs
total about 220 grand.
What matters is the surgery went well.
It's just pocket change.
Don't worry about it.
Zi Qi, I need to tell you something.
Come with me.
Whatever it is, you can say it here.
It's fine. You guys go ahead.
I'll stay here with my mom.
Maybe I should get terminally ill, too.
Maybe you'll treat me
like you do Shen Xing Ren's mom.
What did you want to tell me?
I'm here to tell you,
I approve of you dating Shen Xing Ren.
Are there strings attached?
No.
I've thought it through.
If you like her so much,
you'll insist on being with her,
no matter what I say.
Why should I be the bad guy?
I don't want you to be mad at me for it.
The other day, I had a chat
with Shen Xing Ren's mother.
She really is very nice.
Even as hard-hearted as I am,
I can't help but like her.
Are you happy now?
Then come here.
I knew you loved me the most.
Of course, you're the only baby I've got.
How's Mrs. Shen?
What about your mom?
She went back.
What did she want to tell you?
She said something about the two of us.
What did she say?
She's fine with us being together.
Really?
I'm sorry.
I know you're upset by the things
that have surfaced recently.
I know.
You've been shouldering my burden
for many things.
Whether it's my mom's illness
or for me.
I'm really grateful
you're willing to stay with me.
