Office Girls (2011–…): Season 1, Episode 40 - Episode #1.40 - full transcript
When I was little,
I hated summer and winter vacations.
Others went out with their parents.
But my mom was in the U.S.
My dad's career had just taken off.
He even worked during the weekends.
Only Uncle Tsai kept me company.
You guys never showed up.
Not for parent-teacher conferences,
sports events,
or my graduation ceremonies.
It's not that I didn't care.
I was trying to give you a better life.
I didn't know I ended up neglecting you.
I'm sorry.
Son, it's not that
I didn't want to see you.
Although I was in the U.S.,
my thoughts were with my baby boy
every day.
I honestly thought
no one would ever love me
until I met Shen Xing Ren.
Although I had no money and privileges,
she still accepted me.
While I was very unhappy
with your demands at first,
I'm really grateful to you.
If I hadn't worked in Operations,
I wouldn't have met Xing Ren.
I might still be the same old me,
who took everything for granted,
and didn't know how to be responsible.
I'm glad you know I meant well.
You didn't lose this game.
Mom,
thanks for changing your mind.
Thanks for accepting Xing Ren.
I was being unreasonable.
You're right.
I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Internal beauty is really important.
I'll listen to you now.
I'll try to see her finer points.
Mom, thank you.
Noodles are ready. Let's eat.
Let's eat.
- Liu Yu Le, what is it?
- Qin Zi Qi,
Xing Ren just left for France
with Wei Min Na.
She doesn't want you to go find her.
Give her a little time.
Mrs. Shen!
Zi Qi!
Shen Xing Ren is gone.
Zi Qi...
I'm sorry.
I know you're really sad.
But Xing Ren didn't want me to tell you
that she's leaving.
She was worried
if you knew, you'd ask her to stay.
Then she wouldn't want to leave.
I didn't want my daughter to be so torn,
so I didn't force her to tell you.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Shen.
I didn't protect her as well as I should.
Don't say that.
You've been really good to her.
Really good.
I've seen how you are to her.
I know it.
This is the letter Xing Ren left for you.
Qin Zi Qi...
I'm sorry.
I thought about it for a long time.
I still decided to bid you goodbye.
You know what?
Meeting you has been like a dream.
A really happy dream.
Excuse me,
helping a random creep pick up girls
is not part of the customer service.
Random creep? Me?
That's right. You.
What kind of attitude is that?
You're just a part-time worker.
So what if I'm a part-time worker?
Who are you, anyway?
If I become the boss of this place
one day, I'll fire you first.
Boss? Like hell you'll be the boss.
I'm more likely to be your supervisor.
I will remember everything
we've done together.
Whether it was happy or sad,
I'll keep everything in my heart.
I'm worried I can't protect you.
I don't want to become your burden.
Maybe spending some time apart
would be good for both of us.
Our worlds are too different.
Because in a year, I'll be different.
And everything will be different.
One day, I'll buy a place
you've always wanted.
You've studied abroad
and your family owns a department store.
I graduated from a second-rate college.
I don't know anything aside from work.
I'm not ready to face everything yet.
Please give me some time.
When I know what to do,
I'll come back.
When that time comes,
we will both have become better people.
When that time comes,
I will have become someone
who's good enough for you.
When that time comes,
it'll be my turn to protect you.
Zi Qi...
don't be sad.
Sometimes when
two good people are together,
it doesn't necessarily guarantee
there'll be happily ever after.
Lele has told me,
even when Ms. Zheng tried to sabotage you,
she still couldn't tear you apart.
That means it must be
a very painful decision for Xing Ren,
when she decided to leave you.
Please give her some time and space.
You have to stay strong.
All right?
ONE YEAR LATER
JING SHI DEPARTMENT STORE
QIN ZI QI-GENERAL MANAGER
Good morning, Mr. Qin.
This is the financial report
from the first three quarters.
The Operations Department
has put together
the net profit
from the first three quarters,
which has increased by 15 percent,
compared to last year.
Mr. Qin, next month Delicate Jewelry
will start remodeling.
I'll keep you updated on the progress.
Mr. Qin, let me give you
a succinct progress report.
Last month's overhaul on the food court
added 150 more seats.
Customers have reacted positively.
Have you ordered baby high chairs
for dining customers?
Mr. Qin, the high chairs
will arrive next month.
Thanks.
It's my honor to service Mr. Qin.
Please let me know
if there's anything else I can do for you.
Very good.
Zi Qi is a different person now.
I think it was the right decision,
naming him general manager.
Mr. Chairman, I'm concerned for Jason.
Why?
Since Xing Ren's been away,
he's completely changed.
He doesn't go out with girls
or see his friends anymore.
He does nothing but work all day.
If he keeps it up, I'm worried
he might drive himself crazy.
How's Shen Xing Ren doing in Paris?
She's studying corporate management.
She used to write an e-mail every month.
Now the e-mails don't come as frequently.
Maybe she's become more busy.
Or she's embracing her new life.
Is that right?
Mrs. Shen!
Zi Qi!
What brings you here?
I thought you're busy.
I haven't seen you
since you came up to Taipei.
But you're so busy!
You're the general manager now,
you have a billion things to do.
I'm just happy
you even thought of visiting me.
Has Xing Ren been in touch with you?
Mr. Shi!
What the heck?
Shen Xing Ren is back!
Really?
Yes!
Sure, the chances of that happening
is much higher.
Why don't you put it on right now? Go on.
- Put it on right now.
- Fine, I'm not afraid of anything.
Here's the head piece. Go ahead...
Put it on.
- So you are...
- Yes, I am.
- I was joking with you.
- I am serious.
Even though your food isn't very tasty...
Even though sometimes you're irrational...
Even though sometimes you're stingy...
Out of everyone in this company,
only you're qualified to be my supervisor.
I promise you,
I won't be late for work anymore.
I promise you,
I will do everything you tell me to.
I promise you,
I will eat broccoli from now on.
I promise you, I will do my own laundry.
I promise you, I will learn to ride
a moped and take you to work.
Mr. Qin!
I'M SORRY
I'm back.
You're still so stingy.
You went to Paris
and all I got is a Band-Aid?
You're tough.
Even the French can't get your money.
I'm sorry...
for hurting you.
I left at the time...
because I wasn't brave enough.
It's all right.
If it were me...
I'd make the same decision.
Well? How was Paris?
I was busy every day.
I went to school during the day
and studied French with a tutor at night.
Sometimes I interned at Ms. Mina's studio.
I kept busy.
Old Yu and Ms. Mina
have been so kind to me.
Really? You've lost weight.
Have I? I ate a lot every day.
The food in Paris is great.
I visited many places.
France is beautiful,
but...
But what?
No matter how beautiful
those cities are...
without you, I'm not happy at all.
What about you?
How have you been?
I'm good.
Aside from missing you...
everything is good.
Do you remember our bet?
We bet
everything will be different in a year.
But a year from now,
aside from you being a year older,
I don't think you'll be any different.
You don't get it,
but you will when the time comes.
You're the one who doesn't get it.
What do you know?
If you don't believe me, let's bet on it.
What are we betting on?
The person who wins can ask
the other person to do one thing.
Anything.
- That's quite a bet.
- Do you have the guts for it?
Sure, why not?
- I'm not scared of you.
- Come on.
Come on.
I remember.
You lost.
I lost.
So this is what you have to do...
You have three choices.
What choices?
One...
marry me.
Two...
I marry you.
Three...
let's get married.
Mr. Chairman!
I chose three. Let's get married.
In the time apart from Qin Zi Qi,
everything seems to have changed,
yet nothing seems changed.
It's weird,
even though we didn't see each other,
I still felt really close to him.
Turns out,
he's been in my heart all this time.
I've decided to stay with him
and never leave him again.
Because I'm very certain,
I won't find another man
who loves me more than he does.
When Shen Xing Ren was away,
many things seem to have happened,
yet it seems nothing happened at all.
It's weird.
Even though we were oceans apart,
I didn't feel like
I was far away from her.
Because she was in my heart
the whole time.
Now I finally understand,
as long as our hearts are together,
distance means nothing.
Some people only start to grow up
after the age of 50.
We're going to take the X-ray.
Are you cold? No?
FULL TIME VOLUNTEER
Some people grow younger with time,
discovering a new side of themselves
every day.
ONLINE SALES EXPERT
That's a huge order!
Some people are no longer geeks.
He's become an outgoing,
hard-working geek.
OPERATIONS ASSISTANT MANAGER
OPERATIONS DIRECTOR
Some people continue to protect the place
that means the most to them,
without complaint or rest.
EXECUTIVE DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER
STILL THE CHAIRMAN
Some people begin to
come to terms with themselves,
and continue to pursue
the possibility of love.
Kai Er?
- Hold on a second.
- Sure.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see a client.
After I left Jing Shi,
I became a marketing specialist
at a PR company.
Funny running into you here.
Then I'm your client.
This is my family's development project.
We'll be seeing a lot of each other.
Let me thank you in advance.
LONG-TIME ADMIRER
A CHANGED PERSON
Thank you.
Some people haven't grown up,
yet can't wait to become parents.
MOM
DAD
Kids having kids.
Some people make the impossible come true
by sheer force of will,
transformed from dirty old man
into handsome hunk.
Someone finally got promoted.
Although...
I told you.
I finally got promoted.
I became Deputy General Manager.
But I'm the Deputy General Manager
of frozen foods.
Mr. Shi, how are you?
Fine!
Do you want to trade places with me?
Qin Zi Qi, you ungrateful son of a gun.
That felt good.
Qin Zi Qi, do you believe
this marriage is granted by God?
Will you take Shen Xing Ren as your wife?
God gave you life.
You shall treat your wife
with grace and tenderness.
Respect her.
Be faithful to her
and build a Christian family with her.
Respect her family as your own.
Do your duty as husband,
until the day you die.
Do you make that promise in front of God,
in front of your friends and family?
I do.
Shen Xing Ren,
do you believe
this marriage is granted by God?
Will you take Qin Zi Qi as your husband?
God gave you life.
You shall treat your husband
with grace and tenderness.
Respect him. Help him.
Be faithful to him
and build a Christian family with him.
Respect his family as your own.
Do your duty as wife
and be filial until the day you die.
Do you make that promise in front of God,
in front of your friends and family?
I do.
You may exchange rings.
Lele!
It's been forever since I got the ring.
When will you marry me?
The day you unfreeze.
Kai Er,
maybe we could...
But I'm a bad woman.
Aren't you worried I'd hurt you?
What's happiness?
Happiness isn't about
looking at each other.
It's about holding hands
with the one you love,
and looking in the same direction.
Ready? One, two three.
Look over here. One, two three.
I hated summer and winter vacations.
Others went out with their parents.
But my mom was in the U.S.
