[English subtitles are available.] [Crossroad Bistro] [Ep12] What about that picture? Where were you? I was in the U.S. I really admire people like you who dare to risk your lives. Extreme sports are so dangerous. You guys would just climb a cliff without any protection. Any moss on the rock or any loose rock
May cost you your life. I want to interview you. Why do you do that? Aren’t you scared? I’ll be lying if I say I’m not. But what I’m more scared of is a boring life. There’s so much fun in life. Why is it only fun when you risk your life? See?
We have different cognitive styles. Do you know that extreme circumstances can unlock your potential? I see. For example, if a tiger was after me, I would run faster than Bolt. Am I right? How smart you are! Thank you. It was so easy for our ancestors to climb up and down a cliff.
It’s just that we regress in this regard. Nevertheless, we don’t just do it. We train ourselves in a scientific way. I want to challenge myself physically and psychologically, instead of staying in my comfort zone. When you have finally made a breakthrough, conquered a cliff, and stand on the edge of it,
You’ll just feel… What? Awesome. I just can’t feel it. I still think it’s scary. Listen. The utmost danger in the world is your fear inside. Once you overcome your inner fear and take that first step, you’ll be safe. Let me give you an example. Let’s see snowboard carving.
As long as you shift your weight to the side of the cliff, you can easily switch between the edges while staying safe. This is just mechanics. You can’t do it because you fear it. Therefore, you’ll fall harder. Here’s another example. Free climbing. When you train on the ground, your arm span
And arm strength all seem good. But why can’t you do it when you’re climbing on the cliff? It’s also because of your fear. Overcoming your fear and pushing yourself to your limits make you much happier than making money and living in a big house. If you’re right,
Then why are there so many accidents each year around the world? Are they all because of fear? Not all of them. If you come across loose rocks, then it’s your destiny. It has the same odds of you being hit by a car. People choose different ways of life. Some prefer an easy life.
Others like adventures. It’s just that people are different. In fact, I’m not the kind of person who sticks to the rules. To be honest, before I knew you, I thought I am the most daring person. But after what you said, I feel that I may have misunderstood the word “daring”. If you’re interested,
Let’s go and have some fun tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that you’re safe. Ready? Let’s go! [Closed road for filming. Please do not imitate.] Yu Songyang, you are so cool! Are you crazy? The next turn is the most thrilling one. We had a good one today. What do you think?
Was it exciting? Your girl must have been scared to death. Here. Relax. What, you feel sick? Did you throw up? No, but almost. She didn’t throw up on you, did she? No. Thank god. I’m afraid if I move my hand, my heart will jump out of my mouth.
Alright. It can’t be that bad. Get down. Come on. Don’t. Don’t touch me. My legs are numb. I need a few minutes. Let me see what you’ve got in your camera. What are these? It’s just you shouting. Is it a horror movie? Do you expect me to take your pictures?
I was too busy worrying about my life. You scared the hell out of me. Do you know that from my viewpoint, you almost fell off the cliff? You were just this close to the edge. If you had not been careful enough, you could have just died. This is the game of brave men.
We have been trained. And we’ve practiced here many times. Rest assured. I’m safe. It is very rare that any danger happens. Right? Fine. I surrender. I mean it. If you do this again, just don’t drag me in. I don’t want to witness any tragedy. Are you afraid of losing me? Whatever you think.
If anything happens to you, no one will send me home. We still have Yaming. Come on. Yaming, do you need a girlfriend? Of course. I’ll tell your wife. May I interview you, my hero? Do you have anything else that you haven’t told me? You must be honest.
The other day, when I went to Tianjin to watch a play, I robbed two banks on my way. After the play, I kidnapped a young lady. But so far, I haven’t decided whether to kill her or keep her? Hello? Is it Inspector Black Cat? I have a big mouse in my car.
I’m talking him into turning himself in. Please bring with you a big cage, heavy leg irons, tiger bench, and pepper spray. After all the torture, he’ll definitely confess his sins. Why bother? Just seduce me with your beauty and I’ll confess anything. You wish. Or should I seduce you? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Li, for your trust. This is just our job. Alright. Sure. See you. Mr. Du, here’s your lunch. Why is it you? Where’s Zhao? He’s on leave today. The Administration Department has made some progress. We can even have sushi for lunch now. Mr. Du. Mr. Du.
Is the contract with New Century ready? Yes. I’ll need it this afternoon. No problem. Mr. Du. The sushi is quite good, isn’t it? What sushi? We have fish-flavored shredded pork and shredded potatoes. Mr. Du. Is it Mrs. Bai? I’m at the market. If you need anything, I’ll just buy you some.
No, thanks. I have a stomachache. When did it start? Are you sweating? Just don’t move, Mrs. Bai. Keep lying down. I’m coming right away. Change your shoes. Don’t talk. You’re not sweating. What’s wrong with me? Don’t scare me. Does it hurt here? Yes. Does it hurt much?
It hurts because you’re pressing it too hard. I’m asking if your heart aches. No. Does your stomach ache? My stomach aches from time to time. What’s the matter? Why are you so nervous? Am I going to die? Hmm… What did you have for lunch? Some leftovers from yesterday.
Maybe I didn’t heat it thoroughly. I’ve told you so many times. Don’t eat leftovers. No one forces you to. Not only do leftovers cause gastrointestinal symptoms, but they also produce aflatoxin which may lead to cancer. OK. I know. Look at you. As soon as you came in, you felt my pulse
And checked my heart. People may think I’ve got some serious disease. I’m not joking. When someone old feels these symptoms, it’s likely to be a heart attack. Does stomachache have anything to do with a heart attack? My big brother died from this two years ago. At that time,
He only felt that his stomach ached. My nephew made porridge for him. But he didn’t feel any better after having it. It was winter. But he kept sweating. Even his sweater vest was wet. At around 10:00 in the evening, he found it difficult to breathe. His family called the ambulance immediately.
But when they arrived at the hospital, he was gone before the doctors could save him. That’s why I fear that you might be in the same situation. From now on, if you ever feel like this again, you should… Come here. Push your back against the chair. Let the chair
Push up against your back. When you do this, if your heart still aches much, call the ambulance immediately. How are you feeling now? I’m fine. I’ll make you some porridge. Do you know how? Porridge is the only thing I can make. Have you ever fished? Yes. But I never caught any fish.
If we catch one later, please don’t get too excited. People like to be quiet when they’re fishing. “Me and my motherland…” Give me the bait. We got one! Quickly. Here. Here. Take it slow. Be careful. Alright. We can let it go. You said you want to have fish for dinner. I want salmon.
Is this salmon? This is freshwater. How do I find any salmon here? You can’t be serious. Maybe I’m not a serious actress. But I’m serious about making jokes. I see. Bye-bye, Fish. Here. Try it. How is it? To be honest, when I took a bite, I was thinking about nothing but peace.
I feel that when I’m with you, I’m not bothered by anything anymore. Tell me. Have you secretly trained yourself to cook? Or, you have cooked for so many ex-girlfriends and you’re getting better and better? I started to cook as young as seven. My grandpa taught me how to cook.
He said that one has to learn how to cook. A person who cooks never worries about his meals. I feel like I never lived. He had been telling me a truth since I was a kid. Only when you’re capable of taking care of yourself will you be able to take care of others.
People who don’t even love themselves are incapable of loving someone else. But there’s another type of person. They only love themselves. Let’s put it this way. People who love themselves aren’t necessarily capable of loving others. But people who don’t love themselves first are incapable of loving anyone. Are you going to work tomorrow?
Yes. Why? I can’t wait for you to take me out again for fun. Just wait for my call. I need to finish the current project first. What have you been doing? I’m designing a hotel. A hotel? Can I have a look? Come. I like it. This is the Executive Lounge. So cool.
This is a Presidential Suite. Amazing. Don’t flatter me. This is just routine work. Have you ever stayed in a Presidential Suite? No. You? Me neither. How could I ever have that privilege? Only superstars stay in Presidential Suites. And if they don’t, people will laugh at them. But if someone like me
Stay in a Presidential Suite, I’ll be looked down upon, too. You do it fair and square with your own money. Why would anyone have a negative opinion about that? That’s exactly why people will despise me. You see, the superstars stay in Presidential Suites as part of the crew’s budget.
If I spend my own money to stay in a Presidential Suite, I’ll definitely be laughed at. It seems that there is a clear chain of disdain in your industry. This is not where the real contempt lies. What else? Let’s not talk about the big shots. Just take ordinary actors and actresses for example.
Theater actors look down upon film actors. Film actors look down upon TV actors. TV actors look down upon video influencers. Then who makes the most money? That is an interesting question. In terms of income, it’s exactly the opposite. Influencers make the most money in the shortest time, while theater actors make the least.
But as far as I know, only theater actors are true actors. Absolutely. Acting on a stage is the biggest challenge for an actor. Just think about it. A play usually lasts about one hour or two. There’s no NG or post-editing. There’s no room for mistakes. What if you accidentally make a mistake?
In that case, you must not let the audience notice it. This is where you see the real stuff of an actor. That is indeed some real stuff. I’m a theater actor. What is it like in your industry? Do you also have a chain of disdain? Of course. For example, a hotel project
Usually takes long and the profit is just average. I can only get fully paid after the hotel opens. I stay in this profession out of true love. Hotel designers look down upon interior designers. Interior designers look down upon office designers. Then who earns the most? Office designers, of course.
It’s easy work and easy money. And the projects usually don’t take long. I love theater. You love designing hotels. Give me five. We are such a good match. We both love what we do more than money. But I also love money. Then I’ll stop pretending. You love your job. As well as money.
High five. Mom. Is Dad out for dinner again? Yes. It’s part of his job. Then I will find a job in the future where I can have the best food. Good for you. Then you must study hard. I don’t want to study. Why? Because Dad was an underachiever
And Mom was a straight-A student. Who told you that? My brother. Your brother was joking. Your dad was also a straight-A student. Your brother is the only underachiever in our family. I can hear you, alright? Mom. I want to be an underachiever, too. Brother, give me five!
Then you definitely won’t find a job where you can make money and eat the best food. OK. Thanks. What would you like for lunch, Mr. Du? Don’t bother. I’ll take a lunchbox. Thanks for the sushi you ordered the other day. Did you like it? I don’t have a good stomach for it.
Then let me find you something else. No, thanks. Wei Lan, do you have anything to say to me? Sit. Mr. Du, my internship is going to end. I love this firm. I want to stay. You’ll be notified after the HR evaluation is done. They already talked to me. I was rejected.
Do you know why? No, I don’t. This evaluation will have an impact on my career. Could you please write me another one? As far as I know, during your internship, you participated in the teambuilding of the Audit Department, right? Yes. They invited me. You also participated in the teambuilding of the Consulting Department?
Is that correct? They sent an email to all. I assume anyone could go. The result is you didn’t pass two of the four tests. How do you think I should re-write this evaluation report? Mr. Du, honestly, this is not a profession I’m passionate about.
But it’s in great demand and therefore, there are plenty of positions out there. I want to continue in this field. If you chose your major because of this, then I think you’re probably not suitable for accounting. If you don’t like it, you won’t do it well.
Even if you haven’t made mistakes so far, it’s just a matter of time. In this profession, a tiny mistake may send you to jail. Do you understand? I think the HR department made the right decision. Does this world operate according to your standards? Not as huge as that. It’s just that each firm
Has its own standards. Did you easily pass all exams in your life? Not necessarily easy. But I passed them. And I never took an exam twice. Wei Lan, you’re a smart girl. But as I see it, you seem to invest more in socializing. Have you ever thought of investment banks?
They may suit you better than an accounting firm. If you need, I can make a recommendation. Mr. Du, I have another week to go here. If I make some progress, will you write a new evaluation report for me? No. I don’t have any prejudice against you. Don’t take it personally.
I just truly believe that you are not suitable for this job. All right? Have you seen Wu Qing? No. If you see her, tell her I’m looking for her. Have you talked to Wei Lan, the intern? She already knew the evaluation result. So she was rejected? This is not my own decision.
You gave her a “Pass”, didn’t you? Never mind. Only your signature matters. Our signatures are nothing but punctuation marks. Yongjie, I’d like to hear your opinion. Am I right or wrong? There’s nothing right or wrong in this kind of decision. Don’t you think so? Then can you tell me
Your reason for letting her stay? I just think that she was fresh out of graduate school hoping to land her first job. She has just taken the first step in her life and you’re teaching her a lesson? Can you just give her a chance to grow? She’s a nice girl
And has been getting along with us. Yongjie, which do you think is more important, working skills or social skills? I’m not saying she’s not competent. Allow me to finish. It’s not that she doesn’t have skills. But she doesn’t use her skills right. What are the most important qualities for this profession?
Being down-to-earth and rigorous. It’s not just about networking. You can neither harm the interests of clients nor ignore professional ethics. This is what we should know from the first day we get into this business. Do you agree? If you forgive her for a small mistake today, tomorrow she might undermine the clients’ interests,
Or even worse, the ethics and reputation of the whole profession. Then you’re actually doing her no good. You may harm all the peers in our profession. In fact, I never had a negative opinion about her. What I believe is that she’s not suitable for this job. Maybe I was still hesitating
When you came in. But now I can tell you for sure that I trust my decision. Go back to your work. Hello? Bao Xue. What are you doing? Do you have plans today? Where’s your sister? You can come if you are both free. I’m in the studio. I have a shooting session today.
Do you want to know who’s the model? Who? Zhang Yishan. Are you serious? Of course. Just come and see. Can I take a picture with him? He’s my favorite actor! Great. Wait for us. We’re coming right away. Alright. I’ll wait for you. See you. Great. See you. Sister! Liu Liangzhou just called.
Do you know whose photos he will take today? Zhang Yishan! He’s the best. Sister, have you seen any of his TV series? His smiles. His wickedness. I just love him so much. Stop acting like an idiot. Sister, let’s go. We need to hurry up. Go. I’m not going. Suit yourself.
Just go with me. Don’t you miss your Liu Liangzhou? My Liu Liangzhou? Don’t be ridiculous. What about the other day? That was not nice of you to drag him into that. You should apologize to him in person. Right? I already apologized to him. I don’t want to disturb him when he’s working.
Sister, please. Just be my company, alright? I don’t want to go alone. I’ll feel sad and lonely. Come with me. Let’s go. Yishan, follow my lead. Just look in her direction. So I’ll just look at you. But you don’t need to be like you’re taking an oath.
She just can’t help herself when she sees someone she admires. I hope you don’t mind. Not at all. I’m confident in myself. I have confidence in you, too. I don’t think Zhang Yishan will see her as a potential girlfriend. Then he doesn’t have good taste. Yishan, loosen up a bit.
Give me a smile. I don’t hate to smile. But I hate it when I have to fake it. I just can’t fake a smile. Did you capture that? That is my true emotion. Yes, I did. It’s great. Now I know why male stars contribute more to the box office than female stars.
Why? Imagine. If a girl likes some good-looking actor, she’ll ask her boyfriend to go to the cinema with her. So they’ll buy two tickets. But if a boy likes some pretty actress, he won’t dare to ask his girlfriend to watch that movie together. Because it only leads to a fight.
You have a point. Yishan, that’s all for today. Great. Don’t take that off yet. Mr. Zhang, do you mind taking a picture with me? Look, we wear the same color today. Such a coincidence! OK. No problem. Thank you so much. I’m just speechless. Good for her. Sorry, lady. We have to go.
Please hurry. Of course. Allow me to take another one. What do you think? Do you like it? Hello. Excuse me. I just want to remind you that… I know. I won’t post on Weibo or WeChat Moments. I’ll keep them to myself. Thanks for your understanding. No problem. Bye, everyone. Actually, I’m an actress.
I ran into you a few times in Hengdian. But I never had a chance to say hi. Next time. We’ll greet each other next time. I really love your works. Calm down. I’m not finished. He’s busy. Xiaoyu. It’s hot. Thank you. This is his signature wicked smile.
Can I get obsessed with some pretty actress just like you do with Zhang Yishan? I’ll kill you. See? I’m totally right. Look. I have another one. This is 30,000 after tax. I’m off then. Thanks. See you. Tianyi. This is 300,000 in total. Why don’t you just transfer it to me?
I withdrew these notes on purpose. It’s just a ritual. What is this? My baby. That is some cool stuff. Is this for film-shooting? In the past, in the age of film photography, this was the Rolls-Royce of cameras. The body alone was worth an apartment in Beijing back then. The matte box alone
Is worth tens of thousands of dollars. Do they still work? It works just fine as soon as you install the film. But unfortunately, it’s the digital age now. I can’t buy the film anywhere. So you bought it just to enjoy the sight of it. It’s an antique. It’s worth collecting. Songyang knows me.
You spent 300,000 on this piece of iron? Do you think 300,000 is too expensive? But in fact, I was so lucky to get this for 300,000. I still need a lens. I’ve already asked about the price. I can get one for 150,000. It’ll be perfect when I get it.
Liangzhou, you have my support. I just don’t have the money. If I was rich, I would just buy one for you to complete your set. I’ll start another project soon. I’ll buy it as soon as I get the remuneration. What do you think? It’s amazing. Everyone has something he or she likes.
You spend your money on these. I spend my money on adventures. Right. You do extreme sports. Extreme sports? It’s just him digging his own grave. You won’t die as long as you don’t seek death. Now I know. Neither of you is built for an ordinary life. Liu Liangzhou, look at my sister’s face.
Xiaoyu, smile. You can just give up. Listen, my sister will never understand. If she has money, she’ll spend it on handbags. That is a real investment. See? So corny. The bags are always there. You can buy them anytime. But you can’t necessarily buy this even if you have the money.
Then I’m happy for you. Hello? Who ordered takeaway? Me. So everybody is here and dinner is ready. I’ll make the first toast. On behalf of our firm, I’d like to thank Mr. Chen for entrusting us with such important work. Overall, we did a good job. Through our close cooperation, Mr. Chen’s company
Successfully went public. Let’s raise our glasses. Congratulations, Mr. Chen. Cheers. What a good day! Congratulations. Cheers. Great. I’ll make the second toast. Of course. I am grateful to your firm for all the support you provided. I look forward to our long-term partnership. All right? To our future cooperation! Come on. Cheers.
Thank you, Mr. Chen. Thanks, Mr. Chen. Mr. Du. Wei Lan? What are you doing here? It’s such a coincidence. The furnishing style of this restaurant is quite unique. So I came to check it out. I didn’t know you are here, too. Mr. Du, who is this? She’s an intern at our firm.
Her name’s Wei Lan. So it’s one of our own. Have you eaten? It’s alright. I’ll just eat by myself. Wait. Mr. Du, she can join us. It might be inconvenient. There’s nothing inconvenient. Come in. Add a chair. Sit. Just take a seat. Come on. Sit down. Thanks. Thank you.
May I borrow your wine? Mr. Chen. Mr. Du. I’m sorry to interrupt. I’ll apologize with this wine. May I borrow more? Mr. Du, this one is to you. I won’t forget what you told me in the afternoon. Thanks for your advice. Don’t mention it. Sometimes I have to be cruel to be kind.
Please don’t take it personally. It seems that the partners in your firm really care about the employees. This is so precious. Thanks. I feel embarrassed. Mr. Chen, this one is to you. To me? For what? To the fact that you’re brilliant at making your choice. Am I? Of course you are.
Thanks for choosing us. Mr. Du, you made a good choice, too. You have such a good employee. You must drink this one, too. Alright. I’ll take this one. Thanks. Cheers. Cheers. Have some tea. It’ll help you sober up. Mr. Du. Mr. Du. As you saw this evening, Mr. Chen
Was definitely impressed by me. It shows that I’m competent for this job. Can you just transfer me to Asset Valuation? I won’t let you down. You followed me here, didn’t you? Of course not. It was a coincidence. You really think I’m a fool, don’t you? As I said, you are smart.
But can you please apply your talent to the right things? I don’t know what you’re talking about. You listened outside for a while before you came in, right? Why did you say that? Stop it. If you didn’t, how come that you called him Mr. Chen directly? Have I introduced you two?
Or do you know him? Listen to me. I won’t feel sorry for you after what you did. You only made me hate you more. Mr. Du, I think there’s some misunderstanding between us. What about we go somewhere else? I’m going home. My wife is waiting for me. Be careful. Don’t touch me.
Let me help you. I’ll call a designated driver for you.
