[Remembrance of Things Past] It’s 15.80 yuan Madam, I don’t have change Who pays with cash these days? I don’t know how to use mobile payment I’ll check out the next customer’s… What are you doing? It’s against the law to refuse accepting cash Do you expect this old lady to use mobile payment?
I’ll report you if you keep troubling her Ma’am, I wish to let her check out but I don’t have cash here I don’t even have 50 yuan Why don’t you add on another item so that it totals up to 60 yuan? I just want these two cartons of milk

I even told her not to worry about it Why would she lie and make me wait? What if I leave and she comes back? Then I’d be making that old lady come back for nothing She won’t be coming back. Just go home Okay, okay. I’ll go in a bit
Don’t just say you will Got it. I’m really going to leave You should go to sleep Good night I’ll wait for ten more minutes – Madam, you’re back – Thank goodness you’re still here – Thank goodness – Don’t worry. I waited for you
I forgot to turn off the tap before coming out to get milk Look at me – Here’s the money – Thank you This, too – What’s this? – Red bean cake I made the paste myself It smells really sweet You’re right. It does! I won’t keep you then
I still have to clean up my place – Go on. Watch your step – Thank you Be careful. Don’t mention it I’ll make sure to eat this Bye bye! [Episode 3: Autism] This is yours, isn’t it? It was found at Jing Jing’s place What’s your relationship with her?
Are you the person in Jing Jing’s Moments? Did you two get into a fight? – Did you hit her? – Did you? – You did? – I don’t hit women, let alone Jing Jing I’m her cousin. They are her best friends We want to know your relationship with her
Hu Jing Jing was my girlfriend Ex-girlfriend Bring the file to my office later Miss Mai – Miss Mai – Hello – We’ve met before. I’m… – Mr. Jian from Yann Coffee, right? – Yes, we’ve met – Nice to meet you You have great coffee but I’ve already signed with Wake Coffee
That’s not why I’m here I have a personal favor to ask – Tell me as we walk then – Okay I’m not aware of you ladies just like you don’t know me To be honest, I felt that my relationship with Jing Jing was bizarre We dated for about three months
When I found out she… I was shocked Hold on When exactly were those three months? From late March till July The day before she passed The day before? Were you cheating on her? That’s ridiculous! I only agreed to meet you since you’re her friends
I have many questions too I have no idea who to ask Wait a minute What were you two fighting about? She suddenly wanted to break up I thought she was cheating on me Things got heated up and we fought Then I broke a coffee mug How did you two meet?
We were both in the “Love Countryside” group on Douban We chatted privately… Get to the point Then we added each other on WeChat She was even the one who confessed and wanted to be with me Obviously, I liked her too because she had a sweet smile
Did I ask? Her smile is none of your business Let him continue We were good at first but then it got strange I felt that her mind was somewhere else whenever we were on a date She often looked upset Her phone was always ringing but she never answered it in front of me
At the cinemas she often sneaked out to answer the call and wouldn’t return even after the movie was over Whenever I’ve found her she’d be sobbing and saying, “I’m fine” I told her that she could tell me anything but she was never willing to open up
If you were in my shoes wouldn’t you think you’re a rebound? So, to sum it up, you two met online Jing Jing made the first move and you two dated for three months On the day before her birthday she told you she wanted to break up
– Yes – You two fought, but you didn’t hit her? That’s right. I didn’t hit her Did you say something that could have triggered her? – Did you say such things? – Did you? Ladies, are you seriously thinking I’m linked to her suicide? Firstly, we liked each other
Secondly, we only dated for three months If you were me, would you curse her out and even hit her because of that? What about you? Would you kill yourself for a guy you only dated for three months? No way – Then what… – Never mind. We got it
Thanks for meeting us. You may leave We still have a lot of questions Did you know that Jing Jing had a boyfriend? – Xu Yan, did you? – No But I guess I get it What do you know? You rambled all night to me and Jing Jing on the first day
You got together with Shen Zi Chang Well, we’re different Besides, we know everything about Shen Zi Chang There’s nothing I can’t share As for Jing Jing, she has always kept quiet about her relationships – Always? – Always? – What do you mean by that? – Exactly. What do you mean? I mean…
Did I say “always”? I didn’t say “always” I said she’s bubbly around us But when it comes to relationships she’s pretty shy about it Do you think we can trust Gao Yang? I don’t know, but I don’t think he has a reason to lie What’s bothering me instead, is that
The Jing Jing he was talking about feels like a completely different person I felt the same Lately, I’ve been wondering if we didn’t know her well enough So do you think the breakup on the night before and her losing her job could have led to her… No idea
We only have his side of the story Jing Jing can’t confront him now either But her phone will be fixed in two days We’ll probably find a lead there I’m heading back to the office. Want a lift? – No need – Alright, then
– You’re really not giving us a lift? – Take the subway – You’re so petty! – Let me know when the phone is fixed Okay. Go on Don’t you think he’s unbelievable? It’s our third anniversary yet I don’t even amount to a handbag Just leave it here
– Yes, you’re right – Put down your phone! Fine. I’ll put it away I also found out that the bag comes in two grades One is 288 yuan, the other is 688 yuan Shen Zi Chang immediately picked the former Xu Yan, now I’m angry – Exactly – You’re a princess to us
How could you compare yourself to a handbag? Are you happy hearing that you’re worthy of a branded bag? Of course. It’s better than that 288 yuan worth handbag Whose side are you on? I’m no doubt on your side – Shen Zi Chang acted out of line – Exactly
He shouldn’t get a fake one You can easily get two nice bags online with 288 yuan I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that But think of it this way He earns about seven to eight thousand per month He spends half of it on you
Asking for such an expensive handbag does seem a little too demanding No, you’re wrong Shen Zi Chang is from Beijing He lives with his family His salary is basically his net earnings unlike us Most of our salary would be gone after paying for expenses He’s just stingy He doesn’t care about me
So getting you a 20,000 yuan worth handbag means caring about you? Qiao Xi Chen, it’s not like you can weigh someone’s sincerity I just want him to show that he cares You’re absolutely right How long should we stay mad at him this time? I’ve thought about it I can’t forgive him easily
Not until he apologizes a dozen times Good. Give him the cold shoulder How’s it going with Su Qing’s matter? I visited the security room today hoping to check the security footage Sir Young lady No matter what you tell me today, it’s no use I’m not the boss
There’s no way you’d get to see the footage without the manager’s permission Sir, I know what you mean I know you’re in a tight spot but this footage is really important to me If I don’t get to see it today, I’ll probably – get fired tomorrow – Hold it right there
If I let you look at it today I’ll be fired tomorrow for sure Sir, how about just a glimpse? I promise I won’t tell anyone Just a glimpse will do Please, sir – Just a glimpse? – Yes – Hurry up, then – Thank you, sir Watch closely That’s it. Just a glimpse
You have quite a sense of humor, sir My hands are tied But you know that’s not where the problem lies My colleagues said that Jian Yi Fan was recruited by Old President Han in order to get rid of Mr. Jiang’s people Yi Ning works under Mr. Jiang
I work under Yi Ning Therefore, I’m one of Mr. Jiang’s So they’ll be getting rid of me eventually I’m probably going to lose my job Does Mr. Jiang know that you’re one of his? No, I don’t think so Sorry for the trouble
Don’t mention it. Miss Mai told us to help you as much as we can Pause that Can you find out where she came from? – No, I… – Do you think an explanation would suffice? Or… Are you planning on making up another lie?
Mr. Jian, I’m sorry. I freaked out On the spur of the moment, I… You realized you lost your list of quotations So you stole Qiao Xi Chen’s and blamed it on her I was even holding it during the meeting I don’t think you did it on the spur of the moment
You were way too calm I’m sorry, Mr. Jian I know I’ve made a mistake Can you give me another chance? I’ll apologize to Qiao Xi Chen Just please let me stay If an apology is enough, what am I here for? You made a mistake and framed a colleague
Not only does it show that you’re careless at work It even shows that you’re cruel and vile when your personal interest is at stake I’m vile? That’s because you’re dismissing employees Do you think you’re the only one on the list? You’re not But I can tell you one thing
None of them are malicious and deceitful like you You know how I used to be But I’ve really changed lately I kind of pity her Have you lost your mind? Why would you pity her? She framed you I keep thinking of Jing Jing I just feel that… Jing Jing worked so hard
But they fired her just like that I just feel that… We’re all outlanders here in Beijing making a living It isn’t easy keeping a job That’s why I somewhat pity and understand her I really don’t want the people around me to end up like Jing Jing Are you happy now? I’ve been dismissed
Your grievances have been redressed Yes, I’m quite pleased But you’ve worded it wrongly It’s not that my grievances were redressed but that God is watching Su Qing You were afraid of being dismissed, so you wanted to join the 818 promotion project Fine. I brought you into the team
You liked showing off to the director Fine. I let you I’m fine with all that But don’t you think you’ve crossed the line this time? You refused to admit your faults and you even framed me You think I wanted to shift the blame? I just can’t afford to take it
No one in the department likes me anyway I was never going to get a raise nor get promoted I can accept all that But making me lose my job when I’m 30? I know I know what I did was wrong But I really didn’t have a choice You’re 30
Have you wondered why none of your colleagues like you? In order to perfect our plan we worked hard and we worked overtime But what were you doing? Who are you to lecture me? – Am I wrong for wanting an easier life? – No Everybody wants an easy life
But since you’ve made your bed you should lie in it I hope you live a good life – Mr. Jian – Just a minute You have quite a sense of humor, sir Where are you from? You can’t tell? I’m from the Fort of Tianjin I’m from the northeast How about this?
Let me have a look I can tell you this Someone took a copy of the security footage that you want yesterday – Speak – Mr. Jian I… Thank you For dealing with Su Qing, and… I actually tried to get a copy of the security footage
The security guard refused to give it to me but he said someone took it I figured it was most probably you I guess you got along well with the guard He’s from Tianjin Sorry, that wasn’t the point What I wanted to say was… I’d like to make a proper apology
You just thanked me Why are you apologizing now? Because of what you told me at the office previously I thought you were wrong I thought you still wanted to get rid of me But, as it turns out, I was wrong I misunderstood you. I feel bad
Remember what I said to you the other day? You said a few other colleagues and I were in HR’s initial layoff list But you said you’d only look at how good we can do our jobs As long as I’m competent I don’t have to be afraid
So do you still think that you’re incompetent and I would dismiss you? That’s actually not that I think It’s just… You know how it is at a workplace Managers tend to say things that they don’t mean. So I… I didn’t expect you to be a man of your words
Thank you for noticing that I’m a man of my words Mr. Jian, that’s all I have to say Sorry for taking up your time I’ll take my leave Wait Do I look busy hanging out at the rooftop alone? Do you think I’d start drinking once you leave?
There aren’t any empty bottles on the floor today I was a little emotional that day so I drank a little Did you fail to learn the units of measure? You call that “a little”? No I drank quite a lot and I was quite emotional Actually, I…
First of all I didn’t drink during working hours I only started drinking two minutes later Furthermore, I have nothing against you I was really dejected that day I needed an outlet or I would have exploded That day… Even if it wasn’t you but a utility pole instead…
I’m not saying you’re a utility pole I mean, it doesn’t matter who you are No, that’s not what I meant. I meant… Well, it doesn’t matter what… I mean, who… – I would take it out on anyone regardless – Okay Besides, this rooftop doesn’t just belong to Yann Coffee
It’s for every employee in this building To put it simply it’s no different from a road Let’s say I happen to be drunk and acting crazily on the streets one day – You would just turn a blind eye – I wouldn’t
If I see you acting irrationally while you’re drunk on the streets one day I wouldn’t leave you alone Everyone faces a time when they can’t get hold of themselves Just let it out Just cry it out if you have to Or laugh out loud if you have to There’s nothing wrong with that
If you feel overwhelmed lately take a few days off Mr. Jian, I’m seriously alright Why are you urging me to go on a leave? If I, as a boss keep telling you to go on leave won’t you think that I’m planning to fire you?
Not only are you bad at measurements you can’t even tell when someone’s being nice I want you to take leave I’m worried that you’re exhausted and stressed Mr. Zhang is very pleased with the home wedding Well done, everyone It’s passed eight now Book a table. I’ll treat everyone to dinner
Sister Jia, don’t you know what day it is? I know. It’s Wednesday Sister Jia, I’ve got a girlfriend recently Sister Jia, it’s Chinese Valentine’s Day Go on. You’re dismissed. Go on your dates Make sure you receive the red packet I’ve sent – Thank you, Sister Jia – Love you, Sister Jia!
Thank you, Sister Jia If I were single, I would go after Sister Jia I can hear you. Say that when you’re outside You sound so fake Nan Jia, what do you want to do once you’ve recovered? What else? Open a branch office You’re always thinking about making money Think of something nicer
I have to think of that You never know until you fall sick You become weak. You might just go like that I should earn more money for my parents while I still can At least they wouldn’t be left with nothing if you drop dead one day How about this?
Once you’ve recovered, let’s go and find men I think we’ll need to up our game in order to look for a man Aren’t we taking notes now? Come on! Why do I have to watch this movie? Why? I’m so jealous Switch it to “Focus Report” There’s a steamier scene later on
Just wait. It’s coming up soon No, I can’t stand this – I don’t deserve having this – I’m sweating now! Don’t touch me! Here it comes. Knocking on the door You have to do this Hold on Yes. It’s proven that I had nothing to do with the quotation list
But he kept urging me to go on leave What do you think he’s trying to do? It seems sketchy to me You said he dismissed those that your ex-director favored, right? I think he’s dropping you hints to make you resign He wants me to resign?
No way. The company has to give compensation for firing someone I’m not quitting on my own You can think about that later I think you should start looking for another job so that you have a backup plan Your family isn’t loaded Alright. I have to get back to work. Bye!
[Qiao Xi Chen Personal Resume] What would you like to drink? – A glass of Highland Park, please – On the rocks? – No – Alright Let’s toast to Ou Yang’s new job Though it’s an assistant job What do you mean by that?
It’s still a job. We should treat all jobs seriously. Am I right? – Cheers! – Cheers! – Your drink, ma’am – Thank you Are you ladies taking a picture? – I can take a picture for you – Thanks Pose for the camera
Ou Yang, you’ve been back for so long Why are you still single? I’m in no hurry I want to find someone I like What’s your type then? I have many girls that I can introduce to you – That’s right – Save it! Go enjoy yourselves Leave me alone Hello

We have a member who has been with us for five years I remember a friend of mine used to be a member here Her fee wasn’t this expensive When did your friend sign up with us? It’s been quite a while back Her kid is six years old now She found her husband here

– Yes – I have a question Are things usually hectic in the marketing department? Do you work on weekends? That’s up to you Do you have any idea about Mr. Jian’s hobbies? I’m not that close with him I think he likes playing games and tennis Playing games

Take me to check out the venue for the 818 promotion this afternoon We faced problems with the online live streaming There mustn’t be any mistakes with the offline event I want to check on the security This afternoon? Is there a problem?
Usually if we want to check out the venue we have to give them a call first I don’t think it’s possible now on short notice How about tomorrow morning instead? Okay, tomorrow morning it is Okay, I’ll give them a call now – I’ll let you know once it’s confirmed – Okay
Okay. That’s all we want to know One last question If you come work for us, how long do you need before you can leave Yann Coffee? Two weeks, I presume As I’m currently handling an event It would be irresponsible of me to not follow through Alright. That’s all then. We’ll contact you
Alright. Thank you You’ve seriously hurt my feelings How could you turn me down when I’m being so sincere? That is why I came to you personally just to apologize Fine. I know Damei is too small for you If I leave Yann Coffee one day I’ll come straight to you, okay?
– Mr. Jiang should hear this – Qiao Xi Chen Sure – Okay then. Bye – Qiao Xi Chen – You forgot your phone – Thank you There’s something I forgot to ask earlier – Besides marketing specialist… – Everything’s good. Thank you – Goodbye – Goodbye Are you coming or not? Qiao Xi Chen
Mr. Jian What did Damei offer you? Double your salary or some high position? No That means you feel uneasy working at Yann Coffee No Then it must be me as the new director What are you talking about? So it is because of me Alright, kids. Halt! That’s all for today’s class Class dismissed!
Goodbye, sir! Go play Sir, you dropped this Thank you Good going, Shen Zi Chang You’ve ignored me for three days Just you wait! What are you doing? This is so embarrassing So many people are watching Shen Zi Chang this isn’t going to work anymore – Take it off – My neck!
Where are your hands? Where are they? Come on. Get up You can just take out your hands. Come on I can’t. I prepared you a huge present What kind of present? You’re trying to trick me again with a replica, aren’t you? This isn’t a replica Look, the receipt is in the bag
It’s an authentic one this time I couldn’t afford the handbag you wanted previously, so I got you a smaller one But I’ve checked with them. This is last year’s collection. It’s still in trend I’ll get you a nicer one after I’ve cleared all my debt – You don’t feel bad? – I do
But it’s not because of the money It’s because of you Getting my girlfriend a handbag is no big deal – Exactly – Right? I’ll just live on dirt Poor thing. I’ll give you a straw so that you can live on air too Thank you, Your Majesty!
If my wife wants me to live on air then live on air I shall Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not your wife – But you will be – Cut it out Quickly take this off or you’ll get a heatstroke That’s no big deal I can even take a bullet for you Come closer then
Thank you, hubby My boss is best buddies with the top millionaire of the country He accompanies him to meals whenever the millionaire visits Beijing What you’re earning are just peanuts From the way I see it do you not do any house chores? You’re still single at this age
Is it because of failures in past relationships? Have you done a body checkup this year? Are you still physically capable of bearing a child? I love children It would be brilliant if you give me a daughter Ma’am, are you really 36? You don’t look like it
You must have spent a lot on your face I know a really good cosmetic surgeon He’s a friend of mine Just a nose job and some bone contouring I can guarantee you’ll look ten years younger You can afford it anyway Look at me Do you own a house? What about a car?
I mean, I’m still so young You can’t expect me to be the breadwinner, right? Then what do you do for a living? Why are you still not married at this age? – I’m a driver – That’s nothing to be ashamed of Do you have any illness? Too talkative? Ask too many questions?
Since you know a cosmetic surgeon why didn’t you get a face job? Do I need one? Don’t you? Got it I’ll handle it Alright, then – Mr. Jian, there’s been an incident – I know Our transportation van got into an accident on the highway
Even the new fall products we need tomorrow which is the osmanthus series, are all gone Even if we get the factory to make a new batch, it’ll be too late Tell Wu Tian Qiang to get stock from the warehouse
Replace the new fall items with our classic lattes in tins and last season’s cold brew How can you do that? The R&D department worked overtime for the osmanthus series to launch it on Chinese Valentine’s Day before Wake Coffee If you replace it with other products all our efforts would go to waste
Furthermore, if Wake Coffee also launches an osmanthus series in a couple of days we would have worked so hard for nothing I’m sorry. Forget what I’ve said I was concerned about that too But instead of canceling the event I’d rather settle with the next best solution Liaise with Wu Tian Qiang
Tell him to take down everything related to the new products Mr. Jian, there’s another way We haven’t distributed our osmanthus series to supermarkets and major stores But in order to boost sales for Chinese Valentine’s Day the factory made an expedited batch Stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hangzhou have received it
There are 13 stores in Beijing which probably gives us… 3,200 cans But we can’t take all of it If the factory ships it today the products should arrive in two days That way, we can put aside an amount that’s enough for two days Which is 800 cans No, wait. That’s not enough
We have coffee tasting, lucky draw and purchase discount for our event Allocating 800 cans is too risky Have those stores do an event to only sell 77 cans for the first three days Good idea. It matches Chinese Valentine’s Day That way, we’ll have… More than 400 cans extra That would be enough, right?
It seems to me you’re like a fish in water working here Yes, it seems like it I’ll get back to work, Mr. Jian What are you doing? Nothing That’s yours? This is a new design I don’t know. I said I liked it and my boyfriend got it for me
The workmanship is pretty good Help me ask your boyfriend for the link This bag can most likely pass as an authentic – Your boyfriend has a good eye – No, this is… It looks so nice I’ll get the link from him See you! To be honest, I didn’t want to come
You should thank your matchmaking consultant She called me so many times It was so annoying She has a tough job too So I thought, why not? It won’t hurt to come meet you You look quite pretty when you smile You don’t look like you’re almost 40
Yes, I did spend quite a bit on my face If you keep this up I think we might make this work You are older, but luckily still under 40 I think it’s still possible if we quickly get married and have babies And your job
If we get married you’ll have to find another job My family is very strict My family won’t approve of your high-profile job Are you a registered resident in Beijing yet? Not yet Neither am I If you’re not, then it’ll be a huge problem when our kids attend school
Yes, it is a huge problem Are you qualified for application? Have you applied for your points? Do you know what are minor injuries? – Come again? – Minor injuries The kind that isn’t considered criminally liable. I’ll list a few Bruised scalp, scalp hematoma Non-perforated facial injuries linear nasal fracture
– These are minor injuries – What are you trying to say? I only talked about my outer qualities earlier You see I have a wide range of hobbies I look skinny but I’ve practiced Muay Thai for five years People from the northeast hate getting nagged at. Once I’m annoyed, I get physical
But don’t worry You’ll only get minor injuries And I… It’s getting in my way Why don’t you tell me if you’re happy with this blind date? I… She’s crazy! Alright 1,200 cans, right? Which store? If you want more on such short notice I’ll have to recalculate everything
– Is this the last box? – Yes – Thank you – Is the amount right? – You need a hand? – No, I’m fine – Thank you! – Don’t sweat it I appreciate your help Watch out. This way – Come here – I’ll take it from here
It’s not that I don’t want to help Our car was hit yesterday and my husband has gone back to his hometown I have to watch the store alone and look after the kid It’s fine. Don’t worry about it You worked overtime today to sort this out for me
I’m already feeling bad as it is Don’t worry about me. I’ll just hail a car Quickly get back. Don’t leave the kid alone – Be careful then – I will. I’ll return the cart later Sure. Bye bye! [Request standard express car Number 387 in line] I think the last one was pretty good
That guy? Didn’t I pick two previously? Were you not able to arrange a meeting? The process for arranging a meeting is we filter out the male members based on your requirements If you give us the green light then only will we contact them
But of course, the male member has to be interested as well Got it. They’re not interested in meeting me – Understood – I mean… I think this is completely normal Men get intimidated easily by women like you That is why I wanted to talk to you about something
How about lowering your requirement standards? You want me to go lower? What is it, Mom? Have you gotten off from work? No, I’m working overtime It’s nothing, actually The weather forecast said it’ll be chilly tomorrow Put on more layers. Don’t catch a cold Okay, I will
I can’t talk to you now My colleague is calling me – I have to hang up – Okay, go on – I’ll talk to you next time – Bye bye – Miao – Where are you, Qiao Qiao? I’m stuck here The traffic is really bad in Zhongguancun
Then when are you going to get back? You’ll have to deal with those coffee sleeves till tomorrow morning What else can I do? Don’t worry about it. You may go Sorry, Qiao Qiao My boyfriend just got back from Tianjin today As you know, we barely get to meet Yes, it’s fine
I can’t talk now I’ve got to hail a car. Bye! [Request standard express car Number 123 in line] Hello? Nan Jia Are you busy? Why are you sleeping at the side of the road? What are these? How long have you been stuck here? Come on. Get up!
– Where are the male employees? – Wait a minute, Nan Jia Pull me up, please. My legs are numb Are you okay? – Grab on tight – I’ll just shake it off Just grab on to this. I’ll load the boxes – Can you manage? – Yes Let me do it
This is so heavy, Qiao! What the heck? This is delicious. I’m famished Thank you, Nan Jia You poor thing What’s wrong with your company? They left a frail girl taking care of this on her own What kind of company is that? It’s not their fault. This is my project It’s my job, anyway
Besides, I’ve been working really hard lately I’m afraid that the new director will find fault with me Why would he do that? I got caught going for a job interview at another company What are you doing? It’s like when someone is about to be beheaded
What’s worse isn’t when you get beheaded but when the sword is hanging over your head You don’t know when it will drop It drives you nuts Anyway, enough of this I think I just have to do a great job
Even if he wants to fire me there’s no reason for him to do it Well said! What’s up with you? Where did you go looking all dressed up? To meet a client? Looking like this? I went on a blind date Are you kidding me? – For real? – Yes. You think I’m lying?
All of a sudden? It’s pretty sad You know, the guy I met earlier I worked so hard for 36 years He rejected me in 20 minutes What do I lack? What’s wrong with me? You don’t lack a single thing But you know what I’m thinking?
If Jing Jing found out that you went on a blind date she’ll definitely think you’re selling yourself short Do you all think blind dates look cheap? No, we don’t think so Back then, the three of us used to say we wanted to hold a blind date party But all of us think that…
We think that blind dates aren’t right for you I used to think that after we graduate from university we would eventually compromise with life But I always thought that the last one to yield would surely be you Just leave it I just have to go open the door
– No, I’ll come with you – No, it’s fine You can’t lift those boxes Don’t worry about me No, just leave it You can’t lift them either Where are the guys? I’m speechless That’s too big to carry. Put it down first – I’ll leave your bag here – Okay
Leave it. Your nails are broken Put it down. Just leave it Just leave it and go home – I’ll take you home – I’m serious! I have to take care of these coffee sleeves You need to put them on each cup? – I have to finish it tonight – Alone?
Don’t worry. I’ll call people over to help Give them a call now How can you handle this alone? Don’t worry. I won’t ask you to help Thank you. I can handle it I thought you can call it a day – What’s wrong? – My stomach’s a little aching
It’s nothing. Quickly get it done – Is it aching badly? – I had gastroenteritis two days ago I’ll leave if you don’t need me Quickly call people over – It’s already so late – Don’t worry. They’ll be here soon Go home. Drink some hot water
Don’t worry about me. Make sure you drink hot water once you get home Have a bowl of porridge – I’m really leaving! – Bye! I’m starving. Let’s go Why aren’t you carrying the bag I gave you? I left it upstairs Otherwise, my colleagues would say it’s a top quality replica
I swear I bought you an authentic one Don’t worry. I wasn’t blaming you Seeing them being so skeptical made me realize something – What is it? – The difference between me and Nan Jia is that even if she’s carrying a top quality replica, people would think it’s authentic
But if I carry an authentic one people would still think it’s a replica So it’s not that I can’t afford it It’s just that I’m not classy enough Who said so? I doubt it. Let’s go buy a pricier and better bag tomorrow Shen Zi Chang, you know what?
I like handbags, but I like you more – Give me a hug – You got it – Let’s go eat – Let’s go – What should we eat? – No idea Though she kept saying that she chose not to marry it actually showed how strict she was with herself
She’s still full of spirit and confidence Regardless of age and gender there comes a time for every ambitious and courageous soul to bloom I’ll be frank with you Women like you who are older have high income, and have stayed single are the hardest ones to find a match in the market
And men around this age usually prefer women below 30 On top of that, men would mind if the woman earns more than him He thinks it’s embarrassing Divorced women who are above 30 are more acceptable than those who have stayed single At least she has had a marriage before
She has been approved of before We don’t think blind dates are cheap We just think it’s not right for you But I don’t know why you’re making yourself do something that doesn’t suit you We would eventually compromise with life but the last one to yield would surely be you Xiao Tang
I just want to notify you The meeting you arranged for me today will be the last one You can stop arranging meetings for me Yes, I’m sure Thanks. Goodbye [Mom] Yes, Mom? Why haven’t you gone to bed yet? I’m going to bed soon
I just remembered that you left your windbreaker here last year I was thinking if you needed me to send it over Don’t worry about it Beijing isn’t as cold as it is back home Besides, I have thick clothing here What’s wrong? You sound sick – I’m working overtime – What? You’re still working?
It’s nothing. I’ll be done soon Alright, then. I’ll leave you to it Quickly get your work done and go home By the way, make sure you call a regular taxi to get home later Don’t try to save on money and carpool – Make sure you don’t. Do you hear me? – Yes, Mom
I can’t talk now. You’re slowing me down Go to bed early. I’m hanging up. Bye [Money for taxi] For goodness’ sake Mr. Jian I was at the movies with my boyfriend just now So I thought of coming over as I was passing by What are you two doing here?
– Mr. Jian, you’re here – Hi, Mr. Jian What are all of you doing here? Well, I was just passing by – What about you guys? – Me too Not me, though I purposely came to help Don’t just stand there Do you really plan on staying until morning?
– Let’s get to work – Let me tell you The sales department has to work harder – Look at how much Xiao Chen has done – Divide these – There’s not much left to do – Here you go When a two-hour journey to work feels like a nightmare
When working overtime endlessly has taken up all the spaces in life When you’ve given all you can, yet fail to become a better version of yourself Perhaps we can find many reasons to leave But only one reason is enough to make us stay A group of like-minded companions A sweet and beautiful love
It could also be a night to yourself It is these ordinary yet beautiful things that help us get through the stormy weather And allow us to see a more beautiful sight – Thank you, sir – Thank you – Good job, everyone – Good job
I’ll treat all of you to supper next time Bye bye! – Bye, Mr. Jian – Bye – Thank you – Be careful Bye Sir – My phone – Right. It’s you. Give me a minute I’ve tried my best. You can check and see I can turn it on. Thank you, sir [Messages]
