Sister Jia, this is bad What’s wrong? Tonight is the Beijing alumni gathering of Zhi Yi Fourth High School They just requested this morning that they want to change the wine Why? Didn’t they ask for ten boxes of wine from 2017? They said some teachers are coming so they want something better
They want wine from 2012 They want everything changed Everything? But we’ve already paid the deposit for the 2017 wine If we’re changing now we might not find the wine Even if we do find it, it’d cost more than 200,000 yuan We’ve already paid over 100,000 yuan upfront for this event
The finance department said we only have 100,000 yuan now Don’t open the boxes for the 2017 wine yet I’m contacting someone now – They want 2012, right? – Yes If I find it, don’t worry about the money I’ll pay for it first – This… – Go back to work
Hello, Mr. Zhang I’m Nan Jia from Si Nan Event Planning I’d like to know if you have wine from 2012 Amy – Hey, you’re earlier than me – I came early – Have you eaten? – Not yet – I brought some breakfast for you – Oh You’re so thoughtful, thank you Alert, alert!
– What, is there another fire drill? – No, look! You see that guy behind Sai Wen? – Where? – There I heard he’s the new director President Han found to replace Yi Ning I didn’t see him Mr. Jiang is going to be in deep trouble now What are you talking about?
Yi Ning hasn’t even taken her maternity leave What trouble are you talking about? Look at Yi Ning’s tummy She’s going to take maternity leave soon I heard that Mr. Jiang and President Han Jr. are getting a divorce Yi Ning is Mr. Jiang’s trusted subordinate Now that Old President Han is replacing Yi Ning
Our marketing department is going to enter a storm Hey We’re sitting right next to each other You get far more information than I do from the grapevine Where did you get it? I’m astonished That’s what you call disparity, got it? Qiang Qiang I’ve proofread your inventory list
You’ve mixed up the entries for cold brew and Blue Mountain coffees – Is it? – I’ve corrected it. It’s in your inbox now – Thank you so much – It’s okay Seriously, I’ve been befuddled from work Check again before you send it to Yi Ning Don’t send the previous version
– Thank you – I’ve sent it to your inbox – Qiao Xi Chen – What? We’re supposed to not hide anything from each other Did you pick up any gossip? Tell me I do know something Ten minutes later we have a meeting for the 818 promotion – Your period is here? – Yeah
Don’t eat so many painkillers It’s bad for health If I don’t, how can I survive through the meeting? When do you think we girls can get menstruation leave? Don’t think about that Have you finished your prize list? The meeting is starting soon. Hurry up Okay Hello? Just give me any boxes you have
Or any bottles you have I have an emergency here Can you help me today? I’ll get someone to pick them up I’m okay with the price Reply me if you have the wine, thanks What is it, Mom? – Are you busy? – Yeah, I’m busy Go back to work, then
I’m going to work till late today Just speak what’s on your mind Listen, do you remember Aunt Wang from the organization department? Yeah No, wait, I don’t. Who’s that? Oh, darling How can you not remember her? She has a pair of twins
We used to take you and the twins to the public bath at the office So what? Get to the point Mom, I’m busy, hurry up Here’s how it is Aunt Wang’s sister has a son He’s about the same age as you I think he’s a fine fellow
Why did you tell someone else about my private life again? I didn’t tell him about your private life Alas, listen, even if I don’t tell him he can check your company online He’s even checking on me now? I don’t know if he’s checked on you Anyway, he’s interested in you
Why don’t you add his contact? I’m busy, and you want me to add him, seriously? About this… No, you must seize the moment Why are you so anxious about this? How can I not be anxious? Your birthday is coming soon 35 and 36 years old is a huge difference, isn’t it?
One is 30-something, and the other is almost 40 I’m still months away from 36 years old, okay? – What’s wrong with you? That’s it – Don’t hang up! Listen, Jia Jia To put it nicely, you’re an ordinary lady But in another sense, you’re just plain ugly
Think about it. What advantage do you have? What, me, ugly? Whom do you think I got my looks from, Mom? Bye You darned child Jing, how was the discussion? It was a huge success I almost got her to seal the deal right there Impressive, right? Come in Manager Lu Looking for me?
I’ve been looking for you the entire morning I went to Travel Net this morning Amy and the rest are very interested in our Dali project She said it has potential – That’s why I… – About that… Listen to me As you know, 5G technology has a profound impact on our industry
The company is planning a strategic transformation in the next half of the year I know, our whole team is committed We’ve been working really hard The industry is picking up Don’t worry, we’ll do our best As long as we work hard, the company is going to get better
We have two proposals for the 818 promotion First is our classic latte in tins There are 12 tins in a carton along with six tins of Americano and three tins of Macchiato for free The second proposal is our new product, instant cold brew There are ten packets in a box
Along with three tins of Americano, six tins of Macchiato and a custom celebrity mug for free Which proposal would you choose? I’d go for cold brew The first deal may look like a good bargain since it has more tins But, Americanos are cheaper One tin costs around 6.88 yuan
That makes it a 28% discount As for the second one the retail price of cold brew is higher There’s also a free custom-made celebrity mug So, that makes a 42% discount Therefore, the second proposal is a better deal Come on, how many of our customers would bother calculating such costs?
You think our customers are like you counting every single cent spent? What kind of proposal is this? I can’t see the promotional advantage at all Don’t forget our goal It’s to sell off our cold brew inventory Are we having trouble selling the classic tins? Not at all, they’re just there as support
Adjust the free gifts I want a deal that obviously shows the advantage of buying the cold brew package Yi Ning, the production cost of cold brew is higher now We’re minimizing our profits here If we lower it further it’s not going to work out
Also, there’s a lot of people waiting for the 818 promotion Before you get off work today send me the new list of free gifts and cost report – Today? – Any problems? No problem Let’s discuss about the stock now Yi Ning? Why don’t we take a break now? It’s okay
Miao Miao, it’s lunch time now Get some pizza for everyone We’ll eat and discuss at the same time Okay, I’ll order now – Quick! – Yi Ning! – Sit down – Slowly – Take a deep breath – Is this early labor? Don’t panic Get me my phone – Quick – Yi Ning Hubby
I’m about to give birth I’ve packed everything Go home and get my things Wait for me at the hospital Nonsense, of course I know I’m giving birth, go! Careful – Yi Ning – We’re almost there – Yi Ning, please let us accompany you there – We will go with you
There’s nothing you can do to help – Move! – Careful! Careful The 818 products… – Settle the products for 818 today! – Okay! Open the door – Send it to me! – Sure, just go now! Good luck! Oh my Even now, Yi Ning is still thinking about work That’s why she’s the director
She’s really a tough lady But President Han is tougher He’s replacing Yi Ning while she’s having a baby Enough, let’s get back to work Let’s go You girls go ahead, I need to take this call Okay Hello? Yes, that hotpot restaurant We’re booking a private room?
Okay, I’ll confirm and send you the details Aloha Woke up yet? I told you, I woke up a long time ago Why did you wake up early for a noon shift? I’m going to World Trade Center today to buy a present for Jing Jing Xu Yan, you’re crazy Did you strike the lottery?
How much would it cost to buy something there? You barely paid your credit card debt with your salary last month If Jing Jing knows about this she’s not going to take your present Jing Jing already knows about this I’ve sent her the screenshot from the official site
I’m going to surprise her tonight and render her speechless! Hey, you’ve sent her the screenshot You think you can surprise her? She’d probably just act along, got it? Xu Yan, ask Shen Zi Chang to bring you to the hospital someday to get your brain checked Curse you, nonsense
Send me the private room number I’ll have the cake sent there Ask Nan Jia. She booked that restaurant to accommodate you, Miss Workaholic She specially picked it since it’s right below your apartment Otherwise, we were planning to have French food Nan Jia is always inviting us to mooch off her
Jing Jing must have felt that Nan Jia has been spending too much so she chose that hotpot restaurant Look how thoughtful Jing Jing is, unlike you Yeah, she’s thoughtful, and I’m not? Wait for it, Qiao Xi Chen I’m going to beat you at drinking tonight – Are they here? – They are here
My car is parked at B2 Three boxes of wine in the trunk Get a pump truck to bring them to the multi-functional hall Okay – It’s Mr. Zhang and Mr. what? – Mr. Wang Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang – Oh, you’re here – Thanks for waiting
Sorry, I could only get three boxes of wine from 2012 – Three boxes? – Still, there are ten tables, right? I’d suggest changing the layout tonight I heard there are four teachers coming Let them sit at the main table There are 18 bottles of wine in the three boxes
Serve one bottle at each table and there would be eight left Give them to the teachers I’ve pasted stickers on them They will be placed inside gift bags We’ve included a card that says, “Sincerely from Zhi Yi students” They can take them as commemoration What do you think? We don’t really mind
We must serve the best to our teachers Of course Now that we’re reseating everyone, this is going to look discriminating Listen, in such gatherings we don’t want to slot everyone into categories Yes, I understand, you’re right I remember when we were preparing the invitations two are medical workers who have served in Wuhan
I suggest we seat them with the teachers I’m sure the others won’t mind The previous wine will be served as planned Each table gets seven bottles and if there are 16 people from our experience, it’s enough for everyone to enjoy without getting drunk Everyone can still catch up
Fine, we’ll do as you say Thank you for understanding I just set up the multi-functional hall beside here for you You can go there and take a break Enjoy some tea while waiting for everyone – It’s free – Let’s go Thank you for understanding Okay – Are the gift boxes here? – Yes
Miss This is the latest model we have It’s not sold in other stores It really suits you It’s not for me. It’s for someone Miss, your payment wasn’t successful Why don’t you use another card? You can pay 6,000 yuan with my card then 2,600 yuan from my Alipay
We did as you requested but it wasn’t successful Why don’t you use another card? Hold on, let me ask someone Sorry Hey, Shen Zi Chang What’s wrong with you? Isn’t there 3,000 yuan in our joint Alipay account? I tried to pay 2,600 yuan and it was unsuccessful
Oh, I noticed that you never used it I thought you’re not using it anymore So, I bought a pair of sport shoes Shen Zi Chang, nice job Hello, so… I guess I’m not buying this today Thank you Miss Why don’t you check this out? It’s from the same series as that one
It’s smaller, and it’s cheaper by around 2,000 yuan Actually, I think girls don’t have so many things to carry This size is just perfect Try it This is a waist bag, isn’t it? You like it? Get me! I’m No. 1 at school! I’m the best in school at kicking the ball!
You’ve been working here for over four years Your performance has always been well, but… Manager Lu, I think… There must be an explanation or reason if I’m getting fired On what basis am I getting sacked? The basis is your work performance, of course Think about it
Among your team mates, you’re the one who works overtime the least, right? That’s because I finished my work on time After you finished your work you could have helped the others You youngsters can’t be selfish When I was your age we did everything the old-timers did including cleaning work
Manager Lu, I don’t understand I’m getting sacked because I didn’t help them complete the work they’re supposed to do? Then, why don’t you sack those who didn’t complete their work? Based on your logic, I even need to help the cleaning janitor, do I? I’m just giving an example I can explain it clearer
Either you have the network or it depends on your overtime performance You need to think comprehensively Actually, I’m letting you go for your own good Who knows, you can unleash your potential in other companies? Fine Manager Lu, I get what you mean Let’s discuss about compensation, then Listen
Maybe I didn’t make it clear just now I hope you can resign Don’t worry, I can write you a recommendation letter You want me to resign? I think this is too much! You’re even trying to skimp on compensation now? What if I don’t resign? We have an elimination system in place
We can sack those who do not meet their target for half a year That would leave a blemish on your record Don’t even expect a recommendation letter by then Aunt! Call me Sister Our ball is stuck on the tree Can you get it down? Sure, what should you call me? Sister, thank you
Okay, let me check Let me see How should I get it down? I’ll use my blazer, then Step aside. Look closely Yeah! – Thank you, Sister! – You’re welcome Aunt, what about your blazer? It’s Sister! Sister, what about your blazer? I’ll just leave it there Run along, it’s okay
– You’ve got your ball, go! – Time to go home! – Qi Qi! – Let’s bring it back home! Jing Jing, I’ve gotten you a present It’s smaller, but it’s really pretty! Come on, Xu Yan. How is it a surprise when you’ve revealed it? Don’t toy with Jing Jing’s feelings
You’re just jealous. I’m sure Jing Jing will love my present the most tonight Are you making light of Nan Jia? Listen, Nan Jia has never lost when it comes to presents Nan Jia, I don’t mind celebrating my birthday earlier today Today is Friday The roads are going to be jammed for sure
If you get there early, eat first Don’t wait for me Just order anything you like Happy birthday Happy birthday What’s going on? Why isn’t there anyone here when it’s just noon? – Where were you? I couldn’t get to you – Buying lunch Go, it’s time for a meeting
– What meeting? – About the new director replacing Yi Ning So fast? Yi Ning’s baby probably hasn’t even come out yet Hurry up. Don’t say anything wrong later Hello, my colleagues from the marketing department I’m Jian Yi Fan Starting from today
I will replace Miss Lu Yi Ning as the director of marketing department I hope that in the future we can work together… Thanks Since we have another colleague coming in let me introduce myself again I’m Jian Yi Fan I’m going to skip the formalities
I only ask for two things from all of you First, do what you’re supposed to do Second, enjoy Our industry’s nature requires us to keep observing our customers’ preferences so we can create successful products and marketing strategies So, other than work I welcome you to approach me for a meal or chat
I play tennis pretty well Feel free to ask me out for a match I spoke so much just now because I think work and rest are equally important So, unless you have to I don’t want any of you to bring your meals to your desk or meeting room
If you eat at where you work no matter how delicious it is it’s not going to taste as nice Work-life balance is important. Thank you Everyone Miss Lu is officially on maternity leave starting today but our work in the marketing department cannot stop Mr. Jian was just giving a simple self-introduction
I’m sure you can see that he is a leader who is easy to get along with Next, Mr. Jian has something important to announce Okay, let me get down to business Before you leave today I hope to receive a work report for the past six months from each of you
I want details of your work scope in every project you’ve worked in and an ROA analysis Remember, I want details [Qiao, someone barged into your house] This will decide whether I can still see you next month at Yann Coffee [What’s going on? I’m at work] You heard it right
What I’d like to announce is that starting from today the marketing department will have an elimination system in place like other departments such as sales That means on this day next month one-third of you will be leaving Yann Coffee That’s all Now, please introduce yourselves Who wants to go first?
Let’s start from our colleague who hasn’t had lunch, then How should I call you? Qiao Xi Chen How should I call you? Hello, I’m Qiao Xi Chen, I’m so sorry I have an emergency Can I take leave for two hours? – Hello? – Hello, Jing Jing Where are you? What’s wrong?
My neighbor messaged me and said that someone barged into my house and apparently it’s the landlord – I don’t know what’s going on – Okay, don’t panic Are you okay? I’m coming I’m free, don’t panic I’ll be there right away Who are you guys? Who let you in my house? Miss
It’s great that you’re back Look closely, I’m the owner of this house I’m officially ordering you to move out of my house right away! – Why? – Why? Because you didn’t pay rent for three months! What do you mean, I didn’t pay rent? I did, I just paid for six months upfront
See, here’s the transaction record I just paid rent for the next six months last week Miss, I believe that you’re not a con-artist But you didn’t pay me I didn’t see a single cent of money for the past three months Now, my son is waiting for the money to pay his house loan
It’s been delayed for over a month Today, if you don’t pay the rent we’re going to move all your things out Sir, calm down I think there’s some misunderstanding I paid the rent to the agency Ask the agency what happened Did you not receive the money?
– Miss – Ask the agency, will you? I’d like to ask you instead I went there just now and there’s no one there Agency? More like trickery! Let me make a call Stop moving! Mr. Liu, I’m Qiao Xi Chen Didn’t you ask me last month
To pay you the rent for the next six months? The landlord is here and he said he didn’t receive the money What’s going on? [You have been blocked by this user] Well? Any news? Why wouldn’t you listen? I told you, that place was empty Not a single soul there What happened?
Jing Jing, I think I was conned by the agency I just paid six months’ rent to the agency because they said the landlord needed it Now, the landlord said he didn’t receive the money I tried to call the agency but the call didn’t go through It’s okay, let’s find that agency
No, it’s empty, they’ve all left They left like that? This is absurd! Absurd? My rent is all gone. Isn’t this absurd? I’m begging you Please move out now If I don’t rent this place out I’d need to rent a house myself! We’ve packed everything in the living room, what else? That room Wait
My personal belongings are in this room You have no right to move them We’ll stay out of this room You can pack them up yourself Sir, this is too sudden Give us some time We’ll see what we can do once we get everything straight I can’t wait anymore
It’s only natural to pay rent if you’re renting If you’ve been conned that’s your own business Either you pay up or move out Someone is coming this afternoon to view the unit I don’t have any money! I gave all my money to the agency! Sir, I’m not going to mooch off you
Please give me a few days, will you? Lady, if I help you, who would help me? The bank is going to blacklist my son You’re broke? Ask your parents for money Borrow from your colleagues and friends Youngsters like you can even borrow money online! Do you have money? Lend her some
I’m not going to waste my breath on you anymore If you’re not moving your stuff, I’ll help you Get going! I hired you guys for half a day! I’m not paying more for overtime! Move all of them! What are you doing? Don’t come here! I’m calling the police! What are you doing?
– Go in! – I’m calling the police! Hey, Miss! Miss, what’s with you? Step aside. I don’t want to fight a lady – Hey, I’ll show you! Move! – Don’t come here! – I’m calling the police! – Move! Even the police wouldn’t side with you! Move!
– Move! – Who dares to touch her? Who dares to touch her? Come on! You scared me just now We’ve known each other for so long I’ve never seen you like this What? I was scaring them, not you You call that scaring? You looked like you were for real, holding that cleaver
– “Die!” – Not so loud When did you become so bold? I just talked to the landlord He’s not pursuing this further – Sign here, you can go back afterwards – Okay So, Officer Tan… My rent… The agency’s actions can be construed as fraud We will contact other victims to lodge an investigation
We will need you to tell us about details of your renting experience – and provide relevant evidence – No problem Still, the landlord is a victim in this case too I talked to him, and he’s willing to give you three days to move out Three days? Sure, no problem
– Thank you – No problem – Come on, we need to take your statement – Okay – I’ll wait for you here – Oh, right When I checked your ID I noticed that it’s your birthday today Don’t be so rash in the future What if you hurt yourself?
– Happy birthday – Thank you Let’s go – Happy birthday – Thank you Wait for me [Reception] Feeling better? Are you still going to my home? – Yeah – Let’s go Okay, no problem, I… Later, I’m outside I’ll send you when I’m in front of my computer, okay?
I have an incoming call, excuse me Okay, I’ll tell you when I send it – Qiao Qiao – Hello? Hey, what’s wrong? I’ve already fixed the document You want it today? I still need to add a watermark Hello, Miao, the signal here is bad I can’t hear what you say
I can’t go back now Go back, I’ll handle things here I’m free this afternoon I’m hanging up. Okay Don’t worry Hey, Jing Just leave them here I have three days I’ll pack up slowly afterwards Sister, you have three days and you’re not worried? Why are you so optimistic?
There’s nothing I can do even if I worry about it It’s okay, I’ve thought about it There’s no way I can find a place in three days If worst comes to worst I’ll just ask my parents for help Put it down Let’s go – Go back to work – It’s okay Listen, today…
Go back to work I’ve taken the day off. It’s my birthday I come and go as I like – Really? – Yeah Seriously, on your birthday, I actually got you to work as a laborer I’m inhumane Qiao, how pitiful you are You just lost your home
If you don’t get back to work you’re going to lose your job Why are you cursing me? Touchwood! – Touch it! – Quickly, go! Hey, are you really wearing this for tonight? Of course I’m going back to change into a dress – Put your lipstick on – Got it
– See you later – Go, see you later! – Stop packing up – Okay [Sweaters] – Done – Qiao Xi Chen Can’t you spend like 200 yuan to hire some movers? Must you torture us both? Thank you Hey, don’t stop, why are you sitting down? Help her open the boxes
– Otherwise, she can’t sleep tonight – I’m pooped! It’s okay, don’t worry. Thanks, Jing Jing You’ve tidied everything up so nicely I’m going to sleep on the mattress tonight As for the rest I’ll pack them up during the day Look how smart she is She’s just so clever
Now, I have something important to announce To thank you for your kind help today I’m going to treat you both to hotpot! – Hotpot! – There’s only one kind lady here There’s another one Who knows why she wore this miniskirt here today? Also, you’re not treating us today
My cousin is going to treat you to congratulate you for the move You girls don’t need to argue Anyone can treat Can I bring Shen Zi Chang too? He’s been craving for hotpot I have to bring him out too Then, I’d like to know why you didn’t ask him to come
When we were moving the heaviest box here just now? Well, he is too dumb Enough, that’s okay It’s my treat tonight and it’s just one more mouth to feed Can’t I even afford that? – See? – No wonder you wore like that Xu Yan
Let’s start from you What do you want to order? I want pig’s brain I think you’re the pig brain here It’s pork brain, not pig’s brain Mind your tongue The pig brain is on a killing spree! Why aren’t you helping me? [Nan Jia, remember to go for your checkup at 4 pm later]
[Don’t worry, I remember] Excuse me, can you repeat that? – Thank you for calling, I hope… – Hello, Mr. Zhang Xu Yan, help – I don’t understand this Hainanese guy – Hainanese? – Transfer the call to me – I’ll transfer the call Hello, I’m No. 116 from the after-sales service team
I will serve you now Is there any help you need? Go ahead I’m sorry, sir I apologize for the unpleasant shopping experience you’ve had Can you provide your phone number or order number? I’ll check it up for you 138… Hold on, sir I have your record here
It shows that your request for repair service is being processed The repairman will contact you tomorrow to set a time at your convenience for him to visit your place Is there anything else I can help? Okay, thank you for calling Please leave… Air-conditioning? – Hi – Hi Oh dear
You’re drinking coffee now? You’re not sleeping tonight? I’m preparing for working all night You, working all night? We’ve known each other for so long I’ve never heard you pulling one It’s all because of that work report I might not even finish it by tomorrow morning
Come on, have you done so much to include in your report? Mr. Jian said he wants more details This is going to decide whether we can keep our jobs Be serious Don’t blame me for not reminding you I am serious. It’s just that there’s something good about me
Whenever I finish a project I do a write-up immediately So, I’ll just need to copy and paste This is pure boasting Come on, don’t think so much He’s going to look at our individual capabilities, not choosing the best report This is not an essay competition, right?
Do you think Mr. Jian is replacing Yi Ning temporarily, or… – Are you dumb? – What? If it’s just temporary why would he be involved in something as troublesome as retrenching? Yeah You think Yi Ning knows about this? Of course not She’s still assigning tasks and thinking about work on the ambulance
Do you think she’d know? That’s terrible Terrible as they may be Let’s focus on ourselves I told you It was Old President Han who sent Mr. Jian here Mr. Jiang and President Han Jr. are getting a divorce If they’re really going to split their assets we’re going to be sacrificed first
I don’t get it How is their divorce related to our work? Of course they’re related This is a family business A family is built before they establish a business Even if Yi Ning isn’t having a baby she’s still Mr. Jiang’s protege Would Old President Han still want her here?
I heard that Mr. Jian was vacationing in some village when the old president went there personally to beg him to take over as the marketing director He didn’t even go through Sai Wen Say, your analysis sounds logical – Right? – I listened
Okay, I think we should just do a good job at work Then, no one can pick on us, right? You… You’re just too naive I’m going to write my report [Who’s going to foot the bill tonight?] [Come on, no matter whose birthday it is, I will treat you] Go ahead
I’ve arranged for your checkup The nurse will bring you clothes for you to change into I know, I’m an old-timer I know all the procedures I hope this is the last time I hope so too It will be [Mother] Hello Didn’t I tell you not to call me when I’m working?
It’s already six Haven’t you gotten off work yet? Besides, what’s wrong with answering a call during work? Forget it, you just came back? Why so late? The gathering ended a long time ago Your aunts insisted that I go shopping with them I just came back from the mall
You went shopping? What did you buy? Nothing Just buy whatever you like. I’ll pay Enough, stop wasting money Besides, I’m old now All those clothes look the same on me What do you mean, you’re old? Seeing how pretty you are you’re going to steal the spotlight wherever you go Just doll yourself up
Even if I’m broke there’s still Shen Zi Chang – You dote on him so much, after all – No, no Don’t make him buy stuff for me I don’t need anything I just want the both of you to enjoy life I’m already satisfied with that
By the way, I brought out the bag you gave me last time Your aunts praised me How did they praise you? They said it’s nice How is it nice? Your eldest aunt didn’t say anything But her daughter, Yan Ping, was so rude She said that the bag isn’t from an international brand
And that she just bought a bag for your aunt which costs thrice the amount of my bag What does she know? Why is she so annoying? What’s her bag? I don’t know She said it’s… I don’t know I think it was Lou or something Is there such a brand?
Yan Yan, the bag you bought for me is pretty expensive too It doesn’t suit me and I don’t really need it I’ll send it back to you, okay? You can have it I have lots of bags Shen Zi Chang keeps buying for me Don’t worry about me
I’ll buy another bag just like hers for you Gosh, why do I need to compare with her? No need. Don’t buy me anything Why? Every bag looks the same on me Don’t waste money We don’t need such vanity, you hear me? Save up. You haven’t even gotten married yet Stop worrying about me

Okay, that’s all for now You’d better get going Don’t eat spicy food if you’re having a cold Dad, well… What are you and Mom having for dinner? Your mother is making dumplings We’ve got dandelions from last spring She’s wrapping dumplings now If you’re keeping the dumplings in the fridge later

These flowers were just delivered Yes, I came early Do you want to order now or do you want to wait for your friends? It’s okay, I have something to do I might leave and come back later – Okay, ring the bell if you need us – Thank you I’m already here!
I’ve ruined the surprise you’ve prepared for me! There are 26 flowers each as beautiful as each of you As beautiful as me When you arrive, you will see a pretty me waiting for you! Sorry, darling. I didn’t know you wanted to spend that money Had I known earlier I wouldn’t have touched it
You weren’t planning to let me use the money in the account at all I swear to God, I opened that joint account for you I noticed that you weren’t planning to spend the money and those shoes just came out so I wanted to buy them this month We’ve been dating for so long
It’s always been Hu Jing Jing’s birthday today I’ve always needed money on this day I was too careless I remembered you saying last month that it’s time to be frugal I thought you’re saving up to buy Jing Jing a present It’s my mother’s birthday last month and Jing Jing’s birthday this month
Do you know how embarrassed I was today? What’s so embarrassing? Just buy it if you have the money and walk away if you don’t They can’t force you to buy it I’ve already told Jing Jing what I wanted to buy for her Besides, where were you when I was quarantined?
It was Jing Jing who delivered meals to me every day When I told you about the present you praised me for being a good friend How could you forget? No, my mom wouldn’t let me go out back then You’re a good friend and I’m a petty boyfriend Sorry, Xu Yan, don’t be mad
Hey, you girls are going to drink, right? I’ll sit there and wait for you girls I’ll send each of you back home If you’re still ignoring me think about Qiao Xi Chen Given how miserly she is would she even get a taxi? No need, we’re having dinner right below her apartment
She can walk back What about Jing Jing? She’s been so nice to us You want her to take the subway back alone? I’m the only one insensible here, aren’t I? That’s not what I mean Come on, Xu Yan. We should cut our coat according to our cloth, right?
I know you want to buy presents for Jing Jing and your mother Even a spendthrift can stretch their money until the end of the month But you’ve barely… Shen Zi Chang I get what you’re saying You mean I’m spending your money, right? I’ve always bought you something when you give me presents
Besides, did I use your money when I bought presents for my mother and Jing Jing? Yeah, but when you’re broke I helped you pay your rent Feeling upset now? You’re my boyfriend What’s wrong with spending money on me? If you don’t like it you don’t have to be my boyfriend
– No, where are you going? – Hey, is this your car? I’m taking the subway. Don’t pull me – I’m driving – Move your car! Wait! Xu Yan! – Wait! – I’m calling the police! Hurry up, move your car! Move your car now! Don’t you know you can’t park here?
– Stop shouting, I got it – Faster! I’m so sorry I’m really sorry. Here, I have some wet wipes Please help yourself – Hello, Chen Chen – Hi, Mom I’m fine I’m on the subway, I’m going somewhere Don’t believe what Dad said Tell my dad to cut back on alcohol Hello? Someone, help!
