Hello!
So cute!
Wow, looks so healthy.
We'd better have a vet take a look,
I think.
But aren't you going to work soon?
What do we do?
All right, don't worry.
I'll take him to the vet.
We'll keep it in my lab for today.
We'll figure out what to do later.
Sound good?
Okay, thank you.
I'm off to work, then. Bye-bye.
-Bye-bye.
-Bye.
-Be careful.
-Okay.
I'm sorry!
I'm not myself when I'm drunk, boss.
I didn't mean anything I said.
I meant half of it.
But please remember how hard I work, boss,
and how I never say no to any task.
You're good. Please forgive me.
So, yesterday,
I finally learned what you guys call me
behind my back.
Whatchamacallit?
Jian
Good News Jian!
You're so good, so good.
This time I'm gonna
consider your mission completed.
I won't hold any grudges.
But if you continue to perform poorly,
I'll seriously consider re-assigning you
as the new sales associate's assistant.
The new sales associate?
Hi.
Mr. Rolex?
You're the new sales associate?
Ye Zhen-zhen, congrats
on completing the trial period.
Great!
You don't have any clients left,
so you need to start looking.
-Boss!
-This is settled, then.
He could be your lucky star.
Better work hard, you fool.
My overseas-educated pal,
you don't want a managerial position?
No need, thanks.
Okay. Let me show you around the office.
Our number-one in sales, Hu Li-jing.
Buy-and-sell is over here,
no explanation needed.
This is the prosperity aquarium.
Is Mom not at work yet?
Give me the Tai Yuan motto!
Achieve your goals!
Breakthrough your goals!
Give me the Tai Yuan motto!
Number one in Taiwan!
Number one in the world!
Awesome, boss!
Let me take this opportunity
to introduce a new sales associate to you.
I believe yesterday and the day before
you witnessed what he could do.
Boss, so many clients are asking for him.
With this golden ticket in hand,
it'll be easier for us to get new clients.
It'll easier to raise capital, too.
Let us all applaud and welcome
our super sales associate,
Chen Che!
Hello, everyone.
I'm the new sales associate, Chen Che.
Just like all of you,
I hope to gain from this next market wave
high commissions.
Bravo, well said!
Let's thank Chen Che
for his uplifting words.
Let's pick a date
and throw a welcome party
for Chen Che.
Now, everyone,
the market is about to open!
Get ready.
Super Chen, Super Chen!
Skyrocket, skyrocket!
Super Chen, Super Chen!
Skyrocket, skyrocket!
Super Chen, Super Chen!
Skyrocket, skyrocket!
Super Chen, Super Chen!
Skyrocket, skyrocket!
Super Chen, Super Chen!
Skyrocket, skyrocket!
-Shoes.
-Excuse me.
And socks.
I noticed during the meeting.
Size 24, right?
I've already bought them. Either you
take them or they're going in the trash.
Thank you.
Wipe with this.
Really? It's your handkerchief.
It's all right.
Thank you.
Do you have a boyfriend?
I don't mean anything by it.
Just asking.
No.
You and your parents still live
in that faculty dormitory?
How do you know?
I
I just
I used to live in that area as a kid.
You look familiar to me.
When you were a kid?
-Yes, in elementary school.
-Ya-juan!
-Zhen-zhen. Thank you.
-I got you some slippers.
What's the situation?
Nothing.
What are these?
They're shoes.
So beautiful!
Did Mr. Rolex buy them for you?
How does he know your size?
I'm gonna get going.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Ride safe.
By the way, Ya-juan.
Remember not to name the dog.
You don't want to get attached.
Bye. Ride safe.
-Why are you looking at her like that?
-She really doesn't have a boyfriend?
She leaves right after work. Are you sure
she's not going on a date?
You're still looking at her!
Let me tell you,
staring at me won't help.
You think I'm scared of you?
Ya-juan doesn't have a boyfriend,
but there is someone she likes.
Someone she likes
Hey, are you listening to me?
Is the person she likes
Catch him!
-Catch him for me.
-Him?
Yes, hurry!
-Thief! Stop! Give back my purse!
-Go away!
-Give me back my purse!
-Go away!
I'm okay. Hurry.
This way.
Wait.
Stop!
Wait.
Wait! Stop!
You.
Stop. Wait for me!
Wait. Give me back my purse.
Wait.
Why are you standing there? Come over.
Okay, I'm coming.
Wait. You!
What are you doing?
What's going on?
I have asthma.
What did you say?
In my bag.
-What?
-In my bag, look for the medicine.
The bag
Calm down, Ye Zhen-zhen.
Rolex's life is in your hands.
Quick.
What are all these?
Is this it? This one?
Are you all right?
You okay?
You scared me to death.
You looked like a spaceman with no air.
I almost fetched an oxygen tank.
This is my oxygen tank.
If it wasn't for the robber,
would I suffer an asthma attack?
Rolex,
look on the bright side
and you'll see a better world.
But
are you okay?
Have you always had this condition?
The doctor said it's allergies
and hereditary.
What is this?
Give it back.
-Let me see.
-Give it back.
Is this the newest kind of frame?
Give it back!
Here you go.
That was an overreaction.
Excuse me, I'll have another.
Enjoy.
Get that guy. He's a thief.
Are you crazy?
Get up.
Stop struggling.
Officers!
-We caught a thief.
-He took my friend's purse.
Let's go.
Fine, I'll go!
We'll wait and see.
Bye-bye.
Thank you.
But sorry about the throw.
I'm okay.
Glad to be on the right side of justice.
-What should I call you?
-Call me Li.
I will see you again, Mr. Justice.
That's enough.
Save some for your sister.
You took so much.
Hey, my body is developing.
I grow vertically
unlike Ye Zhen-zhen
who grows horizontally if she overeats.
Your sister is not the only one
living here. We have a guest.
Save some food for Che.
I'm home.
-Come eat dinner.
-Yes, come eat.
I I'm not hungry.
Impossible.
She's not hungry?
What happened earlier?
Did we kiss?
No. It was an accident.
How could it have happened?
Ye Zhen-zhen.
Stop thinking about it.
I lost my balance
due to gravitational force.
With all that running,
of course my legs got all weak.
What am I going to do?
Enough with all these crazy thoughts!
The only thing you need to do right now
is to make your head stop spinning.
Stop thinking.
My future husband will be
that one boy band singer.
Or at least looks like a boy band singer.
Someone like Chen Che
No way!
Ye Zhen-zhen, I caught the thief.
I have your purse.
I I'm already in bed.
Give it back to me tomorrow.
Do you take me for a fool?
You just turned off the light.
And it's still early.
Then slip it under the door.
How do I do that
with a purse this thick?
Just leave it by the door.
I'll get it tomorrow.
You
-Why are you still here?
-I realized you still have my watch.
Here.
I gave your watch back.
What else do you want?
What do you want?
Do you want to know
who's going to be the future wife
of that boy band singer?
You stay away from me!
Ye Zhen-zhen, are you all right?
Can't even take a joke like this?
After all, I did get your purse back.
Don't you want to thank me?
Ye Zhen-zhen, forget about him.
Forget about him!
Forget it. Forget it.
Why is he still around?
So annoying!
Ye Zhen-zhen, get it together.
What are the odds
of something like this happening
due to gravity?
Strange.
Why am I thinking about it?
I'm sorry!
Does anyone turn on the light around here?
I'm sorry.
I forget that there's
another person living here.
You can't remember things
and I suffer the consequences?
I said I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
How come you're still up?
-Why are you still up?
-Because
What exactly is keeping you up so late?
Your
I'm heading to bed.
Good night.
Morning.
Morning.
-Where's Mom and Dad?
-They went to deliver clothes.
-I'll take this--
-Ye Guo-an.
N matter who's home,
we sit down together to eat.
-It's our number one house rule, remember?
-All right.
Sis.
Can you lend me some money?
Dad and Mom give you allowance, right?
Why is it not enough?
Well, sometimes I take her to a movie
or dinner or something.
Who?
My girlfriend.
You got a girlfriend?
When?
About two weeks ago.
It's been two weeks
and you consider her your girlfriend?
Yeah, because we held hands.
I'm somebody
who doesn't just hold anyone's hand.
Ye Guo-an, you're only 16
and you're holding hands?
Did you get her parents' permission?
You're an adolescent,
hand-holding leads to kissing.
And kissing leads to, you know
Isn't it too early?
You're like all adults,
thinking we know nothing.
And you're in your 20's
and have never been in love.
What do you know?
Well
No, I haven't been in love,
but that doesn't mean
I know nothing.
I know you need to start with friendship.
The couple should take their time to get
to know each other's likes and habits
and family backgrounds
before they get serious.
False.
Love is about that moment.
It's impulsive.
It's a spark that can only happen
with a touch.
Where did you hear that?
I heard it on TV, on a dating show.
Ye Zhen-zhen, go fall in love.
Otherwise, in a few years,
Dad and Mom are going to make you
meet guys who can't find a wife.
Then you'd wish you could travel
back in time to get a boyfriend.
Am I right, Che?
Why did you ask him?
Enough of this. I'm going to work.
-What happened to eating together?
-I'm breaking the rules today.
Ye Zhen-zhen
Bike broke down?
I forgot to fill up.
Hey, hey.
What?
Your skirt.
What's with my skirt?
You forgot to zip up.
Turn around.
No need. I can do it myself.
Whatever.
That's just static.
Elementary school science.
I Of course, I know about static.
Good. I don't want you thinking
it was what your brother said.
That magical spark, ignited by a touch.
Not with you.
Oh, my God,
we eat breakfast together,
walk to work together.
What is going on?
If Ye Zhen-zhen has never been in love,
then was that her first kiss yesterday?
Should I apologize to her?
But that was an accident.
So
Rolex
My last name is Chen, with an E.
And my first name is Che.
How long have we known each other?
You should know my name by now.
Chen Che.
Why did you take a job at my company?
You despised
Bad News Jian's original offer.
What changed your mind?
Although you probably won't say yes to me,
I really can't get fired again.
And Ya-juan is about to leave, too.
It's simple.
I needed a job, I thought.
I thought
you refused to be my client out of spite.
Ye Zhen-zhen, look on the bright side
and you'll see a better world.
-What are you listening to?
-The radio.
It's "The Waking Moment,"
the theme song for Ya-juan and I.
The song that Mom listens to
all the time
turns out to be her theme song.
Can I listen?
Okay.
It's the newest song by Sarah Chen.
You just got back
probably haven't heard it.
Let me tell you, this song is really
Why let yourself fall so hard
Love can be a mess
Don't hang on to the tenderness
Heartbreak is sure to come
In every waking moment
Some things you better not know
Some men you better never wait for
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
I was moved by the lyrics.
A lot of feelings came up.
Feelings?
Does the song mean
something special to you?
Something special?
What do you mean by something special?
You don't like a song for no reason.
Sometimes it's the melody.
Sometimes it's the lyrics.
Sometimes, after a few years,
the reason that made you like a song
is forgotten.
What remains is the feeling
when you first heard the song.
I simply like this song.
Is there any song that reflects
your feeling of the moment?
"Leave the Surface of the Earth"
by Mayday.
Mayday?
Are they popular?
A foreign band?
Leave the surface of the Earth?
To land on the moon?
So
-What does "The Waking Moment"
-We're at the office.
mean to Chen Ya-juan?
Morning.
Chen Che.
Yes.
I want to return these shoes.
I have no idea how you know my size.
But I just can't accept
such an expensive gift.
So thank you for the thought.
Morning, Zhen-zhen.
What?
I'll be at your service from now on.
Why you?
It's Li-jing who lost the bet.
Well you know,
Li-jing is busy making sales.
So, the errand boy steps in.
No, thank you.
Sore loser.
Bite me.
Chen Che!
The market is about to be open.
This is the stock I picked.
Can you check?
2002 Central Steel is good.
Mr. Chen, besides Central Steel,
what other stock is gonna skyrocket?
1407 Hwa Long will rise today.
What about Guo Shou?
2882?
Yes, yes.
It'll go up 6.8 percent today.
You can buy.
Buy, buy.
Six point eight percent!
So, it'll be Central Steel's treat
tonight!
Hwa Long will get the drinks.
As for the karaoke after-party,
Guo Shou will take care of it!
Let's thank Mr. Chen.
Thank you Mr. Chen.
Hurry! Money waits for no one.
Market's about to open. Hurry!
Did I
do the right thing?
Li-jing, someone stole your thunder.
Please. You know who I am.
I'm Tai Yuan's number one sales associate
five years in a row.
If clients want me
to buy stocks for them,
they'd make sure I'm in the right mood.
Would I care about him?
Never.
Don't be upset, Li-jing.
Let me get you a glass of water.
You came in with Chen Che today?
Yep. I forgot to fill up Jenny.
That's why we went together
Not that I wanted to.
Juan,
so much has happened
in the past two days.
Just this morning,
Guo-an told me he's got a girlfriend.
And then
Chen che and I, we
Excuse me,
is Miss Hu Li-jing here?
Over there.
The one with the clown make-up.
Yeah, it's a bit much. Thanks.
Excuse me, are you Miss Foxy Jing?
-It's Hu Li-jing
-Please excuse me.
-What about the flowers?
-Just leave them.
Such beautiful flowers.
Excuse me, is Miss Hu Li-jing here?
Ya-juan, do men not like me?
Men keep coming in
and out of the office,
but no one has ever asked for my number.
At this rate, I'm gonna end up
like what Guo-an said,
getting set up by my parents.
That's not gonna happen.
Excuse me.
Hu Li-jing is over there.
Are you Miss Ye?
Yes, I am.
Please open a
stock trading account for me.
Of course.
Right here.
And you thought that no man likes you.
This man asked for you.
Excuse me, did someone
recommend you to come here?
My dad.
He said that many sales associates
won't take on small-time clients like us.
So, he suggested
that I find younger associates.
The green ones got more time, right?
No, not at all.
They are more enthusiastic and kinder.
Here's a pen.
Do you happen to be free after work?
Zhen-zhen doesn't socialize with clients.
What if I'm not your client?
I'd rather have dinner with you
than be your client.
We just met and we're going to dinner?
It's a little soon.
You think so?
But my dad really likes you.
Your dad?!
My dad's been here many times.
He said you're pretty and hard working.
He's very attracted to you.
He's been looking
for a second chance.
You wouldn't mind the age gap, right?
Excuse me.
I am very flattered,
but I have a guy I like.
This is him.
Yeah?
All right. Thank you, Miss Ye.
I'll head out, then.
What's the situation here?
A grandpa's got his eye
on Ye Zhen-zhen.
Ye Zhen-zhen,
either no one approaches you
or it's someone truly special.
I'm embarrassed.
I put you on the spot.
Don't be embarrassed. We're friends.
Anytime you need help,
I'm at your service.
What's so funny?
Everyone can laugh except you.
Why is she so mean to me?
What's going on?
I'm so upset.
He just kept on laughing.
You should have seen Chen Che's face!
That was none of his business.
Okay.
Others laughed, too.
Why are you so mad at him?
Because
Ye Zhen-zhen, don't move.
Are you afraid of me?
-Nope.
-Then why are you standing like this?
Are you all right, Zhen-zhen?
-It hurts.
-I can rub it for you.
Keep it together.
You still need to walk home.
Keep it together?
When most people see someone get hurt,
they offer sympathy.
And you tell me to keep it together?
You keep it together!
You've been
very strange today.
No way.
Well, take a sip and see.
-So sweet!
-Something to do with Chen Che?
Yeah.
Promise me.
Never ever tell anyone.
Okay, I promise.
Separated by a distance of 27 years,
yet two individuals could be so close
