Boss & Me (2014) s01e09 Episode Script

Episode 9

1
Spring Festival is coming. I can go home.
I've made up my mind to save the money
for the four-day leave and lost bonus.
Everyone,
attention, please.
This is Zhou Xiaowei.
From today,
she'll take over Chengjuan's work.
Nice to meet you.
Zhou Xiaowei's temperament and beauty
are more than enough
to join the group secretariat.
She's overqualified
for the Finance Department.
Shanshan.
She'll be your supervisor from now on.
Hello, my name is Xue Shanshan.
I'd appreciate your guidance.
Don't say so.
I'd need your help in the future.
That's all right.
Thank you, Mr. Lian.
You're welcome.
I heard that you graduated
from Qing University.
I did undergraduate
and graduate studies there.
Later, I went to the University of Chicago
for my master's degree.
I heard you passed the exam
and got the CPA certificate.
It's so hard to get a CPA certificate.
How long did you prepare for it?
It took me over a year for these.
My ability is getting worse and worse.
Then why don't you go
to an accounting firm?
After Chengjuan got the CPA,
she went to an accounting firm.
Well, Wind Group contacted me first.
Wind Group is so sincere
and offers me a salary I can't refuse.
And you…
All right, get back to work.
Wind Group offered to recruit her.
So she probably won't stay here for long.
She will be promoted soon.
CPA, right?
It seems that
I can't just quarrel with the boss.
I shall prove myself to him.
These days, Shuangyi asked me
not to go to her home.
She said there were many women
in the house.
Didn't you hurt your foot?
Why do you still have guests?
I think they must be Mr. Feng's sister,
Ms. Feng Yue and Ms. Yuan, right?
How do you know that?
I'm good, right?
I was just guessing.
In fact, during the staff trip,
we already know
that the reason
why you're so close to Mr. Feng
is that you've donated blood
to his sister, Ms. Feng Yue.
Because you all have
rare Rh negative blood.
Everybody knows that?
Everybody knows that I'm a blood donor.
What are you talking about?
We all think you're awesome.
Right.
Let me tell you.
Shuangyi has told me so before.
But I know you don't want others to know.
I just kept it to myself.
Actually, Shanshan,
I think you're really nice.
You're kind and you don't expect
anything in return.
Anyway, in short, it's just a good thing.
Right.
The good guys will get what they deserve.
It's lucky that you can get to know
the boss and his family because of this.
-Right.
-It's not about luck.
I didn't mean to hide it.
It's just this thing
is about Ms. Feng Yue's privacy.
I can't tell others about it.
But don't you think
that's the destiny
between you and the boss?
I think he has feelings for you.
Don't be ridiculous.
Don't say that nonsense.
If anyone hears about it,
rumors will fill up the whole office.
The boss will definitely be pissed.
No, don't say that.
I'm not talking nonsense.
On the day of the staff trip,
you fell down the slope.
Everybody saw the boss's reaction.
Think about it.
Why would a big boss be so nervous
about an employee's injury?
Because of you,
we ended the trip early.
I can't tell Jia
that the boss was nervous
because he played tricks first.
If he showed no care to me,
that's not like what a boss should do.

Getting pregnant again?
So fast.
Keep it down. I'm embarrassed.
I didn't mean anything by that.
I'm just saying congratulations.
Thank you.
I'll tell you what.
This time, you may have a cesarean.
You need to be prepared.
It can't be like before.
Well, that's too scary
to find blood temporarily.
Last time, it was thanks to Shanshan.
Rest assured this time.
I'm always prepared for you.
But I do have one small request.
What?
Please don't make me eat
any more pork liver rice, okay?
All right.
What are you talking about
so happily, ladies?
Mr. Yan.
Sit down, don't stand up.
Things are different now.
Excuse me. I'll go to the bathroom first.
I'll go with you.
-Is everything okay?
-Take it slow.
Be careful.
How about you, Shanshan?
Are your feet getting better?
They are much better.
As long as I don't bounce around,
it doesn't hurt at all.
I just heard from Feng Yue
about your good news.
Congratulations.
My wife did the hard work.
She always wanted to go to Europe.
She likes it there very much.
That's where we went on our honeymoon.
But later, she got pregnant
for the first time.
Now, the plan has been on hold
for two years.
Two years?
Right.
I've told Ms. Feng
not to make me a box lunch anymore.
I really can't eat anymore.
It's said that one is what one eats.
Look at my bright and rosy cheeks.
If I go on eating like this,
I'll become a real pig.
I can't decide for her.
Go talk to her yourself.
How can I contact Ms. Feng?
She went to Europe
and will be back in a month.
-But he…
-You two.
What are you talking about so happily?
About how you want to go to Europe.
When I finish the confinement,
let's go together.
Great.
Let's go.
Okay, we'll go first.
-Bye.
-Have a good rest.
Did the boss lie to me?
Why would he lie?
Is it because he wants
to bring me a box lunch?
Or…
does he like me?
WHEN I RETURN, GREET ME IN THE LOBBY.
What?
When will you be back?
It can't be tomorrow.
You said you'd come back a week later.
No.
Would he deduct my year-end bonus?
Why don't these people play by the rules?
It seems better.
Zhang.
Well,
when will Mr. Feng be back today?
Will Mr. Feng be back today?
I didn't get the message.
Well, maybe I misheard it.
It's okay.
I'm just asking.
Luckily, it's not today.
He has some humanity in him.
My feet are better.
I just walk with a slight limp.
Greet him in the lobby?
It's weird just to think about it.
He won't ask me
to do a catwalk in the lobby
just for 57 yuan, will he?
-Come on.
-Thank you.
Is that all right with you?
I can get you a wheelchair.
No, it has been many days.
I'll recover soon.
Handsome Qi.
Zhang.
You said the boss
wouldn't come back today.
Then why is Handsome Qi here?
Right. Maybe Mr. Zheng came back first.
You can never underestimate
the boss's men.
The boss may be standing in the lobby
and waiting for me to walk in now.
He just asked me about the wheelchair.
He wants me to prove that I can't stand.
He really can't be trusted.
I have to walk into the office building
no matter what.
Everybody.
There's an emergency.
By the end of the day,
we need to make an inventory
of the assets and cash flow
of two subsidiaries.
Thank you for your efforts.
What do you mean?
Audit of the Tax Bureau?
Maybe.
It's the order from the top.
It's an emergency.
Why now?
We've been so busy.
We're so exhausted.
A spot check is meant
to catch you by surprise.
All right, let's work.
All right.
-Give me that.
-Audit of the Tax Bureau.
-Thank you.
-Is that taken in the whole group?
-Such a big move.
-I need a report. I'll go.
Even a financial assistant like me
knows it's not simple,
-especially when the boss is not here.
-Take a look. Is this fine?
-Let me see.
-Right,
why does the boss leave at this moment?
-Here is the document.
-I'll check this.
Okay.
Shanshan, make a copy of these documents.
Okay.
Sorry to bother you.
It's okay. I got it.
I just move slowly.
Then take care.
Zhou Xiaowei is new here.
She doesn't know
Shanshan has the boss backing her up.
Look at her. She's really like a director.
She said that it was Wind Group
that offered her the position.
We don't know who made the offer.
Maybe it's one of the leaders.
Stop gossiping and get to work.
You can use the printer first.
-Thank you very much!
-It's okay.
The KM Group acquisition plan has failed.
The boss vanished at the airport.
I heard that too.
Before the boss boarded the plane,
he suddenly asked Zheng Qi
to return first.
Then there was no reply.
I don't know what happened.
A getaway?
That's not like what the boss would do.
What else could it be?
I heard that's the plan
the boss cares about the most.
It suddenly failed.
And now, we have an audit.
This is a really weird situation.
Even Zheng Qi didn't know where he went.
Mr. Yan is worried.
Will they find anything illegal
in the company?
It can't be.
I think it may be a coincidence.
Look. Zheng Qi is back.
Mr. Yan also goes to work as usual.
Besides, the Feng family
is an old name in the business.
It won't be broken so easily.
I hope so.
Right.
Failed? Missing?
What is going on?
Last night, he asked me
to greet him when he's back.
Shanshan.
Why are you here so late today?
You just returned from work?
It has been a busy day.
I watched the news.
There's an audit
of the company today, right?
It's in the news?
It's such a large company.
Of course every move
will be focused on by the press.
But every three or four years,
the Tax Bureau will take an audit.
This is normal.
What do you want to drink? Coffee?
No, thank you.
Zhang is waiting for me outside.
I'm here just to ask you one thing.
Just say it.
Lishu seems so relaxed.
I think the boss is all right.
Where is the boss now?
Feng Teng? Isn't he in South Korea?
You don't know that…
What?
It's nothing.
I heard in the company
that he left South Korea.
But he did not return to China.
He has his own schedule.
His own schedule?
Personal schedule.
Shanshan, you care so much
about Feng Teng.
Why don't you send him a text yourself?
I'm just a small employee.
How would I dare to ask
about Mr. Feng's private schedule?
Do you like Feng Teng?
Last time, when you asked me
if Feng Teng and I were a couple,
I was about to ask you.
Do you like Feng Teng?
No. How could I?
Even if I were so confident,
I wouldn't dare to like Mr. Feng.
All right, I'm just…
Just think of me as a gossiping employee.
In the office today,
I just heard something about failure
and the boss going missing.
So I came to ask you.
Those rumors are so funny.
You're right.
Don't tell Feng Yue about this
so that she doesn't have to worry.
Sure.
Right.
I don't need to be so nervous.
I'm just a small employee who gets paid.
The Wind Group is so big.
Even if the boss changes,
it will still work as usual.
If there's any problem,
senior executives should worry,
instead of me.
I'm being such a worrywart.
JANUARY 8TH, 9TH, 10TH, 11TH, 12TH
-How do I do this?
-Handsome Qi.
Shanshan, how's your foot?
I'm sorry.
I've been too busy lately to visit you.
It's getting better.
Well, Handsome Qi.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
You really don't know
where Mr. Feng is, right?
You heard about that?
This is indeed a blow to him.
We confidently thought
we could make the acquisition
of Korea's KM Group.
We didn't expect
Essol Investment of the US
would interfere with the whole plan.
I'm sure he's having a hard time.
So…
where is he now?
I wish I knew.
But don't worry.
A wounded lion hates to be seen by others.
I'm sure he'll hide himself
and get healed.
When he gets over it himself,
he'll show up with refreshed spirit.
When Feng Teng is not here,
we need to work together more than ever.
Right?
All right, that's okay.
I'll get back to work.
A wounded lion.
It's hard to imagine.
I was mad at the boss just for 57 yuan.
When he's wounded,
it concerns hundreds of million yuan,
the salary and bonus
of thousands of employees.
However,
the boss's huge injury can't be cured
by a small employee like me.
Every expenditure and income
are clear on this account.
Why is it inconsistent?
Recheck it and it will be consistent.
I'll calculate it again, okay?
Handsome Qi and Mr. Yan
work hard day and night.
But the boss still didn't show up.
Handsome Qi is right.
As an employee,
that's what we should do.
However,
there's always some emotion
between people.
Even a cold-blooded man like the boss
would be happy
to be greeted by a small employee.
I'm all right.
How are you?
I'll greet you in the lobby.
"In the lobby."
That is…
What happened, Shanshan?
Meals in the staff canteen
certainly can't be compared
with the boss's.
Well, you could at least eat some.
No. Maybe it's just too much work.
I feel dizzy.
"Everyone, go to the lobby at 1 p.m."
What's the matter?
Is it about the Tax Bureau coming?
It can't be.
That just concerns the Finance Department.
But the atmosphere in the office
feels weird recently.
Everyone is nervous these days.
Is there something serious going on?
Everyone, I'm here to tell you good news.
We have successfully acquired
the KM Group.
These days,
the boss flew to the US for this.
I'm sorry.
For confidentiality
and to divert attention from outside,
we spread some news that is not credible.
We're sorry to make you worried.
Now, let's welcome our boss
back in triumph.
What's the matter?
I'm happy.
It's nice to keep my year-end bonus.
What happened to Shanshan?
I did a little trick.
Isn't that what people do?
When you're suddenly not around,
she would realize your importance.
Good job, buddy.
Xue Shanshan's tears are your trophy.
I'M ALL RIGHT. HOW ARE YOU?
I'LL GREET YOU IN THE LOBBY.
In the past two years,
Korea's KM Group has been active
to strive for cooperation with the US
for the new smartphone project.
Wind Group has been working
with them for years.
This time, it becomes
its majority shareholder.
There is no doubt
that KM Group will benefit from it.
It successfully acquired KM Group.
Other news are as follows.
I got sick at this critical time.
I can't ask for leave
at the end of the year.
It's just a cold.
If I take the medicine,
I'll recover in seven days.
But if I don't, I'll recover in a week.
I'll just drink plenty of water.
I'm done.
I was so full.
All the energy goes to digesting food.
I can't think right now.
I'm dizzy.
The boss isn't looking at me.
It seems that he's immersed in his work.
It's okay if I take a nap, right?
Xue Shanshan.
Shanshan.
What's the matter with you?
Shanshan.
Linda.
Doctor, how is she?
It's all right. Just a little fever.
Does she need a transfusion?
Not for now.
She just needs to take
some medicine and rest.
All right. Thank you.
You're awake.
Mr. Feng.
Why did I fall asleep?
Why didn't you tell me
you're not feeling well?
He's not scolding me for sleeping at work?
Mr. Feng, you're not mad at me?
Why would I be mad?
Don't work today.
I've applied for leave for you
with your section chief.
What did you say to my section chief?
From now on, don't think about anything.
Have a good rest and take your medicine.
If you don't listen to me,
I'll deduct your year-end bonus.
Lie down.
Though the boss is temperamental,
he's just like the weather in June.
When it's not raining,
the sun is still shining.
But sometimes, the sunlight is too bright.
It's also dazzling.
Every time I'm here,
I've always been scared.
If I don't come,
I would be a little upset.
What are you thinking?
Just kidding.
If that day comes,
I'll celebrate it
with drums and firecrackers.
Have you heard that at noon yesterday,
the new girl, Zhou Xiaowei,
got in the boss's car?
-Really?
-Of course.
I wouldn't dare say this kind of thing
without seeing it myself.
My gosh.
In public,
this is a formal signal.
Sure.
Otherwise, she would keep it low.
Well,
the crow flew up to the branch
and became a phoenix.
We have to work overtime all these days.
But Zhou Xiaowei?
Today, the section chief
gave her a day off.
Shanshan.
Shanshan, don't get me wrong.
Actually, it's just that Zhou Xiaowei
got in Mr. Feng's car yesterday.
I'm sure she'll be out of the car soon.
Unlike you,
you're always in Mr. Feng's car.
Right?
But I heard Zhou Xiaowei
is Rh negative too.
Mr. Feng's sister
lost a lot of blood yesterday.
He asked her there
for a blood transfusion.
What happened?
I heard she miscarried.
Why am I telling you this?
You're around the boss every day.
You're in the center of gossip.
You must know these things.
Yes, of course I do.
-Then Shanshan…
-Shanshan…
What's going on?
According to Ms. Feng's habit,
she'll probably ask someone
to give Zhou Xiaowei
pork liver rice tomorrow.
Then she'll eat it in Mr. Feng's office.
And she'll pick out food for him.
Then I won't have to go
to Mr. Feng's office.
And then I will be liberated.
God really heard me.
He gave me a bad cold
at the crucial moment.
That's something I've been waiting for.
It's a dream come true.
No one knows if Shanshan's cold
is a fortune or misfortune.
Wind Group gave an offer to Zhou Xiaowei.
It must be because
of her special blood type.
Considering the condition
of a blood donor,
Zhou Xiaowei is better than me
in terms of IQ and appearance.
Zhou Xiaowei or Xue Shanshan.
If I were the boss,
I would also abandon Xue Shanshan.
Abandon?
Why would I use the word "abandon"?
LI BOOKSTORE
LI BOOKSTORE
Shanshan.
-Lishu.
-I'm sorry.
I'm really busy today.
Thanks to Jiang Lian,
my bookstore is booming now.
The reserve of a bookstore
disappears completely.
It's great that the business
is good anyway.
Well, I heard that Feng Yue miscarried.
How is she? Is she all right?
I just went to see her yesterday.
Her body is fine.
She's just in a bad mood.
She doesn't want to see people.
When can I go and see her then?
After a while.
She doesn't want to see people right now.
You don't have to worry about her.
How are you? Are you feeling better?
I'm much better.
I asked for a leave yesterday afternoon.
And I had a rest at night.
Now, I'm fully recovered.
Then I'll take you to eat
and get some nutrients.
I'm hungry anyway.
Okay.
-Let's go.
-Come on.
Lishu shows no special feelings
for others who donate blood to Feng Yue.
Let alone the boss.
In his eyes,
I'm just a blood donor.
What are you doing? Are you in a daze?
Shuangyi.
I'm just making a metaphor.
Let's say a pig was captured by a wolf.
The wolf said,
"I raised you
just to eat your meat in the future."
The pig was reluctant and afraid.
But because it couldn't defeat the wolf,
it had to eat what the wolf fed it.
After a while,
the pig was getting fatter and fatter.
Then…
the wolf let it go
and caught another pig to eat.
Unexpectedly, the pig felt miserable.
What should the pig do?
Are there pigs like this in the world?
It is indeed a pig.
You're missing the point.
Not being eaten up
is supposed to be a happy thing.
Why did the pig feel terrible?
The pig must have fallen in love
with the wolf.
It's a cross-species relationship.
It's romantic.
Wait, did you come up
with this story in a daze?
Or is it some kind of fable?
You are very talented.
If I have to write this, I'll write it…
Lu Shuangyi, you're an idiot.
What? I can share the royalties with you.
Don't be stingy.
A cross-species relationship.
It's romantic.
Xue Shanshan,
what are you depressed about?
You finally leave the job
as a vegetable picker.
You should be happy.
This is a cheerful thing.
You should be a happy girl.
-It's lunchtime.
-Lunchtime.
Shanshan, why don't you go to lunch?
Do you still have a cold?
Why don't you eat
in Mr. Feng's office today?
My cold has recovered.
But I don't have to go today.
It's a holiday.
What's good in the canteen?
-Let's go together.
-All right, let's go.
Hello?
Xue Shanshan,
how dare you go on strike?
Jia.
Mr. Feng is calling me.
I'll go upstairs first.
I'll have lunch with you next time.
Mr. Feng,
is Ms. Feng all right?
She's all right.
That's good.
What will you and Ms. Feng do
to thank Ms. Zhou?
