Boss & Me (2014) s01e17 Episode Script
Episode 17
1
I'M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU EMBARRASSED.
IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR YOU
TO FAIL IN CONFESSING YOUR LOVE.
BUT ACTUALLY,
IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR ME TOO.
Zheng Qi is confessing his love
with posters?
Lishu is a romantic lady
who runs a bookstore.
Will that work?
It's not a love confession,
it's an apology.
Apologize for what?
I heard that night on Valentine's Day,
Zheng Qi spent time with a bunch
of female colleagues in his department.
Did something happen?
And Lishu knew it?
I had started to wonder
whether I should help him or not.
Before last night,
they were not together yet.
Actually, he didn't do anything wrong.
Are you supporting him?
Or is it your real thought?
He starts to chase Lishu
after staying with other girls?
What does he want?
Though Zheng Qi is our friend,
Lishu is our friend too.
Will Lishu suffer?
You can be at ease.
Lishu won't let herself suffer.
Anyway, isn't he apologizing now?
MAYBE YOU'RE SAD.
BUT I THINK I FEEL SAD TOO.
WE SHARE THE SAME FEELINGS.
SO THE BEST WAY IS…
TO FORGE
THE LOVE CONFESSION.
I WON'T MENTION IT ANYMORE.
ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?
Do you think we can be friends?
Of course we can.
I've always been your good friend.
Feng Teng.
If you can find a better girlfriend
someday in the future,
you don't need to apologize to me.
As long as you tell me,
then I'll leave you without hesitation.
My foolish girl.
Are you threatening me?
I wouldn't dare.
I just want
to be abandoned with my dignity.
I don't want to be that pitiful.
How could I do that to you?
Lishu, have you made up with him?
Zheng Qi just comforted several
brokenhearted colleagues last night.
Everyone knows
that he's popular in the firm.
Don't misunderstand it.
Well, I know that.
I went there too.
You went there?
Zheng Qi invited me.
She's right.
We had some misunderstandings
at the party.
So she's angry with me.
Enough. Let's forget it.
It has passed.
Don't mention it again.
Why haven't you ordered? I'm hungry.
The ink pasta here is very tasty.
Waiter.
Didn't we agree to stop over there?
Why do you stop here?
Xue Shanshan.
What are you doing?
I'm tying my shoes.
Your shoes don't have shoestrings.
Get off.
I'm your boss inside the building.
But outside,
you're my girlfriend.
Can't I send my girlfriend to work?
Why do I need to conceal my romance?
You have to endure the pressure.
You're the best.
In this direction…
Love is so great.
But his love for me is so amazing.
Good morning, everyone.
Xue Shanshan.
I heard Mr. Feng drove you to work today.
How can you tell us
that you refused his love?
Valentine's Day just passed.
You said you would work overtime
and Mr. Feng sent you to work at once?
Well…
Mr. Feng just sent me to work
-in passing.
-In passing?
Can anyone get on his car in passing?
I agree.
Be frank.
Shanshan.
Are you and Mr. Feng together?
As you can see.
My gosh.
-My goodness.
-I envy her so much.
Shanshan, you know
that I don't have many friends here.
So you know we're friends, right?
Shouldn't you let me know
if you have a boyfriend?
You've already known it?
Are you really together? Is that right?
Xue Shanshan!
Mr. Yan, Xue Shanshan
is on the name list of pay raise.
So can you give me a few tips?
What tips can I give you?
Just follow the rules and regulations.
Could it be easy like that?
She's now an assistant.
If I apply for more,
others will gossip about it.
If I don't, it will let
Mr. Feng's girlfriend feel wronged.
Should his girlfriend's salary
be paid by the firm?
That sounds reasonable.
He'll buy things for her.
It's their family affair.
Strangers like us shouldn't talk about it.
I don't know how much
I can get in the end.
If I get too much,
others will attribute it
to our relationship.
No one will think I've done a good job.
But according to Feng Teng's character,
maybe he'll reduce the range
to avert suspicion.
Won't it be unfair to me?
Come on.
Being together with him
makes me suffer a loss.
Feng Teng,
couldn't you wait a little longer?
Couldn't you make it public
after raising the pay?
Hello?
Have you gotten off work?
Yes.
I can't dine with you today.
I've been invited to a dinner party.
Haven't you texted me?
I've already known it.
If so, why didn't you reply to me?
Well…
What's going on?
The firm will raise the pay soon.
What will the firm think of my work?
What's your idea?
I think I've done a good job.
But it won't depend on my opinion, right?
The firm will judge it.
I think the firm
will follow the rules.
I see. Goodbye.
Xue Shanshan.
It's sad to hear my boyfriend say that.
I should be happy about the pay raise.
How can I feel sad
and tangled about it now?
Liuliu, where are you going?
Chenghao's dad knows
we're going to break up,
so he stops funding him.
What's more terrible is that he's going
to stop Chenghao's program in Beijing.
It was started by me.
So I have to go tackle it.
So how long will you stay there?
I have no idea now.
Anyway, I'll only be back
after solving it.
Take care of yourself.
The same to you. Take care.
Don't worry.
If they break up,
the program will be halted.
Office romance gets into trouble
more easily than I think.
It would be nice to have the love ban now.
Though there are gossips,
we still can distinguish
between public and private matters.
Be happier!
My salary will be raised!
Can you let me get off at the old place?
Is it shameful to be with me?
Of course not.
I'm afraid I'm too fat now.
I just want to take a walk.
But I like how you are now.
Xue Shanshan.
You have to get adjusted to it.
Hi, everyone.
-Ms. Xue, come and sit.
-Please sit down.
-Have some tea.
-Have some water, please.
Thank you so much.
-I'm here to give you the materials.
-Thank you.
-Here you are.
-Thank you.
-Take care.
-Take care.
Okay.
Get adjusted to what?
Strange gazes and treatment?
-Bye!
-Bye!
-Bye!
-Bye!
Feng Teng is on the 22nd floor,
so how can he know
my pressure and environment?
I have to spend an hour sending materials.
It's so inefficient!
-Ms. Xue.
-They seem to be enthusiastic about you
but maybe they'll blame you at the back
if you can't respond to them well.
-They'll think you're arrogant.
-Ms. Xue.
-Ms. Xue.
-However, I can only treat them carefully.
I don't want to see anything
like Shirley's case again.
Ms. Xue.
Shanshan.
You've suffered a lot.
Shanshan, you've thought too much.
The reason why they gossip about you
is not that you're an assistant.
Though I stay at home now,
I still know some gossip in the office.
Since the work is busy,
they want to reduce pressure by gossiping.
You don't know how they gossiped
about Yan Qing and me.
Was he being gossiped like this too?
Yes. It's the misfortune
of our Feng Family.
Whomever I or Feng Teng is with,
others will always talk behind our backs.
That's why he asked you to adjust to it.
Get adjusted to their gossip.
Feng Yue, if so, it's unfair for Shanshan.
Yan Qing was a celebrity on Wall Street.
He was invited to work here.
But our Shanshan
is just a small assistant.
The levels of the libel are different.
Shanshan.
Actually, I don't think
you need to feel stressed.
If you can't adjust to it,
you can resign.
Resign?
Feng Teng can raise you.
I think it will be easy for you
to make a choice
between Feng Teng and your job.
Though I'm with him,
I still want to have my own job.
I don't want to mix them up to choose.
I want to be with him,
but I still want to work.
But you can't gain them both.
It's an easy truth.
She's right.
You don't have to work so hard.
I don't have other meanings.
Well, as you're young
and lightweight for work,
I'm afraid you'll still be an assistant
at other firms.
His girlfriend is an assistant?
I'm afraid I can't support that.
Come on. Now, I have no route of retreat.
How can you say that?
Since Shanshan is Feng Teng's girlfriend,
I think many firms want to hire her.
At least she can be a manager.
Won't others gossip about it more often?
I don't think he'll allow it to happen.
You can go tell Feng Teng.
-Me?
-Yes.
I stay at home
and ask nothing about the firm.
I think you should go tell him.
Me? How can he listen to me?
At least you're a shareholder.
It doesn't mean a shareholder
needs to say anything.
Go and try it.
-What can I say?
-How can I tell him?
Forget it.
You're far from the topic.
I just want to get it off my chest.
Things are not that terrible.
I won't resign.
I'll stay and work here.
So please don't tell him
about what I said.
-Actually, I…
-Well…
My lunch hour is over.
Go ahead and chat.
I have to go back to work.
Bye!
I won't resign.
My probationary period is just over
and I'm protected by labor laws now.
It seems Feng Teng is right.
I have to get adjusted to it.
Xue Shanshan, you need to get adjusted.
You can't complain like that anymore.
580, 590.
600, 612.
"Xue Shanshan, Finance Assistant
from No. 12 Finance Department.
According to your great performance
on the job,
you'll be given an 8% pay increase.
It will be effective from next month."
Great!
They follow the rules in the end.
If the firm gives me an unusual raise
because of our relationship,
then how can I
keep on working here later on?
Shanshan, you've got the letter?
-How much did you get?
-I got 8%!
Only 8%?
Only 8%?
I thought you could get 10% at least.
So your salary grade
is the same as an assistant's?
Yes. I'm just an assistant.
Okay, stop.
We can't discuss our salaries in private.
I think Mr. Feng doesn't want her
to draw attention,
so he gave her a basic adjustment.
-Am I right?
-Sounds reasonable. I agree.
They just got together.
Why bother to arouse controversy?
Maybe she'll get a great promotion
at the end of the year.
It's fine for her to be a director.
You're right. If they're true love,
they won't care about the trifles.
What on earth should I do?
I've got what I should get,
but they still think too much.
If I had known,
I would have asked for 20%.
At least the money can make me happy.
Maybe it could make me happy.
Who can refuse to get a raise?
Heavens, why do you embarrass
a hardworking salary-woman?
Shanshan.
Could I have copies of the materials?
-I need to use them this afternoon.
-Okay.
Mr. Lian.
Shanshan, what else?
I want to say something about the raise.
The raise?
I approved it.
And the firm confirmed it.
Are there any problems?
No.
I just want to thank you for it.
To be honest,
you didn't perform well at first.
After that,
everyone here could see
your efforts and progress.
I think I should apologize to you.
As your leader,
I'm not like other section chiefs.
I didn't consider
your relationship with Mr. Feng.
I know.
But that's why I want to thank you.
It makes me feel
the sense of being approved.
So you don't need to apologize.
I should be grateful to you.
It's all your hard work.
BEEF NOODLE
What happened? Why are you so happy?
It's a good thing
to be recognized by my leader.
But you won't have a chance
to know our feelings.
I have to find a new house.
I can't live with Liuliu anymore.
Are you unhappy staying there?
No.
It's because of her boyfriend.
Their relationship is so complex.
If I still live with her,
I'm afraid I'll bring her more trouble.
You mean she lives with her boyfriend?
Yes.
But it's not the same as you think.
He has gone to Beijing for business,
so he's not in Shanghai.
That was why I went to live with her.
Why haven't you told me about it?
It's not a big deal.
Should I have said it on purpose?
Good job, Xue Shanshan.
I only have one question.
Do you think I'll allow you to sleep
on another man's bed?
Mr. Feng, you're thinking too much.
It's common to live in a cousin's home.
Does it matter?
Move to my house tomorrow.
No. How can I live with you?
How about I use my own sheet and quilts?
Or should I sleep on the sofa?
Should I make a bed on the floor?
Has your cousin married her boyfriend?
Can you stop setting
some sort of trap for me?
I know I'm wrong.
I promise I'll move out in three days.
In one day.
If you can't, then come live with me.
Fine. Deal.
Tomorrow it is.
Tomorrow is after tomorrow.
Let today pass first.
Eat up.
See you later!
Shanshan!
-Tomorrow!
-I know!
Good night. Bye.
I took a day off to register.
Heavens, please bless me
to find a suitable house.
Let me tackle it today.
It's all Feng Teng's fault.
He told me I can't sleep on a man's bed,
which made me lose sleep.
I finally fell asleep on the floor.
My back is so sore now.
Hello?
Hello. Are you Ms. Xue?
Yes. Who is it?
My surname is Jiang.
You can just call me Jiang.
Are you going to rent a house?
There's a house here
that meets your requirements.
So…
Are you kidding me?
I just left the place.
How did you know my contact number?
I saw it on the Internet.
Did I register online?
Yes.
Did I?
Did the agency
post my information online so quickly?
Did I register?
I haven't seen it before.
I think the agency should contact me.
How can the house owner call me directly?
The agency and I are on pretty good terms.
When will you be free?
Should I show you around the house?
I'm free now…
Now? So great.
I'm available too.
Should I drive you there?
Is he a liar?
Would a homeowner do so?
He must be a liar.
Liar!
Hello?
Xue Shanshan.
Have you found a house?
Feng Teng, I've just received a call.
He told me he was the house owner.
I don't know how he got my contact.
He asked me to see his house at once
and even wanted to pick me up.
Is he a liar?
Really?
I don't think so.
How about you send me his phone number?
Or shall I ask Zhang to send you there?
You're right.
Then I'll tell him
I've sent his number to my friend.
Then I'll find a security staff
in the block.
I'll let him see the staff.
Then I think he won't dare to hurt me.
I feel sorry for bothering Zhang
about such a trifle.
I'll text you.
-I'll send you his number.
-Okay.
Hello? Jiang?
I…
I'm afraid I'm already here.
It's No. 54, right?
Okay. That's it.
Fine. I'll wait for you downstairs.
A single building?
It's so upscale.
How can I rent such a house?
Ms. Xue, the design here is open-plan.
You see. The lighting
from both sides is pretty nice.
And you don't need to buy furniture.
Come with me this way.
Here's the kitchen.
Ms. Xue?
Here's our kitchen.
You can cook some simple meals here.
Isn't it a nice thing to have
such a delicate and charming house
in the downtown area?
Though it's small,
it has all the necessary components.
And it's close to the firm!
Then I can save a lot of time and fee!
Sir, how large is the house?
It's about 60 m².
I think it's enough for a young woman.
How much is it per month?
Four…
About 2,500 yuan!
It's 2,500 yuan.
Come on.
Isn't it too low for the house here?
Good things are not cheap.
It must be a fraud.
For safety's sake,
may I see the certificate of the house?
Well, it's not mine.
It belongs to a foreign friend of mine.
Yesterday, he called me
to rent the house as much as I like.
So I don't have the certificate.
How about this?
If you don't believe me,
you can live before paying.
What?
You can live here first.
Pay me after you move here.
Can it be real?
HOUSE RENTAL AGREEMEN
The house is well lit!
It's full of sunlight.
And the furniture is all new.
It's so perfect.
The price is so nice.
As his friend has said so,
I feel embarrassed to refuse to rent it.
Can you come to help me move after work?
Bye!
What else do I need to do later?
Nothing else.
Fine. I need a driver.
Mr. Feng, are you going
to leave work early today?
Yes. I'm moving.
The landlord keeps the house spotless.
I think I don't need to clean it today.
It seems I can walk
to your apartment from here.
Then we can have breakfast together.
A morning walk for me!
Aren't I really lucky to find
such a cheap and beautiful house?
Jiang, I don't care about the rent.
You decide.
By the way,
behave naturally.
Don't be like a swindler.
Okay.
It's just like winning the lottery.
Here you are.
Shall I invite
Liuliu and Shuangyi to come?
It can be more solemn.
You can invite your cousin
and her boyfriend to dine.
You've lived there for so long.
I think I should express
my gratitude to them.
Let me treat them!
You?
Do you have money to treat them
after renting the house?
You're right.
Fine. Then it's your treat.
Speaking of it,
I don't have money for dinner today.
What about inviting me
to a dinner in passing?
It depends on you.
Please!
Fine. What do you want?
You decide.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you Xue Shanshan
from the Finance Department?
Yes, I am.
Are we…
Are we colleagues?
I'm Huang Yu from R&D Department.
I've met you several times in the firm.
Did you forget it?
No…
You're Huang Yu…
Do you live here?
I've just moved here.
Do you live here too?
No. I live in the block ahead.
Well, we're neighbors.
Let's take care of each other later on.
Then I'm going to work now.
-Fine.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Have you heard of it?
Mr. Yan's secretary, Shirley,
was fired because of her.
Really?
After Valentine's Day,
Mr. Feng drives her to commute.
How long haven't you updated your news?
This morning, Huang Yu from R&D
saw her move into a new house.
She has already had a house,
so is it a big deal to send her?
-Really?
-Yes!
She looks quite normal.
Is there anything wrong with the boss?
Or did she bewitch him?
So is it useful for us to powder here?
Pack up ourselves and go back to work.
He gave her a house.
I think they'll be over soon.
Girls are greedy. They always want more.
That's right.
I think beautiful girls should be
satisfied after gaining something.
I agree.
If she can marry him,
things will be different.
The most horrible thing
is not the challenge in front of us.
The challenges can be overcome,
but it's hard for us
to avoid the rumors spreading out
by strangers who know nothing
about the truth.
Feng Teng told me to adjust to it.
But it's so terrible for me.
I thought I was ready for it.
I thought I was full of courage.
But while I'm facing these challenges,
can I fight my way out only by myself?
What did you eat for lunch?
Box lunch at the staff canteen.
The fish
is really tasty.
Have more.
Our love is based on meal after meal.
It's hard-earned.
VIP CARD
Leaving that noisy office
filled with rumors
and coming back to his quiet apartment,
we can stay with each other
like normal couples.
I enjoy being like this.
Though such life is not full of surprises,
sometimes, even plain,
it's still a comfortable way for me.
I like being with him like this.
But I don't know what he thinks of me.
I'll beat you!
Try harder!
I win!
You're so nice!
Come on, babe. Let's cheer!
-Cheers!
-Congratulations!
You're pretty good.
Help me this round.
Fine. But you can play yourself.
Feng Teng.
Can I cook for you?
Then we don't need to hire a cook.
You don't like his meals?
I don't mean that.
I just want to cook for you myself.
Can you cook?
I'M SORRY FOR MAKING YOU EMBARRASSED.
IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR YOU
TO FAIL IN CONFESSING YOUR LOVE.
BUT ACTUALLY,
IT'S EMBARRASSING FOR ME TOO.
Zheng Qi is confessing his love
with posters?
Lishu is a romantic lady
who runs a bookstore.
Will that work?
It's not a love confession,

Shanshan.
Are you and Mr. Feng together?
As you can see.
My gosh.
-My goodness.
-I envy her so much.
Shanshan, you know
that I don't have many friends here.
So you know we're friends, right?
Shouldn't you let me know
if you have a boyfriend?
You've already known it?
Are you really together? Is that right?
Xue Shanshan!
Mr. Yan, Xue Shanshan
is on the name list of pay raise.
So can you give me a few tips?
What tips can I give you?
Just follow the rules and regulations.
Could it be easy like that?
She's now an assistant.
If I apply for more,
others will gossip about it.
If I don't, it will let
Mr. Feng's girlfriend feel wronged.
Should his girlfriend's salary

But according to Feng Teng's character,
maybe he'll reduce the range
to avert suspicion.
Won't it be unfair to me?
Come on.
Being together with him
makes me suffer a loss.
Feng Teng,
couldn't you wait a little longer?
Couldn't you make it public
after raising the pay?
Hello?
Have you gotten off work?
Yes.
I can't dine with you today.
I've been invited to a dinner party.
Haven't you texted me?
I've already known it.
If so, why didn't you reply to me?
Well…

Xue Shanshan.

It would be nice to have the love ban now.
Though there are gossips,
we still can distinguish
between public and private matters.
Be happier!
My salary will be raised!
Can you let me get off at the old place?
Is it shameful to be with me?
Of course not.
I'm afraid I'm too fat now.
I just want to take a walk.
But I like how you are now.
Xue Shanshan.
You have to get adjusted to it.
Hi, everyone.
-Ms. Xue, come and sit.
-Please sit down.
-Have some tea.
-Have some water, please.
Thank you so much.
-I'm here to give you the materials.
-Thank you.
-Here you are.
-Thank you.
-Take care.
-Take care.
Okay.
Get adjusted to what?
Strange gazes and treatment?
-Bye!
-Bye!
-Bye!
-Bye!
Feng Teng is on the 22nd floor,
so how can he know
my pressure and environment?
I have to spend an hour sending materials.
It's so inefficient!
-Ms. Xue.
-They seem to be enthusiastic about you
but maybe they'll blame you at the back
if you can't respond to them well.
-They'll think you're arrogant.
-Ms. Xue.
-Ms. Xue.
-However, I can only treat them carefully.
I don't want to see anything
like Shirley's case again.
Ms. Xue.
Shanshan.
You've suffered a lot.
Shanshan, you've thought too much.
The reason why they gossip about you
is not that you're an assistant.
Though I stay at home now,
I still know some gossip in the office.
Since the work is busy,
they want to reduce pressure by gossiping.
You don't know how they gossiped
about Yan Qing and me.
Was he being gossiped like this too?
Yes. It's the misfortune
of our Feng Family.
Whomever I or Feng Teng is with,
others will always talk behind our backs.
That's why he asked you to adjust to it.
Get adjusted to their gossip.
Feng Yue, if so, it's unfair for Shanshan.
Yan Qing was a celebrity on Wall Street.
He was invited to work here.
But our Shanshan
is just a small assistant.
The levels of the libel are different.
Shanshan.
Actually, I don't think
you need to feel stressed.
If you can't adjust to it,
you can resign.
Resign?
Feng Teng can raise you.
I think it will be easy for you
to make a choice
between Feng Teng and your job.
Though I'm with him,
I still want to have my own job.
I don't want to mix them up to choose.
I want to be with him,
but I still want to work.
But you can't gain them both.
It's an easy truth.
She's right.
You don't have to work so hard.
I don't have other meanings.
Well, as you're young
and lightweight for work,
I'm afraid you'll still be an assistant
at other firms.
His girlfriend is an assistant?
I'm afraid I can't support that.
Come on. Now, I have no route of retreat.
How can you say that?
Since Shanshan is Feng Teng's girlfriend,
I think many firms want to hire her.
At least she can be a manager.
Won't others gossip about it more often?
I don't think he'll allow it to happen.
You can go tell Feng Teng.
-Me?
-Yes.
I stay at home
and ask nothing about the firm.
I think you should go tell him.
Me? How can he listen to me?
At least you're a shareholder.
It doesn't mean a shareholder
needs to say anything.
Go and try it.
-What can I say?
-How can I tell him?
Forget it.
You're far from the topic.
I just want to get it off my chest.
Things are not that terrible.
I won't resign.
I'll stay and work here.
So please don't tell him
about what I said.
-Actually, I…
-Well…
My lunch hour is over.
Go ahead and chat.
I have to go back to work.
Bye!
I won't resign.
My probationary period is just over
and I'm protected by labor laws now.
It seems Feng Teng is right.
I have to get adjusted to it.
Xue Shanshan, you need to get adjusted.
You can't complain like that anymore.
580, 590.
600, 612.
"Xue Shanshan, Finance Assistant
from No. 12 Finance Department.
According to your great performance
on the job,
you'll be given an 8% pay increase.
It will be effective from next month."
Great!
They follow the rules in the end.
If the firm gives me an unusual raise
because of our relationship,
then how can I
keep on working here later on?
Shanshan, you've got the letter?
-How much did you get?
-I got 8%!
Only 8%?
Only 8%?
I thought you could get 10% at least.
So your salary grade
is the same as an assistant's?
Yes. I'm just an assistant.
Okay, stop.
We can't discuss our salaries in private.
I think Mr. Feng doesn't want her
to draw attention,
so he gave her a basic adjustment.
-Am I right?
-Sounds reasonable. I agree.
They just got together.
Why bother to arouse controversy?
Maybe she'll get a great promotion
at the end of the year.
It's fine for her to be a director.
You're right. If they're true love,
they won't care about the trifles.
What on earth should I do?
I've got what I should get,
but they still think too much.
If I had known,
I would have asked for 20%.
At least the money can make me happy.
Maybe it could make me happy.
Who can refuse to get a raise?
Heavens, why do you embarrass
a hardworking salary-woman?
Shanshan.
Could I have copies of the materials?
-I need to use them this afternoon.
-Okay.
Mr. Lian.
Shanshan, what else?
I want to say something about the raise.
The raise?
I approved it.
And the firm confirmed it.
Are there any problems?
No.
I just want to thank you for it.
To be honest,
you didn't perform well at first.
After that,
everyone here could see
your efforts and progress.
I think I should apologize to you.
As your leader,
I'm not like other section chiefs.
I didn't consider
your relationship with Mr. Feng.
I know.
But that's why I want to thank you.
It makes me feel
the sense of being approved.
So you don't need to apologize.
I should be grateful to you.
It's all your hard work.
BEEF NOODLE
What happened? Why are you so happy?
It's a good thing
to be recognized by my leader.
But you won't have a chance
to know our feelings.
I have to find a new house.
I can't live with Liuliu anymore.
Are you unhappy staying there?
No.
It's because of her boyfriend.
Their relationship is so complex.
If I still live with her,
I'm afraid I'll bring her more trouble.
You mean she lives with her boyfriend?
Yes.
But it's not the same as you think.
He has gone to Beijing for business,
so he's not in Shanghai.
That was why I went to live with her.
Why haven't you told me about it?
It's not a big deal.
Should I have said it on purpose?
Good job, Xue Shanshan.
I only have one question.
Do you think I'll allow you to sleep
on another man's bed?
Mr. Feng, you're thinking too much.
It's common to live in a cousin's home.
Does it matter?
Move to my house tomorrow.
No. How can I live with you?
How about I use my own sheet and quilts?
Or should I sleep on the sofa?
Should I make a bed on the floor?
Has your cousin married her boyfriend?
Can you stop setting
some sort of trap for me?
I know I'm wrong.
I promise I'll move out in three days.
In one day.
If you can't, then come live with me.
Fine. Deal.
Tomorrow it is.
Tomorrow is after tomorrow.
Let today pass first.
Eat up.
See you later!
Shanshan!
-Tomorrow!
-I know!
Good night. Bye.
I took a day off to register.
Heavens, please bless me
to find a suitable house.
Let me tackle it today.
It's all Feng Teng's fault.
He told me I can't sleep on a man's bed,
which made me lose sleep.
I finally fell asleep on the floor.
My back is so sore now.
Hello?
Hello. Are you Ms. Xue?
Yes. Who is it?
My surname is Jiang.
You can just call me Jiang.
Are you going to rent a house?
There's a house here
that meets your requirements.
So…
Are you kidding me?
I just left the place.
How did you know my contact number?
I saw it on the Internet.
Did I register online?
Yes.
Did I?
Did the agency
post my information online so quickly?
Did I register?
I haven't seen it before.
I think the agency should contact me.
How can the house owner call me directly?
The agency and I are on pretty good terms.
When will you be free?
Should I show you around the house?
I'm free now…
Now? So great.
I'm available too.
Should I drive you there?
Is he a liar?
Would a homeowner do so?
He must be a liar.
Liar!
Hello?
Xue Shanshan.
Have you found a house?
Feng Teng, I've just received a call.
He told me he was the house owner.
I don't know how he got my contact.
He asked me to see his house at once
and even wanted to pick me up.
Is he a liar?
Really?
I don't think so.
How about you send me his phone number?
Or shall I ask Zhang to send you there?
You're right.
Then I'll tell him
I've sent his number to my friend.
Then I'll find a security staff
in the block.
I'll let him see the staff.
Then I think he won't dare to hurt me.
I feel sorry for bothering Zhang
about such a trifle.
I'll text you.
-I'll send you his number.
-Okay.
Hello? Jiang?
I…
I'm afraid I'm already here.
It's No. 54, right?
Okay. That's it.
Fine. I'll wait for you downstairs.
A single building?
It's so upscale.
How can I rent such a house?
Ms. Xue, the design here is open-plan.
You see. The lighting
from both sides is pretty nice.
And you don't need to buy furniture.
Come with me this way.
Here's the kitchen.
Ms. Xue?
Here's our kitchen.
You can cook some simple meals here.
Isn't it a nice thing to have
such a delicate and charming house
in the downtown area?
Though it's small,
it has all the necessary components.
And it's close to the firm!
Then I can save a lot of time and fee!
Sir, how large is the house?
It's about 60 m².
I think it's enough for a young woman.
How much is it per month?
Four…
About 2,500 yuan!
It's 2,500 yuan.
Come on.
Isn't it too low for the house here?
Good things are not cheap.
It must be a fraud.
For safety's sake,
may I see the certificate of the house?
Well, it's not mine.
It belongs to a foreign friend of mine.
Yesterday, he called me
to rent the house as much as I like.
So I don't have the certificate.
How about this?
If you don't believe me,
you can live before paying.
What?
You can live here first.
Pay me after you move here.
Can it be real?
HOUSE RENTAL AGREEMEN
The house is well lit!
It's full of sunlight.
And the furniture is all new.
It's so perfect.
The price is so nice.
As his friend has said so,
I feel embarrassed to refuse to rent it.
Can you come to help me move after work?
Bye!
What else do I need to do later?
Nothing else.
Fine. I need a driver.
Mr. Feng, are you going
to leave work early today?
Yes. I'm moving.
The landlord keeps the house spotless.
I think I don't need to clean it today.
It seems I can walk
to your apartment from here.
Then we can have breakfast together.
A morning walk for me!
Aren't I really lucky to find
such a cheap and beautiful house?
Jiang, I don't care about the rent.
You decide.
By the way,
behave naturally.
Don't be like a swindler.
Okay.
It's just like winning the lottery.
Here you are.
Shall I invite
Liuliu and Shuangyi to come?
It can be more solemn.
You can invite your cousin
and her boyfriend to dine.
You've lived there for so long.
I think I should express
my gratitude to them.
Let me treat them!
You?
Do you have money to treat them
after renting the house?
You're right.
Fine. Then it's your treat.
Speaking of it,
I don't have money for dinner today.
What about inviting me
to a dinner in passing?
It depends on you.
Please!
Fine. What do you want?
You decide.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Are you Xue Shanshan
from the Finance Department?
Yes, I am.
Are we…
Are we colleagues?
I'm Huang Yu from R&D Department.
I've met you several times in the firm.
Did you forget it?
No…
You're Huang Yu…
Do you live here?
I've just moved here.
Do you live here too?
No. I live in the block ahead.
Well, we're neighbors.
Let's take care of each other later on.
Then I'm going to work now.
-Fine.
-Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Have you heard of it?
Mr. Yan's secretary, Shirley,
was fired because of her.
Really?
After Valentine's Day,
Mr. Feng drives her to commute.
How long haven't you updated your news?
This morning, Huang Yu from R&D
saw her move into a new house.
She has already had a house,
so is it a big deal to send her?
-Really?
-Yes!
She looks quite normal.
Is there anything wrong with the boss?
Or did she bewitch him?
So is it useful for us to powder here?
Pack up ourselves and go back to work.
He gave her a house.
I think they'll be over soon.
Girls are greedy. They always want more.
That's right.
I think beautiful girls should be
satisfied after gaining something.
I agree.
If she can marry him,
things will be different.
The most horrible thing
is not the challenge in front of us.
The challenges can be overcome,
but it's hard for us
to avoid the rumors spreading out
by strangers who know nothing
about the truth.
Feng Teng told me to adjust to it.
But it's so terrible for me.
I thought I was ready for it.
I thought I was full of courage.
But while I'm facing these challenges,
can I fight my way out only by myself?
What did you eat for lunch?
Box lunch at the staff canteen.
The fish
is really tasty.
Have more.
Our love is based on meal after meal.
It's hard-earned.
VIP CARD
Leaving that noisy office
filled with rumors
and coming back to his quiet apartment,
we can stay with each other
like normal couples.
I enjoy being like this.
Though such life is not full of surprises,
sometimes, even plain,
it's still a comfortable way for me.
I like being with him like this.
But I don't know what he thinks of me.
I'll beat you!
Try harder!
I win!
You're so nice!
Come on, babe. Let's cheer!
-Cheers!
-Congratulations!
You're pretty good.
Help me this round.
Fine. But you can play yourself.
Feng Teng.
Can I cook for you?
Then we don't need to hire a cook.
You don't like his meals?
I don't mean that.
I just want to cook for you myself.
Can you cook?
