Boss & Me (2014) s01e23 Episode Script

1
You're good, Xue Shanshan.
Can you explain to me how our conversation
has shifted to your career plan?
Can't we?
Feng Teng,
there are many differences between us
in terms of appearance
and family background.
I can't change it.
So I will work hard in my career.
I know I won't be the best person,
but I'll be the best I can be.
Although I can't be
the most suitable one for you,
I will let myself
become the best version of myself
to match up with you.
I'm home.
Actually, I've made another decision.
I'll tell you tomorrow.
What is it?
-It's lunchtime!
-It's lunchtime!
What will we eat?
Maybe braised meatballs?
-Why is it always braised meatballs?
-Really.
-I think it's yummy.
-My favorite!
Why not bouilli?
Shanshan, let's eat together. Come on.
I'm not going. Off you go.
I'll eat somewhere else.
Why?
You brought your lunch today.
Where will you go?
This seems to be Shanshan's
-first public meal with the boss.
-Yes.
Maybe their relationship
is moving forward.
That's probably true.
Maybe she will be Mrs. Feng
and I will be her best friend.
You'll get too fat by drinking this.
You don't get it. It's low-fat.
The choice of beauties.
-Let's go.
-Come on.
-Don't spill it! Take it slow!
-Let's go.
Mei, Linda.
Is Mr. Feng here?
Yes, but do you want me
to inform him first?
No, I'll go in myself.
Can I come here to have my lunch?
It's as I expected.
Welcome.
I can't believe she just walked in
without an appointment.
She didn't get rejected!
She is Xue Shanshan.
That's right.
She hasn't come for lunch for a long time.
Mr. Feng was in a bad mood because of it.
Now that she comes here as she did before,
Mr. Feng should be so happy.
Let's have a happy lunch too.
All right.
You know what?
I've heard that Xue Shanshan
took her lunch
and went upstairs for a meal.
How long has the love ban been lifted?
Is it wise to be so blatant?
At the last board meeting,
she got drunk and said
that she's Mr. Feng's girlfriend.
Mr. Feng didn't deny it.
That's already the evidence.
That's so romantic.
Mr. Feng is such a high-profile lover,
then my boyfriend
has no reason to lay low.
-Our company is so effective!
-Exactly.
It only took a few hours
for everyone to know this.
-That's right.
-Of course.
They always get the most attention.
-Yes.
-That's right.
Staff from other departments
are pressing us for first-hand news.
It's said Xue Shanshan ate
on the 22nd floor again.
Has Xue Shanshan gone downstairs?
I'm curious about their dishes.
Stupid! That's not the point.
The point is what Xue Shanshan
is doing in Mr. Feng's office.
Has my computer been attacked
by a Trojan virus?
Zheng Qi, five years ago in Seattle…
Yes,
I visited some relatives with my parents.
What's wrong?
Five years ago in Seattle,
there was a popular international app
similar to Life Energy.
Did you know about it?
No, I didn't.
I went there not to work,
but to visit relatives.
I didn't bother to care about it.
Yan Qing,
don't interrogate me like a judge, okay?
It's the other party's evidence.
He just wants to figure it out.
No kidding.
If it has an international version
which can be seen worldwide,
why must it be in Seattle?
This is flimsy evidence.
Zheng Qi, don't be impulsive.
Don't say so again.
All right.
Now that they want money,
they must be well-prepared.
It's not only you,
but your entire team
is also under investigation.
Anger can't solve the problem.
So?
So should I admit it?
Feng Teng, listen.
If you want me
to negotiate with them unwittingly,
I refuse.
Do you want to play or not?
I'm not in the mood.
Get to the point.
Did you really come to play with me?
Psych yourself up.
If you still can't give counterevidence,
we may bring about a settlement.
I told you I didn't plagiarize.
How can we reconcile?
Of course I know that.
But it's not up to me, you know.
So are you here today
to persuade me to reconcile with them?
Zheng Qi,
Bina's intention to blackmail us
is very obvious,
which is seen by all in our circle.
I don't think reconciliation
will do you any harm.
Feng Teng,
I'm not only the creative director,
but I'm also a man of morals.
This is questioning my morality.
Fuerte is about to launch cell phones.
The board of directors of Wind Group wants
to settle the case as soon as possible.
I see.
Compared with the new season's cell phones
and sales of billions of yuan,
my morality is nothing.
You know that's not the case.
But you have no choice.
All right, I know what you mean.
You can go now.
I hope you'll come around soon.
-Hello?
-Shanshan.
Eat with me tonight.
I told you I'd begin to take
the CPA tutorial class tonight.
So you mean you can't eat with me.
Yes.
I'll hang up.
-I'm late, bye.
-Hold on.
What's up?
Wait for me.
At least let me drive you there.
Here we are.
We're here so soon?
You're so hardworking.
Thank you for driving me here.
By the way,
this is the timetable for each class.
Then you won't forget it.
You have so many classes.
You need to work on weekdays,
have classes after work,
and don't rest on weekends.
When will you eat with me?
I must improve with more classes
because I'm poorly qualified.
Besides, don't we usually
have lunch together?
All right, we can eat together anytime.
After I'm certified,
I can eat with you
whenever you want, okay?
No more talking. I'll be late.
Feng Teng,
aren't you stoning on your own feet?
Bye.
You must be new here.
This is my card.
I'm Yu Minlong. You may call me Minlong.
Minlong.
How should I address you?
I'm Xue Shanshan, but I don't have a card.
Shanshan.
How lovely!
Shanshan,
I registered just a bit earlier than you.
Many people in our class
have taken some other classes
and have taken CPA exams many times.
They have their own circles.
What about sitting with me
from now on as my partner?
Okay.
Shanshan, where do you work?
I work at Wind Group.
Wind Group? It's a large company.
How were you recruited?
You're really something.
Nothing,
I just handed in my resume
and did interviews.
You're so modest.
Working in such a big company,
your resume must be great.
Are you from Shanghai?
No, I'm from Hunan.
I came to Shanghai
for a job in Wind Group.
I just saw you get off from a sports car.
Was it you?
Yes.
Is he your boyfriend?
He must be somebody
if he has a sports car.
That's not the case.
My boyfriend sells used cars.
That car is secondhand.
It's not a big deal.
Everyone, let's begin our class.
Open your book.
Here is today's topic.
What is NNP?
What are NR and PR?
Look at him with two big flashing eyes.
He's so cute.
He is as whip-smart as you.
That's it.
If Ms. Lishu likes babies so much,
she can deliver one of her own.
But she has broken up with Mr. Zheng Qi,
so she can't have one for now.
Yueyue, don't be such a busybody.
It's none of your business.
What's more, it's not bad for them
to have a peaceful breakup
and become friends again.
Yes.
But Zheng Qi is wrapped up
in something else now.
You mean the patent infringement?
How is it going?
Is Zheng Qi sure to make it?
He's still busy working
with the lawyer, Mr. Li.
He just called me to get
all the documents
for the investment in Life Energy.
He seems to want to fight
against Bina to the very end.
Perhaps they got something on Zheng Qi
or Zheng Qi was too careless.
Listen, never ask him about this
or he'll fall out with you.
In my opinion,
Bina wants money,
while Wind Group is in the spotlight.
In fact, Zheng Qi is not the target,
but he can't see it through.
He insists on fighting against them.
Let alone Feng Teng,
the whole board is in a dilemma.
Fish farming in clear water is hard.
Zheng Qi is too stubborn in this aspect.
Smile.
I know the CPA exam is hard.
Shocked by the two-day tutorial classes
during the weekend,
I knew this fact much better.
However, to be better,
I can't give up halfway.
I finished a test paper,
most of which I don't understand.
Feng Teng should know.
Shanshan, are you here for lunch?
And something important.
Is there anything
more important than eating to Shanshan?
Xue Shanshan, you made me wait for you
for 3 minutes and 27 seconds.
So what?
So eat more for lunch.
You can eat first.
I still have a few questions to answer.
I want to finish them first.
You're letting me eat first?
Yes, then you can answer
my questions after lunch.
Xue Shanshan.
I'm your boyfriend, not a CPA tutor, okay?
I'm fighting for both of our futures.
Won't you help me?
I will.
Linda,
give me a list of colleagues
who have passed the CPA exam later.
All right, thank you.
I'll find more people
to tutor you during lunch.
Can you eat now?
Yes, sir.
Is what you snatch from me quite yummy?
Xue Shanshan.
There are black beans in my box.
Pick them out for me.
Didn't I tell you not to let the cook
add black beans?
Pick them out yourself.
Thank you so much, both of you.
-You're welcome.
-You're welcome.
Bye, Mr. Feng.
I'm too tired.
That Mr. Li is so brilliant.
He explained it so clearly
that I understood all at once.
And Mr. Cai wasn't blocked by any problem.
It's said he's the youngest
finance director
in our group's history.
No wonder.
He's really something.
I should get back to work.
I'm exhausted.
I don't have a class tonight.
Let's have dinner together.
I don't have a class tonight. Eat with me.
No problem,
my blockhead.
Bye.
Linda.
Yes.
Shanshan, what's wrong?
-I'll be milked dry.
-Yes.
I'll hang up.
Why haven't those two tutors come?
What's so strange about it?
They have their own work to do after all.
I can teach you instead.
Come on.
This question.
It's related to the domestic tax law.
I majored in finance and economics.
I still have to work on
the domestic tax law.
Any other questions?
Let me digest it first.
Then I'll give you a complete answer.
Xue Shanshan,
you should know I'm the youngest boss
in our group's history, right?
I finally know why Mr. Li and Mr. Cai
are too busy to tutor me.
Let me work on it myself.
And I'm the best boss.
Go ahead.
Concentrate on your meal.
-Just one question left.
-Eat first.
You've been taking classes
for three months.
Is there any progress?
It's too difficult.
I can't understand most of it
and ranked low in tests.
Just drop the class
and study on your own.
That won't do.
I can't even understand what I was taught.
How can I study on my own?
TAX LAW
Must you be certified within this year?
Yes, it's a must
and as soon as possible.
Then I'll be more worthy of you.
But I don't care.
But I do.
Don't worry.
I'm not afraid of hardship.
However hard it is, I'll hold on.
Trust me.
Let's eat.
-Mr. Feng.
-Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng.
-It has been a long time.
-Mr. Feng.
Manhay, hi.
-Mr. Feng.
-Mr. Feng.
-Hi, Feng Teng.
-It has been a long time.
Zheng Qi,
Karen has many law firms
in both China and the US,
and she has won a number of cases.
Karen, just assure me of success.
Don't let Bina take a penny from us.
Well, I know.
I've long heard that there are
two eligible bachelors in Wind Group.
You do deserve the name.
All right, I'll count on you to help him.
Okay.
Nice to meet you.
Xue Shanshan.
How can you get lost at my home?
Follow me.
Hi, Feng Teng.
Hello.
This is Bai Jun, my close family friend.
This is Mrs. Bai,
a business administration graduate
from Stanford University.
She has all the certificates
you can imagine,
including CPA, ACCA, and CERM.
Shanshan, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Now I know that the banquet is held
with too many intentions.
Lishu, please sit.
Okay.
Please excuse me.
Go ahead.
Come in.
Why are you here?
I want to see if you're fine.
At this juncture,
how can you be in the mood
to care about me?
You know it.
All right,
I've had a hard time recently
and wanted to find someone to talk to.
You should understand how I feel now.
As a creator,
the most unbearable thing
is being wronged.
I know. I believe you.
So do Yan Qing, Feng Teng,
and all the staff in your group.
But Feng Teng told me
to be psyched up for reconciliation.
Reconciling
is no different than being insulted.
I think your way of thinking
isn't that fair to Feng Teng.
He's not only your friend,
but he's also the boss of the group.
He has to weigh the pros and cons, right?
Besides, it's the first time
your group has entered the US market.
It's not a trivial matter.
If you reconcile in the end,
I think it's for the sake of business.
If people search on Baidu later,
the new product jointly launched
by Wind Group and Fuerte
will be recorded in history.
And there will be
a blot of plagiarism on my reputation.
Who cares if the blot is real
or for business sake?
What's more,
another worry is that
if we get a reconciliation,
patent trolls worldwide will know
how shortsighted Wind Group is
about immediate interests,
and they may bombard us with charges.
I'm not sure if it's good
for the long-term development
of Wind Group.
Zheng Qi,
it's Feng Teng's business, not yours.
I believe Feng Teng has been trained
by his grandpa since childhood.
He'll never let that happen.
You mean
you're still confident in Feng Teng
and think he's right
even at the cost of my reputation?
-Hello, Jason.
-Hi, Feng Teng.
-It has been a long time.
-Yes.
Let me introduce her.
This is my girlfriend, Xue Shanshan.
This is my senior, Jason,
from my faculty at Yale.
-Nice to meet you.
-I guess you know her.
Ms. Zou Shishi.
Shanshan, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
I met my idol.
Zou Shishi isn't a graduate
from a noted university,
and has no certificate.
She's a supermodel.
Her face and figure are her certificates.
In what aspect is a supermodel
better than you?
At least she's more beautiful
and slimmer than me.
That sounds right.
How annoying!
He doesn't have a way with words.
Xue Shanshan,
how can you associate me with the exam?
Are you applying for a job?
Well, I have something to tell you.
I saw a post online the other day,
saying that a man strove
for the better future of two people,
while his girlfriend complained
that he didn't accompany her
and asked for a breakup.
As a result,
netizens all replied
that his girlfriend wasn't considerate.
You have no time to eat
with your boyfriend,
but you have time to read posts online.
I read it by chance.
Don't sidetrack me.
I mean similarly,
if a woman strives
for the future of two people,
but her boyfriend complains
about her lack of time to accompany him,
don't you think
her boyfriend is inconsiderate as well?
For our future?
Fine.
Work hard
for our future.
Thank you.
Unexpectedly, my future
lies in a tutor's hands.
I'll live on your salary.
Don't worry.
Bina didn't specify
the date of filing the suit,
but they requested three million dollars
for reconciliation.
It indicates what they want is money,
but if we refuse to negotiate with them,
they'll file a suit to a federal court
two weeks before our products
are put on sale
and apply for restrictions on our sales.
Yan Qing,
are three million dollars reasonable?
According to our investigation,
in 2008, they asked Yuanxing Technology
for three million dollars,
while last year,
they asked Augustine Software
for seven million dollars.
In line with our evaluation,
the ceiling is five million dollars.
So you want to split on me
with five million dollars?
I didn't mean that.
Yan Qing,
make an appointment with Bina
this afternoon.
Mr. Li,
please cooperate with Karen
to solve this case.
Okay.
I see through the situation.
Listen up, Feng Teng.
You can't sacrifice me
while making me stay.
-Zheng Qi.
-Save your words.
I understand your choice,
but I think there's no need
for me to stay.
I'm sending in my resignation!
Zheng Qi!
Don't I even have the right to resign?
Hi, Mei, Linda.
Zheng Qi.
What's wrong?
Feng Teng,
did you quarrel with Zheng Qi?
The group needs reconciliation.
Did he mean to resign?
Did you approve it?
He's our creative director.
-A lot of software…
-Xue Shanshan.
I won't discuss work with you.
I'm sorry.
Get back to work.
Handsome Qi.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Your hand…
Let me apply it to your hand.
Thank you.
They said you're Feng Teng's best friend
and you're partners
who started a business together.
Though Feng Teng said nothing,
I believe he surely
doesn't want you to leave.
If he really didn't want me to leave,
he wouldn't make such a decision
to force me to leave.
If he agrees to compromise,
won't it be known by all
that I plagiarized?
Life Energy will be a copy.
My dad often tells me
that time reveals a man's heart.
It's fine as long as you're upright
with a clear conscience
and don't care about others' words.
Otherwise,
you'll become a pair of pants.
A pair of pants?
You have to put up
with other people's "farts."
I'm also learning
not to become a pair of pants
and not to care about others' comments
on either me
or my relationship with Feng Teng.
Shanshan,
I can relate to your suffering.
But this time, I meant to leave.
In fact,
when I agreed to help him
run his business back home,
I knew we would be like this one day.
Maybe business interests
can't coexist with friendship.
We have experienced a simple campus life.
Then I came back with Feng Teng
and went through
all these twists and turns.
Now, he dominates the group.
I'll rest assured.
This happened at such a juncture.
Our cooperation may really stop here.
Since you're friends
who went through twists and turns,
why not hold on for a bit longer?
Take a step back.
Then it will be over, right?
In many cases,
you won't understand
if you don't stand in my shoes.
I'm also too unyielding.
I can't stand being stigmatized.
Anyway, thank you, Shanshan.
Do you mean to leave?
Where are you going?
I don't know either.
I'm going back to the US.
The US?
LI BOOKSTORE
-Did Zheng Qi really say so?
-Yes.
I've never seen Zheng Qi so angry.
He seems determined to resign.
Lishu, what shall we do?
Actually, we have no reason
to make Zheng Qi stay.
Working for Wind Group
isn't the premise for him
to be our friend.
Maybe he has his personal reasons.
Lishu, how can you say so?
If Zheng Qi were to leave,
how could Feng Teng move on?
I can't imagine Feng Teng
being left alone at all
if Zheng Qi leaves for the US.
The US? Did Zheng Qi say so?
Yes.
Both his parents are in the US.
He came back here because of Feng Teng.
If he were to resign from the group,
he'd definitely choose to go to the US.
I know,
but…
I can wait for you.
But I'm telling you,
I won't wait for you for too long.
Hurry and make up your mind.
Lishu, as a friend
of both Feng Teng and Zheng Qi,
you've known them for a long time.
Besides Feng Teng, only you can help him.
Will you really let go of Handsome Qi
who may never come back?
Without your help,
I really can't imagine
who else can make Zheng Qi stay.
-Wait a second.
-What's up?
I'd better go now.
Come back.
I'm quite embarrassed after our breakup.
Will he listen to me?
Of course he will.
You're the one Zheng Qi cares about most.
He must be in a bad mood now.
Go talk to him and persuade him.
Do you want to see him leave for the US?
Lishu, give yourself a chance
and give him one as well.
I'll try my best,
but don't get your hopes up.
I will get my hopes up for sure.
Go upstairs.
