[Episode 27]
[People try harder to avoid pain than to seek pleasure. -Sigmund Freud]
Three, four, five.
Here I am.
Look back.
Take your time.
What is this cute little thing?
What is it?
Where did you get it?
Why are you focusing on the dog?
Take your time.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Really?
Put me down.
Wait.
Why did you get me a dog suddenly?
It's a big thing. Why didn't you tell me?
I sifted through all your Weibo posts.
You wrote during your university life
that you wished to have a dog of your own.
So I made some effort
to find you a dog queen.
Now you are cuddling it.
You may give it a name as you like.
How about calling it Duan Xiao Teng?
Didn't you just say I would decide how to name it?
But Duan Xiao Teng is a cute name, indeed.
Right?
Right? Daun Xiao Teng.
Do you like your new name?
Here you are.
This one is precious.
I can't accept it now.
But I'll just have Duan Xiao Teng.
OK.
As you like.
The wind is blowing here.
Let's get in the car.
Which direction are we heading?
It's amazing.
Gosh.
[Beauty salon]
Have we got more?
No.
I feel exhausted.
That's all?
I'll get them into the trunk.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
So much stuff.
Jeez.
Just have a rest.
I'll just tell you
that your moving out of here
is truly a wise decision.
You know?
Look at this building.
There's a beauty salon in it.
Do you have any idea
who frequents the beauty salon?
They are some girls.
What of it?
Girls go there in the daytime.
How do you know who goes there at night?
Don't be too innocent. You know?
This world is full of wicked things.
There's only you
that keeps thinking about these dirty things.
Only me thinking about dirty things?
Fine. Done with it.
Let's talk about your landlord.
Didn't he find you a man co-tenant?
You two are the only man and woman in that house.
What if he does something bad to you?
Well, I didn't know
that it was a man at the beginning.
If it were a girl,
there should be no problem for us to live together.
This house is not bad.
It's close to where I work.
But the fact is that it's not a girl.
You are just penny-wise.
Yes, you are.
So the landlord took advantage of it
and managed to trick you time and time again.
The living condition here
and all that he has done
will surely get him punished if I sue.
How can I not be penny-wise when I am so poor?
If you move to my house,
you don't need to worry about money anymore.
I can move to your house.
But let's make a deal.
The rent is 1,000 yuan per month.
I'll pay you two quarters' rent first.
Wait.
Don't do that.
It was said tongue in cheek.
You don't really need to do that.
Who do you think I am?
I don't think it was said tongue in cheek.
Duan Chong.
Let's get this straight.
Starting from the day
when I move to your house,
we will be tenant and landlord.
In order to show my respect for you,
I will call you Master Duan.
You may call me
whatever you like.
But
dismiss your dirty thoughts about me.
I said nothing dirty.
Who's the dirty one?
Hitting your landlord, huh?
I'm not at your house. Why can't I…
Hitting your landlord, huh?
Enough. Let's go on.
You said I could call you
whatever I like.
Leave it to me.
I'll handle it.
Whatever I like.
So calling you my wife is OK, right?
Then I'll call you my wife in the future.
[Imperial College]
Nice.
Duan Chong.
No.
Mr. Duan.
Master Duan.
It is said that barely rich people live in CBD,
fairly rich people in suburban villas,
and extremely rich people
in such private properties within the 2nd Ring Road.
It's great.
You never showed it.
It's just OK.
I told you a long time ago
to move in and live with me.
Who told you the outdated ideology
of not cohabiting before marriage?
What did I tell you on our way here?
I don't remember it.
Stop playing dumb.
I will pay you the rent.
It has nothing to do with cohabiting before marriage.
Is that right?
I pay you the rent on a quarterly basis.
I will also do the cleaning and prepare breakfast every day.
I hope, moving on,
we can treat each other with politeness and respect.
Teacher Xiao,
I ask my girlfriend to pay me the rent.
Am I crazy?
It's not appropriate.
I knew you got some bad ideas.
I'll just leave.
No. No. No.
No. Don't worry.
Sit down.
I can't outtalk you in this respect.
As Cheng Xu said,
I am like Sun Wu Kong, (* Lit.:a legendary figure from the Journey to the West)
traveling 108,000 li in one somersault (* Lit.: one li equals 500 meters)
and stirring up storms and waves.
I can poke a hole in the sky with my gold-banded cudgel.
But you are the Buddha, (* Lit.: The Buddha imprisoned Sun Wu Kong for 500 years)
turning your hand and sending me hurtling back down to earth.
You see,
my whole life is in your hands.
Right?
But
this big room is not even detached.
How are we going to sleep at night?
Like this.
What are you doing?
I'm telling you, Xiao Xiao.
This room will be
where our happiness starts.
What's this?
Finding a Girlfriend in Seven Days.
First, treat girls to desserts.
Chocolate is the best.
It stimulates the secretion of dopamine.
When the hippocampus reaches the climax of joy,
follow up with a fun time
in amusement parks, e-sports experience centers
or water parks.
This will bring a feast of senses
and foster happy moments.
Details can be found in Sweet Memories,
Christmas and Valentine's Day.
Well done.
It's your book?
No, it's… it's Cheng Xu's.
Shifting the blame again, right?
Let me see
what's more it has to offer.
The passion must be followed
by romantic tender care.
When staying alone…
Stop it.
It's not worth reading, right?
So all the tricks that you tried while chasing me
come from this book?
As a science graduate,
you raved about never being in a love relationship before,
but in fact, you designed countless tricks.
All the procedures during our last date
are the same as those in the book.
I shouldn't have been moved.
But I tried really hard.
So… I'm a science graduate,
you know,
inexperienced in love.
It's fair for me to learn something from books.
Right?
Although these tricks come from the book,
I elaborately designed every step of the process.
You are genuinely ungrateful.
If that's why you shouldn't have been moved,
then it is really going to break my heart.
I don't want to demand anything from you.
We staying together
can make me happy already.
You don't have to try so hard.
But I just want it that way.
Xiao Xiao.
I really want to make you happy.
Hello.
Xiao Xiao.
Where is the recent master tape?
Master tape?
I left them in the studio.
It's not there.
Why don't you come here and find it?
OK. I'll do it.
The annoying company again?
The company needs me there. I must leave.
I drive you there.
No. Don't do that.
I feel the happiest every day
when taking a bus to work.
It gives me insights into life.
You stay at home and wait for me to come back.
See you in the evening.
Tell me more.
[Finding a Girlfriend in Seven Days]
Broadly speaking,
there are two kinds of…
(The negative one and the positive one.)
You know,
I used to be an administrator,
feeling carefree and comfortable.
Now such small business
gets me dizzy.
Why are you here?
Thanks.
I heard
the company made some adjustments to its self-media.
I want to ask
if it's possible to allocate some money
to Under the Mask from our capital pool.
If there is no commercial funding,
we will have some trouble in production.
Don't believe the word on the grapevine.
Under the Mask is a very good program
and won't be canceled.
You can be assured.
Have a taste of this. It's good.
Are you available later?
Yes.
I've ordered something to eat.
Let's have a meal together.
Help me sort things out.
It's a mess.
Indeed.
How come you never mentioned Teng Xiao Xiao again?
She is OK.
The question is about you,
not her.
What's wrong with you two?
Shen Ying.
Recently, you have managed the company very well,
putting everything in order.
You must have tired yourself out.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you, Mr. Wu.
It's my due responsibility.
This plan
doesn't seem to be adventurous enough.
Mr. Wu.
Considering
that previous episodes had some negative effects,
I think
we should adjust our publicity strategy,
so I told them to make repeated adjustments.
You are not new as a planner.
You should understand popularity matters the most.
Public opinions are something we can maneuver.
Now the company's programs are in full-on development.
All we need to consider now
is how to increase nationwide popularity.
You play it too safe.
How can you meet audiences' expectations?
Are you too tired recently?
You are not in the zone.
What you proposed
is cautious and banal.
You can't go on like this.
If you feel stressed out,
I can allow you several days' off.
No need.
Hello.
Mr. Li.
How are you doing?
I have got too much on my plate recently.
My subordinates are not capable enough.
So I have to handle everything by myself.
There's no other way for me.
With stronger ability come greater responsibilities.
I remember what you asked me for.
It's… It's just
that there is something in my company.
So I have to
mind my own business first.
Then I will deal with
what you asked me for.
OK?
I'm in the middle of something.
Why don't you call me next time?
Let's keep in touch.
OK?
Fine. Goodbye.
Where are we now?
I have nothing more to say.
I will redo my paperwork
and give it back to you at night.
Shen Ying.
In my experience,
working hard is important.
But if you want to
make something of yourself in the workplace,
talent is indispensable.
Go easy on yourself.
You define your own destiny.
What the heck?
Here is our lunch.
Lu is here, too.
Why did it take so long?
Shen Ying, assigned by Qin Shao to help me,
is not capable.
She is merely useless.
She refused to take my advice.
Put it here.
OK.
I'll get the chair.
Lu.
We have known each other for a long time.
But it's the first time for us to have a meal together.
Right.
I have seen every episode
of your recent program.
I think it's genuinely good.
Although you are in charge of Under the Mask,
please don't leave "all in" aside.
You should come here more frequently
and give us some guidance.
My subordinates are
not as smart as yours.
"All in" is now becoming a sensation.
How can I give you any guidance?
Instead,
I should turn to you for some advice.
You were just flattering each other.
I should say,
that was too much.
Moving on, both of you should support each other at work.
In my eyes, Lu is not competitive at all.
I am worried that his talent is not shown.
Don't worry.
Lu Mang is biding his time.
Right?
In YO Media,
I appreciate you two the most.
Trust me.
Once opportunities arrive,
I will help you seize them.
YO Media will be reshuffled sooner or later.
This is the rule of capital development.
We only need to leverage capital
to fulfill our dreams.
Right.
I agree with Mr. Yin.
We must leverage capital to fulfill our dreams
and parlay our dreams into commercial success.
Mr. Yin.
If only we were not in the company,
we would have some drink together.
Why don't you have some fish?
Here you are.
I don't like it.
Why?
Too many fish bones.
Give it a try.
I think
your biggest problem is
that you have confined yourself mentally.
You are making it rather complicated.
You should try to break out of it.
Only by doing so
can you achieve long-term development.
Let's take this dish as an example.
You presume that there are my fish bones, right?
You can have a try.
How do you like it?
No fish bones.
So,
that's it.
I think it's the first time
that the three of us get together like this.
It's rare for us.
Yes.
Go on with your meal.
What is this?
Movie.
What are you doing?
Seeing the movie.
What's the name of the movie?
The House that Never Dies.
I knew you must have bad intentions.
Why are you seeing a horror movie?
How can you say that?
How about
we see a romantic one?
I don't want to see any movie.
Just go to sleep.
I have to work tomorrow.
What a bummer, Teacher Xiao.
Wait.
What are you doing?
Take it easy.
Don't rush.
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
Why did you collect the stuff?
I am going to sleep.
Going to sleep?
Where to sleep?
Right here.
I have walked around your house today.
This is the only place where I can sleep at.
Give it to me.
Don't move.
How can I let you sleep there?
Right?
Follow me.
Come here.
Come.
See?
From now on, you will sleep here.
I will sleep there.
No.
It is not appropriate.
I mean it.
I pay you only 1,000 yuan every month.
How can I sleep here?
What's more,
you are too tall
to sleep in such a confined space.
I'm OK with it.
You don't know.
Compared with where I used to live,
this house is a luxury.
It's true.
Though it's small,
I can rough it.
Give it to me.
Come on.
Don't move. Attention!
Attention!
Hands off me.
How about this?
If you really find it emotionally difficult,
you sleep here
and pay me 1,100 yuan every month.
Is it OK now?
One thousand and two hundred yuan.
Very generous.
Then it's a deal.
I'll leave your stuff here.
You can sort them out later.
I'll arrange the stuff by myself.
Thank you.
You may leave now.
Then I go.
Take your time.
What's wrong with you?
I'll get you up.
I'll help you stand up.
Stop it.
What were you doing?
I was just
checking your shampoo brand.
I want to buy myself a bottle.
It smells good.
Did you hurt?
Let me see.
Never mind. I'm fine.
Duan Chong.
Do you use skincare masks?
I'll put them in the fridge.
You can get them there.
You've got quite a lot of stuff in the fridge.
Put your trousers on.
You are not wearing enough down there.
You might catch a cold.
No need.
It's so hot now.
Why would I wear them?
I'll just tell you.
If you don't put them on,
I'm afraid I will lose control.
Duan Chong.
In principle,
I believe you.
But I don't believe myself.
Stand up straight.
Get serious!
-Attention. -Yes.
If you want to do that,
well,
I'll just…
I know.
You'll just leave, right?
So for the sake of our harmonious life,
you'd better put them on.
Good girl.
Fine.
Go to sleep.
Stop messing with the projector.
Just go to sleep.
You don't really want to talk anymore?
Don't… Don't peek.
[Old Boss]
Hello.
At this late hour?
Come on!
Don't play the same trick every time.
Fine. I know.
I'll be right there.
OK. I'll just hang up.
I'll be right there.
[Chat Record]
Awake?
You are so versatile.
There is a lot you have to offer.
Why are you staring at me?
It's sending chills down my spine.
You've never got such a talented roommate, right?
Never.
Did you brush your teeth and wash your face?
Good breath in the morning refreshes everybody.
How is that?
Dear baby.
Otherwise…
Men are good at flattery.
You do the breakfast tomorrow.
Let's take turns.
OK.
I'll cook for you next time.
I mean it.
Not to brag,
my culinary skills are…
Excuse me.
Hello.
I've got up. What's wrong?
I'm busy now.
I'll call you later.
What's so serious?
Where are you going?
I was having a meeting just now.
Why do you have to tell me now?
Why can't I just call you later?
Say it.
[Radiance Group][Bank of China]
The Spring Festival is coming.
You must work hard until the last day.
I tried hard to get
the last commercial theme this year.
Hopefully, you'll get more year-end bonuses.
Finnish yogurt?
This reminds me
of an online catchphrase "Jingfen Youth".
Jingfen Youth?
It refers to young Chinese people
who consider themselves to be spiritually Finnish.
It reflects their psychological state.
Secluding themselves and struggling to live.
We need to think about the products.
And this theme
concerns misery.
It is not appropriate since the Spring Festival is near.
You are right.
We can delve deeper
and focus on humanistic care,
such as the recovery of people with depression.
This direction…
This is a good one.
This is also
a prevalent
and difficult problem.
Of course, we must think about our customers.
Thinking about clients.
But it might be difficult now.
All photographers have been
tied up with "all in".
If there is no other way, I'll do it by myself.
Don't do that.
How can we let you do it?
I'll do it.
I'm itching to shoot by myself.
This is a good chance.
Can you make it?
The workload is huge.
What's there to be afraid of?
I am going to the equipment room.
I'll see if I can get something useful.
The plan is rejected. Stop it.
Baby,
are you hungry?
Mom will get you something to eat, OK?
Xiao Xiao.
What's wrong with you?
You are back.
What's wrong with you?
I'm fine. Just stomach pains.
Stomach pains?
How come you suddenly had stomach pains?
What did you eat?
Nothing.
Teng Xiao Xiao.
When I was not at home,
you treated yourself like this?
You shouldn't eat cold food.
Don't you forget
whom you belong to.
Smiling?
Why did you smile?
Listen to me, Teng Xiao Xiao.
Next time I'm not at home,
don't eat cold food.
Otherwise, I would
smash the fridge.
Don't do that.
Fridges are expensive.
You are far more important to me.
Can't you see that?
I'm already so painful.
Why do you keep criticizing me?
I was not criticizing you.
I was criticizing the fridge, OK?
The fridge is to blame.
Right.
Fine. Get dressed and we'll go to see the doctor.
No.
I've had chronic gastritis.
The diagnosis is about the same every time.
I've had some pills.
I'll be all right soon.
How about
you carrying me to my palace?
Fine.
The patient has the say.
Is it still painful?
I'm fine.
I'll be all right soon.
What are you doing?
Since your stomach is painful,
I am looking for
some solutions on the Internet.
Good girl. Don't move.
Hang in there.
It hurts.
This page shows the reflexology at the Zusanli acupoint will work.
Wait a second.
Good girl. Don't move.
My stomach is not painful now.
But my feet begin to ache.
That's the way to go.
So the pain must have moved.
Bear with it.
Good girl.
I'm begging you.
Mr. Duan. I'm begging you.
Can you just let me lie down like this?
It works
every time I feel stomach pains.
It's true.
What's the use of lying down there?
How about this?
Lie down there as you like.
I'll tell you a story.
See if you can fall asleep, OK?
Bedtime stories.
Only for married couples.
This is a good one.
The story goes like this.
Once upon a time, there was a hamster.
He had a crow as his friend.
One day,
the hamster said to the crow,
"Little crow, little crow,
the winter is coming.
You should prepare some food and get ready to hibernate."
The crow replied,
"Never mind.
I can play for another two days."
Then in the next day…
Why did I hear the same voice?
Then in the next day,
the hamster ran into the crow.
"Little crow, little crow.
One day passed,
and you are going to die of hunger."
Then the crow replied impatiently,
"Never mind. None of your business."
Then three days passed…
Duan Chong.
I want some hot water.
Duan Chong.
Playing cool even when sleeping.
Your lazy daddy is still sleeping, right?
Look. Look.
Daddy is awake.
Mr. Duan is awake now?
Do you want to have breakfast?
Why did I fall asleep?
How would I know?
It's the first time
that I've seen the one telling bedtime stories falls asleep first.
It was my fault.
No, it was not.
You just ate something bad.
What did you eat recently?
The fart that you made last night
is thunderous.
I lived with it the whole night.
Now it's even echoing in my head.
That's impossible.
Did I?
Is it smelly?
Even Duan Xiao Teng smelled it.
Xiao Teng.
Is daddy's fart smelly?
Don't ruin my image in her mind
right in front of her.
Right?
Come.
Let daddy give you a hug.
Come.
Keep your ears covered.
Stop listening to your mom.
OK?
Even if daddy farted,
it was done in an affectionate way.
Shame on you.
Do you still feel stomach pains?
I am as fit as a fiddle now.
Your reflexology yesterday was quite good.
Of course. It's my family legacy.
Did you practice it before?
This is passed down to boys only.
I reckon I've practiced it for over 20 years.
Who did you practice this on before?
Did you do it for someone else?
Who is she?
No.
I've practiced for so many years
just to do it for you.
How can I do it for someone else?
Right?
You see, I'm doing it for her now.
