[Life Plan A and B] [Episode 1]
[2008]
You've dropped something.
- What? - You dropped something.
That isn't mine.
Really?
Then do you want to see if there is any form of identification inside?
There is only a NT$500 bill inside.
Really?
Then what should we do?
Hand it in to the store employee.
Would the employee take it for himself?
Or hand it in to the police?
But the police probably won't be able to locate the owner without identification.
What do we do then?
If you lost your wallet, what would you do?
I'd search everywhere for it. I'd go back to the places I went to.
So wouldn't the owner come back to look for it?
That's right.
You should hold on to it first.
The owner might come back soon.
- Okay. - Yes.
We have two witnesses so we don't have to worry about anyone pocketing the money.
Okay.
Hello.
NT$20 in total, thank you.
- Hold on. - Okay.
Thank you.
I have one.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
That smells good.
This is a new flavor.
You know a lot about the instant noodle market.
My company produces instant noodles.
Are you serious?
Produces instant noodles?
That's cool.
That means you could eat instant noodles every day. That's awesome.
Eating instant noodles every day isn't awesome.
Then why do you eat it every day?
I didn't say I did.
No, I mean...
When I'm alone and don't know what to eat
instant noodles is the most convenient.
Based on your professional standpoint, which instant noodle flavor is the best?
That would be a matter of personal preference.
However, the key point is the cooking procedure.
Doesn't the packaging state to soak for three minutes?
Yes, it does, but it also depends on how much water you add.
Look, it says here.
You can add anything. I personally like adding a boiled egg.
You can dip it in the broth.
I see you added cheese to the broth.
- I did. - What does it taste like?
Here, try it.
- It seems to smell like baked cheese. - It does, doesn't it?
Or you can try this, the more common minced pork flavor.
Let's see.
This one is good.
- Shrimp? - Yes.
Do you want to try adding cheese?
- Allow me. - Thank you.
I... I'm leaving first.
I'm almost done.
This!
What do we do with this?
Why don't we come back to wait at the same time tomorrow?
Or should we give it to the employee--
Forget it, they'll pocket the money.
Yes.
All right, then. See you tomorrow.
Hey!
Would you ride a motorcycle?
Of course. Why?
It's so late already. I feel I have a duty to escort you home.
But my house is just the next block over. I can just walk there.
Really? All right, you should go then.
Just to be on the safe side, I'll see you off.
Bye bye.
Yes!
[Three years later]
Yes, yes.
Yes. 20 boxes each of braised beef and shrimp will be delivered tomorrow.
You'd like roadside-style dried noodles? No problem.
- I know. - 10 boxes?
Okay. See you tomorrow then.
Bye.
I'm heading over right now.
Ru Wei, Ms. Zhang wants to see you.
Speak with your conscience, won't you?
What do you mean I'm not taking it seriously?
Then how would taking it seriously be like?
Then why don't you go yourself?
Yes, that's right. Your job is a job and my job isn't a job.
Unreasonable!
Your husband?
I highly doubt whether this man
is the same one who told me 15 years ago he'd make me as happy as a princess.
All right, all right.
My mother-in-law's blood pressure rose to 190.
I have to take her to the emergency room.
The monthly report has to be submitted today.
I've already reviewed up to here. Can you please take care of the rest?
Okay, I'll get it done for you. Hurry, go.
Thank you, dear.
You're welcome. Hurry up.
Listen. Do not become like me.
That's why you should really consider the transfer to Shanghai.
- Hello, Director. - Hello, Director.
Director, this way, please.
The last room.
Ms. Zhang said in order to become a happy woman
we must remember one thing.
Don't rush toward happiness.
That kind of happiness will often disappoint you.
It's most important for women to find their own standing.
Only then will the happiness that belongs to you
head toward you.
However, Ms. Zhang's philosophy is too profound.
After three years, I still can't comprehend it.
But at least I am certain
he and I will head toward each other.
Together, we will advance toward our happiness.
Just as expected from a creative director.
The blouse and pencil skirt she was wearing
clearly had quality fabric and styling that only a designer brand would have.
She's so beautiful!
Not just beautiful; she also had a cool and gorgeous allure to her.
Her charisma and confidence are so strong.
Once she entered the office, it was as if she had her own spotlight.
I'm not even exaggerating.
All the men, young and old alike
were following her with their eyes for at least one minute.
- You're exaggerating. - I'm really not!
I also want to become a superwoman like her.
Okay, then earn your own money.
I can't afford to support that kind of wife.
What did you say? What did you say?
I only get NT$50,000 a month after working overtime to exhaustion.
You even want designer brands?
Can't I dream for a bit?
Your order, noodle soup with shredded pork and preserved vegetables.
Thank you.
- Chicken mushroom noodle soup. - Thank you.
Please enjoy.
Dreaming too much is detrimental to your physical and mental health.
Noodle soup with shredded pork and preserved vegetables? Not sick of it?
I like it, so I'm not sick of it.
Do you have to hurry back to work on blueprints?
Why?
- I want to go to the bookstore. - What for?
Our company is actively expanding.
10 people will be transferred to Shanghai at the end of the year.
The Sales Department gets a quota of two people.
The exam is on the 5th of next month. Ms. Zhang told me to give it a try.
You want to go to Shanghai?
No. I'll just give it a try.
It's a promotion. The salary is three times bigger!
Who just told me to earn my own money?
I was just telling you to stop dreaming so much.
And with Ms. Zhang and the others, you won't be selected.
It's because she can't go that she is telling me to.
Three times the salary? Why isn't Ms. Zhang going herself?
She wants to.
Her eldest son is taking high school entrance exams soon.
If it were two years earlier or later, she would be going.
Now she can only sigh and lament.
Let me see.
What happened?
I don't know either.
I probably got scratched when I was sending out shipments.
You're clearly an accounts specialist, not a laborer.
Why do you have to jump in whenever there's a shipment?
Specialist?
A specialist specializes in doing odd jobs
specializes in cleaning up messes
and is an employee that gets yelled at.
Jump in? I'd even have to jump into hell if necessary.
I don't want this.
- What about me? - What do you mean?
If you pass the exam and go off to Shanghai for work
who will eat dinner with me, watch movies with me, and chat with me?
That sounds like your girlfriend is a tool.
Let me say this first.
In a long-distance relationship, I'll probably stray.
You’d dare?
I'm being serious.
Then let's go together!
Who said they only get NT$50,000 a month after working overtime to exhaustion?
There are so many opportunities in Shanghai.
And haven't you said a lot of experts have design branches there
and there are international scale construction plans occurring every day?
Think about how much you can learn there. Let's go together!
The problem is, what about my parents?
You're only going for three to five years.
It's not like you're not coming back.
You should take the risk while they're in good health. When else would you do it?
Long-distance relationship? I will stray first.
- Then don't go. - Go together.
- Don't go! - Go together!
Don't go!
You really don't want to go?
We can talk about it after you pass.
Who is it?
Auntie Tang!
It's Ru Wei.
Come in. Are you here to see You Yan?
Yes. Hi, Uncle Tang.
Hi, Ru Wei. Have you eaten yet?
I've eaten. Uncle Tang, I passed by the bakery.
Their pineapple buns were fresh out of the oven.
I didn't manage to get any even after a long wait the other day.
He kept complaining to me.
Here, it's still warm.
- You Yan is in his room. - Okay.
He doesn't seem to be up yet.
He's still not up yet?
Tang You Yan! Why are you still sleeping?
Get up, get up.
Did you forget we're going to the temple to pray? Get up!
Hurry, get up.
Get up. Get up.
Come on.
I stayed up until 4:00 a.m. working on drawings.
- I'm so sleepy. - I know. Drink some water.
I don't want to drink water. I want to sleep.
You better get up.
Get up. If you don't, the temple will close soon. Get up quickly.
Why are we going to the temple? Don't bother me. Let me sleep.
Don't pull up the covers.
Hurry, get up. Get up, get up!
We won't make it in time to pray. Hurry and wake up.
Get up!
Quickly!
Quickly! There's no more time!
Quickly, quickly. Get up.
Stop messing around! Stop it!
Your parents are outside. Don't mess around.
The God of Culture and Literature?
What do you pray to him for?
You don't know the God of Culture and Literature?
Culture and Literature, for writing essays and successful exams.
I'll be taking a written exam soon.
What did you think I came here for?
Then if someone is searching for a job, which god should they pray to?
Who is searching for a job?
Why are you being so secretive?
Tang You Yan!
It's nothing.
It's just that I'd have a change of heart in a long-distance relationship.
What are you saying?
I sent my portfolio to a few firms in Shanghai.
And?
Zaha Hadid's Shanghai firm told me to come in for an interview.
- Really? - Quiet down!
So you better do well on your exam. Got that?
We're going to Shanghai?
We're going to Shanghai!
- Lower your voice. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Lower your voice.
We're going to Shanghai.
Ms. Zhang.
I brought the samples. I'll put them in the meeting room.
Okay, okay, good.
- Have they been released in Kaohsiung? - Yes.
Hey.
Didn't he go to Shanghai for an interview? How did it go?
I don't know either.
I heard the exam results will be out tomorrow.
I know. I'm also really nervous.
Didn't you do fine?
I answered every question, but I don't know if they were correct.
I'm so nervous that I have a stomachache.
Hello? How did it go?
Tang You Yan, why are you holding back on me? Hurry and tell me!
I knew it! I knew it!
I'm so happy!
Do you still have a lot of work left?
I might have to stay up all night.
- Eat dinner first. - Okay.
I'm going to check my results now.
The results were released today. I'm so nervous.
I have to pass. I have to pass.
It's not good?
Can you comfort me?
Actually, staying in Taiwan is also an opportunity.
Yes.
When our manager retires, Ms. Zhang is promoted to manager
and He Chao Wei becomes supervisor, I'll be team leader.
And when Ms. Zhang retires
and He Chao Wei is promoted to manager
I'll be supervisor.
After working 20 years, I'll be able to have a monthly salary of NT$40,000.
Maybe He Chao Wei will quit.
Changes are hard to predict.
Yes, I'd have to wait at least 10 years.
The significance of life isn't determined by salary.
Then what is it determined by?
Creating the next generation.
Let's have three kids.
You don't want that? How about 30?
I had thought my life could be a bit less common.
Just a little bit would have been fine.
A career that's a bit successful
a lifestyle that is a bit more splendid
and a life that makes people just a bit envious.
Like the creative director?
Forget it. Me?
Hey, let me tell you.
I won't marry a devil in Prada.
She isn't.
How do you know?
After hearing you talk about her the other day, I looked her up on Google.
She's still not married at 45?
That kind of person must be
too strong-willed, too capable, and too difficult.
A man wouldn't dare to marry that kind of woman.
Yes, ordinary has its own appeal.
I super love ordinary. Ordinary is realistic.
That's what you're saying now.
After you get to Shanghai and make a name for yourself
your standards will be higher.
Then you will feel that I won't be good enough for you.
Why would I go to Shanghai?
What?
You're not going. Why would I go?
I'm not going.
Or did you want to take the chance to stray?
Stop joking. You're not going?
Zaha Hadid! A master!
Master? All masters are crazy.
Her works are all too unrealistic.
You're lying. You clearly like her a lot.
I do like her a lot, but I'd like to live a healthy life even more.
I heard you have to
be prepared for a mental and physical breakdown to work for her.
What are you doing?
You will regret it if you don't go!
No, it's such a shame!
Not being able to eat dinner with you would be a shame.
Tang You Yan.
Here!
Tang You Yan!
What?
Tang You Yan!
I know you, you love me!
Why are you so good to me?
Who would I be good to, if not you?
We can buy a place closer to the outskirts of Taipei.
Public transportation is so convenient anyway.
Wait a bit longer.
When I'm 35, we'll get married
and then we'll buy our own house!
I will design it to be warm and unique.
Then we'll be able to eat breakfast and dinner together every day
and have children!
We'll be very happy!
We'll definitely be!
[Please report to the conference room at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow for an interview.]
Ms. Zhang.
Why is Human Resources telling me to go to an interview tomorrow?
My exam results ranked in the fifties.
Your exam results weren't high
but I heard besides receiving high marks from me and Manager
the factory and others down there have given you the highest ones too.
Really?
Goodness, how could--
How could this be? Ms. Zhang!
Thank you, thank you!
Manager! Thank you, thank you!
I'm sorry, I forgot to knock. I'm sorry!
Isn't the air quality in Shanghai very bad?
That's Beijing.
Does the air in Beijing not blow over to Shanghai?
And I heard the Shanghai dialect is hard to understand!
- What is there to be afraid of? - Dinner's ready.
Young people should go out and take risks.
And the two of them are going together.
They can rely on each other.
Don't be afraid. This is great.
We'll be the only ones left at home. What's great about that?
It's not good to confine the children at home.
As parents, we should know when to let go.
Let them go out into the world.
What if something happens to me? Shanghai is very far!
You're always like this.
Don't let the children worry.
I'm right here. What are you worried about?
I'm afraid we'll be staring at each other all day.
Then won't I have headaches every day?
Mama Tang.
Listen to me.
With this, you won't have to worry about staring at each other.
We can talk on this and see each other.
- What is this? - An iPad.
I'll show you how to use it.
This is a tablet computer.
Press this small button to power it on.
After it's on, swipe to enter.
Select this blue one.
This is Ru Wei and this is me.
Okay, let's call Ru Wei now.
After you click that, it will try to connect.
Okay, now it's waiting for me to pick up, right?
Right?
Do you see me?
Yes, yes!
- Do you see me? - Yes, I can see you.
- Look at the camera here. - Look here.
This is better than the phone. You can see the person with this.
Isn't that right? Ru Wei already set it up for you.
So you two can call us whenever you want.
But please refrain from calling when I'm at work.
Don't worry, I'll make sure your mom isn't long-winded.
Uncle Tang, I also downloaded games like chess.
That's good!
- Ru Wei downloaded many games for you. - How do I play?
Here, I'll teach you.
Select this.
Drink, drink!
Good!
Why don't you two get married first before going?
I say you should make some money first before going.
That's right.
No, he likes to do things according to a schedule.
So in his life plan schedule, he gets married at 35.
Yes, Tang You Yan really likes schedules.
Yesterday morning, our boss asked him to go to the construction site.
What did he say to the boss?
"Can't we go in the afternoon?"
"I scheduled my site visit in the afternoon."
You're so arrogant!
That's not arrogance! I'm just planning my day so it won't be a mess.
My schedule is created after a logical analysis.
For example, the other day, I could have been drawing in the morning
while waiting for new hardware to be delivered from the manufacturer.
When I do my site inspection in the afternoon
I could take the hardware with me for a test installation.
See? Wouldn't that be getting the job done with less work?
Otherwise, I'd have to make two trips. What a waste of my time.
You can make rational analyses on construction sites
but there are so many surprises in life.
How can you continue being rational?
Do you even have a schedule for what age you fall in love or break up?
Even astrology isn't that accurate.
There's logic that can give you an approximation.
- How? - Teach us.
All right. For example, if you want to get married at 35
then you'd have to be dating for three to four years before that.
So if you're still single at 30
you'd have to open up your eyes and look around carefully
to see if there's anybody around you that you might fancy.
So calculating?
What's the use in just being calculating?
You need to depend on your brain to create opportunities.
And how did you create an opportunity to get Ru Wei to fall for you?
Yes, how did you?
- Where did it happen? - Speak!
A convenience store.
How did it happen in a convenience store?
You're too impressive!
That's why you have to use your brain!
You've dropped something.
- What? - You dropped something.
That isn't mine.
There is only a NT$500 bill inside.
- Really? - Goodness!
A NT$500 bill, super scheming, convenience store
romantic instant noodles love!
That's so romantic.
Tang You Yan, who knew you'd be so sly?
How so?
It was only from a gathering with his classmates a few days ago
that I found out I was actually scammed.
What do you mean you were scammed?
Finding out the girl you like is so kind-hearted is so perfect!
Perfect, your ass!
I was waiting every day for someone who didn't exist.
One time, he was working late and he had me waiting by myself.
Tang You Yan, you used such a low trick! You're terrible!
Ms. Zhang, I can't marry this kind of man, right?
Not necessarily.
There's a crucial point to this.
It is whether You Yan was too arbitrary.
He arbitrarily came across a girl and made a move?
Or is Ru Wei so beautiful that
Tang You Yan decided he had to have her from the first second he saw her?
There is a big difference between the two. So...
Speak carefully.
All right, actually...
- What are you laughing at? - What are you laughing at?
I'm not laughing at you.
Actually, there's another story that precedes this one.
What? How come you have so many hidden stories?
Why don't I know my own story?
That's right.
It's that...
- Hurry up! - Tell us.
There's a window in our firm's pantry that looks out to the convenience store.
Almost every day at around the same time, I saw a girl eating instant noodles.
In the beginning, I thought she was strange.
Isn't it frustrating to eat instant noodles every day?
Could she have some mental issues?
But it didn't seem like it.
Anyway, I'd go to the pantry to take a look every day at that hour.
Later on, I seem to have been moved by her persistence.
I'd often eat with her.
You could say she ate with me.
Separated by a large distance...
there are two people eating dinner together.
It's a fascinating feeling.
There's just a feeling of being touched, all by yourself.
Then I realized
Instant Noodle Girl is quite cute.
So...
So you decided to make such a low move?
Don't you find it romantic?
I ate dinner with you for a whole month!
It's super touching, all right?
That's super slow, all right?
You should have dropped your wallet earlier.
You made me eat two extra weeks of instant noodles.
I'm sorry!
When we get to Shanghai, you're punished by making dinner for me every day.
Okay! Not just dinner. I'll make breakfast for you too.
I'm so happy! We're really going to Shanghai!
Yes!
So this room has to be cleaned up so it can be a study room for the kids.
All of these things have to be cleared out.
Look through everything and see what you want to keep.
Ru Wei, I'm sorry.
Not at all. I'll take a look around.
I'm going to cut some fruit.
Drink some tea.
Thank you, Third Uncle.
From now on, everything will be in your hands.
What Eldest Uncle means is that Ru Wei lost her parents at a young age.
But she was always a good and obedient child.
Because of that, we've treated her and cherished her like our own daughter.
Ru Wei, Grandfather is awake!
Okay!
Eldest Uncle means to thank you.
No, I should be thanking you.
Thank you for handing Ru Wei to me.
Here, have some fruit.
Thank you, Third Auntie.
Brothers, have some fruit.
Grandfather!
You're so funny.
You can't let him have a home run.
Why are you saying this?
Listen to me.
Okay, okay.
You can't do that if you live together.
Grandfather, don't worry. He won't.
- You have to listen to me. - I will.
- Place the offerings. - Okay.
Take out the fruit first.
- Do I take out the joss paper too? - Yes.
This is too much. This is enough.
Here.
Dad, Mom, I brought You Yan to see you.
You Yan brought you really delicious pineapple buns from Taipei.
Eat them quickly.
I miss you.
Do you have two NT$10 coins?
Yes.
Good.
One more time.
That's strange.
Dad, Mom, why won't you let me go?
I forgot to tell you Tang You Yan is going too, so don't worry.
What did Grandfather say to you?
Let go!
He said we can live together
but I can only let you get to third base.
How does he know that slang?
That's really what he meant?
What did you tell him then?
Of course I told him we didn't do anything. Come on.
Hey! Why did you ruin my reputation?
Of course you had to tell him Tang You Yan got to home plate.
He's the amazing batter who always makes home runs.
Okay, okay!
Who are you calling?
Grandfather.
Hello, Grandfather? Grandfather!
Give that back!
You were really calling him!
Home plate! Home plate!
I dropped my bag.
Hey.
I've thought about it.
After we get to Shanghai, we can save NT$150,000 a month
and still have NT$60,000 left for living expenses.
We can live comfortably and realistically.
And I can even buy a Prada bag every month.
How materialistic.
You're not happy about your girlfriend becoming more beautiful?
So it's to make me look good?
Save NT$150,00 a month? How much is that a year?
NT$1.8 million.
NT$1.8 million?
In addition to annual bonuses...
Wow, in three to four years, we'll have enough for a down payment.
And then...
We can come back to buy our own house.
We can open our own firm!
After you give birth to our kids, my mom can probably help us raise them.
Then you can focus on helping me with business.
In another five years, we could move to an even bigger house.
Perfect! Everything is going to be okay.
You're so funny.
It's okay because you say so?
Of course! How else would it be?
Are there no mishaps in life?
What mishaps?
As long as we have a goal, we just have to move toward it.
We're going to Shanghai, Zheng Ru Wei!
Hello?
- I didn't hit him. - I saw it was you!
- Mom! Mom! - You Yan!
You Yan, it's him! It's him!
Where are you going?
- How did you hit him? - Is this your son?
I'm her son! What do you want?
- Listen, calm down. - No!
I didn't hit him.
- You didn't hit him? - I braked.
If you stopped, would he be in surgery?
He fell by himself!
- Tell me right now! - Where are the police?
- Tell the nurse. - I did. She's right here.
Bear with it for a bit.
It hurts so much.
Bear with it a bit.
Uncle Tang's health has always been quite good.
Who knew one fall would end up being so disastrous?
Older people really can't take a fall.
One fall and all underlying conditions surface.
From the sound of it, it'll take over half a month for him to fully recover.
So what now? You'll go to Shanghai first?
I don't know either.
He's in such a terrible mood and Uncle Tang's condition isn't stable yet.
I don't dare bring this up to him.
You can't stall any longer. Isn't your flight on Saturday?
Doesn't he have a younger sister?
She's married in the United States.
Why did it have to happen at this time?
Please, don't let Tang You Yan's future be sacrificed.
Look at me.
Learn from my mistake.
If I hadn't married so early and got tied down by family
I wouldn't be like this.
You can only watch as wonderful opportunities pass you by.
And do you know what the worst thing is?
The people who benefit won't appreciate you.
They'll still complain about you. You work so hard just to earn so little.
The household isn't managed well and the kids aren't taught well.
It's as if I'm incompetent at everything.
They can pick at anything.
That's why sacrificing yourself might not be helpful.
Uncle Tang, you want some water?
Here.
Are you feeling better?
It hurts. My body hurts. My wounds hurt even more.
Both my legs are weak.
Uncle Tang, it's only been a week since your surgery.
Don't rush things. Let your body slowly recover.
It hurt the whole night.
You Yan didn't get any sleep.
I'm sorry. I've burdened you two.
You smoke?
I smoke a bit when I'm troubled.
I bought food. Why don't we eat over there?
Sure.
Here.
Just say what you want to say.
What did the doctor say?
Stay for observation and recovery. What else could be said?
I've postponed your flight to Shanghai.
So do I head over there first?
Up to you.
I'll take care of all the food and living arrangements.
You can start work immediately after you arrive.
- Or I'll help you send an email to-- - I won't be going.
Why?
Can you be more practical?
Don't...
Don't be so naive, will you?
Do you think with my dad's condition, I can just leave my mom here by herself?
He might be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
With my mom's health, how can she take care of him?
What about your sister then?
Why are you the only one responsible for your parents?
She's in America.
She's now somebody's wife.
What?
Do you want me to be irresponsible and pass my parents around like a ball?
That's not what I mean.
What I mean is we can split the cost of a caretaker with your sister.
After Uncle Tang is discharged, we can apply for a foreign worker
who can take care of him and Auntie Tang.
You want them to spend their days with a foreign worker
while we go off to Shanghai?
I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Then what about me?
Nobody can make that decision for you.
I don't want to be a hindrance to you.
Happy birthday.
I'm not happy at all... without you.
I'm sorry.
I forgive you.
Including how you were mean to me today.
I won't do that again.
Answer a question for me, please?
Okay.
You have to answer honestly.
Okay.
If you were me
what would you choose?
Actually, you don't love me as much as you think.
How so? I love you a lot.
If you really did love me a lot
you wouldn't have to choose between going to Shanghai or not.
Go. Go become the Zheng Ru Wei you want to be.
I will give you my blessing.
Go. Go become the Zheng Ru Wei you want to be.
I will give you my blessing.
You're not going. Why would I go?
I'm not going.
Zaha Hadid! A master!
Master? All masters are crazy.
No, that's such a shame.
Not being able to eat dinner with you would be a shame.
In the end, he said
"Not being able to eat dinner with you would be a shame."
So I really can't selfishly abandon him.
I should be by his side at this time, just like how he stays by my side.
That's what true love is, right?
Dear, you won't like to hear what I'm about to say to you.
But I still have to say it.
All things go wrong for a poor couple.
He burdens you, you burden him. That's not the way to go. Truly.
One day, you two will resent each other.
Have you forgotten what I once said?
Forced happiness will disappoint you.
But he must really need me right now.
If I'm not with him, what will he do?
Doesn't loving each other mean accepting and staying with each other?
Okay, I understand. I get it.
Love is everything to you two right now.
You want to compromise and sacrifice everything for him.
I know. I can understand.
I'm sure the company can also understand
but I don't think they can accept it.
Have you thought about it?
If you make such a sudden decision, the company's entire plan will be ruined.
Moreover, the one who is sick isn't your dad or your grandfather.
You are not related by blood. You have no proper title.
How will the company view you?
Do you think they will still entrust important tasks to you in the future?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
[My name is Tang You Yan. Want to have dinner with me?]
Hey.
I found the wallet.
You're really good at planning.
There was even a Plan B on the NT$500 bill.
So...
- In your life plan, our future - Don't go.
must also have a Plan A and Plan B.
Where are you going? Let's go watch a movie.
- No! - Didn't you want to see a movie?
- No. - Why not?
- All right, don't be mad. - I don't want to go!
I was working late.
In those two different plans
I'm going home.
what would be the different outcomes?
- Move. - If you want to go home, I'll take you.
I can give you a ride if you want to go home. Why are you taking a taxi?
Is my motorcycle not good enough for you?
If we can't stay close to each other's side the entire way...
then will we still be able to rely on our understanding of each other
and arrive at the same destination?
Over here!
Zheng Ru Wei, look at me!
I'll give you a ride!
Drive carefully!
What?
Zheng Ru Wei, I'll give you a ride!
Hurry and get off!
Stop laughing!
Zheng Ru Wei, I love you!
- Zheng Ru Wei, I love you! - Okay!
Stop at the side.
I really, really want to know the answer before making this decision.
Unfortunately, that is just my wishful thinking.
On life's exam
everybody must scramble to write down the one and only choice.
[Send]
I'm sorry.
I have always been selfish, willful, and shameless.
I was depending on you always giving in to me.
So just let me be stubborn one last time.
It's almost time to go.
I want to make a bet.
I'm betting on Plan A.
Zheng Ru Wei!
I knew it! I knew it!
Zheng Ru Wei!
I knew it! I knew it!
Take good care of yourself.
I will take care of myself. Hurry to Shanghai to eat dinner with me.
Because I know
you will forgive me.
I'm really sorry.
I just can't bear to part with him.
What are you standing there for? Come and eat.
I can't bear for him to eat dinner alone.
I'm telling you, you will regret it.
Since I've made my decision, I can't regret it.
I must not regret it.
I cannot regret it.
Although it is just my life's Plan B
I must carry it out perfectly, with happiness, and with meaning.
I must not lose to Plan A.
[Five years later]
Zheng Ru Wei, what are you doing?
What do you mean what am I doing?
- Why haven't you picked up Zai Zai yet? - I was just about to--
The preschool called Mom and said Zai Zai has a fever.
Don't you know Mom is busy enough taking care of Dad?
Can't you do any proper business?
What do you mean "do proper business"?
I'm going to pick up Zai Zai in a bit.
What time is it now? What are you fussing around doing every day?
I'm buying pineapple buns for you guys. Is that fussing around?
Our kid has a fever. What are you doing buying pineapple buns?
Don't you know your priorities?
I didn't know. Why didn't the teacher call me?
Zai Zai, Zai Zai.
Here, sit up.
I made juice for you. Drink it yourself, okay?
I'm going to cook fish.
Drink it by yourself. Good boy. I'll take you to see the doctor later.
Who is it?
Ru Wei, hurry and come downstairs to help your father.
He doesn't have the energy to climb the stairs.
- But I'm cooking-- - Hurry up!
Okay, Mom, I'll tell You Shan to go downstairs. Wait a second.
You Shan?
You Shan.
Please go downstairs to help Dad up. I'm cooking fish.
Okay.
Let me change clothes first.
But--
Then help me keep an eye on the fish. I'll go downstairs.
Be careful.
This is pathetic.
It's fine. Take it slowly.
Be careful.
Can you do it? Want to rest first?
- It's fine. - I'm pathetic.
You Shan, did you keep an eye--
Zai Zai, why are you sleeping here?
Your mom didn't take you to see the doctor?
- Hello, we've been here before. - Okay.
You're so brave.
You didn't cry, right?
Let's go home now. Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
I'll sit in the back.
Come on, Zai Zai, let's get in.
- What did the doctor say? - It's the flu.
- How high is the fever? - 39.2 degrees Celsius.
I told you yesterday not to let him have ice cream.
This car is parked so terribly.
Are you looking for a parking spot?
Oh, yes.
You can have mine.
From the back, she looks like how you used to look.
I also want to become a superwoman like her.
Thanks!
I really, really want to know the answer before making this decision.
Unfortunately, that is just my wishful thinking.
On life's exam
everybody must scramble to write down the one and only choice.
[Previews]
[I choose Plan A.]
Our General Manager doesn’t have an assistant or a secretary.
He does everything himself.
The Baidu post is a secret only you and I know.
I'm really tired. I can't talk anymore.
Our lives must not lose to Plan A.
I saw Tang You Yan with a woman.
Why bother?
Why let yourself be thrown away?
Of course not! They're not married yet!
Tell him you want to break up.
You're the one dumping him.
It'll be easier to recover from a breakup like that.
