Boss & Me
Episode 10
Boss, is Ms. Feng okay?
She's fine.
That's good.
Then how do you and Ms. Feng intend to thank Miss Zhou?
Why are you asking me these things?
Never mind, I'm just... I'm just curious.
A cheque.
Why didn't you give me a cheque?!
Xue Shan Shan
Don't you know how to "use a long line to catch a big fish"? (Idiom: A long-term plan for major outcome)
What's wrong?
Open your mouth!
There's a fishbone stuck inside.
You're going to be alright.
Thank you, Doctor.
B-Big Boss
Thank you.
Since you're alright, see the doctor off.
Go!
- Doctor, this way please. - Okay, thank you.
Xue Shan Shan, you must be destined for a long life.
Even such a big fishbone couldn't choke you to death.
(Feng Teng:) Xue Shan Shan, don't you know how to "use a long line to catch a big fish"?
Shan Shan, have you decided what you're going to wear tomorrow?
Wear what for what?
Have you gone stupid from working too much overtime?
The company's Annual Gala is tomorrow!
Surely, you didn't forget about it, did you?
- You're right! - I've already decided on a lace mini-dress with spaghetti straps.
Tomorrow, I must be the woman of unparalleled beauty!
- Spaghetti straps?! Wouldn't you be cold? - I'm certainly not worried about cold.
I'm more worried that there will be other girls tomorrow who are even less afraid of cold than me! (i.e. wearing more revealing dresses)
I just wish that I'll win the biggest prize in the lucky draw tomorrow.
I heard that last year's top prize was a car!
The prizes are that good?!
I'd like to thank my dad and my mom for giving me this life and this rare "Panda Blood" (AB-Rh Negative blood-type).
I'd also like to express my gratitude to Feng Teng company for giving me such a huge prize.
Thank you, everyone! And thank you, all my colleagues, for taking good care of me.
Don't get too excited just yet!
You need to meet the minimum-years-of-service requirement to enter the lucky draw.
- You haven't even completed one year of service yet. - Minimum-years-of-service requirement?!
Come on, you shouldn't be thinking about the lucky draw!
Finally, we get a chance to dress up. Surely, you are well-prepared for the occasion, right?
Of course, I am!
Of course, I am not prepared!
Picking vegetables every day... I don't even have time to pick flowers!
Who in my situation would be in the mood to care about dressing up?
So I'll be attending this year's Annual Gala solely to enjoy the good food.
So Shan Shan, what are you going to wear?
I ...
I'll just... I'll just wear something. Anything should be fine, right?
At every formal event such as this Annual Gala, why must all of us girls dress so skimpily?
Wearing dresses that show off our arms and legs so that guys can take a look... That's so unfair!
Then why don't guys wear short-sleeved shirts and short pants to these formal events so that we can take a look?
Girls look beautiful in revealing clothes.
When guys wear revealing clothes, they just look obscene, don't they?
- You can't possibly attend a dance wearing sportswear. - There will be dancing as well?!
It seems, I'll have to escape immediately after eating.
Of course!
At the Gala, "Miss Elegance" will be chosen from everyone in attendance,
and she'll receive a cash prize of 10,000 yuan!
If the contest is for "Miss Biggest Appetite" or "Miss Fastest Coriander-Picking",
then I might have a chance to win.
Even though all of us girls from the Finance Department usually dress quite simply,
since we'll be competing with girls from other departments, we must not allow ourselves to be the most plain-looking!
These two will definitely be keeping our Finance Department's tradition of dressing plainly.
There's also Zhou Xiao Wei, right?
That's right! It seems like our department can only depend on Xiao Wei.
We can talk about it later, I'm not in the mood right now.
Shan Shan, you must make sure that you're dressed up beautifully tomorrow.
You don't want someone else to be chosen as the Boss's dance partner for the first dance, do you?
What...? What first dance?
"Miss Elegance" will get the first dance with the Boss!
See? See?
I knew it wouldn't be easy to get the 10,000 yuan prize.
But it turns out to be even tougher than I thought.
Dancing with the Boss...
Wouldn't it be like holding a tiger's paw and performing a death-defying act?
What if I make a misstep during the dance? That will be like stepping on the tiger's tail.
Oh God!
And just like that, my good life will be ruined!
Did this dress feel this tight before?
I really must not underestimate the calories in the packed lunches.
The tightness shouldn't hinder my eating, right?
You guys are so beautiful!
Shan Shan!
Come here.
- Let me help you put this on. - What is this?
This is...
Every lady who enters the Gala hall must wear a wrist corsage like this.
Every corsage has a number tag on it.
Later on, when all the men here vote for "Miss Elegance", they will be using the numbers on these tags.
So, wear it properly at all times, okay?
- You must wear it, alright? - Alright.
Did you all miss me?
This is my favourite!
I need to deal with you first.
- Hi, Shan Shan. - Hi, hi.
Hello, everyone!
This year's banquet is as grand and luxurious as always.
On this joyous occasion, let us all welcome the founder of our Feng Teng Group, our Boss, Mr. Feng Teng!
On this day of our Feng Teng Group's Annual Gala, I took a look around the hall just now.
Everyone is dressed up so beautifully.
I hope you won't be disappointed by the food and wine we have prepared for you tonight.
The Annual Gala is the best occasion for the company to express appreciation for your hard work during the year.
My grandfather once said:
"As long as there is wind (fēng), it will bring hope to our side.
As long as we have hope rising (téng) in our heart, we will succeed."
And you all have made these two words (fēng téng) even more meaningful.
Your intelligence and competence will bring this company to new heights, just like the wind!
Just a word of thanks from me can't be enough, so to express my sincerity, I've prepared bonuses for you all.
I hope that I'll be able to give you even bigger bonuses next year!
Which one shall I eat?
Miss Xue!
- General Manager Yan - Miss Xue, I've been looking for you.
My wife and I are truly in your debt, we really don't even know how to properly express our gratitude.
General Manager Yan, it's okay, you're welcome, it's nothing.
Last time, Yue Yue's accident happened while I was away on a business trip.
If you had not helped us out again, our whole family would've had to live with lifelong regrets.
Accident?
He must be referring to Ms. Feng Yue's miscarriage, right?
But that can't be right, it's Zhou Xiao Wei who donated blood this time.
Yue Yue is still in the hospital now. Once she's fully recovered, we'll find a way to properly thank you.
The thing is... Manager Yan, there might have been a misunderstanding...
Yan Qing
Andy is looking for you.
So it's decided, okay? We'll give you a proper thank-you sometime soon. You guys stay and chat.
- See you. - Bye.
Boss, Manager Yan seems be have misunderstood.
- The one who donated blood for Ms. Feng Yue this time is ... - There are a lot of situations in life where it's better to let a mistake remain as a mistake.
From now on, no matter what he says, don't contradict him.
Why?
What is Boss trying to say? It will be like taking credit for someone else's work.
Besides, "Panda Blood" is so precious, I would feel so guilty about it.
I said what I said because I have my own long-term plans.
But I can't be bothered to explain them to you.
Even if I tell you my plans, would you understand?
Again, he's using the "you won't understand" routine on me.
If you don't want to tell me, just don't tell me. What's the big deal?
Anyway, I won't be the one lying.
At most, I am just an accomplice in your lie, a very unwilling accomplice.
Then, Boss, I've got to go and find Ah Mei.
Hold on.
You stay here and be my buddy for "shelter from toasts". (a person who prevents someone else from getting drunk by drinking on their behalf)
Be your "shelter from toasts"?
Did I misheard what he said? Isn't it supposed to be done by a guy?
Is Boss actually going to make me, a tiny woman, act as his "shelter from toasts"?
Is there a problem?
Be careful, I can still deduct your year-end bonus.
Okay.
Where's your wrist corsage?
Lost it.
Put this on.
I don't need it, Boss. It doesn't matter whether I wear it, I won't win anyway.
Boss, I really don't need this, I'm not going to win.
When you win, we'll divide the cash prize: 90% for me, 10% for you.
Why else do you think I'm dragging you along to be my "shelter from toasts"?
- Boss, a toast to you. - Here, let me.
- Oh, okay. - I'll drink first as a show of respect.
- Boss, a toast to you. - Yes, a toast to CEO Feng. - Let me.
I'll drink first as a show of respect to both of you.
♫ Sometimes you wonder ♫
Cheers!
♫ What if you could rewrite the moment ♫
♫ Sometimes you figure out ♫
- What about me? ♫ There's another ♫
♫ luck in imperfection ♫
♫ Sometimes you've been hurt ♫
- I'll drink this, okay? - Sure. ♫ Then you learn to think about and feel more ♫
♫ Sometimes you've been bored ♫
♫ With the life you hate ♫
- Come on, bottoms up! ♫ Always be amazed ♫
♫ Always take a risk ♫
♫ Always keep the pace in a lifetime game ♫
Done! Hey, why didn't you finish your drink?!
♫ 1, 2, 3, 4 ♫
- We need another bottle here. ♫ 5, 6 ♫
♫ Life is rolling the dice, babe ♫
♫ You cannot imagine what would happen ♫
- Come, a toast to you. ♫ In a second ♫
♫ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ♫
The next award to be presented is the most eagerly awaited and most exciting award for all the ladies here tonight.
It is "Miss Elegance" award.
I would like to invite Director Zheng to announce the winner of the award.
Miss Elegance award of Feng Teng Group's 25th Annual Gala goes to ...
And the winner is ...
Zhou Xiao Wei!
Boss Feng, you dance quite well.
You dance very well yourself.
By the way, I got the cheque that you sent back.
You really don't have to be so modest.
I'm not being modest. It was not at all an act of modesty.
I was just expecting a little more from you.
Oh my heart, please stop beating so fast! This can't be happening!
How can I be feeling jealous?
I must be drunk, that's why my imagination is running wild like this.
I can't answer! I can't, I can't! ...
Hello?
Where are you?
I... I'm at the entrance.
You seem to be an expert in running all over the place.
Wait for me there, I'll be right out.
Wait, wait, wait, ...
I can't escape him anyway. If I have to die, it's better to die happy.
Can you please bring my coat out with you?
Thank you.
Thank you, Big Boss.
What on earth are you doing out here?
I'm going home.
I'll send you home.
There's no need, there's no need, I don't want to bother you!
No, no, there's no need, you don't need to go through that much trouble for me.
I can get myself home, really!
Speak up.
The other day, General Manager Yan told me that Ms. Feng didn't go to Europe.
So what?
He actually has the nerve to ask me "So what?"!
Boss seems totally indifferent about being caught in a lie.
Then, why did you tell me that Ms. Feng was in Europe?
- Did I say that? - You did! Of course, you did!
Then you should just take it as a slip of the tongue.
Boss, can you be any more shameless?
But then, maybe it really was just a slip of the tongue.
Otherwise, why would Boss lie to me?
It definitely can't be because he wanted me to continue having lunch together with him, right?
That's impossible.
You might have misunderstood what you saw during the dance just now, but you shouldn't.
It will not change anything between us.
He feels the need to explain this to me... to make sure that I don't misunderstand the situation...
Could it be that he ... ?
Then... may I...
May I misunderstand that you have feelings for me?
Sometimes, a bit of misunderstanding is not a bad thing.
But you... you...
You never told me this.
Isn't the pursuer supposed to say the words first?
What does that mean?
Is Boss trying to say that I made the first move to pursue him?
I pursued you?
Didn't you?
No, I didn't.
Then who sent me these pictures and text messages?
I certainly don't like you.
And that's because you are so childish.
What?
The worst you can do is to fire me! I'm not afraid of you.
And if you fire me for this, it will just prove that you're even more childish.
♫ Love is a promise in the wind ♫
♫ The promise made is eternal ♫
♫ Will never be broken ♫
♫ When I gaze into your eyes ♫
♫ Can you see that ♫
♫ Happiness has always been quietly keeping watch by your side? ♫
♫ I made a promise to you ♫
- I'm not going to fire you. ♫ This love has no time limit ♫
♫ Will never be broken ♫
♫ Let me gently kiss your face ♫
♫ To leave you with the most beautiful moments ♫
♫ I love you, and wish to keep watch by your side ♫
We're here.
Thank you.
Shan Shan
I have two questions for you.
Why did you come to my office every day?
And why did you join me for lunch every day?
Was that all because I ordered you to do so?
If my order is really an imperial decree to you, then you've just become a traitor.
I hope that you'll carefully think it through.
Good night.
This is bad, I drank too much last night.
It couldn't have been real.
It was just an illusion, definitely an illusion.
Young lady!
Hello, Auntie.
It was your boyfriend who sent you home last night, wasn't it?
Quite a distinguished-looking man, so tall and handsome!
Seems very proper!
He even owns a car.
He must be very rich, right?
You are very lucky, really very lucky.
So it really happened.
I'm doomed! It really happened!
Help!
Shuang Yi
Go shopping with me.
Why were you standing there? You scared me to death!
Wait, wait, wait, ... ! Are you insane?!
Why on earth would you go shopping so early in the morning?!
I've got a lot of manuscripts to edit. I can't come with you.
Shuang Yi!
The deadline is tomorrow!
The thing is...
Say what you have to say.
Okay then, finish your work first. I'll tell you about it when you have time.
Xue Shan Shan!
Can you please stop wasting my time? If you have something to ask, just go ahead and ask, alright?
I can't stand this kind of thing!
Shuang Yi
If an exceptionally perfect and powerful guy confesses his feelings for a very ordinary girl, what should she do?
If that happened in my novel, then the girl should accept his confession right away!
Then the author can keep the story short and complete it before deadline.
After that, the author can go and have fun, have a good meal and go shopping!
What if it's not fiction? What if it's happening in real life?
In real life?
If it's in real life, she should treat it like a cheque that has fallen out of the sky... Pick it up right away!
But after picking it up, she should touch it as much as she wants, and look at it as much as she wants.
And then, throw it away.
Why?
You little fool!
Such a cheque is a bad cheque. (word play: "bad cheque" = "empty promise")
In other words, you won't be able to cash it.
You're right.
It really feels as if I've just picked up a bad cheque.
Xue Shan Shan, you are just a pig, please don't fall in love with that wolf!
A pig falling in love with a wolf... This is good!
I must write that down.
This is good, this is good ...
Although I've never been in love,
I have two experts by my side: a romance novel writer and a friend who is going through a difficult love-life of her own.
I once had a roommate who said to me:
"When you find yourself a boyfriend, make sure he's someone you can relate to, someone you can understand.
Otherwise, no matter how good he seems to be, think twice before getting into a relationship with him."
In other words, I must find a man that I'm sure about, not someone who is like a riddle to me.
If Boss is a riddle that I can't solve on my own, then maybe I should go and ask someone who can?
No, it won't work.
Li Shu and Boss are very close friends.
What if she betrays my trust and tells him all about my girly emotions?
Then next time I see Boss, I'll be so embarrassed.
Just forget it.

Lady boss, here's the money!
What's going on? You suddenly asked me out to eat noodles with you. Is something bothering you?
- Someone confessed his feelings for me. - Who was it?
Feng Teng.
The Big Boss?!
My goodness!
Then you accepted his confession?
No, no, no.
I flatly rejected him in a straightforward way: "I don't like you."
Shan Shan
You really are a woman of virtue.
How am I a woman of virtue?
I said what I said because I was so drunk.
But I've been wondering... If he had told me when I was my normal self,
my response probably would have been different.
At the very least, he is our Big Boss, I should have handled it with a bit more tact.
Regretting it already?
Liu Liu, is there a drug in this world that can cure regret?
If there was such a drug, should I take it?
Shan Shan, let me tell you ...
Sometimes, the things that our elders like to say make a lot of sense.
Think about it... When two people of very different backgrounds want to be together,
there would be so much conflict between them.
They would have different lifestyles, different tastes, different values and worldviews.
So I have to urge you to carefully think it through.
Then, Liu Liu, you and You Cheng Hao ... ?
See? You're not stupid, you know what I'm trying to say.
My situation right now is the best example for you.
That's why I'm advising you to give it a lot more thought.
I didn't mean to be a wet blanket.
Someone confessing his feelings for you is of course a very happy occasion.
Especially since the confession came from such an outstanding guy.
It feels as good as winning 5 million yuan, doesn't it?
(Shuang Yi:) In real life?
If it's in real life, she should treat it like a cheque that has fallen out of the sky... Pick it up right away!
But after picking it up, she should touch it as much as she wants, and look at it as much as she wants.
And then, throw it away.
Why?
Such a cheque is a bad cheque.
But, Shan Shan, don't dream of being a Cinderella.
It's possible for a prince and a princess to be together happily ever after.
But for the prince and Cinderella, even if they end up together, it's impossible for Cinderella to become a true princess.
She will just become a servant to the prince.
Think about it, you just escaped from a tiny house to a grand palace, only to become a servant there.
You're still a servant, the only change is that your life has just become even more tiring.
So Shan Shan, you were right to reject his confession.
Reject his offer to become his Cinderella.
And become a princess of your own life.
Lunch time!
Shan Shan, time to go to Boss's office and replenish your blood!
Why do I need to replenish my blood? I have all the blood I need right now.
Let's go, I will have lunch with all of you.
For the past several days, Boss didn't ask me to have lunch in his office.
I haven't got any news at all from Linda either.
Apparently, this is how working life should be for an ordinary lowly employee like me.
But then, why do I feel as if there's something wrong with my life?
You must make sure that this figure is accurately calculated before entering it here.
Even a mistake of one decimal point here can cause a lot of damage to the company.
Please bear that in mind.
Now, Shan Shan has a few questions for you.
- Shan Shan? - Shan Shan!
You have questions, right? Ask them now.
It's about... Please take a look at this...
According to what's written here, this amount shouldn't be more than 500 yuan, right?
Not so hard! It hurts!
So what should we do?
Du Fan, you're back from work so early!
About that...
You're back. That's ... What ... ?
That's right, you should drink more, drink your fill.
- What do you want to eat? Shall I make you an omelette? - No need, no need, ...
The thing is... In the future, I may have to come here even earlier.
There is water damage to his house, the roof is leaking.
And then the landlord said, he can't be bothered about the rain and the leaking roof.
So the house cannot be repaired any time soon.
So he has nowhere to stay. We can't just let him sleep on the streets, right?
So the only option is to let him stay here for a while.
Is that okay?
Du Fan wants to move in with us?
- My living habits are very ... - Shut up, shut up, don't talk.
Never mind about him, he's not important.
- If you're not okay with this, I'll make him leave, no problem. - No, no, it's not that.
Shuang Yi, I've been wanting to tell you this but haven't had a chance to do so ...
I want to move out.
- No, no, no! - Shan Shan, don't be like that, you're making me feel bad.
- Forget it, I'll just make him leave. - No, no, it's not that! I really want to move out.
Now that I've become a permanent employee and I'm certain that I'll continue to stay in Shanghai,
I should move out.
Look at how small this house is, it can barely fit me.
- Also, we have so much stuff, everything's starting to spill out. - That's true.
You don't want me to pay you rent either, do you? And I can't continue living like this.
My darling, thank you.
And you! Starting tomorrow, help Shan Shan find a place to live, you hear me?
No problem! I'll take care of your apartment-hunting.
- Don't worry, okay? You can keep living here, no problem! - That's right, don't worry.
Stay here until you find a decent place, or until you feel like moving.
You can stay here for 3 months or half a month ...
No, not half a month... I meant, half a year. Or even a whole year, it's all fine!
I can handle him, you won't even have to see him. And you ....
- Then you guys quickly go and find a place for me, okay? - Then... Then I'll go and search online now.
Hurry up, let's go!
Such a busybody!
- Hurry, hurry, .... - Let me, let me, ...
Hurry up, hurry up. Do you know how to search? You do it, you do it.
Make sure it's not too expensive, okay? She can't afford it.
- We should ask her if this one looks okay. - This one! This one! ....
- It's pink! - Okay, okay.
Liu Liu said I should be a princess of my own life.
Unfortunately, being a princess is really hard.
Let alone living in a grand castle like in my dreams, I can't even afford a tiny nest for myself.
In this world, is there such a princess who lives in a 10-square-meter room?
Help me!
Are you guys going to let me score at all?
Why do I have to hide?
- I almost scored! - Yes, almost.
Li Shu really is the kind of woman who can compete on par with a man.
Last time, when we were cycling, she was awesome! Now, she seem quite good at basketball too.
Could it be that she and Boss are what Liu Liu called "people from the same world"?
