Τo find a job, maintain your cool.
Τhe process is: lnterview, breakdown.
More interviews, and more breakdowns!
Ah......Yes...... That's me
Sorry, which company are you with?
English major.
Why did you leave your previous position?
Sales this month are low,
especially your department.
What happened?
It's complicated.
You should all learn from Lala.
Ah.
You'll find a more serious work ethic.
Lala
Well done. Have you heard...
You said it was for of internal reasons
lt's because l have a dream job
Manny!
I got the job!

I got the job!
Yeah!l got it!

Happen now.
Yeah, it's me. Let's talk.
Yesterday's report, l need more details.
Okay. First of all...
Oh.
No.
3 o'clock, okay.
Τhe water pipes are leaking
The living room lights need to be fixed.
Do you want to go back first or should I?
Everything is slowly falling apart.
Τhis just got fixed, but now it's broken again.
But I have big plans today.
Τoday, l might...
l might be able to...
Hey...
Steady the top.
Sir
Now what's happening?
Sorry. Τhe service elevator is broken today.
Broken.
Slowly.
How long will it take?
It's gonna still take a while.
You
You okay?
Yeah. Fine.
lt's fine. It's fine.
Welcome to DB. My name's Maggie.
Today we'll give you all an orientation.
Do you know what an "orientation" is?
Orientation means training for new employees
to help you better understand DΒ
and settle into your work comfortably.
At this point, l'll introduce a few
commonly used work items.
These cards are very important.
Τhis first one is your ID card
with your name and photo
to help your co-workers recognize you.
Τhis is your entrance card,
very important.
Without it, you can't go to the restroom.
Τhis meal card is a company benefit.
You can have meals at work.
Τhese are our rules and regulations.
You can find them all here.
DΒ is a world-wide Fortune 500 Company.
Everything we do is SOP.
That means "standard operating procedures."
For example,
when a DΒ employee walks down the street,
first lift your right foot, then your left.
Each step must be higher,
each step must be longer.
Everything can be found in SOP.
DB's benefits are very generous:
A regular salary, plus five
kinds of health care benefits,
double salary at year end, 10 paid days off,
and 12 days paid sick leave.
DB is a U.S. company
that values efficiency and innovation.
At the same time, you can also see...
Excuse me?
Maggie, our meeting's been changed to 1 :30.
When you're done here. Can you go tell them?
Sure. Wait a minute Rose.
We're still training the new employees
Let me introduce,
Τhis is Rose, Assistant Manager of Personnel.
Please welcome her to say a few words!
Hello.
Congratulations and welcome to your
three month probationary period, during
which we'll be watching your performance.
l said it last month,
and I'll say it again.
You forgot?
Or you didn't do it?
Can you finish it today?
All right.
Really?
What kind of girl does David like?
Ah.
Sorry, sorry.
Can l get you a paper towel?
It's fine, it's fine.
No really, it's fine.
Did anything get on you?
lt's all over the floor.
Are you new?
Yes.
I'm new to the Administration department.
What are you just standing there for?
Get out.
What are you looking at?
If l leave, you won't get my position.
Helen's got quite a temper.
Be careful not to cross her.
She might be your boss's wife some day.
Heh.
l'd like to see that.
Easy on the oil. You'll get fat.
If l leave, you won't get my position.
I'm just saying be careful.
Can I just eat my french fries?
Oh, Lala.
Come here, come here.
Hi.
Τhank you.
Lala, sorry about last time
l didn't mean to single you out.
I can't stand some people's insincerity.
No problem.
I need to tell you:
that boss
is an obsessive-compulsive workaholic.
He seems nice,
but is incapable of speaking nicely.
Everything sounds like cursing.
l get nervous every time I see him.
It's a tough life.
Oh, look.
Here he comes.
He's so arrogant.
So handsome.
Look.
Afternoon. Excellent.
David, we're going to pick get some food.
Help me get mine.
Sushi, good.
Ok, I'll go first.
Don't forget to discuss that thing
about the meeting.
ln this company,
the most arrogant guy is the Sales Director.
When a gust of wind huffs,
everyone says he must be nearby.
Ivan
Amy
and
Τhomas
Thomas, too?
Okay...
Thomas, too.
l know.
Go get yourself something to eat.
Okay, okay.
Hello, I'm Wang Wei from the Sales department.
Hello.
Are you a new employee?
Um, hello.
My name is Du Lala.
Du Lala.
Some things are best not repeated.
Welcome to DB.
Lala,
what did he say to you?
Uh..
nothing.
Do you know each other?
No.
By the way,
Τhis company, has different personnel levels.
People below managers are lower class.
Τhat means they're poor,
making less than 4000.
The managers are middle class,
they have their own cars,
and an annual salary of over 200,000.
Directors are upper class.
Τheir annual salaries are over 500,000.
Τhe older ones take their vacations abroad.
Τhe younger ones, trying to get ahead,
torture themselves to succeed.
Τhe chairman makes more than a million a year.
Typical upper crust.
What does it mean to be rich?
That's what it means to be rich.
And me?
Me...
Some things you can never do at DB:
One, never touch the company's money;
Two,
never touch a co-worker,
male or female.
If an office romance is discovered,
one of them will be asked to leave.
Ok, let's go shopping.
What do you think is my best color?
How about this one?
No Office Romance
Management says they can never find you.
Τhat leak has is now all over the floor.
You didn't fix it.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
You can't go back sooner?
Oh, l can't.
No, you said you'd handle it yourself.
l said l'd be late.
So what now?
I can't do it.
l'm still in the middle of something.
I don't have time.
l'm also in the middle of something.
So who's going to deal with it?
Please don't fight at work.
Who's arguing with you?
I'll take care of it.
Fortune 500 DΒ ambitiously enters the China market
I'll take one.
Τhank you.
I told you to get a cab. Now look.
Let's take the rest of that soup home.
You know what?
That'll feed the three of us for a week.
Day one, carrots. Day two, cabbage.
Day three...
We'll turn into sheep!
Your sister will outlive you.
Exactly.
Uh.
I thought your new job would change things.
But still, it's just one pot of soup per week.
Check this out Manny. lt's hilarious.
Let me see. l'm collecting jokes.
You guys are boring.
You're boring.
Ah.
1 Year Later
Stop thinking if you've already decided.
Are you okay?
l can take care of myself.
So...
pick up your stuff. l'll help you.
Hey, Howard.
You looking for me?
Yes.
Sit down please!
I've got great news
DB's Global CEO will visit our China office.
This shows the importance of our operations.
Τhat's great!
It's fantastic.
The good news is...
We're going to renovate the whole place.
l need you to delay your retirement. Oversee it.
So it's like that...
Yes. lt's very important.
Ok.
Τhank you.
Excuse me. Your coffee.
Thanks.
Eva, help me find who did this.
Contact administration.
Find out who made this. lt's very good,
very detailed.
It reminds me of what we stand for.
You must find out for me. Okay?
Ok, no problem. l'll let you know in an hour.
Τhank you.
lf there's anything else, just hollar.
Τhank you.
hi
"Don't cry for me, Argentina,
the truth is I never"
It's midnight. What the hell are you doing?
What?
Why are you making so much noise?
Oh, it's you. You scared me.
You scare me all the time.
ls your stomach better?
It's fine.
Why don't you take the elevator?
I'm working out.
I sit in the office all day.
l need more exercise.
Using the stairs is a great way to exercise.
And it's free.
And you?
l never take elevators.
Oh.
I know why.
You're claustrophobic.
My mom is too.
She's also afraid of public spaces,
so she moved to the beach.
It's no big deal.
When my mom's sick, she tells everyone,
so they'll give her space.
When l was young, I was in a school play.
I had one task during the whole show:
to tap the triangle once.
I didn't want my parents to come see me,
but they still showed up
and they were proud of me...
l forwarded you a great joke.
Okay, okay.
A small simple part, but still a part.
Just like the designer of this brochure.
Just a regular employee.
When will you be promoted manager?
You're doing the manager's job
And no credit. I feel bad for you.
Please allow me to introduce
Du Lala.
Please come to the stage, Lala.
You deserve this.
Thanks, everyone.
It's nothing, really.
Howard's pressuring us on the renovation.
Work plan, budget,
moving schedule, procedures.
When can you get those to me?
Lester
What's up.
We need to talk.
ls it about the promotion?
Actually, I haven't been well lately.
l'm going in for a minor operation.
What?
ls it serious?
Not too bad.
Do you need help?
No.
Is it urgent?
The doctor said the sooner the better.
Rose,
the company needs you now.
l've been looking for a chance to promote you,
and that chance has finally come.
It's a unique opportunity Rose.
Don't miss out on this.
An operation.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
I just wonder how long he'll overlook by me.
Until he retires, probably.
His stocks and pension
are worth millions of dollars.
Βut if he makes one little mistake,
he'll lose it all.
It has nothing to do with me.
What does that have to do with my promotion?
I should be promoted.
Right.
Everyone can see that.
Right.
I've worked in this position for years.
Don't worry too much.
You...
Sooner or later, you'll be promoted.
Not the stupid "sooner or later" excuse.
I've heard it for too many years. l hate it!
Look at it from a different perspective.
How could things be improved?
For example...
Hey, hey, hey!
Have I done anything that wasn't good enough?
Okay.
Forget it.
What haven't l done?
I didn't mean that.
Yes, you did.
l didn't mean it.
l can't help it. Τhis is who I am.
Forget it. It's me.
l deserve this.
I can't communicate with you.
Forget it. We broke up.
Never mind that.
This has nothing to do with that.
Good thing we never got married.
Otherwise, one of us would have gone mad.
Hey, Rose.
Anything wrong with my price quote?
I've checked it several times.
Τhe quote is fine.
Headquarters thinks the price is too high.
They cut it from 7 million
to 5 million.
No way.
Every cent in this quote matters.
Τhis server is finished serving.
And our new office will be even bigger.
I can't guarantee it'll get done with this quote.
I know it's a huge challenge for you.
l trust you Rose.
You can do it
Stella,
Τhe moving schedule isn't done yet.
Sometime in your lifetime please.
Give me a minute. l'll finish it now.
Rose,
These moving companies have fair prices.
Choose one.
lt's a small thing. Can't you do it yourself?
How can l choose from your list?
You... Consider each company's
advantages, disadvantages, reputation, risk.
Analyze them and bring me the final decision.
Don't give me these unprocessed files.
You want me to do your job?
Are you going to split your salary with me?
No?
Don't waste my time.
When scolded by your boss, it's ok!
Learn to distinguish his/her needs
and what decisions require your full completion.
What?
Τhree months rest recommended.
We don't have much time.
You all know what happened to Rose.
Τhe problem now is finding someone
who can finish what she's started?
Maggie?
How about you?
What? Me?
Wow. I'd be honored.
Βut you know, l'm doing administration
for every department.
I'm afraid it'll slow down the renovation.
Wenhua? What about you?
l wouldn't have any problem with that.
Βut perhaps we should find
someone permanent, management-level.
Moving on to the price quote.
Anyone have ideas?
Actually,
I think we can do it.
We'll stick to the original quotation.
l.Τ. says we need new servers
We'll have to pinch pennies.
Recycle and renew, for example.
lt's not a big deal.
Electrical and mechanical costs are the highest.
Perhaps we can save on managers' offices.
For that,
we'll need every department's cooperation.
Are you sure about this?
l ran a renovation at my former company,
it was just a small project,
but we did it in the most economical way.
l think we can borrow some ideas.
l'll make a report for you.
Ok.
Τhat's all we can do for now.
Lala,
help Maggie with the renovation.
Sure.
No problem.
Is this Lala crazy or what?
Now's no time for such ambition.
Exactly.
She'll load up the ship, then toss you over.
Why did Rose leave?
Τhis job is terrible.
Brings bad luck for all who've taken it.
Maggie.
What's the matter?
The fax machine is confusing.
l used to sit next to the window
I'm no receptionist. What is all this?
Can you hurry up?
Too confusing.
l'll set it up later, okay?
Maggie,
Where are the l.Τ. guys?
He said we could get online at the new place.
lt's an emergency and l can't get online!
I know, I know. Don't worry.
So slow!
One thing at a time, okay?
l'll do it for you later.
Are you okay?
lt's nothing. No problem.
Oh my...
You see the a mess you've got us into Lala?
l'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Can you handle this job or not?
We'll fix it soon. Don't worry.
What do you want? Can't you see Lala's busy?
Lala.
What?
Listen, can you put in a phone line?
Howard's going crazy over there.
Someone call him
They want to play online poker after work.
lt's a mess.
Okay, l'll be right there. Don't worry.
Come on. Τhis isn't easy for Lala.
lt's nothing.
Lala, Lala, Lala.
You're still here?
There's a huge fight in the Sales department.
Don't move it. Don't move it. Don't move it
You don't know where it goes.
Your attitude is becoming a problem.
Attitude? What kind of attitude do you want?
Hey you...
David, l'm telling you I won't let them move.
He insisted, and it's disturbing everyone.
I can't control them.
Τhank God you're here.
The clients are waiting to see our new plan.
l know.
You don't have time to argue here?
I know, I know.
Who asked you here? Go find them.
Lala, what's going on here?
Mr. Wang.
You guys already signed off on the moving notice.
Right.
But we have a battle with a client today.
That's right.
So there won't be enough people.
lt's ok.
Isn't this a moving company?
Just pack everything yourselves.
Write down your names and departments.
We're packing.
Τhis is what they're paying you to decide?
Sales is moving.
Let's help the company save some money.
Our department only has four people.
Other departments are packing themselves.
Are we just another department?
Others are others. Sales is sales.
Weren't you trained before you took this job?
Lala,
you're overstepping your authority.
It's just...
Who do you think you are?
You're too arrogant.
What are we paying you for?
l can help with packing.
They're going to work anyway.
Stop right there.
Wang Wei.
The whole company is moving together.
Stich to your almighty own business and stop trying to interfere.
You want to pack yourself, right?
That's your problem.
I don't have any problem.
But,
I'm giving you 30 minutes.
After half an hour,
if you're still not packed,
this stuff all goes in the trash.
Until then,
don't blame me for not warning you.
Move.
Hey, Lala
David
How do I do this?
Move.
Let's move.
Come get me in a half an hour.
Huh?
Don't just stand there.
Let's move.
Okay, okay.
Move it, move it.
Don't worry! Fight the good fight!
Awful.
Τhanks for your hard work.
lt's nothing.
I'm off work.
I just got off work.
Waiting for you.
About the other day
l'm so sorry
I..
I was...
lt's ok.
You work so hard. But for what?
It's my job, isn't it?
"Fight the good fight."
Must every sentence be a slogan?
No.
l just feel,
hard work can bring success.
Laziness never accomplishes anything.
Don't get mad at me for saying this...
Then don't say it.
You think you can do it all on your own?
You need to learn teamwork, cooperation.
Ever heard of "reasonable decompression"?
Have some chocolate!
Who said l don't know how to relax?
Let me tell you,
There're two ways for women to decompress.
One is shopping.
Τhe other is eating.
Shopping is too wasteful
But eating is good.
You're right.
Mm.
I want to take a picture. Smile.
Let me see.
Ah...
One more. Smile.
Don't take my picture.
No problem.
No more photos.
Oh, just one more?
Don't be like that.
Be careful.
One more.
You ok?
Are you ok?
Are you alright?
I thought you wanted to help me relax?
How come l'm helping you to relax?
Mrs. King Kong can cry?
How dare you call me that!
You're a gorilla
You gorilla. You.
When you see a gorilla, act friendly. Say,
"Hi."
Τhen the gorilla kicks your ass.
Then you whine to the manager:
"Why did that gorilla beat me up?"
The manager explains to you,
because in gorilla-talk,
waving your hand means, "Hello, idiot."
You should do it this way.
Τhis is "hello".
Then you go on your way.
you see the gorilla and you do this...
Τhank you.
It's really working. l feel a lot better now.
Yeah.
Βut your joke could be funnier...
Wasn't it funny?
If it's not funny, what are you laughing for?
The way you tell a joke is really funny.
You are funnier
than the joke!
What did you say? Say it again!
ls that a compliment or an insult?
Why did the Administrative department hire you?
What's your lQ?
l've got a high lQ.
Could be the smartest person in the company,
But don't forget your job today is to comfort me.
And work is over now,
Don't talk to me about lQ or EQ.
Fine.
Bye bye.
l'll introduce everybody quickly.
Τhis is Lester, HR Director.
Pleasure to meet you.
Τhis is Vivian.
David, our Sales Director.
David, how do you do?
This is Rose, our HR assistant manager.
I've heard a lot about you.
Τhank you.
Yes, I know you're in charge of this renovation.
Wonderful.
when did Rose come back?
Just came back.
Look at her.
How convenient. What perfect timing.
A master invalid.
Foolish.
How to keep the boss appreciating you?
You can't just work effectively, but also must
show your potential. If you don't work hard,
you'll get nowhere. lf you do work hard
and don't show your talents, you'll still get nowhere.
Company Βonus Τrip.Thailand.
Hello.
Have you ever been to Τhailand?
Have you?
Τhey have the most amazing beaches.
Really beautiful.
Oh. I've heard you're really good at diving.
You'll have to teach me.
Sure.
Really
Ah, then when should we go?
Super cold.
Where do you dive?
This place isn't bad.
Are we sitting in a sewing machine?
Ah...
My God.
Stop the car.
Stop! Stop!
You're scaring the hell out of me.
Can you drive? Βe careful!
lt's too dangerous. Pay attention.
I'm not in the mood. l want to go back.
Ah.
l'll go back with you.
You walk around a bit. l'll get back myself.
Oh.
Where are you?
Good
I'll come get you.
Hello
Do you have a mirror?
Where's Helen?
Where's Eva?
How should I know?
You bought a lamp?
Yeah.
l'm going to take a walk.
Oh, okay.
Uh, sorry
Sorry.
How much is it?
1000
1000 RMΒ?
No, not RMΒ, US dollars.
I don't have that much money.
One thousand
US dollars.
One hundred.
No way! No way!
Two hundred.
No way.
Have they gone?
l don't know.
What about now?
Yes, l think so.
I didn't buy them.
You dare wear a bikini with that figure?
What's wrong with it?
It's better than what you've got.
My lamp's gone.
l really liked that lamp.
You just don't know right from wrong.
Hey, I saved you.
Cheapskate.
Τhanks anyway.
Hey, wait up.
Wait for me.
Why so fast?
Τhen the interviewer asked
"Which department?"
And the guy said,
"l'd like to be on the Βoard of Trustees."
And the interviewer said,
"Are you crazy?"
And the guy said,
"Is that one of the requirements?"
Why aren't you laughing?
Oh, I know.
You have no sense of humor at all
lt's so funny.
l want to be on the Board.
Alright.
Ok.
lt's not my fault you can't take a joke.
Hey, that's my backpack. Come with me.
Hey
Look, look.
Look.
Got one.
You see?
Yeah
Are you going to the party tonight?
Wha?
Are you going to the company party tonight?
Um..
Oh yes, yes, yes. l...
I'm going, I'm going!
You?
I'll go.
Ah, well, go on, then.
Okay.
Fine, fine, fine.
ls everything ok?
No problem. l'll be there in a second.
l'm taking off now.
Ok.
l don't think Eva will get what she wants.
Wang Wei's never mentioned a girlfriend.
Could he be gay?
No way.
He doesn't look gay.
Just unlucky to be with.
That guy.
Other than his face, he's got nothing.
Βut that temper of his.
lt's enough to drive a person crazy.
Hi.
Look at her showing off.
Ugh, look at that.
What kind of girls do Southeasterners go for ?
Τhey're interested in Li Wenhua. Humph!
Are you offended?
Forget about him.
David: I'm outside. Come out.
Morning
Ugh, the holiday was too short.
Yeah. I still want to buy some things.
Me, too.
Hey, Lala. What took you so long?
Oh, l overslept.
Morning.
Good Morning
Yeah, too short.
Too quick.
l think Rose will get promoted this time.
All on your credit.
You've been at DB for two years.
we've all seen what you can do.
Helen.
Mr. Wang.
What time is the teleconference?
Τeleconference?
What teleconference?
Τhe Eastern Regional teleconference.
Oh, I'll get right on it.
Lala,
are you hiding from me?
No, not at all.
What do you mean not at all?
I haven't seen you since Τhailand.
Really?
Well, let's have dinner tonight.
I was drunk that night.
About that,
just pretend it never happened.
I heard you talking about Wang Wei
He sounds like a good catch.
I think l should focus on my career.
Not to mention the company rules.
lf two people hook up, one has to leave.
It'd probably be me.
lt wasn't easy finding a good job.
I think l have a future here.
I wouldn't want to ruin it like this.
You're worried about finding the right work?
Am I right?
Listen,
at your age, you should
work on finding Mr. Right, settling down.
At my age? l'm in the prime of my life.
Hey, have you heard
Wang Wei is mad at Helen again.
l guess he'll change secretaries again.
He's already gone through all the secretaries.
Who's next?
Eva. Hasn't she been dreaming about it?
Speak up.
lt's ok. You can say anything to my face.
Hey, Helen. What happened?
Are you ok?
Fine.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
Τhese are tears ofjoy.
l'm done being his slave.
I've had enough!
What?
No, no. Don't, don't.
I mean... l...
l...
I'm not qualified
I'm just an administrative secretary.
Wang Wei's standards are so high.
l'm afraid.
Are you done?
Τhis is not like you at all.
A person can't just walk in off the street
and do this job.
Βut you can learn.
You're the first girl we've trained for this.
During the renovation, you've shown
your potential and ability.
Τhis is a promotion.
You can overcome this challenge.
You're the only one who can do this.
Am I right?
Yes.
Well !
Congratulations.
Way to go, Lala!
Τhank you.
Hey, beautiful.
Being a secretary isn't easy.
What are you looking at?
You all want a promotion?
Close the door.
I have a few assignments for you.
Oh?
First,
This season,
for this quarter's VlP client sales bonuses,
check with Michael from the eastern region,
Charles from the central,
Yvonne from the northern,
Amy from the northwest,
and Thomas from the southwest.
Verify each one separately,
then submit them to HR for approval.
You're in charge of coordination.
I'll sign everything two days from now.
Secondly, book me a flight to Shanghai
right away.
Hello, 12580
I need a ticket and hotel. Shanghai, please.
Is this Michael?
Amy, do you have the sales bonus numbers?
He's not in? l'll call him back later.
l'll have to coordinate them by this evening.
Bye bye.
Hey
Can you count? l just spotted two errors.
Τoo high, no good. Too low, they'll sue you.
Check it three times before bringing it back.
No more sloppy mistakes.
Good morning.
Hey, Lala
Yes?
The boss is looking for you.
His face doesn't look good.
Oh, ok.
l want all recent sales reports for TDW.
And gather everyone here in 10 minutes.
Recently, our whole team
has put all our efforts into
this bidding war for TDW.
DB's future in China depends on it.
Many people have said this is impossible.
Βut in my dictionary,
there is no such word.
Consider this:
This is a brand with 56 years of history.
When we go out
and hand our business cards to clients.
each one of us
represents it.
We can't allow this brand
to get ruined while in our hands.
Good morning.
We can't allow this brand
to become tarnished in the Chinese market.
Now, go make a new bidding plan.
Right now! Quickly!
David,
The results are back. Take a look.
We can't win with these numbers.
I've tried everything.
It's a dead end.
Do you have a cigarette?
Τhere's no smoking in here.
Τake a break. Smokers, over here.
David,
First, it was a wild one night stand.
Then you became his secretary.
That doesn't sound very good.
Finished?
Are you finished?
Sure.
l not cooking for you tonight.
Or the rest of this week.
Hey, hey.
Get out.
Bidding Day
First, it was a wild one night stand.
Then you became his secretary.
That doesn't sound very good.
How's the bidding going?
Did we lose?
We won.
A hard-won battle.
Can we talk?
What's up?
I know now isn't the best time to mention it,
so l'll just go ahead and say it:
I don't want to be your secretary anymore.
You want to quit?
l...
don't know how to handle our relationship.
I don't know how to face you day to day,
particularly as your secretary.
Didn't you say it never happened?
Work is work.
l don't have a problem with it.
I thought I was okay with it, too.
but l feel that I simply can't
concentrate on my job these days.
l can't split myself in two the way you do.
Right.
Well you'll get no special treatment.
lf you're unqualified, I have to let you go.
I feel so tired sometimes.
What I'm struggling for day after day?
We'll talk about us some other time.
Now go get some rest.
Lala,
I miss you.
Unphotogenic.
Hey, sorry to disturb you.
David, you'd better get going.
lt's not time yet.
Your client's flight arrived early.
lf you don't leave today,
you'll have to wait another month.
Let's go.
Go.
You're not my boss.
She is my boss.
l'm sorry.
l have an HR exam in two days, and there's
still too much to do in the company.
l don't have any time to review.
l'll give you a few days off.
We can both use a vacation.
No,
I don't want a vacation.
No.
No?
l won't take it.
You go ahead and take one.
I don't want to be your secretary forever.
I still have my own dreams.
First of all,
Welcome to our internal hiring process.
Can you tell me why
you think you're qualified for HR Director?
Τhree reasons.
First,
l've worked in Personnel for two years
so I'm familiar with our HR operations.
Second,
I've completed an HR systems course.
Τhird,
While serving as Sales Director secretary,
l've gained a deep understanding of
how other departments function,
all while maintaining my HR duties.
l believe l'm the perfect candidate.
I think Lala's experience
isn't enough.
She doesn't have any experience in HR
I agree with Rose
Hey.
Hi.
l've been looking for you.
We're thinking about hiring internally.
Lala.
Yes.
She applied for HR manager.
She left a good impression.
I'm happy for her. She has a new goal.
Very good.
Think about it.
Meet me after the meeting.
Okay?
Okay.
Thanks.
Sure.
David
You can't just leave like this.
l have to go to America. My mom is sick.
ls she okay?
Well, call me when you get there.
Okay.
I'm gonna late.
Okay. Βye.
Hello.
Are you okay?
Yeah, l'm fine.
I'm at the hospital.
Oh.
How's your mom?
Hold on, the doctor's calling me.
Τalk to you later.
Oh.
Okay, okay.
Go ahead.
Bye bye.
Βye.
Thank you for coming to my retirement party.
I've finally, safely retired.
Cheers.
I'm so happy to be in China
Thank you. Thank you.
Sing us a song!
Hey, Maggie.
Yes?
Look...
Yes?
Now that Lester is retired
Rose will be the new HR Director.
Oh.
She's so fortunate.
Τhen she immediately went to America.
Nobody knows.
Who knows?
David: l'm back. Exhausted. See you at work tomorrow.
Thank you for coming to the US with me.
You're welcome.
We've been together for so long
lf your mom wants to see me before she goes,
l'll, of course, go.
Take care of yourself.
l'm going now.
I'll walk you out.
Oh, l forgot to tell you,
I just got an email from the company.
Congratulations,
Lester has retired,
and you're the new HR Director.
l used to care so much about promotions.
l thought only promotions could prove
my worth.
That position's different now.
So now what?
l'm not a bit happy.
Forget it.
David?
Yes?
Do you think we can
give it another try?
Sorry,
l have a girlfriend.
Oh. Really?
Βut when? You've never mentioned her.
Uh,
for more than a year now.
Really?
Yes.
ls that your girlfriend?
Let me see.
Mm.
You're back.
I missed you so much.
Have you been drinking?
Yes.
it's Lester's retirement party today.
l...
Rose.
I have to go now.
Why?
Why is she here?
You two
went to America together?
l'll explain it later, Lala.
Come on.
Lala.
lt's all in the past.
We broke up before you came.
How come you've never told me?
Why did you keep it from me?
Τhose things had
already passed.
l didn't think it was worth mentioning.
I didn't mean to lie to you.
Lala
Letter of Resignation
What do you think of this car, miss?
Do you like it?
The MX5 is the best-selling car in the world.
6 disc CD player, GPS,
a gear switch on the steering wheel,
genuine leather seats.
I'll take it.
Oh, great.
You can withdraw money here if you need.
Alright. Please wait a moment.
So long in the US, Rose.
Ah, I don't ever want to come back.
Why did you go so suddenly?
Uh, just to get away for a while.
Hey, Lala
Hi.
Hey, Helen,
l'd like to talk to you
What's going on between Wang, Lala, and Rose?
What do you mean?
Don't be ridiculous.
I can't be sure, but
I've always felt there was something strange.
Believe whatever you want.
Hello.
Uh, yes.
Yeah, I sent the email.
Oh my God.
Helen
Pictures
Oh! Oh my God.
Come in.
You wanted to see me?
I want you to handle this Helen issue.
Don't let it hurt the company
or any of our employees.
Okay.
Good.
It's like this...
Go on.
Well, I...
What is it?
About the other day, I...
Oh,I forgot to tell you,
Have Helen's manager talk to her first,
then you can take it from there.
Got it?
Yes.
Τhese things have already past.
No need to mention or bring them up again.
l didn't hide this on purpose.
Lala
l'll take you to work today.
Really?
Yeah.
Check out my new car.
Paying in installments.
Spent my whole savings.
Are you crazy?
l'm fine.
I'm a terrible girlfriend, aren't I?
You're family has so many troubles.
and yet l argue with you.
Come on.
from now on,
l'll take you to work.
Ok.
But,
you drive.
You're driving.
I overreacted.
l've been thinking lately,
who doesn't have something in their past?
Especially someone like you.
Helen.
Your manager
should have talked to you by now,
so let's get straight to the point.
Due to your relationship with Li Wenhua,
we think
you shouldn't be working together.
Τhe day has finally come.
l'll just leave.
Helen
Lala
This is my friend's card.
l sent them your resume.
Τhey hope you can join them.
And as for the salary,
you've gained more experience,
so it'll be better than now.
Lala,
l haven't congratulated you on your promotion.
I never would have expected it.
Just remember,
an HR Department that never fires anyone
is hardly an effective HR.
Try your hand at firing me.
Well, l'm off.
About Helen.........I feel so bad.
lf you feel so uncomfortable,
let's go public with our relationship.
l'll leave, you stay.
I won't let you go.
l need to tell you something.
l was gonna tell you after the annual meeting.
The company structure will change.
Commerce and VlP will be merged.
So ultimately,
we'll need only one director.
Come in.
You wanted to see me?
l need to inform you about a few things.
After the annual meeting,
Wang Wei will be terminated.
You'll handle the procedure.
Keep this information to yourself.
And you should prepare in advance.
Don't be passive.
Don't worry.
l can handle it.
l'm considering some options.
Otherwise, everyday would be the same.
l thought...
everything couldn't function with me.
But actually,
anyone can be replaced.
Well, thanks for letting me know about this.
Lala will administrate your termination.
Lala knows?
l thought you wouldn't want anyone else.
Miss,
You've gone too far.
Why don't you just tell him yourself?
I don't know what you're thinking.
Your money or people? Which matters more?
Lala, what are you thinking?
What happened?
Some day,
if you didn't work at DΒ,
what would you want to do?
Why do you ask?
Oh, nothing.
Just curious.
Probably...
go backpacking.
Τravel around the world.
lf that time happens, would you go with me?
But,
l can't quit my job.
DB Annual Meeting
Don't worry.
Raise your glasses.
Τhank you.
Lala
What? Do I look pretty today?
You're beautiful.
Even if I can't be the most beautiful employee,
l'll be the most beautiful wife.
Of course you are.
Hey, Lala.
Oh, Helen.
Eva's here.
Drink up.
I see we think alike.
l'm glad we're on the same page.
David
Hey.
Will you ask me to dance?
Τhank you.
Sorry.
Would you like to dance?
Shall we?
Okay.
They make a great couple.
David must like Rose.
Rose?
Did you quit because of me?
You're overthinking things.
l decided a long time ago,
when we came back from the US.
So, have you decided what you're going to do?
Not yet.
Maybe spend some time somewhere else..
Come here.
l'll miss you.
What's wrong?
We'll see each other again, right?
If you don't want me to go,
then come with me.
I knew you were the type to do this.
So much trouble.
lt's annoying.
Forget it. I don't want to take you with me.
Anyway,
it's a fresh start for me.
Wish me luck.
Good luck.
You still love her?
I should have known.
ln your heart.
Τhere's no room for me
You broke up with her and
you're lonely,
so you thought of me.
Why can't you trust me?
Don't make a scene.
I'll make a scene if I want to!
l'm not the one who hid everything
and made a big mess of everything.
l just realized that l don't know you at all.
l don't know what else you haven't told me.
How many things have you hidden?
lsn't there anything that you've kept from me?
I can't believe that you ever took our relationship seriously.
You only care about your job
and what the company thinks of you.
You're right.
Maybe it's not the right time.
Βad timing.
Fine.
Let's break things off.
Are you sure?
Lala
Yes
I heard you weren't well.
Are you okay?
l'm fine.
Did you know Wang Wei quit?
l heard
Rose quit.
Do you think those two are...
2 Years later
Oh, bring me a copy of your application.
Alright.
How did her interview go?
Lala
Manny and l love the presents you brought!
We'll return the favor when you get married.
Sis.
Yeah?
Take care of yourself.
After all these years at DB,
you've finally got yourself on a red eye flight.
lsn't it true?
l don't want to scrimp anymore.
Hurry up and get going,
the clients are waiting for you.
So, we're leaving now?
Well...
Have fun and have a safe trip.
Congratulations to the newlyweds.
Τhank you.
We're off.
Okay.
Have fun.
We will.
Bye bye.
Τhailand
Hello.
May l have one of these. Fried rice.
Thanks.
Over here, we have a special tree.
ln Thailand, we call it the "love tree."
Love tree?
All the world's Romeos and Juliets come here
to make their wishes.
Would you like to make some wishes?
Yes.
Hold this.
Τhank you.
Make a wish for love.
Everyone's hanging it too low.
How high can you reach.
David
That looks like your photo.
Did you put it there?
ls it really you?
Are you okay?
Yes. l'm fine.
Excuse me for a second.
What's going on?
Lala
Stop.
Why the hell are you shouting?
Are you new to the company?
August 20, 2009, Lala Du, Wang Wei, Pattaya, Τhailand
What's so funny?
What are you doing here?
You still don't have a sense of humor?
You don't even laugh when l tell a joke?
You've lost all face.
l hate you.
l don't want to see you again.
You...
You're so vengeful.
