- I want to resign. - I don't approve.
Says who?
You think you're something?
You're nothing without me!
It's a very critical moment in Cheng Kuan's life right now.
His life cannot be disrupted because of your appearance.
You don't have to endure all this.
The only thing you need to do now... is trust me.
As the person in charge of this project, I am to blame.
I've already officially turned in my resignation letter to the head office.
In this world, what woman wouldn't care when it comes to love?
But I believe Cheng Kuan wouldn't fall for those shameless women
who steal other people's boyfriends.
From this day forward
Mr. Gao can continue being Deputy General Manager
and you continue being a secretary, understand?

Episode 14 [Kiss and change sides]
Mom.
I'm sorry.
I let you get bullied.
I let her say nasty things to you.
It's okay.
It won't kill me anyway.
It's your dad.
He can't bear to hear other people talk about his daughter like this.
That's why he's so angry.
It doesn't matter. Let him be. He'll be fine after a night's sleep.
Luo Si Yi.
But I want to ask you.
How do you feel about Cheng Kuan?
Mom. I can't have any feelings.
You can't have feelings.
So it's not that you don't have any feelings.
You don't dare to have feelings?
After so many years, you've finally met someone who can open your heart.
Luo Si Yi.
I know you must be very hesitant.
You must be very worried and scared of being hurt, right?
I'm scared of being hurt and hurting others.
You're afraid of this and that.
So you've closed yourself in.
If you're scared, you'll never do anything.
Did you know, when I was little, I was very good at treasure hunts.
When we went to find the treasure, 'it' would come after us.
We'd hide in the safe house, so 'it' wouldn't get us.
It's safe to hide in the safe house.
But if you don't have the courage to walk out of there
then you'll never have the chance to find the treasure, right?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes.
Don't frown.
It brings bad luck.
I'll go check on your dad.
A toast.
Sure.
My child is really willful this time.
It's my fault. I'm sorry.
It's not that serious, Yue Xiang.
Cheng Kuan is very smart.
But he is sometimes too stubborn.
But if you give him some guidance, and advise him, he'll know what to do.
So I have to trouble you to put in some effort on this matter.
You're here.
Son.
It's Chief Executive Officer's treat today. I forgot to tell you. Sit.
Hello, Chief Executive Officer.
Son.
Come, give me the wine glass.
The restaurant manager introduced this wine, he said it has a meaningful history.
It's 16 years old.
It's the same amount of time that Chief Executive Officer
has taken care of you like his own son.
I see he has more white hairs lately because of you.
Why don't you apologize to Chief Executive Officer with this wine?
Mom.
I believe you are not a quitter.
You won't disappoint Chief Executive Officer, right?
Chief Executive Officer, I'm sorry.
I've let you worry about me lately.
Sorry.
Why are you doing this, Yue Xiang?
It's nothing. I didn't take it to heart.
Don't take it to your heart, either.
Like I said, it's best to have filial children.
Isn't that right?
Cheng Kuan is very filial.
Vivian is also very filial to you too.
Yes, you're right.
Us parents can rest assured when two filial children are together.
Chief Executive Officer, regarding this matter, I have some thoughts as well.
Sure, please tell me.
Our children have grown up.
Us parents can't interfere in many things anymore.
After all, it's their own life.
I think it's best to let them take care of their own relationship.
I'm sure Cheng Kuan and Vivian will make the best decision for themselves.
Cheng Kuan.
Am I right?
So Chief Executive Officer, let's watch over them with our blessings.
Let the children solve their own problems.
They are both smart kids.
I trust Cheng Kuan will make the best decision for himself.
All right. Since you've said it, I'll respect you.
I respect what you said.
Rest early.
You didn't say a word on the way.
I really want to know what's on your mind.
Mom.
I'm sorry about the engagement.
You don't need to apologize to me.
We should apologize to Chief Executive Officer.
He has always taken care of you like you were his own son.
But you hurt his precious daughter.
Do you know how much it hurts someone as a father?
I know I've disappointed Chief Executive Officer.
But you really can't force feelings.
So...
That's why I spoke on your behalf just now.
But that doesn't mean I think you're right.
You hurt Vivian's heart.
I feel very apologetic towards her too.
It's impossible between me and her.
I'd rather end it earlier.
I rather that she be mad at me for a while
than have her hate me for life.
You really don't like Vivian?
Mom.
I've fallen for Luo Si Yi.
You mean Secretary Luo?
I can tell that she's a good girl.
But isn't Vivian good too?
We're really not compatible.
It doesn't matter how good she is.
Son.
I'm not the one who will accompany you for the rest of your life.
I hope you can be responsible for your decision.
I've already thought it through.
But...
I can't bear to see you suffer.
Can you understand how a mother feels?
If you marry Vivian you'll have a much smoother path in life.
Mom.
A smooth path does not mean happiness.
Do you want me to live a successful life?
Or do you want me to live a happy life?
I don't think the two conflict with one another.
You can nurture love.
If you can try to fall for Vivian, you can have both success and happiness.
If I could fall for her, I would have fallen for her already.
I wouldn't have waited till now.
All right. I don't want to force you.
But I hope you can reconsider some more.
Perhaps you'll think differently later.
Drive safely.
Son.
No matter what you decide.
I'll support your decision.
Think about it carefully.
I know.
Bye.
You're not done yet?
You're up?
Thanks for yesterday.
I didn't know that there would be no water at my apartment yesterday.
Thank you for taking me in.
What's this smell?
Shaving cream.
Shaving cream?
Yeah.
I used shaving cream to shave my legs.
You used my towel to wipe your legs?
Yeah.
Yeah. You know.
Sometimes, guys need to shave their legs out of courtesy.
I wipe it off after I shave.
Then I put it there.
Courtesy?
Courtesy!
Courtesy...
You.
Where are your manners?
You used my towel to wipe your legs.
- You call that courtesy? - I surrender.
I just showered, now I'm sweating again.
Put some clothes on.
All right.
Hurry up.
This t-shirt is...
Yours.
It's limited edition.
I didn't bring anything with me yesterday. You saw me too.
I didn't bring anything.
Of course, I'm wearing your clothes.
And your underwear?
Underwear?
Yours.
It's just a little tight.
Then don't wear it. Take it off.
Okay.
If you don't mind having a naked guy eating breakfast with you.
Wait.
Don't take it off.
Stingy.
What's up?
Are you nervous about your interview later?
What's to be nervous about?
Then you better perform well.
Our future depends on you.
'Our?'
You and me.
What does my interview have to do with you?
Hey, that hurts.
Aren't we buddies?
We're peas in a pod.
Besides, we're even wearing the same underwear, right?
So you want the new company to hire both of us at once?
We are one.
It's to their advantage.
That's true too.
When things are confirmed at the new company, we'll go together.
Deputy General Manager, you're so nice.
I thought you only wanted Miss Si Yi.
I thought you wouldn't want your personal assistant anymore.
I want you both.
You mean...
You're bringing Miss Rose with you?
Do you think they'll let Luo Si Yi off after I leave Guang Qiang?
The only thing I can do is arrange a good back up plan.
And take her with me.
You're here.
Chief Executive Officer.
Why did Chief Executive Officer suddenly want to see me?
I want to ask have you gotten used to being at Guang Qiang yet?
Yes.
I think I can rest assured now that you've joined Guang Qiang's development team.
Thanks for your appreciation.
By the way, Chief Executive Officer.
I heard Deputy General Manager Gao is leaving the company.
Is this true?
Yes, he did give me his resignation letter.
Deputy General Manager Gao is a very outstanding talent.
It would be Guang Qiang's loss if he left.
I know. I'll take care of this.
I asked to see you to talk about work.
Guang Qiang's new LED product has been very well received in the market.
So I want to ask if we can continue our collaboration.
What do you think?
Are you willing to sign a long-term contract with Guang Qiang?
Of course I'm willing.
But I'd like to negotiate the terms.
Sure, tell me.
I hope you can keep Luo Si Yi.
Tang Yi Chun.
From what I understand, you and Miss Luo are not just colleagues, right?
Luo Si Yi was once a very important page in my life.
I cannot use words to describe my guilt towards her.
It's because of her that I came back this time.
Otherwise, I might not have chosen Guang Qiang.
How about this, Chief Executive Officer.
Transfer Luo Si Yi to be my personal assistant.
What do you think about that?
Miss Si Yi. Good news!
Look.
What is it?
This is a document from the Justice Department.
They say we can appeal the city's bidding project.
Really?
That's great, Miss Si Yi. Then you don't need to resign anymore.
That's right.
Let me see.
What does it say?
If we're not disqualified from the bid.
Deputy General Manager won't need to resign either.
I wonder how his interview today is going.
Have you waited long?
You're in such a rush to find a new job?
You're in such a rush to leave me?
When your dad died you were only a little boy.
I treated you, nurtured you like you were my own son.
Now. You've grown up. You are independent now.
You choose to leave me?
Are you really that heartless?
What are you trying to say? Going to work for another corporate group?
You want to become my competitor? You want to crush me?
That's not what I mean.
But that's what your actions say.
Cheng Kuan, my heart is bleeding.
I'm sorry, Chief Executive Officer.
Can 'I'm sorry' wipe the slate clean between the two of us?
Going to work for another corporate group is to deny my years of nurturing you.
Understand?
The key to corporate success is talent.
Would I let the talent that I worked so hard to nurture leave me?
Impossible.
I must take responsibility for the error in the city's bidding project.
What bullshit bidding project?
Take what bullshit responsibility?
The Justice Department told me.
According to city guidelines, there's still a chance for us to appeal.
So you don't need to take responsibility for this incident.
- If this incident is not taken care of... - Don't give me excuses.
If you really consider me your elder...
If you feel a tiny bit of gratefulness towards me...
Then you should stay and help me.
I won't forget your kindness towards me.
But I have my career plan.
I'm sorry.
It's only because of that female secretary.
What plan?
You don't need to conceal it from me. I know all about it.
You chose to leave because you want to leave Vivian.
But...
Have you thought about it carefully, Cheng Kuan?
Are you really going to sacrifice all you have now for your so-called love?
Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?
You chose to leave because you want to leave Vivian.
But...
Have you thought about it carefully, Cheng Kuan?
Are you really going to sacrifice all you have now for your so-called love?
Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?
If I force myself to be with Vivian
I'm afraid I would impede Vivian's happiness.
Sit.
Kid, I was young once too.
I've been in love as many times as you.
So I can understand your reckless behavior now.
But because I've been through it.
I've seen many people blinded by love and make irrational decisions.
And then it's too late to regret their decisions.
Are you sure you won't regret it?
I've thought about my decision carefully, it's not an impulsive decision.
I don't believe you don't feel anything towards Vivian.
The two of you grew up together.
Don't you feel anything towards her?
Although Vivian is a little willful.
But do you believe it?
She told me she's willing to change for you.
Why don't you give her a chance?
Try again.
I don't think she likes me.
Are you telling me the truth?
Vivian is my daughter. I know she really likes you.
Secretary Luo is not the only one who is treasured by her parents.
Vivian is my darling.
Seeing her sad, seeing her cry is the same as someone stepping on my heart.
Cheng Kuan.
You'll understand when you become someone's elder, someone's parent.
I don't want her to be sad because of me either.
Then stop hurting her.
I'm not asking for much.
I just want you to give Vivian another chance.
Try to date her again.
If you still think the two of you are not compatable after Vivian's efforts
I promise, I promise to respect your decision, okay?
It's a good thing that she's willing to change her personality.
But I really don't love Vivian.
Okay. Let's put Vivian aside.
But I ask you to stay and help me. That works, right?
You don't need to answer me now.
I know you have a lot on your mind right now.
Take a long vacation.
Think about what's best for you during this time.
But you have to promise you'll have a long talk with Vivian during this time.
Have a good long talk with her, understand?
Think of it as me pleading you.
Tea time.
How was it, Inspector?
You went to proclaim your territory at Luo Si Yi's family's laundromat
Did you also wash her parent's face at the same time?
Her dad did look very angry.
But her mom didn't even take what I said seriously.
She even talked back.
Old ladies are the most difficult people to deal with in this world.
So Deputy General Manager insists on resigning?
Of course, my daddy won't let him resign just like that.
But Gao Cheng Kuan is very stubborn.
I think I've almost lost.
You haven't lost.
Inspector.
You're not thinking of giving up just like that, are you?
What else? Do you have any ideas?
If you want to rise from the dead, then you must die first.
What do you mean?
It's just a metaphor, okay?
Calm down.
All right, get to the point.
The point is... to attack his weakness.
Weakness?
Deputy General Manager Gao looks tough on the outside, but is soft at heart.
If you turn into a victim, a damsel in distress in front of him
he'll soften his attitude.
The more you suffer, the more he'll feel guilty towards you.
In the end, he'll come back to you.
That seems to be his personality.
You can't go against him head on.
So...
The more agitated you are, the more pressure he feels.
The more pressure he feels, the closer he'll move towards Luo Si Yi.
That's not a good example either.
Like me.
Zhe and I get along very well.
That Zhong Xiao Ke kept forcing Zhe to marry her.
So much so that Zhe felt very annoyed.
I'm different.
When I'm with Zhe, I never ask for any commitment.
We are relaxed and happy when we are together.
That's why I have Zhe's heart.
That makes sense too.
Men are all the same.
No matter what kind of person you are.
You have to act like a sweetheart in front of men.
Remember, love is like a show, it all depends on your acting.
All right. I know what I should do.
What are you saying?
You came crying to me when Cheng Kuan wanted to call off the engagement.
Now you're telling me you want to call off the engagement?
What happened?
I want to win him back on my own.
My darling daughter.
I didn't know that you loved Cheng Kuan so much.
But have you thought about it?
If you call off the engagement now, I'm afraid he'll drift even farther away from you.
I've thought about it all.
But the engagement means nothing to him.
If that's the case, I might as well call off the engagement.
Then I'll have a chance to win his trust.
No. I think that's too big of a risk.
I don't approve.
All right, sweetie.
Let me take care of this, okay?
I know I should do this.
I don't believe I can't win over Luo Si Yi.
But...
Daddy.
Don't worry. I can do it.
I must make Cheng Kuan come back to me willingly.
When your dad died
you were just a little boy.
I treated you, I nurtured you like you were my own son.
And now. You've gown up. You're independent now.
So you want to leave me?
Are you really that heartless?
What is it that you have to tell me face to face?
Have a seat first.
I've ordered your favorite coffee.
Since when do you remember what I like to drink?
I've heard everything from Daddy.
I'm sorry.
For putting so much pressure on you.
I've never heard you say 'sorry' before.
Because I know I've done wrong.
I'm overbearing and willful.
And my attitude towards you was not nice.
You must have felt out of breath these past few years that we've been together.
So you'd fall for the docile Luo Si Yi.
Am I right?
It's my fault.
I was too self-centered.
It's not your fault.
We have different personalities and family backgrounds.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You don't need to change anything because of me.
I know you dislike me.
I thought I didn't care about anything.
But when you wanted to leave everything for Luo Si Yi
I realized...
I care about you so much.
Vivian, don't be like this.
You really can't force feelings.
I know.
The reason why I asked you here is to tell you...
Forget it.
I won't talk to you about our engagement anymore.
Really.
From now on...
you're free.
Daddy won't force you to be with me anymore either.
As for work...
Yi Ren Group really needs you.
Daddy is getting old.
Do you really have the heart to leave everything to him?
Can you stay?
Stay and help my daddy.
I'll think about the company carefully.
In regards to us...
If we communicated like this from the beginning
perhaps we wouldn't have ended up like this today.
I believe...
you'll meet someone more suitable for you than me.
Cheng Kuan.
I'll work hard to change myself.
So you'll like me.
Xiao Ke, your shop is doing so well, why don't you hire another part-timer?
Hiring another person means more personnel cost.
I also worry a part-timer having low tolerence for the pressure
and leaving after a couple days. It would be too troublesome.
That's right. And you need to retrain new hires, it's very tiring.
Me!
I'm really good with stress.
See, I've worked with the temperamental, heartless Gao Cheng Kuan for so long.
But I can still maintain a good mood.
You can tell that I, Guan Sheng Jun, am generous and persevering.
Is that so?
You're used to high-level positions in big companies.
Are you willing to clean up after customers?
- Check, please. - NT$250.
Let me clean up.
He's so hardworking, just hire him.
Since when have you become such a professional at cleaning tables?
Volunteer. Volunteer.
Deputy General Manager, your meeting ended?
How did it go?
The interviewer from the new company today was Chief Executive Officer Jiang.
What?
Weren't you meeting with the new company's Chief Executive Officer?
Why was it Chief Executive Officer Jiang?
You really can't escape from him.
He is indeed well-connected.
And? What did he say?
Is he letting you go? Or does he plan to force you to stay?
He says he respects my decision.
He won't interfere with my private life anymore.
He told me to take a long vacation.
And reconsider about work.
And!
Vivian agreed to call off the engagement.
Congratulations, Cheng Kuan! You're free!
Don't touch me at every opportunity possible, okay?
Wearing my underwear and stealing Xiao Ke's...
Coming.
I'll go help first.
Putting love before friendship.
Likewise.
Please wait a moment.
Sheng Jun.
- Could you help me move some boxes? - Sure.
Just tell me what you want to move.
Where are the boxes?
Silly, I told you to come out on purpose so that the two of them can be alone.
We are alone too.
Cheng Kuan is taking a vacation, so that means I'm free.
Since you're shorthanded at the shop.
I'll come to help you tomorrow.
What do you say?
Deputy General Manager.
Congratulations. I'm really happy for you.
About those hypothetical questions I asked you at your house...
If that question is no longer hypothetical.
Then...
Is there really a chance for us to...
If that question is no longer hypothetical.
Then...
Is there really a chance for us to...
The hypothetical question that you asked me.
If you didn't have something and I didn't have something would we something?
If we are going forward in this direction.
Shouldn't we...
date first?
You mean the kind with just the two of us?
I can't believe Vivian actually agreed to call off the engagement.
I think this decision is good for everyone.
Luo Si Yi.
Luo Si Yi!
Dad.
Papa Luo.
Where did you go with this guy?
Why did you come home so late?
Let's go home.
Dad, Deputy General Manager said hi.
Since he already said hi, he has no more business here.
Stop pestering my daughter from now on.
All right. Let's go.
Papa Luo.
What is it?
I'd like to take Luo Si Yi out tomorrow.
Wasn't today enough?
Where are you going tomorrow?
I might take her to somewhere slightly farther away.
What? You don't plan to bring her home tomorrow?
What's in that head of yours?
You think I'd consent to this?
Dad.
Come, let's find a place to talk.
Dad.
You're in charge of eating.
Me and Mr. Gao will do the talking.
Tell me.
Papa Luo.
Please allow me to date Luo Si Yi.
- I'll definitely... - You'll definitely what?
You'll definitely make my daughter cry like that Mr. Tang, right?
Don't you already have a very beautiful girlfriend?
Why are you still pestering our Luo Si Yi?
I was dating Vivian becaus of our elders arrangement.
There is no love between the two of us.
It's the first time I've heard that you can date someone without love.
Let me tell you frankly.
Your beautiful girlfriend came to our home and told us you're getting engaged.
We've already called off our engagement.
It's called off because you said so? Is it true?
I've already told her very clearly that I like Luo Si Yi.
That's easy for you to say.
Papa Luo.
Please give me a chance.
Allow me to date Luo Si Yi.
I'll definitely take good care of her.
And protect her wholeheartedly like you.
Say that last sentence again.
Please give me a chance.
Allow me to date Luo Si Yi.
I'll definitely take good care of her.
And protect her wholeheartedly like you.
You have guts.
I can't help it. It's because you look so much like me when I was young.
No only your personality, but also your looks.
Really?
Don't pull your dad's leg.
Here, careful comparison.
Don't we look alike?
Yes.
We look alike, right?
I'm not done yet.
You must make a clean break with that girlfriend of yours.
Otherwise, don't come to see our Luo Si Yi.
I know.
Here.
Although we are just a regular family.
But Si Yi is the apple of my eye.
Would I let her suffer? No.
Would I let her cry? I would be more sad.
So, if someone let her suffer. Do you see this chopstick?
If someone let her cry.
Papa Luo.
I get it.
Couldn't you have said so sooner?
Give it to me.
All right. Pour!
Here.
- Dad. - Have fun tomorrow.
Dad.
Papa Luo.
I'm sorry.
My dad obviously can't drink but he likes to overexert.
If I can let Papa Luo trust me, I don't care how much I have to drink.
- Dad. - Papa Luo.
- Dad.
Papa Luo.
Luo Si Yi!
- Luo Si Yi. - Wake up!
Wake up, Luo Si Yi.
Get up.
Morning, Mom. Morning, Luo Si Qi.
Why are you so early?
Aren't you going on a date? Why aren't you up yet?
That's right.
Mom called me this morning and told me to bring lots of pretty clothes. Here.
What clothes?
We're going out, not roleplaying.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm telling you, men are all decedents of perverts.
You must dress sexy.
Don't let Cheng Kuan take his eyes off you.
No matter how sexy, or smoking hot other people dress, he'll only have eyes for you.
Why do you always miss the point? The point is not...
There.
Where?
Once you focus there, then you won't need to focus elsewhere.
Go change. Go.
So pretty.
Luo Si Qi.
What clothes did you bring for your sister?
I'm afraid even your dad can't take it.
Go change.
Just the right length.
Very elegant. What do you think?
Next.
Cheng Kuan, you're here.
Cool.
This is a crash suit.
It also...
This bike is really cool.
It's okay.
Where are you planning to take our Si Yi dressed so handsomly like this?
I want to take Luo Si Yi out for a ride.
Why isn't Luo Si Yi here yet? Luo Si...
Keep it down.
- I'll go get her. - Okay.
Luo Si...
Morning.
You can put me down.
Look how handsome Cheng Kuan is today. It's like he's on a movie set.
And he rode on a big motorcycle to take you out.
Wait a minute.
Luo Si Yi.
Are you riding a motorcycle wearing this?
Dad, it took me a long time to find this dress.
It's fine. Fine.
It's fine.
Luo Si Yi, you're really lame.
Hurry and get your sister changed into another outfit.
Go.
Sis.
Next outfit.
Is this okay?
Oh, yes.
Hold on tight.
Nice trick.
Bye, dream chaser!
Hello.
- Long time no see. - Long time no see.
- Cheng Kuan. - What's up?
I want to get even.
- Are you sure? - Of course.
You lost bad last time.
No such thing. I want another round.
- You sure you want another round now? - Of course.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Watch how I win.
Go! Deputy General Manager go!
Go! Go! Go!
Deputy General Manager, go!
He won!
Deputy General Manager!
What the hell, this bike sucks.
You won!
- You lost. - I lost.
How is it?
Fine, you win.
Ma'am, old rules.
What old rules?
According to tradition. Kiss.
Kiss?
It's... tradition.
Kiss...
The other side...
Kiss...
The other side...
Look at this.
It's so unique.
- And the sound is nice too. - Yeah.
Deputy General Manager, how often did you ride bicycles before?
- You mean just now? - Yes.
Today was the first time.
First time?
Didn't you say it was tradition?
It will be a tradition after today.
You lied to me, you...
- No. - Gao Cheng Kuan.
You have to listen to my explanation.
Is this bike okay?
No.
I used to race against time every day.
I only realized recently...
being able to stare into space like this naturally...
is also a happy thing.
Then you should cherish the time you have now to relax.
You were too busy before.
You were too busy to look at the scenery around you.
Luo Si Yi.
Do you know?
You are the most beautiful scenery around me.
Subtitles by DramaFever
Although we've called off the engagement.
I still care a lot about you.
I'll let you know, I've changed.
It's not easy for Cheng Kuan to enter our door.
We mustn't let him leave easily.
I like you.
I like you a lot.
So I hope you can be happy.
I'm serious about Luo Si Yi.
Please don't be overly concerned about your ex-girlfriend in the future.
