Boss & Me
Episode 4
Please sit.
What's going on?
This is...
Uncle Ye, this is Feng Yue's benefactor during her delivery, and the guest-of-honour for today.
- Hello. - Hello.
Boss, I'm very willing to do good deeds without everyone knowing.
Now everyone, including the company executives, knows that I am just a "blood cow".
Big Boss, isn't it inappropriate for me to sit here?
How is it inappropriate?
This table is full of important people.
I am just a lowly employee, I am fine with simply sitting in a corner somewhere.
Remember, you are the benefactor.
We are very thankful to everyone for being here at our son's one-month birthday.
Thank you everyone, and cheers to all of you from us.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's all eat while the food is still hot.
Shan Shan, help yourself, don't be shy.
The dishes are quite delicious, let's all eat together.
Thank you, Big Boss.
- Eat more. - Thank you.
Come, eat some more.
- How's the food? Good? - Yes, very delicious!
- Come, let's toast. - Come, cheers!
A toast to you.
- Come. - Cheers!
Your necklace today is really nice.
I am seated furthest away from the most desirable guy who is surrounded by beautiful women,
yet there's no place for me.
Manager Yan and Ms. Feng, a toast to both of you.
- Thank you, Shan Shan. - Thank you, Shan Shan.
You are welcome.
B-Boss, a toast to you as well.
I'll be driving so I can't drink.
You drink for me.
It's getting late. Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. I have matters to attend to, so I shall leave first.
Let me finish my drink. Please enjoy your drinks.
- Uncle Ye, take care. - Please take care. - Thank you, Uncle Ye.
- Enjoy the rest of the evening. - Please take care.
- Take care. - Thank you, Uncle Ye. - See you.
Then, I'll be leaving as well. Goodbye.
Stop.
You have to stay behind with me to see the guests off.
Please sit.
Boss, I'm also a guest.
I also brought a gift.
But the Boss hasn't left yet.
Should the employee leave first?
Of course not! The employee shall remain to keep the Boss company.
And see the guests off! See the guests off...
- We'll be leaving first. - Thank you. - Take care.
- Thank you for having us, bye. - Bye-bye.
Take care.
- Take care. - Thank you. - Bye.
Take care.
- Thank you for having us. - Thank you.
- Take care. - Thanks for having us.
See you.
- Thank you, take care.
- Take care. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Sorry to trouble you.
Boss, didn't you say someone will send me back? Why is he leaving?
Am I not human?
Get in the car.
Thank you, Boss.
Please stop at the intersection ahead.
Why?
I want to eat beef noodle soup.
I really ate my fill at the banquet this afternoon.
It's just that everything is already digested.
Also, I have a huge appetite.
I need to eat again.
It is, in fact, time for dinner now.
That's right! That's right...
Then... thank you, Boss.
I'll get off here.
Boss, you don't need to send me back.
Once I'm done eating, I'll take a taxi home, it's okay. Thank you!
Eating beef noodle soup, right?
- You are not eating as well, are you? - Can I not?
My food is all digested as well.
Did you think my digestive system is not as good as yours?
- Oh, Miss Xue, you are here. - Hello.
Have a seat. Have a seat.
Hold on, hold on...
Boss, please sit.
Miss Xue, what would you like to eat today?
Boss, what would you like to eat?
I'll have the same thing as you.
2 bowls of beef noodle soup, 1 big and 1 small.
You are eating a small bowl today?
I... Yes, I am having a small one today.
Sit for a moment, I'll go prepare them.
- Thank you, lady boss! - Okay, enjoy!
What's the matter, Boss?
Is the food not to your liking?
- Can't be! You... - Order another bowl. I don't eat coriander.
You don't eat coriander?
No problem, I'll pick out the coriander for you, okay?
Otherwise, we'll be wasting so much food.
Okay, you can eat now.
Is it good?
Quite good.
The noodle is quite good too.
I eat here almost every evening because it's so good.
Then, eat more.
Thank you, Boss.
Your seatbelt.
I had a good time having dinner with you.
Have an early night.
What does that mean?
- Am I now some form of friends with this... this tyrant? - Happy weekends.
Happy, very happy.
Thank you, Boss.
See you, Boss!
Boss, drive safely!
Banquet... Sports car... Boss...
I even ate beef noodle soup together with Boss!
This weekend has been just like a dream.
Am I in a dream right now?
I never expected, as a lowly company staff, just for donating blood to Boss' sister,
I would get to interact with Boss and even eat beef noodle soup together.
His high-class digestive system should need about two days to digest all the food and recover.
Will he get diarrhoea from it?
I even got a ride home in the Boss's sports car!
My God! This month has really been so much like a fantasy.
How much dog shit (dumb luck) must I have stepped on to be lucky enough to get this brief encounter with Boss?
But after this, I'll probably never cross paths with Boss again.
At least... Starting tomorrow, no more pork liver lunch!
Li Shu has found a place for her store near the company, and this is already her third store.
Because of the banquet yesterday, I didn't have time to prepare your meals.
So I'm sorry, but the two of you won't be bringing your lunch with you today.
But when I return from the bookstore, if I have the time and if I'm in a better mood,
I'll prepare the food for you both and have it sent to you later.
End of announcement.
Babe, it's so cold outside, even snowing.
You gave birth barely a month ago. You shouldn't be going outside.
Isn't it just a new store? Are there renovations going on?
I cannot hold back anymore.
In good faith, I introduced my girlfriends to you and my good intentions are rejected as if worthless.
I have to go out and relieve my anger!
What about Miss Xue's lunch?
Not sending anymore.
She doesn't want to eat it.
Okay then. It's snowing anyway.
What?
I am saying, it isn't a good idea to go out in this weather.
We'll take care of today's lunch on our own.
Also, Yan Qing, we have a meeting later.
- I'll help you go and take care of the bookstore. - Okay.
Lunchboxes, bookstore... None of them is the point of this conversation.
You know the point I'm trying to make, don't you?
Please don't make my love life your business.
If you arrange a date without my consent and the girl gets hurt, it's not my fault and I won't apologize, understand?
You guys enjoy the food.
Let it be, babe, don't be mad.
Your brother's personality, you know best, you grew up with him.
He's just so stubborn, what can we do about that? Just let him be.
Let him be?
Do you know how picky he is?
Look here, we ate a lot of stuff, he only took his porridge.
If he continues like this, he will never find a wife and will forever be alone.
When we all grow old, I can't bear to see him turn into a weird old man sitting in a rocking chair,
lamenting about the years past, without children or wife by his side.
In the end, a teardrop falls slowly down his handsome, aged face...
- Are you even listening to me? - I... I am!
Xue Shan Shan!
- Are you trying to steal my car? - I...
Good morning, Boss. (literally "Early")
It is not early anymore.
You are going to be late for work.
I... I am going now.
♫ Love has started to play a role in our story ♫
♫ Bit by bit, it has written down the emotional chapters ♫
♫ I want to collect for you the most beautiful moments ♫
♫ Quietly accompany you in waiting for that day ♫
- I... I'm leaving first. ♫ This love is too strong, it allows no hesitation ♫
♫ Whether my heart can fill all the emptiness ♫
Xue Shan Shan!
The most embarrassing things in this world keep happening in front of Boss and the person I have a crush on.
What sins have I committed? God, why are you punishing me?
What are you doing, sneaking around?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Come, get up.
Qi Shuai, you're very handsome!
Let's go. I'll help you inside.
Does it hurt a lot?
No, it's okay, it's okay.
Come, slowly now.
Over there, this way.
- What shall we have for lunch? - Whatever.
Okay, we'll see.
- Hi, Qi Shuai. What are you doing here? - Hi.
- I'm waiting for someone. - Waiting for whom?
- Hey, Shan Shan! - Hey!
Hello!
- We'll be leaving then. - Okay, bye bye.
Thank you.
How's everything? That fall seemed pretty serious. Need to go to the hospital and get it checked out?
It's nothing. It's nothing.
As long as nothing broken and no blood involved, it's no problem for me.
But even if it's something serious, I recover very fast.
Please don't.
You must not let something serious happen to yourself in front of me, okay?
If that happens, and Feng Teng or Feng Yue finds out, how am I to explain to them?
If you're okay, then I'm going back to my office.
Next time, be more careful when you walk.
- Bye bye. - Bye bye.
- Shan Shan - Du Fan
This is...
I... I wasn't careful just now, and I slipped and fell in the snow.
You fell down?!
Your... How come your coat is all wet?
Pass it to me, I'll help you blow-dry it with a hairdryer.
Never mind. It will be dry in a while.
You don't have to be shy with me. Here, give it to me.
Besides, in the whole company, only our General Affairs office has a hairdryer.
Okay then.
Let's have lunch together later.
My treat... as a thank-you to you.
Okay.
Okay then. I'll go first. I'll leave this with you.
Okay. Don't worry.
- Bye bye! See you at lunch! - Bye bye.
Alright! Today can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Even falling on my butt quickly turned into a good situation.
Just one thought of Zheng Qi...
Xue Shan Shan, what are you thinking about?
But the most important thing is...
finally, there's no more pig liver lunch!
Today is a beautiful day!
What's the matter?
You are almost glowing today. Did something good happen?
- Something good is always happening somewhere, right? - What good thing?
I heard that today, you arrived at the company with Qi Shuai hugging you around your waist.
Do you want to declare a change in relationship status?
But what I heard is that Du Fan was blow-drying your coat for you.
What kind of situation is this?
Du Fan must have been following Qi Shuai's instructions.
This Qi Shuai is really considerate.
So we now know that it's all because of Qi Shuai that Shan Shan can associate with the Boss.
I really envy you.
You're about to become part of the upper class. Then one day, you'll be a Shanghai socialite.
- Don't forget about us then, okay? - Yes, yes.
That's right! That's right! Don't forget about us.
Gossip is certainly the company culture here.
It's not even lunchtime yet and everyone in the office knows about it.
Luckily, no one saw Boss helping me up from a pile of snow.
Otherwise, I'll turn into Boss's wife in their gossip.
Erm... What are you guys talking about?
I don't understand.
She doesn't understand, she says...
- Pretending. - I agree.
Let's have lunch! Have lunch! ...
Shan Shan, today you're not eating the lunch sent by Boss?
I've already told Boss not to send me lunch anymore.
We are having lunch with Du Fan today. My treat!
Wow! You're awesome! You told Boss to stop sending, and he stops!
What?!
Don't make it sound as if Boss listens to whatever I say.
If I could move the clouds with my left hand and the rain with my right,
wouldn't the whole Feng Teng Group become mine?
Shan Shan, I have indeed underestimated you!
Even Qi Shuai cannot fulfil your ambitions.
- What are you saying?! That's not what I meant. - Okay, okay. Let's go eat.
No matter how big a favour, one month of sending lunchboxes is enough.
I can't let Boss keep sending them forever.
Hello? Ah Mei.
You're not coming today to give me lunch, are you?
No.
That's good, that's good.
Then, we're going for lunch now, okay?
Whenever you have time, grab a meal with us!
Okay. How about we go out together this Sunday? I want to buy some clothes too.
- Okay, then call me with the details. - Okay.
Shan Shan, Boss didn't ask me to send your lunch down, but he asked you to come up and take it.
Take?
T-Take what?
Lunch!
You... Maybe you misheard what he said?
No, I didn't.
Ah Mei, can you please pass the phone to Boss?
Okay, hold on a moment, I'll go and ask him.
Boss
Boss, this is Xue Shan Shan.
What's the matter?
It's regarding the lunchbox situation.
That day, Ms. Feng said...
Regarding your lunch...
Miss Xue
I don't think my secretary's job is to serve you.
That's right. Boss is very wise.
You making Ah Mei bring me lunch is such a huge waste of human resources.
So from now on, you should not bother Ah Mei anymore with the lunch delivery.
So, starting today, come up and take it yourself.
What's the matter? What did he want?
Quickly tell me. Tell me!
You go and have lunch with Du Fan. My treat.
20 yuan? (About 3.25 USD)
Shan Shan, you're so generous.
Enough now?
Okay, okay.
You are eating from a lunchbox again, right?
It seems like the boss really intends to feed you forever.
In the future, I will depend on you to support me, okay?
Carry what shoes? (Word play: "tí xié" can mean "support" or "carry shoes")
Let alone carrying shoes, I'll even polish your shoes if you ask.
I... I'm going to eat lunch.
Thank you for the money.
No, I must clear this up with Boss today.
Eliminate the problem, once and for all.
Charge!
The thing is...
Ah Mei
There's something I want to tell you.
Go ahead.
It's just that I've already told Ms. Feng Yue not to send me lunch anymore
but she seems to have forgotten about it.
so today, can you please help me tell Boss not to send me lunch ever again from now on?
I will never again disturb his work either.
Do you know Ms. Feng Yue's number?
Can you tell me so that I can personally inform her?
Even if I have Ms. Feng's number, I still can't casually give it to anyone.
Also, regardless of whether you have lunch tomorrow, today, you definitely do.
So you'd better quickly go inside, Boss is waiting for you.
- Hurry up and go inside. Be a good girl, okay? - No, I don't want to.
- Stop dawdling. Shan Shan, stop dawdling. - I won't go!
- Do you want Boss to come out and get you? - I won't go in!
- Boss! Xue Shan Shan is here! - No, she's not here! Not here!
- I'm not going in. - Shan Shan, quickly go in!
Good luck!
When Boss is focused on his work, he looks very handsome.
Why is my heart beating so fast?
Is this what they call "a fawn kicking up a storm in your heart"?
- Xue Shan Shan - Huh?
Come over here.
Just now, was I merely attracted to Boss's looks?
But I also felt totally enchanted when he called my name just now.
How come my name sounds so nice when it comes from his mouth?
It is true what they say: the more dangerous a creature is, the more attractive it looks.
Be cautious. Safety first. Be cautious. Safety first. ...
Are you chanting?
N-No.
Wait a moment for me.
No problem, I can wait until you are not busy.
Your lunch is over there.
Good gracious! Ms. Feng is becoming more and more extravagant!
One becomes two. Don't tell me she really wants me to become a fat "blood cow".
There are two!
Boss, I really can't eat that much.
It's too much.
One of them is mine.
The thing is... Boss, I've already told Ms. Feng not to send me lunch anymore.
I really can't eat anymore!
As they say, "You are what you eat."
You see my complexion is rosy red now.
If I continue eating like this, I'm really going to turn into a pig!
What she does is out of my control. You tell her yourself.
Then, how do I contact Ms. Feng?
She has gone to Europe, she'll be back in a month's time.
One month?
Then, in other words, I still have to eat packed lunch for another month?
Miss Xue
Are you feeling embarrassed about getting free food like this?
Yes, yes, since I am not doing anything to deserve it. How can I be such a freeloader?
My mom told me to think twice before eating, and even now, my face is already starting to grow wider.
And I am starting to feel really depressed.
Since you are so embarrassed,
you can do something to earn your lunch.
Help me pick out the carrot slices from this dish and also the capsicum slices from this one.
Pick them all out.
Do it carefully.
Just like the other day when you picked out the coriander.
After all, I am a Finance Assistant.
Although I didn't graduate from a prestigious university, I am still a university graduate.
Now, I've reduced to being a vegetable picker.
Can I just not eat packed lunch?
I'm done picking.
Where are you going?
Did I say you can take it to eat elsewhere?
- But, if I eat it here, I'll be disrupting your work... - Eat here.
- But Boss... - I don't like to repeat myself.
Xue Shan Shan, you are eating so fast, are you in a hurry to leave?
No, no, no. Not at all.
Your eating speed must be the same as mine.
I've been so careful, yet you still saw right through me.
You are a Boss indeed, nothing can escape your discerning eyes.
How come there's still some left?! Sorry, sorry, sorry.
It seems, the only thing you can do well is eat.
I can do well in a lot of things!
I can also sleep, also daydream, I can also have a crush on someone.
Boss, the agenda for this afternoon's meeting, I'll just put it here on the table.
You both enjoy your meal. I'll leave first.
Okay.
Xue Shan Shan is having lunch with the Boss. If nothing important, do not disturb.
Time to leave work!
Leaving work! Leaving work!
Time to leave work...
Time to leave work!
Bye bye.
You've worked so hard. See you tomorrow.
No worries. See you tomorrow. See you...
Are you okay?
I'm okay. I'm okay...
- Shan Shan, you leaving now? - Yes.
- See you! - See you!
- Shan Shan, leaving already? - Shan Shan, take care!
- Shan Shan, Shan Shan, leaving now? - See you! - Bye bye!
- Bye bye. - See you! - Shan Shan, see you!
(Text:) "I heard you had lunch with Boss. What happened? See you at the building entrance after work."
So this is why.
Even Du Fan knows!
My God! The power of this rumour mill is so scary!
So fast it has spread to the whole company!
So scary! So scary...
Long story short, I was there to pick vegetables, not to have lunch with Boss.
I have to make myself clear.
I don't understand this Feng Teng.
He can make his secretary do these things.
- Whatever he doesn't like, he can tell his chef not to cook. - That's right.
- Why does he make you pick out vegetables for him? - Exactly.
Have a bite.
Rich people nowadays have weird ways of thinking.
Mr. Handsome, you're acting pretty weird yourself.
You address your Boss by his first name, huh?
I... That depends on my mood!
If I'm in a good mood, I'll call him Little Teng or maybe Teng Teng.
Shan Shan, if you ask me, you shouldn't mind so much.
Also, it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Besides, lots of people would be eager to pick vegetables for the Big Boss.
You donated blood just once and he has treated you lunch so many times.
He's just returning the favour, you can just let him.
I really don't feel that Boss is helping me at all.
Because of this situation,
I have so many co-workers pushing me for favours
and I am under so much pressure.
Even if I jump into Huangpu River, I can't wash myself off this mess.
I support you! You know your own innocence.
I'm very heavy to support. I'm being fed pork liver everyday.
You see how fat my face is. I can squeeze out oil!
- I'll help you catch it then. - Why is he still offline?
I can't get past this level.
I'll find him on QQ.
You guys have progressed enough to be QQ friends?
Of course! It is a must!
So sour!
What a coincidence!
My online friend is also messaging me on QQ.
You play games too?
It's just that... after work, I'm all by myself so I play when I feel like it.
Amazing!
She even knows that I'm hanging out at a friend's place.
I'll reply to her.
- The heavenly king overpowers the earthly tiger? - Chicken-mushroom stew! (Speaking in secret codes)
- You are "Understated Prosperity"? - You... you are "Happiness from Water"?
Wow! What drama is this?
Is a virtual romance from the cyberworld becoming a reality?
I've been waiting for you for so long!
Have mercy, my heroine!
- You... You choose your friends over your girlfriend! - No, no, not true!
I'll beat you to death!
I've come a long way from home to Shanghai, joined Feng Teng Group and met Qi Shuai.
Is this considered fate?
He's a director, I'm an assistant.
We are like a star in the sky and an ape on the ground. (Word play: "xīngxing" can mean "star" or "ape)
Him fancying me would truly be a miracle.
I believe in miracles, but I don't believe that miracles can happen to me.
Xue Shan Shan! What are you thinking?
♫ Love --- it's a complicated game ♫
♫ Once invested, you're afraid to lose ♫
♫ If the purpose from the start was to eventually separate ♫
♫ It's destined to be an ending without a conclusion ♫
♫ Knowing full well that with you, there is no winner or loser ♫
♫ But I think of you, I can't help it ♫
♫ I heart-achingly tell myself ♫
♫ I should forget about such a relationship ♫
♫ I still think of you, always involuntarily ♫
♫ Fully aware that I'm lying to myself ♫
♫ But I still can't summon up the courage ♫
♫ To say I love you ♫
♫ Love you ♫
