Boss & Me
Episode 12
Last time Feng Teng was in America, secrecy was crucial, so we couldn't tell anyone, including you.
We made you very worried and scared, sorry about that.
I've been waiting for a chance to apologise to you.
Who says I was scared?!
You weren't scared or worried? Then shall we just say ... you were a little tense?
Shan Shan and Zheng Qi seem to enjoy talking to each other.
Yes, Shan Shan has always been very easy to get along with.
Easy to get along ...
That doesn't make her special enough for you to bring her to celebrate the New Year at your family home, does it?
Our family is pretty small. Having her here makes it a little more lively, doesn't it?
You know, I've always thought that the kind of woman you like would be similar to Auntie ...
Elegant, beautiful, multitalented ...
Also with outstanding business acumen.
Someone as outstanding as my mother ... How many such women are there in this world?
You know, when it comes to matters of the heart, I like to just go with the flow.
Be careful, let me help you.
- Let's fish! Come, Li Shu, be careful, this way, this way, ... - Let's fish!
- Slowly, slowly, ... Here you go! - Let me set up the fishing line for you.
What about Shan Shan?
- Shan Shan! - Here, this one's for you, let's fish together.
Thanks.
Do you know how to fish?
No.
Then, go over there and pick radishes.
He's impossible!
If you guys want to fish, just fish! Why are you dictating how I spend my time?
Making a tiny woman like me pick radishes in such a cold weather.
Finally! I did it!
Forget it, forget it!
Right now, I'm a freeloader ... I eat his food, stay at his place, and sleep under his roof.
Even the air ticket is paid for by him.
I'll just have to deal with these stubborn radishes for him as repayment.
No, I will destroy these radishes!
Come out!
You've been at it for so long, and yet only managed to picked so few?
The radishes are really stubborn, I pulled and pulled, but they won't even budge.
Xue Shan Shan
You were the one who said you don't know how to fish.
Then I can learn.
Didn't you say ...
you don't like to "use a long line to catch a big fish"? (Idiom: A long-term plan for major outcome)
Now, I'm interested.
Alright?
Then, do you want to send a signal to those people who are fishing right there?
Hold this.
You have to let everyone know that this fish pond is now under your ownership.
♫ 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? ♫
Li Shu!
Stop.
Don't you feel dizzy walking back and forth? You are making me dizzy!
Ever since you got back this afternoon, you've been ill-at-ease, so what's wrong?
There's nothing wrong, I'm just casually walking around to lose a bit of weight.
Right now, what you seem to be trying to lose is your heartache.
Li Shu
What is wrong with you today?
I feel that you weren't very kind to Shan Shan.
Didn't you say before that you thought of her as your own sister?
When was I unkind to her?
It's just that, when I asked Shan Shan back then, she explicitly told me that she didn't like Feng Teng.
But now, it's only been a few days, and she's all the way here at his family residence.
I'm just very surprised, that's all.
- Shan Shan told you that she didn't like my brother? - Yes!
Li Shu, let me ask you something, and you need to answer me honestly.
If you don't say anything right now, I'm afraid you'll never get another chance.
What is it?
You're in love with my brother?
So what if I'm in love with him?
There was never a time when I didn't love him.
So you really like my brother?!
Then how come you never told me?
I still remember ... when we were in high school, wasn't it?
Yes, when we were in high school, I used to joke about the two of you, and you even scolded me about it!
- You ... - That was because my mom was always against it.
Auntie Fang?!
No way! Auntie Fang loves my brother!
That's not the point.
Despite how close we are to your family, she has always felt that she's just a nanny.
If Feng Teng and I were together, people would've felt that ...
my family is using their daughter to get into the Feng family's social circle.
When did my family ever care about such things? You really think too much!
Besides, you're not just the daughter of a nanny anymore.
Do you still remember what the Shanghai media said about you just recently?
They called you the most beautiful and cultured star of Shanghai.
How can you not be a good match for my brother?
You've always been by his side, always following him around wherever he goes ...
You didn't even speak up for your own future, I really admire your self-control.
For this kind of thing, how can a girl be the one to speak up first?
In the war of love, the person confesses first is the one that loses the war.
I won't say anything, I'll let you tell him yourself.
You could've at least dropped him a hint, right?
Today is the very first time I realize that you've always had feelings for my brother.
You've kept your feelings hidden all too well!
Then tell me ... What kind of hints did Xue Shan Shan give Feng Teng?
If Feng Teng really likes someone, he'll surely make a move!
Of course, my hope is that Feng Teng would make the move because he likes me,
not just because he notices that I like him.
Okay! Fine! If you treasure your dignity that much, just stay by his side and let your life revolve around him!
When he ends up marrying someone else, I'll tell you that you deserve it.
It's not about what I deserve, it's about fate.
If it was meant to me, I'll just have to accept it.
Let me tell you ...
Please don't tell Feng Teng what I've just told you, you hear me?
If you tell him, I'll go away ... I'll disappear right before your eyes!
Are you okay?
I'm fine! He's not that unforgettable, it's not the end of the world.
To be honest, I'm probably just not used to the fact that the girl Feng Teng likes turned out to be Xue Shan Shan.
If it were any of his previous socialite girlfriends, I would've been fine.
Why did it have to be Xue Shan Shan?
Feng Teng, why don't you let her go home first? We don't know when we'll be done with our dinner.
Yes, yes, you should go home, they have me here to help out.
Okay, go back and rest early. Happy Chinese New Year.
Thank you, Sir, Happy Chinese New Year. Sir and Miss, Happy Chinese New Year.
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. Good night.
Here we go! Dinner is served!
Uncle Wang!
You should go home and celebrate the New Year.
Miss Xue, I've been spending Chinese New Year at the Feng household for half my life.
S-sorry.
Uncle Wang, there are no outsiders here any longer, please sit.
Please sit, Uncle Wang, let's all celebrate this year's New Year as one big happy family!
- Thank you, thank you. - Uncle Wang, please take a seat!
- Thank you. - No problem, please sit.
Shan Shan, my apologies, we're making you eat this year's New Year's Eve family dinner with us,
but we don't even know whether our food would suit your taste.
But our Feng family's vegetables are the freshest of all!
Also, whoever eats the radishes tonight must thank Shan Shan
because she picked them all by herself!
Ms. Feng, although all the radishes are picked by me, after all, they still belong to the Feng family.
So, Miss Feng, ...
I'm so sad! Why are you still calling me Ms. Feng?
Shan Shan, last time you spent your New Year back at home, who did you celebrate with?
New Year celebration back at home? There were so many people!
Every year, our New Year's Eve dinner would include my dad, my mom, and my eldest uncle, and also my grandpa,
also my elder cousin Liu Liu and my eldest aunt, we would all eat together!
Every year, my younger cousin Tong Tong would ask for "lucky money" (money as New Year's gift) from me.
- He would always ask me ... - Let's eat. - Yes, yes, let's eat.
Uncle Wang, we must make this very talkative person go home tomorrow.
- So noisy! - Okay.
What's wrong with you guys? When you say 'one happy family', you include only yourselves!
None of you includes me in your well wishes!
Am I not homeless as well? I only have you guys to celebrate the New Year with!
You also don't have your family here? Then why don't you go back home to celebrate the New Year?
Shan Shan, ignore him. His parents are in America.
They only celebrate western holidays like Christmas.
Zheng Qi, not that I want to pick on you, but why didn't we get any Christmas gifts from you this year?
- Did you get anything? - No, I didn't.
- What about you? - No, nothing.
And you still have the nerve to continue being a freeloader and have New Year dinner with us? You're impossible!
Haven't I earned these benefits by following Feng Teng all the way back to Shanghai?
- If not for me, where do you think he'll be? - Don't pay him any salary, okay?
Eat, eat, eat!
- Come, eat this. - Try this one, I made it. - You made this?
- Yes, it's my own creation, taste it. - Actually, Uncle Wang made it. - You can't lie to me.
- This is definitely the best hotpot! - Definitely.
- Let me do it, let me do it. - Let me do it!
Shan Shan!
- Don't be so eager to prove you're such a "manly woman"! (slang: feminine on the outside but strong on the inside) - No, I don't mean to! But he's so clumsy.
Let me tell you, Big Boss Feng.
It is now 2014, and you're still messing around with charcoal stove to warm yourself!
Can't you get a high-tech heating furnace or something?
With this old stove of yours, it's so much hard work for me!
You talk too much.
She's the one who talks too much.
You're right.
- Li Shu! Where's Auntie Fang? - You're all here!
She doesn't feel like getting out of the house today, so she's not coming.
Auntie Fang hasn't come outside for years.
Yan Qing and I will go and see her later.
- How is her health these days? - Same as before ... coughing as usual.
No matter how much I persuade her, she's refusing to go to a hospital.
Then, Auntie Fang is refusing to make herself better.
In that case, when we visit her later on, we'll bring along some tonic for her.
It's New Year's Eve! Let's not just sit around.
Why don't we all dance?
Listen to my instruction carefully, okay?
Right foot back.
It's alright.
Come, right foot back.
Left foot.
Right foot.
I'm sorry.
Listen carefully.
Right foot.
I'm sorry.
Right foot back.
- Left. - Right.
Big Boss Feng, you need a gentler touch when teaching a girl. With you looking so stern, how can she learn anything?
Come, let me teach her.
I'll teach you.
Come, first move ... On your left foot, okay? One, two, three.
- I'm sorry. - Never mind, never mind, let's start again.
Yes, just like that!
- Let's work on that turn, okay? One, two, three. - One, two, three.
I'm sorry, so sorry.
Never mind.
Let me give it a try.
- Go ahead. - Come, let's swap partners.
Are you ready?
Come.
Big Boss can dance very well.
At the Annual Gala, the scene of him dancing with Zhou Xiao Wei was so beautiful to watch.
Dancing really is the most evil talent created by the Gods.
The dance floor belongs only to attractive men and women.
Unfortunately, I'm a sinner trying to be where she shouldn't be, and an idiot who can't even commit the sin properly.
- Sorry! - It's okay, Shan Shan, don't be discouraged.
Let me tell you ...
Feng Yue had to train me for more than half a year before I could roughly follow the footwork of this dance.
How about this ... After Chinese New Year, I'll introduce you to my dance teacher.
- How about that? - No need, no need.
If I ended up stamping on the dance teacher's foot and breaking his toes, it would be even worse.
How much will such a dance class cost? My already-small savings can't afford any extra expenses!
In fact, the way you're feeling right now is very similar to the way I used to feel.
Back then, I used to think ... I'm so ordinary, so mediocre ... How can I ever be a good match for Feng Yue?
But, as time went by, I began to realize that Feng family is very nice and unsophisticated in their ways.
Also, the two siblings will never make a huge fuss over family matters.
Shan Shan, I believe wholeheartedly that you'll be fine. Keep trying.
Come on.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize that Shan Shan would be such a foot-stamping queen.
I shouldn't have suggested dancing.
But it's been such a long time since we danced like this.
I still remember your parents teaching us our first dance.
No one could dance as elegantly as Auntie did.
Although I kept practicing, I could never match up to Auntie's grace and poise.
I realize that I got my talent for dancing from my mother.
My father once told me that he didn't really like dancing.
He only danced so that he could share this experience with my mother.
I've always felt that when it comes to dancing, it doesn't really matter how you dance.
What matters most is whom you dance with.
How come I never knew that Li Shu dances so well?
She is very headstrong, just like my brother.
She strives to be No. 1 in whatever she does.
You have no idea how many pairs of shoes she has destroyed from practicing dance.
Be confident. Don't keep looking at your feet. Keep your head up.
Very good, very good.
Yue Yue, you guys are not staying here tonight?
Normally, we would have stayed here, but tonight's situation is quite unusual.
Yan Qing is leaving for America tomorrow.
It's New Year's Day, so of course, I can't let him go all by himself.
So tomorrow, I'll be flying off together with him.
So now, we're going to Yan Qing's parents' house and leaving our little son with them for the night.
That will give the grandparents some time to be close to him before we leave, and make them happy.
Then, what about Li Shu and Zheng Qi? Where are they?
Li Shu has to go home to keep Auntie Fang company.
Zheng Qi is staying at the lakeside cabin. You don't need to worry about him.
Later on, just let him send Li Shu home.
Shan Shan
Have fun, okay?
Alright, let's go! We still have to visit Auntie Fang on the way.
We should be on our way now, let's go.
Have a nice trip!
Even if you guys are not worried about the Big Boss bullying me,
you should be worried that I won't be able to stop myself from pouncing on him!
It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and yet he has none of his loved ones by his side.
Even someone as cold and detached as the Big Boss must be feeling quite lonely.
Big Boss
On this festive and auspicious day, what should we do?
What do you feel like doing?
I ... I ... I want ...
I want to watch the Spring Festival Gala!
Here.
Very good! The Gala has just begun!
With the Spring Festival Gala on TV, even if we don't talk to each other, it won't be so awkward!
Thank goodness, the Spring Festival Gala exists in this world!
Oh yes! Fruits! We should have a plate of fruits in front of us.
If our mouths are busy eating, there will be even less need for us to talk!
Xue Shan Shan, as you grow older, your intelligence also grows by leaps and bounds!
I'm going to cut some fruits!
(Text:) "Happy Chinese New Year."
Here we go ... Fruits!
I just received a text message.
Is this his way of making meaningless conversation?
Someone wishes me a "Happy Chinese New Year".
That's normal, right?
Every Chinese New Year or during other festivals, I also receive a lot of texts of well-wishes.
Not to mention, you're the Big Boss,
so of course, there are bound to be a lot of people buttering you up and wanting your attention.
But wait.
I seem to have forgotten about something ...
Oh ya!
Didn't you lose your cell phone?
The text is sent automatically at the specified time.
Did you send this to everyone?
No.
I sent it only to you.
What's going on?
Why is he acting as if I've been spam-texting him?
Is this supposed to be an interrogation?
Xue Shan Shan
Is this also part of your "playing hard to get to captivate me" routine?
You are the one who tried to captivate me first.
Although you appear to be cold and detached, I can clearly see the tenderness you feel towards me.
You are the one who kept on giving me hope.
- Why have you suddenly decided to turn the table now and ask me all these questions? - You ... !
Let me tell you something ...
I'm enticing you to explore deeper.
I don't understand what you're saying.
Feng Teng
I ...
I've never been in love.
I also don't know how being in love is supposed to feel.
Before the company's Annual Gala, I obviously have never even thought about these things.
But afterwards ...
I began to realize ...
When I didn't get to see you, I felt very lost.
When you were waiting for me outside the police station, I felt so ashamed.
When you brought me to your home to celebrate the New Year and let me join all of you for the family dinner,
although I felt rather uncomfortable about it, I also felt very happy.
I don't know how to dance, but I can learn.
Even when I don't know your password, I'm willing to tell you mine.
So I believe ...
I like you.
So ...
When you look at me,
do you see me as someone you can like?
It's okay.
Then ...
I wish you a Happy Chinese New Year.
♫ 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 ♫
♫ This love is too strong, it allows no hesitation ♫
- Xue Shan Shan, let's give it a try. ♫ Whether my heart can fill all the emptiness ♫

Move.
It's your move.
Moving this pawn here.
You're copying my moves!
Which one shall I move?
Wait a minute!
Xue Shan Shan
Why are you making your horse move like a crab? It can also move sideways?!
I don't want to play anymore! I can never beat you.
Let's play Western chess! I play it on my phone all the time.
I can definitely beat you. I'll beat you!
Bishop takes Knight.
Checkmate.
What does that mean?
I just checkmated you.
Come here.
I don't want to play anymore!
- Let's play checkers, okay? I'm awesome at checkers! - Nobody plays checkers in my household.
We should calm down for a bit. Let's read something.
(Poem)
How come this author is just like Shan Shan? They both really love eating!
He even wrote a poem about lychee.
I can only remember one verse about eating lychee.
Listen up.
(Poem)
Both poems are about lychee and eating.
But compared to my poem, yours is simply pathetic!
Xue Shan Shan, yours is the pathetic one!
Why does our Shan Shan have such a big head?
Your head is just as big.
What are you looking at?
Your Knight is already here.
It was moved wrongly just now, it was a mistake! Let's move it back to previous position.
Okay then, now it's your move.
- Which one shall I move? This one! - That's good.
So I can take your pawn.
Okay, okay, so I'll move this here.
Feng Teng, come here, come here.
Daddy is going to lose!
Hurry, hurry, help me! Daddy is about to lose. Help me make the next move.
Look, which one shall we move? Take that one!
- You two! Ganging up to bully me! - We're awesome! Give me five! Awesome!
That's ... Using my son against me, that's not okay!
Why do I keep thinking of my beautiful childhood memories today?
Thinking of naughty things you did as a little boy?
Let's read.
Feng Teng
Can I ask you a question?
Go ahead.
You ...
When did you fall in love with me?
Around the same time as when I started to realize that you're not as stupid as you seem to be.
It must be on the New Year's Eve ...
When we were watching the fireworks together.
- Miss Xue, Happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
Miss Xue, quickly go and have your breakfast. Mr. Feng is already there with the "red packets"! (Money wrapped in red envelope as a gift)
- Red packets? Do I get one too? - I'm sure you do!
On the 1st day of every lunar year, Mr. Feng would give red packets to all of us.
Miss Xue, why would you not get one as well?
That's right! I'm also one of Feng Teng's employees, right?
Of course, I'm going to get a red packet too!
Big Boss!
Happy Chinese New Year! May all your wishes come true!
May you have a prosperous New Year! May I have a red ... ? (Continued: May I have the red packet, please?)
Come here.
You stand in my house and use those pleading eyes on me ...
How is that proper?
Happy Chinese New Year.
May you have a prosperous New Year.
Thank you.
Uncle Wang!
- Can you please put all the New Year goods into the car? - Yes, sir.
What's inside?
I have work to do in a while, so I can't send you off. I'll ask someone to drive you.
You should go and do your work.
Happy Chinese New Year.
Miss Xue, here is a cell phone for you from the Big Boss.
He asked me to tell you that, after the New Year holidays, he'll buy you a new one, and get you a new SIM card as well.
Miss Xue, this way.
What is this?
Isn't this the ID tag that I gave to Ms. Feng?
And what is this?
(On Card:) "Xue Shan Shan, Blood type: AB-Rh Negative Emergency contact person: Feng Teng Contact number: 13761958615"
"Feng Teng"?
He wants me to keep this?
I should probably still write "Big Boss" on it instead of his name.
I'm really not used to these changes.
Shan Shan, have you reached the airport?
Yes, and I've already checked in. I'm now waiting to board.
The gifts that you've prepared for my family are really too luxurious!
I'm only doing what I should do.
And also, about the ID tag you've prepared for me ...
Hang it on your bag now. And make sure you take care of it, okay?
By the way, I've arranged for someone to pick you up when you get there.
Okay.
The emergency contact person on the ID tag has been changed from my dad's name to yours.
It feels really strange, I'm not used to it.
Then, from now on, you have to slowly get used to it.
Got it?
Let me know when you reach home.
What's matter with the fish in this lake? Maybe even the fish have become snobbish?
Maybe they know that you are the Big Boss, and have decided to run to your side.
I'm starting to feel quite lonely here.
When it comes to fishing, I wouldn't dare to argue against your expertise.
What's the use of being an expert in fishing?
A fishing expert cannot direct the Cupid's arrow.
Why are you talking to me in such a roundabout way today?
Get to the point.
Feng Teng
Don't tell me you can't see that Li Shu likes you?
Are you kidding?
- She is a sister to me. - Sister?!
- But she doesn't see you as a brother. - That's because you don't know what you're talking about.
Li Shu has already told me that there's someone she likes, and that he's a lot like me, and that he's out of her reach but she can't stop herself from liking him ...
Go ahead, continue describing him.
Fine! Just keep your wishful thinking that Li Shu just likes some guy similar to you, Mr. Handsome and Talented.
Thank you, Xiao Li!
- Shan Shan, you're back! - Hello, Li Shen! Yes, I'm back! - Miss Xue, you're too modest.
- Let me help you with this. I feel so bad. - No need, no need.
It's okay, Miss Xue, there's no need to be so polite, we're all colleagues anyway.
Dad! Mom!
- Shan Shan is back! - Shan Shan! You're back! - I'm back!
- Dad! - My baby girl! My baby girl!
Shan Shan, who's this?
This is Xiao Li, he sent me back.
- Please come in and have a seat! Come in, come in. - Please come in and have a seat!
- It's okay. I'll just take my leave then, Miss Xue. - Thank you!
- So polite! Take care, take care! - Thank you!
- You go inside first. Let me handle this. - It's heavy, there's a lot of stuff inside.
- Let me take this one. You take this. Let me, let me. - Okay, okay. - Let me help you carry it!
Where did you get this much amount of stuff? What is all this anyway?
It's just that I got quite a bit of year-end bonus, so on my way back, I just bought some presents for everyone.
- You, you! You only know how to waste money. - It's alright, it's alright.
Your grandpa said, once you get back, we'll invite your Auntie to come by and have steamboat with us.
- Let's prepare the food together! - Okay, okay!
I haven't seen Tong Tong for such a long time, I wonder how much he has grown!
Okay, okay. Liu Liu just came back from Beijing too.
- Let's call all of them so they can come by. - That's great!
- Happy Chinese New Year! - Happy Chinese New Year!
Please eat all you like. Help yourself!
Shan Shan, what about you? Have you got a boyfriend yet?
♫ 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 ♫
