Ms. Meili (美丽)

Almost done.

You want to piss me off, don't you?

OK, OK, I"m finished

You waste your time doing nothing,

Tell me, what's the point of this game?

To kill time.

Piece of shit.

Eh, aren't these all your clothes?

None of your business, wring them out.

Put them here. Hurry up.

What"s the hurry?

Look, still so much soap on them.

Why is that?

Didn't I just tell you to rinse them?

Well, they're still covered in soap.

Come on, I'm running late.

OK, OK, what's the rush?

Geez!

It's annoying watching you do that.

All right, all right.

C'mon, finish wringing these out.

Are you all right? Everything ok?

I'm not feeling well.

Then why did you drink so much?

Forget it.

Can I have an IV drip?

Will it help? Did you take any medicine?

Yes, I did. With an IV, I'll be better tomorrow.

Fine, your call!

You already have a bottle ready.

Yeah.

Where were you? How much did you drink?

I don't even know, my boss was an idiot.

I said no, but she kept making me toast.

In the end I couldn't take any more and you know what my boss said?

What?

She said, "I'm so ashamed of you. You're such a light weight."

At that point I was…

She is an idiot, why did you go out with her?

Couldn't you say no?

What could I do, I had no choice.

You knew what sort of company it was.

Did you think I wanted to drink?

If you didn't want to, you should have just said no.

What could she do?

Well. Not much.

But I wouldn't have been able to survive in this company any longer.

It's tough enough. Why don't you understand me?

No, I don't understand you.

It's hard enough to survive in that office.

And as soon as I'm home, you start nagging me.

I came back as soon as you called.

Can't you just be nice to me?

You're always like this. How can I be nice to you?

You complain about aches and pains all the time…

And yet you want to be promoted.

I don't want to hear about it.

You think I want to suffer?

Don't you care about my pain?

Always like this.

If I don't care about you, why would I come back?

Make a fist.

There's no rubber band.

I haven't done this for a while, I'm not quite sure how to.

Where's the cotton bud?

Have you squeezed it?

Yes.

Too small. The veins are too small.

Press harder.

Come on!

Ah, I can't get the vein.

Have you had dinner?

Not really.

What do you want to eat?

I'll cook for you.

I don't feel like eating.

Be careful!

Is it OK?

OK.

It's too small.

Even a nurse couldn't do this.

Are you taking tomorrow off? Don't go to work.

No, I have to go.

And leave at 7am as usual?

Yes.

Gosh.

I feel like I'm dying.

You look pale.

Well, now…

It's all right, I'll be fine after I had some sleep.

Can you sleep?

Yes.

I still have some laundry left, I'll go and do it.

Lie down here.

By the way, everything's almost settled for our Shanghai trip.

OK, that's good.

Stay in bed.

Sis, the customer didn't want this dress. Can I have it?

No.

The customer called saying she didn't want it.

Well, I can't just give the clothes that the customer doesn't want.

to any employee that wants them?

All right, since you've been doing well…

Fill in a form and sign it later.

Thank you, Sis.

That's ok

I'll go back to work.

Sure.

What about your trip to Shanghai?

I haven't decided yet.

What's the problem?

I don't have any savings,

or qualifications.

After I arrive...

I have to first find a place to live.

and then a job.

There are so many things to take care of.

Shanghai is a big city, anyway.

You're still young, get out and chase your dream.

Don't stay here working at dry-cleaners.

Go find a job there with food and accommodation included.

Save up a bit of money.

That would be pretty good, right?

Is there such a job?

Definitely, but go there and see first.

You don't even try. It's no use struggling now.

I think Shanghai is good.

What's good about it?

At least it's better than here.

It's a big city anyway.

Isn't it stressful in the big city?

The higher the stress, the more determined we are.

You have no stress here?

Sis, I'd like to ask you something.

Is it OK if I take some time off?

Where are you going?

I haven't decided yet, just wanted to ask.

What are the rules on annual leave?

What's the longest period I can take?

A week at the most.

A week?

Yes.

OK, I see, sis.

Hello, Meili?

What?

Well, I can't pay Nana's kindergarten tuition.

Give me 1,000 Yuan, I really can't afford it.

It's none of my business.

Are you human? You don't even pay her tuition!

I'm not human, are you goddamn human?

Listen. I am not paying.

And don't bother me again.

Who will if you don't pay?

Fine, I won't bother you again.

Let's have a proper talk about it

Come over to my place and we'll talk.

Let's not be so stubborn.

Get everything done, OK?

Face to face. Let's talk.

Listen. It's the last time I come over.

And the last time we talk about this.

So let's settle things today.

Don't bother me anymore.

Here, Meili, come in.

My sister-in-law.

You haven't eaten yet, right?

Say what you want to say.

Later, eat first. Here, let me serve you.

I don't want to eat, just say it.

I'm still cooking, go and sit over there.

Come on, let me serve you.

Hurry up!

Come and eat first.

Take some, let's talk after the meal.

Come on! Have some.

Don't touch me!

This is donkey meat Han Ge brought.

Come on! Have a bite.

No.

What's the matter?

What do you mean?

Why don't you show me some respect?

What's wrong with you?

So annoying!

It's the way she is, nothing I can do.

Her entire family knows her temper.

Always giving me damn trouble.

I just want a damn drink.

I have to take care of every fucking one in this house.

Her sister and the kid. They treat me like shit.

Take it easy! Easy!

Say what?

What the fuck are you talking about?

Can you hurry, sister?

You eat first. I'm almost finished here.

What? Can't you just come and eat. Damn it.

No, how many times do I have to say it.

Look at her. Fuck off!

What the hell? It's just a dinner.

I got some food for her, and she is fucking sick of me.
