Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

Hello?

I asked around.

VP Bao's girlfriend can't work miracles.

I heard

the sample was eliminated.

VP Bao didn't do any favors for his girlfriend.

That's enough. I just heard it was approved.

Who has more authority: your boss or your QC manager?

The boss just needs to say one word to approve it.

- Really? - Of course.

In that case, it's such a mystery.

Our company's QC manager usually gets the last say.

He has the authority.

That would depend on who the boss's girlfriend is.

All right, I'll continue to keep an eye on it.

- That's all then. Bye. - Bye.

Mrs. Wei sows seeds of discord.

I didn't think she'd start causing trouble with you.

She's shameless.

I am not someone who believes every rumor I hear.

Mrs. Wei called me two days ago and said

Andie is a homewrecker and after men's money.

I was shocked when I heard that.

- I didn't dare believe it. - Exactly.

I've met her before. She seems quite pure.

She doesn't seem like the type to have no sense of morals.

I had this investigated right away.

It's said Mrs. Wei went to her company a while ago to hunt a mistress.

Prior to that, Wei Guo Qiang had visited her company repeatedly

and even left from her office in a shabby state.

Mom, you have to trust your first impression of her.

Things aren't like that. It's complicated.

I'll find a suitable time later to explain it all to you. Okay?

I don't want an explanation. I just want your decision.

What relationship do Andie and Wei Guo Qiang have?

No, I--

Why would Wei Guo Qiang leave such a big portion of his inheritance to her?

That's... I...

- You can't explain, can you? - No, it's...

Other than Andie being his lover, could there be any other explanation?

What lover?

This Andie is too calculating.

She pretended to be innocent when she met me

and even pretended to be embarrassed when she shook my hand.

Then she turns around and reels in a big sum from Wei Guo Qiang.

If a woman like that joins our Bao household

wouldn't she empty out our entire family's coffers?

Mom, what are you thinking?

She's not pretending to be innocent. She is innocent!

That inheritance is what Mr. He Senior left for Andie.

It has nothing to do with Wei Guo Qiang.

Besides, do you think everybody is after our family's money?

Let me put it this way for you. Andie has tons of money.

She doesn't care about our family's cents.

- Are you still my son? - How am I not?

Are you still my son?

Andie returned to the country just last year.

Did Mr. He Senior know who she was?

A few years ago, a few young vixens tried to seduce your father.

- What wouldn't they do for money? - Why are you talking about this again?

To these gold diggers, any amount of money is still money.

Don't compare Andie to those women.

She's not the same. She's not a gold digger.

Fine, say I have poor judgment. Would Tan Zong Ming?

- Tan Zong Ming hired her from the US... - You reminded me.

How many women rely on their own abilities to get to a high position?

She's capable.

Andie seems like a genie, one who can accomplish anything.

But do you really know her?

What relationship does she have CEO Tan? Why does CEO Tan favor her so much?

She plays a bigger game than other women.

Mom, you're getting more and more absurd.

Andie is not the type of woman you're talking about!

Let's go back to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei was solely focused on getting the inheritance but ended up failing.

She has now gone crazy and lost all reason.

If she could take down Andie, she would do anything.

Her word cannot be trusted.

- Am I to trust Andie instead? - Of course!

What wouldn't a woman like Andie do?

- You're going too far. - Fine, listen to me.

Cut off all ties with her.

Bao Bao, you are my only son.

How can I watch as you fall for that vixen's spell?

- What vixen? - What?

- What? - You're fighting with me because of her?

- What fighting? - Aren't you fighting with me right now?

Mom, can you not keep saying vixen?

Insulting Andie is as good as insulting me, your son.

Andie is very important to me.

I love her. I know her. She is a simple woman.

And one last thing.

I am the one who keeps pestering her. She's not the one pursuing me.

Please respect her and respect me.

Can you stop making those baseless conjectures?

All right, I'll respect you!

Hello, is there a Ms. Fan Sheng Mei here?

- She's over there. - Thank you.

Wow, what a big bouquet of flowers.

Hello, are you Ms. Fan Sheng Mei?

- Yes, I am. - These are flowers for you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, these are such beautiful white roses.

It's different to be beautiful.

- She gets flowers in the morning. - That's right.

Chen Jia Kang? Who's that?

Oh, just a client of mine.

He made a big profit with the financial plan I made for him.

The flowers are probably to thank me.

Is that the one who came looking for you last time?

He looked and dressed very refined and elegant.

He seemed to be around 30 years old.

You remember quite well.

You can tell from a glance Mr. Chen is a decent man.

When those sly men shake hands with me

they would use both hands and grope my whole hand.

But Mr. Chen is different. He looked like such a gentleman.

I say, Mr. Chen must like you.

When most people express thanks, they promise to treat you to dinner

or refer a few friends.

There are very few who send fresh flowers.

And they're white roses!

Sheng Mei, is Mr. Chen single?

How would I know? I never asked him.

Why don't you consider him?

Quit it. I have a boyfriend.

So what, Sheng Mei?

- Replace him. - Exactly.

Boyfriends? In this age, as long as you're not married, it doesn't matter.

Enough, stop teasing me. Get back to work. We're not off yet.

Okay, okay.

Our son Bao Bao is such a fine, young and handsome man.

He could have any woman he wants.

Yet, he's infatuated with Andie. He won't listen to anything I say.

Andie isn't a simple woman.

She could manipulate Wei Guo Qiang into giving her the inheritance.

She is no ordinary woman.

If she marries Bao Bao and enters our household

what if she secretly transfers all our assets under her name?

You're worrying too much.

Our son isn't some young and inexperienced boy.

He's had many girlfriends and a wealth of experience with women.

How could he be tricked so easily?

Besides, Mrs. Wei is in the middle of a divorce with Wei Guo Qiang.

It's normal that she's emotional. She may not be trustworthy.

Okay, but the inheritance issue is true.

If she has no relationship with Wei Guo Qiang

why would such a big inheritance end up with her?

That can't be explained, can it?

Didn't our son already explain?

There's more to the story that outsiders don't know.

Andie already told him, but it's just not something he can tell you.

Would I not know our son?

What sort of woman has he not seen before? That he can't see through?

He knows women better than I do. Don't you worry about that.

So you're saying I should stay out of it and do nothing?

Before we understand the whole story, don't do anything.

Our son is grown up. He has his own way of looking at things.

He will eventually figure out what kind of woman Andie is.

You keep griping to him about this and that.

If you push the wrong button one day

he might do something recklessly and give you a major shock.

Would you be able to bear it?

You are reasonable.

I'll listen to you for now and see how things unfold.

Still, our son is too young.

I'll have to find a chance to get some information on her.

Where are you going after work?

We're going to the bar. Come with us.

I envy you! I can't go. I'm so busy.

You never come out with us.

After investigating again, the business referred by VP Bao's girlfriend

really didn't go through.

The sample wasn't approved.

VP Bao really didn't change his mind because of his girlfriend.

Hello?

Sheng Mei, your sources are wrong.

No way. Who did you hear it from?

When I was at lunch

I asked the QC manager in person.

He said he himself spoke to VP Bao's girlfriend

and explained the reason

so she wouldn't resent VP Bao.

In any case, the deal didn't go through.

Nevertheless, your information was pretty good.

The business really was referred by VP Bao's girlfriend.

What else do you know?

Tell me.

What else would I know?

Just... VP Bao likes his girlfriend a lot

and he was the one who pursued her.

Is there anything else?

Something more scandalous?

I'm not a private investigator.

How's this? I'll tell you first thing if I hear any gossip in the future.

That's a deal.

- Bye. - Bye.

- You guys can go on ahead. - Okay, bye.

Bye, Sheng Mei.
