Romantic Repertoire

Where's your boss?

Upstairs.

Moon Shing-hong...

Who designed this? Who is Angus?

That's me.

Are you new here?

I've worked here for two months.

Your boss is really amazing. He sent an extra like you to brush me off.

Don't bully the junior staff.

Mr Tin Hak-kan is another boss of Full Moon Studio.

Don't think a bully has come to make trouble.

Didn't you realize that no one here was scared of him?

I was wondering what he was doing just now.

Did you see this newbie Angus' design for my friend Joe? It's really lousy.

I asked Angus to get your instructions.

Besides, you lost in a card game. So you have to renovate Joe's resort villa.

I didn't expect you would be so serious.

I agree that I lost in a landlord card game.

But this is our company’s work. I can't do a sloppy job.

Besides, I got you this project so you could train the newbies.

OK. Look at him. He's pale now. He's already scared. Draw it again.

I'll amend it accordingly.

Hong, I'm a shareholder too. You brushed me off with a newbie?

A newbie isn't necessarily lousy. Actually Angus is quite good.

You know he's a newbie. So you don't have confidence in him.

OK. I won't talk about Joe's case.

But you must personally serve my friend Mr Kam in Shanghai. He has a house there.

Is Mr Kam a politician or a tycoon?

He's one of the local gentry.

Gentry Kam?

Yes. He's way wealthier than my dad.

Most important of all, he's a very good friend of mine.

Whether I'll get ahead this time depends on whether he's happy.

No problem. We'll serve this Mr Gentry Kam like a VVIP.

You're really my trusted classmate and buddy. Look. This is for you.

Mamamiya!

VIP card with 20 percent discount.

Buy your clothes there. Their menswear is OK.

I see that. You bought the company to chase after a girl!

I bought it because the business is viable. As for Connie, I heeded your advice.

You told me not to hang out with actresses and models.

You told me to get a decent girlfriend.

You do listen to what I say.

Dad often reprimands me for keeping bad company.

He only has good things to say about you.

So if Dad talks about Mamamiya next time, please say something nice about it.

Seriously, I find Mamamiya's products quite good.

As the zone manager, Connie has brought class to the whole shop.

She's just been promoted to marketing director.

I see... Boss 'I'm, you do know how to manage people.

A competent man assumes a leading role.

Kid, don't be scared. Mr Tin Jr. was joking with you just now.

I wasn't joking. You better watch out working here.

Wow, smells so good. Forget-me-not.

Mr Tin Jr really knows women's perfume.

This perfume is perfect for you, Jessica.

Your boss has so many projects on hand.

I bet he doesn't have time to take care of my friend's resort villa.

Can you squeeze some time to monitor this newbie's work for me please?

No problem.

Your driver is waiting for you downstairs. I'll see you downstairs.

Bye, Sis Oi.

Master Hong...Master Hong... Please show yourself.

You're a designer. But don't think I can do whatever you draw.

My employees are only renovation workers. They're not sculptors.

We can't do what's drawn here.

Brother Wai, sit down and talk.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Yes, this is Contractor Wai. OK.

Let's talk at the site. What?

Who told you I only work for Full Moon?

That's not true at all.

Don't listen to other people...

Who drew this?

I did.

Irene, when will Angus' probation be over?

The end of this month.

Extend it for another three months. OK.

And you...your name?

He's Zero. Zero.

You don't need to yell. It's not plugged in.

This is the most up-to-date stock list for the lighting shop.

Take your time to study it.

Convene a regular meeting for tomorrow afternoon.

OK.

Am I really that lousy?

He hasn't fired you in the first three months.

That means he likes your work.

Actually the sales volume has increased this season

compared with the same period last year.

It's worse than last season

due to Christmas in December and then the New Year.

Sorry, Roger.

Everyone knows it's the New Year after Christmas in December.

Can we get to the main point?

OK. Simply speaking, there's Chinese New Year in February.

No one renovates a house after New Year.

It's slow after festive periods.

Also, the external economic environment is really unstable...

Roger, why don't you let someone else in the Sales Department take over, OK?

Uncle Kau, you explain the report. Be brief and concise.

Our sales turnover in the first quarter was bad.

But it improved in the second quarter.

Please refer to appendix 1B for details. That's all for the report.

Thank you.

OK. The Design Department.

OK. Jessica, why is there such a serious delay with the Village Road project?

The client's complaining fiercely.

I think you should ask Brother Wai about this.

Ask me? I want to ask you. We found you a nice wooden door.

But you told me to put some bronze sheets on it.

You wouldn't let me use nails in the bookshelf.

You wanted wooden joints.

My employees just can't complete the work on time

even if they work overtime every day.

Brother Wai, I didn't say it was your fault.

I just want to clarify the facts.

I had told Angus to tell you before the work began

that the client is very picky.

I told you to prepare for that...

Actually...

Or was Angus just focused on serving Mr Moon and ignored my instructions?

Jessica, I told you that Mr Moon wanted me to follow other projects.

I asked whether you would mind. You said it was OK.

That means this was the boss' decision, even though you're my so-called assistant.

Can I say no?

Oh, Jessica.

Actually I told Angus to tie up the loose ends

left behind by the previous designer Eric.

Those are odd jobs that you wouldn't want to work on.

OK. Since we're short on manpower. We should hire more people then.

Let's talk about this next time.

If there's nothing further, I'm going back to the site.

That's all for administration. Let's talk about your projects on hand.

I'm following the Home Ownership Scheme project right now.

Basically I'm very happy with the design, Mr Moon.

Wrong.

What did I draw wrong?

You didn't draw anything wrong. But your math is wrong. It's $188 short.

You calculated it wrong.

Mr Moon, you made me do the quotation. I'm mainly a designer.

If the price isn't right,

your design is worthless no matter how good it is.

Is there a problem with the logic of this statement?

My first client lectured me with this statement,

but I figured out how to rebut him three months later.

Back then I said...

What does that matter to you? The deal fell through anyway.

Do you know why I hired you? I hired you because you're handsome.

I thought I would have an edge if I took you with me to entertain the clients.

But if you keep being so stupid, you won't benefit me at all.

You better watch out.

This light really fits well everywhere. The clients Eric left behind want it too.

So you must buy more each time. There'll be a 30 percent discount too.

Will they be delivered before Friday?

I don't think that's a problem. Let me check.

OK. Thank you.

Hey, this lamp looks like...

Oscar Palazzo. Its design is really mamamiya.

Right. It's really gorgeous.

Hello, what kinds of lamps are you two looking for?

I can suggest some for you.

Oh, we came to see Joe.

Oh, you're her mom. She's talking to the manager right now.

Don't mind us. We'll look around. You don't need to wait on us.

OK. Feel free to look around then.

Let's pick a lamp for Sis Wah first. OK.

This is so beautiful.

Auntie Fong, I want a beautiful chandelier like this in the sitting room.

Our ceiling is only 9-feet high.

You'll hit your head if you hang a chandelier there.

We should have rented a flat with a higher ceiling.

I didn't break the lamp. I won't take the fall.

You didn't break it? Did I break it then?

That's very likely.

You've got an attitude problem. I'll fire you.

I quit.

I'm afraid we can't buy the lamp as a gift at staff rate anymore.

This is her eighth job this year.

Auntie Fong, I'm on Wan-yee's side this time.

Her boss wrongly accused her of breaking a lamp.

She wanted her to pay damages.

Sis Kit, you're really so nice.

Right. I'm the bad guy. You're not young.

When will you settle down and get a serious job?

Those jobs aren't my dream. I've got nothing to lose quitting them.

Your dream is to work as an interior designer, right?

Right.

You've sent so many letters looking for a job after you graduated.

How many of them gave you a reply?

You need to wait for the opportune moment to fulfill your dream.

Kit, don't defend her anymore.

She's really not young. She's already 26 years old.

She never stays in a job for long. She just runs an online boutique.

She makes so little money. How can she take care of herself?

Here's my contribution this month.

I owe it to the online shop that I have money to contribute.

Sis Kit. Yes?

Someone wants to talk to you.
