All in 700 (700歲旅程 / 700 Sui Lu Cheng)

Episode 8 -

Jimmy, you are so good at cooking.

I can ask my mom to hire you as a chef. Then you don't have to work as a laborer for room and board.

I use a Tourist Visa. I cannot hold a regular job.

I didn't want to spend your six month in the kitchen. You came to have fun.

Why don't you teach me some Thai cuisine. We can use it for our afternoon tea.

Okay. What do you want to learn? - Hot Pepper Chicken.

Hot Pepper Chicken... - Bring me some pepper.

Oh, okay.

Here.

Kai Lin.

Look. I've known Ah Yong for almost seven years.

I only saw him stay with the green house and mud.

Aiyo, I didn't realize that he has a doctor's degree from the U.S.

Oh, he was a professor as well.

Oh, no wonder. High academic credentials.

So that's why De Lang was so close to him.

Even Xin Yue is so respectful towards him.

That's not the issue. What is this respect thing?

Doctor Li and Xin Yue are not that kind of people.

Then why did Xin Yue...

accept Ah Yong's money but refused my help? Oh...

My education isn't as good as Ah Yong, right?

However I also was someone powerful in the business world.

Aiyo, to work as CEO,

why do you need to have high education credentials?

You have to have financial strength.

See how much I care for Xin Yue.

Everyone can tell that I care more for her than Ah Yong.

That is indeed the case.

Uncle Lang San, you are so odd. Look at how old you are already.

Why would you be displeased when others don't borrow money from you.

Oh..what you mean is that I am really childish.

That's not it. I didn't say you are childish. I just feel that

you talk more about men than women.

That's true.

Fan Fan, look at how discourteous she is.

Deduct her pay.

Add bonus.

Uncle Lang San, the CEO is not the boss.

The CEO has to do a lot of things in our community.

The CEO has to help this family, and then turn around to care for another resident.

Xin Yue didn't want you to be bothered by these troubles. She didn't want to lower your stature as the boss.

That's right.

Sister, you really know how to talk. After listening to you, I feel so much better.

My care for Xin Yue is not wasted.

However, talking about this...

we are all neighbors. There is no such issue as lowering stature if I do some of the work.

At worst, we can just add a few more employees in our community, right?

Uncle Lang San, come to drink your coffee. It's getting cold.

Okay, okay.

Don't you have nothing to do? It's not even dark yet and you want to have dinner.

Come in to have a seat.

Time to eat. - I want to take mine out.

Okay. Today we have lemon fish. Your mother likes to eat fish, right?

Jimmy prepared his special home cooking for everyone.

Really? Home cooking? That's great.

Kai Lin, today is the 15th. My mom and I eat vegetarian for today. Did you forget?

That's right. I have such bad memory. I am sorry.

Sometimes my mother also eat vegetarian. I will make a couple more dishes. Won't take much time.

Please wait.

Oh, he can also cook vegetarian. He is amazing.

Fan Fan, come on. Come and help me in the kitchen.

Eh, I don't know how to cook.

I didn't want you to cook. Look at this.

Hot and sour soup Thai style? You made this?

Dong Nieng Goong. It's the most renown dish. It's also my specialty.

However, the elderly may not like the traditional strong flavor.

I made this pot especially for you. You should try it.

Okay.

So this pot of Dong Nieng Goong

is made for Fan Fan? Jimmy, you are so biased.

Sister Xin Yue said that I can stay in the community.

If not for Fan Fan's help in the beginning

in finding me a place to stay, and taking me to the police,

how could I be able to stay here?

So you remember that I didn't want to give you a place to stay.

Therefore, I don't get to taste this Dong Nieng Goong soup today.

That's not it. Not at all.

You are so ridiculous.

There is so much. How could I finish?

Okay. You can take care of your work first. I will save you a bowl.

Oh, you have to save me one.

Fine. - Remember to do that.

It's really tasty. I would like to get a bowl to go.

Okay.

Shrimp Cake,

Lemon Fish, Spicy Pork, oh...

and Dong Nieng Goong.

So amazing.

Lang San? What is it? You don't like Thai food?

I like, like.

It's great if you do.

Come, come.

There are three meals a day in the community. Right now Kai Lin in the Café cooks for us.

The cost of the food is included in the monthly fee.

You can come here to eat when you want.

Everyone, Doctor Chen.

Doctor Chen, welcome.

Aiya, Doctor Chen.

Let me say that we welcome you to our Yinhwa Community.

Everyone here is our old neighbor here.

Everyone has lived here for many years. We all know each other very well.

Now you are here. Please just don't feel awkward and just be yourself.

If there is anything you need us to help,

you must tell us. Don't hesitate to ask.

Let us welcome Doctor Chen with your enthusiastic applause.

Thank you. Thank you.

Doctor Chen, I heard that you were Doctor Li's classmate, right?

You also served as the deputy director of a hospital.

If so, your medical skills must be even better than Doctor Li's. Isn't that right?

No, no.

Aiya, Shu Qin. Come back and sit down. Enough.

Welcome, welcome.

Chao Huang, we have a doctor now. I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Let me report to everyone a good new. Since De Lang passed away, we didn't have any more medical appointments for the community.

Now with Doctor Chen's arrival, he is willing to continue that work.

Wow! That's great, great.

Also, because the revenue of our community cannot balance the cost,

so the monthly fee, after consulting with Xin Yue,

may need to be raised a little in order to pay for all the expenses.

Aiya, that's not right.

CEO, I now can be counted as a tiny, tiny resident, right?

Could I understand why the monthly fee must be increased? From a different perspective,

if I were the CEO, I won't increase the fee, and I will add dishes to each meal for everyone.

What is this now? Political campaign press conference?

If you want to add dishes to the meal, just do it now. Why do you have to wait until you are the CEO?

Eh...you? You are about to move out. You are not eligible to talk here.

What if I don't move? Then I am eligible to talk? I am not moving.

I just said that I am not moving.

That's right. I want to say that actually Shu Qin is really fond of this community.

So upon hearing my suggestion, she agreed immediately not to move. We are not moving out.

Not moving.

Uncle Lang San, we all know that you are very generous,

but you can't be like this.

The income and expenses of this community have always been made public. It will continue to be the case in the future.

After I organize the details for a couple of days, I will present the information to everyone.

That's not right either.

Why are you doing the work, and sorting out the accounting?

Oh, this CEO doesn't do anything. Isn't the job too easy for him?

Xin Yue, let's eat. Don't worry about him.

Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen. - Okay.

Come, come. Let's eat.

Doctor Chen, we have the utensils for you.

No, no need. In the future,

no need to prepare my set of utensils. I will use my own set.

Here.

Fan Fan, look.

I applied for the certificate of the international driver's license. I can ride the bike in the future in Taiwan.

Really? Don't get arrested by the cops later.

Of course it's real. I went to the MVA to get this.

I won't need to bother you with the ride, and I can take you to and from work everyday.

This is so funny. When you take me to and from work, you will still be using my bike.

Please just let me do it.

Please!

Okay, okay. If your skill is too awful, you should not do it anymore.

Don't worry. I ride the bike more slowly than you, and safer than you.

The way you are is dangerous.

Do you want to put them here?

Fan Fan,

Your stuff.

Oh, I forgot.

If you work in Taipei in the future, I can also take you to and from work.

Who told you I am going to Taipei?

I heard from your Ah Ma that she wishes you to leave the community and find a job in Taipei,

but I think you may feel the rent is too high in Taipei.

So I went to get my international driver's license.

This way I can take you to and from work everyday.

Don't you have to return to Singapore in 6 months? How will you be able to give me rides?

About this...I would like to talk to you about it as well.

Fan Fan, have you ever thought about going to work in Singapre?

Ah?

My job is Singapore is a manager of a special project.

I can build my own team. If you are willing, after I settle down in Singapore,

you can come to my company to work.

I must stress that I don't have any ulterior motive,

but to find people I know for my team.

I think you are very good.

Thank you for considering me, but I have not thought of going there.

There is no rush. There is time. We have 6 months for you to think it over.

I bring this up now so that you have time to consider it.

No need to think about it. I will continue to stay here because of my Ah Ma.

She's had surgery with the side effect of waist pain that hurts so much

that she couldn't get out of bed.

How could I go to Singapore when I won't even consider jobs in Taipei?

So this is the reason that you wouldn't go to Taipei.

I am sorry. I didn't realize that.

Fan Fan, you are so filial to your Ah Ma.

You are the kindest, most passionate,

and filial girl I have ever met.

Obvious you have met too few of them.

And why did you try to portrait me to be so good?

Are you trying to trick me to Singapore and sell me off there?

How can that be? I like -

Fine, I didn't think you dare. Thank you.

Delivery.

What are you busy about? Jimmy cooked so many Thai dishes, and you didn't come to have dinner.

Really?
