Jia You.
Why are you here?
I can't be blamed for that incident.
We have to be reasonable. I--
Xiao Shan is sleeping. Lower your voice.
Why don't you talk inside?
I just have a few things to say and then I'll leave.
Come in.
How much did you drink?
I drank quite a bit at dinner.
I had another few glasses downstairs.
You stink of alcohol. Go wash up.
Jia You, why don't we give it a try?
Are you being serious?
I'm serious.
What do you like about me? I'm older than you.
You're feminine. So feminine.
I remember I gave you a piece of my mind the first time we met.
You're different from the others even when you're mad.
Go wash up.
Are you disgusted because I stink?
Then answer me.
One answer.
I can't wash up until you set my mind at ease.
Does that mean yes?
Mei Xin, be sure to take care of yourself over there.
Don't worry, Auntie.
Xiao Shan, send Mei Xin home as soon as we finish dinner.
Auntie, I want to stay with Xiao Shan tonight.
I want to spend more time talking to him.
It'll also be convenient for us to leave for the airport together tomorrow.
That's not so appropriate for a girl.
How about you share my bed with me?
Mom, it doesn't matter which bed she sleeps in.
You'll be just behind the curtains. We won't be doing anything but talking.
All right, then.
Thank you, Mom.
Listen, I heard people say America isn't as great as everybody says.
It's said people litter everywhere
and nobody picks up the fruit that falls from trees.
People also say
sanitation workers over there often go on strike for a whole week.
Just imagine how stinky the streets get.
What does that have to do with me?
I just want to tell you the reality is far different from our imagination.
Come back as soon as you finish your studies.
It'll still take four years.
I just don't understand.
When I was applying for colleges
only our class's worst students went abroad.
You're such an outstanding student. Why do you have to go abroad?
That's the wrong way of thinking.
Wouldn't it be nice to go out and see the world?
Jinghu is so big.
I moved here from Heilongjiang when I was four years old.
To this day, I still haven't seen all of Jinghu yet.
Wait for my return.
Mei Xin.
What's going on?
Mom, it's too bright outside. I can't sleep.
She has a flight to catch tomorrow. Go to sleep.
No privacy at all.
Remember to mail me. Don't call.
Phone calls are too expensive.
We can talk through mail.
What's the matter?
I'll miss you.
You'd better behave here.
Don't do anything bad.
I'm going.
Thank you for coming!
This is a big day for me.
I, Han Dong, started from scratch and finally have my own CD store.
Professor.
I've done wrong in the past.
Thank you for letting go of our differences
and buying my very first CD.
You were once my student, so I will always support you.
All right, all right.
It's my store's grand opening! Come in and have a look!
Everything is half off!
Awesome!
Hello, this is the call center. How can I help you?
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Hey, girl. Let's chat.
Sorry, sir. We have a rule against chatting with callers.
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Do you believe in doomsday?
Midnight of the year 2000 is the end of the world!
Sorry, miss. We have a rule against chatting with callers.
What's up? Unwanted calls again?
Not only that.
They're talking about doomsday so much lately that I'm starting to believe it.
What if we really don't make it to the year 2000?
I haven't had a boyfriend yet.
Hello, this is operator 2046.
Let's chat for a while. I just got dumped.
- Sorry-- - Wait, I don't mean to bother you.
I just want someone to talk to.
My girlfriend and I just broke up and she just left my house.
I had a crush on her for so many years. It wasn't easy for us to get together.
Don't be so upset.
Look out the window. There are so many people out there.
Everybody has experienced heartbreak before. You're not the only one.
Besides, don't assume you're so special that everybody should like you.
Li Song, cover for me! My sister is at the police station!
Call if you need anything!
All right, take him outside.
Go.
Sorry, excuse me!
You...
Zhang Chang Gong?
He's your brother?
Yes, by blood.
You two aren't alike at all. He's a more responsible person than you.
Back in the day, he remained cool-headed even when wrongly accused.
He didn't seem like a child who had just entered the workforce.
What happened?
The man who just left
called me and said he was just dumped and wanted to kill himself.
It sounded like an emergency, so I wanted to save him.
In the end, he wanted to rob me.
The one I just ran into?
You believe everything people say?
He made it sound so real.
Why did you pick up a call from a stranger?
Weren't you at the hospital? Do nurses answer calls too?
Don't you know your sister is an operator at the paging call center?
Her?
Paging operator?
Look at me.
When did you quit? Have you told Mom and Dad?
- Chang Gong. - Don't touch me.
I... I'm the one who was tricked and robbed!
Can you not ask about that? It's not important right now.
Yes, it's important!
The bad guy was caught and you're fine now.
You'd better explain your job situation to me!
All right, sign here and you can go home to talk.
Sorry about that. I'm just worried.
It's fine.
I don't have much to do at the moment.
I've been listening to your sister ramble for two hours.
Thank you, Officer Li.
Can you keep that man locked away a few more days, so he can't harm others?
That's not up to you or me.
Get your sister out of here.
Sorry about this.
Let's go home.
My bag!
Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!
Come back here.
What, Chang Gong?
Tell me the truth. Did you really quit?
Yes.
I don't want to be a nurse anymore, much less a Urology nurse.
You don't want me seeing men pull down their pants every day, do you?
What I want is one matter.
Whether you discussed this with the family first is another matter.
Chang Gong! Chang Gong!
Okay, enough.
Listen up. You'd better watch out.
Find a chance to tell Mom when she's in a good mood.
Otherwise, I won't stop her when she wants to spank you.
Go in. I'm heading to work.
You still have to go to work?
There's no helping it. The entire company is working through the New Year.
No matter where we work, all technicians have to return to the company.
Our company is a database provider
providing support for the Internet data center.
We're also software suppliers.
It's an absolute disaster.
Chang Gong, will there really be a doomsday?
What going on in your mind?
Bye.
- Guangzhou Industrial? - Yes, yes.
Four computers have crashed?
Don't worry. If there are any issues, we will take full responsibility.
Guangzhou Industrial! Who's in charge of them?
Over here! Transfer them to my line.
Don't send me more calls. I'm swamped.
Boss, another company called to say all their computers have crashed.
Boss! These guys have problems again.
Boss, we're back.
Why are you two here?
Isn't the company working late today?
Li Song and I thought we could come back to help after our work at the TV station.
Is there anything we can do?
Right, Boss. We're also company employees.
Okay, I'll take you up on your offer.
This is our current situation.
We've sold our company's commercial software
to dozens of companies
but over a hundred computers have crashed in the last few days.
Do you have any ideas?
It's hard to say whether this is related to the turn of the century
but I think this should be handled by someone experienced.
This person must be familiar with
the company's software as well as computer hardware.
Even better if someone who has dealt with the Y2K bug
