Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

How's your friend?

She's much better now. At least, she's more cheerful now.

How about you?

We just uploaded the new song online.

A few radio programs are already playing it.

The feedback is quite good.

We're invited as the opening act for a concert.

It's in Shanghai.

Come to the concert if you have the time.

Sure, I'll definitely by there.

When did you start playing music?

What were you doing before that?

When I was in high school, I got into a gang fight.

I got detained in the Juvenile Detention Center for 10 days.

When I was released, the school had me expelled.

My mom had wanted me to finish my studies but I got a ticket to Beijing instead.

What is it?

You're surprised?

I'm surprised at how honest you are.

Has it got to do with that friend who investigated me?

It does and it doesn't.

I don't want to hear about it from someone else.

But I do want to know you better.

In all fairness, you can also ask me questions.

A question each?

Sure.

What do you like about me?

You're fun.

I find you different from the others.

Why did you form a band?

I like Cui Jian (musician).

I like Dou Wei.

I like the rock music of their times.

I still remember the first time I heard Cui Jian's song

"Let Me Go Wild In The Snow."

I find it so powerful.

You can only find that joy in music.

What about you?

Why are you doing this job?

My dad got me the internship.

My dad also recommended the company to me.

He thinks that they train their employees well.

So I just stayed on unknowingly.

In fact, my parents arranged everything for me from my schools to my job.

The only decision I made was to leave home.

Otherwise, I felt as if I'd never truly grow up.

Am I quite boring?

It's quite good.

It does fit your personality.

You look just like someone who grew up in a happy family.

You're unlike me.

My parents were divorced when I was little.

No one cared much about me.

Here.

How is it with the company?

It's almost settled.

I just keep calling clients to urge them for payments.

There are still two bigger payments and a few smaller ones.

Once all the payments come through, the company is officially shut down.

That's good.

At least, the mortgage is paid off.

You won't have to worry about any debts.

What do you intend to do next?

Do you want to look for a job first or--

I haven't thought about it yet.

There's no rush.

You should relax a bit.

Think it through before you take the next step.

Don't make the same mistake--

The patient has a heart condition in the first place.

After she was strongly provoked

the rupture of her vessels triggered cerebral hemorrhage.

That's why she is now in deep coma.

However, in her condition, we can't perform a surgery on her.

We can only adopt conservative treatment.

She...

She...

When will she regain consciousness?

It's hard to tell.

The hemorrhage represses on her brain tissues.

It causes the surrounding tissues to swell.

We'll have to see how she is after the swelling goes down.

If she recovers well, she'll wake up very soon.

But she's also likely to be partially paralyzed

and suffer from aphasia .

In the worst case scenario, she goes into a persistent vegetative state.

The results of the examination are out.

My mom has heart disease in the first place.

The provocation triggered cerebral hemorrhage.

Her brain is damaged so she remains in coma.

The doctor said that anything is possible.

She might regain consciousness or she might...

Never wake up.

I'm really sorry.

This is just a coincidence.

My dad is the deciding factor.

What about your dad?

How is he?

How else could he be?

He definitely won't let my mom's subordinates off.

They are in confrontation now.

It's a a huge mess.

But your dad claims to be transferring all assets to you

and froze all bank accounts.

Money is only allowed in but not out.

Your mom's relatives can't get a penny.

Are they still in the mood to go against your dad?

My dad is only saying that he's transferred all assets to me.

He's just trying to hold my mom's people hostage.

He can't wait to get all positions filled by his own team.

Great.

It's such a buzz in my family now.

Those who know us and those who don't are waiting to mock at us.

I don't know what to advise you.

Don't bother.

Honestly, I really miss those days before I attended high school.

We weren't that wealthy then

but at least my family got along really well.

My parents shared the same mind.

But now...

Would you like me to keep you company?

- I can take days off. - Definitely not.

I'm worried that my dad will implicate you into this.

I told you that I won't allow anyone to probe into my matters

so likewise, I won't probe into others' business.

When I was a child, I thought that if someone treated me kindly

it's the most precious gift I can have.

But I now realize...

The most precious gift of all is to be able to remain adamant and firm.

I...

I'm just too soft-hearted.

If I had known that it would come to this

I'll have them and their teams take on each other.

I can wait to benefit from it.

But it's all too late for that now.

My dad used our relationship as a tool to get rid of my mom.

I have to get things done right by my mom.

You're going up against your dad?

Isn't he using my name now to justify his actions?

I'll let him have it his way.

He can drive those bloodsuckers out.

I'll take over Bao Corporate Group.

What can I do for you?

Tell me by all means.

Nothing else...

Just chat with me for a while longer.

I'm so frustrated.

I want to have a drink.

I'll drink with you. Come in.

It really is the struggles of a wealthy family.

It's just like the ones in television dramas.

It seems that the rich have their own troubles as well.

How scary.

I have to remind you.

You should be cautious.

Although VP Bao doesn't blame you now, what if his mom--

Being rational is one thing.

Relationships are something else.

Those are his parents after all

so he can't possibly not have feelings for them.

You're right.

You got it spot on.

Bao is in a terrible mood.

He's inconsolable.

What is it like to spend time with parents?

You're asking me about it?

I'm sorry.

You family is also...

So neither of us can answer that.

What about a change of topic?

Why do you want to get a drink?

What's wrong?

Wang Bai Chuan went bankrupt.

I knew.

How did you know?

Was it Xiao Xiao?

What should I do?

I really hate to make my friends worry about me

but I keep making a fool of myself.

It's all right.

Xiao Xiao is actually very impressed by you.

What good is that?

When a man is poor, he has low expectations.

Even if we've made up our minds to stay with each other

I still feel very uneasy.

Do you know that I'm actually quite scared to see Wang Bai Chuan these days?

Whenever I see him, I want to ask what he intends to do next.

But I'm also scared to know what he has in mind.

If he ends up just as an office worker, we won'teven dare to have kids.

If he starts a new business, how should he go about it?

Where's his capital?

What is his objective?

He's calculated the remaining funds and it's only 100 some thousand yuan.

That's all he has left.

That's like a drop in the bucket here in Shanghai.

If the both of you earn money at the same time

and face the challenges together, would it make things easier?

That's what I have in mind.

But... But I'm worried that he'd feel stressed out.

What's more... You might laugh at me but I'll still say it.
