Still Lala (我是杜拉拉 / Wo Shi Du La La)

Episode 2

I have checked for you and you are neck and neck.

Neck and neck? - Yes.

What is her position? - I don't know.

But she will be your competitor sooner or later.

Look.

Look how chummy she is with the General Manager and Mr. Huang.

Do you see?

That's nothing. I've been at SH for so long. She's just a newcomer.

Yes. She can't get to a higher position than you right now,

but you have to nip in the bud.

What is our company culture in SH? Boss culture.

If the boss think you have enough ability, then you get promoted.

If not,

no matter how many talents you have, it won't work. Don't you know?

Anyway,

it won't be good to

have someone like her under me.

Eat something.

Kathy. - Yes.

You are not subordinate staff.

Later we, the Human Resource Department, will be depending on you and Lala.

Sure. - Best of luck.

Kathy, Mr. Huang will give you three months

to show your abilities.

We will choose one of you to be the Director of Human Resources,

so you must show how good you are.

I know.

Du Lala is one of the best in SH.

Kathy, as a newcomer, do you have confidence?

Of course I do.

Du Lala doesn't know it, right?

She hasn't been aware yet.

I am worried about how to tell her.

I thought she would be the Directer of Human Resources,

but such an extraordinary people like Kathy should be cherished.

The competition in our company is quite fair,

so the one with better ability will take the position.

You must try your best.

Find a suitable opportunity and explain it to her well.

After all, she have been working in the company for years. You must try to pacify her.

Guo Dong, you have to handle this in a good way.

You can count on me.

Thanks, Manager Huang. Thanks, General Manager.

Best luck.

Thank you all.

Today is the celebration for the new employees and

the promotion of Manager Huang.

Let's liven things up and I hope that everyone will enjoy themselves.

Other than that, I want to express my gratitude to someone, and that's Lala Jie.

Thank you for everything that you did for my mother.

Thank you.

Sorry, sorry. I forget to tell you guys something.

I make an announcement of

an important decision about SH's Human Resources Department.

Our company has decided for the better development of our HR Department and

a better future, we have

invited Miss Kathy to join us as an HR Manager,

and of course she will work with Du Lala, taking charge of HR Department.

I will give them three months to show their ability.

Whoever's the best and works the hardest...

What happened?

That person will be the Director of HR.

A surprise.

Let's welcome Miss Kathy onto the stage.

A surprise...

Thank you.

First of all, thank Manager Huang

for giving me such a precious opportunity to talk with you.

Hello, everyone. I'm Kathy.

What did I say just now? - I am very glad to meet with you guys here.

Whoever comes is not kind.

The kind one won't come. - I believe through our efforts, SH will have a better future.

Cheers! - Wonderful!

You just have to fight with Kathy step by step.

Huang Guo Dong just needs obedience. What you have to do is to obey him

or find chances to give him some gifts.

I didn't do anything shameful.

I will compete with Kathy fairly rather than send gifts behind her back.

Sure, sure. A fair competition.

You are just as stubborn as Xiao Wei.

I heard that my mom came.

Yes. She is always talking about you.

Oh, stop.

How lucky that I'm going to Beijing for a business trip tomorrow and won't be back until next week.

Or should I wait to come back after my mom leaves?

Don't. I think your mother is quite easy to get along with, and isn't awful as you say.

You don't know her.

After living together for some time,

you will know she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

This sheep doesn't mean sheep but open-minded.

How can you describe your mother like this?

Really, do not be fooled by her appearance.

You think it's normal that she smiles to visit you.

It's easy to meet but hard to live together.

Li Jie, don't scare me.

Hey.

Do you think mom will stay in Shanghai in the long-term?

Didn't she come because she's lovelorn? It'll be okay after, right?

You just stay positive now.

Wow. Wang Wei really treats you well.

Looking at the position and environment of this community,

he must have sent a lot of money.

Don't mention it.

We have to pay 20,000 in debt each month.

It's almost my monthly salary.

If he doesn't pay, I will really become while-collar.

My entire month's salary would be gone.

Alright! Don't vent your grievances.

Who doesn't know that you guys are new couple, so sweet now

and deeply attached to each other. All right. Just quickly go upstairs.

You're already here. You're not going to come in for a while?

Oh, I don't want to be the third-wheel.

Moreover, if I go to your luxury apartment, I will be jealous. No thanks.

You just said it's luxury. Why not go and see?

The wall is covered with our blood and sweat.

Then I definitely can't go.

All right. Let's talk about the main topic.

You don't have to worry about Kathy.

Only in competition can you show off your strengths.

I will fully support you.

I know, Jie. Am I a narrow-hearted person?

Are you really not going with me? - No. Go, go.

I am going. - Quickly go to be sweet.

Bye bye. - Ok. Bye bye.

Jie, have a safe trip. Bye bye. - Ok, bye bye.

A candlelight dinner.

Fifty Shades of Grey.

Can he be more creative?

You scared me!

For me?

Of course.

Giving me such a huge bouquet of roses...

Hubby, did you do anything to be sorry about?

Speak!

The meat is a little over burned.

All right.

Where is mom?

My husband is definitely ‘Cooking Master Boy’! The best chef!

Overpraised!

Hubby, you know I was so embarrassed today.

Today,

Mom has asked me to take care of one of her students named Qian Qian.

But I mistook her for someone else.

Do you know why? - Hm?

The Qian Qian mom referred to is Qian with the a side character of 'people'.

With the character 'green'. - And another side is 'green'.

But it turns out that the one I was mistook her for

was also named Qian Qian. Her name is Xiao Qian,

which is consisted of characters 'grass' and 'west'.

Oh. - So I was confused them

and made a ridiculous joke.

Then?

Then I found that

the one mom asked me to take care of is not easy to look after.

No problem. You can do this.

Just teach her what I have taught you.

Hubby, you have set a such romantic dinner.

Do you feel disappointed that I talked about this?

No. I am willing to share your everything.

Hi, Miss Kathy, is this the wine you've ordered?

Yes, open it please.

Hey, wait.

Kathy Jie, this wine is so expensive, more than $10,000.

Of course. This is France's best wine. I especially ordered for you.

Just open it, thanks. - Okay.

Please wait.

I feel that this wine bar's atmosphere is not bad.

You know, sometimes after a tiring day at work,

I will come here for drinks. Try some in a bit. - Okay.

Try some and clink!

How is it? - Hmm.

As long as you like it.

Today, I think the way how Du Lala

dealt with the situation with your mother has some problems.

As the Manager of Human Resources, I apologize.

Kathy Jie, my mom...

But Jin Jing, I have seen your grades.

They're really good.

If you keep going like this, you will definitely be able to stay after your internship.

Whether I stay after the internship or not, I don't want to be judged by other colleagues.

That's why I did the piano performance at the welcoming cocktail party.

Yes, you played very well.

You have great skills.

Moreover, I think that even though you work in the same company as your mother

and you work together, you two are different individuals.

How she does won't affect you.

Similarly, your performance won't affect her either.

If you want to work in international industries for the long-term, this is something you have to remember.

Forget it. It's my fate that I have a mother like her.

Don't say that.

I will have strict work requirements for you,

but privately,

if you have any difficulties, feel free to ask me.

Thank you so much, Kathy Jie.
