Back to Back, Face to Face (背靠背，脸对脸)

Still working, Dad?

I have something to tell you, son.

Mr Li's mother visited me this afternoon.

She said you have high hopes of becoming the Director.

Dad, forget it.

What are you talking about?

I just want to give you some advice.

Hunters shoot the bird which comes out first.

I understand.

Please have a rest soon, Dad.

Wash your feet before you go to bed!

Otherwise clean the quilt yourself!

Even a washing machine can't clean it properly!

Quiet. Dad is still working.

Listen! Listen!

Your dearest shoemaker makes noise even at night!

This is so annoying!

He has worked as a shoemaker his whole life.

If we don't allow him to work,

he'll be very depressed.

If he gains happiness from his work,

why should we stop him?

I'm not gonna take care of anyone who isn't my blood father!

But do tell him!

Don't bring dirt into our home!

Let me tell you some good news.

Our department is going to conduct a simulated election.

I think I'm going to be the new Director.

Why is this good news?

You've been the Deputy Director for three years.

Shouldn't it be the time for a promotion?

Also, you know all the others will vote for you.

I know.

Alright. Switch off the light and sleep.

Shuangli! Shuangli! Wake up! Wake up!

Your father is crying! Listen!

Hey, your trousers!

What's wrong, Dad?

Tell me! Don't endure the sadness!

Open the door, Dad!

Otherwise I'm gonna break it!

Leave me alone! Go away! Please!

What happened to Dad, Fanglan?

Must be something related to the lack of a grandson.

It's our Government that adopted the One-Child Policy.

Why blame me for giving birth to a daughter?

Alright. Send Honghong to kindergarten now.

Is everyone here? Fine.

Then let's begin.

Holding a simulated election is our Government's idea.

It's a practice of democracy.

We'll give you blank sheets.

Write down who you think is the best candidate.

Don't panic and don't worry.

Just write down the best person in your opinion.

Have you brought your pens?

Why would staff of the Culture Department forget to bring pens?

Could I leave now?

Of course.

Need any help, Mr Wang?

No. I'm just passing by.

Come inside.

How are the photos?

Nice.

- So this is the new camera. - Yeah.

What are you focusing on?

Nothing. I use it for peeping. See for yourself.

He puts only his friends in important positions.

Like Li the accountant and Monkey.

What's on your mind, Mr Wang?

Call me if you need any help.

Cut it out.

If they conduct an election, I can assist in your promotion.

Those who don't vote for Mr Wang

are all motherfuckers!

Don't you realize it's a poor slogan?

You treat me so well, Mr Wang.

In the past, every leader despised this temporary labour.

Except you. I'll repay your kindness.

I'll do anything for you no matter what the cost is.

Shuangli! A phone call!

Hello? Commissioner?

Yeah. I've prepared everything for tomorrow's interview.

I know Bingbing's talent.

She'll succeed definitely.

Don't send us gifts!

Everyone knows Wang isn't a greedy man.

He cares only the benefits of the society.

Take them back! Do it!

See you later! Bye!

See you, Li! See you!

Oh, don't worry, Commissioner.

I select the judges with careful consideration.

All of them are reliable.

It's a mission possible.

Oh, I'm telling you, Bingbing is sick now.

I'm afraid she can't attend the interview.

Sorry for being late informing you.

I hope it won't cause you any trouble.

Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Are you mad?

Don't worry. A little trick.

It's a trick of mine

in order to gain the trust of the Commissioner.

You idiot!

You're painting a snake with feet!

As a Commissioner Mr Leng is very experienced.

You're causing me trouble!

Long-haired but short-sighted.

Leng Bingbing can't attend the interview tomorrow.

Then what should you do?

Isn't it a fake interview prepared for her?

Maybe I should cancel it.

Don't. People will call you a liar.

Then who should we recruit?

None. All have political backgrounds.

The Commissioner will be angry if I recruit any of them.

Look at you.

The Commissioner's daughter wants to work in the Culture Department.

You could simply hire her,

but you organize an open interview instead.

Let's see how it ends.

Go ahead.

You must think on it carefully.

All of you are witnesses.

These letters are written by important officials from important departments.

Any of their fingers are bigger than our waists.

Who dares to offend them?

However, my dear fellows,

they dare to abuse power for private gain in broad daylight.

This really disgusts me.

They send us a bunch of letters just for a little interview.

What's your opinion?

By the way, where is Leng Bingbing's letter?

She's sick, so she can't attend the interview.

It's up to you, Mr Wang.

Yeah. It's up to you. What's your idea?

My idea is to recruit none of them.

But this is not a good idea, Mr Wang.

You're offending the officials.

I have an idea.

- What idea? - Tell us.

We get a total of ten judges here.

Let's take turn to give scores from 8.5 to 9.4.

Now it's your duty, Li.

According to the rule,

the highest and the lowest scores are excluded.

At last the overall score is 71.6.

If Li gives 8.5,

then the next one should give 8.6 followed by 8.7, etc.

If Li gives 9.4, then the next one

should give 8.5 and then 8.6 and then 8.7, etc.

That means at the end all candidates will get 71.6.

It's same as cancelling the interview.

40 minutes left.

If you don't have any further suggestions, let's vote.

Raise your hands if you agree.

Hello.

I'm Xiao Lele. It means "joyful'.

I'm attending the interview today.

Here. A letter from Mr Hou.

The interview will begin soon. Just relax until then.

- Don't be too nervous. - Fine. Thanks.

The registration fee we receive is 1150 Yuan in total.

Should we keep it as an annual bonus?

Find an extra 2000 Yuan.

Pay off the loan we owe the bank first.

You pay the bank loan bit by bit.

They complain that it's troublesome.

I'd like to pay off the loan first.

Tell other people,

helping me now is helping themselves in the future.

Oh, I asked you to contact that construction company.

Have you done it?

Yeah. I invite the manager of the company

to have dinner in Hongbin Restaurant tonight.

Li, you're smart.

I learn that there is a personnel rearrangement in our department.

I don't know anything.

Don't show me that face. I really don't know.

See you later.

Please give the score.

Exclude the highest score.

Exclude the lowest score.

The overall score of Candidate 4 is 71.6.

71.6 again?

Tell me, old man.

What do you want to know?

Comrade.

Please tell me under what situation

we can have a second child.

Only when the first child suffers from genetic defects,

or being paralyzed.

For example, being deaf or mute.

I see. I see.

(No Early Marriage and Early Child-Bearing!)

Opened is the gate of Revolution.

Blown is the clarion of Revolution.

Roaring are the waves of Revolution.
