Boss & Me

Boss & Me

Episode 5

I've come a long way from home to Shanghai, joined Feng Teng Group and met Qi Shuai.

Is this considered fate?

He's a director, I'm an assistant.

We are like a star in the sky and an ape on the ground.

Him fancying me would truly be a miracle.

I believe in miracles, but I don't believe that miracles can happen to me.

Xue Shan Shan! What are you thinking?

Why am I thinking of Boss?

Although being able to sit in Boss's sports car is a miracle,

Boss is so cold-blooded and heartless, definitely not my type.

Xue Shan Shan, wake up!

Don't ever think about such nonsense!

The reality is that you are just a lowly Finance Assistant -- a Finance Assistant and acting vegetable picker.

"The Universe of Three Kingdoms"

Let me beat the devil to vent my anger.

Found the costumes for my character.

Now to choose a name that will vent my anger...

Got it!

"Sleep Well after Beating the Boss"

Very fitting.

Big moves! Big moves!

Every lunchtime, he makes me go to his office and pick vegetables.

The entire company knows about it.

Do I still have to behave myself?

Done picking.

Can't die. Can't die...

Boss

I'm just a lowly Finance Assistant.

You have so many secretaries, like... for example, Ah Mei, who is very smart and efficient.

For difficult tasks that require skilful handling -- such as picking your food -- she is most suitable.

This vegetable picking task needs remarkable finesse -- must be steady, accurate, relentless and ruthless.

But Ah Mei is a Harvard graduate.

Between you and her, who do you think is better-suited to vegetable picking?

I am. I am more suitable.

Carry on.

I'm dead! I'm dead! ...

Can't die. Can't die... Hurry, hurry, ...

You don't eat soybeans, but still let your family chef cook black beans (fermented soybeans).

It's a pity for a Harvard graduate to be picking your food, but it's not a pity when I have to do it?!

These ten precious fingers of mine should be used for greater plans and grander causes.

Making me come here to pick your food...

I won't accept this fate. I won't accept this fate...

Linda

Help me find a lip-reading teacher.

Yes, sir.

So fun!

Yes! Yes!

Boss, Miss Xue has got a bad cold today so she won't be able to come for lunch.

Okay.

Feng Teng

Here's the information you asked for.

I heard you've been having lunch with Xue Shan Shan these days.

So what?

You still need to ask "so what"?

You haven't been a good enough buddy.

I've been admiring your family chef's skills for a long time.

How come you don't bring me packed lunch?

You are never lacking in terms of girls to eat with.

I am guessing if we were to line them up one girl a day, the line would reach the end of next month.

If you want to eat our family chef's dishes that much, come and eat at our house.

A lot of girls have lunch with me.

But only one girl has lunch with you, and that's Xue Shan Shan.

You really like her, don't you?

Alright! I won't ask. Asking too many times would just make things worse.

If you wanted to tell me, you would have told me already.

But let me remind you...

You two having lunch together is too unusual.

So much so that the whole company is gossiping about it.

Xue Shan Shan has not yet passed her probation period.

Have a little restraint.

My guess is... Xue Shan Shan having a cold today is all because of this mess.

Just wanting to enjoy a good meal...

Is it so problematic?

Shan Shan, why don't you go to Boss's office for lunch today?

- I have a cold. - A cold?

It won't be good if I spread it to Boss, right?

- I think this cold will last at least 10 to 14 days. - Is that so?

You all had better stay away from me, okay? Else, you might get infected too.

God bless me, please let Boss find a good vegetable picker to replace me,

someone so much better at it that Boss would completely forget about my existence.

Then this cold would be worth it.

Fresh air!

Smells so good!

I haven't eaten noodles that smell this good for so long.

Wearing so little clothes...

Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?

I haven't eaten such delicious noodles for so long.

Such happiness for just being able to eat instant noodles...

You're truly carefree.

Smells so good!

At last, I've said goodbye to the pork liver.

I'm full!

I want to become a little sun

Head to toe, full of positive energy

I want to become a little sun

Head to toe, full of positive energy

I want to become a little sun

Head to toe, full of positive energy

She sure can act.

Cheng Juan

You want to resign?!

Yes, I've passed my CPA exam, and I'm about to join an accounting firm.

You passed the CPA exam? How long did you prepare for it?

Two years.

- Amazing! - Congratulations, Cheng Juan!

This is too sudden!

Don't worry, Chief, I will work here until the end of the year so that you have plenty of time to find a replacement.

Cheng Juan, congratulations! You are truly awesome!

I know.

I've always relied on my own strength, not on connections.

Shan Shan

Cheng Juan has always been a cold fish, with a particularly sharp tongue.

You shouldn't take it to heart.

I'm alright! I didn't take it to heart.

Anyway, I also didn't rely on connections, I relied on my own blood.

Also true. Passing the CPA exam is every accountant's dream!

But Shan Shan, in my mind, you are already so awesome!

You were able to forge a very good relationship with Boss,

which indicates that you have a talent for forging interpersonal relationships at work.

That's not something everyone can accomplish.

Besides, even the shareholders and managers and so on, they get to meet Boss only a few times a year, right?

That's true!

I have to thank my dad and mom for giving me this uncommon blood type.

By the way, Shan Shan, where are you going?

I'm taking the bus to go back home.

You've been having lunch together with Boss.

Why don't you let him send you back as well? Even if not that, you could get his driver to send you home.

- I don't really have lunch with Boss. I'm just... - Just what?

I am just a vegetable picker, how do i say that out loud?

No, I can't say that.

The fact is... Boss makes use of my lunchtime to give me a secret task.

A secret task? What secret task?

It's a secret task, so of course I can't tell you!

In short, this task is... regarding... a huge secret of Feng Teng Group!

So I can't tell you even if you beat me to death. I've got to go.

Shan Shan! Wait for me!

I'm now at the bookstore, I'll go back after this.

Don't drink too much at the dinner party, okay? Okay, love you, bye!

- Erm... - What is it?

Oh ya! Ah Jia!

The thing is... I already have plans to have dinner today with my cousin in this neighbourhood.

Let's hang out another day, okay?

Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow.

- Okay, bye! - Bye!

I'm sorry, but we're not open yet.

- I'm... - Miss Xue!

Ms. Feng, long time no see.

You just got off work?

Do you love to visit bookstores?

Sort of.

Actually, I saw you come in here, so I followed you in.

What a coincidence.

Next time when we hold the bookstore opening, you must come and show your support, okay?

This is Ms. Feng Yue's bookstore?

My best friend and I work together to open this bookstore.

Including this one, we now have three stores.

I actually only invest, I play no part in managing them.

My best friend has gone to Germany to select new books. She'll be back in two days.

We've just started renovating so I'm here to help supervise.

You see, this place is quite big, so I intend to have a cafe here too.

So the purpose of Ms. Feng's trip to Europe was to settle stuff concerning this bookstore.

Of course, successful people like you have to travel all over the world.

Europe?

Boss told me that you went to Europe.

Of course! I was in Europe, I got back only yesterday. You see, the jet lag really makes me...

- Ms. Feng, I've been really anticipating your return every day! - Really?

I think it's probably because you've been so busy that you haven't...

... the thing is... actually, it's still regarding what I told you about last time.

Ms. Feng, can you please don't send me lunch anymore?

I'm just a lowly Finance Assistant.

I really can't bear to take more from you.

Okay, understood. I was so busy that I forgot.

Before I go abroad, I should have told the chef to stop preparing lunch for you.

It must've been hard for you during this time, not being able to hang out with your colleagues during lunch, right?

Kind of.

In fact, our company's staff canteen serves very good food, very healthy and nutritious.

Okay, I'll make sure to speak to the chef when I get home.

Thank you, Ms. Feng.

Brother, you're here!

B-Boss

Why are you here?

Shan Shan was just passing by, I invited her in to keep me company.

If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. You both enjoy yourselves.

See you, Boss.

- You guys... - Wait a moment.

Xue Shan Shan!

Boss

You've recovered from your cold?

No, I haven't recovered.

Can you stand a little further away from me?

I don't wish to spread it to you.

If you catch a cold, it will be all my fault.

So... the thing about picking vegetables...

I get it.

Starting tomorrow, you can come to work in peace.

No need to help me pick vegetables anymore.

Take good care of yourself.

Which means to say... I don't need to go to his office for lunch anymore?
