Thirty Something (Wo De San Shi Ding Lu / 我的三十定律)

Just when I thought my luck would change in life,

I took a step into hell.

The NT$20M that fell from the sky

made Auntie upset at me.

Unknowingly, I also lost my job.

Save my dad!

Although I still believe that no matter what happens, good things will happen,

just like what I told the just-divorced You Zi Jie.

Every hardship will pass.

But actually this time, I don't have confidence that I can climb out from this hell.

Actually, there's a person protecting me, cheering for me.

But can I really climb out of this hell?

Hello? Wei Kai, what's up?

Mei Liang. Did you hear about Miss. Cai getting back her insurance money?

Yeah, I did hear about it.

Did you think about continuing the happiness?

I like helping people.

Then come to my company tomorrow afternoon at 2.

What?

This lady... good morning. You keep playing with our bird. What can we do for you?

I wasn't playing. It kept falling.

What are you here for? -I have a meeting with Chief Pan.

Chief Pan? -Yeah.

Chief Pan isn't here. He's upstairs. Do you need something?

Oh, then never mind. Thank you.

You're here? -Chief Pan.

This lady is my friend. I hope you all treat her well.

I especially invited her to the company,

and personally, I really admire Miss He.

Her?

Him/her?

Who is Hong Ming Wei?

Wow! This is their salary, right? It's so much!

Hey, You Zi Jie, you're second place?

You Zi Jie, you lost to them. Although you earn quite a bit, too...

Next time just work harder. -He Mei Liang, can you be quieter?

Hey, let me ask you something. Can you really earn this much working at this company?

Come here.

Your name tag.

What you need to know as a insurance broker and also the law in insurance.

Article 9 of the Insurance Law: Insurance Broker.

On behalf of the client's interest,

the person who negotiates the insurance contract or related services, and receives respective commission or compensation. Do you understand?

This means that protecting the consumer is

the difference between the insurance agent and the insurance processor in the insurance company.

Here is the legal knowledge. You should read this first.

This book suits you better.

There's no problem, right?

No problem. -You can do it.

Yes.

There's way too many books! How will I ever finish reading them?

Those books...

If they can transform into the money I earn...

How great is it if they stack up this high?

He Mei Liang.

Victory! Good Luck!

Hello? -Miss He.

Hello, Brother. Didn't I send NT$600K to you?

That Brother He, I am saying that I sent it to you for Mr. Ma...

Brother, please do me a favor.

You should let me have a breather. This way you are pressing me, I...

Then why don't we set up a payment plan?

What payment plan? What is it?

Eh, yes. Payment plan...we can do that.

Have NT$150K ready to show your sincerity.

Huh?

What is this NT$150K?

Since you think a payment plan will work for you,

then you should pay NT$150K to buy this plan.

Sir, did you make a mistake? What is the rationale for this?

If not, then within 100 days,

you pay back NT$20M. Your choice.

Mister, if I had the money now,

I would just pay you back. Where do I get the NT$150K?

I...I am telling you I am on the roof now. Don't force me to jump off the building!

Anyway, you can consider carefully. Next time, I will come to your house personally to get your answer.

Eh, don't come to my house. I am telling you...eh...

Hello.

He Mei Liang, you will get through this.

Everyday I will improve by 0.1. My future achievement will be limitless.

I will leverage all my resources so that it won't be cumbersome on me.

I will have annual salary of a million dollars and be number one.

Very good. You must always encourage yourself to improve.

You Zi Jie, why do you...

I mean, Assistant Manager, could you not hide behind people's backs?

If my client received this kind of threat on their personal safety, I would normally advise them...

Advise them to buy high value accidental insurance policy, right?

Is that right? In the business of insurance. I know.

Is to move quickly.

Hey.

Eh. - Be careful, careful.

Take your time.

Okay, I am okay. - Walk slowly.

I am okay.

There are so many steps. With your leg, Dad, how will you handle it in the future?

It's okay. There are only 96 steps. No problem.

Aiyo, be careful. It is dangerous.

Uncle, this place was built long time ago, so it won't be a problem with the building codes.

And the tenant just moved out not too long ago.

The condition of the place is okay. Because this is an addition on the roof,

the only issue is that it is hotter in the summertime.

Ah, my dad does not like hot weather.

It's no problem. It's more important for us to find a place to stay.

This place is closer to your office too.

This way you can sleep half an hour more in the morning.

You won't end up wearing a white sock with a black one.

Huh...let me take a look.

I mentioned her dirty laundry.

Uncle, are you satisfied with this place? Do you need more time to consider?

Eh, it's good.

Zi Jie, how much is the rent?

Oh, Uncle, don't worry. The landlord is my long term friend. He will definitely give you a discount.

That would be great.

Mei Liang, if you don't see any problem, I will rent this place.

Oh...it should be okay.

This way, we can take steps to sell our house.

Eh, the rental agreement is downstairs. Come with me to pick it up.

Oh. Then Dad, you just sit here for a while. - I am fine.

Uncle, you should get enough rest.

I will take my time in looking around. Fine. - Don't walk too much. Be careful of falling.

I am fine.

Aiyo.

Huh...thank you for covering for me a moment ago.

You have not told your dad that you changed your job to work as an insurance broker.

Why are you afraid of telling him?

The image of selling insurance is not that good.

Oh, offering insurance service.

And well...I was dismissed by my aunt. If my dad learns about it,

he will be sad since he has been close to my aunt since he was little.

Then I will advise you to figure out how to tell your dad. That would be better.

Almost all the rookies get their first order from people they are closest to.

Ah.

That will scare off all my relatives and friends. I don't want that.

I can't go to those who are close to me.

Let me ask you. If you had a Tianshan Snow Lotus, (Note: Hebra Saussureae Involucratae. Known to have mythical medicinal power in the legend)

that could cure all diseases and provide strength, would you give it to the person closest to you or a complete stranger?

Of course I would give it to my dad. Do you have one?

Insurance is a Tianshan Snow Lotus.

Ah, you can just give me the rent.

Oh. Huh? Give it to you?

Right. My landlord friend is not in Taiwan. He authorized me to take care of everything with the place.

Why the look on your face? I will give your receipt. I won't steal your rent.

Ah, how many months will be required for the deposit?

He said that he doesn't need it.

Why not?

Wow, is the place be built with substandard concrete, or exposed steel rods,

or does it have radiation or is it leaking water?

Could it have been a haunted house, or a crime scene... - Wait, wait, wait.

Have you never been lucky or encountered good people?

Why did you only think of these?

That's right. The family who lives below you

is sensitive to noise. Please lower your volume at night,

and avoid dragging things on the floor, okay?

Oh, don't worry. My dad and I are both very considerate.

But, how can you know all this?

Because I live here. This is my house.

Just put it up there. Thanks.

Mei Liang. Dad feels really sorry about all this.

Now you don't even have a home.

This is fate.

Enough, Dad. Don't think about it. Didn't you say this before?

Where you and I are, and where mom is, is where our home is.

To celebrate our new home, here, let's take a picture.

Sir, could you help take a picture of us?

Sure. - Thank you.

Okay. Here.

Okay. Thanks.

Okay. Smile.

Smile. - Oh.

No matter how bad things get,

they will all pass.

Yeah!

Eh...Brother Jie, did you get it wrong? You registered He Mei Liang in the CEO training class?

Sales agent 3 He Mei Liang.

What is it? What is the problem?

New employees always can register.

And this class is to help them train for the field, and their understanding.

In addition, if they can quickly get up to speed, it will save us from teaching them.

What's wrong with that?

Okay, okay. Then let me ask you. Who is paying for the class? You tell me.

I am her direct supervisor. I will pay 1/3.

The department management 1/3 and the company 1/3.

Stop playing. If she has talent and potential, then she could make you tons of money later. Then it makes sense.
