The Day of Days (Chaw M Kai Si Lok / 初五启市录 / 初五啟市錄)

I'll take over Huadi Pier then

I want to help out in the company

The two of us will get what we want

I should do something

Our Wing Cheong Shing will work with your Hip Wo Hong

I'm confident that Huadi will flourish

Why are you going so slow? Go faster

Miss Man's here. She's throwing a fit OK

Did you enjoy your trip to Italy?

No, I didn't

Why? Wasn't it fun travelling in Italy?

You know why

You haven't seen me for more than two months

Now you're turning your back on me

If you hate seeing me so much I'd better leave Hey

Nga-man, I told you I had business to do

I told you to wait at home But you didn't listen to me

Someone stood me up Why would I listen to her?

I don't want to go home. I want to eat here

Eat? I stood you up. The food is innocent Why did you take it out on the waitress too?

Would you have come to see me if I hadn't?

Yes, I would

I came to see you after my meeting finished

It won't help even if you throw a tantrum

I haven't seen you in more than two months You're not considerate at all

I know you want to see me very much But you can't just think of yourself

Boss Yip is Hip Wo Hong's major client

Do you know how great the loss would be if we offended him?

Have you ever put yourself in my shoes? You need be reasonable

Miss Wun, Boss Yip asked if the food can be served. He's waiting for you

Go. Entertain your client. I'm fine

We got the deal done just now It's OK to decline his offer for dinner

OK. I'll take care of it

This meal is particularly good

It's worth not eating with Boss Yip to you smile again

Well, did you enjoy yourself in Italy?

I did. Oh, I bought you a gift

Wow, it's so beautiful

You always go out on business I worry you'll catch a cold

You better carry a scarf with you This is the most famous brand in Italy

Thank you

Oh, I've changed the bed sheets for you so you'll sleep more comfortably

Thank you, Sis Wun

Where did you go in Italy?

Why is it so bright? Auntie Cheung

Miss Man, what's the matter?

Miss Man

Why is it so sunny? How can I sleep?

Right. There was a tree before to shade the room

I bet the gardener trimmed it

Why did he do that?

Recently there were lots of cicadas

Miss Wun didn't want their noise to disturb your sleep

She told us to do something about it So we asked the gardener to trim the tree

OK

Why don't I get you a thicker window screen to block the sunlight?

OK. You do that I'll go then

Miss Man, do you want to carry on sleeping?

Forget it. I don't want to sleep now

It's so good Quite good

Sis Man, you're up?

Nga-man, come eat lunch... No, this is breakfast time for Nga-man

Auntie Cheung, hurry and serve breakfast for Nga-man Yes

Good morning Nga-man

Auntie Hing, Nga-man hasn't been away that long, you've already forgotten?

Are you really that old?

What do you mean I'm old? Nga-man went to Italy for two months

I thought her habits might have changed Who knew she's still the same?

Thank you, Auntie Hing

I don't see any problem with my habits I don't need to change

Did Sis Wun carry the scarf I bought her when she went to work this morning?

She did

Nga-man, thanks for the gifts you brought back from Italy

Nga-man always has taste

You have the best taste, Auntie Hing

The Italian sheepskin gloves you picked are the most expensive of all the gifts

Really? I do have taste

Don't be mad. Let me tell you some gossip

What gossip?

Last night I went to Purple Cave Boat Do you know who I saw?

Who? Boss So

Are you serious?

He kept hugging the girls He seemed so excited

That's impossible. Last time I asked him to go there to talk business

He told me that he never goes to indecent places

He's a hypocrite

What's so surprising about that?

You're wrong to think that

Miss Man, you're not eating?

Is there a cat that doesn't eat fish?

I'm not eating. I'm full

A dead cat won't eat fish

What about a sick cat?

Tung, where's Master Wo?

Miss Man, I'm not Tung. I'm Fai

Whatever. Where's Master Wo?

Did he go to Pak Lok Mun to watch movies again?

No, Master Wo now manages Huadi Pier for Miss Wun

So he usually works there Huadi Pier?

There's business. Brothers, there's business

Why are there so many beggars?

They're coolies

I don't care who they are Just make them go away

Go away...Go away... Hey

Step on it

It's really money

Go away. Stop. No one's allowed to take the money

We're coolies, not beggars Don't take the money

But it's stupid not to take it

Whoever takes the money is a beggar

I can go to the mahjong school

Lady boss

What's going on?

Where did the money come from? Did God give it to us?

No. Just now a car passed by A rich girl inside threw the money out

Of course we took it Give it to me

What? This is enough to buy half a month's rice

Brother Fei

It's true that this is enough for doing that

That's right

You guys give me the money I'll return it to her

No, please don't

Who was that rich girl?

We don't know

Chief, I saw the driver He works for the Tongs

I see

She must be a rich girl from the Tongs

The Tongs are really funny They're either dumb or they hate money

We'll have nothing but good luck if we knew someone from the Tongs

Hey, give me the money. Come on

Are you serious?

Whoever doesn't turn over the money will be fired. Come on. Give it to me

Pick up the ones on the ground. Do it Come on...What about yours?

I don't have any... Bad son. Here you go

Uncle Kin, what are you writing? Let me help you

I'm just copying the newspaper If there's something interesting I copy it

I get to practice my handwriting too

Right. It's good to do that

Later you'll need to write the invoices and receipts

We don't have business yet So there's leisure time

But we'll be really busy when there's business later

Brother Wo

Nga-man? Why did you come here?

I have nothing to do The servants said you're here

So I came to see you I haven't seen you since I came back

Last night you went to dinner with Nga-wun till late

Of course I had gone to bed

Why have you suddenly taken over the pier? Can you manage?

I'll learn. I quite like this place

Master Wo

Hi, Fei Hi

Let me introduce. This is So Fei He's my good friend

He runs a coolie house nearby This is Miss Tong Nga-man

I was right. How do you do, Miss Tong? OK...OK

Although there are just two employees in our warehouse

we have the support of Fei's Wing Cheong Shing and his brothers

We can handle any amount of goods

We have enough manpower

That's right

Are there goods to handle now? Those were his guys?

My brothers are strong They're the elites among the elites

I saw them. They're crippled, blind skinny and weak. You say they're strong?

Wait, Miss Tong What now?

Just now you accidentally dropped some money

My brothers are honest They picked it up for you

I came to give you back to your money

I don't want it. It's so dirty Don't give it to me

I'm sorry. Nga-man hates dirty stuff

But this is your money. You don't want it?

No, I don't. You keep it. Take it away

What? No, how can I take your money? I've done nothing for you

Then give it to someone in need

OK I'll give it to someone in need then You're really so kind

Brother Wo, I don't want to stay here

Why don't I show you around?

Miss Tong, watch the steps

You have to work here on a long-term basis?

Yes, Miss Tong. If I work with the Tongs I won't ruin your reputation

Soon this place will be packed with goods

I don't care about that

Anyway, all the Tongs are so nice Just talk us up

Then the brothers of Wing Cheong Shing will be able to live a good life

Brother Wo, I want to find a quiet place to talk to you alone

I don't want to see random people

Why don't I take a walk with you outside?

Why have you taken over this place?

Did Auntie Hing and Uncle Nin bully you? If so, I'll talk to Sis Wun for you

Of course not. I wanted to Uncle Nin is right. I'm a grown-up

I haven't made any contribution to the family. It's time I did something

They just don't want to work

You're too nice You believe everything they say

I feel good. My life is more meaningful if I have work to do

I wouldn't do it if I were you I'd rather go on holiday

Most important of all, your older sis works so tirelessly at Hip Wo Hong

I want to share her burden

How could there be so much work to do? Sis has to work. You have to work too

Who will keep me company then?

In the past whenever sis went to work

you were the only person in the family who would play and talk with me

Now you have to go to work too I'm alone. I'm so bored
