The Interpreter (亲爱的翻译官)

Hello, Xu Dong?

Jia Yang.

That boss you took a job from wants to speak with you.

He says he wants to discuss more biochemistry terms.

I'm pretty much got it down.

That's great.

Let's meet at the Japanese restaurant from last time.

You two should talk. His company has a lot of jobs.

If you two hit it off, they'll all go to you in the future.

You know how I am. I never like to drink and entertain.

Business is business.

In the past, you didn't need money. You didn't have to entertain.

But now, don't you need money?

For the sake of money, just go.

You have to for your dear Qiao Fei.

All right, stop fussing. I'll go.

Send me the address. Bye.

Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Jia Yang is your son.

You care about him a lot.

Similarly, Qiao Fei is my daughter.

I value her more than my life.

I can understand your feelings toward Jia Yang.

I don't hope that you can understand me in the same way

but you can't insult my daughter in front of me.

Qiao Fei's mother.

Everything I said just now is the truth.

Ever since your daughter hooked up with my son

he has fallen out with his family.

He doesn't even come home or visit his parents.

Think about it.

I painstakingly raised my son to be outstanding and well-mannered.

But after a short time with your daughter

how could he have become someone with no regard for family?

You are also a mother. Put yourself in my shoes.

If your child was taken away by someone, how would you feel?

They are grown up. I will respect their choices.

As long as they can be happy--

As long as they are happy.

But as parents

we can clearly see there is no future and no happiness for the two of them.

Are we going to sit idly by and let them be headstrong?

Qiao Fei's mother.

I came today to make my stance clear.

It is impossible for Qiao Fei to be the Cheng family's daughter-in-law.

Jia Yang's father and I firmly oppose it.

Mrs. Cheng, I know now.

You came today to threaten me.

If you say this is a threat, then I'll...

I'll say it in a different way.

If these two kids continue being headstrong and willful

then they won't receive our blessings.

What does this mean for them? You should understand.

If you say this, then I have nothing to say.

But I am not the same.

What I see is their feelings.

I think they have feelings for each other.

They are too young. They are just being impulsive.

Didn't I say? We understand. We have been in the same position.

Marriage does not just entail feelings.

Moreover, feelings won't always stay the same. Isn't that right?

You don't believe in your son

but I believe in Jia Yang.

He was raised well.

He is good to Fei Fei.

I believe he will keep his promise.

I also understand only Jia Yang will be good to her.

His family won't be.

All right, since you know

then urge your daughter to back off.

Is marriage between two people? It is between two families.

As it is said, one should marry an appropriate match.

One should know his or her place in the world.

Why have so many silly dreams?

Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Why waste so much effort on

things that you cannot reach?

Qiao Fei's mother.

I truly hope our two families

won't be riled up over this matter any longer.

There is no need.

Let's do this.

I know this was a very sudden visit

but I still hope you will consider this during your recovery.

Of course, I hope even more for a quick and decisive end.

And also...

I hope...

not to let our children know about our talk.

Because this is a conversation between mothers.

It is also for the children's good.

I really hope we won't come into contact anymore.

Our paths weren't supposed to cross.

Mom.

What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought.

Not much. Have you eaten yet?

No.

I brought food. We'll eat together.

It seems to be cold. I'll go heat it up.

It's fine. I'm not hungry.

Give me a minute, okay?

Mr. Cheng, impressive!

It hasn't even been two days since I gave you these files

and you've already become a biochemistry expert!

No, that's exaggerating.

I just memorized some biochemistry terms

that are often used in translation.

Your memory is astonishing. He must have a photographic memory.

Of course. I recommended him.

Jia Yang is my good buddy.

He has some power in the Institute.

He has been given the nickname Translation King, King of Translation.

If it were in the past, you wouldn't have been able to hire him for an outside job.

Does the Institute not permit it?

He wasn't willing to. He was too proud.

But he is out to earn money now for his girlfriend.

Mr. Cheng, you are a man with heart!

I will have you as my friend.

Come, cheers.

From now on, all of my company's translations will depend on you.

- Thank you, President Wu. - Jia Yang.

This is mixed sake. Can you drink it?

No problem.

He translates well. His tolerance must be great as well.

Here, cheers. Bottoms up.

- President Wu, bottoms up. - Good. Thank you.

Fei Fei, just leave it here. I'll take care of it.

I'll do it, Mom.

I'll make noodles for you tomorrow.

Jia Yang praised me for cooking them well today.

Now that you mention him, I remember.

The nurses were talking about you two today.

About what?

They asked me

if my daughter likes Jia Yang more or if Jia Yang likes my daughter more.

I asked how I would know.

You grew up in a single-parent family.

In love, you would definitely protect yourself from getting hurt.

Mom, I had thought

I wouldn't lose myself in love.

Our company has a large volume of translations.

They'll all be up to you from now on.

Here, here.

One more, one more.

- Thank you. - Jia Yang.

- Here. - I'm drinking.

Good.

Here, President Wu. To you.

- Don't drink anymore. - Come on.

I am very happy to get to know you today.

I also hope to be your friend.

From now on, if you need me for anything, don't hesitate to ask.

I will definitely do a good job.

All right! I am relieved to hear you say that.

- Okay! - I'm fine.

- I'm fine. - He's fine. Come on.

- President Wu, I'm very happy! - Here, drink.

Mom, I found out there are two types of people in the world.

Some people can fall in love very easily

and then very easily stop loving.

There is another type of person.

They won't fall in love that easily

but when they do

they can't let it go.

Mom.

Jia Yang and I both belong in the latter group.

Jia Yang.

Are you crazy? You drank so much.

Xu Dong, I'm fine.

It's worth it.

I am going to take all of his company's jobs.

Then Qiao Fei and I will have the down payment.

I'm going to puke.

The restroom's that way. You've never been able to have mixed drinks.

Have you forgotten your stomach bleeding before?

- Are you okay? - I'm fine. Really.

- Are you really okay? - I'm really okay.

- I'm fine after throwing up. - Hao Zhe came from the Institute.

What hasn't he been through before?

Exactly. Hao Zhe is actually from the Institute.

He is young and talented.

The third class.

He was groomed to be a young manager.

The Institute? That place consists of high-end experts.

What happened? Why was he dismissed?

It's because Hao Zhe is honest and open. He offended a mean person.

Who dared to cause harm to our Hao Zhe?

I heard it was the son of an official with the last name Cheng.

His name is Cheng Jia Yang.

He and I cannot exist in the same place.

Does he own the Institute?

From now on, it's either him or me!

This Cheng Jia Yang, besides bullying Hao Zhe at work

even stole Hao Zhe's girlfriend!

Qiao Fei.

Bitch! Shameless!

Vain.

Jia Yang!

Listen to me. You're drunk. Don't bother with him, okay?

He can talk about me, but he can't talk about Qiao Fei, okay?

Jia Yang!

Jia Yang, are you crazy? Are you going to fight?
