Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

It's daytime?

I was going to wake you up for sunrise.

But you were sound asleep.

I can't bear to wake you up.

Did you sleep well?

What time is it?

A bit after 8 a.m.?

I slept quite well.

I slept all through the night without a single dream.

Have some water.

Thanks.

How do you intend to repay me?

How do you want me to repay you?

It's Saturday.

Why don't you spend the weekend with me?

But...

There's a lot of work to do.

It seems that we'll have to stay in the office all day.

You want me to accompany you in your office?

I'm not going there.

We're at least business partners?

No.

We're on a personal level today so don't try to pull that off.

My mom.

She's calling me so often.

I reckon that she must have heard that you're here

so she's asking after you?

Hello?

- Mom? - Bao Bao.

What are your plans for this weekend?

This weekend...

I have to work overtime.

There's a lot to handle in the factories.

You have to work overtime?

Is Andie there with you?

Why don't you go to work?

I'll keep Andie company.

What will you be doing with Andie?

I'll take her out for tea, grab lunch and go shopping.

It's just girl stuff.

Why would you ask so much about it?

I think that you're just trying to probe into Andie's background?

I just want to get to know her better.

Why do you make it sound so bad?

Andie has to accompany me.

Go hang out with your friends.

You heard her.

If you don't come with me, you'll be pestered by my mom.

Mom, I'll send you the address now.

Come and pick up Andie.

I haven't sent it yet.

Hello, Qian Qian?

Where's that fitness center you told me about?

Why can't I find it?

It's above a Korean cafe?

VP Bao, take a look.

It's the new chart they sent over.

I've signed this contract.

Get the legal personnel to go through it.

If there's nothing amiss, get the client to sign it.

- Yes. - Go on.

Sure.

VP Bao, these three parts just came in.

- Hello. - Hello.

I've called in advance.

- My last name is Guan. - Miss Guan?

Please come with me.

Please have a seat.

What kind of dance are you interested in learning?

I'd like to learn belly dancing or pole dancing.

This is our classroom.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hey.

Did you see that?

I saw a woman walk out of VP Bao's office.

Could it be his girlfriend?

It must be!

Who do you think his new girlfriend is?

Why would he take her to the office?

I don't know.

What's the matter?

The parts that Wang Bai Chuan sent over.

It didn't pass the test.

Forget it. Don't bother looking at it. You don't know about it.

What's wrong with it?

Quality issues.

The workmanship and texture aren't up to scratch.

Zhao is the engineer of quality check.

Andie, my girlfriend.

Zhao, please explain it to her.

Sure. Director Wang's samples are axle bearings.

It might be a small part but its quality has to be the finest.

This is because it affects the operation and service life of an engine.

Material wise, it's easy to improve.

The workmanship is the issue here.

Simply put, it's the difference in coefficient of friction.

If the workmanship is poor, it causes too much friction.

Then our product is unable to offer the service life we guaranteed.

That's a more serious issue.

Although you referred Wang Bai Chuan to me

business is business.

I can't accept this product.

It's okay.

I understand.

If I were you, I'll make the same decision.

I'll give him a call later to apologize.

You don't have to. Leave it to me.

Since I referred him to you, I should be the one to explain it.

But if the two issues that Engineer Zhao pointed out

can be resolved by Wang Bai Chuan

can you give him another chance?

I get to have a say in it.

Sure.

Thanks for the coffee you got me.

What are you staring at?

What's there to stare at?

You're beautiful.

You're really so beautiful.

You can't look at pretty things every day.

I won't have you get addicted to romance.

What if you slack off at work?

What are we to do then?

How would I?

It's because I have you that I work harder than ever before.

I'm not having those.

When did you get in touch with VP Bao?

You even delivered samples to him?

I asked Andie for a favor.

For someone like VP Bao, if there's no one to refer me to him

I can't even get a call through to him, let alone a business cooperation.

When was that? Why didn't I know of it?

It's about a month ago?

I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you.

But then, I was worried that you'd misunderstand me.

You might think that I'm making excuses not to help you with your family

so I had no choice but to tell you.

You don't blame me, do you?

Why would I?

It's good that you're so motivated.

I can't be more pleased.

That's good.

Xiao Mei, don't worry.

I'll keep my promise to you.

I believe in you.

As long as you work hard, we'll buy a house soon.

We can have our own home in Shanghai.

Sure.

Ms. Guan!

This is our class schedule. Please take a look.

The classes usually start at 18:30 p.m.

It's suitable for office workers.

Here are the rates for our membership.

You can get monthly, quarterly or annual passes.

I'd advise you to get the annual pass.

It's a better deal.

Sure, I'll think about it.

Sure.

Take this with you.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

- Thank you. Goodbye. - Bye bye.

This workout is simply too much for me.

I sprain myself whenever I work out.

It hurts so much.

Look at the time.

They still haven't come home?

Sheng Mei and Ying Ying are both out dating.

Andie has Bao Yi Fan and Xiao Xiao has Dr. Zhao.

Only Guan Ju Er is lonely on Saturday nights.

Although she's often a quiet person

she walked to and fro several times in the apartment out of loneliness.

In the end, she thoughtfully left the door unlocked for her roommates

without calling them to disturb their lovely night out.

That night, Guan Ju Er recalled every man who courted her since high school.

Andie, I visited quite a few fitness centers and dance studios this weekend.

I think that I prefer belly dancing to pole dancing.

You made a good choice.

You'll easily get hurt in pole dancing if you don't know the basics.

That's why I drew up a chart at home.

I found the place with the best price–performance ratio.

You can take a look when you have the time.

I plan to sign up after Labor Day.

Then I'm going to get an annual pass.

I'll be able to do the classes for a longer period.

It will surely work better for me.

The staff also told me that I can get a discount

if I get a friend to sign up as well.

Dancing doesn't suit me.

I'd like to do boxing.

Boxing?

- You don't think so? - Sure.

Do they have boxing classes?

Yes, they have boxing gyms.

I'll email you the top three picks when I get to my office.

You can take a look.

You can choose the one you like.

Compare the classrooms and classes.

We can discuss our preference later.

I don't have to consider. Your choice can't be wrong.

You take all factors into consideration.

I trust you in your choices.
