Still Lala (我是杜拉拉 / Wo Shi Du La La)

Episode 4

Du Lala.

You are not young anymore.

The two of you, regarding children...

Tell me, what are your thoughts?

That... we

thought about it. - Definitely thought about it.

Your grandson's mother works all day and is tired when she gets home.

Right now, she still must cook, do housework, laundry, and all sorts of stuff.

Wait until she returns to the bedroom, she's so tired like a dead fish.

How can she still 'welcome' your grandson?

Like you're the one 'welcoming'.

You're right.

My problem. I'll improve it... I'll improve.

Lala, Lala... What are you doing?

I'm washing the dishes. - You can't. Let me wash them.

There's no need. I'll wash them quickly.

No, no, no... you can't wash them.

I'll do it.

I'll be done washing them very quickly.

Lala, starting from now,

all the household duties are no longer your concern.

I'll cover it all.

That's not proper. You came to our house as a guest. How can I let you do housework?

What's not proper? If you really feel bad about it,

then you should carry on with 'manufacturing'.

Manufacturing? - Yes, manufacture a grandson for me.

You and Xiao Wei, are responsible for reproduction.

You guys are in charge of making a person.

I'll be in charge of dropping your manual labour index.

That.. Mom, speaking of children...

It's not like saying it means we'll have them.

It's not like chives, you cut one strand and receive another strand, right?

Yes, yes, yes.

You shouldn't spoil something with a lot of enthusiasm.

and pull scallions from the dry gland, right?

Dry land?

Lala, could it be you have some problems?

I'm really fine. - Mom... Lala, seriously.

Just thank mom's painstaking effort should be fine.

Mom, don't worry, dry land, even if it is, it'll be wet soon.

We'll go carry on with reproduction. Let's go.

Right now you're reproducing?

Why did you block me?

I feel there's some stuff I need to talk with mom.

It's not good keeping it from her.

Why are you like a wheel?

Let it go. It's hard to come by, being muddleheaded.

She's already feeling pleased and looking forward to the 5 cereals of harvest. Don't tell her you haven't sowed the seeds. Are you looking for trouble?

Besides, it's not the autumn harvest season yet.

When it's autumn harvest season, then what? We won't bring out anything.

There's a lot of things that aren't related to the farmer. For instance, climate.

For instance, humidity. For instance, sunlight. These things cannot be controlled, right?

But if the seeds haven't been sowed, then the problem is the farmer's conduct.

No, we still need to be frank with mom.

She doesn't need it. She also won't know the truth.

Because you won't betray me, and I definitely won't betray you, right?

Hubby.

Your great effort... should not be underestimated.

Tricking your own mother is the same old, same old.

But you're even tricking me now without turning red or getting nervous.

Wifey, I'm fixing a problem.

Would you rather blow up the matter?

What do you mean?

You mean that I'm blowing up the whole thing?

All right, I'll go right now to blow it up.

Stop it. - What are you going to do?

You want to go all out?

Not bad, not bad.

With just one shot, the expert knows whether it's good or not.

Your concept is very good. It's in the correct direction.

For Human Resources of SH, you seem to have a good grip over the pulse.

I haven't said it, but I support you 100%.

Thank you, Manager Huang.

With you in charge, why don't you gather a small team

and make the recruitment process concrete and straightforward.

I also think it's greatly probable to make the recruitment process a bit more elegant.

But right now I don't have anyone working under me.

I'm afraid that with just Jin Jing, she won't be able to do it.

So...

Tell me.

I don't know if I can get Manager Huang's support.

As long as it's for the greater good of the company, I will definitely agree.

You want to pull some people from my team?

I knew you wouldn't be so happy after hearing this.

It's like this, the recruitment process that I'm managing lacks workers and I really don't have enough on my team,

and you know Jin Jing has limitations as well.

I came because I had no other choice.

Anyway, Manager Huang is fine with it. It's all up to you now.

Manager Huang said okay?

Then do I even have a choice?

All right, then. I'll lend An Wei Wei to you.

What I'm doing right now is re-establishing the wage system. This requires a very good work ethic and expertise.

Only someone like Xiao Qian, who has the experience and finance and accounting background can help me.

I asked Manager Huang especially for Zuo Xiao Qian.

But it's alright, Lala, if there are difficulties with this,

or if you don't want to. I can arrange for someone different.

Besides, we do have a competitive standing with each other.

So you didn't come today to discuss it with me but to force me right?

Then since it's like this, then okay. I'll give Zuo Xiao Qian to you.

Her work ethic is strong, and I'm happy she'll be going over to you.

After all, you are given extra funds for this project. She can earn more at your side.

That is correct.

Then how long do you need to borrow her?

What do you mean how long?

Didn't you say you were going to borrow someone? If you borrow you have to return. Let me calculate.

How many employees?

I never really thought about this.

That's not right. You already talked through this with Manager Huang. You must have been very thorough.

How about this. Start thinking about this today. Starting from this afternoon,

how many days do you need? Give me an exact number.

Five days. - Five days.

Then I'll calculate it with five days.

Lala, you're so good to the people under you.

Of course, I don't just have to manage relationships but also people.

I believe that like me, you won't treat Zuo Xiao Qian badly. Is that right?

No problem.

Xiao Qian, you can hand over the contract to me.

What is it? I've been working on this the whole time.

Did I do something wrong?

No, that's not it. You did such a good job, so someone had their eye on you.

It's a good thing. Kathy picked you personally.

Help her with the improvements for the recruitment process.

But Lala-

Xiao Qian, from today on, you'll be next to me.

Jin Jing, there's a conference in the meeting room. Hurry.

Go ahead. Kathy will fill you in with the specifics.

Why do I have to go with her?

It's alright. Don't hold onto any anger.

Go on. Good luck.

Let me tell you, Kathy Jie took some drastic measures this time.

She was too cruel.

She knew Zuo Xiao Qian was already with Lala,

so isn't she just undermining?

I heard that the General Manager reluctantly accepted it without complaint.

HR's matters are the Manager's matters.

Lala, I think Kathy was very wrong.

She was undermining, was she not?

Undermine... this word is quite funny.

Then why did she dig through this wall and not that one? (wordplay for undermine)

I don't know.

Xiao Qian works well and has a small number of things to say.

She's a lot stronger than some loose-lipped people.

That's right. I also really hate those workplace gossipers.

I think those are really annoying.

As long as you aren't one, then it's fine.

I'm definitely not.

I'll arrange some things for you to do then.

Xiao Qian is helping Kathy, so you can help me out.

But I have so many things on hand-

I don't have anything on my hands.

I will learn well from you.

Mind your business if it's not yours, but do it well if it's your business.

Right.

Is it really that hard? It's all wrong?

Where's Wei Wei?

She already got off work.

Off work?

5:30 PM, she's really on time isn't she?

Do you need anything?

It's nothing. I'll leave you to work.

No answer.

Li Jie.

Zhang Ge.

You're helping clean our Director's room again.

Um...Your Director likes to keep things clean.

She hates having dust on her desk after a business trips.

Our Li Jie just left for a business trip and you're already cleaning.

Such an empty room without the owner...

Are you missing her just from seeing her things now that she's gone?

Hey, do you even know what 'Wu Shi Ren Fei' means? Using it randomly.

Let me tell you, 'Wu Shi Ren Fei' means she has already passed away.

Are you planning to take over her position?

I-I'm loyal to Li Jie.

Like you, but our aim is different.

You are for her feelings, I am for work.

Oh right. Why are you back after work?

I left some stuff, so I came back to retrieve it.

It's quite exhausting working overtime for another department, isn't it?

I'm leaving.

I'm paying my own overtime fees.

She's not answering either.

Hey, Li Jie. You're back. Why didn't answer the phone?

Lala, I'm Si Yuan.

Xiao Zhang, Li Jie isn't there?

Uh... She's not back yet.

She was suppose to come back today, but something probably went wrong so there's probably a delay.

Okay, then. It's nothing important.

Okay. Bye bye.

It's after work.

Xiao Zhang's in Li Jie's office.

Tough Love. Xiao Zhang's road to love is difficult.

What's wrong? Did you have a good day today?

Everything went well at the company?

The company is fine, but I'm not.

What's wrong? - What's wrong?
