Boss & Me

Boss & Me

Episode 12

Last time Feng Teng was in America, secrecy was crucial, so we couldn't tell anyone, including you.

We made you very worried and scared, sorry about that.

I've been waiting for a chance to apologise to you.

Who says I was scared?!

You weren't scared or worried? Then shall we just say ... you were a little tense?

Shan Shan and Zheng Qi seem to enjoy talking to each other.

Yes, Shan Shan has always been very easy to get along with.

Easy to get along ...

That doesn't make her special enough for you to bring her to celebrate the New Year at your family home, does it?

Our family is pretty small. Having her here makes it a little more lively, doesn't it?

You know, I've always thought that the kind of woman you like would be similar to Auntie ...

Elegant, beautiful, multitalented ...

Also with outstanding business acumen.

Someone as outstanding as my mother ... How many such women are there in this world?

You know, when it comes to matters of the heart, I like to just go with the flow.

Be careful, let me help you.

- Let's fish! Come, Li Shu, be careful, this way, this way, ... - Let's fish!

- Slowly, slowly, ... Here you go! - Let me set up the fishing line for you.

What about Shan Shan?

- Shan Shan! - Here, this one's for you, let's fish together.

Thanks.

Do you know how to fish?

No.

Then, go over there and pick radishes.

He's impossible!

If you guys want to fish, just fish! Why are you dictating how I spend my time?

Making a tiny woman like me pick radishes in such a cold weather.

Finally! I did it!

Forget it, forget it!

Right now, I'm a freeloader ... I eat his food, stay at his place, and sleep under his roof.

Even the air ticket is paid for by him.

I'll just have to deal with these stubborn radishes for him as repayment.

No, I will destroy these radishes!

Come out!

You've been at it for so long, and yet only managed to picked so few?

The radishes are really stubborn, I pulled and pulled, but they won't even budge.

Xue Shan Shan

You were the one who said you don't know how to fish.

Then I can learn.

Didn't you say ...

you don't like to "use a long line to catch a big fish"?

Now, I'm interested.

Alright?

Then, do you want to send a signal to those people who are fishing right there?

Hold this.

You have to let everyone know that this fish pond is now under your ownership.

Li Shu!

Stop.

Don't you feel dizzy walking back and forth? You are making me dizzy!

Ever since you got back this afternoon, you've been ill-at-ease, so what's wrong?

There's nothing wrong, I'm just casually walking around to lose a bit of weight.

Right now, what you seem to be trying to lose is your heartache.

Li Shu

What is wrong with you today?

I feel that you weren't very kind to Shan Shan.

Didn't you say before that you thought of her as your own sister?

When was I unkind to her?

It's just that, when I asked Shan Shan back then, she explicitly told me that she didn't like Feng Teng.

But now, it's only been a few days, and she's all the way here at his family residence.

I'm just very surprised, that's all.

- Shan Shan told you that she didn't like my brother? - Yes!

Li Shu, let me ask you something, and you need to answer me honestly.

If you don't say anything right now, I'm afraid you'll never get another chance.

What is it?

You're in love with my brother?

So what if I'm in love with him?

There was never a time when I didn't love him.

So you really like my brother?!

Then how come you never told me?

I still remember ... when we were in high school, wasn't it?

Yes, when we were in high school, I used to joke about the two of you, and you even scolded me about it!

- You ... - That was because my mom was always against it.

Auntie Fang?!

No way! Auntie Fang loves my brother!

That's not the point.

Despite how close we are to your family, she has always felt that she's just a nanny.

If Feng Teng and I were together, people would've felt that ...

my family is using their daughter to get into the Feng family's social circle.

When did my family ever care about such things? You really think too much!

Besides, you're not just the daughter of a nanny anymore.

Do you still remember what the Shanghai media said about you just recently?

They called you the most beautiful and cultured star of Shanghai.

How can you not be a good match for my brother?

You've always been by his side, always following him around wherever he goes ...

You didn't even speak up for your own future, I really admire your self-control.

For this kind of thing, how can a girl be the one to speak up first?

In the war of love, the person confesses first is the one that loses the war.

I won't say anything, I'll let you tell him yourself.

You could've at least dropped him a hint, right?

Today is the very first time I realize that you've always had feelings for my brother.

You've kept your feelings hidden all too well!

Then tell me ... What kind of hints did Xue Shan Shan give Feng Teng?

If Feng Teng really likes someone, he'll surely make a move!

Of course, my hope is that Feng Teng would make the move because he likes me,

not just because he notices that I like him.

Okay! Fine! If you treasure your dignity that much, just stay by his side and let your life revolve around him!

When he ends up marrying someone else, I'll tell you that you deserve it.

It's not about what I deserve, it's about fate.

If it was meant to me, I'll just have to accept it.

Let me tell you ...

Please don't tell Feng Teng what I've just told you, you hear me?

If you tell him, I'll go away ... I'll disappear right before your eyes!

Are you okay?

I'm fine! He's not that unforgettable, it's not the end of the world.

To be honest, I'm probably just not used to the fact that the girl Feng Teng likes turned out to be Xue Shan Shan.

If it were any of his previous socialite girlfriends, I would've been fine.

Why did it have to be Xue Shan Shan?

Feng Teng, why don't you let her go home first? We don't know when we'll be done with our dinner.

Yes, yes, you should go home, they have me here to help out.

Okay, go back and rest early. Happy Chinese New Year.

Thank you, Sir, Happy Chinese New Year. Sir and Miss, Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. Good night.

Here we go! Dinner is served!

Uncle Wang!

You should go home and celebrate the New Year.

Miss Xue, I've been spending Chinese New Year at the Feng household for half my life.

S-sorry.

Uncle Wang, there are no outsiders here any longer, please sit.

Please sit, Uncle Wang, let's all celebrate this year's New Year as one big happy family!

- Thank you, thank you. - Uncle Wang, please take a seat!

- Thank you. - No problem, please sit.

Shan Shan, my apologies, we're making you eat this year's New Year's Eve family dinner with us,

but we don't even know whether our food would suit your taste.

But our Feng family's vegetables are the freshest of all!

Also, whoever eats the radishes tonight must thank Shan Shan

because she picked them all by herself!

Ms. Feng, although all the radishes are picked by me, after all, they still belong to the Feng family.

So, Miss Feng, ...

I'm so sad! Why are you still calling me Ms. Feng?

Shan Shan, last time you spent your New Year back at home, who did you celebrate with?

New Year celebration back at home? There were so many people!

Every year, our New Year's Eve dinner would include my dad, my mom, and my eldest uncle, and also my grandpa,

also my elder cousin Liu Liu and my eldest aunt, we would all eat together!

Every year, my younger cousin Tong Tong would ask for "lucky money" (money as New Year's gift) from me.

- He would always ask me ... - Let's eat. - Yes, yes, let's eat.

Uncle Wang, we must make this very talkative person go home tomorrow.

- So noisy! - Okay.

What's wrong with you guys? When you say 'one happy family', you include only yourselves!

None of you includes me in your well wishes!

Am I not homeless as well? I only have you guys to celebrate the New Year with!

You also don't have your family here? Then why don't you go back home to celebrate the New Year?

Shan Shan, ignore him. His parents are in America.

They only celebrate western holidays like Christmas.

Zheng Qi, not that I want to pick on you, but why didn't we get any Christmas gifts from you this year?

- Did you get anything? - No, I didn't.

- What about you? - No, nothing.

And you still have the nerve to continue being a freeloader and have New Year dinner with us? You're impossible!

Haven't I earned these benefits by following Feng Teng all the way back to Shanghai?

- If not for me, where do you think he'll be? - Don't pay him any salary, okay?

Eat, eat, eat!

- Come, eat this. - Try this one, I made it. - You made this?

- Yes, it's my own creation, taste it. - Actually, Uncle Wang made it. - You can't lie to me.

- This is definitely the best hotpot! - Definitely.

- Let me do it, let me do it. - Let me do it!

Shan Shan!

- Don't be so eager to prove you're such a "manly woman"! - No, I don't mean to! But he's so clumsy.

Let me tell you, Big Boss Feng.

It is now 2014, and you're still messing around with charcoal stove to warm yourself!

Can't you get a high-tech heating furnace or something?

With this old stove of yours, it's so much hard work for me!

You talk too much.

She's the one who talks too much.

You're right.

- Li Shu! Where's Auntie Fang? - You're all here!

She doesn't feel like getting out of the house today, so she's not coming.

Auntie Fang hasn't come outside for years.

Yan Qing and I will go and see her later.

- How is her health these days? - Same as before ... coughing as usual.

No matter how much I persuade her, she's refusing to go to a hospital.

Then, Auntie Fang is refusing to make herself better.

In that case, when we visit her later on, we'll bring along some tonic for her.

It's New Year's Eve! Let's not just sit around.

Why don't we all dance?

Listen to my instruction carefully, okay?

Right foot back.

It's alright.

Come, right foot back.

Left foot.

Right foot.

I'm sorry.

Listen carefully.

Right foot.

I'm sorry.

Right foot back.

- Left. - Right.

Big Boss Feng, you need a gentler touch when teaching a girl. With you looking so stern, how can she learn anything?

Come, let me teach her.

I'll teach you.

Come, first move ... On your left foot, okay? One, two, three.

- I'm sorry. - Never mind, never mind, let's start again.

Yes, just like that!

- Let's work on that turn, okay? One, two, three. - One, two, three.

I'm sorry, so sorry.

Never mind.

Let me give it a try.
