[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP27 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 27] I was so overwhelmed with work these days. There are so many things to do in the firm. I couldn’t catch a break at all. All this time, it was you who was giving me a hand in secret. Xingfu, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You burned this dish.
No, I didn’t. What? Guan Tao. Dongshan Group ditched us. Why? The meeting went smoothly. Why? Ask Wang Qinglai. He’s the reason. What does he have anything to do with it? I asked him to deliver my proposal, but he still hasn’t done it. Dongshan Group then thought we didn’t work efficiently enough,
So they signed with another firm. End of story. Guan Tao. Wang Qinglai is not good for us. It’s a case worth more than two million. Two million! Down the drain. I see. I’ll deal with it. Go back to work. Hello? Xingfu, can we talk? [Fangyuan Law Firm] Mr. Guan.
You know what happened, don’t you? Tell me now. What was Wang Qinglai thinking? Yes, it was me who suggested employing him, so whatever mistakes he made, everyone tried to move past them. Due to him, we now lost a client. We now lost two million yuan. Mr. Guan. I didn’t know
It would be this serious. Then… Is it still salvageable? Perhaps there was another reason. But the reason they gave us was that we were inefficient. And that, we can’t argue. It’s all my fault. I didn’t remind him enough. How many times do I have to tell you?
He and you are two different individuals. You have nothing to do with this. We’re all adults here. We should own up to our mistakes. Fire him then. I haven’t made a decision yet. Ask him to decide for himself. Noted. Xiaozhen. Yes, Xingfu? Did you run into Qinglai? No, I did not. I see.
It’s nothing. [I’m going back home.] Hi. Mr. Guan. Can I take a leave? Dou, don’t take it. Mom. Xingfu, aren’t you busy with work? He just woke up. Dou! Good boy. Look how big you are. Don’t catch a cold. Mom, where’s Qinglai? He came back yesterday and went to sleep right away without eating.
Then, he left this morning. Okay. I’ll go look for him. I’ll be back, all right, Dou? -Your mommy is back. -Be a good boy. He’s so quiet. Don’t wear yourself out. All right. Your mommy left. Did Guan Tao fire me? He didn’t. He said it’s up to us.
I’m too ashamed to face them. I didn’t know it was that important. I know you resent me for botching a simple task like that. The firm lost more than two million because of this. Even selling me will not make up for the loss. It’s because office work isn’t what you want to do.
You want to work on a plot. That’s why you couldn’t do it well. What are you implying? That I’m too vulgar? Yes, I am. And you have become all modernized. This is not what I meant. I don’t get it. Back then, you were capable and hardworking. But once you were in the city,
You shunned physical labor. You refused to learn and wanted to take shortcuts. You latched onto others. Because I’m desperate. Why? Why? Yes. Why am I desperate? He Xingfu, let me tell you why. How can I not be desperate when I witness how quickly you grow? Sometimes, I couldn’t sleep at night.
I hate it. I don’t hate others or Guan Tao. I hate myself. Why can’t I be like Guan Tao? Xingfu. Do you know? I can work myself to death, but I still can never be the one to teach you, to enlighten you, to instruct you how to drive, or to guide you.
I think and think. In the city, I would always fall behind. Behind you! And I kept dragging you down with my incompetence. Do you know how it feels like to see the person you’re in love with running in front of you, and you know you can never catch up,
But you still force yourself anyway? Do you like farming that much? I used to think I prefer farming. But after a few years in the city, I realized that I did not like it at all. It’s just I’m good at it. What’s so good about working on a plot?
You work under the sun. You get soaked. You get mud everywhere. You work yourself to death for a few coins. I’d be lying if I said I love it. Then why did you come back here? Xingfu, after three decades, I realized this is the only thing I can do.
This is the only thing I’m good at. Standing here and taking in the scent, I can know right away when to apply the fertilizer and when to use the pesticide. I just have to listen to it to know when to thin and when it will bear fruit. It’s reassuring. It’s reassuring,
But you can’t stay within your comfort zone forever. You have to move forward. So many people leave rural areas to work in the city. They get by perfectly. Yes, you keep telling me that. The city is good. Everyone wants to go there. But in the city, I feel like an idiot. Every day,
I rush here and there, gritting my teeth. Afraid of screwing up and being looked down upon. And it’s so weird. Whatever I do, it’s always wrong. I’m tired. Very tired. So is everyone. Those who want to have a comfortable life are all tired. Xingfu, I know it’s tough on you too.
You suffered a lot with me in the past few years. Go back to the city. We’re different. You are meant to be the cloud in the sky, and I am the soil. I can never reach you. Go back. You came to me for a divorce, didn’t you? Let’s divorce then.
I won’t weigh you down anymore. All right. I’ll make it brief. So, congratulations. Look. Another beautiful girl joined Wan Village. People come to me for matchmaking after Xingfu married into the Wang family. Their wedding was a festive one. Do you still remember? Yes! May they live happily ever after
And have a harmonious marital life. Xingfu. We will live life to the fullest. When you are my age, you’ll understand. Nothing beats a family Don’t forget for what reason you venture out. Don’t lose yourself or your family halfway through. It’s not worth it. See? In a blink of an eye, your son has grown this big. Hi, could you tell me how should I get here? This place? Yes. It’s over there. Okay. Thank you. Qinglai. Qinglai. Xingfu. Breakfast’s ready. Qinglai. Qinglai, why did you lock the door? Is Xingfu with you? She isn’t here. What? What happened to you two? Nothing. Qinglai, we noticed it. Did I predict it correctly?
Is she enticed by city life? Not at all. You know, Xingfu is a very sensible wife. Get back together if you can. You hear me? If it doesn’t work, keep Little Dou. He’s ours. All right, Mom. Just go down. Let me rest up. Just leave me alone. I’ll leave then.
Xingfu just made breakfast. Remember to eat it later. Mom, have you had breakfast? Yes. You left without breakfast. Where did you go? I went for a walk. Little Dou. What is this? Flower. Flower. Flower. Does it smell nice? It smells so good. A red flower. Flower! Mom, I’m going upstairs.
What are you doing? I’m packing for you. You want me to leave already? Let’s do it now and get it over with. Pack these dates too then. I love them. Pack your things yourself then. Why should I? I’ll have to put them back when I’m back. What do you mean? You would return?
Qinglai, I’m adamant and headstrong. I don’t think I will change, nor do I want to change. Since I decided to marry you, you are my husband. That will not change easily. I can return here for you and for my child. I’ll accept it. But Qinglai, wherever I live,
I will not waste my life idling around. I will move forward. So make up your mind. If chasing after me is too exhausting and you want a divorce, it’s fine by me. I’ll leave with Little Dou. If you still want a life with me, then you will have to accept it too. Then…
What about your city life? I’ll resign. You mean you’ll come back here? You won’t work in the city? Yes. You would leave Guan Tao and that law firm? Mr. Wan once told us that if by venturing out, we lost ourselves and our family, it was not worth it. I agree with him.
I’ll be wherever my family is. These clothes are too worn. I’ll buy new ones for you. It’s not bad. [Wan Village] The scenery here is so pretty. Yes. Unfortunately, the accommodation here is terrible. If I can stay here longer, I can take some touristic videos. Should we revisit it in the future? Sure.
Awesome. My favorite is the spring. It’s otherworldly. Yes. You’re referring to this mountain? The van is here. Let’s go. Come in. Mr. Guan, I’m back. Welcome. So? Qinglai said he’s too ashamed to return. I decide to let him be. We need another handyman then. Otherwise, you’ll be overwhelmed with the firm’s maintenance.
Anything else? Not just a handyman. You need a new receptionist. I’m resigning too. What? Qinglai made a mistake, and you’re leaving too? Didn’t I say that it could just be Dongshan’s excuse? Either way, let’s say this is a human error. It is Qinglai’s. Don’t think otherwise, all right? Don’t put pressure on yourself.
It’s not just that. Xingfu, let me tell you this. You’re too important to leave. We have many things to handle here. We can’t do anything without a receptionist. And there’s no better candidate than you. Is it because your salary is too low? You want a raise? Sure. Just tell me.
I’ll give you the salary. No problem. No, it’s not that. Not at all. Please reconsider. [Fangyuan Law Firm] [Guan Tao] Come in. Mr. Guan. Before you find a new receptionist, I’ll continue working. I have organized your appointments for tomorrow. I’ll place them here. Xingfu. Do you have a moment? Sit with me. Okay.
Have you made up your mind? Can you bear to leave? No. I have learned many things here. Even though I’m just a receptionist, I… learned a lot. I also had many new experiences. If you stay, you’ll have even much more new experiences. After I left Yidao, [Fangyuan Law Firm] (our small business) Tall and grand today. With an amazing view too. It’s getting better now. So have you made up your mind? Guan Tao, some plants are meant to grow in the wild. If you put them in a pot, they die. Qinglai is like that. Without his land, he’ll be like a zombie. He’ll wilt.
Let’s not talk about others. Let’s talk about you. What do you want? Qinglai and I are married. We have a child. Little Dou is three years old now. We are a family. I don’t want to lose my family for my personal endeavor. Every time I go back, he cries.
And when he finally gets comfortable with me, I have to leave. I want to grow with him. I’m afraid that he will refuse to acknowledge me as his mother in the future. All right. It’s valid enough as a reason. What else? When I just arrived in the city,
I thought I should hunker down and find a way to survive first. And then, you took me in. Over time, I realized that we couldn’t just survive. We should live. Live for ourselves. Back then, I never thought about what I would achieve in the future. But now I know
What kind of life I want in the future. I now have a goal, an objective, and a responsibility. I know where to focus. My dream is not achievable only in a big metropolis. It is already achievable back home with my family. So, it’s time for me to go back. I see.
You have matured. When you just arrived, I wanted to help you to expand your horizons. But now that you have grown and changed, I realized I prefer the rural you. All right. Guan Tao. Thank you. My father passed away early. Whenever something happened, I had to deal with it as the eldest child.
And when something happened to me, I could only rely on myself. During those moments, I longed for an older brother. Meeting you is a blessing. You treat me kindly, and I’ll never forget your kindness. From now on, I won’t call you Lawyer Guan or Mr. Guan. You’ll be Guan.
Can I call you this? Sure. Whatever I say, I can’t dissuade you anyway. So, I just hope that wherever you go, you’ll become the best version of yourself. Okay. You know, it’s hilarious. The other lawyer was obviously ill-prepared. He was stunned by my questions. And during the recess, he was looking so…
What’s the matter? Did something happen? Can we take a photo together? For memory’s sake. Come on. Where? A photo? Underneath the Fangyuan logo. Around the front desk. What’s the matter, Xingfu? You summoned me here in a hurry. I haven’t even had dinner. I just had a bite. Have some. Thank you. I’m starving.
Xingyun, I’m going back. I tendered my resignation letter today. Once they find a new receptionist, I’ll head back to Wan Village. What? Why… Why did you resign? Are you crazy? You started the business with Guan Tao. It was so tough, but you persevered. Now that it’s getting better, quitting is a huge loss.
Also, what are you going to do back home? Have you thought about it? I want to open an inn. Xingyun, I don’t have enough money. Can you lend me some? What? An inn? Xingfu, if you’re going back to run an inn… No, I disagree. You know what they said about inns?
They say it’s how the villagers scam the money out of the city people. It has a bad rep. Xingyun, if I run my business with honesty, no one will be scammed. You just don’t want to lend me money, do you? That’s not what I meant. Xingfu, you want me to help you. Yes,
I do have a car and a luxury handbag. But to a certain extent, they are for my work. I do not look as rich. Also, I don’t have faith in this project of yours. That’s all. I know you don’t have it easy either. Forget it, then. Have your dinner. But I… Xingfu.
You know what? I’ll give you 10,000. If you still need more for your living expenses, I’ll give you more. No problem at all. But if it’s to start your inn business, I won’t help out. Xingfu, think about it. Your relationship with Wan Village is strained enough. If you want to open an inn,
You need to build one on their land. You need water and electricity. They will give you a hard time. A dispute will break out sooner or later. And when it does, I represent them and you are my sister. I’m caught in the crossfire. Proceed with impartiality. If there’s a conflict of interest
Between Wan Village and me, you do your job and I do mine. I shouldn’t have told you this. Xingfu, I’ll always remember that I’m working hard for our family. Do you still remember my promise? I said I would buy a big house in the city where you and Mother can move in.
And then, I’ll marry someone rich. No need. I’ll have my own house. And don’t marry someone rich. Rely on yourself. -Xingfu. -Enjoy. What do you plan to do next? I want to open an inn. An inn? In Niaofei Creek? Yes. The scenery there is picturesque. You see? Xingfu is meant to be rich.
Xingfu, do you have the money? I have saved more than 200,000 yuan. That’s a lot. But it’s not enough to open an inn. Right. And you need to find your clients, provide services, and make it special. It’s not just about money. It is about money. To attract clients, you put out ads.
For the services, people need to be trained to use the software and hardware needs to be bought. They all need money. Do you have any plans? Tell us. We can give you some ideas. Exactly. You see, for the past two years, I noticed many backpackers and individual tourists heading to my hometown.
It’s because the village is quite close to the city. Around two hours of driving. It’s very accessible too, perfect for a short stay during the holidays. However, there isn’t a proper inn. I thought about it. Other than winter, people can visit during the rest of the year. Let’s be conservative. Consider it open
For at least 200 days. I don’t want a big place. Just a small one will do. For its construction and renovation, let’s say I put in two million yuan. Then, if six families visit, one family will spend at least 400 yuan on food and other expenditures. One day, I’ll earn at least 2,000.
And in a year, I’ll earn 500,000 yuan. It won’t reach that number, so let’s put it around 400,000 yuan. Taking out the cost, I can earn at least 200,000. The cost can be recouped in six to seven years. And then, it’s pure profit. Why a small one? Build a big one.
In my opinion, go big or go home. But if you want a big one, her budget is only 200,000 yuan. How should we find more money? 200,000 is definitely insufficient. We can try crowdfunding. Crowdfunding? You know that too? When there’s a will, there’s a way. However, the devil is in the details.
Think it through. Sure. Let’s eat. Let’s not starve because of me. Okay. Let’s eat. It’s boiling now. Xingfu, if you manage to open an inn, the three of us will be your first client, all right? Of course. I expect a discount. Just that? It’ll be free. Free? Have some shame, at least.
Have some decency. Come on. Let’s have a toast to Businesswoman He here. Come on. Do take good care of us when we visit. Come on. I wish you a prosperous and profitable endeavor. And I hope your business will run smoothly. Thank you. Thanks. ♪Maybe your life was broken♪
