【BM/EN SUB】Never Too Late 我的助理不简单 EP3 | Olivia Wang,Deng Jie | iQIYI Malaysia
[English subtitles are available] [Never Too Late] [Episode 3] Sis, come on. Rest assured, I will find a decent job. I swear. Fine, promise me. One month. You have to find a proper job within a month. Otherwise, we have to face reality. Sis. Your son is here. I have to go.
So you’re living with an old lady, and she is your intern. If you hadn’t told me that, I would think I was listening to an urban legend story. Now you know why I came to you so late. It’s really a mess. What are you going to do now?
I still want to persuade the old lady to move out. She gets up at four or five every morning. If it keeps going on like this, I’ll have a nervous breakdown sooner or later. But she’s not from here. She finally moved to the city. I can’t just ask her to move out.
I really don’t have the heart to do it. You can live with me. I’ll clean up my study for you and put a bed in there. Live with you? I’ll be watched by your parents everyday. And I must go to bed at ten. I can’t stand it. Then
We can just rent an apartment. A two-bedroom. Are you serious? My mom will never allow it. You don’t have to move out for me. It’s comfortable to live in your own home. You have everything. Now you’re back, what about your boyfriend? What about him? I’ll just fly to Beijing on weekends
When he’s available. We’ve been together for all these years. We’ll survive this year. It’s better if you can’t make it. In my heart, you and Zhou are the perfect match. What? Ask yourself, how does it feel to meet your first love? Does it remind you of the moments that made you flip?
Just kidding. There’s nothing like hatred when it comes to young love. Besides, you can still be friends after getting used to it. You’re not like me. After I divorced my ex-husband… I heard that he has a girlfriend now. If we meet now, it’ll be really awkward. Stop thinking about the past.
We need to move on. Let’s go. Auntie, if there is a better house, would you like to move? Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? I’m afraid that you don’t feel comfortable living with someone else. I’m more comfortable than her. I trust my first impression.
I liked this house at first sight. I don’t want to move. Why don’t you come live with me? No one lives above me. Why waste your money? Do you feel lonely? Boy, your parents got divorced a long time ago. They’re both having a new life. Why are you still here?
I’m afraid she’ll give you a hard time. She doesn’t look nice. I think you are afraid of Jiang. Am I right? Look. You came here at this time just to avoid her. No, why should I be afraid of her? I’m just afraid that if you feel uncomfortable, my mom will…
Don’t worry. I have you. No one dares to pick on me. Fine. Here we are. You’re not coming to my place? It’s already ten. My mom is going to blow up my phone soon. [Incoming Mom] Drive safe. If you need anything, let me know anytime. Text me when you’re home. Bye. Be careful.
Jiang, you’re back. Aunt Wu, have you finished the job I gave you today in the company? Yes. Do you have time? I’ll report to you. Okay. Okay. The first one is an elegant one-bedroom apartment. Modern style, light and airy, north-south layout. Its disadvantage is the lack of storage space. The second one
Is a large two-bedroom. It’s spacious. But the windows are too small. The lighting and ventilation may have problems. The third one looks similar to Court 33. Is it on the Alley Street right here? Double bedroom, both south-facing. A storage room in the yard. Proper layout.
Most importantly, it has a balcony and a yard. Everything is perfect. You like the third one. Good taste. The third one has just been renovated. The wiring, plumbing, waterproof coating, floor, furniture, all new. It’s move-in ready. You can even tell these? Of course. I’ve been to all three places myself.
I took all the photos. You went in person for my little homework. I don’t mind a little trouble, as long as you can live comfortably. Now you like the third house, you should pick a time and move there. By the way, the third house has a clock just like this.
You will love it. Jiang, Jiang. The… The third house has a very serious problem. I forgot to tell you. The kitchen is diagonally across from the storage room. It’s a taboo in Feng Shui. As long as you’re willing to move there, I’ll design the decoration for you for free.
Even if you have the energy, I don’t have the money. I feel sleepy. I’m going to bed. Sleepy? Really? The TV is still on. One, two, three, four, five. Make some more. I want some too. I thought you went to bed. I kept thinking about you wanting me to move, I couldn’t sleep.
Thanks. Why don’t you eat at the dining table? Late night snacks taste better when you eat with someone else. Look. One pack of dumplings is just enough for the two of us. Eating alone is a problem. I can freeze the rest. I did it all the time when I was in Beijing.
You can’t live on frozen food forever. [Uncle Jiang] [Uncle Jiang, my aunt is determined to live there. I can’t persuade her.] ♫There’s always hope♫ ♫It feels like♫ ♫A lighthouse far away♫ ♫The glimmer flickers♫ ♫There are always ups and downs♫ ♫A long future ahead♫ ♫We are growing up all our lives♫

[Uncle Jiang, my aunt is determined to live there. I can’t persuade her.] [Okay, I got it. Why are you calling me Uncle Jiang? We’re closer than that.] ♫Let’s set off for the future♫ [My bad.] ♫There are always ups and downs♫ ♫A long future ahead♫ ♫We are growing up all our lives♫ [Okay, then.]
♫We may hurry and hesitate♫ ♫It may feel sad and endless♫ ♫Don’t look back♫ ♫The warm light shines gently♫ ♫Guarding our growth♫ ♫The ups and downs♫ ♫Become our strength♫ ♫The warm light gleams on our faces♫ ♫Awakening love and hope♫ ♫Let regrets float away with the wind♫ ♫Let’s set off for the future♫
Delivery, Ms. Jiang. Ms. Wu. [Yihe Litong] I ordered some coffee at the coffee shop downstairs. Can you get it for me? I need it for the meeting in the morning. Okay, no problem. Why don’t you do it yourself? [Yihe Litong] I have an important client coming later. I can’t leave.
Remember to ask for invoice. [Yihe Litong] Thank you. Everyone knows that you two are the idlest in the company. We are busier than you. [Yihe Litong] Iced coffee. Why do you always do what you’re told? Are you a Post-it? It’s fine, I was just helping a colleague. You ran an errand for her,
And there’ll be a next time. If it goes on, you won’t have time to do your own job. We don’t have any case now. Ms. Wu. Ms. Wu, did you record the measurements yesterday? Yes. Two critical measurements are missing. The walls in the design graphics are not connected. That’s impossible. Look.
Let me see. Ms. Hu, I measured the house yesterday. Ms. Wu recorded the measurements I told her. If there’s something wrong, it’s my fault. She has nothing to do with it. I’m not here to blame you. You helped me a lot. I should thank you. The owner is rushing me too much.
How can I finish the drawing if your data is wrong? I can’t go there and measure it again, right? Let me see. Here. Leave it to me. I can rule out the wrong numbers. Jiang, sorry for troubling you. It’s fixed. Thank you. It’s my pleasure. This is the data Wu Jingfang recorded yesterday.
It’s exactly the same as mine. The copy I gave Zhao Xue yesterday is also the same. I just checked. There are no errors in my data or Wu Jingfang’s data. Maybe someone made a mistake copying the data. I’ll look into it. [Manager’s Office] We’ll keep in touch. Give me your best designer.
Of course. Jian, see the client out. Hurry up. Ms. Hu. You should handle Mr. Qian’s case. Go check it out soon. Sign the contract. I’m too busy to do it. No one can handle it but you. The capable ones are always busy. It’s a deal. The capable ones are always busy. Ms. Wu,
Can you help me glue the tickets? Sure, no problem. Thank you. Large ones on the top, small ones on the bottom. Like this. Okay. Thank you. [Manager’s Office] Are you serious? You want Mr. Qian’s case? I’m very serious. This case is not easy. Are you sure you can handle it?
If my design plan is not chosen, I’ll resign and leave Yihe Litong. That’s what you want, right? You don’t have to risk your job. It’s really unnecessary. Do you dare to let me compete? Ms. Wu, could you please hurry up? The finance department is asking for them. Almost done.
She has her own work to do. She doesn’t have time to glue the tickets for you. We’re having a case? Of course. But I know nothing. B & B? It’s so exciting. It’s my case. It has nothing to do with you. Why? I’m your assistant. Do you know how to draw?
Do you know how to measure the size? Do you know about how to use CAD? I can learn. We only have one week. Even if I teach you, do you think you can learn? Aunt Wu, I just joined this company. You know how much this case means to me, right?
I only have this one chance. I can only succeed, not fail. You’ll watch this time and learn about the process of drawing. You’ll learn something. Okay? Don’t worry, Jiang. I won’t hold you back. What can I do for you? Help me communicate with Mr. Qian’s hotel manager. Okay. I didn’t expect that
Jiang Tian would take this case. She just came back from Beijing and joined the company. Of course she needs a case to gain a firm foothold. Is she capable? She was transferred from the headquarters. She has to be capable, I think. It doesn’t matter.
The mighty dragon is not match for the native serpent. I think Hu Dexiang is better. Is Ms. Hu that good? You’ll see. Ms. Wu. The phone number of the hotel manager? Okay. I’ll text you later. Okay. Bye. Stop spinning the pen. I’m asking you about the budget.
Two million, one million, half a million. Tell me. How much is their budget? I’ll come up with a plan. Ms. Hu, I’ve found the information you asked for. Keep an eye on them. Don’t just say, “Okay.” Make calls to rush them. Keep an eye on it. Okay. After I found the information,
I ran into Ms. Jiang’s intern. I think they have contacted the hotel manager. I was curious, so I eavesdropped. That’s why I’m a little late. It won’t happen again. We don’t do things this way. Usually when we get the competition task, we do things the same way.
No one will go to the client. Ms. Hu, is she cheating? It’s not that serious. She’s new here. She has her habits. We just do what we do. Okay? Should we contact them too? Well, we’ll take the plan I just told you about. You finish the design plan.
Give it to me before you go home. Zhao Xue, help them. Do as they say. Okay. What are you waiting for? Move. We have an annual review. Don’t you want your bonus? Seize the initiative. You’re not doing it. Mr. Qian, it’s me. Hu Dexiang. Call me Hu. [Calmness is good for tea-tasting]
[Peaceful mind makes you delighted] It’s okay. Nothing a drink can’t fix. I’ll take care of it, okay? Okay? That’s it. Bye. I’m sorry. When I contacted Mr. Qian, I heard you also contacted him and you were meeting today. I thought we should all meet together. We’re from the same company.
Mr. Qian is our client. We can’t make our client come twice. Ms. Jiang, you don’t mind, do you? It’s okay. Let’s get started. Okay. According to the information we have here, you don’t want a traditional hotel, you want a high-end B & B? Yes. I just bought several two-story buildings
In the old town. I want to build a high-end B & B. Lu’s Mansion is nearby. Do you know it? A famous salt merchant in the Qing Dynasty. I like the culture there, so I paid good money for it. The old town is great. Really good.
If you want to open a B & B in the old town, we can add something related to the local culture. What a coincidence! Here. See, when I came here earlier, [Ancient style hotel, Preliminary Concept Design Plan] my assistant made a preliminary concept design plan. Take a look.
It’s quite similar to your idea. You’re very thoughtful. She came prepared. So thoughtful. Look. The structural layers of this house. There is a grove of bamboo. So, we can do a little ancient style. It’s good. Not bad. But it’s a bit general. This is the preliminary plan. You have the final say.
Please give us more suggestions. Speaking of suggestions, I do have a few. I think this folk style is good, but we’re talking about several buildings. They don’t have to be the same style. We can have more. The customers will have more choices. The Waterhouse at South Bund, I want something like that.
I’ve noticed that the industrial style is popular on the Internet. We’ll have a bar or a restaurant, something like that. Okay? Ms. Jiang, what do you mean? I’ll be frank then. Go ahead. I don’t think it’s suitable. The Waterhouse at South Bund is located on the Bund. The style matches its big environment.
But the locations of our buildings are not suitable for this style. I think Suzhou Garden style is more suitable. Can’t I have them all? On the outside, Ma Tau wallwatts and small grey tiles. On the inside, modern industrial style. So special, isn’t it? Sometimes, mixing everything together doesn’t make it special.
It’s more likely to be grotesque. And, hotels like the Waterhouse at South Bund are expensive to build. Our buildings are hard to renovate already. Here, this wall. We have a lot of walls like this. Beneath these walls, there’s most likely extensive mildew. I’ll have to remove the outer layers of the walls
And check the wiring and the plumbing. Enough. You don’t have to tell me so many professional things. I don’t understand. Ms. Jiang is mainly considering the cost. Money is not a problem. Okay, industrial style, pass. We’ll have something else. Do what you do. Just give me a number. As a designer,
I’m willing to provide my clients a professional and economical plan. Although you’re willing to spend money, I don’t want you to spend the wrong money. Actually, I know. I can just do whatever you want. That’s the easiest. But it doesn’t mean we will have a good result.
Helping the clients rule out unrealistic ideas and finding the best design with the clients, are the basis of a good work. You came to us because you want a good design. Jiang, I’m not blaming you. But… How can you talk to a client like this? He’s the employer. We are the contractor.
We serve. What did you do? You contradicted everything he said. If I were Mr. Qian, I’d be mad too. But I was telling the truth. Who else could point out his unrealistic ideas other than the designer? You could’ve done it a different way. Did you have to be that direct?
No matter how good a lie is, it’s still a lie. Honest advice may be unpleasant to hear, but it’s the truth. Truth can be said nicely. Who says truth must be harsh? Jiang, you are a nice person, but you always offend people. No wonder you’re targeted all the time. I didn’t…
I didn’t mean that. You’re right. That’s why I ended up like this. Why do I have to spend my wonderful off-hours listening to you criticizing me? I did this wrong, I did that wrong. I’m not criticizing you. Stop following me. But we live together. You said Jiang Tian is stealing someone else’s case?
Yes. Jiang is so busy. I’ll be with her these days. If your mother asks about me, you know what to say. Wait. You have to promise me you won’t wear yourself out. I know. Don’t worry. I know what to do. Okay. Mr. Zhou, you are still in business. [Old Street Pastry]
-Two fried dough sticks. -Two fried dough sticks. Here. Come in. Okay, soy milk. Come, sit down. Look. I’m sorry about last time. [Chen’s Snack Shop] I didn’t know you got divorced. I thought you and Jiang have something… I don’t know. I’ve never seen her before. It’s okay. It’s in the past.
Is this shop yours? [Chen’s Snack Shop] Yes. It’s been running for decades. The neighbors like to come here. By the way, Tian loves the wontons I make. Bring some for her. Your soy milk. Here. Here. And some for you. Try it. Some for me? -You’re too kind. -Take them. Don’t mention it.
We are neighbors. If you need anything in the future, [Chen’s Snack Shop] just come to me. If there’s something bothering you, you can tell me. Okay. Wait, no, no. It’s not dry yet. If you pick it up, it’ll be stuck. It’s out there, so ugly. My mom will lecture me again. I think…
Aunt Wu knows you well. Have you noticed that since you were little, you’ve always been targeted. No. No? Let’s see. You had the highest grades, right? You’ve got countless awards. But you never got to be the class monitor. Do you know why? The class monitor is elected, that’s why you always lost. Really?
That’s fine. The class monitor is not a cushy job. It’s good to be a regular student. Can’t you just reflect on the reason why most people don’t like you? That’s not true. When I was in school, I never had any conflict with anyone. And there were no clients
Who made unreasonable demands all the time. I had a much better temper back then. That’s true. Besides, I treated everyone well. That’s true. Except for one time, Zhou Yewen asked me to help him cheat, I refused. I always helped other classmates when they needed my help.
You remember things about Zhou Yewen so well. He’s indeed your first love. Honey, when people get to know you well, they’ll find you to be really nice. But the problem is no one gets to know you well. There’s you. Me? I’m the exception. It’s all because
I sprained my ankle on the first day of primary school, and you happened to sit next to me. The teacher asked you to take care of me. And we went to the same primary school, middle school, and high school. We were always in the same class. That’s why I am super stable now.
And there’s Zhou Yewen. Zhou Yewen. Even if you are my only friend, it doesn’t matter. The quantity is not important. What matters most it the quality. Besides, I have a few colleagues I can get along with in Beijing. That’s enough. What are you going to do this year in Suzhou?
Are you still fighting alone? I’ll let it be. I came back here to be a chief designer. If I can’t find a right partner, I’ll do it myself. Aunt Wu. Her? She knows nothing. She makes no difference. You can teach her what she doesn’t know. And she’s the aunt of your first love.
She didn’t help this time. Maybe next time she will. I might as well teach you. To be honest, you always say you don’t want to work in the bank. Why don’t I recommend you to join our company’s Zero Project. You can just change your job. How is it going? Are you done?
Should I bring more? No, there’s plenty. You took so much time and made only these? You are so slow. Your aunt is waiting. There are so many more outside. Mom, that’s all. Take them out first. My cousin is getting married, not me. Besides, I asked Jiang Tian to come here and help,
That’s pretty good. You, married? If you get married, I’ll be ecstatic. Are you aware of your own situation? When can you get married again? Get married? Jiang, do you have a boyfriend? He’s in Beijing. Beijing? A long-distance relationship? My goodness, that’s unstable. I remember you’re one year older than Xiaoxiao.
Let me tell you. Love marathons are no good. Break-ups are almost inevitable. Alright, mom. That’s enough. Got it. Hurry up. I’ll leave you to it. Thank you. It’s okay, auntie. Hurry up. You are too slow. I’m sorry. That’s how my mom is. Please forgive her. It’s okay. Interior design is a part of
Architecture and environment design. In the process of building development, there used to be no such thing as an interior designer. All the environment designs were accomplished by architects. [Basic course for interior designers to conclude contracts] With the development of society and the improvement of human living standards and production technology,
Which led to the expansion of the market, the interior design industry arose. Interior design can be broadly devided… Now, many large factories… You’re back. Great. Wash your hands and come eat. The development of the Internet technologies also helps. [Basic course for interior designers to conclude contracts-Part 1] Industrial design and interior design
Are very simple for professionals. Aunt Wu, what are you listening to? I found it online. Lectures about interior design. People’s needs for the environment will change. But ordinary people can only… I advise you not to listen. Not all interior designs are easier than industrial designs.
Some of the old foreign-style houses and old houses with a courtyard are troublesome to renovate. If you keep listening to those, I’m afraid you’ll be misguided. Really? I think it’s good. Choose what’s necessary. Focus on design. Customers come first. Come out soon. Now, I’ll make some examples. No, thanks. Don’t be shy.
I made a few more dishes today. Try them. It’s really okay. Are you afraid my cooking isn’t good? No way. I’m good at cooking. I don’t mean that. I just don’t eat spicy food. I’m so forgetful. There’re wontons. From Chen’s. I didn’t eat spicy food either. Then I moved to Sichuan
And got used to it. You should try. It’s delicious and exciting. The spiciness will make your snot and tears come out. All your troubles will be gone. Jiang. What are you thinking? Nothing. Aunt Wu. What do you think you can do now? I can do anything.
Do you have any idea about the hotel? Yes. I told you. Ancient style. The rooftop is not suitable for a bar. It’s good for a tea house. Will Mr. Qian agree? He only cares about customer count and diversity. As long as my design meet these two requirements, it’s fine.
What do you think I can do for you? Aunt Wu, I remember you said you were a businesswoman, right? Yes, selling leather shoes. Purchase, sale, keeping accounts. All me. Do you know how to make report forms? Of course. We didn’t have computers back then. I kept all my accounts on paper.
I never made a mistake. And I was fast. [Incoming Fang Yuanqing] I was in a meeting. What’s wrong? Nothing. I got a case recently. My client wants everything. My assistant can’t do anything. And my rival is really good. So, what are you gonna do? I’ll do it myself. What else can I do?
But luckily, I asked Aunt Wu. There’s something she can do. She used to do business. She can make some report forms. Actually, I’ve thought about it. We have one week. As long as we divide the work properly, we can make it. I’ll do all the designs myself. Aunt Wu can make report forms
And search information. As long as we click, it should be fine. Are you sure? She’s an old lady in her sixties. She did business in the ’80s or ’90s. She didn’t have computers or printers. Right. Aunt Wu, are you kidding me? I asked you to print things.
Did you drop these in the ink box? I don’t know what’s wrong with the machine. Well, I… I’ll ask someone to take a look. Okay. You’re not familiar with the machine, fine. What about these? I said color printing. Why are they all black and white? Fine, I can forget about all of these.
What about the report? Why haven’t you given it to me? I’ve sent you the template. How much have you done? Can you give it to me today? Sorry. The computer, I… I don’t know how to use it yet. I’m working on the software. I’ll write one. I can write one.
A handwritten form is useless to me. I need it for my PowerPoint. Am I supposed to take a photo of it? You can. Okay, it’s done. Thank you for your hard work. It’s the efforts of everyone of our team that leads to the completion of the preliminary plan. Go home tonight
And have a good sleep. Tomorrow we’ll gather our energy and check the plan. Hu Dexiang is really good. Of course. She has a lot of people working for her. There’s no other chief designer like her in the company. I think she’ll win this case. Obviously. The rumor about her promotion
At the end of the year may be true. She’s on fire. They are fast. Sorry, Aunt Wu. I was just anxious. I didn’t mean what I said. You go fix the printer. I’ll make the report forms myself. Jiang. Stop talking. Hurry up. We’re really late. Jiang, slow down.
Why are you walking so fast? I can’t keep up. I still have a lot of work to do. I have to finish the drawing tonight so that we can check it tomorrow. What can I do for you? Really, I can help you. What took you so long?
My mom has been looking for you. Oh no. Today is her birthday. My phone is dead. Come on! Give me your phone. I’ll video call her. Don’t be angry, sis. Anger gives you wrinkles. I’ll sing for you. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday! That’s enough. You only care about your work. You completely forgot about me, didn’t you? No. My phone died. I bought you a gift. I’m sure you’ll like it. I’ll ask Wen to send it to you later. Stop it. You taking good care of yourself
Is the biggest gift to me, you know? How are you? Are you tired? You’re over 60. Don’t push yourself too hard. Don’t overwork. Don’t worry. I’m doing great. See? I’m doing great. My aunt is old. She doesn’t have to work overtime until this hour. What does it have to do with you?
She is my aunt. Your aunt chose to work, she has to take on the responsibilities. All kinds of jobs require overtime nowadays. I didn’t force her. She chose all this. You can tell her that. You can’t blame me for her wearing herself out. Besides, she’s your aunt, so what? Everyone is independent.
She didn’t say anything. You’re just being nosy. Don’t make a fuss over her. She’s on fire.
