01x17 - Episode 17

[bunniefuu]

Hello, is order 0354 ready?

Let me check.

Please hurry.

- In modern society,
- Xuan.

More and more women are daring to
pursue what they love and aspire to.

Their dreams rarely get held back
by their gender.

Their careers take on diverse colors
precisely because of who they are.

They are increasingly realizing that
instead of waiting for a hero to come,

it's better to become
their own trailblazers.

Through their own efforts,
they earn social recognition and respect.

Thank you, ma'am.

- Would you trust a female driver?
- Bye. Take care.

Would you trust a female doctor?

Would you trust a
female pilot's flying skills?

[Episode 17]
[Go Fly, Girl!]

Si Xian, listen.

First, this is absolutely not
what you saw online.

Second, our PR Department is ready.
We'll issue a statement today.

This isn't just for you,
but also for Hengshi Air's image.

So we'll handle this matter
with the utmost seriousness.

Most importantly, Mr. Fu is very angry.

He was so restless
that he didn't sleep yesterday.

He's worried you'll misunderstand.

So he is already handling it.

Are you finished?

If yes, let him talk to me in person.

Si Xian, can you promise
me you'll talk calmly?

Please don't fight, okay?

Look at the timing.
We happened to run into a patrol.

Alright, that's enough. Get back to work.

- What?
- Just go.

Go on, get busy. Hurry.

Well, Mr. Fu is already in his office.

He didn't sleep last night. He's been
waiting for you since early morning.

Please, talk nicely.

Didn't you say you
wanted to talk? Go ahead.

Let me, Si Xian.

Please.

Then I'll start.

Li Zhi Huai and I are just friends.

Go on.

Her father was my high school teacher.

We ran into each other in Chun City.

Then we returned to Jiang City together.

Later, her father found out
and insisted I go to his home for a drink.

He's my teacher. I couldn't refuse.

On the day you drank too much
and made me wait until late?

Yes. But I wasn't drunk that day.

I was just exhausted
from busy work back then.

You really won't admit it.

- What about the flowers?
- The flowers...

It was my teacher's birthday. I didn't go.

So I asked Bai Yang to order some flowers.
The florist delivered them.

That's right. Si Xian, I can vouch for him.

Here are the payment
records and the invoice.

[Li Zhi Huai's Manager]

This is bad.

Her manager is calling.

Answer it.

Hello? Bai Yang, this is Ying.

I'm looking for Mr. Fu.

Could you please put me through to him?

I'm here.

Hello, Mr. Fu.

I'm Zhi Huai's manager, Zhang Ying.
We've met before.

I'm truly sorry.

I was overwhelmed yesterday,
so I only found the time to call you today.

I sincerely apologize for yesterday's news.

I didn't expect it to be
exposed after so long.

We're trying to suppress the buzz.

But as you can see,
Zhi Huai is so popular right now.

- We can't keep it down.
- Get to the point.

Well, we'll keep looking for ways.
We'll issue a statement today.

Is there anything on your end that
needs to be addressed?

Contact our PR Department.

[Li Zhi Huai]

Oh.

This is getting complicated.

[Speaker]

Hello, Ming Yu.

My manager must have called you by now.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't expect it
to cause you so much trouble.

We're already handling it on our end.

I'm truly sorry.

It's already with our PR Department.

I know, but I still
feel quite bad about it.

How about this?

When I return to Jiang City in a few days,
I'll treat you to a meal as an apology.

No need. We don't want any more trouble.

About what I mentioned the other day...

Contact our Marketing Department. I've
already been in touch with Time Pictures.

I only care about the result.
I won't get involved in the details.

Are you busy?

Yes. I'm with my girlfriend.

Then I'll leave you to it.

It's an aviation-themed movie.

Li Zhi Huai might be the female lead.

The producers reached out to us,
seeking a collaboration.

- That's all?
- That's all.

Alright. I understand.

But if such a thing happens again,

just go to my father's grave
and explain it to him.

Understood.

Also, my dad loved to drink.

- Si Xian.
- Remember to bring some alcohol.

Mr. Fu, she wants you
to drink with her father.

I heard her.

You're coming too.

Ruan Si Xian. Good job.

You didn't just barge into his office
and give him a piece of your mind.

You could say you were mature and steady.

Your acting was great, too.

I bet you intimidated him.

Look at him.

Even if he had twice the guts,
he wouldn't dare do it again.

He's my old classmate.
He took time out to visit my father.

We've been friends
for over a decade. Nothing more.

If there's good news, I'll let you know.

[Si Xiao Zhen]
What do you think about this Weibo post?

[Bian Xuan]
Same question.

Wait. What does "took
time out to visit" imply?

How is that any different
from "visit specifically"?

Why didn't she mention that
her dad was Fu Ming Yu's teacher?

Classmates are classmates.
Why emphasize being friends for years?

Exactly.

Even Fu Ming Yu has a day like this.

What are you laughing at now?

Fu Ming Yu's rumored girlfriend
issued a statement.

Let me see.

This statement... doesn't feel quite right.

I bet she got the cold shoulder
from Fu Ming Yu and is saving face online.

Isn't it obviously leaving things
open-ended for endless speculation?

That woman was like this back in school.

She always made it seem that
everyone was into her.

Back then, she did like Fu Ming Yu.

But Fu Ming Yu didn't like her back.

What about you?

Even less so. I'd never like her.
I have sharp eyes.

With one look, I can tell
if a person is good or bad.

I stay far away from her.

How could Fu Ming Yu let her post
such a statement?

We didn't agree.

The PR Department
would never have agreed to it.

Our PR Department made our demands
very clear to them. Absolutely clear.

First, they must clarify that
you were only high school classmates.

Second, they must explain
why you met and what you did.

Their studio did post as requested.

But I didn't expect Li Zhi Huai
to post another version herself.

Every explanation only made it worse.
Look how far it has escalated.

Tell the PR Department to show no mercy.

Before the end of the day, the buzz can
stay high, but the narrative must change.

Yes, sir.

You saw it too.

- When she gets angry, it's serious.
- Indeed.

Do you want to
drink with her father before his grave?

I'm allergic to alcohol.

Then hurry up and treat
everyone to milk tea.

This started because of me,
but someone has to fix it.

[Ruan Si Xian]

Sorry. The subscriber
you dialed is powered off.

Sorry. The subscriber
you dialed is powered off.

Ruan Si Xian.

Ruan Si Xian.

Sorry. The subscriber
you dialed is powered off.

Why are there still so many bad comments?

Ms. Zhou, what did you do this afternoon?
What am I paying you for?

What's the point of yelling at her?

I told you not to post anything on your own.
Just stick to the studio's official line.

Why won't you listen?

And let me ask you. What was the rush?

We've pretty much locked in
that female pilot project.

All you need to do is
to play your role when the time comes.

Besides, before you pull stunts like this,
could you at least give us a heads-up?

You put us in a very difficult position.

Rising stars are usually terrified
of dating rumors.

But look at you. You couldn't
wait for the whole world to know.

At least pick someone easy.
Yet you found such a tricky one.

How was I supposed to know
he already had a girlfriend?

Even if he didn't,
you still shouldn't have done this.

What do you think we
are? Some amateur troupe?

In a moment, hand over
your social media accounts to Ms. Zhou.

Ying, I'm sorry. I know I was wrong.

I really wanted to get that role.

Ying.

Zhi Huai, the company
is in a tough spot now.

We'll see about the project.

Ruan Si Xian.

Ruan Si Xian. I can
explain everything to you.

I know you're in there.
Can you open the door first?

What should I do?

- Why are you here?
- You finally opened the door.

Were you crying?

Who's crying?

You don't think
I was hiding in here crying, do you?

Then why did you lock yourself
in your room all afternoon?

I was studying.
There are so many exams every year.

Don't I need time to prepare?

- Really?
- What else?

What do you think? Are you crazy?

You really frightened me.

Did you read Li Zhi Huai's statement?

I read it on my way home.

That classmate of
yours is quite interesting.

What about the latest one?

The latest one?

Regarding the recent online rumors concerning
our vice president, Mr. Fu Ming Yu,

we make the following statement.

First, Mr. Fu Ming Yu visited
Ms. Li's father late last autumn

because he was Mr. Fu's
high school homeroom teacher.

Expressing gratitude to one's teachers
is a virtue we all should uphold.

Second, Mr. Fu and Ms. Li
have been busy with their own lives

since graduating from high school.

They have met only three times,
totaling two hours and five minutes.

Two of those hours were spent at a
small gathering with teachers last year.

While being classmates is fate,
that fate ends at graduation.

Whether paths cross again
is a matter of chance.

We hope everyone cherishes
their school-day friendships.

Third, Vice President Fu is not single.

He is in a stable relationship.

Finally, visit Hengshi Air's official
website to register as a member.

Our new spring routes are launching soon.

Enjoy your exclusive flight butler service.

Discover the world's best journeys
with Hengshi Air.

That is so good.
Exhausting to read in the best way.

I have to say, the PR Department
was fast this time.

This statement is basically screaming
two words: Back off.

They even threw in an ad at the end.

As expected of a team
trained by Fu Ming Yu.

So, what are the comments saying now?

Mostly mockery.

Things like, "The tables turned so fast."

Why did she even bother?

It's all for work. For survival, I guess.

Everyone has their
own ways of doing things.

- It's just that she chose the dumbest way.
- Right!

I wonder how Si Xian is doing.

What are you laughing at?
How can you still laugh?

Come on, you're wasting public resources.

I'm laughing at myself.

I spent the whole afternoon
worrying about you for nothing.

Indeed. You're a pilot.

You wouldn't let
such a trivial matter get to you.

Wrong. I'm actually a petty person.

But she's just your high school classmate.

Not even an ex.

I'd rather spend time
studying than gossiping.

Weirdos don't come around every day,

but professional exams
happen several times a year.

Not mad anymore?

Do I look like I have
unlimited anger to spare?

Who was it that
stormed into my office this morning?

I can't be bothered to be mad at her.

But you caused this.

I'm mad at you for coming home that night
without telling me what happened.

You didn't come clean immediately
when it happened.

I'm sorry.

It was my fault.

It won't happen again.

Don't be mad.

But...

is it that you don't trust me,

or that you're worried about me?

Which of us is more worried here?

Anyway, you stood outside my door
all afternoon as punishment.

Yet you're still sitting so close to me.

- Wait. Then I have to protest.
- What are you protesting?

- You caused this mess. How dare you protest?
- Of course I do.

Lately, you keep ghosting me.

Didn't we agree?
As soon as you land, you'd let me know.

But look at you. Every time you land,
telling me is never the first thing you do.

And now, you didn't even
tell me you were back.

I've been waiting for you all afternoon.

I couldn't find you. You didn't
answer my calls or reply to my texts.

Ruan Si Xian, I'm talking to you.
Do you have any idea how worried I was?

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for a way out.

A way out?

There's no way out of this.

- Put me down.
- No. I have to find one too.

I'm dizzy.

A pilot getting dizzy?
Is that your way out?

I'm hungry.

I want clam noodles.
I've been craving them for so long.

You've got a total eye-candy right here.
You're not craving me?

All you think about is clam noodles.

I don't want to.

You're going into clingy mode again.

You're starting to disturb my normal life.

Fine, fine.
I'm disturbing your normal life, "Captain."

Then I'll leave, okay?

You have to put me down first.

Here's your way out.

I'm leaving then.

Who said you could leave?

Didn't you tell me to leave?

You leave just because I said so?

See you at the clam noodle place.
Last one there pays the bill.

She kissed me.

As if you'd ever be late.

Mr. Fu, the Catering Department's
new seasonal menu is ready.

They've upgraded
the passengers' special ordering system.

The tasting is currently scheduled
for this Friday at noon.

Aren't we meeting the
film company this Friday?

Are we still going to work with them?

The Brand Promotion Department
has suspended the contract.

Did I say I wanted to terminate the deal?

But things with Li Zhi
Huai got pretty messy.

Why not invest in such a good project?

It's not like she's the
only actress available.

Stop sneaking bites.

Name an actress you like.

Cheng Yi Ke.

Perfect. We can discuss the casting
when we have dinner with the producers.

Also, have the Promotion Department
stay in touch with them.

Sure. Leave it to us.

- Looking forward to it.
- Everyone, watch your step.

- Be careful.
- This way, sir.

Please watch your step.

Please show your boarding pass.
Watch your step.

Watch your step. Stay safe.

Please watch your step,
everyone. Be careful.

Welcome aboard Hengshi Air.

- Can you hold this for me?
- Sure, no problem.

Please watch your step.

Excuse me, sir. Please stop taking photos.
Please proceed with boarding.

Your boarding pass, please.

Your boarding pass, please.

Welcome aboard. Please head inside.

Welcome aboard. Please head inside.

Excuse me, sir. How can I help you?

If you feel unwell or need any assistance,
please let me know anytime.

Check it again.

Mentor, there's another one here.

Captain, we found coins
in the engine's bypass duct.

We suspect a passenger threw them.

Threw coins? How many
have you found so far?

Only two. I'm not sure if there are more.

What era are we living in?
Why is someone still doing this?

It's not the first time.
It happens every few years.

It's a real headache.
We've called the police.

Got it.

We can't take off.

When are we taking off? Look at the time!

Sir, please be patient.

We'll take off as soon as possible.
Please wait a moment.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we found two coins near the aircraft.

If you've lost coins,
please speak to the crew immediately.

Thank you.

No one is going to admit to that.

- Call the police.
- Okay.

I already admitted I threw them.

So what if I did?
Can't you just pick them up?

I'll do it for you.

Wait. How many coins
did you throw in total?

Four. I only had four in my pocket.

I was supposed to throw nine.

Do you know the consequences
of throwing those coins?

I don't care.

Hengshi Air hired a
female pilot to fool us.

Have you thought about the consequences?

I only threw a few coins
to pray for luck. So what?

Officer, I'm officially filing a report.
Let's just follow the procedure.

You don't have to call the police.

- What did I even do?
- You didn't do much.

You simply tossed some
coins into the engine.

It's actually easy to handle.

Just pay damages.
A few tens of thousands of yuan.

But if I have to remove the engine,
repair it, and then put it back,

you'll owe over 100,000.

And about that female pilot you mentioned,

she is hired at a high
salary by our airline.

You're suspected of violating Article 116
of the Criminal Law:

Sabotaging a means of transport.

- Hello?
- We've now accepted this case.

- Please cooperate with the investigation.
- Were all four found?

They were in the engine, right?

Okay. Got it.

Officer, I'll leave the rest to you.

How's the situation?

Was he even through nine years
of compulsory education?

If this plane had taken off,
it would've been a disaster.

And he called it a prayer.
He almost k*lled everyone.

And look at this plane...

Sounds like you're
quite heartbroken over it.

Of course. How could I not be?

Is it your plane? Why do you even care?

You're the one who told us to treat
Hengshi Air like home. Now it's not mine?

So, is Hengshi Air actually my home or not?

As long as I am yours,
Hengshi Air will always be your home.

- I'm off.
- Go ahead.

- Stay safe.
- Okay.

Here.

If you ask me, don't bother.

With a video like this, we'd better off
fake dating and film scripted couple stuff.

That'd gain followers fast.

Do I look like a masochist to you?

If we fake being together,
your army of exes will hunt me down online.

They'll get my account banned.

But this video of yours has no highlights.

Who would want to watch it?

Then what highlights do you want?

A video needs jokes, which you don't have.

It needs long legs,
which you don't have either.

All you're doing
is recording ordinary women at work.

If it gets over 100 likes, I'll eat grapes
while doing a handstand.

Say one more word, and I'll chop off
your legs and put them in this video.

Even if no one watches it,

I'm still going to make what I want
and express what I believe.

Besides eating grapes, what else can
you do? All you do is criticize my video.

Go away. I don't want to see you.

- You're so annoying. Go away.
- No! I'll just watch you edit.

I knew it.
When you need me, you sweet-talk to me.

When you don't, you're ready to
chop off my legs and kick me out.

Do you know what this is called?
The modern-day "Farmer and the Viper."

"Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf."

"Zheng You An and Yan An."

- No, you eat it. I can't eat anymore.
- Don't you love grapes?

- Dad.
- Mr. Zheng.

Yan An, you're here too.

What a coincidence.

What brings you all the way here?

Since my studio opened,
you haven't cared or asked about it.

Now you're here all of a sudden.

What's going on?
Is the family business failing?

So this is your studio.

Can you stop making small talk?
What kind of question is that?

I'm sitting right here.
If this isn't my studio, then what is it?

Don't tell me that you're here
because you got lost and just wandered in.

Is that how you talk to me?

I'm talking to you the
same way I always do.

- Yan An.
- Mr. Zheng.

Have you two been
together all the time lately?

Not all the time.

In the evenings,
we still go our separate ways home.

Right.

- Sit down.
- Mr. Zheng, please sit.

I said, you sit.

Yan An.

What exactly... is...

your relationship?

Dad!

What exactly are you here for?
Conducting a census?

I'm asking him.

I say one sentence,
and you've got a hundred responses ready.

You started it,
but you won't let me speak? You...

Yan... Yan An. How's
everything at home lately?

Everything is fine.

- Is your father well?
- He's doing fine.

So is my mom.

Since you're always here,
you haven't been helping at home, right?

My family's business
doesn't need me to manage it.

You're a grown man now, right?

You should start taking care of
the family business.

Your father and I will get old eventually.

I understand.

You know, You An is my
only precious daughter.

I'm not some feudal patriarch.

If you two are dating, I won't object.

But I have two requirements.
You must agree to them.

Please, go ahead.

First of all, I don't care about the past.

But from now on, you have to tie up
all your loose ends with other women.

Sure.

Second, the Zheng family
has hit a rough patch lately,

and we're facing a few setbacks,
but our family wealth is still intact.

I hope...

you can take charge in the future.

I understand. No problem.

What do you mean, "no problem"?
I have a problem.

And you claim you're not a feudal patriarch.
Look at you. What kind of attitude is this?

You're not like this at home.

Why does he have to
take over my family business?

Can't I handle it? Why do you
trust him so much? I get it now.

You've been rushing me to get married
just because you're looking for an heir.

You should just transfer
all your assets to him.

Why take such a roundabout way?

I'm your only daughter, yet you never
let me get involved in family matters.

You'd rather trust him than me.
You don't trust me at all.

And you call this spoiling me?

I'm telling your mom.

All you ever do is tell my mom.

Why the hell slap a card down?
What's that supposed to mean?

Take care, Mr. Zheng.

I can't use the simulator
without a booking.

There are no movies I want to see,
and I don't want to go home.

This time off is useless to me.

Waiting for a car?

No, I'm waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

Is something the matter?

There's something...
I'd like to ask you about.

Go ahead.

When you quit and went
to the flight academy,

it must have been a tough decision.

I guess there are no permanent enemies.

They can even sit and drink together.

Isn't that how girls' friendships are?

You break up and make up all the time.

Ever since you were kids, you'd be
friends one day and fall out the next.

Don't give me that "you girls" stuff.

Don't you guys ever fall out
and then make up? Get to work!

Anyway, I'm really sorry.

Whether you forgive me or not,
I should apologize for what I did to you.

I'm truly sorry.

It's water under the bridge.

Because those things didn't really hurt me.

Still, I shouldn't have done them.

I came to you despite the awkwardness

because I don't know anyone else
with a similar experience.

You want to quit and go to flight academy?

Not to flight academy.
I'm over the age limit.

But I do want to resign.

However, I haven't fully
made up my mind yet.

So I wanted to ask you,
why were you so resolute back then?

Back then,
there was definitely some spite involved.

I just gritted my teeth and went for it.

Why do you suddenly want to quit?

Maybe...

I feel like I can't see a future here.

It's like I've hit a dead end.

You could transfer to another department.

And at Hengshi Air,
there aren't many senior pursers like you.

Maybe in a few years,
you'll be promoted to management.

There's still hope.

That sounds so familiar.

But then again,

being a flight attendant
did bring me a lot.

At least it helped me to
leave the home I grew up in.

But you know what? The ironic thing is,
all my motivation in the past

was to have a little home of my own.

So I worked hard for a long time for that.

I tolerated Yue Yang time and again.

I even came after you to mark my territory.

In the end, I found out that
he didn't like me at all.

All the perfection was just in my head.

I often thought, I am so great.

Why doesn't Yue Yang like me?
How could he not like me?

But after going through so much,

I think I've grown a little.

At least now...

I can accept that someone may not like me.

You know what? Sometimes I really envy you.

To be honest, that envy
comes with a bit of resentment.

Maybe that's just human nature.

I often tell myself not to think that way.
But I just can't control myself.

I'm so unwilling to accept it.

Why do I work so hard
only to always be just a little bit behind?

Ever since I was a kid, I've never
been able to get anything I truly wanted.

Do you think I'm asking for too much?

Is that why I'm so unhappy?

What's wrong with having desires?

You deserve them.

And over these years,
you've worked harder than anyone.

You're better than anyone.

You just met someone who let you down.

You can't let this setback
make you deny yourself.

If you want someone
who won't let you down or betray you,

that person can only be you.

So it's not too late, right?

You think I can still be saved, right?

Get away from me!

Why are you so angry?
Didn't you take that card?

I told you, I'm not going to use it.
Don't follow me!

Why are you so mad at me?
I didn't do anything to you.

Yan An.

We've been hanging out for so long,
flirting back and forth,

but you've never confessed
or made a promise.

Then my dad showed up today,
and you just took over my family business.

Nice way to reap the benefits.

I didn't take it. Your dad forced it on me.

Forced it?

And you just took it?
You just took it because he offered?

I panicked and took it.
I wouldn't actually keep it.

If I gave myself to you, would you take me?

We're best friends.
Why are you saying all this?

Yan An.

You're such a jerk.

Don't follow me.

Zheng You An, let me explain.
Don't run. There's a step there.

- Seriously, don't run.
- Go away!

Zheng You An!

Xuan.

Give me your strongest drink.

Look who's here. The lightweight
who can't handle one Long Island.

You're here early today. There they are.

Si Xian.

I've had a long day.

What happened now?

It's so good that you're here.
You have to stay with me tonight.

We're drinking until we drop.

I'm really full of grievances.

- Only you understand me.
- Alright.

Don't just wail. Tell me what happened.

Let me have a drink first.

- Xuan, drinks!
- Coming!

Before you have strong liquor,
shouldn't you eat something first?

Drinks coming right up.

And this is...?

She's a purser at our airline. Zi Yue.

Zi Yue.

You've been crying.

It's nothing. I just
got a little emotional.

Who upset you? Tell me.
We'll chew them out tonight.

You'll feel better once you let it out.

There, there, don't cry.

Give her a small serving.
Just a tiny bit will do.

Any less and there'd be nothing left.

- See what you'd like to drink.
- I'll just have water today.

Who upset you? Tell me.
We'll chew them out tonight.

- Who knows how drunk she'd be?
- Don't worry. I didn't give her much.

Are you two together?

What am I to her? Just a friend.

At least you're self-aware.

I'm so angry I could punch him.

Why wasn't I on that flight?

If I were there, I'd grab him by the collar
and slap him a few times.

What? Threw coins?

He just thinks women
can't do these things well, right?

My dad is exactly like him.

He doesn't trust me to run his hotels.

He'd rather trust a complete outsider
like him. I don't even know why.

Just because he's a man?
Who is he to my family, anyway?

He and my dad aren't even related.

- And between him and me, we're...
- Friends.

That's what he just said.

Yes.

Friends!

He doesn't even have the guts to woo me.

He doesn't dare. What a real man!

What does my dad see in him?
I really don't get it.

He's so timid.

Slow down.

That's not right.

What's wrong?

I've drunk so much,

but my mind is still so clear.

Xuan.

Why is your alcohol so weak? Is it fake?

You can't say that.

This is a reputable bar.

- Yan An.
- Yes?

Get me something strong.

- Okay.
- Hurry up.

- Something weak.
- Of course.

- It doesn't taste like alcohol at all.
- Miss, do you need anything else?

- Get lost.
- Understood.

Alright. You guys enjoy yourselves.

I have things to do tomorrow.
I'll head out first.

Zi Yue, did I talk too much just now?

No. But I actually enjoyed
listening to you talk.

- Then I...
- Alright.

She has a flight
tomorrow. I'll see her out.

Don't drink too much.

Zi Yue.

If anyone upsets you,
tell me. I'll chew them out!

- If words don't work, I'll just hit them!
- Hey.

What are you doing, my friend?

What are you talking about?
