01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

Where exactly have people seen her before?

What are you up to?

What's going on in there?

From the timeline,
this itinerary goes back to last November.

But from the micro expressions,
he still doesn't seem to remember.

Then you're full of it.

If he really remembered,
why would he still be sitting here?

I like talking nonsense.

A line of nonsense
can waste a line's worth of time.

That's deep.

If what you're saying works,
why don't you tell Mr. Fu?

Who exactly is Ruan Si Xian?

I warned him already.
But he wouldn't listen.

Fine. Let me give you another lesson
in how life works.

This is something people never learn.
This one, though, they pick up right away.

Right?

When he needs me, I'll fill him in.

Bai Yang, come in.

Mr. Fu, what can I do for you?

I began to think that Ruan's
hostility is aimed at me, not you.

Why do you think that?

Intuition.

- Let me break it down for you.
- I'm all ears.

Yan An sent me Ruan Si Xian's video.

He didn't treat her badly.

She could've gone straight to Bo'ao Air.

But...

No, that can't be right.

Yan An couldn't possibly be that smart.

So what you're saying is
there's something fishy here.

Definitely.

[Episode 3]
[This Is Fishy]

This one is your internal account.

The other login passwords are in there too.

And this one is the process form.

Take it to Facilities to get your uniform.

[For New Hire Use, Ruan Si Xian, Pilot]

I still know my employee number by heart.

Only the prefix changed from E to D.

You're a credit to Hengshi Air.

Thank you.

Hello? Who is this?

Ms. Ruan, it's me, Yan An.

Mr. Yan.

- What is it?
- Nothing.

I just wanted to ask
if you've reported to Hengshi yet.

If not, would you consider Bo'ao once more?

Bad timing.

I just entered my HR info.

Mr. Yan, thanks for the offer.

You were all set to sign with Bo'ao.

So why did you go to Hengshi?

That's how it is.

What kind of spell did
Fu Ming Yu cast on you?

Did he lure you with his looks?

Why would you say that, Mr. Yan?

Did he not?
He loves using that face to scam people.

He has broken plenty of young hearts.

Well, Mr. Fu is quite the catch.

After all, talented, graceful,

imposing, gentle,

dignified, handsome, and dashing...

None of that applies to him.

Ms. Ruan, why are you so brutally honest?

I like being around
someone with your taste.

You've got a lot of
free time lately, Mr. Yan.

If you're free,
think carefully about the breakup.

After all, once it was exposed,
it caused a very bad public reaction.

Don't go around harassing my employees.

And don't try to poach them.

And please follow the rules of the trade.

I don't mind taking
over your Bali travel contract.

Haven't you taken on enough already?

Ms. Ruan, we meet again.

Welcome to Hengshi Air.

This should be our second meeting.

Second time?

Ms. Ruan, you seem to know me very well.

You heard what I just said, Mr. Fu?

- I was just told so.
- Who told you?

By an anonymous friend.

Mr. Fu, sorry to interrupt.

The meeting's about to start.

Mr. Fu.

- Yes?
- Sorry about that earlier.

I shouldn't have listened to rumors
and bad-mouthed you.

I should've gotten to know you first.

And then keep bad-mouthing me?

I have something else to do. I'm leaving.

I still need to pick up my uniform.

Then after work, remember
to check your phone.

Here.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

I'll get going then.

Ruan.

Let me take that.

- Thanks.
- No problem. Mr. Fu sent me.

He said there might be a lot of uniforms,
so he sent me to help.

Let's go. We can talk on the way.

Mr. Fu sent you?

Well, that's nice of him.
It makes me so uneasy.

I'll check the contract again.
Just in case there are any hidden clauses.

How could that be?
Hengshi could never do something like that.

Hengshi can't.

But with Fu Ming Yu, it's hard to say.

For some reason,
I keep feeling there is more to this.

Ms. Ruan, about what happened three years ago,
there must have been some misunderstanding.

But look how good things are now.
Mr. Fu is so attentive to you.

Attentive, yet he still doesn't even
remember who I am.

His memory's that bad? Don't we
do medical checkups at this airline?

The higher-ups are always forgetful.

Mr. Fu is very busy most of the time.

Let me remind you of something.

Tomorrow morning,
there's a photo sh**t for the new pilots.

Corporate Publicity will notify you soon.

So tonight, get some good rest.

Don't stay up late. Stay in top shape.

Let's go.

- I just checked it. Have Li review it again.
- Okay. There shouldn't be any problems.

- You two head back first.
- Okay.

Boss.

Smells pretty good.

Bring me last year's full travel log.

Do you want some?

The last two years' records.

What's going on?

Isn't that Mr. Fu's assistant?

Why would he be with Ruan Si Xian?

Let's go, let's go.

She must have a pretty strong backing.

Bai Yang, come in.

The more I think about it,

the more I feel
that Ruan's hostility is aimed at me.

Ruan's "hospitality" is for me?

So you think there's something fishy here?

Definitely.

Fish?

Fish what?

Fish and chips?

Mr. Fu, so that's how it is.

I think it's time to get tougher.

It's not that serious.

Go to HR.

Pull Ruan Si Xian's file.

That's wise!

Come on, Qiao Qiao. Hurry.

Go to HR and pull Ruan Si Xian's file.

Hurry.

Why are you so worked up over a file?

I told you not to steal my project.

And stop acting and pretending.

Stop stealing.

Are you okay, Fu Ming Yu?

Can you shut up and focus?

No.

If I don't roast your workout,
does it even count as exercise?

Right?

Ruan was going to fall for me
after joining Bo'ao.

I even picked a kindergarten for our kid.

But you beat me to her.

Still, Mr. Fu, I have to thank you.

Now there's no work tying me to her.

We can date even more openly.

I need to speed things up for us.

Ruan Si Xian.

Ms. Ruan. Are you free lately?

Want to grab afternoon tea?

What's with the vocal fry? That's sleazy.

That's what a sexy man's voice sounds like.

You're her WeChat friend?

Yeah.

Ruan...

Don't tell me
someone hasn't added her on WeChat.

I feel better now.

[Ruan Si Xian]
[This is Fu Ming Yu]

I've just started, so I'm a bit busy.

Ms. Ruan, I'm waiting for you.

I have all the time in the world.

Mr. Fu, you're done?

Leaving already?

Ms. Ruan, I'm waiting for you.

I have all the time in the world.

[Fu Ming Yu, Add Friend]
[Delete]

Why isn't there a reject button
for friend requests?

What a shame I can't directly reject him.

If they had a button
for never accepting this person's request,

it would be even better.

Maybe it's to protect
the other person's pride.

Just ignore people like that.

You're right.

Looks like you're wiser than I am.

Anything else you need?

What are you laughing at?

Nothing. Just looking
at Ms. Ruan's Moments.

It's funny and pretty insightful.

What did she say?

See for yourself.

Well...

Why isn't there a reject button
for friend requests?

What a shame I can't directly reject him.

If they had a button
for never accepting this person's request,

it would be even better.

- Funny?
- That's not funny at all.

Did you tell her about
tomorrow's promo sh**t?

Zeng Yu already briefed Ruan Si Xian
on the campaign plan in detail.

Not "briefed". It's a discussion.

Tell Zeng Yu to fully
respect Ruan's opinion.

Got it.

Hello?

I know you've landed.

The hotel is already arranged.

Why would I stay at a hotel? I have a home.

What's your problem?

I came all this way to help you.

And you send a driver to pick me up?

Just wait till I fleece you tomorrow.

Didn't you win the bid because
you were the best value?

If you fleece me,
then I need to think this over.

Fine. Today, I'll let you play client
for a change.

Just you wait.

Back this late?

You aren't early either.

Have you been drinking?

You've been drinking, haven't you?

You just came up and sniffed me.

Anyone sober wouldn't do that.

I didn't mean anything by it.

You have a sh**t tomorrow.

I just wanted to remind you.

Drinking can cause swelling.

I said I didn't drink.

How long are you planning
to keep your eyes closed like that?

Didn't I already say that?

How long are you planning
to keep your eyes closed like that?

How much longer are
you planning to sit here?

Can't be.

Mr. Fu, long time no see.

It's her.

That's disgusting.

Why would I dream that?

Most people bully others
by leaning on power.

He just bullies, with or without power!

Mr. Fu.

Morning.

Morning.

What are you doing? Stealing my earbuds?

No.

I think we should talk.

I keep feeling like you
have a problem with me.

Yes.

I hate anyone named Fu.

Morning, Mr. Fu.

Stop that.

Sorry. It scared you.

It's okay.

Liuliu doesn't bite anyway.

Are you scared of dogs?

I was bitten as a kid.

Mr. Fu.

Here. Wipe it off.

There's more in back.

I'll do it.

That's enough.

- Done.
- Thanks.

I'll give you a ride.

Okay. Thanks.

By the way, Mr. Fu.

Mr. Qin had someone deliver an invitation
to your office yesterday afternoon.

His wedding is on the seventh next month.
Will you be going?

Which Mr. Qin?

The son of the chairman of Zhengxi Steel,
Qin Jia Hang.

He's marrying the flight attendant
at our company. Remember her?

The girl who accidentally spilled
coffee all over him in first class.

That was quite a stunt.

You don't want to be our flight attendant?

I don't want to be a
Hengshi flight attendant.

- I want to be...
- The boss's wife.

Keep dreaming.

I heard Mr. Qin doesn't seem very happy
with this marriage.

He said it went ahead without his consent.

I was wondering if maybe you could...

I won't go. Please turn them down for me.

Okay, got it.

It's... It's a little warm.

Ms. Ruan, want some water?

I'll open it for you.

Let me.

Let me.

You're good.

No wonder you're the kind of woman
who can send people flying.

I can send people to the grave.

What is it?

Now that you've taken a few shots at me,
are you feeling better now?

Sorry, Mr. Fu.

I just speak my mind.

No offense intended.

You won't take it personally, will you?

Of course not.

But you didn't have
to show it on your face.

Please pull over up
ahead. I'll get out there.

- Ms. Ruan, we're not there yet.
- I know. I'll get out up ahead.

The front gate is crowded.
Let's avoid any gossip.

Is that really necessary?

What do you mean?

We're not in a relationship
that calls for that, are we?

He's avoiding me that fast.

Did he borrow those legs
and rush to return them?

Ms. Ruan, we're starting soon.

I'll take you over there first.

Come in.

Mr. Fu, here's Ruan Si Xian's file.

Wait.

Have you read the file?

No, I haven't.

Do you think Bai Yang knows about this?

He's always known.

- Didn't you say you hadn't read it?
- I haven't, but I don't need to.

I've always known too.

Mr. Fu, if that's all, I'll get going.

[New Employee Registration Form]

[Hengshi Jiang City HQ, Crew Division Four]

Aren't we taking pictures?

Why did you bring me to the warehouse?

This was our photographer's idea.

This warehouse is huge,
so we have the space to sh**t properly.

Ruan, thanks for coming.
We dragged you here so early.

Ruan, let me properly introduce you.

This is Zeng Yu,
our Corporate Publicity manager.

- Nice to meet you.
- Hello.

- No need to introduce her.
- No introduction needed. She's gorgeous.

Let's get started.

- Let's go.
- This way.

Then let's start with makeup.

Honestly, makeup is optional.

You're naturally beautiful.

You look like a celebrity.

Over here.

Make it look good.

Go on, Mr. Zeng.

Okay, Ruan. While they work on you,
I'll quickly walk you through the plan.

Mr. Fu designed this plan
for the new aircraft model.

It goes fully live on the maiden flight.

Once this plan rolls out,

it'll blow the old Hengshi Air campaign
out of the water.

It'll be absolutely unprecedented.

- Truly one of a kind...
- Wait.

Just me?

What about the other pilots?

I'm just a follow-up pilot.

Here's the thing, Ruan.

Everyone's schedules
are completely staggered.

- You're the first one we're sh**ting.
- Yes. And you're the most important one.

You'll become the face
of Hengshi's new aircraft campaign.

This is a real honor.

So...

The real reason Mr. Fu insisted
on signing me for this?

I'm sorry, but may I ask
if Mr. Fu is coming today?

He...

Well...

Barring any surprises,
he should be here any minute.

Then may I ask to speak with him?

Don't worry.

I'll step outside, make a call,
and ask him for you, okay?

You get your makeup done first.

Mr. Zeng.

I'm not trying to make your job harder.

I just want to understand
a few things first.

I understand.

I totally do.

- Why are you in such a panic?
- It's Ruan Si Xian. She...

She...

I was just looking for her.

Perfect.

Mr. Fu.

I really don't like this feeling.

And now I have to vent to you again.

Is there something wrong with the sh**t?

You called me back...

You called me back just for publicity?

Even if it was,
it still shouldn't have centered on me.

Captain Fan Lei and Captain Yue Yang,
they're both a better fit than I am.

What's wrong? You don't feel well?

That doesn't matter.

I just wanted to check
if we can change the sh**t plan.

I asked if you weren't feeling well.

I was fine just now.

Bai Yang, take Ruan Si Xian
back to the apartment to rest.

Let's stop filming for today.

Don't give me that.
Use my car to take her back to rest.

Whether I rest or not isn't the point.

What matters is
that you listen carefully to me.

I won't make the same mistake twice.

The same mistake?

I'm listening carefully.

Go back and get some rest.

I'll adjust the sh**t plan later.

Go on.

Bai Yang.

Ms. Ruan.

I'll drive you back.

Let's go.

I really can't understand that.

He goes after you. Why take it out on me?

How am I torturing
you? You said it yourself.

Whenever I'm unhappy,
you always take me out to have fun.

Then let's have fun.
Something laid-back and artsy, okay?

How about golf?

I've never done something this bold before.

Do you know that this is
also called "ballet on the wall"?

How artsy!

Just climb.

Go.

Keep me safe.

I haven't done anything to any of you.

I haven't done anything to anyone either.
So why do I deserve to be stood up?

Enough. What are you still looking at?

Grab some chalk and get on the wall.

You wanted this.

All Mr. Fu had to do was flick his fingers,
and you went running over to him.

You've been like this
since you were little.

You can't shake it.

I came back this time purely for the money.

You expect me to believe that?
You, Zheng You An, need the money?

If you really had that kind of backbone,

would you really fly back
if I bought you a ticket now?

Wasn't the route I picked
for you hard enough?

How are you still making snide remarks
when you're on the wall?

Save your ticket!
I just don't want to waste money.

And that has nothing to do with him!

Besides, I've long since lost
whatever feelings I had for him.

The sweet, childish memory I had of him
has almost faded.

I never believe in pure
male-female friendship.

Aren't we just that?

- Let go.
- I can't. I can't let go.

Your feet are almost on the ground.
Let go. It's fine.

Cut it out.

Fu Ming Yu.

Liar.

Easy.

You'll burst my drum if you keep that up.

Looks like the painkillers are kicking in.
You're fine now.

Thanks for the painkillers
and the sanitary pads.

But then again, isn't Fu Ming
Yu just a straight-up scammer?

I thought I'd downloaded an anti-scam app.

And it still didn't stop him.

A scam has to get something out of you.

What did he scam out of you?

Your money?

I remember he gave
you double relocation pay.

Or maybe he scammed your feelings?

He ruined my dream!

He tempted me with double pay
and a homegrown jet.

Who could resist that kind of temptation?

He's a top-tier con artist.

He knows exactly what we need
and hits us right where it hurts.

Honestly, I think it's fine.

You've got to represent Hengshi
and promote a homegrown jet.

I envy you.

If I could go,

I'd eat balanced meals for life
and pray for my career to take off.

I'll switch with you.
You take the promotion.

Seriously.

Promoting Z101 was no problem.

I wasn't surprised by how he
squeezed extra value out of workers.

But he can't use my dream to lure me in

and then tell me I was just a gimmick.

That's twisted.

Since the result's the same,
do you really care how he put it?

Of course I do.

He's insulting my dream.

Besides,

a rookie like me doesn't get
to promote a homegrown jet.

You can stop dreaming.

Reality's about to slap you in the face.

There's a guest. I'll head down first.

Then take a break for a bit.

I'll go do grunt work for Xuan.

So you already knew who she was?

Yes.

Three years ago, when we went to Ma'ao,
she was on that flight.

She even served you a few cups of coffee.

Do you remember now?

I don't want to be a
Hengshi flight attendant.

- I want to be...
- The boss's wife.

Keep dreaming.

Don't forget you're still
wearing the Hengshi Air uniform.

Can you at least consider
the company's image?

Mr. Fu, please read this letter.

Once you read it, you'll
understand everything.

Later, she showed up at Alvin's party too.

Didn't you talk to her for a while?

Would you believe me
if I said today was pure coincidence?

Yes. Of course I do.
I'd even believe you could fly.

I think you just want a shortcut.

She quit after the party ended.

Mr. Fu, I actually warned you.

When I was sorting through your work email,

I found she sent you a dozen emails
about the Soar Initiative.

By then, she'd already passed
the Soar Initiative screening.

She had already been admitted
to Flight Academy.

Later, at Flight Academy, I met her
and remembered what happened.

Back then, it wasn't just you.

Maybe we all had Ruan Si Xian wrong.

She even got into the Soar Initiative.

- Yes.
- She just wants to be a pilot.

She had no other agenda at all.
She just wants to be a pilot.

Then if you knew she wanted to be a pilot,

why didn't you warn me sooner?

Back at the Aviation Academy,

Ruan Si Xian threatened me.

If Mr. Fu never figures out who I am,
I'd appreciate it if you don't fill him in.

Because I want nothing to do with him.

I can't believe she cares that much
about what happened three years ago.

It's the exact opposite.

Mr. Fu, it's the exact opposite.

She doesn't want you to feel indebted
because you misjudged her.

That's why she never brought it up.

She came to Hengshi
for that Chinese-built jumbo jet.

She wanted to earn it
through her own hard work and skill.

As for everything else,
she moved on a long time ago.

Bai Yang.

Every time she sees
me, she bites my head off.

Do you really think she's moved on?

I really think you've
been off for two days.

Have I? I don't think so.

You're overthinking it.

Is this the place?

This is the bar they recommended.

It's pretty lively.

Good evening. Welcome aboard.

Sit anywhere you like.

Okay...

How about over here?
It's quieter and less crowded.

Okay. Right there.

Thanks.

Careful.

Then let's sit here.

Okay.

Please have a seat.

Here is our drink menu.
Take a look and see what you'd like.

You're the owner?

Yes.

Then we don't need to look.
I'll go with your choice.

I'll have what he's having.

Okay.

We have a refreshing jasmine c*ck.

It's called Pilot's Halo.

Perfect for this lovely lady.

What would suit me?

For you, I'd recommend Captain Sully.

It's a whiskey-based c*ck.

Does that work for you two?

Sure. Your call.

Great. Please give me a moment.

You said this place is a flight-themed bar.

No wonder. I heard her
say "Welcome aboard,"

and thought it was you.

You seemed pretty happy to hear it.

Well, when she said it,
it just didn't sound as good as you.

Oh, stop it.

I heard from the young women on my crew
that this place was a hit.

Now that I'm here,

those girls don't usually have great taste,
but they know how to pick a bar.

- Here is your Pilot's Halo.
- Thank you.

I'll do it myself.

Enjoy. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks.

What's worth noticing is
how beautiful the owner is, right?

I think she actually looks pretty good.

This drink doesn't taste good either.

Really?

Let me try it.

I think it's fine.

Then drink your own.
You've got some. Why are you drinking mine?

I have a question for you.

So this is a flight-themed bar.

And it's close to the airport.

I think a lot of your coworkers
would come here, right?

Hard to say.

People in our line of work wouldn't
like a bar that smells like overtime.

So what are we now?

Working overtime?

We're on a date.

This c*ck really is average.

The decor's not bad, but the
c*ck isn't to either of our tastes.

And the band is way too loud.

How about this?

There's a lounge downstairs in my hotel.

I have some bottles saved there.
How about we go there?

But I wanted to see the show.

Does your lounge have live music?

If you want to hear singing,
I can sing for you.

Then sing now.

Now?

You sure?

What song should I sing?

I'm kidding.

I was messing with you.

Actually, today,
I just wanted it to be the two of us.

I wanted to find some quiet place
where we can have a real talk.

For real.

All right.

I'm going to use the restroom.

I will finish this drink, and we'll leave.

Okay. No problem. Hurry up.

Wait for me.

Ruan Si Xian?

Jiang?
