Episode 11

In Won’s mansion
Won Xin: Hey Caleb, how is the trip?
Caleb: Hmm… Not bad. We have clinched the deal.
Fiona: I heard that Candice & you…
Caleb: I believe brother has told you already.
Won Xin: Really? Bring her back for dinner one day.
Caleb: Not so soon I believed. She is very shy.

Kennedy walks out from his room

Kennedy: Hey bro, you have a girlfriend already?
Caleb: Yes.
Kennedy: That’s good, unlike me! I just broke up with my girlfriend.
Caleb: Oh sorry.
Kennedy: It’s not your fault. I go and sleep. Good night!

In Caleb’s office
Candice: Hey dear, you need to meet Mr. Julian in Tiger Pub on Friday.
Caleb: Tiger Pub?
Candice: You aren’t that comfortable with the idea of going to a pub?
Caleb: I’m afraid that you will…
Candice: Yes, I am afraid that those girls there will seduce you. I have confidence in you. Anyway, did you contact Bubble Tea and find out what had happened to her?
Caleb: I tried to contact her via my brother. It seems that she is always busy.
Candice: Okay, we try and look for her.

In Kennedy’s office
Dick: Everything is okay?
Kennedy: What can I do? I’m really unlucky. The dear brother of mine is so lucky. I don’t deny the fact that I’m jealous.
Dick: Anyway, what do you think about Candice? She is really hot.
Kennedy: Yup, she is. Well, she is my brother’s girlfriend.
Dick: Why not? As long as she isn’t married, or as long as she is still alive, you still stand a chance.
Kennedy: What do you have in mind?
Dick: You can…

Someone knocks on the door
Joey: Mr. Won, Madam Ouyang is looking for you
Dick: Then I go out first.
Ouyang: Hey Kennedy, have you made a decision?
Kennedy: As in assisting you to get power in Green plain organization?
Ouyang: Do you need me to remind you about that?
Kennedy: Okay!
Ouyang: You have no choice. Your shares in the organization are just enough to make you stay in the director board. I can help you to secure your position. Don’t forget to include Tan.
Kennedy: You need me to go against my family?
Ouyang: Yes! Do they treat you as your family? Remember how they “helped” you?
Kennedy: So who should I target first?
Ouyang: Firstly, it’s your brother, Caleb. Try to distract him from work. You can ask Dick to help you. He should have something in mind.

In Independent Restaurant
Ulysses: Where is Bubble Tea?
Lollipop: She is on MC.
Zhu Zai: She is on MC for like 1 week already. I haven’t seen her since she came back from Paris. Is she really that sick?
Ulysses: Hey Candice, where is Caleb?
Candice: Your dear brother is parking his car.
Ulysses: You take a seat first.
Caleb: Hey brother…
Ulysses: Caleb, how is your trip? It should be very fun and memorable.
Caleb: Don’t tease me! Anyway, is Bubble Tea okay?
Ulysses: She hasn’t been going to work since she came back from Paris.
Candice: Is she sick? I think we go and pay her a visit.
Lollipop: I don’t think it’s necessary. She won’t see anyone.
Ulysses: Lollipop, can you come over for a while?

At a corner
Ulysses: Bubble Tea is not sick, right?
Lollipop: Don’t you believe me?
Ulysses: She is just hiding. Something happened in Paris, right?
Lollipop: Don’t ask me anything about it. I know nuts.
Ulysses: You know nuts?
Lollipop: Stop asking me!

At Bubble Tea’s house
Ulysses: Bubble Tea, come out! I know you are inside. You think that you can avoid everything? You can’t avoid for life.
Lollipop: Boss, can you don’t pester my sister and give her a break?
Ulysses: I don’t know what problem you have encountered but do you know you have to overcome it? If you can’t solve such a minor thing, how do you succeed in life? Please come back. Independent Restaurant won’t be complete without you. You think about it.

Bubble Tea comes out
Bubble Tea: Boss, do you understand how I’m feeling now? The guy whom I like is dating somebody else.
Ulysses: What? You like Caleb?
Bubble Tea: Why can’t I?
Ulysses: I didn’t say that you cannot like my brother. You look at yourself now. You hide here for 1 week and don’t go out. What is it for? You are no match to Candice now!
Lollipop: Boss, enough!
Ulysses: I miss the jovial Bubble Tea. Everyone in the restaurant misses that. I hope that you can get over this and resume your work as soon as possible. Remember, Independence Restaurant won’t be complete with you, Bubble Tea! You think about it!

Episode 10

Episode 10
In a restaurant in Paris
Bubble Tea: The food here is really great.
Lollipop: Yes Candice, this is really good. How do you know about this restaurant?
Candice: Well, I have read about this restaurant on the magazine.
Caleb: Not too bad. Hold on, let me pick up a call. Hello sister, what? Dad has been admitted into the hospital? He fell at home? All right, do update me!
Bubble Tea: How is uncle?
Caleb: He fell at home and fainted. He is now in the A&E. I still don’t know what his condition is. You all eat first. I will be going to the park nearby. Leave me alone.
(Everyone looks at one another)
Back in the hotel
Lollipop: Dear Miss Bao Pao Pao, so you are making your tiramisu?
Bubble Tea: Yes. Now is like 10pm already, I must rush to the park to be the first one to wish Caleb a happy birthday and cut the cake with him.
Lollipop: Make sure it’s a good one. From last night till now, this is like your 8th attempt. Bubble Tea: Don’t be sarcastic! Though I’m not as talented as Candice in languages, I’m better than her in baking cake and caring for others.

In Candice’s room
Candice: It is like 11.30pm now. Let me make a card and write something on it and bring it to Caleb. Hope that I can brighten him up.

15 minutes later
Candice: Okay. I should go now.

2 minutes later
Lollipop: Bubble Tea, you are going? Good luck!

In Candice’s taxi
Candice: Sir, do you know the way? I need to be there in 10 minutes. Oh my god, my taxi has a flat tyre.
In Bubble Tea’s taxi
Bubble Tea: Sir, can you drive faster? What? Candice is in front of me. Pass the stationary taxi in front!
(Candice’s taxi is overtaken)
Bubble Tea: Good, I can be there before Candice.

In Candice’s taxi
Candice: I can walk to the park from here?
Taxi driver: Yes, just make a left in front. You will reach there.

In Bubble Tea’s taxi
Bubble Tea: Hope that Candice won’t make it there. Ha-ha!

In the park
(Caleb is walking around)
Candice: Caleb, happy birthday!

In Bubble Tea’s taxi
Bubble: Oh my god, my taxi driver has overshot the location and he is making a U-turn. Fast!

In the park
Caleb: Your card is really lovely.
Candice: It’s just a little effort of mine. We just hope that Uncle will be all right. Oh my god, it’s really cold here.
Caleb: This time unlike few months back, I’m not wearing any jacket.
Candice: Oh, I haven’t returned you your jacket yet. We have been too busy that time.
(Caleb is looking at Candice)
Candice: Does my face have something? Anyway, your hand phone is ringing
Caleb: Hello sister, what? Dad is okay? He can be discharged tomorrow?
Candice: That’s good for you Caleb.
Caleb: Good! Hurray!(Held Candice’s hands) Oops, sorry!
Candice: It’s okay. Actually, we have known each other for like 1 year already? What do you think about me?
Caleb: You are a helpful and sweet girl. I really feel comfortable with you than any other girls. Actually……
Candice: (Blushed) What do you want to say?
Caleb: Actually I want to say, can I be your boyfriend?
Candice: What?
Caleb: Never mind, just treat that I wasn’t talking just now.
Candice: Well, I’m cold now. I need my boyfriend to hold my hand and hug me.
Caleb: You mean it?
(Caleb hugs Candice)
(Bubble Tea ran in)
Bubble Tea: The taxi driver is a con. Thank god it’s now 11.58pm. I’m still on time. (He saw Caleb and Candice)
Bubble Tea: I can’t believe it. (Drop the box of tiramisu on the floor & cry) Caleb Won, I can’t believe that you are doing this to me.

In the hotel room
Lollipop: Don’t feel sad Bubble Tea.
Bubble Tea: (Still crying) Do you understand how I feel when you see the guy you like hugging another girl?
Lollipop: I tell you already, don’t put high hope! Candice & Caleb meet almost everyday.
Bubble Tea: Enough! Sister, let’s pack our luggage. I want to leave Paris now.
Lollipop: What?
Bubble Tea: Yes. I forget to tell you. I have booked air tickets for tomorrow 7am flight back to Singapore.
Lollipop: Isn’t it too rash of you?
Bubble Tea: I don’t care. I just want to leave here. People say that Paris is the city of romance. It’s so sarcastic! I’ll never come to Paris anymore.

Next morning
Hotel staff: Good morning, is this Mr. Caleb?
Caleb: Yes.
Hotel staff: Just to inform you that the 2 Miss Baos have flew back to Singapore this morning.
Caleb: What?
Candice: Perhaps they have something urgent. We contact them when we go back Singapore tomorrow.

On the plane
Lollipop: Are you okay?
Bubble Tea: I won’t come back to Paris anymore. I hate this place. Candice, I never thought that there would be a day that I lose to you.

Episode 9

In Independent Restaurant
Ulysses: Hey Bubble Tea, I got this list of French phrases for you.
Bubble Tea: Thanks boss.
Zhu Zai: So when are you all flying off?
Bubble Tea: 3 days later.
Ulysses: Wait, are you all taking the night flight?
Lollipop: Wow boss, you have the 6th sense?
Ulysses: Nope, because my brother is also taking that flight. He needs to do some business over there.
Lollipop: Okay.

In the car
Lollipop: Hey sister, what do you want to buy in France?
(Bubble Tea is thinking and smiling)
Lollipop: Why are you so engrossed? You have been smiling since early in the morning.
Bubble Tea: I’m just happy.
Lollipop: Don’t try to trick me. I have been living with you for so many years. You have a crush on Caleb, right?
Bubble Tea: Don’t talk rot! (Acting shy)
Lollipop: I still remember that time, when Caleb came to the restaurant with his secretary Candice, you looked so pissed.
Bubble Tea: Yea, right!
(Telephone rings)
Bubble Tea: Hello Caleb. Yes, boss has told me that you are traveling to Paris 3 days later.
Caleb: Yes, so I pick up you and your sister at 8pm 3 days later.
Bubble Tea: Thank you, ha-ha! See you then.
Lollipop: I didn’t malign you, right.

In Green Plain Organisation Conference Room
Won Xin: This time round, our European Conference is a success. We manage to get more projects from foreign companies. It’s estimated to have an increase of 25% in profit.
(Everybody applauds)
Won Xin: However, I cannot accept a mistake made by our director, who is also the GM for the European Department (Yell). Kennedy, you must explain to the others.
Kennedy: I admit it’s my mistake that I didn’t check the contract that we signed it with Mr. Leo.
Won Xin: Do you think the other directors can accept this as an excuse? You know how much we lost because of your mistake? You are lucky, Caleb decided to share the loss with you by selling his shares. After considering, I choose to give Caleb back his share because he is innocent. In addition, I have chosen Caleb to replace Kennedy as the GM for the European department.
Kennedy: (Staring) What?

Caleb: Dad, but…
Fiona: Dad, are you sure?
Baoqing: It’s hard for Kennedy.
Won Xin: My decision is final! From now, Caleb is officially the GM of the European department. Kennedy will be the vice-GM.

In the pub

Dick: Kennedy, we can’t change the fact, right. I can tell that your Dad is grooming your brother.
Kennedy: Just a small mistake and they strip me off my post. He is my dad, how can he do that? I don’t know if I’m his son. How can a dad to be so ruthless?
Dick: If you have to blame, blame your brother. Everything is all right until he came back from Cambridge.
Kennedy: You are right. I need to take back everything. Caleb Won, watch it!

In the car to airport
Caleb: Chauffeur, stop here.
Lollipop: Hello Caleb.
Bubble Tea: Hey Caleb, it’s so nice of you to send us to the airport.
Caleb: You are welcome. Chauffeur, please drive to Margaret Drive.
Bubble Tea: Aren’t we going to the airport?
Caleb: Nope, we need to pick up Candice. She will be going Paris with me for business.
Bubble Tea: What? (Sad)

In the airport
Bubble Tea: I want to go and check the price of the perfume.
Lollipop: I’ll go and take a look at the wine.
Candice: Oh, I’ll also like to go to the perfume shop.
Caleb: Then you go with Bubble Tea.
Bubble Tea: Sorry, I feel like going to look at the price of Vodka. Sister, let’s go.
Caleb: Like that, Candice I go with you.
(Bubble Tea looks sad)

In the wine shop

Lollipop: You see, I’m correct. At the beginning, you don’t want to go with Candice. Then, when Caleb wants to go with Candice, you display such a glum face.
Bubble Tea: Yeah, you are right. I’m jealous. I like Caleb, so what? What is so good about Candice? She is talented only. I think I’m prettier than her.
Lollipop: Love is not only about being smart or pretty.

In the perfume shop
Candice: What are you looking at?
Caleb: I’m looking for a bottle of cologne for Mr. Brown.
Candice: Ha-ha. I’m looking for a brand of perfume, Guerlain.
Caleb: Isn’t it over there?
Candice: Oh ya, you have shape eyes.

In Paris
Caleb: Hey Bubble Tea, we need to rush and sign the contract with Mr. Brown. You all check in into the hotel first. Do inform me about your hotel name and the room number. I’ll look for you later on.
Candice: See you guys.

In Mr. Brown’s room
Mr. Brown: Mr. Caleb, I’ll sign the contract with you. Happy working!
Caleb: Thanks.
Candice: Thanks so much, sir!

On the street
Caleb: Finally it has come to an end!
Candice: Only for now. You are the GM now. You will have more things to do.
Caleb: Actually I feel very bad, Kennedy is still my brother.
Candice: Yes I understand.
Caleb: I have called the office. We will be given a 4 days leave. Let’s have fun here.
Candice: Anyway, your birthday is 2 days later, right?
Caleb: Ha-ha, you have peeped into my passport first?
Candice: I’m observant.

In the hotel
Bubble Tea: Hurray, Caleb has successfully signed the contract. They will be coming over. We will be going out for a meal later.
Lollipop: I think I can help you. Caleb’s birthday is 2 days later. I happen to see his personal documents just now.
Bubble Tea: I know what to do. I’m going to the supermarket to bake a cake for him.
Lollipop: Hello miss, you are in a hotel. Where on earth you can find an oven?
Bubble Tea: I can bake tiramisu. Bye-bye…

Episode 8

In Independent Restaurant
Lollipop: Boss, do listen to me. I can tell that your daddy really wants you to go back. Perhaps I don’t know everything about the feud between the two of you. Trust me, your daddy really loves you.
Bubble Tea: Yes, you still have the chance to eat with your daddy. For my sister and me, we don’t even have the chance. My parents have already passed away (Cried)
Zhu Zai: (Grab a box of tissue) Don’t think about it already. At least you have great friends like us now.
Ulysses: Okay then, let’s go for my dad’s birthday dinner tomorrow.
Bubble Tea: Hurray!

In Won’s Mansion
Won Xin: Don’t know if Ulysses is coming back today?
Fiona: Dad, we have tried our best. Lollipops, Bubble Tea & Zhu Zai are helping us. I had asked them to pass him the video.
(Doorbell rings)
Baoqing: Aunt Ying, answer the door.
Aunt Ying: Hello! Oh my god, 2nd Young Master.
Ulysses: Aunt Ying!
Won Xin: (Ran to the door) Ulysses!
Ulysses: Dad!
Won Xin: I’m so scared that you won’t come and celebrate my birthday with me.
Ulysses: Don’t talk first, dad. This is a tie from me. Happy birthday!
Bubble Tea: Happy birthday uncle! This is a bottle of old wine from the three of us.
Caleb: Hey everyone, let’s eat!

At the dining table

Zhu Zai: Wow, the food looks delicious.
Lollipop: All the dishes are boss’s favourite.
Won Xin: These are all your favourite dishes. You haven’t been back for years, try them. Let’s see if they still taste as nice as before.
Ulysses: (Have a bite) Aunt Ying, it is even better now.
Kennedy: Everybody let’s eat! Dad, try the Thai Chicken.(Serve his dad)
Won Xin: Ulysses, take the chicken. I don’t feel like eating it today.
Ulysses: Erm… Okay then.
(Kennedy looks uncomfortable)
Kennedy: Everybody, I’m feeling unwell. I’m going back and rest.
Ulysses: What have happened?
Caleb: Something major had cropped up in our organization. Brother, tonight is a happy day. Don’t talk about it.

In the balcony (Won Xin chats with Ulysses)
Ulysses: Dad, how is your health?
Won Xin: I’ve mild hypertension. I just have to eat my medicine regularly.
Ulysses: Dad, I’m sorry about the past.
Won Xin: It’s okay. I’m at fault too. I didn’t spend time with you. I didn’t know that you don’t want to work in Green Plain Organisation, yet I still forced you. Anyway, how is your restaurant.
Ulysses: It’s getting better. I have just opened the second outlet. I have Zhu Zai & the Bao’s sister to assist me. I heard from Caleb that he is busy with a European Exhibition.
Won Xin: Yes, it’s tomorrow. Do you want to take a look?
Ulysses: Sure, how is it?
Won Xin: It didn’t have a smooth start because we over-budgeted. Recently, Kennedy made a major mistake by increasing the salary of our designer accidentally. I forced him to pay with his shares but Caleb was willing to split up the extra cost.
Ulysses: Actually you can ask me to sell my shares. Though I’m in the director board, but I don’t go for the meeting.
Won Xin: Kennedy needs to learn a lesson, you don’t need to be so nice to him.
Ulysses: No wonder he was in a bad mood just now.
Won Xin: So do you want to move part and live?
Ulysses: I’m rather busy now with my restaurant, so I don’t have time to move house. I won’t move back so soon, but I’ll move back.

In European Exhibition
Caleb: Candice, how is it?
Candice: Oh my god! I’ve been talking for hours in 4 different languages to the foreign investors. You know what, I spoke German to a Dutch just now.
Caleb: Haha, okay!
Aunt Huan: Vice GM, more and more countries are willing to do business with us. It’s really a good sign. By the way, everyone is praising about the air cabin design.
Kennedy: Yes. It makes you feel as if you are on the plane. That is so real. Mr. Leo is really a good designer.
Caleb: We really pay him a lot.
Kennedy: What are you trying to imply?
Candice: Vice GM, I need your help, please come over.
Caleb: What do you need help in?
Candice: (Pull Caleb) There is, come with me. We have no time to spare.

Candice: Caleb, why are you so blurred? I’m hinting you to take cover. Don’t you know how fuming is GM when you bring up this?
Caleb: Well, I don’t really mean it!
Candice: We don’t argue about it. Let’s finish up the exhibition as soon as possible. Only 5 more hours.

In the car park
Caleb: Candice, where are you going?
Candice: Home, I need to take a bus. My car is sent for maintenance.
Caleb: I give you a lift.
Candice: Oh ok., thanks!

In the car
Caleb: Candice, thanks for your hard work.
Candice: You don’t have to mention it. I’m not doing it for free.
Caleb: We can finally take a break.
Candice: Not yet. Don’t forget we need to carry on with the purchase of planes with Mr. Brown.
Caleb: Oh ya, we need to go America, right?
Candice: Nope, in Paris. Mr. Brown is in Paris when we meet him. Oh by the way, I remember you saying that you have a friend going Paris right?
Caleb: Yes, actually you know them. They are the Bao’s sisters.

Episode 7

In Independence Restaurant
Ulysses: Zhu Zai, take Mr. Won’s order.
Zhu Zai: Okay sir, what do you want?
Won Xin: Just give me the 10th item on your menu!
Zhu Zai: Okay. Bubble tea, send the order to the kitchen.
Won Xin: Hold on, I’ve a special request! I want your boss to be the chef.
(Zhu Zai & the Bao’s sisters were stunned)
Ulysses: Okay sir, but I also have a request. Please leave after you had your meal.
(10 minutes later)
Ulysses: Sir, your meal, Spanish seafood rice!
(Lollipop pulls Ulysses to a side.)
Lollipop: Boss, he is your dad. How can you do this?
Ulysses: I’m a little bit unwell, I am going into the room and rest.

Lollipop: Sorry Mr. Won, I think that boss is really not feeling well.
Won Xin: (Sigh) You don’t have to defend him. Anyway, what is your name?
Lollipop: I’m Bao Bang Bang, people call me lollipop. This is my sister, Bao Pao Pao, people call her bubble tea. This is Zhu Zai.
Won Xin: You all are nice people. I’m glad that Ulysses has such friends.
Lollipop: We also hope that both of you can reconcile.
Bubble Tea: Yes, if you need our help, feel free to approach us.
Won Xin: Yup. Anyway, next week is my birthday. My family has planned a dinner for me. Do turn up!
Lollipop: Sure, thanks for your invitation.

In Won’s Mansion
Fiona: So Ulysses isn’t willing to come?
Won Xin: Yes. He doesn’t even address me at all. He totally treated me as a customer.
Caleb: So, there isn’t anyway out?
Baoqing: Dad, I have thought of a way. Perhaps you can record what you want to say and we ask someone to send it over to Ulysses.
Won Xin: It seems to be the last resort. By the way, I got to know his friends in the restaurant.
Caleb: You mean Zhu Zai, Lollipop & Bubble Tea?
Won Xin: Yes, I have invited them to my birthday dinner.
Caleb: Ha-ha. They are very nice and funny people.
Fiona: Oh ya, where is Kennedy?
Baoqing: He is in his room, busy with the European Exhibition.
Won Xin: I can see his efforts for this exhibition, hopefully he can really do well.
Caleb: I think he will. The cabin for the exhibition will be completed in 3 days.

In Kennedy’s office
Dick: Hi Kennedy, urgent! (Ran in)
Kennedy: What happened?
Dick: You look at the contract signed by Leo and you?
Kennedy: (Reading) What???
Dick: When did Leo’s salary double?
Kennedy: I don’t know.
Dick: Was it Joey?
Kennedy: I’m positive that it didn’t. I check it when Joey sent to me. It is the price that we have offered. Let me think…
Dick: Did anymore sabotage you?
Kennedy: Oh my god, I know why. That day I picked up a call when I just received the email. I think I accidentally pressed the keyboard and added a number to the price that we offered.
Dick: Why do you make this mistake? We have already over-budgeted. Now we still need to pay more for Mr. Leo. We can’t breach the terms in the contract. We still have to pay Mr. Leo accordingly. I think you must talk to your father.

In Won Xin’s office
Won Xin: (Shouted) What? How can you commit such a mistake? We have already exceeded budget. How am I going to answer to the directors?
Caleb: Dad, I doubt Kennedy wants it to happen.
Kennedy: Sorry dad, but what can we do?
Won Xin: Sell your shares to cover it!
Caleb: Dad, is it necessary?
Won Xin: He created this problem, he should solve it himself. Then you expect me to use my money to cover?
Kennedy: (Counting) What? It means that you want to kick me out of director board?
Caleb: Dad, how about that? Since I’m the second IC, I should also bear some responsibility. We split up the cost?
Won Xin: Caleb, you really want to do it?
Caleb: I’m also partly responsible. I didn’t check the contract.
Won Xin: Okay, since you all have chosen this solution, then I’ll do it!

Outside Won Xin’s Office
Caleb: No worries! I won’t let daddy to kick you out of director board.
Kennedy: I don’t know why daddy behaves this way.
Caleb: He needs to go by the book. Don’t forget he is the CEO. He needs to answer for that.
(Ouyang Wei walked past)
Caleb: Hey Madam Ouyang…
Ouyang: Hello guys! I roughly had heard about what had happened. Sorry, I don’t mean to eavesdrop.
Kennedy: It’s okay. Sooner or later, you will know.
Ouyang: Anyway Kennedy, can you spare me around 10 minutes of your time? I want to talk to you.
Kennedy: (Look surprised) Me?
Ouyang: Yes you! Come into my office.
Kennedy: Okay then. Brother, see you later on!

In Independent Restaurant

Zhu Zai: Boss, someone asked me to pass you this tape. He asked me no matter what, you must finish watching it.
Ulysses: You don’t know who he is?
Zhu Zai: Nope, I can’t recognize him.

Content of the tape
Fiona: Hey bro, I specially prepared this video for you. No matter what, please finish watching okay?
(Ulysses: Why does sis prepare a video for me?)
Won Xin: Hey Ulysses, please let me talk. Last week you didn’t give me the chance to talk. Please listen to me. I know that you hate me. I do admit that it was my fault. I still remember when you were young, you were very angry that I accidentally threw the tie that was meant to be my present. Eventually, I actually picked the tie back from the rubbish bin. See, I’m actually wearing it now.
In addition, you should be angry with the fact that I chose to stop working with the Bell company and I indirectly caused the death of the CEO’s family. You really think that I’m that cold blooded? I do feel very bad. I pray to god every evening, hoping that I’m forgiven. I also tried my best to help the workers from Bell Company.
I don’t know if you believe what I say. I truly hope that you can forgive me. If you do, please turn up for my birthday’s dinner tomorrow night.
Fiona: I hope that you can see dad’s sincerity? Actually daddy is rather unhappy recently because Kennedy has kind of screwed up a project. Your appearance will definitely make him happy, do consider!
Ulysses: (Teary eyes) Did I blame him wrongly?

Episode 6

In Green Plain Organisation conference room, a meeting between directors
Won Xin: The reason for me to hold this meeting is to discuss about the budget for the European Exhibition. I understand from the European department that you all have exceeded the budget.
Kennedy: Yes dad, we have to employ the world famous designer, Mr. Leo to assist in the design of the exhibition hall. Everybody, please take a look at the file. We really need Mr. Leo because he had done such a design of an airplane cabin.
Ouyang: I understand that you all need to attract the foreign investors. However, is it necessary?
Caleb: Yes, in our list of invited guest, there are still a number of them who are still considering if they want to turn up because they can’t find the attractive point of our exhibition.
Won Xin: Okay, I will give you all the green light. We will transfer more funds for you all. Remember, don’t screw up! (Serious)

In the European Exhibition meeting
Kennedy: Joey, take down the minutes for the meeting. I’ll start off. After discussion with Aunt Huan, vice GM and Du Lang, we choose to employ Leo as the designer for the cabin. We can look at the calculated cost for this exhibition done by Du Lang. We have exceeded the budget by 3%. We have brought up to the director board. They have agreed to this with 1 condition---we can’t screw it up.
Caleb: So who is responsible for employing Leo?
Dick: Vice GM, it’s me. He had agreed to the original price and we would pay him accordingly. He’ll be coming over tomorrow to discuss with us, regarding the design of the airplane cabin.
Aunt Huan: Our time is running short. The power-point slides are done. Once Leo has settled the design, our exhibition will be okay.

In Won’s mansion
Won Xin: Caleb & Kennedy, way to go! You all are doing well, keep it up!
Caleb & Kennedy: Thanks dad! (Happily)
Aunt Ying: Master, I need to apply 2 days leave 2 weeks later.
Fiona: Are you going for a holiday?
Aunt Ying: No, madam. My daughter is coming back from Italy. I need to fetch her and settle some stuffs with her.
Caleb: You mean Joyce?
Aunt Ying: (Smile) Yes. She studied in Rome for 3 years already. She would be coming back to further her career.
Won Xin: Little Joyce ah? I still remembered that when u all were young, Ying would bring her over to play with Fiona they all. It seemed to be yesterday. Time really flies.
Fiona: Yes, I still remember. Last time, when she was in primary school, she would come over to do homework and we would help each other.
Kennedy: Yes, I still remember she was really good friends with elder brother. Last time we all still teased them that they were together, and then…… (Caleb tapped him and asked him to stop talking.) Erm… Sorry!
Won Xin: So Ying, you take the leave. Remember to bring Joyce back for dinner one day!
Fiona: So daddy, have you considered what I suggested to you, regarding your birthday dinner that time?
Won Xin: (Act blur) Let’s eat!

In Kennedy’s office
Joey: GM, please take a look at the contract in your e-mail that will be signed by Mr. Leo later on.
Kennedy: Okay, no problem! What time will he be coming?
Joey: After lunch! GM, I go out first.
(Kennedy logs into his email, then he receives a call)
Kennedy: Hello, yes! Hello Mr. Tyler, how is life in Geneva? Ok… (Talk to you next time, bye!
Okay, I’ll print it out.

After lunch, in European department conference room
Joey: Let’s invite our GM Mr. Kennedy Won & Mr. Leo Li to sign the contract.
Leo: (Talk softly) They are really generous in the offering of money. They even double the pay which I ask for.
(Mr. Leo & Kennedy shake hand)
Kennedy: Mr. Leo, hope that we will have a happy working together!
Leo: Hope so, Mr. Won.

Back in Won’s mansion, in Won Xin’s bedroom
Won Xin looked at the old photos
Won Xin: They all have grown up already.
Flashback (When Ulysses was in primary school)
Won Xin: Ulysses, you are back from school?
Ulysses: Yes, daddy. (Holding on a box) Daddy, happy birthday! I bought you a tie.
Won Xin: I’m busy now. You put on the table.
Ulysses: (Glum) Okay then.

Ulysses: (Angry) Daddy, why do you throw the tie into the rubbish bin?
Won Xin: I don’t mean it. Sorry!
Ulysses: (Cry) I don’t care, you don’t treasure my gift. I hate you, daddy!

(When Ulysses completes his university)
Ulysses: I don’t want to enter Green Plain Organisation.
Won Xin: You have to, you are my son!
Ulysses: (Shouted) I hate the way you do business. You choose to stop working with Bell Company and because of that, they declare bankrupt and many people suffer. Do you know the CEO and his family committed suicide?
Won Xin: I didn’t foresee it, but this is a part of business.
Ulysses: I won’t work with you.
Won Xin: Okay, you step out of the mansion and don’t come back anymore!

Back to the present
Won Xin: (Took out the tie from his wardrobe) Is Fiona right? The only way to ask him back is to make a trip to his restaurant by myself?

In Independent Restaurant
Zhu Zai: Hey bubble tea, do you want to go for a movie later?
Bubble tea: Hmm… You want to date me? I still don’t know about my schedule.
Zhu Zai: Then it’s okay.
Lollipop: Zhu Zai, come over. This sister of mine isn’t easy to woo. You must try hard. I feel that she has somebody in her heart already. So you really have to try your best.
Ulysses: Hey guys, I know we are knocking off in 20 minutes but these 20 minutes you don’t need to work?
Lollipop: Oops, we start working.
Won Xin enters the restaurant
Won Xin: Ulysses!
Zhu Zai: Mr. Won!
Ulysses: Sir, how many people?
Won Xin: (Shocked) 1 person!
Ulysses: Lollipop, take his order.
Lollipop: Huh?
Ulysses: Do I need to speak in another language?
