Thorn (刺)

The health class was a success...

Old men and old ladies are very cute.

Are they?

That's a lot.

They were eager to buy.

Many people like to go fishing.

That's great.

Business is booming everyday.

Good, save the rest.

Alright.

Saving.

Good job.

"See you at the office tomorrow at 8."

"9 o'clock."

Are you Qian Chen?

I am.

Follow me.

Why should I?

Don't you have a fishbone stuck?

Wenyi.

Wenyi.

No, that is...

I feel better.

Much better.

I'm fine.

He won't hurt you.

You think...

I'm afraid of pain?

No, I'm not afraid of the doctor.

It's for your own good.

You're back home.

That's good.

I come today...

to discuss something with you.

I heard...

I prayed Buddha to bring you prosperity.

It worked, right?

Business is good, right?

You're striking gold.

Don't push your luck.

We wouldn't.

We know our limits.

yet if you can walk a mile...

you can walk another mile.

Tell you the truth.

My brother here...

plans to start a small business...

but he's strapped for cash.

You see...

he lives on a small salary.

I know what you do to those students...

you're miserable loan sharks.

You have no morality.

Loan shark, you say?

I resent your unjust accusation.

Me, a loan shark?

I'm helping them.

Exactly.

Think about it.

Students nowadays...

can't afford to buy anything.

They barely have enough day by day.

What I do...

I give them access to the consumer society.

It gives them a start to get involved.

I have more compassion than their parents, and...

Enough now.

Alright.

Alright then.

So that's all you have?

I don't have that much cash.

No, look, I thought we had a deal.

I told you, don't push me.

Pushing you?

Am I pushing...

am I pushing that hard?

Fine.

Since you insist...

a transfer.

A transfer to your ass.

Bro...

Why did you require a transfer?

Now we just have to wait.

She will pay.

How do you know?

Think about it...

over the years we've increased her fee tenfold.

She always paid her due.

It's within her capacity.

She's a smart person.

She'll do the math...

either pay or...

face the consequences, because...

if we publicly expose her.

Her life could be totally destroyed.

And she's very aware of that.

Simply, since we got 80,000...

I was testing the waters...

assessing if she has the capacity.

I saw her genuinely reluctant...

so I agreed to a transfer.

I want to give her some leeway.

Leave her to stew a bit.

I'm telling you...

she will transfer the funds.

We like that sense of quality in our visitors.

Our temp workers are often unethical.

About the accommodations...

I will gladly refund you doubly the rooms.

What about me?

The boat outing, sadly...

is heavily dependent on the weather.

We should have warned you ahead.

For this time we'll refund you.

And if you want...

on a beautiful day...

we'll take you out to sea...

for free.

You are sensible...

I'll certainly come again.

Thank you.

Your generosity will sink us to the bottom.

If you don't want that elixir of youth.

We bought so many.

We can't use it.

We'll return the unopened jars.

Sure we can refund.

To be clear though...

when your came to the health class...

did someone force you?

No one did.

The lecturer said...

"If you don't like it you can go anytime"

Pr. Gao is a nice person.

He is a renown expert.

He can also lecture in English.

Enough Mom.

Stop talking.

Where does that 'elixir' come from?

Is it medically approved?

Refund...

we refund all.

Even the opened jars are refunded.

Elderly people have to know their health products.

These products sell like hot cakes.

And don't worry...

our suppliers are strictly controlled.

The quality is guaranteed.

I'm sure Pr. Gao told you.

Take them if you like...

return them if you don't.

This is about health, not about the money.

Alright then...

we took enough of your time.

If everyone is satisfied with the results...

please sign here.

Sure.

We need to talk after class.

I was grading the papers yesterday...

and I was shocked to see yours.

I couldn't trust my eyes.

You've always been good in English.

Why did you fail this exam?

What's the reason?

You can talk to me.

Well...

I'm sorry Mr. Shang...

I'll succeed next time.

Maybe you have difficulties.

What's the problem?

Tell me...

I will solve it with you.

Alright then...

be sure to do better next time.

Look at that...

she scored 62.

she's the best in English.

This time 30 points.

Ms. Ting's reaction is very strange.

What do you think?

I believe she's victim of oppression.

Oppression?

Isn't that word a bit heavy?

When I hear it, it sounds like...

a term to describe the lords of medieval societies.

In fact it is...

a match word for the English 'bullying'

Pronounced 'Bul-ly-ing' in English.

It is a process on the long term...

repeated humiliating experiences.

It can even cause psychological harm to the victim.

These western concepts...

do not suit well our Chinese schools.

Bullying is widespread in middle schools in the world.

The students are not mature enough.

When puberty...

Of course puberty is difficult for everyone.

The key is to channel their energy.

They can put it to good use in their studies.

You get it?
