This is a golden opportunity

for us to bid

for the Sydney to Bangkok routes...

which the British are also eyeing.

They will be our toughest competition...

And the fight will be fierce.

I'll be able to put a price...

on these routes within two weeks...

...but I feel that there is

significant potential in all of them.

Good.

Thank you Deputy Director Chu,

for that report.

Obviously,

this plan poses real opportunities...

...for the growth of our company...

The question is,

Do we have enough airplanes

to handle all these cities?

Be quiet. What do you know?

That kid. My son just graduated.

He'll get it slowly.

That's right. Our chief negotiator!

Everyone, please welcome Mr. Li Kai...

He was the one who single-handedly...

...fought to get us

our Amsterdam routes.

I'm very happy

to see him as a part of our team.

My apologies for being late...

my flight was delayed.

Always kidding.

We have a big battle to wage

I want to announce

that Li Kai is our general in charge.

We are to give him

the manpower and assistance he needs.

By following this order,

one observes the energy

of the chemical element rising...

Go home, study hard. Class dismissed.

Attention. Stand straight. Bow.

Thank you, Teacher.

What happened?

Coach dislocated his shoulder.

Dislocated?

My right shoulder always goes.

We need to rush him to the hospital!

They're getting Coach Chai.

What for?

What's up? Out again? Come on!

Thanks Coach!

It's as good as new.

C'mon, let's keep going!

That's it for today.

Everyone, break it up.

Teacher,

I'm bringing Shan-Shan her lunch box.

All right

I didn't have much time to make

you more than a few small dishes.

Spare Ribs, Crab with Vegetables,

Shrimp with Green Peas...

...Bean Sprouts and Sliced Chicken.

And your favorite,

Spare ribs Bitter Melon Soup.

It's not much,

because I was afraid you can't finish.

Come on, eat while it's hot.

Sorry!

Are you catching a bus?

Your shoulder? Can you ride...?

No problem.

Tomorrow, I'll spike the ball again.

Next week's the big tournament.

I haven't seen you before.

I'm the new volleyball coach.

I'm Chou Ming Dao.

Chu Jia-Chen.

Where do you live?

Heping E. Road.

That's a nice area!

It's an old house.

I would have given you a ride

if it were on the way.

The bus is convenient.

Well, I'm off.

Come and root for the team next week!

Why are you here?

Guess. I'm here for Rachel,

who will no doubt keep me waiting

for another hour again.

I doubt it!

How do you know?

She got off work an hour ago.

She said she was going home.

Try this. It tastes great.

The smell is making me sick.

You're just

feeling sorry for yourself?

No, I feel wonderful... Love is torture.
