Guardian:
我们那里还有好几套性价比更高的房源。精装修周边设施齐全,拎包入住,我想应该更适合你。 We have several other apartments with better cost-performance, renovated, excellent nearby facilities, ready to move in, I think they would suit you better.
你不要呆头呆脑把自己都赔进去,我上次跟你说的那个周公子,你是不是要去见一见?don’t just follow him like an idiot, I told you last time about the Zhou boy, don’t you want to try meeting him?
你终于露出马脚了, you’ve finally let your secret out.

Isn't lǎobǎn basic Chinese for any c-drama watcher? :-)

I'm taking character notes while watching Spirealm and I wrote "Cui Zhengqin: video game laoban" XD (as in he's the laoban of the video game arcade, not as in he's the boss at the end of a game)

In my (very limited) experience they usually just say "BOSS" in that contextd. Loanwords, yay!

Yes, in the Guardian video game episode, Zhao Yunlan says "boss" out loud and the subtitles say 老板, I think :)
