About the present of old age and hard work

Before I watched the film, from the title and poster alone, I could roughly outline a story about a fledgling newcomer in the workplace who met a life mentor and became a successful person.
It turns out that I didn't see through the director and screenwriter. This is a story about an elderly intern and a young female boss. As for what the story is, I'm sorry I can't generalize it.
The film begins with Ben's self-report. Ben's self-report is like most elderly people, the loneliness of not wanting to trouble their children after leaving with his wife, and the helplessness that he is getting old and life is very boring. I have never been resistant to the topic of aging, and I am both sympathetic and looking forward to Ben. I thought, maybe he'd go through something with the heroine of the film, and then his old age would be sublimated.
Jules, a young entrepreneur who devotes 20 hours of his day to his work. Her love of work has propelled her company, and her career has grown so fast that her colleagues think she's not up to her current job, and her colleagues suggest that she find a CEO who can help her. (In fact, because of my vision, I don't quite understand the CEO's position, but I can understand from the description of the film that this CEO will be Jules' boss.)
Jules is unwilling to Yes, she doesn't want to hand over her hard work to anyone else, but she really can't handle the current company's huge business, not to mention her husband and daughter.
Ben became Jules' intern. The process of the two from being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming old friends does not need to be repeated. The process is very exciting and interesting. But the last part of the film left me feeling lost.
At the end of the film, Jules forgives his cheating husband, decides not to hire a CEO, and then starts Tai Chi with Ben. "? ? ? ? Black question mark face? ? ? ? ' So nothing changed at all except Jules and Ben became good friends, whereas Instinct was good friends with anyone if he wanted to.
Jules doesn't address the relationship between work and family. She still needs to spend a lot of time and energy on work, she still can't participate in her daughter's social activities, and her husband will inevitably get lost the second time he cheats. Jules said something: "We're going to get through this." (That's what she said when she hugged her husband, maybe that's what she meant, I don't remember the exact words) or maybe implied Since she will help her with some things, she will be more free, not as busy as before? ? ? But Ben's life has changed a lot, with more girlfriends, more roommates, and more fans. At least there is no loneliness and helplessness before.
To sum up, my film is unfinished, probably the director and the screenwriter do not know how to deal with the biggest contradiction in this film.

The Intern quotes

  • Ben: "You're never wrong to do the right thing."

    Jules: Who said that, you?

    Ben: Yeah. But I'm pretty sure Mark Twain said it first.

  • Jules: Nobody calls men "men" anymore. Have you noticed? Women went from "girls" to "women."Men went from "men" to "boys?" This is a problem in the big picture. Do you know what I mean?
