Sweet Side of Love
Episode 32
I want all the customers to eat here.
I want to make them
have no possibility of a come back.
Mom.
Is there any problems with the shareholders?
If there is,
we don't need to reduce the price.
No.
As long as you have the confidence
to beat Chen Hao Feng,
I will support you in whatever you do.
It's fine now.
What's going on?
It's Li Yang.
He said that we are badmouthing his mom,
Do you want to go to the hospital for a check up?
No need.
Hao Feng.
Why didn't you tell Li Yang the truth?
That his mom
was behind everything?
Till now, you still
don't want to expose her true colours.
In future, how are you going to explain to Li Yang?
I believe that everything she did was to protect Li Yang.
Regardless of anything,
I'm not willing to sabotage their relationship.
But I'm afraid.
If Man Li
were to do something unethical again,
Sooner or later, you and Li Yang will not be able to coexist.
Wang Man Li is Li Yang's biological mother.
Even though her tactics are unethical,
but she wouldn't do anything to hurt Li Yang.
I'm not sure of what the grudge is.
Everything that's going on now
is like a thick cloud
separating us from Li Yang
If we want to clear this cloud,
we need to wait for dad to regain unconsciousness.
But if dad never regains from unconsciousness,
I guess only time could solve this.
During this time,
I don't wish to make it more difficult for Li Yang.
And deepen our misunderstanding.
Chen Hao Feng.
I just don't believe that
I can't beat you.
One serving of steamed dumplings.
Okay.
Would you like anything else?
I heard that the Chen Traditional restaurant is going to revert to its original state.
They seemed to be going back to do that whatever snacks.
The prices are even lower.
I'm not interested. Their dumpling soup taste has changed.
I still prefer to eat here.
Me too.
It should have been like this a long time ago.
Those three specialties really aren't friendly to the wallet.
So much better now.
Give us three bowls of dumpling soup.
Add another serving of the signature steamed dumplings.
That's right. That's all. Please wait for a while.
Here. Your dumplings are ready.
Thanks.
Maybe it was the argument we had yesterday
woke Li Yang up.
The original dumpling soup has come back to the Chen Traditional restaurant.
But in Li Yang's current condition
with the dumpling soup in his hands,
I wonder if it could be the same as before
provide customers with the happiness of sweet contentedness.
Mom. Look.
After going back to the original dumpling soup,
the business has improved a lot.
Offer both value menu and high price menu at the same time
gives the restaurant more financial protection.
Li Yang.
Whichever decisions you take,
I will always support you.
One month later.
Today,
we have invited Director Wang and Head Chef Chen here.
It's to discuss
the management scheme of the Chen Traditional restaurant.
What scheme?
It's to settle the company's insolvency crisis.
Insolvency crisis?
Mr Chan.
I don't understand what you are talking about.
According to 4th quarter accounting reports
Overall profitability has dramatically decreased
but our funding has been increasing continuously
Wang CEO, surely you know what this means
The restaurant just changed owners
some changes in profitability
is very common.
Common? What is common?
Director Wang.
What you said is too irresponsible.
A few months ago,
Did you forget your promise?
The more chain restaurants you open,
the more profit there will be.
Double the cost basis in three months.
Profit going straight up, by the end of the year,
it will be ready for stock market.
But what about now?
A bunch of chain restaurants,
loss, loss and more loss.
Forget about stocks,
I think,
we can't even recoup our investments. That's right.
Director Wang.
Our immediate problem now is
is that quite a number of the customers are saying that
the Chen Traditional restaurant's snacks
are not the same as before. That's right.
The Chen Traditional restaurant
It was personally handed to me from the last owner Chen Quan.
If you say that
we are not the original Chen Traditional restaurant,
then, who is
the authentic Chen Traditional restaurant?
It's that small food cart on the street.
What is its name?
Happy Times.
That's right.
Regarding that push cart,
our company has already made some investigations.
The current chef of the push cart
was the Chen Traditional head chef.
The netizens are all saying that
the snacks made by that push cart
are the authentic snacks of the Chen Traditional restaurant
As for us,
we are nothing but an empty shell with an old name.
I'm not the original chef of the Chen Traditional restaurant?
As the head chef,
I, Chen Li Yang can guarantee everyone that
the snacks of the Chen Traditional restaurant are the authentic ones.
The reason why our sales went down,
is because the common folks
can not afford the more expensive, royal desserts we have been offering.
But now,
we have already introduced the normal snacks.
With Chen's economically priced snacks,
Chen Traditional Restaurant's total revenue,
will soon go back soon to the way it was before.
As for that Happy Times push cart,
they will fold up and disappear soon.
When that time comes, the Chen Traditional restaurant
will monopolize the entire market.
I trust Li Yang.
Director Wang.
To us,
it's all good as long as we are making money.
Since Li Yang
has confidence in his own restaurant,
let's
believe in him one more time.
But I would like to give you both an advice.
If the restaurant continues this way,
sooner or later, we'll be pulling out our fundings.
That's right.
I hope you know what you are getting yourselves into.
Netizen's votes between the restaurant and food cart.Chen Traditional Restaurant
Subtitles brought to you by team Delicious Love@Viki
Happy Times (5 stars)
That's great.
I never thought that Yang Yang Yang
could convince him mom
to revert to doing the dumpling soup
and snacks.
The restaurant's business now
is improving.
But the netizens still say that
the dumpling soup at the Chen Traditional restaurant
still can't be compared to Happy Times.
At that time,
didn't we remake a new batch of stock?
We went through a lot to recreate it.
Could it be that Li Yang
didn't remember all the secrets of the recipe?
It would explain why the regular customers
think that the soup tasted different.
No. I already asked Yang Yang Yang.
He said that he went according to the recipe.
It should be the same.
Should I
write down the recipe for the dumpling soup again?
You can let him compare it
and see where the mistake is.
No, Sister Xiao Xia.
The restaurant and Happy Times
are going head to head right now.
If we give him the recipe now,
he will think that you don't trust him
or that you pity him.
I know him very well.
He won't accept it.

Brother Kwei.
So sorry
to call you out so early in the morning.
Sorry.
There was a traffic jam and I'm late.
Brother Kwei is a very busy man.
You are already giving me face. (respect)
No need to beat around the bush. What do you need?
It's like this.
My son
is the head chef of the Chen Traditional restaurant.
You already know that.
Recently, we opened a lot of chain restaurants,
got a lot going on...
So...
I'm having some difficult moving the funds around at the moment.
I'm in the middle of applying for a loan from the bank.
But that won't get here fast enough.
Brother Kwei.
if your money is convenient...
could you help me...bridge the gap?
Well... money isn't a problem.
but the interest...
Oh of course! We are friends! I won't let you get the short end of a stick.
Excellent! Director Wang is such an accommodating lady.
This month's revenue
has exceeded our goal.
I believe everyone can see
the hard work of our main chef, Chen Li Yang.
Following the contract,
the company will be disbursing some dividends to everyone.
Even though it's not much,
I hope it gives everyone a little confidence and anticipation.
Okay.
"Wonton in traditional stock""House Specialty Dumpling""Summer Sunshine"
This is yours.
This is yours. Thanks.
What do you think? Not bad is it?
It's really delicious.
A bowl of wonton soup, please. Okay.
Do your best.
What's wrong?
According to the internet ratings,
we are still half a star
behind Happy Times.
Mom.
it looks like
I still lost to Chen Hao Feng.
Internet ratings don't count.
Don't forget that Xiao Hui
is a food editor.
She probably knows
all the people who own these food related websites.
I bet she has ganged them up on you
to screw you over,
so you'll go down without a fight,
hand it to them on a silver platter.
Li Yang.
don't be tricked by them.
That's right. I haven't lost yet.
I definitely won't lose.
The competition hasn't ended yet.
Aunt Xiao Hui.
Yang Guang. I bought some groceries and will cook you something nice.
Yang Guang.
Why are you holding the wash basin?
I'm going to wash the clothes.
Aunt hasn't been feeling well lately.
I'm going to do more housework.
Yang Guang is such a good boy.
But do you know how to wash clothes?
Of course, I know.
Moreover, this detergent is gentle on the hands.
Aunt always use this
to wash my clothes till they are super clean.
Okay.
Let me wash the clothes.
Go and do your homework now.
But...
But what?
I guarantee that
I will wash the clothes till they are clean and bright just like the way aunt did them.
Okay. Thank you, Aunt Xiao Hui.
How did you do your market research?
How come the revenue has been
steadily dropping every month?!
Go and investigate the facts now.
Otherwise, get lost!
Useless garbage!
Mom. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
No. What's wrong with you?
Li Yang.
Mom is in debts for over RMB$1 billion.
Mom can only rely on you now.
Mom. How could you have owed so much?
The money we had to open the chain restaurants with...
were all loans from the bank.
I had thought...
we'd be able to get our basis back in three months.
But never did I think,
Chen Quan could be so sly.
The Chen Traditional restaurant's business
has not been profitable.
All the chain locations are losing money as well.
We had to have closed 2/3 of our chain locations
in order to keep up with our expenses.
But mom wasn't willing to do that,
and didn't want to disappoint you again.
Mom decided to gamble this once.
Mom asked a personal friend
to lend me some money.
Now, the date to return the money
is almost here.
But
mom doesn't have any money left.
Mom. Tell me
what I should do.
There is only one solution.
You and that Chen Hao Feng
should have a competition
and let everyone know that
we are the only authentic Chen Traditional restaurant.
Get our reputation back,
then mom will be able to collect funding again.
We may be able to make a comeback.
Please enjoy. This is yours.
Another bowl, please.
Hello.
Chen Hao Feng.
I would like to have a competition with you.
What?
I want to compete with you in a fair competition.
If I lose,
I will hand over the Chen Traditional restaurant to you
and leave with my mom.
If you lose,
you must give up the Happy Times food cart
and give up on making the Chen Traditional restaurant snacks.
No matter who wins or loses,
I hope all of our grudges will be written off after this competition.
And we'll just be strangers from then on.

Are you still thinking about tomorrow's competition?
Are you afraid of losing?
I'm not afraid of losing.
I'm worried about Li Yang.
Frankly, you didn't need to accept the competition.
This competition
is a good opportunity to showcase our Chen Family's cooking skills,
and spread the tradition and beliefs of our Chen Family restaurant.
It's also a good opportunity to let Li Yang grow up,
and let the Chen Family restaurant get back on track.
How could I just give it up?
I hope Li Yang
can understand your fervor.
I believe that you will succeed.
Hao Feng.
Today is the day you compete with Li Yang.
Have you prepared all your stuff?
It's almost done.
I'm going to reheat the stock in a second, then I'll bring it to the competition and I'll be done.
I will help you.
Hao Feng. Are you okay?
I'll notify the organizer
postpone the competition.No. No matter what,
I must go to the competition.
Mom. Let's go.
Mom. Don't worry.
At today's competition,
I will definitely win.
Chen Family Restaurant specialty items competition
With great anticipation,
Chen Family Restaurant specialty items competition
is about to start.
The contestants are
theChen Traditional restaurant's main chef,
Mr Chen Li Yang
and the previous main chef of the Chen Traditional restaurant,
and also at the same time, our internet-beloved,
Happy Times main chef,
Mr Chen Hao Feng.
Mr Chen Hao Feng,
your hand is injured?
It's alright.
Since our contestants
have no disagreements,
our competition
shall go on as planned.
Heaven has eyes.
Chen Hao Feng injured his hand before the competition.
Sister Xiao Xia.
Second Brother's hand is injured.
Will he be able to compete?
I believe in Hao Feng.
This is a "best of three" type of competition.
It's been half a year since our last meet.
It was called "Chen Family restaurant chefs competition".
Now "Chen Family Restaurant Specialty competition".
So much has happened to the restaurant,
that it almost ruined Chen Family restaurant's
reputation and influence in the world of fine cuisine.
Now, let's welcome this competition's organizer,
as well as the Director of the Chen Traditional restaurant,
Madam Wang Man Li
to explain to everyone
the reason behind this competition.
Mr Chen Li Yang and Mr Chen Hao Feng
are the new and old chefs of Chen Family restaurant.
Since forever ago,
they have been focusing on Chen Family restaurant's purpose,
which is to bring their customers the sweet satisfaction of fullness.
But they had a different understanding on this.
Thus, Mr Chen Hao Feng
left the Chen Traditional restaurant
and used the Chen Traditional restaurant's recipe
to open a food cart outside.
Called Happy Times.
Although, it obtained some positive comments,
but right here and right now,
I'm going to make it clear,
that there is only one Chen Traditional restaurant.
And the spirit of the Chen Traditional Restaurant
only has one definition.
I organized this competition,
so that everyone
can be a judge.
Who is the better chef,
Who can represent the spirit of the Chen Traditional restaurant?
So that customers can truly feel the sweet satisfaction of contentedness.
Okay.
This old witch.
How could she make crap up!
We'll be able to see the truth in no time.
You think the spirit of Chen Traditional Restaurant is whatever you say it is?
Also,
who was the one who used the Chen Traditional restaurant's recipes to do business?
Sister Xiao Xia.
When you set up Happy Times, you didn't even sell the dumpling soup.
All because you were considerate of them.
Now,
not only did they not see your kindness, they are accusing you on top of it!
And even said that you used the Chen Traditional restaurant's recipes to do business.
saying you stole their brand name.
Mr Chen Hao Feng and Mr Chen Li Yang
Chen Family's three specialty competition,
the second competition in our series,
starts now!

Do you see this?
The tickets are sold out for this event.
Also, the website that is following this event is generating a lot of traffic.
As long as we win the competition today.
The little cart business will be gone.
By then, all the media will put their attention on us.
Our Chen Traditional restaurant will monopolize the market,
and our chain restaurants will be steadily rising in profits.
There will be no reason to be afraid of making profits then.
A hundred year old traditional restaurant,
competing with a little push cart business.
Even if you win, there is nothing to be proud of.
This is all for show.
The only thing I care about
is the final profit figure of this restaurant.
I only need to prove that
my Chen Traditional restaurant is the authentic one.
Even if we sell our brand name,
all the shareholders
would still be able to get their money back plus interest.
But you must know that
if you lose this time...
I beleve in my son's capability.
He will never lose. Okay.
Li Yang.
The Chen Traditional restaurant and our future
are all lying on this competition.
If we lose,
you and I will be on the streets.
Today's competition is all depending on you.
Subtitles are brought to you by the Delicious Love Team@Viki
Li Yang, I hope from this competition,
you have learned the Chen Tradition Restaurant's spirit.
Both competitors, within the same time
same speed,
successfully completed the competition.
So who's the winner?
Let's invite the judges to taste them.
Okay.
Let's invite the judges to grade
and give the scores.
Let's see
who is the final winner of this competition.
It's not bad.
It's a tie. Another tie again.
History has repeated itself.
Who would have thought,
this specialty competition,
would be another tie.
Looks like for this last dish,
we are unable to determine the winner.
The third installment of the Chen Family competition
will be held in the near future.
Please anticipate for its coming.
Li Yang. You were great.
It's a tie for this competition
but the next competition,
we'll have to have a winner and a loser.
I promised my mom
and I've promised in front of my dad's tombstone.
I have to turn Chen Family restaurant
into the biggest chain restaurant in the nation.
Li Yang is becoming more and more like a real chef.
Since the competition is inevitable,
just be as prepared as you can.
Whether it's you win,
or if it's Hao Feng,
I will be happy for the both of you.
Xiao Xia.
If at this competition,
I'm the winner,
can you accept my love
and let me take care of you and Yang Guang?
Love can't be forced.
Our Chen Traditional restaurant's chef
was very busy at the competition yesterday.
Today, he has to work at Happy Times as usual.
I should give you a red flower as a prize.
Food is human's mean of survival.
even though our business is small,
but our responsibility was great.
Assistant Xiao Xia. You must take note of this.
I'm very strict.
Working next to such a strict chef,
I feel so pressured!
Hey, you are my personally assigned assistant,
can you be more professional,
and have less complaints?These few days without you,
I feel bored and lonely.
But I'm grateful for this loneliness.
It makes me more sure that my other half is not here
to complete me.
I'm not afraid that the world tomorrow...
What are you doing?
I wanted to try,
what if in future, when I can't see,
I hope that at the very least,
I could use my hands to remember you.
Who cares
how the outside word has changed.
We will still have our
little paradise.
When I have you in my heart,
my life becomes important and meaningful.
The incoming winds will not cause me to waver.
Even if the world
should ends,
We will still have our love without any regrets.
Without any regrets.
As long as you stretch your hands,
you will be able to touch me.
I will always be by your side
and will never leave you.
I will feel secure seeing your smiling face everyday.

Grandpa.
I really miss Uncle Li Yang of the past.
The past Uncle Li Yang
was always very cheerful
Eeryday, he was very happy.
But Uncle Li Yang now
looks very fierce.
His smile is also fake.
Grandpa.
Tell Uncle Li Yang to come back.
I believe that Uncle Li Yang
will go back to the way he was before.
Grandpa.
Uncle Li Yang listens to you the most.
Grandpa!
Grandpa! Grandpa!
Subtitles are brought to you by the Delicious Love Team@Viki
Yang Guang.
Uncle Chen is awake.
Grandpa. I have been telling you stories every day.
Did you hear them?
I heard them.
Yang Guang tells very interesting stories
and got Grandpa to wake up.
Grandpa.
In future, when I tell you stories every day,
can you not ignore me?
Okay.
Come on.
Let's pinky swear.
Stamp it!
Yang Guang.
Stop harassing grandpa.
Go and do your homework now.
Xiao Xia. It has been hard on you.
It's not that hard on me.
Now that you are conscious,
everything is fine.
Where is Li Yang?
How is Li Yang?
Dad.
Li Yang and aunt are living at Chen Restaurant.
Under aunt's orders,
they have remodeled the entire restaurant.
And they have gotten rid most of our value menu offerings.
They even stopped selling the dumpling soup.
They have been pushing the three specialty desserts instead.
I tried to wake up Li Yang,
make him understand the spirit behind Chen Restaurant,
I accepted Li Yang's challenge
and had a public showdown.
You are both brothers.
How could it turn out this way?
I guess I couldn't escape it after all.
Uncle Chen.
Li Yang only did that,
because of all the grudges in the past.
What happened between his mom and the Chen family?
Maybe if we clear the misunderstanding,
Li Yang and Hao Feng's grudge
will be cleared as well.
Xiao Xia.
It's okay. Dad just work up.
Let's discuss about this later.
What Xiao Xia said is right.
I should have given you
an explanation.
This grudge,
has crushed me
to the point
where I can't breathe.
Both brothers,
do you need any help?
I... just need a place to eat and sleep.
I don't need pay.
There are only the two of us here.
It's not very convenient.
Brother. I can take hardship.
I can cook and wash clothes.
As long as you are willing to take me in... Brother.
She is very pitiful.
Why don't we take her in?
Wang Man Li said
she escaped her arranged marriage.
She said she had nowhere to turn,
and wanted to come to our restaurant
to look for work.
She was a hardworker,
and very arduous.
but
I always felt like,
she had a questionable past.
So, I had been careful of her from the beginning.
But shortly after that,
she and your uncle Chen Gong,
had that kind of relationship between a man and a woman.
Behind my back,
they secretly wanted to get married.
Brother, I want to marry her.
just like that,
Wang Man Li was able to officially
stay with the Chen family.
Perhaps, it was because of me
never completely thought of her
as a member of the Chen family.
Our gap
increased.
Both brothers of the Chen family,
why you can be the chef
and he can't?
You know Chen Gong.
Your uncle
has asthma since he was little.
He was especially allergic to flour.
That's why he couldn't enter the kitchen
and do that work.
Because of my illness,
I can't enter the kitchen anymore.
Wang Man Li misunderstood that
and thinks I was trying to exclude them,
intentionally work against them.
Subsequently,
Wang Man Li brought up the subject of...
If you won't let Chen Gong
learn the three specialties of Chen Family,
as Chen Gong's wife,
I will learn on his behalf.
Definitely no.
Chen's family secrets
can be transferred only to the men, not the women.
And when she
had her eyes on the three specialties
of Chen Family,
I grew more suspicious.
Preview...
Director Wang. Bad news.
I don't know where the rumours came from,
saying we have a ton of debts.
All the shareholders asked to pull out.
Xiao Xia.Sister Xiao Xia.
The succcess rate of the surgery
is only 50 percent?
That's an optimistic
estimate.
The condition of the patient now is unstable.
Other than losing her vision,
I'm afraid of complications as well.
Hence, I would advise that the surgery be carried out as soon as possible.
