Ge Ge.
You’re here.
Have a seat.
What’s up, Ge Ge?
Can’t I just ask you out?
Sorry.
I shouldn’t say that.
I might just be used to talking to you like that.
Sorry.
It’s fine, I don’t mind.
Do you like this place?
Uh... this place...
I’ve wanted to take you here for a long time.
I’ve always wanted to apologize
for not showing up to our last date.
It’s fine, it doesn’t matter.
But Ge Ge,
why didn’t you
come here with Ling Ling today?
Could we not talk about her?
Ge Ge, want to go ice skating?
Ice skating?
Or...
why don’t we go to karaoke?
I don’t like singing.
What should we do then?
Should we stay here?
Yu Ting,
after experiencing so many things,
I’ve found
you’re the person I’ve been looking for.
I like you.
What are you talking about, Ge Ge?
Ge Ge,
will you pinch me?
Huh?
I feel like I’m dreaming.
So would you please pinch me?
What kind of dream is this realistic?
Ge Ge,
why would you suddenly say something like this?
Is it sudden?
I don’t think it is at all.
That’s not what I meant. It’s just that...
I’m kind of confused.
Yu Ting.
Tell me.
Will you accept me?
Tell me!
I...
Dad,
does Grandpa want to see us urgently
because something happened?
I’m not sure either.
But from how he sounded on the phone,
it seems to be about something important.
Relax, we’re all family here.
Come in.
Dad.
Grandpa.
Have a seat.
I called you both here today
to tell you something.
You both know
I’ve lost my sense of taste.
This isn’t good for Hang Zhou Noodle.
It makes it so I must
quickly think about choosing a successor.
Many things have happened recently
that force me to think this way
and act with urgency.
Of course,
for the sake of Hang Zhou Noodle,
this person must have
good qualities.
By good qualities,
I don’t just mean being skilled,
it also includes that person’s character.
Zhang Jian,
on these two fronts,
you must
continue to try harder.
In addition,
in regards to who inherits Hang Zhou Noodle,
we’ve always
passed it onto the next son in our family, not outsider.
Rules bend and change to the circumstances,
but supposing we go against this tradition,
I’m afraid the future of Hang Zhou Noodle
will be overwritten.
Because of this,
I’ve decided
to make Zhang Jian Hang Zhou Noodle’s next successor.
Thank you, Grandpa.
Xiaojian.
It’s easy to accept this position,
but you need to realize the weight on your shoulders.
Your burden will be much greater than before.
The future of Hang Zhou Noodle
has a long, difficult road ahead of it.
You must prepare yourself.
Don’t worry, Grandpa,
I won’t let you down.
I’ll cherish the position of successor.
Xiaojian,
if you don’t do a good job
we won’t go along with you.
You hear me?
I have one more thing to say, Xiaojian.
In your future work,
you must learn from the people you’ve worked with in the past.
It’s hard to find fault with his character.
He is not less skilled than you.
You must emulate him.
You know who I’m talking about, don’t you?
Grandpa.
Are you talking about Jiang Xiu Can?
That’s right.
I understand, Grandpa.
Xiaojian,
your grandpa’s right.
Jiang Xiu Can is a young person that I admire.
He treats his work and life
with unfaltering positivity.
Let go of your prejudices.
Learn from him and those experiences.
He has so many good qualities.
Grandpa, Dad,
today is a very important day to me.
Not only is my position changing,
I also feel the increase in my responsibilities.
I will absolutely do my best
to climb this new summit
for the sake of Hang Zhou Noodle.
Phone: Xu Yu Ting
Hello?
Teng Yuan Hao!
You’re still awake?
I haven’t slept a wink.
I feel kind of bored.
How... how’s that possible?
You must’ve...
had a lot of fun today.
That’s exactly what I want to talk about.
Go ahead.
I haven’t told anyone else about this.
You have to help me keep it a secret.
I won’t tell anyone else.
Go ahead.
Today Ge Ge invited me to a café.
And?
Ge Ge suddenly looked at me very seriously
and said something very important.
What was it?
Hello?
Hey, keep talking.
Ge Ge
confessed to me.
Confessed? Confessed what?
What other kind of confession is there?
He said he likes me!
What?
Hello?
Are you there? Why aren’t you talking?
Aren’t you going to congratulate me?
Congratulations.
Your hard work’s finally paid off.
You finally got
Zhang Jian’s love.
Hey,
why does your voice sound different?
Do you feel sick?
It’s nothing.
I’m kind of busy.
Let’s leave it at that.
Hey—
That punk.
Why did he hang up me?
Seriously...
So annoying.
But... is he really sick?
Yu Ting...
Xiaojian.
Congratulations.
You’re officially Hang Zhou Noodle’s successor.
You’re getting ahead of yourself.
No matter how you put it,
it’s a step towards victory.
Your dad and grandpa
still trust us.
We didn’t suffer
for naught.
But...
Jiang Xiu Can’s still at the noodle shop.
That is worrisome.
You should slowly start to push him out.
I’ll take care of him.
By the way,
your grandpa didn’t tell you the special soup recipe.
Not yet.
But he said he’ll tell me himself
when the time arrives.
That old man always keeps people on their toes.
Alright, let him do what he wants.
No matter what,
we’ll be sleeping well at night.
Don’t drink too much.
Grandpa looks so tired.
So many things have happened to the noodle shop.
It’s hard on an old man.
Grandpa.
Xiu Can!
You’re here.
Are you feeling all right?
Yes.
But compared to before,
I’m a little tiny bit worse.
By the way,
I talked to Zhang Jian yesterday.
To Zhang Jian?
I made Zhang Jian
the noodle shop’s successor.
I made Zhang Jian
the noodle shop’s successor.
That must’ve made him happy.
Didn’t it?
Yeah.
He is very happy.
But you don’t look happy at all, Grandpa.
I do?
I’m happy.
Very happy.
What about you?
Of course I’m happy too.
Think about it.
As his little brother, I—
Little brother?
It’s like you said before, Grandpa.
Something about acting like true brothers.
To tell the truth, from that moment on,
Zhang Jian and I were like true brothers.
Since Zhang Jian’s more mature than me,
he’s the older brother,
which would make me the little brother.
That makes us siblings.
He’s the older brother.
And me?
Of course I’m his little brother.
Right?
Is that so?
It’s rare that
you remember what I’ve said.
Are you really happy for Zhang Jian?
Of course I am.
I really am happy for him.
By the way,
suppose
this is Zhang Jian.
He’s flour.
And what am I?
I’m water.
Only when we’re put together
can we become a delicious delicacy.
What an interesting metaphor.
Like this,
we are the heart of Hang Zhou Noodle.
That’s all you need to say.
I know.
I know what’s been worrying you all this time.
But
I have no complaints against Zhang Jian.
I just hope Zhang Jian and I
can protect your treasured noodle shop together.
That’s enough for me.
That
reassures me entirely.
Here, let’s make noodles together.
Okay?
You must still not know, Grandpa.
I practiced a ton while you were hospitalized.
Let’s go a round.
You and me? Compete?
I accept, come on.
Alright, one half for each.
Come on.
Our meeting today
is to discuss
Hang Zhou Noodle franchising.
Please, everyone, give your opinion.
Everyone, think it over.
But first I want to say that
the franchise
is still in its planning stages; don’t leak the secret.
In particular, do not let Teng Shi Noodle
know about our intentions.
Chairman,
does Grandpa know about this matter?
Right now it’s only in its beginning stages.
Grandpa’s health isn’t good,
so we must refrain from disturbing him.
Wait until the plan matures.
It won’t be too late to inform him then.
I don’t think
Grandpa will agree to franchising.
Franchising
is a very advanced way to do business.
Yet all around the world,
there are success stories.
Businesses like Hang Zhou Noodle that operate in a traditional fashion
are already out of touch with modern society.
If we don’t change completely,
shall we just sit back and wait for our demise?
I personally think
we shouldn’t treat businesses that operate traditionally the same as other ones.
Everyone from Hang Zhou knows
how special Hang Zhou Noodle is,
and how we have our own secret recipe.
Everyone who comes to Hang Zhou Noodle
hopes to have a taste of this special flavor.
If we were to lose this special flavor,
it’s only a matter of time until we lose our secret recipe.
Then we won’t be Hang Zhou Noodle anymore.
Speaking of the secret recipe...
Zhu Ling Ling,
you have the least right to talk about it.
Every old employee here knows
that your father was once Grandpa’s favorite apprentice.
In the end,
he stole and sold Hang Zhou Noodle’s secret recipe
to someone else.
He betrayed Hang Zhou Noodle.
The “secret recipe” you’re talking about...
is it even a secret anymore?
Run Mei.
I’m just telling it as it is, don’t interrupt.
Ling Ling, Run Mei is just talking randomly.
Don’t take it to heart.
If you have any other questions, you can go ahead and ask everyone here.
Everyone will answer.
Go ahead, ask.
Go on.
I don’t think Zhu Ling Ling
will be able to show her face in the noodle shop after today,
not to mention in front of everyone.
Soon you’ll see.
This will result in
Zhu Ling Ling handing in her resignation.
Aren’t you being too harsh?
Nothing I can do about that.
This is what you have to do to protect your position.
A few days have passed,
but Jiang Xiu Can still hasn’t mentioned anything about leaving.
But neither has he
revealed your true identity to your dad.
This proves
he cares about you.
Tell me,
will he care even more
if you encounter danger?
What do you mean?
Don’t be afraid.
You’re my son, I wouldn’t hurt you.
I think...
we should give Jiang Xiu Can a fright.
Mom.
I want to ask you something.
What is it?
First promise me
you’ll tell me the truth.
What’s wrong?
Mom.
Tell me.
Did Dad steal Hang Zhou Noodle’s secret recipe?
Why would you ask that?
Tell me!
Come here, Ling Ling.
Mom.
Okay.
If you feel you must know,
I won’t hide it from you.
That year, your dad
did steal Hang Zhou Noodle’s secret recipe
in a moment of insanity.
Mom...
That year, your dad
did steal Hang Zhou Noodle’s secret recipe
in a moment of insanity.
Mom...
You mean
Vice-Chairwoman Wu called my dad a traitor
and it’s... it’s true?
No, your dad’s not a traitor.
He’s like you.
He was the support beam of Hang Zhou Noodle.
It’s impossible!
No one disliked his noodles.
It’s true.
Grandpa liked your dad too.
Plus, at that time
the Chairman didn’t like making noodles.
Grandpa passed on the secret recipe to your dad.
It was so unexpected...
At that time, people wanted to take advantage of
our family going through rough times.
They bought off your dad for a high price
in order to get the secret recipe.
At that time,
my sickness had gotten worse.
He had no other choice.
He made a deal with someone.
Nobody expected him to get hurt on his way home.
Ling Ling,
in a person’s lifetime
there are a lot of things you shouldn’t do wrong.
Thinking back on it now,
what your dad did that year
was in fact wrong.
But he was someone with responsibilities.
I think you’ll be like him too
and face what happened head on.
It’s been such a long time.
Besides, it’s not like you’re the one who did that.
Please don’t let this
affect your relationship with Xiu Can.
I really do like
that kid.
Don’t worry, Mom.
I’ll go make dinner.
I’ll get you when it’s done.
Mom!
Calm down.
Hello? Xiu Can.
Is this the world’s prettiest princess Ling Ling?
What’s up? You need something?
It’s nothing.
Are you on your way over?
Of course.
I’m heading your way.
Tell me if you want me to pick something up.
I’ll buy it on the way.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
What’s up?
Think of something that fast?
Well? What is it?
Zhang Jian.
Xiu Can.
Is Ling Ling beside you?
Zhang Jian.
W-what are you talking about?
Look at how happy you are,
always having Ling Ling by your side.
Ling Ling’s a good person.
Treat her well.
You must cherish her.
Understand, Jiang Xiu Can?
What’s wrong?
Hello?
Xiu Can.
Hu Shui.
I really want to see you.
I want to see you right now.
I don’t want to live.
Hey, what do you mean by that?
Hello? Zhang Jian!
Zhang Jian. Zhang Jian.
What’s going on?
He’s still not here...
Hello? Zhang Jian, why did you hang up?
Calm down, will you?
Zhang Jian.
Tell me.
Where are you?
I’ll be right there, okay?
Tell me where you are.
Guang Mao Building?
Okay.
Alright, wait for me.
I’ll be right there.
Alright, wait for me!
Hello?
Sir, go to Guang Mao Building.
What?
Ling Ling.
Why aren’t you here yet?
Everything okay?
Right now,
I have to go to Guang Mao Building.
Zhang Jian told me...
He’s drunk and
he told me he doesn’t want to live.
I’m on my way over to him.
Then you...
Why are you going to Guang Mao Building?
He said he’s on the roof.
Never mind.
I can’t talk to you right now.
I’ll call you again in a bit.
That’s that. Wait for me to call.
I—
Zhang Jian!
What are you doing, Zhang Jian?
Stay there!
Don’t come over.
W-what’s going on?
I can’t keep on living!
Everyday I’m full of dread.
As soon as I open my eyes,
the anxiety hits.
I’m scared the truth about me will be revealed.
After Grandpa and Dad learn the truth,
I’ll be kicked out!
I’ll lose the people I love.
I’ll lose everything.
I’ll have nothing!
Do you understand?
I understand, I know all this.
I’m your little brother.
No one will be able to hurt you.
Don’t worry, Hu Zhen.
It’s true.
Please, I’m begging you to calm down.
Don’t be rash.
Calm down, don’t do anything stupid.
I can’t take it.
Rather than living in this kind of pain,
wouldn’t dying solve everything?
I’ll put an end to all this torment.
Why would you say something so stupid!?
Haven’t you lived well all this time?
Didn’t I promise you?
Trust me.
I won’t say anything!
I absolutely...
I absolutely swear on it.
Shut your mouth!
Stop putting on an act.
You’re a hypocrite.
Isn’t that what you want?
For my past to be revealed!?
It’s not.
That’s not what I want, Zhang Jian.
I just want you to be happy.
I want my family to be happy.
I don’t want anything for myself, Zhang Jian!
I just want you to be happy!
Calm down, don’t do anything stupid!
I’m begging you, Zhang Jian!
I’m begging you!
Please don’t do anything stupid.
Zhang Jian.
I’m begging you.
Happy?
Happy!
How can I be happy now?
My past is like a ticking time bomb.
It could explode at any time
and destroy everything I have.
But I can’t blame you for anything.
All of these things belong to you after all.
If this is what you want,
I’ll return them to you.
Don’t! Don’t jump!
Please! Please don’t jump!
Zhang Jian, I’m begging you!
I’m begging you!
I’m begging you! Don’t jump!
Don’t jump! Please, do not jump!
Zhang Jian! Don’t jump!
I promise you!
I’ll leave!
I’m begging you! Don’t jump!
I promise I’ll leave this place!
I’ll go!
I’m begging you! Don’t jump!
I’m begging you!
You can’t die, Zhang Jian!
You can’t die!
Don’t jump! I promise you!
I’ll leave!
It’s all my fault!
I know it’s all my fault!
I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
I didn’t know how much pain you’re in!
I’m sorry! I’m begging you!
Don’t jump!
I’m begging you, Zhang Jian!
I’m begging you! Don’t jump!
I’m begging you!
I’m begging you...
You can’t die.
Your precious son
has become Hang Zhou Noodle’s successor.
I give you my congratulations.
Thank you.
So... has the precious secret recipe
also been passed into his hands?
Not yet.
He’s just a figurehead without it.
You can’t be that happy, huh?
With that figurehead title,
it’s only a matter of time
before the secret recipe is passed onto Xiaojian.
You Chinese have a saying
that goes, “Time is money,
efficiency is life.”
I hope your grasp of time is good,
that you’re efficient, Mrs Zhang,
and can quickly obtain that secret recipe.
That would be very good for our agreement.
Don’t worry.
Grandpa will quickly
pass on that recipe to my son.
Because his sense of taste has...
What about his sense of taste?
Don’t tell me there’s something wrong with it?
This news is music to my ears.
Mr Teng Yuan.
It’s late.
I must take my leave.
If anything happens,
let’s stay in touch.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Hello?
It’s me.
Something’s happened to Zhang Gao Xiu’s sense of taste.
Tell this to the reporters.
Right, throw a wrench into their group of supporters.
Paper: Founder of Hang Zhou Noodle’s Sense of Taste is Out of Service
Who leaked this?
This proves there are people who have it out for our noodle shop.
How outrageous.
How many people know about
my sense of taste disappearing?
This—
Wasn’t it leaked intentionally?
Dad.
Do you think
that person is a spy for Teng Shi Noodle?
You’re here too, Dad.
Take a look for yourself.
The newspapers have reported on Dad’s sense of taste.
It’s been leaked out.
Then...
This news...
If it’s not authenticated,
won’t it have an effect on our business?
This isn’t good.
We have to investigate thoroughly.
How I see it,
it was done by someone from the inside
who wants to stir up trouble.
Leave this up to me.
Dad,
I’ll reveal who did this.
You can investigate.
Don’t be too obvious.
Bad news spreads farther than good news.
Because of this situation,
we must ensure Hang Zhou Noodle
produces top-notch quality food everyday.
Make everyone feel that every bowl of noodles we produce
is of the best quality.
Even if my old tongue has fallen,
how is that worth talking about?
Dad, you’re absolutely correct.
I’ll get to the bottom of this.
During this time,
we absolutely cannot get anymore surprises.
What’s wrong, Dad?
Let me ask you.
Does Run Mei
know about what happened to my sense of taste?
She knows.
Dad,
it’s unlikely Run Mei leaked this.
Never mind.
I was just asking.
Ge Ge.
These are for you.
Thanks.
Let’s go.
The movie’s about to start.
Let’s head inside.
Okay.
Let’s eat after the movie.
I’ve made reservations.
Why don’t you have much to say today?
Um...
Is something bothering you?
Did something happen between you and Ling Ling?
Do you really want to know why Ling Ling and I broke up?
Okay.
It’s because we didn’t work.
What do you mean?
People being together requires a bit of luck.
If that luck runs out,
you have to think whether it’s worth saving.
If all you want is to be together,
that will only hurt the other person more.
