Do you still need to work on Sundays?
I'm sorry that I had to cancel our lunch.
- Let's pick another day. - Bye.
I've already talked to Mr. Ji.
Rather than competing with one another, we should collaborate instead.
We're going to host a Find Your Next Love matchmaking event.
Miss Guan, you're responsible for picking the venue.
My goodness, it's so beautiful here.
Remember what you promised me?
You said you'll use one year to forget about your past.
If you want to keep yourself busy, you can take over my business.
You can choose between taking over my business or a new relationship.
What are you doing?
Come here.
How come it feels as if my heart had just skipped a beat?
Take this back.
Hello, Xiang Zi Yan.
Tomorrow night? Sure, I can make it.
What do you want?

Episode 5
You don't cook very often, do you?
I don't usually get a chance to cook.
Our company is organizing a matchmaking camping trip up in the mountain.
I was planning on bringing ten dozen packs of instant noodles there.
Ten dozen packs?
You don't have to.
Don't you realize you have a qualified chef standing next to you right now?
If you don't mind, you're welcome to take him with you.
Really?
If there's going to be an assistant
then that will be even better.
Add some white wine.
Smells great.
Why don't you go and wait for dinner to be served?
I can take over from here.
Are you sure?
This is meant to be my treat.
Of course I should do the cooking.
Don't worry, I've already memorized the steps that you told me.
Dinner will be served by Chef Guan very soon.
Go on.
All right, then I'll leave it to you.
Good luck.
It's still not too late to regret this.
- It's actually quite nice. - Really?
Let me try it.
It tastes terrible.
How could you say it's nice?
You know what?
Sometimes it's not the food's taste
that makes people think it's delicious.
The chef's dedication also plays a part in it.
When I saw how much effort you've put into your cooking
I knew that this dish will definitely taste better than my cooking.
Judging from the passion in your eyes when you talk about cooking
I'm sure you'll open a restaurant
that is as lovely as this one in future.
And I'll be going there a lot.
Actually...
I...
already have a restaurant that's as lovely as this one.
Just like this one?
You mean
you're the boss of this restaurant?
Why didn't you tell me before?
How embarrassing.
Because I never found the chance to tell you.
I guess so.
So were you the one who took all these photographs
and put them around the restaurant?
I'm not a professional photographer
so I'm not an expert.
But to me, photography is just as important as cooking.
Look at the photo behind you.
It's my favorite piece of work.
Its name is 'First.'
'First' as in first love.
Its meaning is simple.
It's because the girl in the photo
was the beginning of my photography journey.
In this world
every second of every minute is forever changing.
But because of her
I realized that photos can truly capture every touching moment.
The moment that I press the shutter
I feel as if that moment belongs to only me.
But it's kind of strange because I don't actually know her.
But...
in my heart
she has become someone very important.
Thanks for dinner.
- You sure you don't want a lift? - It's okay, it's still early now.
I can go home myself.
All right, take care on your way home.
- Okay. - Bye.
Bye.
When someone offered to provide a free venue for our Hot Pick event
I thought you did it for your mom.
But I never thought
that it wasn't that simple.
Mommy.
Here you go.
I've already filled up your gas tank.
Will you let me fill up your gas from now on.
Your car only takes 95 gas, not gas 98.
What's the difference?
Also, 98 sounds newer and better.
Of course not, you'll damage your engine.
Really?
Oh yeah, I've already paid your bills and credit card statement.
I've also downloaded your favorite apps into your new phone.
Listen.
I wonder if my electronics killer mother can do me a favor.
What?
Can you stop changing your cellphones?
It's great to have you in my life, my son.
Look at all these petty little things that go on everyday.
How am I supposed to remember them all?
That's why you're the best.
Of course I have to look after you.
But I don't think I'm the only one you're being nice to now.
I think you're also being nice to somebody else.
I think I can smell a scent of spring in the air.
What scent of spring?
Xiao Tong is one of my staff.
Would you like me to speed things up a little?
Mommy.
Didn't you know we used to stay away from our teacher's child back in school?
I'll deal with this myself.
Make sure you don't tell her that you're my mother.
Otherwise, she'll get embarrassed.
It's the spring of your youth.
You should water this world with love.
Did you know how long was it since your mother was last watered?
- The spring of... - All right, be good.
Please put them on the shelf for me.
- Which shelf? - The third shelf on the left.
Third... I know.
For our Next Stop Is Happier event
I'd like to leave more time for members to get to know one another
and talk to each other.
So I've organized a few activities
such as our love tour, outdoor BBQ, free time, and night maze.
These are all opportunities for them to interact with one another
and get to know each other.
After looking at a few venues
we've decided to drive our bus
straight into the camping area
where we'll be hosting our overnight matchmaking event.
Our agency will be responsible for making
the necessary contacts for this event.
Xi Men, Shao Qiang, I'll leave it with you.
Divorcees are more concerned about getting hurt than singles do.
So they're much more careful.
They'll also be more particular with their requests.
You'll have to put extra efforts into our pre-event interviews.
Having said that, divorcees are more emotionally mature.
Since they're willing to participate in our event
that means they still believe in love
and are looking forward to their next relationship.
So designing activities that will help open up their hearts
will be the key point of our event.
[Love Bus]
Welcome aboard.
Have fun.
Let's see, we're still waiting for two people.
Boss, I've already arranged a seat for you.
Please come on board.
Boss, the weather is really...
What are you doing?
It's too crowded for two guys to sit together.
- Go away. - It's not that crowded.
No, go sit with Xi Men at the back, go.
Shao Qiang, sit here.
Thank you all for coming to our overnight matchmaking event
co-hosted by I Meet You and Renew.
This is a great opportunity for you to go out there and find your soulmate.
You can enjoy nature as well as the atmosphere of love
that we've created for you.
If you have any questions
you're very welcome to ask any of our staff.
Thank you.
Wang Xi Men, Simon?
Xi Men, Simon?
Since you already know I work across the road from you
why did you pretend that you didn't know?
All right, please get off the bus and come with us.
Come on, please come this way.
This way.
Aren't you going to go?
Xiao Tong.
What is he doing here?
Him?
I asked him to come and prepare our dinner tonight.
Otherwise, what would we eat?
Why didn't I know about it?
You didn't?
But I told Xi Men.
Didn't he tell you?
Here are your numbers.
Make sure you stick it on, and don't lose it.
Hi.
Hot Pick?
You're coming to the event, too?
I'm not just their Hot Pick.
I only went to their event last time because she'd begged me.
I wonder if that person still remembers.
He's the CEO of the agency that's co-hosting this event with us.
He's Ji Jia Wei.
Hello.
He's...
The cook, right? I knew that.
Nice to meet you.
He's a bit of a weirdo.
Just ignore him.
Put it down there first, I'll get the rest of the food.
Okay.
- Are you okay with that? - Yeah.
- You can take care of that side. - Okay, not a problem.
Here, smile.
Boss, you actually got your tent up in, like, one second.
Bro, why didn't you bring us one of these cool tents?
Exactly.
Weren't you guys at the meeting yesterday?
You should have been well-prepared a long time ago.
- Boss, we better get back to work. - We have to go.
Off you go.
You can have it.
Our Next Stop Is Happier event will now officially begin.
We are going to hand out today's schedule.
The guests of this event today were carefully selected by us
from a huge pool of members.
This way, you won't have to look anywhere else
for your next true love.
Because your true love is sitting right next to you now.
That's right, in addition, our specially designed activities
will definitely bring you the joy of first love.
As well as make your heart race.
All right, up you go, let's start with our first activity.
Please come with me.
Don't you think the scenery is especially beautiful today?
Yeah...
Ahead of us is our Love Tour.
I never knew that you can wash off insecticides with potato starch.
Apart from cooking delicious food a chef must also safeguard his guests' health.
Your guests are so lucky.
Where has everyone gone?
I thought we're having...
They should keep this place clean and tidy.
Especially when it comes to food.
Not only is the table so messy but there're also fallen leaves.
What if our members get food poisoning?
I must keep an eye on them.
Did they finish our event introduction?
What are you doing here?
I thought I'd come and see if you guys need a hand.
But...
looks like you can do without me.
Don't stand around here if you're not going to help.
Here you go.
What are you looking for?
I can't find the bay leaves that I left on the table.
Bay leaves?
Can you still finish your dish without them?
The taste will definitely be different.
Don't worry, I'll see if I can find another substitute.
- It may even give it a different taste. - Really?
- Then I'll go with you. - Okay.
Hey.
- You can't go, stay here. - Why?
Why?
You're here to work, not to tour around.
Also, how many people does it take to find a few leaves?
If you need someone to help you
I can get a few staff to go with you.
That's okay, I can go alone.
Xiao Tong, can you cut up the vegetables for me?
Remember what I taught you that night?
- Watch your fingers. - Okay.
- Take care. - Okay.
Like what he taught you the other night?
Watch your fingers?
Don't stand there making fun of me
if you're not here to help.
It can't be that hard to cut up vegetables.
You think it's easy?
Why don't you do it?
Come on.
Let's see how good you are.
You're actually not bad.
Why would I need to tell you that I'm a good cook?
I wouldn't have believed you if I had not seen it with my own eyes.
Since you're so good, I'll leave it to you.
I'm going to wash the vegetables.
Hey.
I...
Can you get me a hair band from the table over there?
My hair keeps getting in the way.
Thanks.
- It's over there. - Okay.
Don't move.
I can't tie it up if you keep moving around.
Thank you.
Okay, three, two, one.
Okay, now let's match up with your assigned partners.
- Come on, get into your groups. - Hurry, go.
Okay, now that you've found your partners
let's begin our next activity.
Night maze.
If you can remember these colored routes, just follow our LED lighting
and you'll be able to find the way out.
You can split the colors up between your team members.
Now give me your cellphones.
Thank you, have fun.
Keep smiling.
Excuse me, please give me your phones.
Our phones?
But we're going in there to keep an eye on them.
I'm sorry, as the guard, rules are rules.
Please don't make it difficult for me.
Come on.
Hey.
Why are you here anyway?
Shouldn't it be Shao Qiang?
Him? He said only single people are allowed to go into this maze.
Forget it, you better go inside.
They must be way ahead of you already.
Have fun, bye.
Red, green, green.
Red, blue, red.
Let's go this way.
You've got a good memory.
I'm not bad.
What are you doing?
Don't get too close.
Give them some space.
Okay.
It's all your fault, I forgot what color I was up to.
Red, red, green, green, red...
Let's go this way.
Red, red, green, green, red, blue, red...
Red, red...
Red, red, green, green, red, blue, red...
Yellow, blue, red, green, blue, white, blue, white, red...
So which way should we go?
Just wait.
I forgot, let me think.
Red, red, green, green, red, blue, red.
Yellow, blue, red, green, blue, white...
blue, white... white, blue, green.
Red, blue, red, green, white, blue...
Tell me.
Is it yellow, blue, red, green, white, blue, white?
Or is it white, blue, red, white, blue, green?
- Which one? - I don't know.
I didn't memorize it at all.
Hang on, why did I have to memorize it?
This game is meant to let our members interact with each other.
But we're not here to matchmake, are we?
There's no use asking you, I'll check my phone.
But my phone got confiscated.
[Murphy's Law Number Seven]
[What's most needed at a critical moment is always missing.]
Forget it.
I'm sure Xi Men will look for us if he doesn't see us going out.
Let's just wait here.
What is that noise?
I think we should try and find our way out
rather than waiting for them here.
What if we see a snake like last time?
Let's try and figure out which way we should go.
So what would a 4G man do in a situation like this?
4G man?
A 4G man wouldn't wait for a girl to ask him for help
and he also wouldn't take credit for what he's done for her.
What is it?
It's so scary.
Get us out of here quickly.
Stop pulling on my sleeve.
You can hold on to my hand instead.
Let's go.
That's weird, everyone is already out.
What is taking Jia Wei so long?
Maybe they got lost.
No, but Guan Xiao Tong has a great memory.
How could they have gotten lost?
What's wrong?
Xiao Tong still hasn't come out from the maze.
Let me go and find her.
Xiao Tong.
Looks like number two's Mr. Chen has all the qualities that you're looking for.
I guess you also want to get to know more about him, right?
We'll let you know what Mr. Chen thinks about you as soon as possible
so hopefully you can take things further with him.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
This way please, Miss Zhang.
- Mr. Chen, please come this way. - Okay.
- Hello, Mr. Chen. - Hello.
Congratulations.
Number nine's Miss Zhang has given you the highest score.
Looks like you two have really good impressions of each other.
After having spent some time with her today
I realized that she is a wonderful lady.
But since I'm a divorced man
do you think she would mind?
Based on my conversation with her just then
I think she likes you a lot.
So I don't think that should be a problem.
Actually, it's also taken me a long time to have the courage to take this step.
I understand your concern.
But everyone who is participating in this event
has somehow been hurt in their past relationships before.
But you're still willing to believe in love.
So if you meet someone you're interested in
you should really try to make the most of the opportunity, okay?
The psychological analyzes that you've filled in also made a good match.
The possibility for a successful marriage is as high as seventy percent.
So you shouldn't worry.
Thanks for your encouragement.
Good luck, don't worry about it too much.
Just think about how you're going to make yourself happier.
Thank you.
Everyone, let's celebrate today's success
and celebrate tomorrow's happy ending in advance.
- Cheers! -Cheers...
You're quite a drinker.
I'd like to propose a toast
to our amazing chef, Zi Yan.
I'd like to thank him for his efforts in helping out at our event.
He even prepared icy cold beer for our celebration party.
If it wasn't for him today I don't think things could have gone so smoothly.
Don't say that, your activities played the most important part.
Food was just a secondary thing.
Exactly.
You know what?
On our original proposal
we were going to have instant noodles for lunch.
Instant noodles!
What a joke.
That's why I felt so embarrassed.
When I asked you to come and help us
I really didn't know you're actually the boss of Fooshion.
It must be so busy and tiring to run a restaurant, right?
I never thought you'd agree to help us.
So thank you for all that you've done for us.
- Cheers. - Wait.
What is it now?
Boss.
You're so thoughtful.
Champagne's much more suitable for a party than beer.
It's Krug champagne.
There's no right or wrong in a relationship.
Xiao Tong, don't say that.
Just like this bottle of high-class French Krug champagne.
It'll only taste nice if it's drank from a handmade crystal glass.
It'll never go with an ordinary water glass like me, right?
Here you go.
- Champagne. - Thanks, Boss.
- Here. - Thanks.
Take one.
No, thanks.
Just take it.
Are we drinking it with a paper cup?
If it's a good champagne
no matter what cup you use, it'll still taste good.
Why would anyone want to sleep so early
when it's so beautiful at night here?
I've almost finished the whole bottle of champagne.
It certainly didn't take you very long.
To you guys
it represents a celebration.
But to me...
it represents a breakup.
I've almost finished
the whole bottle of champagne.
It certainly didn't take you very long.
To you guys
it represents a celebration.
But to me...
it represents a breakup.
I really don't want to see it again.
That's why I want to finish it quickly.
I know you've never believed in my 4G Great Man Theory.
Right?
Not exactly.
- It's just that... - You don't.
I know you don't.
Don't think that I'm drunk.
I know everything.
You can laugh at me if you want to.
You know what?
I only came up with those theories
gradually out of realization
after having gone through the pain and suffering from that breakup.
Are you okay?
I just want to let my members know...
that it's much more practical to find someone who's suitable for them
than finding people who're so faraway and unreachable.
Because...
I've once spent a lot of time
compromising for someone.
It's just that
back then, I didn't understand
that the more I try to compromise
the greater the distance would be between us.
Such a distance
is just like the difference between a flute of Krug champagne
and an ordinary water glass.
As for me...
I'm that ordinary water glass.
Remember how you asked me what heartbreak anniversary meant?
That's the story behind my heartbreak anniversary.
Today
make sure you wish me luck, okay?
Are you there yet?
I won't be able to make it today.
Your heartbreak anniversary...
is on the same day as my heartbreak anniversary.
This woman...
was once the most important person to me in this world.
I always thought...
that I won't ever be able to forget her for the rest of my life.
Because even though she has already left me...
I've always been waiting for her.
Waiting for her to come back.
Waiting for time to pass.
Perhaps it's just as you said.
I'm someone who's refusing to admit...
that I no longer believe in love again.
However...
ever since I met you...
I realized
that I actually want to be cured.
I must learn to accept the fact that she's already gone...
so I can really say farewell to my past...
and move on with my life.
Thank you.
Guan Xiao Tong.
How could you have slept through my whole speech?
I guess you're the one who doesn't believe in love, right?
Did you break your antenna too, after your heartbreak?
You didn't sit here awake
the whole night, did you?
Then why didn't you wake up?
Since I stayed out here the whole night
Xin Xin is probably really worried.
I think I better head back now.
My legs are so numb.
Get up.
If you can't drink...
you shouldn't drink that much next time.
Let's go back.
Come on.
So can you take care of it for me?
- Sure, not a problem. - Okay.
You go, leave it to me.
Go on.
You must be really tired.
Why don't I take you home so you can rest?
But I still have work to do.
I thought Xin Xin said she would take care of it for you.
- It's on the way anyway. - Xin Xin?
- Okay. - Let's go.
You drank quite a bit last night.
Were you in a bad mood?
No, I just felt that
since those divorcees have all been hurt in their past relationships
they must know how fragile love can be.
But they still came to our event
knowing that they may get hurt again.
I really admire and envy their courage.
Love can certainly be fragile.
But as long as you can stand firm
and are clear on what you're after
you'll definitely meet the right person
somewhere one day, right?
How come you're so good at simplifying difficult problems?
You look more like Dr. Love than I do.
- I'm home. - Oh.
- Can I have my bag? - Here.
Thank you.
Oh yeah, tomato juice.
Tomato juice?
Tomato juice will help ease your hangover.
Also, you won't put on weight.
- Try it. - It's the first time I've heard of it.
I'll definitely give it a try.
- Thanks for taking me back. - You should get some rest.
- I'm going. - Okay, bye.
- Drive safely. - Okay.
Are you Mr. Xiang?
Mr. Xiang, do you remember me?
We met at the cooking class organized by the community school.
You forgot, right?
I remember, but it took me a while.
Mr. Xiang, what are you doing here?
I was taking a friend home.
What a coincidence, I live over there.
Really?
Is it your girlfriend?
No, just a friend.
Did you just go to the market?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, now that you've mentioned it...
remember that light and healthy dish that you taught us last time?
I still find that my cooking is still a little oily.
Since I shouldn't have such an oily diet
I'm not quite sure where I went wrong.
Why don't I give you my number?
You can give me a call if you have any questions regarding your cooking.
Hang on.
Mr. Xiang, you're so nice.
Not only did you give us a free lesson, you even provide after-sale services.
Here you go.
- I'll definitely call you. - Okay, I have to go now.
- Thank you, drive safely. - Okay, bye.
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
He's good-looking as well as a great chef.
It'd be great if he can be my son-in-law.
Mom.
Xiao Tong, did you meet anyone interesting at the camp?
I was there to work, not to find a boyfriend.
Why would I find anyone interesting?
Excuse me.
You're supposed to be Dr. Love, right?
You should look after yourself before you worry about others.
If you keep being so picky
you'll only be left with the leftovers.
Last time when I asked your sister to learn from you
what happened then?
She's still single now.
Who said I'd be left with the leftovers?
Perhaps I'll find a huge pearl one day.
Be patient.
How can I be patient?
You're not that young anymore.
- I'll see if there is anyone suitable. - No, thanks.
Mom, you're not going to set me up with someone, are you?
Don't even think about it.
It won't hurt to try.
I know this guy who is very nice.
I can introduce him to you.
I'll think about it.
Mom, you should look after your health instead.
You shouldn't worry about my love life when you're so weak.
I know.
But since your sister's divorced, and you're being picky
how can I not be worried?
I think you're actually causing trouble for yourself.
Can't you lower the standard
of that so-called G theory?
What G? It's 4G.
All right, at least try to think about what I just said.
What's this?
Ji Jia Wei?
What is it?
It's...
It's from Linda.
Remember my client who tried to jump off the building?
She's really sorry for what she's done
so she's asked me to give you this present.
Just take it.
- A present? - Let me make it clear.
The thing in there is from Linda.
It's from Linda, not me.
Ji Jia Wei.
Why try to hide it when you really want to be nice to me?
I don't think you're a piece of frozen pork chop at all.
I think you're more like a durian instead.
Sharp and prickly on the outside, but soft and creamy on the inside.
From a psychological perspective
a distance of between 15 and 46 centimeters from a person
is a dangerous zone.
Only close friends can enter this zone.
So please stay away from me.
46 centimeters?
Is that the distance between us now?
Shortening it to 15 centimeters isn't that bad, is it?
Nothing is predictable in life.
But don't worry.
Once you begin to think about starting your next relationship
you're already heading in the right direction.
Thank you.
It feels great to be heading in the right direction.
It's just that she still hasn't noticed
that I'm already doing my best to shorten the distance between us.
- Cheers. - Cheers!
Boss, it's a celebration party.
You sure you want to drink coke?
I need to remain sober to take you home if you get too drunk.
All right, cheers.
I haven't had a drink in ages.
I'd rather have our own party.
Why did Boss ask them to come along?
Something must be wrong.
Stop it.
How can there be so many plots?
Since the event was co-hosted by two companies
of course we should celebrate together.
- There's nothing more to it. - All right.
The reason why I've asked everyone to come to this party
is because over the past few weeks
some of our members are still seeing each other after our camping trip.
I think that certainly deserves an applause, right?
Obviously, such a great result is the outcome of I Meet You's efforts.
It also proves that Dr. Love's wisdom
is more effective than Cupid's arrow.
Let's put our hands together for her.
Boss.
Did I hear wrong or is there something wrong with my hearing?
How can they take all the credit after the hard work we've done?
At least it was a successful event.
It doesn't matter who takes credit for it.
Everyone, I also need to thank you all
for making it such a successful event.
Especially the guys from Renew Divorce Agency
as well as CEO Ji Jia Wei.
I've prepared a small gift
as a token of thanks.
In the past, I always thought Renew Divorce Agency
was a company that encouraged people to get divorced.
But after hosting this event with you
I finally understand that a happy divorce
is the key to starting a new chapter in life.
Because of you
we can help those who were once hurt in their past relationships
and give them a chance to find happiness again.
Just like this gift
the sprout has finally found the carrot that it belongs to.
This gift is a symbol of love that I Meet You has always been proud of.
Today, I'm giving it to you to thank you
for making our collaboration so smooth and successful.
I guess this is also another type of successful matching.
Come on, let's drink.
Cheers...
Thank you.
Boss, aren't you going to respond?
Don't you think that's a bit rude?
Thank you.
What you need to do now
is to tell her how you really feel
and let her be with you.
- I'll go and pay. - It's okay, I'll pay.
If everyone else can say farewell to their past
and begin a new relationship
then what about me?
