[Episode 10]
Come in.
Miss Ye, this is the dress you ordered.
Help me investigate Song Jiaming, whether it's her family background or work experience.
I don't believe that she has no weaknesses.
Okay. And also, Miss Sun is outside looking for you. She passed her interview already.
Ask her to come in.
Please come in.
- Manager Ye, hello. - Hello.
I saw your resume, it was very top-notch. I believe there are no problems with your abilities either.
However, our company is a huge enterprise,
and the image and skills of the front desk are very important.
And also, mine and Chairman Li's standards are very high.
That's why the several front desk employees before were unable to stay for very long.
I hope you won't disappoint us.
Don't worry, Manager Ye. You also saw that I have worked in big companies before.
I transferred here due to better opportunities and the room for progress.
I hope you can take care of me more.
Start working as soon as possible.
Alright, I'll go out now.
[ Don't worry. I've already successfully gotten hired. ]
[Zhao Han]
I already said before
that in terms of grape wine, it is still Laffey that is the most delicately sweet
and the easiest to drink.
Look at this color, this scent.
This is a 1904 Bordeaux and not called Laffey.
Not all high-quality red wines are called Laffey.
But it's fine. For Mrs. Li being able to accompany me today
to choose the red wine for the Culinary Festival,
I already feel very grateful. Changhai, after all, is always so busy.
His taste standard for red wine is also very high.
The wine must not be repeated at every grand event.
That's why I can only handle it personally.
Mrs. Ye.
We will report this deal to Ms. Jiang then.
And then, if she is satisfied, we will immediately deliver the goods.
Fine, this way, please.
She really has learned how to carry herself quite well.
Her intonation is really disguised very well.
She has to accept all the money from her mother-in-law.
She doesn't really have any money of her own.
That's right. Don't look at Chen Lihua as always dressing so stylishly.
Actually, when she goes home, she is just a maid that cooks and cleans for her mother-in-law.
Chen Nan?!
Do you still remember me?
We used to work together in the house of that same person.
So sorry. You recognized the wrong person.
How could I be wrong?
You are Chen Nan. I cannot be wrong.
You are wrong
Mrs. Ye, do you still have any more orders?
That person who greeted me earlier, immediately fire her.
You're talking about Yan Juan? She doesn't seem to have made any big mistake.
Just do what I said. I will pay for the compensation.
But if I see her here again next time,
don't think of doing business with the Ye family anymore.
Yes.
Hello.
Hello? Is this Song Jiaming?
Alright, I know already.
Then how about this? If I have any questions, I will just call you again.
Okay. Bye-bye.
Totally the same as I imagined it. This formal dress really suits you.
Thank you.
Yilan?
Maybe the dress shop got it wrong.
They also delivered me the same dress.
Time was too short so I didn't have the time to arrange for a new one. You won't mind, right?
I don't mind. But where is Jiaming?
She probably will be here soon.
How about you? How is your preparation? You will be going on stage soon.
Since she already promised me that she is going to attend this Cuisine Festival, I think it's unlikely that she will be late.
Maybe... she has something that delayed her.
Mr. Li, please prepare.
- I'll go over there first. - Hey, Yuzhe.
Let me keep your phone so you won't get distracted.
Once Jiaming arrives, I will lead her here.
Manager Ye, I'm done with my investigations. Song Jiaming's family owns a fried bun shop.
Years ago, the shop owner, Song Dezhong, got divorced due to an alcohol addiction. His ex-wife, Chen Nan, has gone missing.
Song Jiaming has been looking for her mother in these past years.
Where is her mother now?
At present, the only thing I was able to find is a friend that she worked with in the past.
[Yan Juan]
Call this person and tell her to immediately contact Song Jiaming. I am willing to pay any amount.
I am an old friend of your mother, Chen Nan.
I just heard that you were looking for her.
I actually have a little news about her.
It is just hard to say it over the phone.
How about this? I am about to travel soon.
If you really want to know, immediately come to see me.
Jiaming, you're finally here.
It's me.
Chen Nan?
Yuzhe, it's almost time. Prepare to go up on stage now.
How come Jiaming is not yet here?
Don't mind her anymore. The speech is currently what's most important.
Whether your goal and dream can be fulfilled at all depends on today.
You just need to give it following this script and everyone will surely support you.
Let us go in first.
You dropped something.
[Song Jiaming]
Although you keep frowning,
I still don't want to owe you anything.
Let me keep it for you.
No need. Thank you.
Okay already. Stop being busy.
Yan Juan, I especially came today to remind you
that no matter what have you discovered, there are some words that are better for you to keep mum about forever.
I understand already. It was you who told the owner of the wine cellar to fire me.
That's right.
But I won't let you leave with nothing.
I'll give you some money. Just treat it as if you never knew me.
That depends on how much you are willing to give.
¥30,000?
¥50,000. That's more than enough for you to survive in Shanghai for 2 years.
Are you just sending some beggar away?
- How much do you want? - ¥100,000!
Let me clearly tell you that you are not worth that price.
[Cuisine Festival 2016 in Shanghai]
Audience and media friends, hello.
I am sure that everyone here has heard of this person beside me, Mr. Li Yuzhe!
Today, Head Chef Li Yuzhe will announce a grand change
that will lead his restaurant a step closer to being more elite and more outstanding.
Next, let us give the time to our Head Chef Li. Everyone, please welcome him!
Is Auntie Yan Juan around?
Jiaming... How come Jiaming is here?
Oh, your daughter?
Someone contacted me before and said that your daughter, Song Jiaming, has been looking for information about you.
This is good too. If I am able to reunite you two here,
that is also a good thing.
You must not tell her.
I cannot see her. Don't let her in. I beg you.
She is already outside my door. If I don't let her in, that doesn't seem right.
We can renegotiate the money matter.
I really cannot see her. I beg you.
Auntie, hello. I am Song Jiaming.
Come in.
Thank you.
Come, sit there.
Sit.
Here, sit there.
Hey, Jiaming, how come you look very familiar?
I remember! You are that host of 'A Moment of Delicious Flavors'.
Yes.
You said on the phone before that you have news about my mother.
I really want to see her.
Chen Nan...
is a friend I met 20 years ago.
But I really didn't know that she got separated from her daughter.
For so many years, I have been looking for her.
Do you know her current situation?
Jiaming, I initially had things that I wanted to tell you.
But thinking about it again, maybe there are some things
that are better for you not to know.
Auntie, I beg you to just tell it to me.
I have already tried all methods possible just to look for my mother.
As long as you are willing to tell me, I will agree to any price you ask.
How much are you willing to pay? I'll think about it.
Just say a price.
As long as it can help me find my mother, I surely will think of a way to get you the money.
So sorry. My cat is acting out. I'll just take a look.
You must not tell her my information.
I'm begging you.
Last price, ¥500,000.
Very well.
¥500,000 then.
So sorry. My cat has quite a weird attitude. It is really hard to control her.
Auntie, just tell me about it.
I am willing to pay no matter how much.
Jiaming, you misunderstood me.
I am not doing this for money.
This is indeed a bit hard for me.
But after seeing how you are very persistent in knowing,
let me tell it to you honestly then.
Before your mother left the country, she indeed left a message.
She said that everything in the past was really painful for her.
Whether it is her husband or her child,
she doesn't want to have any communication with anything from her past anymore.
Going anywhere is fine with her. She just wants a new start.
Is that true?
I initially didn't want to tell you these words.
But you getting hurt is way better than not knowing anything, right?
Jiaming, don't be sad anymore. Everyone has a fated life.
Since your mother
already wanted to sever her ties with the past,
stop getting entangled with the past too.
I thought that I'd finally have news.
I could finally see my mother.
In these 20 years, I've worked so hard at my job.
I tried my best to get in front of the camera,
all just to be able to let my mother see me.
Before I sleep every night,
when I close my eyes, it is my mother's shadow that I see.
The only remembrance is the illustration book that she left.
When I am unhappy,
I usually won't say it to my father because I am afraid that he will get worried.
I then hide it under my blanket and whisper it to my mother.
I then feel that she is just by my side.
I could already touch her if I just extend my arm.
Good child, you are now a grown up.
Just live your life well from now on.
Thank you, Auntie.
I won't disturb you anymore.
How about you eat dinner first before leaving?
What are you crying about? Who are you acting for?
Your daughter has already left.
You should just continue being that heartless rich wife you are.
Oh, right, Ms. Rich Wife,
don't forget what you promised this poor friend of yours.
More likely than not, I might get soft-hearted and tell her the truth.
You must not do that. We must not have any more interactions from now on.
What is he doing?!
What's going on?
He tore up his speech script.
What is going on?
Very sorry.
I initially had a script with pretty words and clear-cut viewpoints in my hand.
I am sure that everyone would have been very satisfied after you had listened to it.
But when I stood up on this stage and stood in front of this mic,
I suddenly felt that I should
tell everyone my real feelings.
I've always thought that a cuisine was an elite art,
a taste that only a very few can understand.
I've tried my best to become the world's best Head Chef. That is, until I met a special girl
and a special little shop. They don't have any leader or an allocated wine cellar.
Ingredients are those readily available and the skills are simple and down to earth.
The only chef in that restaurant hasn't even heard what Michelin is.
But you will discover that
all the customers that go there to eat will have smiles on their faces when they leave.
In this shop, I was able to eat the warmest and most satisfying dishes.
I also got to understand one principle.
The part of you that really tastes a dish is not one's palate,
nor your brain. It is your heart.
It is bearing a smile of anticipation when entering a shop to taste delicious food
and then blissfully leaving with utmost satisfaction.
Does he know what he is saying?
- These are his real feelings and his choice. - ...allowing me to get uncontrollably involved.
From that moment on, I kept reflecting.
Could it be I was too focused on those accurately precise standards of measurement when I make dishes?
Too focused on the exquisite yet cold qualities and style?
I only focused on the dish,
but forgot its final purpose.
The best delicious food shouldn't be so high and lofty.
Also, the best chef shouldn't just know how to handle those high-quality ingredients
as long as there are fresh ingredients, mature skills,
and a heart that considers what each and every guest wants.
I believe...
that my restaurant will surely bring more people good flavors and blissfulness.
I... hope everyone can support me.
Jiaming!
Jiaming, what's wrong with you? Jiaming...
Jiaming, get up. Jiaming...
Jiaming...
- Jiaming! Don't scare me! - Mommy...
Mommy...
Mommy is here. Mommy is here.
Jiaming...
There is a password. Jiaming...
Is it Song Dezhong's?
Still wrong.
It's my birthday.
Jiaming,
you still remember my birthday.
Thank you.
- Give me my phone. - Yuzhe, are you crazy?
Give me my phone.
Why did you suddenly change your speech?
Are you really going to change your restaurant like that?
Sorry, Yilan.
I know that this is a precious opportunity that you got me after doing so much work.
But I only wanted to speak out loud, my most honest thoughts.
I really don't want to say words that are against my heart and that I don't even believe myself.
Jiaming, where are you?
No...
I found this lady by the roadside.
The Miss has fainted. Hurry and come here to save her!
You are the last person on her phone that she called. I beg you...
Hurry up and come.
Tell me the address.
Okay, I will be there soon. Please take care of her.
Hey, Yuzhe! Where are you going?
Something bad has happened to Jiaming.
Jiaming...
Jiaming, hurry and wake up.
Hold on a little.
Jiaming...
Jiaming,
I am sorry.
Mommy... I knew that you wouldn't leave me.
Jiaming.
I was the one who is wrong.
Jiaming! Jiaming!
Still angry?
One Song Jiaming... not only kidnapped Yuzhe's stomach...
With just one phone call, even the person is gone.
You also know Yuzhe's character. Maybe Jiaming is really in some trouble.
I already don't know what his character is now.
I only know that this Song Jiaming is not some good person.
Thank you, Doctor.
I should be thanking you. Remember to take your medicine on time.
- Okay, goodbye. - Okay, goodbye.
I am about to get off work.
Just carry her away.
Doctor, she still hasn't woken up. I wanted to discuss with you if she could sleep here for tonight.
Don't worry. I will pay your fee for the bed.
What I have here is a clinic, not a hospital. We don't provide night service.
Please try to accommodate us, okay?
Fine then. You two can stay here for one night.
When you leave, remember to lock the door for me.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're awake.
Li Yuzhe?! Why are you here?
Where are we?
This is a clinic on the city outskirts. You fainted this morning.
Why then did you come here?
M-My... clothes... were you the one who changed them?
You better explain it clearly! My good reputation has been destroyed by you!
First, please look clearly first.
I am dressed so well. What could have happened between us?
Second, even if I want something to happen,
I will still choose my partner.
And also,
is there anything on your body that's worthy for me to see?
Did you really not look?
I am not interested.
If you have the energy to shout here,
why don't you first take your medicine and sleep for a while more. Your body is still weak.
What are you doing?
This clinic is very small. It only has this one room where we can sleep.
Where do you want me to go?
If you are here, how can I sleep?
It's your choice if you are going to sleep or not.
Don't know who was sleeping so soundly earlier and was even snoring.
I'm just afraid you'll complain about men and women having intimate contact and then shout in the middle of the night.
If it's that way, I won't be able to sleep anymore.
Today, I actually came to this village to ask for information about my mother.
But I kept feeling that person seems to know something
and it just wasn't convenient to tell me.
Have you slept already?
You are so noisy.
Yilan, why are you sitting here?
Yilan, what's wrong?
I just can't sleep.
I'll go pour you some warm milk then.
Do you still remember the Song Jiaming that I mentioned to you?
Song Jiaming? Why are you mentioning her?
It was all her doing that I am in this present situation.
If there was no her, I would have been with Yuzhe already.
I have never hated a person this much before.
- What's wrong with you?! - Mouse! That really scared me!
I feel that you shouting like this will instead scare the mouse to death.
Hurry, hurry and catch it.
Aren't you a food stall heroine that is not afraid of anything?
Just a small mouse has already scared you like this?
I got bitten by a mouse when I was little. The trauma it left in my heart is too great.
I don't know how to catch a mouse. I am not a cat.
I beg you already.
Okay already. It has escaped.
Why did you let it escape? You should have beaten it to death.
Or else, it will come back later.
Even if I kill this one, there might be another one that will come later.
Or maybe... a group.
A group?... Really?
Then I am unable to sleep anymore!
Just sleep. I'll keep watch.
I will hit any mouse that comes near.
Sleep.
Come. Come...
But I am still afraid.
Where are you going?!
By doing this, are you still afraid?
I feel a bit better.
Here. Put this lunchbox inside your bag and go to school on your own.
Who is it?
You are...
Ms. Yan, hello. I am Song Jiaming's friend.
Don't get nervous. Jiaming is looking for her mother not really to get something from her.
She just wants to ask for some peace of mind. Can you really bear to see them get separated?
Mr. Li, I understand all the reasons that you are saying.
But I really don't know any news about her mother.
You better just leave.
This is...
I left in a hurry so I wasn't able to bring much cash with me. That's all of it.
Consider it as kind little feelings of mine. Please accept them.
This is my calling card. If you are willing to share any information, I welcome your call anytime.
Sorry to disturb.
Duoduo, let's go to school!
Coming!
Mommy, I'm going to school now.
- Come home early. - Yes.
Going to school now!
Slow down. Slow down.
Duoduo! Duoduo!
Hurry and call Duoduo's mother.
- What is it? - Duoduo fell into the water.
Fell into the water?!
Duoduo! Duoduo!
- Mommy! - Duoduo...
Duoduo, are you alright?
You scared me.
Mr. Li, thank you for saving my Duoduo.
I only have this one daughter. If anything bad happens to her,
I really don't know how I am going to live from now on.
For a mother, her child is her everything.
No matter what happens to her, you surely will get worried.
If you lose your daughter, I believe that your life will also crumble. Am I right?
You are also a mother. You surely understand the feelings between a mother and daughter can never be severed.
Hope you can think of it from a different perspective.
Jiaming is a very kind lady. I earnestly beg you to help her.
I really don't know anything. Don't ask me anymore.
Okay.
Then... I'll take my leave.
Take good care of your child.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Where did you go?
Went to buy you breakfast.
The Ningbo specialty new year cake and pickled cabbage soup.
Just buying breakfast and you will get your clothes wet?
Hurry up and just eat.
The taste is quite good.
Oh, my god! Did I hear it wrong?
It is already hard for you to praise a food as being passable.
You actually said 'quite good' earlier?
Are you sure that this sludgy bowl of pickled cabbage and new year cake soup is quite good?
Yesterday, you were not at the event. I already announced to all the media people
that from now on, my restaurant is going to be closer to the people and not only do high and lofty Western cuisine.
You really said that?
Then wouldn't the audience--
They were very approving.
And all of this was thanks to you.
That's why to thank you...
change your clothes once you're done eating.
To do what?
When I went out to buy breakfast earlier, I noticed that the scenery of this village is not quite so bad.
Let's go out and take a tour around.
I feel that the dirty stuff in my lungs has all been filtered away.
What about your heart?
My heart... also feels more relaxed.
That's right, we usually live in such a tiring manner.
It's really good here. The scenery is good and the air is good too.
When we have free time next time, we can come here together to relax.
Sure.
Oh, right. Where did you go this morning? How come you were totally wet?
I went to the temple to make a wish. I heard that making a wish there is very effective.
Who are you fooling?
Then tell me, what wish did you make?
I won't tell you.
Petty.
How about you? Will you tell me your wish?
I am a very magnanimous person. Of course, I will tell you that my wish is--
Jiaming! Jiaming!
I remembered Chen Nan's phone number already!
No way. It's that effective?
This is the number of the previous employer of Chen Nan where she worked as a tutor.
I asked someone to find it for me.
You two can try asking them. Maybe they will have news about Chen Nan.
Mr. Li, this... I've thought about it.
I cannot take your money.
You have helped Jiaming in a big way.
- This is just a little gift. - No, no...
You saved my daughter. I am really grateful to you. A mother and daughter are connected by heart.
I can totally understand the feelings Jiaming has of wanting to find her mother.
Your mother... might not really want to see you
but you have the right to find her. This is the only help that I can give you.
I'm going now. I wish you two good luck.
That's why you went out this morning, to help me beg Yan Juan?
