[Delicious Destiny]
[Episode 9]
I'll answer your earlier question.
In my heart...
of course, it's you who is more important.
Because you are my friend!
I am not a person that forgets her friends because of her lover.
And also, even though you have a very bad attitude,
cold personality,
and likes to frown,
you are really very loyal to a friend like me.
And also, the food that you make is also very delicious.
I really, really,
really hope that your restaurant can continue operating.
Thank you.
I am accepting your good intentions.
Interest!
I can make the interest...
lower.
Take care! Come back again if it's delicious!
Boss, don't get anxious.
Jiaming is surely doing overtime. White collared workers like her are always like this. Always working so hard.
If I don't see her for a day, I miss her already.
There is no more oil.
- Give me some fried buns. - Pay first.
As a Thai, you don't know Chinese culture at all.
When was it logical to pay first before eating?
After you eat the fried buns, you will surely not pay.
Moreover, I also paid first before living in your house.
As I said, the Thai really don't understand Chinese culture.
When renting apartments, one indeed must pay first before living in it.
Even if it is acceptable in renting rooms, but you must still
- pay first. - Who said that I am not paying?! Don't I have money?!
How come you--
Little kids are insensible.
- It's my treat. Okay? - I don't need you to treat me!
Don't I have money?
How many do you want?
One.
It's ¥1 for 4 pieces.
The Thai don't understand Chinese culture.
Don't say that I am buying just 1 piece, even if it's half a piece, I am allowed to buy!
- Okay. Okay. I'll give you 1 piece. - I'm not eating anymore! I don't want it!
- Jeez, I'm giving it to you already. - Don't want it!
Here. Take this.
I don't want it anymore! Get lost!
Here, take it already.
Come in.
The door is not locked.
What is it?
The weasel greeting the chicken a happy new year? (harboring evil intentions)
I saw how you were walking earlier.
Your arthritis must be acting up again, right?
None of your business.
All that's left in the shop is only oil fried buns.
That's why I made you vegetable and meat wonton.
This is chicken broth.
I put in pseudo-ginseng and astragalus.
This warms the yang and stops the pain. This is very good for your arthritis.
Accepting gifts will make you owe others favors.
What is it that you want to ask from me?
Just be frank with it.
I was just afraid that my landlady would be pitifully lonely in her room
when her leg is even in pain. What if she died alone from the pain?
Even if I die from pain, I don't need you to collect my corpse.
Say, I... have worked hard for more than half of my life.
Although I didn't really earn that much money,
I still have at least an obedient daughter.
Say, what about you? What will happen to you in the future?
Just being alone. Don't even have any children.
That's not good.
You kindheartedly coming here to check on me was actually to brag to me how good your life is
and how bad my life is. Is that it?
That's not what I mean.
Hello?
Ah, Head Chef Li.
What?!
Jiaming is drunk again?
Oh, okay. Okay. I'll be there right away.
You cannot go!
Once I am done eating, who will take the bowl away?
Hey, my leg hurts. I won't be able to bring this bowl down.
Pengfei!
What is it, boss?
Go to the alley entrance to get Jiaming.
- I'm also going. - Okay, let's go.
Jiaming, we're home.
Oh.
What are you doing?
Washing up to sleep.
Wait a minute. What are you doing?
Men are not allowed into a female's room.
Goodnight.
Jiaming.
Jiaming!
- Jia-- - Head Chef Li.
How come Jiaming always gets this drunk when she is with you?
I will be careful next time.
I hope there won't be a next time.
[Song Jiaming]
Yeah! We defeated this guy!
How come I felt that I got set up to get drunk by you?
[Song Jiaming] ♫ Deliberately avoiding the memories ♫
♫ We worked in unity, activated our brain, and defeated Gargamel ♫
I know already.
You're already full.
I don't have much money
but don't complain that it is too little.
♫ how can we meet? ♫
[Song Jiaming] ♫ How can a breakup go smoothly, and how will hatred be finally be satisfactory? ♫
Hope that one day, you will know
that what I want to be is way more than being a friend.
♫ I miss you so much ♫
♫ I say that over and over for myself to hear ♫
♫ I miss you so much ♫
♫ Will you suddenly think of me? ♫
Song Jiaming,
what really did you do with Li Yuzhe last night?
Isn't Zhao Han the guy that you like?
How come you dreamed about Li Yuzhe?!
It must be that the beginning of my dream was wrong.
What awkward beginning happened?
How did you get in? What is that?
Father told me to bring this to you.
He said that this can cure a hangover.
Sister Jiaming, what did you and Li Yuzhe do last night?
Nothing. Nothing is going on between me and Li Yuzhe. Heaven and Earth can bear witness.
If that's the case, what about that Zhao Han?
Is there also nothing going on between the two of you?
Sister Jiaming, I heard that when you like someone, you should be devoted only to him.
How could you be this fickle?
Jiaming, really so sorry.
She woke you up this early.
It's fine.
Xiaoli just gave me a lesson.
Come over here.
Jiaming, in love, you shouldn't listen to other people.
You must follow your own heart. This way, no matter what happens,
you won't have any regrets in the future.
Daddy, what are you doing?
I was almost successful in convincing Sister Jiaming.
I know already.
What Xiaoli said is right. I should stop going back and forth between two men.
Because in the end, there will be three people that will get hurt.
Such fast understanding.
That's why, I should quickly cut through the tangled hemp with a sword. (make decisive actions to end a complex situation)
The person that I like is Zhao Han.
So then I should hurry and tell him about it.
Xiaoli, after going in such a huge circle, you are telling me to be with Zhao Han. Am I right?
Thank you!
Speechless.
Dad, how come you like a woodhead (idiot) like that?
Jiaming.
Sorry! Sorry!
Sorry, I'll print you another copy.
Don't worry. I have a very good memory. I will be able to say it without the script later.
But these numbers were just organized this morning. How would you be able to remember them?
My memory is very good.
Let me tell you. I remember that in your first-day interview,
you were wearing a light blue hoodie,
carrying a white canvas bag,
and there was even a barrette in your hair.
- You actually remember all that? - Of course.
I even remember your introduction.
"Everyone, hello. I am Song Jiaming.
My dream is to make a very popular show that warms people's hearts."
"Oh, wait.
I forgot to bring my resume!"
Jeez, it would have been better if you forgot such an embarrassing moment.
Boss, I actually came today because there was one thing--
So sorry.
Hello.
Okay.
Jiaming, file a leave day for me from Director Zhou later. I have to do something.
What thing is it that's so important?
I actually also have something very important that I want to tell you.
Then let's just talk about it when I come back tonight. Sorry.
Boss! I'll wait for you no matter how late!
Yilan.
Oh, you're here.
It's rare that you take the initiative to invite me for a meal.
I ordered your most favorite dishes.
Yilan, you don't look good.
Could it be that you didn't rest well last night?
No.
Oh, right. I heard that your show has encountered some troubles lately.
When did you start being concerned about my show?
Don't worry. It's been solved.
- The next episode will immediately be-- - How about Yuzhe then?
Did the business of Yuzhe's restaurant return to normal?
That... don't worry about that either.
Once the show gets broadcast, the reputation of his restaurant will also recover.
Customers will also slowly return.
That is not enough.
Help me look at this.
[Business Marketing Proposals]
You asked me to come here just for this?
All of those are business marketing strategies that I thought of.
I hope that it can help Yuzhe's restaurant regain its reputation during this time period. Your experience in this is better than mine.
Can you help me evaluate them
and determine which proposal will be the most helpful to Yuzhe?
Have we ever eaten together?
Of course.
Have you forgotten that we frequently ate together when we were little?
I am saying, just the two of us.
You always invite Li Yuzhe
and let me accompany him.
What are you treating me as?
Sorry, Xiaohan.
Look. I ordered your most favorite oysters.
The oysters of this restaurant are very famous--
The one who loves to eat oysters is Li Yuzhe.
I am allergic to seafood.
I was very happy today.
I thought that you were finally able to remember me.
I never thought that the only topic, we can chat about when we are together, is still Li Yuzhe.
Sorry.
Look at how scared you were.
I was just joking with you. Am I that petty?
If I am that petty, would I be the friend of you both for this long?
You...
Don't worry. Li Yuzhe is my best buddy.
Even without you, I will also help him even if I lose my life.
The take-off of this proposal is the marketing aspect.
I feel that what's most important for Yuzhe's restaurant now, is a change in its general image.
If you want to save his restaurant from the bottom of the valley,
you must have a very strong trump card. An ability to get before the eyes of the public in just one step.
That way, he will get the chance to make a comeback.
What you said is right. So my thought direction was wrong.
I'll go back now and see
if there are any culinary activities that can help showcase Yuzhe's talent.
Then Xiaohan, I won't accompany you for this meal anymore.
Take your time to eat them. I'll get going now.
I said that I was just joking around and you still won't believe me.
I can see that you really worked hard on these proposals that your mental state is already too tense.
I only wanted to make you relax a little.
How about it? Was my acting really lifelike?
I usually play around like that in the office.
Of course, it was very lifelike.
Because everything that I said earlier were words that I have suppressed in my heart for so many years.
[Zhao Zelin]
Li Yuzhe, if not for your family background being better than mine since we were little,
you'd be nothing.
Boss!
I have disappointed you.
I made you congee.
Eat it while it's hot. For a post-hangover person, it is easier to digest congee.
I am not hungry.
No need to be this good to me.
I said it already that we don't owe each other anything anymore.
Go home after eating.
Stop doing overtime here already.
No, I must wait for Boss.
He said that he would come back so he surely will.
He is the most trustworthy person that I've ever seen.
What important matter is it, that you cannot wait to just say tomorrow?
Could it be... you plan to confess?
I guessed right?
Yes.
I don't want to drag it out anymore.
No matter what, I want to give my feelings some justice.
Hello.
Are you a friend of this phone's owner? Your friend is here and is very drunk. Can you come over to get him?
Okay.
Okay, I'll be there right away.
Okay. Please hurry.
Really so regretful.
Xiaohan seems to have drunk a lot.
The bartender used his phone to call me.
I cannot keep you company anymore. I need to go to the bar to get him.
Why did he drink? Did he encounter an unhappy matter?
How would I know?
Hey!
Take me with you. I am worried.
I really have been having severe bad luck lately.
How come I get to meet a drunkard every day?
Hey!
- Boss, why did you drink so much? - Turn on the lights.
- You... - Hey!
Why did you do that to my boss?!
Boss...
Enough.
He totally has no idea what you are saying right now.
Boss...
Miss Song, can you just leave Xiaohan to me?
And then...
- just obediently go home on your own. - No way.
I won't be at ease. I can take care of him more meticulously than you.
I don't know if I would be able to meticulously take care of him or not.
It's just that if you are here, I fear that you might take advantage of him.
Stop thinking that everyone has a dark heart like you.
Oh, my, how come there are so many rashes?
Waiter, water.
Hurry and go!
Yilan.
When can you shift your gaze
from Yuzhe to me?
What's wrong?
I'm going now.
Water...
No matter what Xiaohan said,
drunk words might not really be one's sincere words.
He will have forgotten all about it when he wakes up tomorrow.
You'll probably have a second chance.
No need.
If the heart of someone is being filled up by another one,
he won't give any space to anybody else anymore.
There isn't any need for me to confess my feelings and just endure humiliation.
Although that's the case,
this is really not like the 'never giving up' you.
Love and work are two different things.
And also, it's really strange this time.
Even though I got rejected, I am not really that sad like what I expected.
It's like a stone falling on the ground and dust settling.
Like I have resolved an illness of my heart.
This seems to be different from the heartbreak that I imagined.
It can only mean that...
you have a different kind of feeling for him.
What feeling?
Maybe from the start,
you never really fell in love with Xiaohan.
Huh?
You only worshipped the boss who was able to freely gallop in his career
and is warm, gentle, and reliable.
Looking forward to that one day when you could be like him.
The person you like is not really Xiaohan,
but the future you.
I am not that narcissistic.
Moreover, my heart flutters when I see him.
What living person doesn't have a fluttering heart?
But I heard that there is one very easy and best method for curing heartbreak.
That is to fall in love with another person.
Let yourself wholeheartedly fall into a new love,
so you can have a new life.
Sounds logical.
I know who I want to fall in love with already.
Who?
I love my work.
Since I am heartbroken, I should focus all my passion on my work.
Make our show better. Hmm?
Where is my water?
I'm home.
Yilan, you're home.
Lanlan, you're home.
- Drink a glass of milk. - Thank you.
Dad, still working this late?
I am not sleepy and I had to wait for my daughter to come home.
Only after I see her can I sleep easy.
What is that?
This is a proposal from a business expo requesting funding from Gooben.
I am presently distressed over which activity to choose.
Let me see.
And also this one.
Cuisine Festival?
I already read this proposal earlier. I feel that it is not bad,
but it doesn't have much of a connection with the type of business our Gooben does.
Jeez, Dad, your thinking is too old-fashioned.
Our Gooben advocates health and skin care.
Using natural ingredients as our raw materials.
This is just achieving that same goal through a different means with a nutritious cuisine.
How about you just leave the handling of this activity to me?
Although the malicious video was taken down, its bad effect still hasn't ended.
Before, at this time, there was already a line at our door.
Right now, there isn't even one full table.
Hi, you are all here.
Sister Jiaming is here. Wow! There are fried buns!
Wrong. It is obvious that they're just for one person. I'm sure that they're not for me.
Jeez, they're really for you. Hurry and eat them while they're hot.
Okay. Okay.
That... Head Chef Li,
I came to tell you that our show has been restored.
We are preparing to do the next episode already.
Sister Jiaming, look at how our restaurant's business has tumbled already.
How can our boss still be in the mood to do any show?
Don't worry. The bad effect produced before needs time to dampen down.
Making the show popular is also a way to help your restaurant.
No matter how great a help it will be, it is still useless.
Don't look at how exquisite the dishes are. Everything behind them takes capital.
Based on our Boss' operating concept, it would be hard to continue being open for business during this time.
We surely will lose the one month bet.
Let me say something practical.
I feel that there is a problem of how your restaurant is operating.
Why not use this chance to do a total makeover?
This is only my individual idea.
After all, I have done numerous culinary shows already.
More or less, I have some judgments about restaurants.
I feel that...
your restaurant is a bit...
Continue talking.
Highbrow. Not in touch with the people.
If you are willing to tone down the style standards of your restaurant a little,
and do some stuff that's easily acceptable to others...
Think about it. What do people want when they eat out?
Isn't it still something delicious in a relaxing atmosphere?
But if your style is too lofty and aloof, it instead gives a feeling of being unapproachable.
Why don't we change its orientation first? We can start with the menu--
I am against it!
Yilan, why are you here?
I came to invite you to join the Cuisine Festival.
I already got you a guest seat. Look.
This is a business expo being organized by Gooben Corporation.
The theme for this year is Cuisine Festival.
I even got you a chance to give a speech.
If you are able to express your unique operational concept,
it will surely help increase your position in the culinary world.
Letting the level of your restaurant become even higher. Becoming Shanghai's
and even the whole of Asia's most exquisite Western restaurant.
Does that seem quite appropriate?
The restaurant got ridiculed exactly because it was too aloof.
If you are still going increase your so-called style,
isn't that pushing the restaurant into a fiery pit?
Do you understand Western cuisine?
I have eaten it.
I even have eaten it a lot.
What you have eaten are all edited versions, domestic versions.
Have you been to Paris, France and eaten at a 3-star Michelin restaurant?
Stop looking down on Shanghai commoners like me.
Our past generations also grew up eating Western cuisine.
They frequently go to the Red Room to eat Western cuisine.
And also, your restaurant is in Shanghai so you should make Western cuisine that's suitable for Shanghai people.
Western cuisine that's suitable for Shanghai people?
What's that?
Red braised lobster balls? Or fried pizza?
How come you are throwing other people's stuff? Do you have any manners?
So sorry. This is a Western cuisine restaurant.
Having real manners is by not bringing in outside food.
One is not even allowed to wear casual clothes here! Sorry to have disturbed you guys.
Hey!
Yilan, what you did earlier was excessive.
Sorry, I was just making an example earlier.
I just want to let her know the rules in a Western-style restaurant. I will apologize to her.
But you must promise me that you will attend the Cuisine Festival.
I am doing all this just for you.
Have you forgotten? When you were still studying at Le Cordon Bleu,
you said that your dream was to establish the highest level of a Western-style restaurant.
Now that you're facing a few setbacks, are you giving that up already?
Okay now. I was indeed wrong earlier.
I will surely apologize to her.
I already prepared your speech. Let us go choose your formal wear tomorrow.
Good intentions being treated like some donkey liver. This Li Yuzhe...
you deserve to be bashed! You deserve to be cursed!
Your knife skills have improved.
Cutting in such a fierce manner, are you cutting meat or an enemy?
You clearly know who I am cutting up.
Today...
It was indeed Yilan's fault for throwing your fried buns in my place earlier. Sorry.
It's she's the one who made the mistake so why are you apologizing?
Because I want to invite you to attend the Cuisine Festival with me.
Don't know if you are interested.
Not going.
Really not going?
Hmm?
Yuzhe, you really look good wearing this suit.
If you like this, I can wear it for you.
Ah...
Yuzhe, does it look good?
Yilan, actually...
I want to take Jiaming to attend the Cuisine Festival.
I feel that this dress really suits her.
Must you bring her?
The words she said yesterday were really inspiring for me.
I feel that she really is very gifted when it comes to culinary arts.
Her ideas regarding the restaurant are also very interesting.
This is the real reason why I want to invite her to attend the Cuisine Festival.
If you feel that it is suitable, then it's fine with me.
You were choosing this dress for her, am I right?
I'll go change.
This dress was gifted by Yuzhe.
Pretty. Jiaming, quickly go try it on.
I don't want to. I didn't really agree to attend the activity with him.
If you are not wearing it, let us not waste it. Let us just leave it for Xiaoli to wear when she grows up.
No way!
Being young is really great. Getting gifts from people.
Jeez, Dad...
So ugly. Even if you give it to me to wear, I wouldn't want it.
Jiaming,
I want to have a chat with you.
That night, I got drunk. I heard that it was you and Yuzhe who brought me home. Thank you.
Is your health better?
The allergic reaction has completely disappeared. Oh, right. Weren't you going to say something to me that day? What was it?
Nothing.
I did happen to have something I wanted to ask you yesterday.
But afterward, I already was able to get the answer.
Boss,
did you get drunk that day because of Yilan?
Did I say something?
Nothing.
I was just able to see that you really like Yilan a lot.
I only wish that you can be blissful.
Don't drink so much next time. You will harm your health.
Jiaming,
I am actually very grateful to you. You were the one who helped me find my worth.
At least, I know that there is a girl who admires me, regardless of what kind of admiration it is.
Ah...
You already know?
Have you forgotten? I am very good at reading minds.
I actually really envy you a lot. I want to be like you.
Able to warm everyone up. Able to make people or matters reach an agreement.
You have never hurt anyone.
But have you thought about
what people who warm others use to warm themselves?
That's right. You have already given your warmth to others.
What about yourself?
Just stick a warming pad on then.
Boss, you really are so adorable.
But honestly, have you noticed that Yuzhe really treats you differently. He must really like you a lot.
Huh?!
How can there be a person who likes someone like him?
Other than tormenting and criticizing me every day, he would make things difficult for me.
Everyone expresses love differently. The love of Doraemon toward Nobi.
Just for a dorayaki (a sweet filled pancake), he was already willing to go up the mountain and under the sea for him.
The love of KFC toward McDonald's is to always open a shop at least 300 meters from the other.
If one has a new product, the other one will come up with a promo. Neither one falling behind the other. Maybe Yuzhe's love for you
is to silently stay by your side. Although he talks quite harshly,
he will never leave it to just watching and doing nothing whenever you encounter any difficulty.
Boss...
I really don't know.
It's fine if you can't understand it now. You will eventually. Once you do,
you must grab hold of it tightly. I hope you can be blissful.
