[Episode 4]
Our son is here.
Yuzhe!
What happened to your proposed dinner today?
Just an accident.
What about the culinary show?
That is my business.
You have never been concerned about my restaurant before so why are you asking so many questions now?
How can you talk to me like that?!
We have a guest.
- Maid Chen, go and open the door. - Yes.
Thank you.
Uncle and Auntie, hello.
Yuzhe, are you feeling better?
I brought you ginger tea.
Yuzhe.
I know what you want to ask.
That Song Jiaming is the person that wanted to invite me to join a culinary show.
As for everything that happened today, it was all really just an accident.
Although the things she did were quite overboard, all of it was for work.
I also don't want her to lose her job just for this matter.
That's why...
you pity her?
You can say that.
Isn't it just helping Jiaming retain her job?
Must you break your principles for it?
How about this? I have an idea.
It just so happens that our Gooben Corporation is initiating an international linkage project.
I'll just help Jiaming by getting her a new job.
The salary in the beauty industry is way higher than in the media.
This way, you don't need to force yourself to be a guest on that show anymore.
Thank you.
How will you thank me?
You decide.
Tomorrow, in Sheshan, our family is having a party with the different personalities in Shanghai's beauty and fashion industries.
Grandma wants to invite you and your family to attend.
But I am not really familiar with the fashion circles.
I don't think that there is a need to go.
Of course, it is needed!
Yilan, don't worry.
We will surely be there.
Thank your Grandmother for me.
Dad and Mom, can you two stop deciding things for me?
Okay already, Yuzhe. Aren't you going to thank me?
Just treat it as accompanying me to have fun.
Fine.

Who is it?
Hello, boss.
Jiaming, tomorrow is already the topic meeting.
What really is the situation with Li Yuzhe now?
Tomorrow?! That fast?!
Right. Tomorrow is the last day.
I don't want you to regret, just because you missed out on your last chance.
Okay. I'll go look for him right away.
Sure.
- Hello. - Hello, A'Cong.
Is Li Yuzhe at the restaurant?
Head Chef went to Sheshan.
What?! He is in Sheshan?!
How about this? I'll send you the details.
Okay. Okay. Thank you.
What if he still refuses?
If it really won't work,
I can only use my plight to move him.
He's here.
Auntie Zhang.
Yuzhe is here.
- Yuzhe! - Sister Yilan.
Let us hurry and go in. Grandma is already waiting.
Alright.
Son, you're here.
Quickly go in.
Grandma, Yuzhe is here.
Grandmother.
I brought you a bottle of Chateau Mouton wine.
So sorry for standing you up last time.
This is my apology.
Thank you, child.
What a coincidence.
Today, I also have a gift for you.
Thank you, Grandmother.
Hello.
Gooben Corporation?
What? Inviting me to work for your company?
Monthly salary is ¥20,000. Annual salary is ¥100,000 plus?!
Did you make a mistake?
We can't be wrong. The person we were looking for is exactly you, Song Jiaming.
The number and name are both correct.
So sorry. I don't plan on changing jobs right now.
Thank you. But I already am quite happy with my current work.
And also, I have a reason for continuing with it.
Thank you, anyway.
Yixuan, where are you?
Today is an important day for the Ye family.
You should at least come and be seen. Let people know that you are the grandson of the Ye family.
Really so nerve racking.
Mom, it's traffic. I'll be arriving soon.
Say, Lihua,
what are you doing now?
I already told you that your son is just a disappointment and weakling.
You're asking him to come here? Will he really be qualified to be introduced and be able to preserve our family's reputation?
I remember I've already reminded you before that the education of this son of yours since he was little, was wrong.
Mom.
Mom, what's wrong?
Don't get angry.
Let me tell you both this again.
This son of yours was spoiled by you two.
Fine, already. We all are family. Please stop talking about this.
What we are a family?
- Let me tell you, I have never treated her as family. - Mom!
- Now that I am back, let's see how good her days in the Ye family will be. - Yixuan, what's wrong with you?
- Yes already, Mom. - It was traffic.
Say hello to your Uncle Li and his family.
Uncle Li, hello. I am Ye Yixuan.
Sorry for being late today. There's really a lot of traffic outside.
He is the younger brother of Sister Yilan?
She is the younger sister of Brother Yuzhe?
How come it's you?
- Mom, she is that... - I-I... will go to the restroom first!
Go then.
I also want to go to the restroom.
Don't know why I suddenly want to pee after seeing all of you.
Go now.
This child is really naughty.
Why must we go in here?
Can't we go inside the female's bathroom?
You are the one who is begging me and you still are the one with so many complaints?
My hard situation is just temporary, okay?
Say, your family is also quite rich. Why then are you not paying your rent?
My family is rich, but it doesn't mean that I am rich.
Fine then. I'll just go ask for it from your parents.
Don't...
So painful! What are you doing?!
Lower your voice. Stop moving!
So high-class people also do lowly deeds.
Hey, wait a minute.
1, 2, 3, cheers!
What are you doing? Asking for my autograph?
Oh, it's like this.
If you don't pay your rent within 3 days, I'll send your parents the photo I took today.
You really are so shameless!
Shameless?
How about I show you what being shameless really is?
How come you two are not yet done?
Really...
Leave!
Leave?
Actually, this place is the men's bathroom.
The person who should leave is you.
Mister, can you please just let me enter?
I really have important business.
Even if you have important business I still can't let you in because you don't have an invitation.
Excuse me for a second, sorry.
No matter what you say you cannot enter.
We both are from the province so just please help me out.
This is not a problem of being from the same province or not.
Even if everyone is from my province, I cannot just let them all in, right?
Please just let me go in.
Yuzhe, Grandma has some friends she wants to introduce to you.
Why is Song Jiaming here?
I just got a phone call, she rejected our company's invitation.
My conscience cannot bear to, okay?
Just help me out, please?
It seems she still does not want to give up on that program.
Of course.
If she protects the program, that means she did something really good.
Perhaps she will even become the host.
Yuzhe, don't soften your heart and add more to your plate.
Let's head in.
It's not interfering my job,
It's interfering with others.
I really won't interfere with others, I'm only-
Tell the security guard again, no others may enter.
Alright, I understand.
I understand.
If you don't have an invitation, you really cannot go in.
The higher-ups just called me,
if you insist on going in you're basically making me lose my job.
Mr. Driver!
If I did not remember wrong,
this is the second time, right?
Your child is really immature.
He was just not feeling well, so he left early.
Why is it that every time he needs to see me he is not feeling well?
May I ask is our Ye family your family's nemesis?
No, definitely not.
He just didn't recuperate well last time and had an attack again.
I think I know where he went.
Jiaming.
Are you crazy?
In this weather, what are you trying to do right now?
I lost something.
I need to find it!
No, if it's lost then just let it be.
What's more important than your health and life?
And... you are a really strange person.
If it's really to make a living, I've already asked Yilan to get you into a higher level career.
Why didn't you accept it? Why?
And instead, you insisted on coming here to do this unnecessary pestering of me?!
You totally are so hard to understand.
Then why must you repeatedly make things hard for me?!
Do you know what I lost?
It's the only thing my mom left me, an illustration book.
The reason why I try my hardest to keep this job is because I hope that one day my mom will see me on television
To let her know that I'm doing well and that I miss her.
Can more pay achieve this?
But I just lost my only connection to her.
Does that mean I'll never get a chance to see her again?
Jiaming.
Jiaming! Song Jiaming!
Mr. Zhao, the drug we are using this time was imported from Switzerland. It is quite expensive.
Are you sure that we need to continue using it?
Of course.
As long as it has any bit of good effect, then we must continue using it.
Mr. Zhao, and they say, there aren't any filial children in front of the bed of a chronically ill patient.
You are one child that really never leaves your mother behind.
I actually know very well that my mother can't return to how she used to be anymore.
But as long as she can be a bit more conscious, I will feel comforted.
Mom, just be good and stay here.
I'll return after getting some water.
Yuzhe. What's wrong with Jiaming?
Zhao Han, why are you here in the hospital?
Oh, right, I remember.
Your mother is also in this hospital.
How come she ended up like this?
Jiaming!
- Hello. - Hello.
You are... her father?
Yes.
I saw the call history of her phone that's why I called you.
Thank you, then.
You are...
Please take good care of Ms. Song.
I'll get going now.
That... thank you!
It seems that the situation isn't that serious either.
How about this? I'm always around here. If you need anything, just call me.
My name is Zhao Han.
Alright.
Mom.
Sit.
Mom,
- that watch was from earlier-- - No need to say it anymore.
I understand what they mean.
Looks like the Li family is not accepting this marriage.
Then there is no reason for our Ye family to keep sticking to them.
Mom, this is fried glutinous rice roll that I made myself. Please have a taste.
Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night. I am unable to eat such oily food.
Right! What you said is right!
Then taste this bean curd. I made this myself too.
This is bean curd that you made?
Look.
She didn't put a drop of sesame oil in it at all.
What about the small dried shrimp?
Didn't I teach you to put small dried shrimps in when making bean curd?
Mom, look at me, I forgot.
- I'll just go make another bowl. - No need!
Mom, I can see it already. You are just reminiscing about the past.
How about this? I'll immediately take you around Shanghai to eat some Shanghai snacks?
Song Jiaming, were you able to get Li Yuzhe?
Still haven't. But Director Zhou...
Okay already. No need to say it.
Starting today, this show is going to stop airing.
Director Zhou, if you insist on letting Jiaming go, I'll also leave.
Boss! What are you doing?!
I was the one who hired you.
I must take responsibility for the show and toward you.
Zhao Han, must you help a subordinate like this?
I have never treated her as a subordinate.
She is my partner. We should bear hardships together.
I am the producer of this show.
Since the results are this bad, then let me bear the consequences with her.
Zhao Han!
What do you mean by this?!
Since the company started until now, you have always been with me!
And now, in front of so many people, are you embarrassing me?!
Director Zhou, no such thing.
I just hope that you can give Jiaming one more chance.
This matter is really not her fault.
Because in this world, no one can make Li Yuzhe agree.
- Yuzhe? - Li Yuzhe?
Li Yuzhe?
Head Chef Li?!
Nice to meet you!
Never thought that you are so handsome in person.
At the party a few days ago, I didn't get the time to greet you.
So sorry. So sorry.
Hello.
Never thought that Head Chef Li, actually could rely on his looks to earn money, but instead he chose to rely on his culinary skills.
Really great. So outstanding.
Jiaming kept requesting that I star in your show.
After thinking about it, I feel that we can give it a try.
This is our Jiaming's hard work not going in vain due to her sincerity. She finally was able to invite you here.
How about this? In this show, Jiaming will continue being the writer and director.
You are our most honored guest.
We will provide you with the most splendid line-up.
I don't want her to be the writer and director.
I got it. We'll change her.
I want her to be...
the host of this show.
This is my only condition in joining this show.
Fine.
Boss, did our show really get saved?
Am I just dreaming?
Of course, it's not a dream.
This show got saved all thanks to you.
I know that you have a lot of dreams. But the one that's easiest to fulfill is this.
Didn't you always want a computer like this one?
This is my gift to you.
Boss, thank you!
You are my sturdiest backer.
When you stood up and defended me, I sincerely felt that having a superior like you is the luckiest thing that happened in my life.
I am not your superior.
It's...
I'm your partner.
That's right too.
Yuzhe, I just happen to have something to ask you. Hurry and come in.
Even I was unable to make you come, how was Jiaming able to make you agree to come?
The troubles that I'd have to face if I didn't go on this show are way more than if I had to be the star of it.
Actually, I just wanted to get some peace and quiet.
That's right! As I said, there are no guests that Sister Jiaming can't get. Am I right?
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
After all, going on this show is a decision made by both parties.
Don't bring such a precious item with you all the time anymore.
If you lose it again, you might really not get it back next time.
When did Yuzhe start to actively do things for others?
♫ How long has it been since I've heard from you? ♫
♫ Maybe I have gotten used to not pay attention to it ♫
♫ Intentionally avoiding the memories. Such a coward that I dare not get near them. ♫
♫ One doesn't need to cry just because he is grieving ♫
♫ No more encounters in this parallel universe ♫
♫ In this endless sea of people, how can we meet? ♫
♫ How can a breakup go smoothly, and how will hatred be finally be satisfactory? ♫
♫ Love is like a falling star ♫
♫ I miss you so much ♫
♫ Will you suddenly think of me? ♫
Really good.
Look. This place is still the same.
That's right.
Oh, my, this house was the newlywed house of your father and I.
But when we divorced, I gave him this house.
Then I didn't return anymore.
Mom, each brick and tile here carries the memories from when you were younger.
Isn't that right?
Do you still remember that when you were little, you followed me to live in South Korea?
We managed a factory there.
The two of us, hand in hand, established the manufacturing and marketing chains of Gooben Corporation.
Actually, in my dreams, I will frequently return to this house.
But I really never thought that I would really come back here now.
Customers, come, please come inside.
What would you two like to eat?
- Do you want to go in and sit for a while? - Okay.
No need to be courteous.
I just want to ask if this house is for sale.
If it is for sale, how much is the price?
So sorry. This place is not for sale.
Money is not a problem.
Money is not the problem.
The problem is I won't sell this place no matter what the price is.
This place is an asset that I used half of my life to save up for.
I want to give it to my daughter.
But don't regret it later.
The price that I am willing to give is surely way higher than that in the market.
Our shop sells fried buns. We will be closing soon.
Our place is also not a tourist spot.
Why don't you two just leave?
I'll go up to take a look then.
I already said it. Our place is not a tourist spot. Please just leave.
Don't you still have customers around?
We will be closing soon.
Mom, forget it. Let's not make things difficult for them.
Let's go, okay?
Just you wait.
I will get this place back sooner or later.
Because this is my home.
Boss! I thought you weren't coming anymore.
I got temporarily delayed by some matters so I came late.
How could I be absent from celebrating such a happy matter?
If not for me having such an outstanding boss like you supporting me, the show would have been long gone.
I have been sticking my warm face to that cold butt of Li Yuzhe every day.
- Good thing I have Boss to warm it up when I get back. - Hey, Jiaming--
I feel that working with him from now on is actually the start of my trials.
Looking at how arrogant looking he is all day. Always giving people cold shoulders.
Others think that he is some handsome hunk.
I think that he is just a unit of a silent refrigerator that likes to pretending to be cool.
Yuzhe, don't you have something that you want to discuss with Jiaming?
I just brought him with me for convenience.
You don't mind, right?
Don't mind!
You won't mind the words I said earlier too, right?
I was praising you earlier... as having an attitude.
You're just going to use such clumsy lies to deal with me, right?
Pengfei, who is that colleague that Jiaming mentioned that she likes?
This one, Jiaming's boss.
- Uncle, hello. - Hello. Hello.
Jiaming's superior. Hello.
Isn't this that friend of yours who called me to the hospital last time?
Uncle, hello.
I am currently a guest on Jiaming's show.
My name is Li Yuzhe.
Hello. Hello.
Then... it's better to come by coincidence than come early.
Good. Good. Both are good.
Come, let's go. Let's all go inside our house to eat.
Dad! I only invited one.
The other one came uninvited.
So that's the one,
the ice disaster that Sister Jiaming hates so much.
While you are the boss that sister likes the most.
Look, I was able to differentiate it very clearly.
Okay already. Both of you have already arrived by our door.
Let's all go in and eat.
Come... Let's go...
Dad! I didn't invite him.
Thank you, uncle.
Then... I won't be polite anymore.
Mr. Zhao, Head Chef Li, you two must eat a lot today.
We made a few dishes today to celebrate your show getting approved.
This dish is Pengfei's specialty.
Come, taste this sauteed shrimps.
- Head Chef Li. - Thank you.
Come, everyone, you all eat too.
Delicious! Very tasty!
Jiaming and I both like to eat this dish.
If you don't believe my taste, you can opt not to eat it.
Fifty points.
What do those words mean?
Although the shrimps used were very fresh and the saltiness and freshness of the sauce was just right,
you can already guess just by looking at the color, the shrimp was fried too long. It has already lost its original softness.
So of course, I can only give 50 points.
But I feel that it's quite delicious.
That's why your standards determine that you can only plan culinary shows and not become a chef.
Then... taste this steamed Hilsa herring.
This was also cooked by Pengfei.
In this alley of ours, this is one of the best.
Come...
- I'll go first. - Go...
Delicious. The aromatic taste is quite thick.
So delicious!
Then I'll frequently bring this food to the office for you.
30 points.
On the outside, it looks fine.
But the scales of Hilsa herring have a high degree of fat so it's not that firm.
That's why famous chefs usually don't remove the scales when they cook Hilsa herrings.
Not only will that increase the taste of the fish, it is also very healthy.
But this fish got cleaned so well.
That's why I can only give a failing grade.
Then... taste this dish next.
Forty points.
In this dish, the ratio of leaks to soy sauce is excessive.
It caused the taste to be unbalanced. I can only give forty points.
Then how about this?
Thirty points.
The texture is not bad but the sauce was too much.
It totally masked the taste of the main ingredient.
Then what about this?
Zero points.
This dish failed in color, aroma, and taste.
Just one look and I already don't want to eat it.
Must you be this harsh?
That... Head Chef Li is just experienced and knowledgeable.
It's right for him to be picky.
Then taste this red braised pork that I made.
A dish that I learned in our family.
Let's see if you dare say any bad things about my father.
The culinary skills of uncle is clearly more exquisite.
You cooked this on a stir-fry pan then transferred to a casserole then back to a stir-fry pan, am I right?
Right.
If you want it to be delicious, you must not fear to go through the trouble.
Right...
Come... Eat...
But... after the braised pork left the pan,
it's texture is best within 15 minutes.
The sauce now is already coagulating.
If this is in a Western restaurant, this must be thrown away and redone.
But the culinary skills of uncle still can get...
sixty points.
Yuzhe, we are here as house guests
and not culinary guests in a food tasting festival.
Can you give people a bit of respect?
Looks like there are no dishes that Head Chef Li can eat.
Can't do anything about it. Our temple is just small. We are unable to accommodate a huge Buddha like you.
Master Head Chef, no one has ever criticized my father's dish like that.
We all are just eating some usual homecooked dishes and trying to enjoy ourselves.
If you don't like them, you can opt out and leave.
Hey, Jiaming, why do you speak like that?
Head Chef Li, don't take it to heart.
Thank you Uncle for welcoming me cordially and warmly.
But I indeed have things to do. Won't disturb you anymore.
No one will want to ask a guest like you to stay.
Boss, continue eating.
What?!
I want to talk with you about work.
Talk about work?
It is currently my rest period.
Since you asked me to be your show's guest,
then you are my subordinate and must wait for my orders 24 hours a day.
You don't have a rest period.
Boss!
Jiaming, once we finished filming this episode, I will surely reward you well.
Go now.
What?
The Origin of Dishes.
What is this?
You don't need to read this.
The Theories of Cooking.
Ingredients and Nutrition: The Secrets of the Kitchen.
The Journey of a Cook. And also... The Balance Theory of the Sense of Smell.
Since we are going to showcase cuisines on your show, then you must have at least the basic knowledge.
Basic knowledge?
These are called basic knowledge?
Yes.
If you haven't read all these, what right then do you have to talk about any cuisine?
I make shows and I'm not planning to take a chef certifying exam.
When you invited me to appear on your show before, you should have already prepared yourself in this aspect.
Okay. Okay. I'll read them, okay?
Do you plan to let me finish reading these files in 2 weeks?
I'm giving you 3 days.
3 days?!
Even if I don't eat, drink, sleep,
brush my teeth, wash my face, or do anything else, I still won't be able to finish them that fast.
It is your own business how to arrange your time.
After 3 days, summarize all these documents and give me a satisfactory proposal.
Or else, I won't join the filming.
Fighting!
All these are in English?
You totally are not a human. You are a demon!
Cooking book.
Fish.
Chicken.
Pig!
Thank you.
Why did you think of treating me to a meal today?
And you even chose such a romantic place.
I just wanted to choose a place that suits you.
If your future girlfriend learns that you previously had dinner with me in such a place,
she will surely get jealous.
Actually, I asked you to come today because I have a gift to give you.
This is a 1994 Great Vintage.
How did you find this?
The grape farms of Spain that year got devastated. The production of high quality brands were very little.
That's right.
Didn't you always want to have this wine?
That's right.
This must be very expensive.
Don't mind the price.
But I really asked a lot of friends before I found it.
I also know that this wine is very meaningful for you.
1994 was when you and I--
1994 was the year that Yuzhe and I met.
I have always wanted to gift him a wine made from that year as a remembrance.
After looking for so long, I never thought that you'd also remember it.
Xiaohan, thank you.
In the future, when you have a girlfriend, I surely will give you a grand gift.
My girlfriend might not still know of my existence.
Oh, right, where is Yuzhe?
You didn't invite him today?
The plan for the show has been initiated.
He and Jiaming are currently discussing proposals.
Song Jiaming?
Xiaohan, can you make them stop working together.
