[Episode 15]
Lan Lan, you seemed to be in a bad mood at dinner.
Is something wrong?
I'm fine, Grandma.
Is it Yuzhe?
Lan Lan,
you're my precious granddaughter.
Aside from him, no one affects your emotions like this.
Today, Uncle Li told me that Yuzhe hasn't returned home all day.
What if he backs out?
How could that be? Marriage is a serious matter.
Moreover, Yuzhe is someone with a great sense of responsibility.
He'll surely yield into his father's pressuring.
On that front, you probably understand him better than I do.
Right.
It's because I understand him that I think
if we use this method to force him into a marriage,
it will only produce the opposite outcome.
Every day, I'm worried about when he'll explode.
The calmer he is, the more restless I become!
Tell me, do you sound like my granddaughter when you talk like that?
We're at the end, and you're cowering down?
The person you're letting down the most is yourself.
The way I see it, who a man holds in his heart isn't important.
What's important is whether or not you can hold your spot by his side.
Let him slowly understand you. If one day isn't enough, take two days.
If one year isn't enough, take two years.
Just stay by his side for the rest of his life,
and let him learn about you, accept you, and fall in love with you.
Show him your true value.
Jiaming, I'll talk to Xiao Han about the program.
After I'm engaged, I'm afraid we won't be able to work together anymore.
Hurry home.
Uncle Song will worry if you're out this late on a date with me.
Who's on a date with you?
Right, it's not a date.
It's a farewell.
Head home.
Goodbye.
Jiaming.
I trust your abilities. I don't need to review it.
Uncle, I know that you trust me,
but this isn't a small amount. I don't dare make the decision.
Once Madam Jiang signs the contract, we'll be family.
You can act as my representative.
Yuzhe, you're here.
Madam Jiang will be here soon. Get ready.
Yuzhe, why does your complexion look so poor?
You didn't sleep well last night?
It was okay. I'm fine.
Yuzhe, if this matter is really that difficult for you,
we can come up with something else. I don't like seeing like this.
It makes me really sad.
Yilan, you're my good friend. As a man,
I have a responsibility to my family and my father.
Right now, I must fulfill my duty to them. Don't overthink things.
Yuzhe.
Yilan.
Let's go. We shouldn't make Madam Jiang wait.
Chairman Kang, what are you doing here?
Because of your good son.
Chairman, I was too presumptuous yesterday. I apologize.
No. Actually, I came today because I want to accept your proposal.
I thought it over, and I'd like to retract my investment withdrawal.
What? Retract?
Chairman Kang, I'm extremely thankful for your trust in Lishi Corporation,
but the documents for the withdrawal have already been approved.
And the news has already been passed on to the media.
What documents?
As long as I haven't signed, then Mengyuan is still a cooperative partner to Lishi.
As for the news reports, I suspect that Chairman Li won't mind too much.
Are you being serious?
Business is like a battlefield. Would I dare joke about such things?
Thank you, Chairman Kang. Don't worry. As I promised you,
Lishi Corporation will do its all to return your investment.
Chairman Li, are you unsatisfied with this outcome?
Did you have a better option?
No, that's not it. I just find this all very sudden.
Yes, I also feel it's very sudden.
Just yesterday, when I met with you, you were still so resolute. I'm a bit caught unprepared by this outcome.
You met with Chairman Kang yesterday?
Yes. Jiaming came up with the idea.
She said that you can't give up before you've reached the end.
Jiaming works in media.
How could she understand business investments and stocks?
I think that this—
Previously, I was unconvinced by the performance results and the return rates,
but this time, someone truly persuaded me with their sincerity.
That's how I came to this decision.
Mom, take your time.
Take your time.
Mom, you're happy with this result, right?
Yes! It's good!
I never would have expected that Granny Kang was Chairman Kang's mother.
Chairman Kang was the boy from back then, Xiao Xin.
So? Aren't I amazing?
What's so amazing about you?
If we're talking about amazing people, it'd be Uncle Song for saving someone in the past, which brought this good fortune now.
Don't you think so?
You're really so bad at keeping a conversation.
Chairman Li, this time, I really can't make things worse for someone who needs help.
I'll help Lishi overcome this difficulty, in return for the kindness paid me in the past.
But in the future, Lishi's business operations are key in our cooperation.
Yes.
Chairman Kang, thank you very much for your help.
Don't worry. Once we've overcome the crisis,
Lishi Corporation will definitely repay you.
Ms. Ye truly has learned from Madam Jiang Xiuyun.
Whether as a partner or an opponent, I hope my choice wasn't wrong this time.
Young man, you're pretty good. I admire you.
You should return to Lishi. There will be even greater developments in the future.
I have a question I'd like to ask.
Can you tell me why Mengyuan initially withdrew their investment from Lishi?
It's because I received an anonymous letter.
It said that the stock fluctuation at the time
was a consequence of Chairman Li manipulating the share prices.
That can't be. I brought up Lishi with my two hands, and it's like my own child.
How could I do such a thing? And I wouldn't allow anyone else to do that either.
I also don't think it's possible. I don't believe that my father would do such a thing.
- There must have been some misunderstanding. - Yes.
Someone must have been trying to set me up.
Yilan, don't you think so?
Of course. Yuzhe,
you have to trust Uncle and trust me.
And I ask Chairman Kang, please trust in Lishi Corporation.
Don't worry. I didn't share this with anyone else.
Furthermore, I believe it must be a misunderstanding.
Chairman Kang, it's fortunate that you think that way.
I trust that our collaboration will allow Lishi and Mengyuan to go further.
Yilan, weren't you, I, and Madam Jiang the only ones who knew about the stock fluctuation?
How could the information have gotten out?
Whoever sent that letter was clearly making an attack on us.
If we don't get to the bottom of it, there will be trouble. Yilan...
Tell me the truth. Did your grandmother intentionally reveal this information
because she wanted to acquire the company?
It's not impossible,
but Grandma doesn't need to do something like that.
Although Yuzhe didn't find out about this plan,
I'm afraid we can't keep discussing the matter about the two of you.
Yilan, you'll have to put in more effort with Yuzhe.
I'll definitely put in effort,
but not with Yuzhe. Song Jiaming was the one to disrupt this perfectly good marriage.
I'll make sure she pays.
Boss!
The two of you... made up with smiles?
Boss, Yuzhe came to thank you.
Xiao Han, I really have to thank you for waking me up this time.
Me too. If not for your words,
I wouldn't have decided to help Yuzhe.
And everything with Granny Kang wouldn't have happened either.
Without her, Lishi Corporation would probably have...
Anyway, this unexpected recovery is all thanks to you.
You're saying
that Lishi Corporation has been saved?
What's wrong?
I'm just surprised. Things have really taken a turn. Congratulations, Yuzhe.
That's right.
I have to thank Jiaming.
She's the one who convinced Chairman Kang not to withdraw his investment.
Now, Lishi Corporation is safe,
and Madam Jiang won't have a chance to pour in her funds. The best of both worlds.
So, that means, this was all because of Jiaming.
Congratulations, Jiaming.
We should congratulate all of us. These are the fruits of all of our labor.
Alright, everything's taken care of now.
Xiao Han, let's have a meal together.
A lot of things have happened recently.
I think we should all take a break and celebrate.
I'll pass. I still have work to finish.
Next week's program is still whirling around in my head.
Do you need me to give you an awesome idea?
No, thanks.
You two should go celebrate. Hurry and go.
Okay, then we'll head out, boss.
- Bye. - Bye.
This can't be possible.
This was indeed a 'self-injury scheme' that Li Jianguo devised himself.
The e-mail revealing his plots indeed got sent to Chairman Kang's e-mail.
Chairman Kang also indeed withdrew his investments.
How did Jiaming get Director Kang to give in?
Xiaosun, continue keeping watch.
You must not miss any matter or secret information.
From now on if there is any worthy news,
I will give you 2 times the amount we agreed on.
Come in.
Manager Ye, these are the files that you wanted.
Okay, you can leave.
Your Song family really knows what orders to choose.
Annual party of the Cangshan Company...
This is a subsidiary company of Gooben.
Song Jiaming,
Since you like meddling into other people's business,
then I will let you taste
how it feels to be meddled by others.
Actually I have to thank you this time.
We have to thank Grandma Kang.
Oh no!
I forgot to tell Boss about show matters.
Jiaming.
Are you still backing out of the show?
Don't worry. Not giving up and abandoning is what my style is.
We are still good partners!
Let's go. I'll talk you somewhere.
- Old Song. - Hey, Old Huang.
This is the last of the raw ingredients. I'll drive my truck here later this afternoon
and directly deliver your finished products
to the annual party event.
Old Huang, thank you
for introducing such a huge business to me.
The heart of a parent in this world is really pitiful.
Aren't you doing this all for Jiaming?
I want to save more money for her marriage,
and then let her be married off in a grand manner.
Let me tell you, you will have good luck.
Thank you, thank you Mr. Huang.
Okay, I got to go.
- Okay then. - Take care.
Boss,
there are too much orders these past days. We don't even have the time to sleep.
My two eyelids kept arguing.
It is fighting.
But if this continues,
they will slowly reconcile. (eyes shutting down to sleep)
Then fine, you two rest first. I'll do it.
Boss, I am not tired at all.
I am also not tired, Boss.
These past days, you two have been working so hard.
Once we're done with this business, I'll give you two a bonus.
Bonus! Thank you, Boss!
Boss, bonuses are good.
Is this place beautiful?
This place for me is full of memories.
Only when I am alone will I come here.
Since I was little, regardless if it is a very happy encounter
or a very saddening matter,
I would come here.
Are you then happy or sad now?
What do you think?
This place is my secret garden.
Today, it is my first time to bring another person here.
Actually,
I will frequently dream of weeds when I have nightmares.
Because it was in a field of weeds that my mother left me.
I tried my best to chase after her,
- but she never turned her head back. - Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy! Mommy!
That's why, this became my worst memory.
Just completely forget those bad memories.
From now on, we will replace them with wonderful memories.
From now on,
if weeds will reappear in your dreams,
then think about today.
Maybe that person who will appear in your dream will be me.
Jiaming,
I have something to tell you.
Boss, how about it?
If we will have this kind of order every month,
in less than half a year, we can already open up a branch.
In a year, we can have multiple branches all over the country!
Shi-ke-er-zhi...
Boss, what do you mean by 'chi-ke-er-shi'?
It's 'shi-ke-er-zhi'!
It means that it is more or less enough already.
This way, I can earn enough money to look for my father!
So great!
Believe me.
We will be able to marry of Jiaming in a grand manner soon.
You also will be able to find your father soon.
Pengfei also doesn't need to keep living in his little house.
We will rent a bigger house.
You don't need to endure that Ms. Wu, anymore.
Our Songshi Fried Buns
will just sail with the wind and current (things going on very smoothly) and wealth will just be rolling in.
- Hello.- Hello.
Songshi Fried Buns.
You're Mr. Song Dezhong, right?
Right. Right.
I am the manager of Cangshan Company.
After our employees ate the food that you guys delivered in our annual party,
majority are experiencing vomiting and diarrhea.
Right now, all of them have been sent to the hospital.
The doctor's initial diagnosis was food poisoning.
You must bear responsibility for this matter.
Immediately come here to the hospital!
Boss...
Boss!
Boss, what's wrong?
- Something bad has happened. Let's go.
- Something bad has happened? - To the hospital. To the hospital.
What has happened?
Something bad has happened.
Kunjin, stay and watch the shop. I'll go with Boss.
Okay.
Jiaming, I want to thank you.
Without your help,
without those past good deeds that Uncle Song did,
there wouldn't be a turning point in this matter.
The financial crisis of my family wouldn't also have been solved that fast.
Maybe, I also might have been forced to make some choices.
It's fine.
You just want to tell me those?
One more thing.
Song Jiaming,
I seem to have fallen in love with you.
You are making jokes again. This joke is not funny at all.
This is not a joke.
Before, in my world, there is only cooking.
There are no feelings.
Until you appeared. You suddenly charged into my life.
And just for me, you dashed around madly and did so many stupid things.
I also can't explain when it really started.
I just noticed that I will frequently remember you.
I will miss you when I don't see you.
There are even times that just thinking about separating with you
will make my feel so unhappy like when I completely messed up my cooking.
I don't even know what was happening to me.
Tell me. What should I do now?
Since you saved me from the crisis of getting married for business interests,
why then won't you just help until the end?
Don't let me be alone anymore.
Help me.
I...how should I help you?
Be my girlfriend.
- What's going on? - No, please listen to me explain.
Our company is also at a lost why such a matter happened.
If you don't know, who knows? Look at what happened to my friend now?
- No, we are currently the hospital. She will be immediately be taken care of. - Look at how unwell she is now.
Mr. Song, it's good that you are here.
I'm telling you. The hospital has already tested the food samples.
It's really food poisoning from the germinating potatoes that you used.
Let me tell you, you must bear complete responsibility for this.
Potatoes? The potatoes were bought from Old Huang.
Right, let me tell you. Our shop is only tasked to process the ingredients.
The raw ingredients were from my friend. He delivered them to me.
His surname is Huang. He has been my friend for years. His ingredients never had any problems.
Let me call him.
The number you dialed does not exist.
Does not exist?
Okay already. Stop calling. Let me tell you,
if you are unable to contact this friend of yours,
you must bear complete responsibility for this food poisoning incident.
You must pay for the financial losses of the company and the psychological damages of the employees.
Wait a minute. I'll go look for other friends. We surely will be able to find him.
Hello.
- Have you seen Old Huang lately? - Jiaming,
there's trouble.
Hello. Jiaming.
Dad, Brother Pengfei said that there is trouble. What has happened?
Are you feeling unwell or something else?
No...there is no trouble.
It is just...that drainage in our house is clogged.
Don't listen to him. He is always being alarmed about trivial matters.
Dad, I have something to tell you.
Say it.
I seemed to have been confessed at.
Really?
It must be Yuzhe.
Then you two must try to get along well.
Whatever happens to my in the future,
- don't worry about me. - No...hurry!
I have always been...
that is I hope...
Boss! Boss!
Hello?! Father!
Are you alright?!
- Are you alright?! - Jiaming, hurry and come over here! Your dad is in danger.
Boss...
I already deposited the money to your account.
Just pretend to not know about this matter.
Take the money and find a place to hide for a while.
For the meantime, you must not have any communications with Song Dezhong.
- Understand? - I understand.
Ms. Ye, if I just leave like this,
Old Song then must bear full responsibility.
He must pay all the compensations.
He surely will end up in a wretched state.
I really feel guilty about it.
If you are feeling guilty about it,
why then did you agree before?
When I went to see you before, I said it very clearly
that the person I am targeting is Song Dezhong.
You agreed.
Now that you have done the matter and already took the money,
there is no need for you to bring trouble on yourself.
Is there anything else?
I understand. I understand.
Ms. Ye, can I privately give him some money?
After all, we have been friends for half our lives.
Don't worry.
Her daughter is very smart. She will help him resolve this matter.
If there is nothing else, you can leave now. Remember the words that I told you today.
- Yilan. - Mom!
How come you're still not off work at this late hour?
I came over to fetch you.
I will be going off work soon.
Mom, father won't be going home to eat tonight.
How about we go shopping?
It's been so long since I bought a new dress.
What matter is making you this happy?
Nothing.
My wish will be fulfilled soon.
About the problems at home...
Brother Pengfei already told me about it.
It's fine. Don't worry.
With me around, there are no problems that can't be solved.
No impassable obstacle.
What to do?
Such a big amount of money, how are we going to gather them?
Don't panic. Isn't it just money?
I can earn them. We would eventually find a way.
The only thing you should worry about now
is your own health.
Recuperate and just leave the rest to me.
Lanlan, what did you say earlier?
Song Jiaming even has such huge ability
to resolve the investment withdrawal problem?
She indeed has some abilities.
But don't you worry, her good days will be over soon.
What do you mean?
Her little restaurant accepted a huge order
but it led to numerous people getting admitted to the hospital for food poisoning.
Just the compensations is already a huge amount.
And this way, Song Dezhong won't be able to last long
and be forced to sell the house.
Let me see if this Song Jiaming will still have the nerve
to pester Yuzhe when that time comes.
I believe that this time,
Yuzhe will surely return to my side.
But Chairman Kang not withdrawing his investment now,
Uncle Li then will have no way to make Yuzhe agree with our marriage.
What to do, Grandma?
Don't worry, my darling.
It is indeed time to bang on that Li Jianguo.
Leave first.
Ms. Jiang, I must apologize to you.
The matter this time is totally coincidental. Nobody was expecting is.
Chairman Li, I so can understand what you are saying.
Business matters can always change in a moment.
Now that Mengyuan Corporation has already helped preserve the capital of your company,
I then feel that there is no more need to continue our collaboration.
No, Mengyuan was just able to gather enough money.
How can it compared to the retail store project of Gooben?
You are an elder in business world,
a superwoman.
If our corporation wants to progress, we still must rely on your care.
I do have a suggestion.
If right now, I want to create 100,000 luxury retail stores of Gooben,
do you still have the sincerity to continue working with us?
I do. I am full of sincerity.
But isn't there a saying that goes as
"Fattening water must not flow to the field of outsiders."
Since we both can see that this is a fattening meat,
our families then must first be one family.
That's right, that is also what I want.
I guarantee to you that no more mishaps will happen.
Boss Song,
if we don't pay this money immediately, there surely will be greater troubles in the future.
There will be legal battles.
Yes...
- Then I'm signing. - Okay.
You've signed already. Here, the money.
Here...
Okay than, Mr. Song. This way, your legal battle with Cangshan Company
can be considered to have ended.
- So sorry. - It's fine.
So great. So great. Resolved perfectly.
Mr. Song, I reckon
that if we just let you gather the money by yourself, you won't be able to come up with them so easily.
Good thing this manager introduced me to you.
I am a person that really likes to do charity works, to help others.
- Thank you. - Delivering fuel during the snow, such things.
Since your matter with him has ended,
the one left will be our matter.
But let me tell you,
this money that I lent you has a deadline.
If your payment is delayed,
then this amicable relationship of ours...
Mr. Gao, don't worry.
Right now, there are also a lot of people who owes my shop money.
I just was unable to gather that much money in a short time.
Once I have gathered enough money, I surely will pay you immediately.
Okay. Okay. No problem.
Go back now.
Fried buns.
Waiter, where is Old Song?
How come we haven't seen him for so many days?
Boss is sick.
Sick? What illness? Is it grave?
Grave. He is in the hospital and can't come home.
Kunjin, what nonsense are you saying? Go back to work.
Here.
Jiaming, you didn't tell Yuzhe about me owing money, right?
I didn't.
That's good then.
Jiaming, it's good that you didn't say it.
I am thinking that since you and Yuzhe might get married in the future,
you must no let his family know about I owing people money.
Or else, if you marry into their family,
you won't be able to raise your head to his family.
Don't worry. I will think of a way
and gather this money as soon as possible.
Dad, you are thinking too far. We haven't even been checked the compatibility of our birthdays.
But based on Yuzhe's personality, if this gets known by him,
he surely will think of a way to help us pay our debts.
That's why to ensure that the two of us won't be put in a difficult spot,
it's better to not let him know.
Anyway, don't worry about the money.
I surely will think of a way.
Wait for me here. I'll go process your discharge.
Getting discharged already?
I made some soup to bring to a friend that I'm visiting here.
Never thought that he has already died so how about you drink it instead?
You came to laugh at me?
What laugh? Your health is also quite poor.
You should nurture it more.
Don't exhaust yourself too much just to save dowry for your daughter.
My health is quite good.
I am only this old.
I must make good use of time and earn some more money.
It still must depend on your capacity, right?
Wanting to turn your daughter into a phoenix so you accepted some huge deal,
look, something bad has happened now.
You almost even lose half of your life because of it.
Don't say half of my life, even if it is my whole life, I am willing to sacrifice just for her.
Fine. If you want to die, no one will hinder you.
Go die.
Drink them first before you journey to your death.
Yuzhe.
Who told you to resign?
The company has already stabilized. There is nothing more to worry about.
I still have my own business to take care.
Your business?
Is being a chef can be considered a business?
You are my son.
Without me, you can't even be a chef.
Doing your duties for Lishi Corporation, moving and retreating with it,
is what your business should be.
I am indeed your son.
But I am not the son of Lishi Corporation.
Dad,
I have my own life. I must be able to not let my life down.
And also, I am not an accessory to your life.
Was it Song Jiaming? What trick did she do now?
What bewitching soup did she make you drink?
Without the help of Jiaming or Uncle Song,
the crisis of Lishi Corporation wouldn't have been resolved until now.
You taught me
that a person must have a heart to repay the good of others.
The Song family is actually our savior. We should be grateful to them.
You think that because Mengyuan cancelled their plan to withdraw their funding,
things would already be fine?
The future road of the company is still very long.
Who can guarantee that this kind of crisis won't happen again?
Elder Jiang already said it,
as long as you and Yilan get married, the huge project of Gooben Corporation
will become ours.
Dad, never thought that after going through so much,
you still haven't given up on this selfish thought.
When you asked me to get engaged last time, the reason I agreed was totally because of the company for I was left no choice.
Now that the company has gotten out of crisis,
are you still going to use my love life in exchange for money from the Ye family?
Love life? Do you know what love is?!
Love is what Yilan's true feelings are towards you.
Did you see it?!
You and Yilan marrying is entirely a good match of family background.
Only by doing that can we make your future path, the future path of our Li family,
more open and smooth.
The path you are saying is actually just the path that you want to walk yourself.
Thank you for preparing a path for me. But so sorry,
I only walk on the path that belongs to me.
Yuzhe!
Once you leave this door, you surely will regret it.
I will choose my own path.
I definitely won't regret it.
Li Yuzhe!
Yuzhe, you'd rather give up everything
than marry me.
Sit...
Kunjin, right?
- Hello. - Sister Jiaming has already told me about your situation.
How about this, why don't you have a meeting with me and my director?
Jiaming, if I guest on a show,
can I really find my father?
Of course.
If you rely on these little ads, in what lifetime will you be able to find him?
Don't worry. This show of ours has a high viewer ratings.
As long as your father watches the show, he surely will see you.
Then he surely will fly towards the TV station to look for you.
Don't worry.
Thank you.
Jiaming, you are my lucky star.
Hello.
Okay.
Jiaming, what's wrong?
Nothing. A guest is downstairs waiting for me.
You two then go to the meeting first. I'll look for you two later.
Sure. Okay.
Let's go then. Let's have a meeting.
Here.
Sorry.
You have nothing to apologize to me.
If it's about the wedding between me and Yuzhe, then the more you don't need to.
A marriage with only deals and no love, I don't really need it.
Quite the opposite, I should be the one thanking you.
Thank you for interfering and being able to save Lishi Corporation before the funding from Gooben arrived.
You especially invited me out today
just to say courteous words to me?
There is one thing that I think you would be interested to know.
I heard that you came from a single parent family.
Your mother left home when you were very little.
I think that this matter has nothing to do with you.
Sorry, I also don't like revealing other people's scars.
But I just feel that you must be very experienced in the pain
of getting separated from one's parent, right?
What really is it that you want to say?
Yuzhe has already resigned from the company today.
His relationship with his father has also totally turned hostile.
After this matter, I fear that it will be hard for them to reconcile anymore.
