[Episode 16]
After this, it will be hard to make up.
In the end, he's still his father.
Surely, you don't want them to cut off relations.
Of course, this isn't really news to you.
Ever since you appeared, there hasn't been a peaceful day in Yuzhe's family.
You're right. Yuzhe never told me about this.
- But this is a matter between Yuzhe and me. - I know.
I'm not trying to break you two up. I'm just worried about Yuzhe.
We grew up together, so I know him better than anyone.
Though his relationship with his father looks like it's never been that great,
but since the engagement, it's clear how important family is to Yuzhe.
I know that.
- I've never wanted Yuzhe to— - I want Yuzhe to really be happy.
Jiaming, even if it wasn't your intention,
you've created endless conflicts between Yuzhe and his father.
As long as you're wedged in the middle, Yuzhe won't be able to follow his family.
Or did you want him to know what it's like
to be separated from his family?
Alright, have some tea.
It's not worth getting sick because you're angry.
We can come up with another plan regarding the engagement.
Don't keep arguing with him. Does empty talk have any effect?
If I don't talk, am I supposed to hit him?
How are your only options talking or hitting? Did I tell you to hit our son?
I'm telling you to make that engagement ceremony happen.
Didn't Madam Jiang already say that she hopes the engagement can happen as quickly as possible?
Let's just listen to her and have the ceremony, to show how we're cooperating.
As for Zhiyu, I'll figure something out.
You know what our son's temper is like.
What if he doesn't go to the engagement ceremony? Wouldn't we lose tons of face from that?
How is it that you don't understand your son at all?
I know what his weakness is. I'll take care of it.
You just need to visit the old house and express our sincerity.
Got it?
Drive around and find out who else is involved with this house.
Yes, sir.
Ah! My leg! My leg's broken! Someone hit me!
My leg's been broken!
Is this how you drive?! Are you blind?!
- What's wrong with you? - What's wrong?
- What's wrong... 100,000 yuan. - 100,000?
You think you're a king?
I'm not doing this for no reason. You should know, this is my turf.
Hurry up and pay. If you don't, forget about leaving.
Chairman Li, should we report this?
Want to earn some money?
I'm a reasonable person. Your attitude seems okay,
so I won't argue with you.
Can you answer a few of my questions?
Song Dezhong moved here 20 something years ago.
I heard that, at the time, he'd been laid off in Ningbo, and then his wife left him too.
Without work, he couldn't stay there anymore.
So, without any other options, he brought his daughter and moved to Shanghai.
But boss, why are you worried about a small fry like Old Song?
Why are you asking?
Just do what I ask, and you'll get your money.
Okay.
Mother, this qipao was made with your measurements.
Wear it when we attend Yilan's engagement ceremony.
You'll definitely look brilliant.
Why don't you try it on? I'm worried it may be a bit tight.
Tight? What do you mean by that?
The measurements were taken, and the dress made, just last week.
Do you think I've gotten so fat in just one week that it won't fit now?
No, Mother, I didn't...
I didn't mean it that way. I meant that, considering your age, you've really taken care of yourself.
What about my age?
Just say it straight. Just say that I'm too old.
Really, just too old.
No, Mother, I didn't mean—
Hello? Jianguo, what is it?
Song Dezhong has that kind of past?
The stains on his body are increasing, so our chance of buying that house is also increasing.
Alright, then take care of it.
I'm busy now, so I won't chat with you.
Don't worry. I promise to spread the information you're telling me to spread.
I'll let all the people on this street know that Song Dezhong is a corrupt criminal.
And previously, he lent money to another shop.
That was definitely a bad investment, and his shop will collapse sooner or later.
Not bad. Do a good job and you'll get all your money.
But don't mention me or Gooben to anyone else.
Don't worry, I understand.
Boss, there's something I want to talk to you about.
Have a seat first.
What is it?
I was walking on the street when I heard the neighbors talking about you.
They said that before you came here...
What about it?
They said you falsified accounts, was corrupt, and did other bad things.
But I don't believe it. They must be starting rumors.
I-I... Corrupt?
I-I was laid off, not fired. Why would I be involved in corruption?
They also said they weren't going to eat here anymore.
And the money we loaned out...
It looks like the other shops don't plan on paying it back.
In my entire life, I, Song Dezhong, have never offended anyone.
Who's sullying me like this?
Whoever's doing it must be planning something.
The person who spread the rumors was Zhang Dafeng.
I heard him mention Gooben Corporation.
Did you do something to provoke them?
Gooben? What is Gooben Corporation?
Boss, the problematic annual event job that we accepted seems to be also related to Gooben Corporation.
Looks like Gooben Corporation has some kind of feud with us, to force us to such a state!
But I don't even know them. Why are they trying to harm me?
Pengfei, watch the shop. I'm going to go talk to the people at Gooben Corporation.
Boss.
Gooben?
- Hello? - Jiaming.
Something bad's happened. The boss is heading over to Gooben Corporation to argue, and I'm worried something bad will happen.
- Stop! - Let go of me!
I want to see your boss!
Our boss? If you don't have an appointment, he won't see you.
If you keep making a scene here, we'll report you to the police.
Chairman Ye, the madam will be here soon.
Are you this company's boss?!
- I don't know who you are. - Why are you trying to get my money?!
- Let go of me. - I'm asking why you're attacking me like this!
- Changhai, are you okay? - I'm fine. Someone's causing trouble. I don't even know him.
He said I'm stealing his money and slandering him. There are too many madmen in this world.
- Here we are. - Let's see what tasty food Daddy made.
Where are you going now?
- Why do you care?! - And where did you go last night?
- Sign it.
Chen Nan, let's not get divorced.
Chen Nan, I'll change. I'll change.
Mommy, don't go!
Chen Nan!
Dad!
Let go of him!
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
What is it?
Nothing.
- What are you doing all the way here? - I was looking for you.
Why did you come here by yourself to fight with them?
It's pointless trying to reason with these heartless rich people.
What if something bad happened and you got hurt?
They've gone too far.
I know. Pengfei already told me about it.
Just leave this to me.
You can't get involved in this. Stay out of it.
Dad.
Let's go.
Let's go home.
Boss, what did the people at Gooben say?
I'm sure they denied it. Have you ever seen a villain do something bad and admit it?
Why would Gooben Corporation
have to do something like this?
It's not good to offend the rich.
He must have offended someone.
This won't do. I have to investigate and get to the bottom of this!
I want justice for our shop!
Jiaming, what did you say?
Dad, look at how they're bullying us. I'm going to have the station's reporters reveal their evil deeds!
No.
Jiaming, don't get involved in this.
I'll figure out how to deal with it. But you, stay out of it.
I can't just watch idly by as someone bullies out family!
I said that you can't get involved!
And, from today, just go to work diligently.
- Stop coming to this shop. - Dad, what's going on with you?
Just go!
Mom, regarding Song Dezhong,
could it have been you who spread the rumor about it?
What?
Even a low level gossip like that can reach your ears?
Who told you about it? Don't forget that
I offered a huge amount for that old house.
Didn't Song Dezhong refuse it? He was too arrogant.
This is called reaping what he sowed.
Say, you are just too kind, such a good-for-nothing.
Don't worry. I know my limits with that Song Dezhong.
As long as he will obediently yield the old house,
I won't do anything to him.
You just need to be in charge of holding Lanlan's house
and bring her inside the wedding ceremony venue.
Father told me to inform you that once the engagement ceremony is done, the two party can already sign the partnership contracts.
But before that, there are still some things that needs to be done.
After the plummeting of the stocks before, the hearts of shareholders are a bit uneasy.
Especially on the high end building that we just finished, a lot of unit owners are protesting.
That's why, I am thinking that since it's almost the company's anniversary, I suggest to use it as a reason
to create a high end dessert gift box.
Give them to the shareholders and unit owners.
Second, we can rouse their feelings for the company and stabilize their confidence.
You thought about it so well.
It's settled then.
You choose the gift box.
Okay.
How about it? This order is not a small one. It can greatly increase the sales of your restaurant.
And also, the fight between you and Uncle Li last time was too fierce.
Do you really want to not have any interactions with your father anymore?
Accept this order and it's like accepting his offer to give you a step to lower down your pride. You surely will appreciate this favor from him, right?
Let us not mention about my family problem. Is that okay?
No matter how opposed you two are to each other, you are still father and son.
Since I am going to accept it, I will seriously take responsibility to this order, no matter who the client is.
Okay, I know. You are the most rational person.
But I feel that if we make the gift boxes just purely Western desserts, the kind is too onefold and too simple.
Why not just make the gift boxes a merging of Western and Eastern desserts. This way, you have exquisite Western desserts and nostalgic old-Shanghai flavor. Two birds with one stone.
Moreover, I feel that to pacify the shareholders and unit owners,
a nostalgic style is the most appropriate. This is called using sentiments to move people.
Sure. That is very novel.
But do you have a chef that can make Chinese desserts here in your restaurant?
Just right. I know a snacks shop in Shanghai with very good reputation.
I hope to work in collaboration with them for this order.
The one you are talking about is Song Jiaming's shop, right?
Yuzhe, you accepted this order so heartily can't be because of her, right?
- Yilan. - Aren't you not separating work from private life?
I know that you two are show partners. But you cannot treat this order as some child's play.
You know how important this anniversary commemoration is.
Yilan,
it's not what you think. Business is business. I've taste the desserts made by Jiaming's shop.
I only chose theirs based on trying to give an assorted type of dessert box.
Don't you believe my judgment as a head chef?
Okay, I'll listen to you.
Boss, there are not even one customer.
This cannot continue. The shop will die.
Boss...
Boss.
I'll try to promote deliveries. We might be able to earn money from the white collar employees during lunch time.
Head Chef Li, why did you come here again?
I didn't come as a customer today.
I came as a prospective partner.
Please make way.
Uncle Song.
Ones, tens,
hundreds, thousands, ten thousands...
I don't know how to count the succeeding ones. But I know...
huge business. We can repay our debts.
Head Chef Li, are you sure that you are going to partner with us?
Of course. Regarding Chinese desserts, you are the expert.
For the quintessence of this dessert, I need you to add a touch to it to bring it to life.
Based on aspiring to have a high quality dessert gift box, I feel that there won't be a second choice other than you.
Boss, the amount is too great. Will we be able to handle it?
Just right. Our business recently is a bit slow.
We usually do these Chinese desserts for our neighbors and friends in the vicinity during new year and holidays.
How about this?
You two be my assistant. I will be the quality check. Let us do overtime and we surely will be able to make them.
Head Chef Li,
we are accepting this business. Don't worry. We surely will give you the best Chinese style desserts.
Thank you. I am looking forward to it.
No...it should be me thanking you.
You really have delivered as much needed fuel during this snowy times.
I think that the person we should thank the most is Jiaming.
You already know about the situation of our shop?
I am guessing that your pride must have felt hurt because of what I've done.
Am I right?
I really can't understand why you must make yourself be some warrior.
As a man, I would still need the help of others when I get in trouble. I don't really care about my pride.
How come you are being this narrow-minded?
Can't you be flexible?
What did you say?
Do you still remember this?
Although you kept frowning,
I don't want to owe you anything. Paying back a little is a little.
Take it!
What time is it already?! Kept wanting to keep your pride will only make you suffer!
I remember that time was the hardest financial times of my restaurant.
Yet you were able to bring out all your savings to help me. I really was moved by it.
Sorry, I had so much drink that day and took out the wrong one.
No matter if you have handed me the wrong one,
did you ever consider that you will be hurting my pride when you helped me?
That you will make me feel embarrassed?
I...did it for your own good.
That's right then. To tell you the truth, I didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Because I know
that you are giving out all your savings to help me exactly so I won't embarrass myself to others.
The past me
doesn't really look forward to love because I have never felt how wonderful it is.
But after meeting you, I slowly understood
how everything that has happened are beyond comprehension.
Admiring, caring, loving dearly,
and worrying
about another person
would actually be such a wonderful feeling. It's like dreaming.
Jiaming,
I like you.
No matter what happens, I want to continue walking forward with you. I want to know the most honest thoughts of your heart.
Are you willing to be with me?
♫ 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? ♫
Sorry.
I temporarily still can't.
What's wrong?
I also want to be with you...
but not yet now.
Yuzhe, give me some more time.
Once I have helped my father rebuilt his shop, only then will I consider my love life. Is that okay?
Okay, I will keep waiting for you.
- Hello. - Hello. Hello.
- Sit. - Thank you. Thank you.
Our editor-in-chief is very satisfied with the picture you took last time.
He is also very interested with the design workshop you are managing.
Hope that we can further work together from now on.
No problem. No problem. Don't you worry. I surely will do my best.
But we have an additional request. Of course, this for you is just an easy thing.
Our editor-in-chief is very satisfied with the qualities of this model.
He insists that you must use this model in the succeeding activities that you will join.
That is his only condition.
What? Is there a problem?
Nothing. No problem.
Your taste is really so great.
This model is very outstanding.
So sorry. I'll just go to the bathroom.
What should I do?
Sit.
Let me tel you all. My dancing skills might not be the best.
But among all the men here, aren't I the manliest?
The problem is despite being this manly, I get suffocated everyday because of 3 women.
- Three? - What are you all thinking?
These 3 women are high grade mother, my high grade older sister, and my high grade grandmother.
Really...
All are really sad stories. Let me tell you guys--
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hey, Yixuan, it's me.
- That...I want to-- - I know that it's you.
- Why are you calling me? Want me to be your model? Forget it. - No such thing.
I am simply and purely just want to apologize to you.
Apologize? Who apologizes on the phone?
It's fine with me to apologize to you in person. Just give me a chance. Can I see you now?
If it is not in person, I won't be able to see your sincerity.
Right...I should apologize in person. Can l go over there to see you now?
No need. No need. Tomorrow morning, 10 am, at the huge grass area of the Jiexin Garden.
Remember to wear something pretty.
Okay, no problem!
Son, I prepared you some bird's nest soup to nourish your health.
So you can have good skin.
- Mom. - Yes?
- You have something to ask of me, right? - Jeez, you little ingrate.
Oh, just because I cooked you bird's nest soup, I already have a favor to ask from you?
Don't know who kept saying that she wants to take care of her nails
that's why she never cooks.
How come I gave birth to such a smart son like you?
Fine, let me be honest with you. This Saturday, accompany me out.
If it is to shop, I feel that it's better to let Yuxi accompany you.
Do I need you to accompany me if it's shopping?
It's like this. The French branch of our Mike's fans club will be coming here to Shanghai.
I am the representative of our Chinese group but my French is not that good.
Be my interpreter then.
But really have a lot to do lately.
Oh, your mother is now inferior to a menu?!
- Fine, I won't trouble you anymore. - Hey, mom.
Don't leave first. I wasn't finished with what I am saying.
I indeed am quite busy lately. But no matter how busy I am, my mother's matter will always be my priority.
I must go.
- Really? - Yes.
So great. I just know that you will accept my request.
Here. Hurry and drink this bird's nest soup.
How did it go? Did he agree?
If I intercede, will it still fail?
Don't worry. He surely will obediently come with us to the hotel.
What if he turns hostile against us on site, what would we do?
Impossible. Do I not know my son well?
Before, you kept going against whatever he does that's why he kept contradicting you.
Yuzhe is open to persuasion, but not to coercion. By that time, we just need to fool him into going to the hotel
and then beg him. In front of so many people, you think he will embarrass us?
He would not embarrass us?
Didn't that 'self-injury trick' of yours last time work?
This time, it is a plot within a plot.
This guy's Chinese is improving.
It's that Thai guy again?
His name is Kunjin. He came to Shanghai to look for his father.
He got me an autograph of Mike so I gave him a new shirt. Just that simple.
Lessen your interaction with such kind of person.
You should put your focus into the wedding of your son. Make sure nothing will go bad.
- I know already. - And also, convince your daughter to come back.
Don't worry. She would return once she used up all her money.
Don't drink my water.
Xiaoli, she didn't reply. Could it be the number was wrong?
That can't be. I just texted the number you gave me.
Hey, return the phone to me.
Why are you meddling with the business of a married couple? What are you? Are you a third party?
Okay already. You sent a message. Pay up.
Uncle Kunjin just texted one message. You are not even letting a cent go?
Why won't I take it? Do you know that you need 10 bottles to exchange for a cent?
Auntie Wu, since Angelic Auntie still hasn't reply, how about this?
I'll give you one yen. I'll text one message everyday. How about it?
Am I China Mobile? I'm going to give you a monthly plan?
There is a plan that's way economical than a monthly plan. Wait a minute.
Auntie Wu, you really a good person. You even gifted me a cellphone.
Who gave you a cellphone? You must pay for it, okay? It's ¥500.
Let me tell you, this cellphone is equipped with all kinds of features. It won't break even if you drop it several times. Very easy to use.
Didn't you just pick this cellphone up within the pile of trash?
I heard that you also got picked up from a pile of trash. Have you heard about that?
- If you don't want it, then just forget it. - I want. I want.
But...
- I don't have money. - I just know that you don't have any money.
Pay it in installments. If you really don't have any money, then go pick up trash.
Bring them to me. Anyway, in 3 to 5 years, there will be enough to pay for it.
Okay.
Hello, what do you want to eat?
Hello. [Lishi Corporation]
I just came to look at what kind of desserts shop is about to make a collaboration with us.
Uncle Song, nice to meet you. I am Ye Yilan.
Ms. Ye, I don't know what have happened between you three.
But I can see that Jiaming and Yuzhe are really in love with each other.
Love is dependent on fate.
Never thought that the Chinese desserts shop that Yuzhe guaranteed about
is this quality.
What do you mean?
You are saying that Yuzhe used his position to take a shortcut for us?
Of course. Or else, you think it is possible that a small shop like yours will be able to accept an order from us?
Fine. We won't accept this order anymore, okay?
Don't put Yuzhe in a difficult spot.
Don't misunderstand. I never judge people by external appearance and never just look on the superficial part.
Since Yuzhe was so supportive of your little shop, then he surely has his reasons.
I surely won't take back this order. Moreover, this Saturday, Yuzhe and I will be engaged already.
Why would I make things difficult for my fiancé?
You and Yuzhe are engaging again?
But Yuzhe is with Jiaming now.
Uncle Song, for people with our background, love and marriage are 2 different things.
For those love affairs, our family can just ignore it.
But when it comes to marriage, we will only choose the ones that will be compatible with our background.
As for those people who kept sticking themselves to us, they will only destroy their reputation.
What nonsense are you saying?!
Let me tell you, you are not allowed to slander my Jiaming like that!
If you are afraid to have such bad reputation, then better stop now.
Oh, right, I hope you can keep our talk tonight a secret. Knowing to retreat in face of adversities is what a smart person will do.
Only with this can we preserve the dignity of everyone.
Goodbye, Uncle Song.
- Hi. - Hello, Yixuan. I'm here. Where are you?
Don't rush. I will be there soon.
I can't see you.
Ah...I saw you already.
- Where are you? - Move to the east a little.
Move east?
- Continue moving east. - Continue moving east.
Go up the stairs.
Go to the middle of that open space.
Right...exactly there.
But I still can't see you.
Don't move! Just wait there. I'll immediately go over there.
You...don't play tricks on me.
Li Yuxi, I usually don't hold grudges.
- What? - Usually, when I have any grudge, I will already take revenge right there and then.
What do you mean?
Wow!
This is a fountain! This is totally an art!
Do you feel more awake after taking a bath?
Looks like you really planned to pull a trick on me today.
Didn't you just become a dog that fell into the water?
- What dog? - Oh, sorry...
It's that...chicken that fell into the soup. It suits you more.
Now that you have vented your anger, are you already satisfied?
- Already happy? - I still haven't had enough fun yet.
Didn't you just get wet? Don't you know how wretched I was walking around naked last time?!
Just saying a few apology and you already think you can comfort my child-like heart?
It is already not bad that I didn't let you dance in a public square naked and you still think of asking for my help?!
Dream on.
If not because the magazine insists that they want you,
you think I will come to beg you?
Say it. What condition do you really want before you will agree to be my model?
Since that is the case, let us make it even. A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Wear a garbage bag, follow the path I took last time, and make a round of naked walk. Or else, no room for discussion.
A'Cong.
- Sister Jiaming, you're here. - I am looking for you head chef.
- He is inside. - Okay.
Come over here.
Help me taste it.
This dessert...
- You don't like it? - No.
It's just very different from your style.
The cuisines you make before are very high and lofty. It lacks warmth.
But this one looks very warm, very homey, like the ones made by parents.
Actually, this dessert is called 'Yule log'. It is a French traditional dessert.
Every Christmas, people in France will go home to reunite with their family.
They will cut logs in the forest and put them in the fireplace.
The fireplace must be kept lit since Christmas eve for 12 hours.
At this time, the whole family will gather
and will be eating the cake, drinking red tea, and chat.
This way, they can dissipate the cold and improve their relations.
Since the dessert gift box this time for the unit owners of the building,
I then hope that they can feel the peace and happiness within everyday life from this cake. That way, I have already reached my goal.
So delicious.
I like this taste and also that story.
If I am able to subdue your taste, then it means I have already subdued a majority of people.
Ms. Ye.
- Is Yuzhe around? - He is. He and Jiaming is in the back kitchen.
