Episode 33
Over the recent years,
more and more tourists are coming to our village.
But, these tourists...
litter all over the place...
and destroy the tea estate.
Old Man Li...
goes to the tea estate every day...
to pick up the trash.
He even wrote a petition to the village committee.
He said that this is an eco-tea estate...
and that we must protect it.
He requested to place...
one trash can in every 20 m in the tea estate.
He also proposed...
to have all villagers...
guard the tea estate together.
Look.
This is the petition he wrote.
Isn't this a good thing?
Actually,
it's not that we're not willing to sign.
It's just that Old Man Li...
always talks to us with a long face.
It's like he's a debt collector.
What do we owe him?
-Exactly. -Exactly.
If he could talk nicely,
I would have signed for him.
-Exactly. -Right?
I see.
By the way,
what are your hobbies?
For example, do you like to dance or listen to music?
Chairman Wang.
-Hello. -Hello.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
I heard from them that...
the last time you came, you waited all afternoon.
The lady at the front desk told me that you were busy.
She's a clueless newcomer.
No matter how busy I am,
I can't keep a famous writer like you waiting.
I read your new book.
It's well written.
We can publish it.
Really?
What's the title again?
"Super Sense".
Right. "Super Sense".
That's not a good title.
Why?
No one can relate this title to you.
Change it to your old style...
and it'll sell well.
Chief Editor Yang.
I waited so long because I wanted to change my style.
I won't make any changes to the title or content.
If you insist,
it's no deal.
Did you read my book?
Is there no room for negotiation at all?
Let me be honest with you.
It's risky to publish your book.
Your conflict with your previous publisher...
got so serious.
Everyone in the industry knows.
To publish your book, I've to apologize to them first.
I need to hit a revenue of RMB 50 million this year.
If you want me to help you, don't you have to help me too?
I'm sorry.
I can't help you.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Hao Wu Yi?
What a pleasant surprise!
Long time no see.
It's you again, bothersome girl.
I asked my ex-colleague in the TV station to help me...
get 3 pieces of Fei Yu-ching's autographs.
I shouldn't have wasted so much time on them.
It's your attitude problem.
I could tell that he was actually quite pleased.
Yet, he gave off bad vibes...
that drives people away.
Why is he so stubborn?
Don't worry.
I've compiled a list of famous Chinese nutritionists.
If he rejects us, we can approach another nutritionist.
We'll eventually find a way.
There's no need for that.
I'm sure I can convince him.
Why are you so confident?
Because he's just like you.
He's just like you.
Both of you are never honest about your feelings.
You look extremely tough on the outside,
but the truth is, you're very sensitive.
I know you people too well.
How well do you know us?
Right?
The noodles are ready.
Mo Mo.
My meeting with that company went well.
Chairman Wang is keen to invest in our product...
given that we release the diet app alongside the wristband...
as the key selling point.
Any answers from Prof. Li?
I plan to stay for 2 more weeks.
If he still doesn't agree,
I'll approach other nutritionists in Shanghai.
That's my Plan B.
Don't worry.
Hello? Can you hear me?
Hello.
Hello?
I don't have good signal here.
-Hello? -Yan Mo!
Prof. Li...
Prof. Li is in trouble.
Put me down! I don't need you to carry me!
Put me down!
I can walk by myself!
You went into the tea estate alone in the middle of the night.
You're lucky someone passed by and saw you.
Otherwise, you'll be eaten up by wolves.
Nonsense! There's no wolf in a tea estate!
Where's your common sense?
Put me down, okay?
Are you okay?
Should we take you to a hospital tomorrow and film it?
I'm not going anywhere!
-You bothersome girl! -Slow down.
This place is slippery. Slow down.
Prof. Li, do you have ice cubes here?
No.
Qiao Yi, go to the fridge and look for cold water.
Bring me a towel as well.
The two of you can go back now.
Leave me alone.
This isn't the time to be stubborn.
Prof. Li.
Do you feel better now?
Yan Mo stayed up to make this splint for you.
You can walk better with this.
Not bad.
I made noodles for you.
Try it.
Do you like it?
Chairman Wang.
You're...
I'm sorry.
I'm transferred back to the headquarters in the US.
You called, Prof. Li?
Come here and eat.
I don't want to be indebted to you two.
Finish the food and leave.
Bothersome girl.
My name is Zhao Qiao Yi.
Prof. Li, he's Yan Mo.
I'm Zhao Guan Chao's little sister.
Zhao Guan Chao?
You mean that stupid brat...
who stole my student's heart?
He...
He's just my...
distant cousin.
I know what you two are up to.
You plan to keep on bothering me...
until I agree to help you.
Dream on.
We already told you from the start.
So, there's nothing we can do about it.
We can only try to move you with our sincerity.
I've never seen anyone as shameless as you two.
I can tell that you're a smart man.
Can't you do something about her?
I'm bankrupt.
I've no choice but to listen to her.
Eat up and leave.
Read carefully.
Here.
Alright.
Alright. See you, Li.
See you, Li.
What?
You expect me to feed you?
You looked so serious.
What were you thinking about?
I feel like something's missing from the app.
Like what?
I don't know yet.
You're just too hard on yourself.
What is this?
Granny Wang's radio is broken.
I told her you can fix it for her.
What makes you think that I can fix it?
Isn't this your field of expertise?
I studied electronic engineering.
I'm a programmer.
I even borrowed the tools.
I knew you can do it.
I knew there's nothing you can't do.
He finally got what he wanted.
At last, more than half of the villagers signed the petition.
He got into a fight again in today's meeting.
Why?
Because he proposed to classify the garbage.
Wait.
Young man, can you read?
This is for other trash.
This is for harmful waste.
This is for recyclable materials.
That's right.
He's kind of cute sometimes.
Qiao Yi.
Come to my place for lunch today.
We'd like to thank Yan Mo for fixing our stuffs.
Everyone will be there.
Okay. Thank you, auntie.
Old Man Li!
You're invited too!
I've no time for that!
Can't you see I'm busy?
Forget it then.
What time?
Why not come to my place?
I live alone and I have a lot of space in my house!
Your house is so cramped.
Are you sure you want to invite them to your place?
Let's just leave him alone.
Let's go.
Here we go.
Here's the last dish.
The last dish.
-Let's eat. -Let's eat.
-All dishes have been served.
Go ahead and eat.
It's so delicious.
This is different from the food outside.
Of course. I have a secret recipe.
I'll teach you someday.
Okay.
Qiao Yi.
I made this.
Try it.
It's delicious too.
Eat more if you like it.
My son is in Shanghai.
He misses this dish so much.
But he doesn't get to eat it.
My daughter is even father away.
She married an American.
My son lives nearby.
But, he only comes back with his wife...
once in a year.
Youngsters today...
don't want to stay in the countryside.
Only old people like us are left here.
Right.
I heard you're working on some high tech stuff.
Not really.
It's a software that helps...
generate a menu based on the user's physical condition.
I came up with this idea.
Can you do it?
He'll do it. He's really good. There's nothing he can't do.
Is that so?
Come.
Eat.
-That's enough. -Don't be shy.
Don't be shy.
Try it. It's really good.
Home-cooked meals are not like sandwiches.
They are full of human touch.
What did you say?
Home-cooked meals are not like sandwiches.
They are full of human touch.
Maybe he has a phone call.
Yes. Let's eat.
Let's eat.
-Hello. -Add an interactive forum.
What?
Encourage users to upload their own recipes...
to form a sharing community.
Then through our built-in system,
we automatically recommend daily recipes.
I want human touch on top of fitness...
to make it truly customer-oriented.
Are you talking about the diet app we put on hold?
Okay. I got it.
Anything else?
Add voice control to the wristband...
to maximize the user-friendliness.
A voice system?
Isn't that unnecessary? It's such a hassle.
Not at all. This is your job. Think of something.
Okay. I got it.
Idol, I'm waiting for you to come back.
I want to adjust our direction...
and accommodate the senior citizens as well.
Mo Mo.
Something came up over here.
Chairman Wang has been transferred back to the headquarters.
The new CEO came in yesterday.
He doesn't plan to consider investing in...
small IT companies like ours.
Any other options?
I contacted many companies prior to this.
Because of the public opinion on what happened to us,
they are all hesitant.
The only company that showed interest...
was them.
Alright.
Mo Mo.
It's okay.
-I'm sorry. -It's okay.
You tried your best.
Yan Mo.
I'd like to be alone.
That bothersome girl is worried sick.
But she didn't dare to talk to you.
So this old man...
will have to be nosy this time round.
This is such a wonderful tea estate.
My grandpa was a tea farmer.
My father too.
I grew up here.
I was the first in the village to attend a university.
Sadly,
they'll never know...
what I really do.
They think I'm a chef.
Nutrition...
seems to have nothing to do with anything apart from food.
Back then,
I often felt lonely.
The more I advanced,
the stronger the feeling of loneliness.
It was like walking on a long and narrow road.
It's never-ending.
Everyone is pushing themselves to move forward.
In this industry,
I managed to reach the summit...
not because of passion...
or pursuit of romance.
It was because I never surrendered.
Since I was a child,
people always say to me,
"Yan Mo,
put down your book and go play outside."
I only slept 4 hours a day.
In Grade 10,
I started learning things in Grade 12.
I aimed to get a perfect score for every subject.
Sometimes, I felt stressed out.
Sometimes, I felt like...
I didn't work hard enough.
Even if you put in 100% of effort,
you'll still fail.
Have you ever failed?
Of course. Many times.
You need to put in 120% of effort...
to get up from where you fell.
Then, you'll fall and get up again.
You'll spend your entire life competing against yourself.
It's so difficult to be successful.
Sometimes, I exhaust myself...
to overcome a hurdle...
and before I could take a breather,
I realize that there's a bigger hurdle ahead.
That's why it's not easy to attain success.
Once you set a goal,
you must put all your heart and soul into it.
Never find it unfair or complain.
You can only spend your life pursuing breakthroughs.
Only two animals...
can reach the peak of the pyramid.
The eagle and the snail.
Most of us are snails.
So, we've no rights to be lazy.
I will keep that in mind.
Never be lazy.
Who is it?
Who gave you the permission to touch my bananas?
Put it down!
Look who's here.
Isn't this the miserable Fei Da Chuan?
What's the matter?
Are you here to beg for my help?
Call me daddy.
I need a new janitor.
Look at your funny fur coat.
You're still acting like a big shot?
What did you...
This is a handmade coat from Italy.
What do you know?
Enough. Stop.
You can get it for RMB 500 in the market.
Only fools like you get cheated.
I don't care. I've the money.
Now shoot and get lost.
I'm here to save you.
Are you still dreaming?
Stop pretending.
You only learnt the basics.
You don't have our core technology.
Your capital chain is about to rupture, right?
But it's okay.
I can help you.
You've the wristband...
and we've the technology.
Our collaboration...
is the only way out.
Okay. I agree.
However,
you need to get something done for me.
-Bring it on! -Bring it on!
I only have one question!
Can you let me win once?
Okay.
Okay. Throw it in.
Okay. Where should bottles go to?
-Here. -That's right.
That's right. What a good girl.
Prof. Li.
You came again, bothersome girl.
We're here to say goodbye.
We won't bother you anymore.
What?
You're leaving?
We're departing tomorrow morning.
We're sorry for bothering you.
Okay. Leave already.
I'm sick of seeing you two.
Come to my place for dinner tonight.
You can leave after that.
Are you ready?
Cool!
I finally won!
When are you two leaving tomorrow?
We're taking the bus at 3 pm.
I'm coming along.
Don't you want me to be your consultant?
What is this?
Did you approach someone else?
No.
You can advise us from here.
You don't have to take the trouble to go all the way to Beijing.
Trouble?
Are you looking down on nutrition studies?
What is the right calorie intake for every situation?
How do we proportion protein, fats, vitamins and carbs?
Do you understand all that?
If I'm going to be a part of this,
I must take full responsibility.
We'll do as you say.
Prof. Li.
Why did you go to the tea estate that day?
I went to visit my love.
It was my wife's death anniversary.
She chose to be buried under a tree.
On that day every year,
I'll go up to the mountain to spend some time with her.
How long has it been since she left?
Two years and 45 days.
She left...
and took my heart away.
I don't feel like doing anything anymore.
I understand.
You don't understand.
You youngsters...
don't understand relationships in my generation.
I'm the son of a tea farmer.
Her family is full of educated people.
Without her,
I wouldn't be able to go to a university.
Loving someone...
can often change your destiny.
Do you still remember...
what you said to me when we first met?
I don't remember.
Beatles.
It's The Beatles.
It's about the same.
You need to be precise.
You were so cold to me back then.
When did you start...
liking me in secret?
I'm not telling you.
Why can't you tell me?
I'll tell you next time.
Why don't you think of a name for the app?
Shouldn't you name it yourself?
It's your idea.
"For You".
An app just for you.
Alright.
You don't want to know the reason?
Loving someone changes your life.
I work and study hard...
to become a better person little by little.
I came this far because of you.
Thank you for making me the person I am today.
I love you...
and the present me.
Are you sure you can do it?
Can you?
Thank you.
You're welcome.
That was the first time we talked.
It was earlier than she thought.
While dad's away,
you must protect mom.
If a man you don't know comes,
don't open the door for him.
Understand?
Good boy.
Six months ago,
we released our wristband in collaboration with Cheng Ye.
Our product was well-received.
We've regained many people's trust.
It's that useful?
Here's your coffee.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
What's wrong?
My girlfriend bought this wristband for me.
It says my heart rate isn't normal.
It's telling me to go to the hospital.
Then you should go. You can take a half-day off.
-Really? -Yes. Go.
Thank you. See you.
With the help of Prof. Li,
we successfully released For You.
Apart from recipes,
I plan to work on an organic farm.
Have you reached the airport?
I just arrived.
"Don't open the door to strangers"? What does that mean?
Take it literally.
You're home alone and I'm worried.
I'm not a child.
I wish you're a child.
Then I can take you along wherever I go.
I don't want to follow you.
If everything goes well,
I'll be back on Saturday.
There's no hurry.
You can stay for a few more days.
I want to spend the weekend with you.
How do you want to spend the weekend?
Do we watch a movie?
You can decide.
It's getting late. Finish your breakfast and get going.
There's sandwiches in the fridge.
The milk that's been unsealed has expired. Don't drink it.
You drank it already?
No.
Next time, I'll put a note on the fridge that says...
"Look at the expiry date before you eat."
You received a parcel this morning?
Who's Wang Jian Guo?
I changed your name to that.
Why?
To make the deliveryman believe that there's a man here.
I...
I'm boarding the plane.
Hello.
Here are your parcels.
Li Sheng Li. Wang Zi Qiang. Shen Da Yong.
Do they all live here?
We're a big family.
Okay. I'll leave them here.
Just leave them here.
Thank you.
Okay.
Dao Er, is your dad stupid?
Over here.
Sweetheart, did you bring it?
Here you go.
I'm starving.
In order to fit into this dress,
I starved myself last night.
Watch your manners. It's your book signing.
No one came anyway.
This is my editor, Deng Li.
It's all thanks to her that I managed to make a comeback.
Hello. I'm Zhao Qiao Yi.
Thank you.
Hello. I'm just doing my job.
Hao Wu Yi.
Put that down.
I'll just have one.
That won't do.
You don't eat and sleep at regular hours...
and you eat a lot of junk food.
You've high cholesterol even though you're so skinny.
Guan Chao forced me to get a check-up.
Take my advice, Qiao Yi.
Never get a doctor boyfriend.
What are you saying?
I don't want it either.
But, it's too late.
Hao Wu Yi!
Hao Wu Yi! I finally got to see you!
Can I have your autograph please?
How many copies did they print?
Thirty thousand.
Thirty thousand?
She said the demand isn't that high anymore.
This is so little compared to her previous works.
In the past, they'd print at least 500,000 copies.
She was rejected many times...
before she met this editor.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Hao Wu Yi?
What a pleasant surprise! Long time no see.
I'm Deng Li. I was in Wenxi Books.
Don't you remember?
You debuted with an online novel...
and I was the first editor who contacted you.
You agreed to sign a contract with my company.
But you stood me up.
You later on told me that...
our company was too small for you...
and that you were too lazy to get up early and meet me.
I'm sorry.
I was young and ignorant.
It's okay. Only a person with a special personality like you...
can write good books.
I've heard about what happened.
It's okay. As long as you still have the power,
no one can stop you from getting back up.
Do you still work in a publishing company?
I've set up my own publishing company.
It's just a small company.
This is my new book.
Do you have time to read it?
-How old are you? -I'm 21.
-Have you found a job? -Not yet.
We're so envious of you. You can make money from home.
Don't envy me.
I became a writer because I couldn't get a job.
Hao Wu Yi, you're my favourite writer.
Your book got me through Grade 12.
Many people say that your book isn't good anymore.
But I still love it.
You're sticking to being yourself.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
I really love your new book.
If you go back to your old style,
I might stop reading your books.
Because we've all grown up.
Thank you.
Not bad.
I signed 200 books today.
I thought only a few would come.
I'm so unlucky.
I thought I found a rich girlfriend.
You kept man.
It's too late to regret it.
Go back without me.
I've a discussion with my editor.
Alright. See you.
-Let's go. -Bye.
-Bye.
Which one do you think...
mom will like?
Why do you want to buy her a present?
Did you make her angry again?
I've been so busy that...
I haven't called her for a month.
So, I wan to give her a present as a token of apology.
I think you should go for this one.
She can use it to show off.
I'll take these two.
-Thank you. -Okay.
How generous of you.
The other one is for Yan Mo's mom.
The last time she visited me,
she gave me a present.
You haven't even married his son yet, Zhao Qiao Yi.
-Cash or credit? -Credit.
Alright.
Brother.
I'm kind of broke this month.
Can we split the cost for the bracelet for mom?
Are you dreaming?
Are you really my brother?
No. You're adopted.
I didn't tell you because you might feel inferior.
You're a free gift from a top-up.
You're a consolation prize from a scratchcard.
You're a free gift from buying a toothbrush.
-You're really close. -What?
-No way. -No way.
