My True Friend
Episode 44
Special place? Right now, I have special regrets.
I just realized today. Xi Shan has been in Shanghai for so long.
She packed all her things in that little suitcase and moved out.
I kept saying I'd give her happiness.
But I never even took her out once for a nice dinner,
or a fun time.
That's how I gave her happiness.
We all know that you only have Xi Shan in your heart.
But life is not just about work and making money.
The most important thing should be happily living together with your loved one.
I've lived in Shanghai for a few years now.
When I think about it, I can't even recognize myself anymore.
If we were to continue living in this environment,
and I were to say I have no ambitions and desires, that would be a lie.
But deep down, I know
that everything I've done was to share my life with Xi Shan.
Without her, there's no meaning to any of this.
Right now, I think you should do this.
Send her a WeChat with everything you really want to say to her.
If she doesn't respond, then send her ten more. If ten doesn't work, then send a hundred.
You two have been through so much together, I'm confident that she'll understand you when she sees your message.
Thank you, Zhen Zhen.
I will find Xi Shan.
And I'll find my true self again.
Let's keep looking, okay? Let's go.
Xi Shan, where are you?
I know you're probably in bad spirits right now, and want to be alone.
But we're all really worried about you. Please call me back when you get my message.
Also, Xiao Ning knows that he's in the wrong.
In truth, everyone experiences a time when they lose their way.
It's during these times that you have to hold fast.
Mama,
I miss you so much.
Mama,
I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have come to Shanghai.
I'm so miserable right now.
I was wrong.
I'm such a failure.
I took care of everything,
except for you.
Xi Shan, I messed up.
When Luo Zu'Er asked to fake marry me, I really did try to tell her no.
But I wanted the agent's fee and the extra fee too much
so I could buy a house that belongs to us.
But at the last moment, I let go of this terrible idea.
Because I knew, that if I took this first step,
my appetite would only grow bigger and bigger.
Xi Shan,
I know I'm useless.
The only thing I can give you is my love for you..
I don't care if I have to go to the ends of the earth. I will find you.
Please forgive me.
Xi Shan.
Today, I thought a lot about what happened between us in college.
If I could go back in time,
I would take every day we spent together
and turn them into happy memories.
Xi Shan, where are you?
I miss you. You can hit me, yell at me.
As long as I can see you. Without you,
what meaning is there to my life?
Miss Xi Shan,
are you willing to marry this handsome, distinguished man in front of you?
Except that right now, he's just an impoverished, completely lacking Mr. Fu Xiao Ning?
I'm willing.
Zhen Zhen, don't worry about me. I don't belong in this city.
I quit. Please tell Xiao Shao for me.
Please forgive me. I can't hold on any longer.
Hello, Zhen Zhen?
Xiao Ning, Xi Shan just responded to my WeChat.
She's fine, don't worry.
And she said tomorrow she wants to experience the wish she couldn't complete in Shanghai.
And then return home to Chongqing.
Think about what experiences in Shanghai she hasn't completed,
and then go to those places tomorrow to look for her. Okay?
Oh, yes, okay, good. Zhen Zhen, thank you.
Really, thank you so much. I'll think about it.
And I'll go look for her tomorrow. I will find her.
-Okay. When you find her, tell me. -Okay.
Whether it's the past or the future,
my ring will only ever belong to the hands of one girl.
No matter where this girl ends up going,
I will never let go of her hand.
Go inside with me.
-Hello. -Hello. Sir, Miss, what would you like to see?
Wedding rings.
We have gold, platinum, and diamond rings. Which kind would you like?
-Diamond. -Would you like me to show you a few?
I want the one on display in the window.
Okay, please give me a moment.
Do you still remember that ad before that movie we watched in college?
Diamonds last forever, and can be eternally passed down. If we don't have any money, we can make more.
We'll only wear one ring in this lifetime. Let's get a diamond one.
Miss, your fiance has a really good eye.
This is the main item from our new catalogue. It's especially popular.
Xi Shan,
I was wrong before.
I, Fu Xiao Ning, promise
my entire life to
love you, dote on you, protect you.
I won't do anything to make you sad again.
Are you willing to give the ordinary
and inferior me in front of you another chance?
Marry me.
Mrs. Jin, it's only been a few days since I last saw you and you're even prettier than before.
Your complexion is so good, it's both bright and glowing.
Just like the house. The fengshui is good for people.
Xiao Hao, I really like listening to you talk.
You're such a sweet talker.
I'm just speaking facts.
Are you still satisfied with the house I sold you earlier?
Yes, very satisfied.
So, we real estate agents aren't just selling houses.
We also help with your investments.
You didn't come to just see me today, did you?
Is there something else you want to ask me?
Mrs. Jin, you really are smart lady.
I came today to give you money.
Give me money?
Is this for real?
Yes, it is.
In my hands, I have a rare listing. Rosewood International Apartment.
The penthouse. It matches your status.
You know, these apartments...
Usually, even if you wanted to buy one of these units, they never go on sale.
But coincidentally,
the owner is in urgent need of money. So he's willing to sell.
It's also reduced price. So even if you didn't live there, it's okay.
After a while, you can hand over the house to me
and I'll list it on Anjuke for you. Right now, Anjuke
is really popular. House sales are flourishing.
Once you sell it, you'll be able to make even more money.
Really?
There won't be any problems with it?
Let me tell you the truth.
Actually, this house
is the house the director of our company lived in.
[Bestore]
Is this a gift for a friend?
No, its not, its for a colleague
What are some food you sell that decreases stress?
Then you have just come to the right place
Most people who come to our store
Its for the white collared workers
They all really like the snacks we have here
Then please recommend something good
Yes, right over here
These scallops,
This is the specialty meat snack we have in our store.
There are several flavours.
But I would personally recommend this spicy flavoured one.
And over here, this dried mango slices
This dried mango is sour and sweet. It's very filling and you can eat as much as you want.
Is suitable for girls to eat
Or if a lot energy is used on thinking
I recommend pairing with these pistachios
This is all the hot selling products we have
Ok, I'll take these. I'll take 3 or 4 of each kind.
Thank you
Please come again
Xiao Hao, we are both kindred spirits
If its really as amazing as you say it is, please prepare it quickly
I will take a look at the house
If its good, I will sign the contract
The contract can be set by you. I won't be picky.
Jin Aunty, is what you say true?
I can't even believe what I'm hearing
Of course
First, I feel thankful towards you for introducing the house
I've earned money
Second, this house
is a good opportunity. After getting to know your boss
Everyone here is a friend
If this investment goes through
I will be ahead in this investment
Doing business, who wouldn't lack money
That is normal
Jin Aunty, today I have learned
What is called true generosity
Miss Luo.
Why do you have time to meet with me today?
That.. Why don't you drink some coffee first
I just ordered this coffee, its still hot
Lets drink and talk
Today I called you out to
tell you something important
What is it? Why so serious
That is
...is...
I want to tell you something
That is, me and Xi Shan
we got engaged
Why did you suddenly get engaged?
Sorry
To speak bluntly, I have considered this
Fake marriage or pretend dating, I cannot do any of these with you
It must be my previous actions that have mislead you
Xiao Ning
Are you being serious?
I am
Maybe we would quibble on a daily basis
but besides her, I have never felt anything with another girl
Don't even mention about separating with Xi Shan
Before I had been focused on earning money
and have hurt Xi Shan's heart and also bothered you
Today I called you here to tell you
Sorry
Am I really that bad?
Why can't any of the people I like, like me back?
You, as a person, have this amazing characteristic
Even though you might be a bit immature and hot headed
but you aren't hateful
If I'm not hateful then why don't you like me?
Because... Because
Because you are sincere and pure and really care about friendship
I know
In all your hearts, you look down on me
I don't know how to do anything
Ever since I was little, except for Shao Peng Cheng
Every boy is only trying to appease me on the surface
But calls me stupid inside their heart
I know that I don't know how to do anything
I'm just like a parasite
I also want to be able to be independent like the rest of you
Why doesn't anyone want to help me?
Me, I want to help you. Also no one is looking down on you
You are blessed with so many things, you don't need to consider anything to do what you want to do
That is the kind of life other people are jealous of
I believe if you focus on doing something, you will definitely succeed
Really?
Really
If you want to go through hardships like us
We all welcome you to
We are all your true friends
Don't lose faith
I believe you will find a person who truly loves you
A guy that understands and cherishes you.
Xiao Ning, actually, I know
that you never once liked me.
But I still have to thank you.
Because your sincerity
let me know that in this world
there are people who are good to me regardless of how much money I have.
I wish you and Xi Shan all the happiness.
I will also find my own happiness.
You don't have to follow me.
Xi Shan!
-We're here. -You made it.
We were looking for you.
Did you two make up? Yes?
This is so romantic!
Sit. Sit.
You two,
didn't ask my permission and took today off.
I'm going to cut your pay for half a month
We really did request time off today. We specially asked Zhen Zhen to ask time off for us.
Really?
Yeah...yes, yes.
I asked everyone to come today
because I have really important
news to share with you.
You want to tell them or should I?
Okay, I'll tell them.
Me and our Xi Shan...are engaged.
Really?
You two are moving too fast, no?
If you want to make it happen, you can do it overnight, right?
What pace is this? We can't even catch up
Xi Shan, have you thought about it clearly
The next rest of your life is dependent on him?
This life, is left in this hand
Xiao Ning, did you hear that
Let me tell you, you cannot bully Xi Shan
You have to be nicer to her or else none of us will forgive you
Exactly
Today, in front of three close friends
I swear
I, Fu Xiao Ning, for this life
will only like Xi Shan and be good to only her
I will listen to everything she says and will not make her angry
If I cannot achieve this, you guys can punish me in anyway that you want
Great! Kiss
Kiss!
Here, everyone.
Thank you
Giving out candy so early
Look look, how shiny this ring is
Zhen Zhen quickly look! How pretty!
Xiao Ning, it looks like you've spent a lot
Just as long as Xi Shan is happy
Now that is the right thing to say
I'm really moved
Today is a great day
And it's a happy day for two of our Flower Garden family.
First, its you as a couple
love will find its way.
Second
today, I, Hao Mei Li,
with the silver tongue made a deal.
Jin Aunty has agreed with me
To take a look at Xiao Shao's house
If there is no issue
She is willing to pay in one payment
If its like this, then our company's project
Will not have to worry about the initial cost. Don't you all think is this great news?
All right.
Thank you
We are all one family. No need to be polite.
I think we all need to congratulate Mei Lin Jie
Wow, thanks
Great! Cheers to the great news
Our Love and Family's gold medal sales representative is a stand-out.
Anything she says to the client, the client ends up buying.
Watch what you say. What do you mean?
This is called sales technique.
You should learn from your older sister.
The formidable Mei Li. A toast.
The mighty and powerful. I'm so happy. To your happiness.
Here's to you two growing old together in conjugal bliss.
Congratulations.
Xi Shan and Fu Xiao Ning...
really...their love is so beautiful.
Do you envy them?
I've seen them go through so many difficulties,
so many conflicts. And in the end, they can still be together.
This must be real love.
Stay for a little bit. Then go.
What? You want to shout again?
Well, it really wasn't easy for Xiao Ning and Xi Shan.
True.
Their situation...
really let me see that love
requires persistence and proximity.
How do I say this? I'll give an example.
It's like...
It's like...right now
I am by your side. And of course, you are by my side, too.
What am I trying to say?
I just want to say, that time with my dad, I never really thanked you.
That time...I really didn't know how to go on.
My dad had such a serious illness, and the company changed into what it is.
I had no idea what my future looked like.
And I don't know why,
but I just needed to see you,
and I felt...
especially at ease.
Especially safe.
It was pretty magical.
I just wanted to...wanted to...
to say...
that...
Zhen Zhen, I...
It's just that...
You...um...
-Do you— -Are you confessing to me?
♫ The day fate set us to collide ♫
♫ The way you look into my eyes ♫
♫ Never thought, love would come ♫
♫ Like all was meant to happen ♫
♫ Where you are will be where I start ♫
♫ You’ve become my only star ♫
♫ Where it’s dark is where you spark ♫
♫ I’d follow wherever you are ♫
Shao Peng Cheng!
♫ I’ll be here with you through night and day ♫
♫ All these memories won’t be erased ♫
♫ My love for you will never fade ♫
♫ Hey, I know you know, our hearts getting close ♫
♫ I’m falling in love little by little ♫
♫ People come and people go ♫
♫ You’re the one I won’t ever let go ♫
♫ Cause I know you know ♫
Be nicer to me in the future.
♫ We can’t deny, it’s real ♫
♫ All my life searching ♫
♫ Now I know, I found you ♫
♫ Hey, I know you know, our hearts getting close ♫
♫ I’m falling in love little by little ♫
♫ People come and people go ♫
♫ You’re the one I won’t ever let go ♫
♫ Cause I know you know, our hearts getting close ♫
♫ We can’t deny it’s real ♫
♫ All my life searching ♫
♫ Now I know, I found you ♫
I'm leaving. Starting tomorrow,
this won't belong to me anymore.
I hope your new owner treats you well.
Your mom bought you this house.
Are you sure you want to do this?
We can not sell the house, find some other way to raise the money.
Sell it.
A house is just an object.
I believe my mom would have supported my decision.
Sell this house to provide many other people houses...
it's worth it.
Besides,
now I have you, my dad.
As long as I'm with you two, it doesn't matter where I live.
You can always buy another house.
I'll work hard with you.
You know,
now that I have you, I'm the happiest I've ever been.
Stop, don't be so sappy.
I'm just speaking the truth.
So you have to believe me.
In the future, I will create
a warm home for us.
Create a warm home
for the hard-working young people of this city.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Let's go.
What you all are seeing now is the preliminary design proposal
for this apartment building.
I'll explain the design step-by-step, from the exterior to interior.
Feel free to interrupt me
if you have any questions. Let's start here.
This is a room at the courtyard entrance.
I can redesign it into a 24-hour security room.
This wall,
I can build a row of self-service
express delivery stations and laundry room.
When the time comes, tenants can use the password-required
apps on their phone to access this self-service area.
This is an outdoor space. I will split it into two areas.
One area will be recreational and the other area will be for pets.
There will be specialists to help take care of the pets.
Right now, we're looking at the first floor of the building.
I want to make it into a shared-services area.
I'm repurposing this wall into a message board
where people can leave messages, post ads, exchange information.
Excuse me. If I may interrupt.
I think we can make really good use of this information wall.
If the tenants can use their free time
to provide some services to the building, not only would we save on labor costs,
it would also make this place feel more like a home to the tenants. Give them a feeling of ownership.
This is a good idea. Without leaving your doorstep, you can make some pocket money.
And you have the freedom to work on your own time.
Young people love that best.
-Then, I'll keep going. -Okay.
This is the second and third floor of the apartment building.
It's all small independent rooms ranging from 15 to 20 square meters.
I think this is the focal point of where my design expertise is needed.
I need to fully consider each room's practicality and increase the sense of space.
I will design four different styles for the interior.
When the time comes, tenants can choose the one they like.
I think this is a very thoughtful design.
It's equivalent to a customized design.
That's right.
We are also focusing on the environment.
Right now, we're using all eco-friendly materials, including air purification.
We're using Yezi Lifu products.
They're currently being used in airports, high-speed rail stations,
Scitech Hotels. Lots of places are using them.
And the last area.
This is the terrace on the top floor.
I want to make it a rooftop garden with a small outdoor salon.
Jing Ran, thank you so much for designing something so perfect.
It feels like home to me.
Don't worry. I will get all the preparations ready and
let your designs turn into reality as soon as possible.
Good.
When you're dismantling here,
you have to preserve the integrity of every brick.
Also, label them and neatly stack them
because eventually I will have a specialist completely restore each and every brick.
Then, we will place them in their original locations.
I will do everything I can to keep the original features of this building.
Okay, I've got it. Don't worry.
I'll make sure every one of my guys is careful.
Okay. I'll be here every day. If there's any questions, just let me know.
Don't worry Mr. Jing. Don't worry.
Today is City of Love's first day of construction.
I suggest we open a Weibo or WeChat public account.
Yes. Our public account will allow everyone to see every step of our construction process
and understand our design concept.
That's right. WeChat and Weibo are the best publicity platforms right now.
But right now, we're short-staffed at the Flower Garden. And every one has other work.
Publicizing the project will require a lot of energy, it will be very hard work.
Manager, I can take on this task. I'm not afraid of hard work.
I just don't know if my writing style is good enough to meet your requirements.
Just leave it to me.
I know what the clients pay attention to most.
It's called sales psychology. Right?
You can learn from me.
Great, that's what we'll do!
I suddenly feel that with the Flower Garden branch under my supervision,
we're of one mind and full of vitality.
For the effort each and every one of you put into City of Love
and Flower Garden, I, Shao Peng Cheng, will remember it always.
All right, don't be so pleased with yourself.
Say what you want to say on social media.
I have more good news that I want to tell everyone.
I got Anjuke to really collaborate with us.
Our corporate philosophy of providing high-quality housing
just so matches with Anjuke's corporate philosophy of peace-of-mind house-hunting.
They said they want to put City of Love on their app
to do an in-depth promotion. Think about it,
how many users does Anjuke have? Hundreds of millions of users.
I'm confident that our project will achieve better results
under their promotion.
This really is good news.
This way, even more people will know about the City of Love project.
Thank you, Mei Li.
Yeah. Yeah!
All right, enough. Think about what we should say on our social media accounts.
Manager, this is your job.
Give us a theme to work with.
Hong Shi Group Philosophy
You all just saw what Love and Family released.
City of Love's official Weibo and WeChat public accounts.
No one saw this?
