You're the only one who can help me out.
I messed up the task that Chairman Shao assigned to me.
I also made a mistake and got Jing Ran involved.
You're best at dealing with mean people.
Think of a solution for me.
I only have a name card with me.
What should I do?
I was wondering why you're so anxious.
So it's because of Jing Ran.
Why should I help him? I have better things to do.
My amazing partner.
I know you're kind-hearted.
You're the only one who can help me.
I beg you.
All right.
Seeing that you're begging me in the middle of the night,
I'll take pity on you. Tell me about it.
Shao Peng Cheng, I've prepared everything you told me to.
I'm a little nervous now.
- What if he finds out? - Don't worry.
Just do what I told you to do last night.
Just look up at him, and nod your head once in a while,
then smile at him. Okay?
All right. I'm going in.
If it's not for Jing Ran, I'd never do something like this.
Okay, I'm hanging up. I'm here.
Don't panic, relax. Go.
Lady, good evening. Welcome.
I made a reservation.
- What is your name, please? - Ms. Cheng.
Ms. Cheng. All right, please follow me.
Thank you.
- That is your seat. - Thank you.
Enjoy your night.
I'm here already.
I'll hide you away. Hold on.
Can you see?
Quick, be quiet.
Don't talk. He's here.
- Ms. Cheng. - Hi, Leo!
Hi.
Have a seat.
I'm honoured.
Okay.
I thought I'll never see you again.
I didn't expect you'd invite me...
for a dinner...
on such a romantic night.
The pleasure is mine.
I didn't expect to meet someone...
famous like you on the plane.
I'm flying back in a few days.
So I wanted to treat you a dinner...
before I leave.
You're leaving so soon?
How did the work go?
This time...
things didn't go so well.
As you know,
I came to Rome...
to look for Jing Ran and invite him to be our chief designer.
But he strongly refused.
He insisted on working on the repair project of Ponte Sant'Angelo.
So I've no choice but to give up and return to China.
But honestly,
I agree with what you said.
Of course Mr. Jing Ran can't do a better job...
than an Italian on the Ponte Sant'Angelo repair project.
Great acting. Keep going.
I know there're many world-famous architects in Italy.
For example,
his competitor tendering...
for the Ponte Sant'Angelo project,
Mr. Raphael.
He is a world-famous designer too.
He's about to take the bait.
If Mr. Raphael is...
willing to be our company's chief designer,
how great would that be?
But didn't the Chairman ask you to bring Mr. Jing Ran back?
Do you really think Mr. Raphael meets your requirements?
Of course. I've done my research.
Mr. Raphael is the top designer in Rome.
Besides,
Mr. Jing Ran...
wasn't the specific person my boss is looking for.
I like this.
Jing Ran isn't important.
All he wants is...
a world-famous designer.
Mr. Raphael is definitely one of them.
My boss wants a master.
I just have to bring one back with me.
Besides, if it's Mr. Raphael,
I believe the chairman will be willing...
to provide a generous remuneration.
Of course.
Mr. Raphael is the pride of Rome.
- He's more talented... - He's taken the bait.
than Mr. Jing Ran.
Yes.
Shut up.
I'm sorry.
Back to topic.
You know, in China,
we're short of talented designers.
We have huge investments as well.
For a single project,
the investment can cost over a million dollars.
- Keep going. - In today's world,
I believe anyone from any country...
will not be willing to give up on Chinese market.
You're absolutely right. Cheers.
I'm buying this meal today...
because I have a favour to ask.
I want to see if you could use your connections...
to introduce me to Mr. Raphael.
Ms. Cheng,
You're such a smart girl.
I'm the only person who can convince...
Mr. Raphael.
Done.
- Okay. - Really?
Do you know Mr. Raphael?
How do I put this?
Let's just say that...
We're very good partners.
That's great!
I feel like tonight's dinner is predestined.
I occasionally use my connections...
to help other talented designers.
For example, Mr. Raphael's Ponte Sant Angelo project.
I get it now.
So you're the man behind the scenes.
I'm so lucky!
Stop messing around.
Get the evidence.
All right. I'll be honest with you.
If you manage to convince Mr. Raphael...
to join my company as a chief designer,
I believe I can...
get you a generous commission...
from the chairman.
You even know the unspoken rules of our industry.
I guess 0.5 percent...
isn't too much, is it?
Deal.
Mr. Leo, you're a veteran indeed.
Cheers to our cooperation.
Not bad.
I just thought of an issue.
If Mr. Raphael
were to come to China and be a designer,
will he encounter...
any cross cultural problems?
Will the Chinese media doubt about...
his understanding of our culture?
Who designed Louvre Pyramid?
It's Ieoh Ming Pei.
No one doubted his talent just because he's Chinese.
Don't worry, Ms. Cheng.
The industry isn't that narrow-minded.
I love chatting with you.
What else do you want to eat?
Is there spaghetti?
Excuse me.
Can I have a lasagne?
Sure. It's going to be a lasagne for the lady.
And what about you, sir?
- I will have tagliatelle. - Tagliatelle? Good choice.
Before I leave, I'd like to say that...
it's our pleasure to have you guys here.
You're almost done.
Shut up.
- I think we're fine. - Yes, we're fine.
- All right. - Thank you.
I'm already looking forward to our collaboration.
Me too.
Cheers.
You were right. They're in cahoots.
Of course. Don't you know who I am?
Don't you just admire me now?
Stop messing around. You're such a bad influence.
Do you know how nervous I was?
Luckily I remembered everything you said.
And didn't make any mistake.
Did you record the whole thing?
Of course I did.
I've seen many of these...
greedy foreigners.
These people show their true colours...
the moment they see money.
But why didn't I realize this?
You've the potential to be a spy.
What spy?
It's just an eye for an eye.
A tooth for a tooth.
They did that to me first!
Cheng Zhen Zhen
Let me see.
Why?
Did you meet him in this dress?
Isn't it too obvious that you're honey trapping him?
Put on a coat.
Forget it. Just send me the video file.
I have to go look for Jing Ran.
- I'll talk to you later. Bye bye. - Wear your...
Zhen Zhen. why are you...
You...
I found the evidence of Leo and Mr. Raphael working together.
It's in my email. Turn on your computer now.
Shao Peng Cheng and I can only do this much for you.
It's up to you now.
Get me a coat, please.
Come in.
Mr. Jing. In response to your request,
we've decided to hold another tender meeting.
You said you've something to clarify.
Considering your status, we're willing to give you a chance.
But I hope you won't waste everyone's time.
You may begin.
Thank you, Ms. Alcadi.
Do you know Mr. Raphael?
How do I put this?
Let's just say that...
we're very good partners.
That's great!
I feel like tonight's dinner is predestined.
I occasionally use my connections...
to help other talented designers.
Like Mr. Raphael in his Ponte Sant'Angelo project.
I get it now.
So you're the man behind the scenes.
If Mr. Raphael were to come to China...
and be a designer,
will the Chinese media doubt about...
his understanding of our culture?
Who designed Louvre Pyramid?
It's Ieoh Ming Pei.
No one has doubted his talent because he's a Chinese.
Don't worry, Ms. Cheng.
The industry is not that narrow-minded.
I object. This is an invasion of privacy.
No.
Mr. Raphael!
Your friend, Leo...
scrupulously twisted my words.
I can reveal my entire conversation with Leo right now.
But can you?
Can Leo do that?
Obviously, Mr. Raphael used underhand methods...
to win the tender for the project.
I feel ashamed for you.
I am revealing this video...
just because I want...
everyone to know the truth.
Mr. Jing Ran, I believe you've achieved what you wanted.
Let's end this here.
Thank you.
I know your personality.
You don't like to explain yourself.
Leave this to me.
Mr. Jing. Based on the evidence provided by this lady,
you've indeed been treated unfairly.
However, considering that this project has affected the people...
and their sentiments,
and the town hall has already...
announced the results,
we can only go according to the results announced.
The project will still be completed by Mr. Raphael.
This is unfair.
Mr. Raphael used underhand methods to win.
- How can this be? - Calm down, Zhen Zhen.
- Why? - Calm down.
- It's alright. - Why?
I guess Leo got one point right.
I should consider cross cultural problems.
Goodbye.
Let's go.
Don't be angry, Zhen Zhen.
I invited everyone here today just to reveal the truth.
I've expected the outcome.
But this is unfair!
Jing Ran, don't worry.
We can tell the media...
that they used such underhand methods.
We'll tell everyone the truth.
Not everyone is narrow-minded.
Zhen Zhen, I realized...
you do have the gut and you're righteous.
This isn't just about losing a project.
This shows that Chinese are being treated unfairly overseas.
I don't care.
This started because of me.
I'll do whatever it takes to get the project.
You know, Zhen Zhen.
Only expats like us can understand...
what a sense of belonging means.
When I was young,
I thought, the further from home, the better.
The world is my home.
But as I grow older,
I feel like...
I need a sense of security,
and a home.
Didn't Ms. Bai move over here to Italy?
Home is wherever your mom is.
Right?
Yes.
- All right, leave it here. - Okay.
Great. I'll grab my phone for a group photo.
Give me a moment.
- Mr. Jing. - Yes?
What do you like to eat?
I like crab and seafood.
I like them all.
I know how to cook them.
What?
Nothing.
Actually...
I wanted to bring you out,
but Mom said...
you love to eat what she cooks.
So she prepared this for you.
Choked on water? Are you okay?
- I'm okay. - Here.
Thank you.
It's fine.
Perfect.
Mom.
Let's take a picture together.
Help me with this.
Okay.
There you go.
1, 2...
Smile!
Let's dig in.
I'm so happy.
Try some. Mom just learned how to make this.
Here.
Look here. Smile.
- Great. - Mom, can we eat now?
Stop taking pictures.
You...
You have to take care of Zhen Zhen.
It's okay.
I know.
Let me send a text message.
Right, Jing Ran.
Zhen Zhen.
The community centre in Chinatown...
is having a network session today.
Go check it out with me.
I'm not going.
Zhen Zhen, do you want to go with me?
I'll go.
Fine.
Here. Cheers.
I'm happy.
Kids. Let me ask you.
If you're not with your parents and get lost on the street,
what do you do?
Look for the police.
Brilliant.
Today, I'm going to tell you a secret.
Do you want to know what it is?
- Yes. - Good.
Do you know what this picture is?
Can anyone tell me? Go ahead.
I've seen this on the street.
Really? What is this?
I know. It's where Love and Family is.
Smart boy.
This...
is the logo of Love and Family.
if you get lost on the street,
just look for this logo, walk into the shop...
and look for the adults there.
Tell them that you get lost.
Ask them for help.
And they'll help you find your parents.
Do you remember the logo?
Yes, we do.
It's great.
Miss.
Which college are you in?
Do you want to work in Italy in the future...
or do you want to return to China to work?
You know,
my son is 182cm tall.
You all know that my son...
looks a lot like me. Very good looking.
He just started working.
We've already bought him a house.
Ma'am, you're mistaken.
I don't attend college here.
I'm on my business trip.
Here for work.
Look how anxious you are.
Here.
Your son will find someone.
- Cheers. - Don't rush.
Don't rush.
Your son is very handsome.
- Thanks. - Thank you.
I think so too.
Ms. Bai.
Hi, Mr. Zhang.
Who is this?
Let me introduce you. Zhen Zhen. This is Mr. Zhang.
Hi, Mr. Zhang.
Hello.
Zhang, she is a friend of my son.
She is on her business trip.
No wonder.
You can come over to my house with her.
My house is very big.
And I live alone.
I also have a cow farm.
Really?
That's true.
Mr. Zhang is in the leather business.
His house is so big that...
you have to communicate by calling each other on phone.
What's so good about such a big house?
I live alone,
so I feel even more lonely.
That'd be great If my soul mate...
can come and live with me.
How about this, Bai,
have a good time with her.
I'll get going.
Don't forget to download an application...
so we can follow each other's updates.
Sure.
Bai, I will see you again.
- Okay, see you. - Bye.
- Goodbye, Mr. Zhang.
Ms. Bai.
Mr. Zhang seems like a gentleman.
Silly girl.
Don't tease me.
Ms. Bai, let me open an account for you...
so you can follow each other.
Great.
Then I can make more friends.
Done.
You just press this...
and you can post anything.
Zhen Zhen, do you have this too?
I do.
Let's be friends.
We can follow each other's updates.
Sure.
Okay.
- This is my account. - Let me see.
Sincerely.
You are Sincerely?
What a nice name.
Just like you. Very sincere.
Mom.
I'd like to talk to Zhen Zhen.
Okay.
I'm sorry, everyone.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
Can I play a piece?
Have a seat.
Thank you...
for supporting me at the tendering.
I...
I don't know how to thank you.
Xiao Shao.
Zhen Zhen can't pick up your call now.
She's playing piano with Jing Ran.
Thanks for the ride.
You must be tired.
Have a good rest.
You too.
Zhen Zhen,
I'm really glad to have met you in Rome.
I feel like Rome has become more romantic...
after you came.
I like Rome too.
Zhen Zhen.
Please consider my proposal.
I really hope you could stay behind.
Good night.
- Good night. - Good night.
Why are you so early today?
You didn't sleep well last night?
Look how lethargic you are.
I'll get you a drink.
Here you go.
Have some coconut juice and refresh yourself.
Isn't that Cheng Zhen Zhen?
And Jing Ran?
Look!
So Jing Ran and Zhen Zhen already knew each other.
I knew it.
Why would Zhen Zhen be so nice to Ms. Bai...
when the house could hardly be sold?
So it's because she's fallen for his son.
How scheming she is!
Will she stay in Italy...
and never come back?
Will Jing Ran keep her in Italy...
and not let her come back?
Then you'd lose your partner.
Do you know why I like to partner Zhen Zhen?
No matter how much she hates you,
she wouldn't find some random stuff online...
and show it to me intentionally.
As long as I'm a real estate agent,
I will only have Zhen Zhen as my partner.
Wait, what did I say to upset you?
- Good morning. - How ridiculous.
Who wants to be your partner?
If you want to have a look, look at school districts.
If there isn't any, there's no need to look around.
The house has to be bigger. We only have a son.
We want to live with him.
You have a big appetite.
The house has to be bigger.
Wait, Fu Xiao Ning
- Go. - I'm not going.
Why don't...
one of you find us a place?
Look for her.
This family came together.
They look poor.
It won't be an easy task. Just sit down.
Who can help us?
Well, everyone.
My name is Shao Peng Cheng.
I'm here to assist you in finding houses.
- Well... - You little brat.
We saw that Love and Family has one.
You're influenced by Zhen Zhen.
So we came over.
We're looking for a place that is in proximity...
to public transport like subway.
- Got it. - Okay, here's a selected listing.
I know about this listing.
As I remember, it's about 1.45 million dollars.
Are you okay with the price?
1.45 million dollars?
Young man, we came here...
because we wanted to see if there's more affordable options.
I think location is more important.
Find somewhere more remote.
The house will be bigger and cheaper.
It'd be easier for us to live together.
All you talk about is a bigger place.
You don't even have the money.
If they're rich enough,
we wouldn't have to chip in for the down payment.
What are you saying?
See, they're getting married.
Sir, ma'am. Listen to me.
Sir, ma'am.
We've listed many properties on An Ju Ke.
You can find houses of different price range and house type.
These have been verified by An Ju Ke.
They're real?
Of course, the pictures and videos are real.
- It's great. - Then we can pick one here.
- Xi Shan. - Right?
We have to show our clients around. They're waiting for us.
- What are you talking about? - Let's go. I'm sorry.
Hold on. At least you send me the house listing.
How can they leave like this?
Look.
I'd like to consolidate your requirements.
It has to be in a school district and near the subway station.
The house has to be big.
But the price has to be low.
- Yes. - Did I get it right?
Absolutely.
All right.
Hello, Cheng Zhen Zhen.
What have you been up to? You didn't pick up my calls.
I'm calling the police.
You're exaggerating.
My phone was on silent mode. What happened?
Let's...
do a video chat.
Show me what you've been up to in Italy.
Why are you so annoying?
Video.
Show me around.
So...
This is my room.
You look so tired.
What did you do last night?
Were you late for work these two days?
You must've been punished by Ms. Zeng.
Did you take up any case?
Can't you think of something good?
I'm afraid that I've disappointed you this time.
I go to work on time these days.
It's 7am here right now.
I'm already in the office. Look.
As for Ms. Zeng, she pities me.
I just received a new case.
But I regret taking it up.
After spending so much time with you,
I'm becoming more dense.
Why would I take up such a troublesome case?
Do you feel uneasy...
if you don't tease me for a day?
Tell me is that how you feel.
I'm warning you.
Talk nicely to me, you hear me?
Tell me more about the case you took up.
A couple wants to buy a house in Shanghai,
but they don't have much money.
And they're the only child in their family.
So their parents are paying for their house.
But both their parents don't have much money.
So six of them...
are buying the house together.
And the problem is...
since the six of them are paying,
everyone has an opinion.
Each of them have different opinions.
No one is giving way,
and they are having a fight.
This is pretty common.
Think about it. Price of housing is high.
It'll cost a lot more if they want a house in a good district.
Most young people these days cannot afford it.
They can't even afford the down payment.
That means both their parents...
have to take out all their savings.
Since they're paying, they have their own opinions...
and point of view.
It's quite hard to satisfy six of them...
with one house.
Yes, I know.
That's the truth.
And you're so far away. Easier said than done.
I'm the one who handle all these people.
When are you coming back?
What about this? Log in to the system now.
I'll log in too.
Let's go through the listings...
and see if there's any place suitable for this family.
Mom.
You gave me a shock.
Why are you back so early?
And why are you back so early?
Why don't you chat for a while more?
There's nothing much to talk about.
How come?
Then I shouldn't have asked Mr. Zhang for a ride.
Mr. Zhang sent you back?
