You really think I'm here to find a girlfriend?
Why else would you come?
I don't like owing anyone anything.
I don't want to owe you a favor
for the incident with Linda.
Anyway.
Why would you give me something
that only girls like?
Don't be mean.
Where do you think the chocolate came from?
It's because you were late.
Our members made the chocolate by hand.
It's from them.
You have to accept it, no matter what.
I didn't mean it like that.
I mean--
Zi-yan Xiang,
I want to talk to you about something.
What is it?
Thank you so much for today.
When you came up with the chocolate DIY session,
I felt like I'd been propelled from hell to heaven.
That's crazy!
It's true.
Honestly, though,
the chocolate they used is almost expired. I had to use them up.
- So-- - Really?
It's expired?
Jeez!
I'm just kidding.
You scared me!
But I meant it, I want to treat you to a meal
and formally thank you.
Let's keep in touch.
- Sure. - We'll make plans.
- Sure. Call me. - No problem.
That woman is so impatient with me,
yet she's all smiles to that stubble man.
Unbelievable!
I have a point, right?
Is this how you show your gratitude?
You've worked hard today.
Not at all.
Thank you!
Where is he?
He left without a word?
You-- Rude!
BIRTHDAY APRIL 3, 1985
April 3rd?
Isn't that today?
Dad?
You're finally back.
When did you get here?
Why didn't you tell me?
I was all excited when I came, but I didn't find you here.
You know how it is.
I don't like celebrating my birthday.
I don't like all the fuss.
I went to get some fresh air.
You mean I shouldn't have come all this way
to celebrate your birthday?
That's not what I mean.
Were you waiting long?
It's all right.
It's been a year.
You sure know when to say the wrong thing.
Fine.
Since you know what I'm referring to, that means...
you still remember the promise you made me a year ago?
Don't play dumb. You promised me.
You will take one year
to forget the past and start anew.
Think about it.
Has it been a year since you've been single?
Baby, getting that role in the movie means a lot to me.
Why can't you wait for me for another year?
Dad, you're here to celebrate my birthday.
Where's my gift?
You didn't even bring a gift,
and you're here talking about--
A year. It's been nearly a year.
You should be done healing.
Take over the company.
Once you do, I can travel the world. Honestly.
Listen,
taking over the company and being single
are totally unrelated.
They're totally related.
If you want to numb yourself with work,
take over the company.
You don't need to do that Renew Agent of Divorce.
If you want to start anew,
please find a girlfriend. Will you?
- Dad. - Anyway,
take over the company
or find a girlfriend, you pick one.
No.
Here.
Mom, Dad, you're back?
It's chicken soup.
Mom, it's good that Xiao-qing is here.
So you get to eat good food.
When I try to make an egg sunny-side up,
it turns into scrambled egg.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I should've told you about my divorce earlier.
I just didn't want you to worry about me.
I'm a grownup.
I should be responsible for my own mistakes.
Your dad and I
wanted you to think it through before getting married.
It's not easy marrying into a rich family.
You should also know,
kids are a parents' responsibility for life.
Seeing you like this is really painful for your dad and I.
Mom, I know you and Dad don't want to see her unhappy,
but think about it from a different angle. Maybe divorce can be
a new start for two people who are incompatible.
After her divorce,
maybe she can find a brand new direction in life.
She's so young,
you can't really ask her to stay with someone who doesn't love her.
You--
Fine, it's good that you got out of the relationship in time.
The soup's getting cold. Let's eat.
You should have some, too.
Sure.
Here.
Jia-wei Ji
came to help me out on his birthday.
I didn't even get to thank him in person.
What did I do it for anyway?
I forgot to say thank you in person.
Also, happy birthday.
I forgot to say thank you in person.
Also, happy birthday.
I forgot to say thank you in person.
Also, happy birthday.
What?
You didn't hear it, Polo?
Let me play it for you again.
I forgot to say thank you in person.
Also, happy birthday.
What? You still didn't catch it?
That's no good.
Let's play again.
Will this process work?
This and this.
Good morning, Boss.
You can have this chocolate.
Mr. Ji,
I have a question for you.
Did you acquire supernatural powers lately?
Like invisibility
or teleportation?
Even if you did,
you shouldn't use them on your buddies.
It's not like that.
THANKS FOR KEEPING YOUR WORD
The thing is--
Last night--
A client wanted to see me.
But it was too last minute, so I didn't have time to tell you.
Then what's this?
What's what?
"Thanks for keeping your word.
Mr. Popularity Event was a success."
Mr. Popularity?
I thought you already turned down the Mr. Popularity meet-and-greet?
Boss, just tell us if you want to find a girlfriend.
We'd do anything to help you, right?
I have a back-up list here.
It's yours for the taking.
What are you talking about?
Think about it.
Finding a girlfriend or us throwing him a birthday party.
Finding a girlfriend is more important, right?
Mr. Ji.
What?
Hi, Linda. What brings you here?
I brought that lady's heels back.
Please return them for me.
After I went home,
I thought a lot about what happened.
That lady is right.
It's just that I haven't gotten used to being alone.
I fell for you out of loneliness.
I was in a rush to fill my emptiness with a relationship.
Yet I forgot that I should--
I should first make sure my mind is in the right place.
Do you know why our firm is called, "Renew"?
Because most people
think of divorce as a loss.
But to me,
divorce means you can get back
the old self that you love.
Thank you.
I'm really sorry for my behavior before.
It was awkward for you.
Please don't apologize.
I didn't tell you the whole truth.
It's my bad for causing this misunderstanding.
If I return the heels to Xiao-tong Guan now,
as a licensed psychologist,
would she go into analysis mode
and become suspicious?
She might wonder, "Why would Linda
return her pumps twice?"
No.
That way she'd see through my lie.
What?
Boss, after eating the chocolate you gave me,
I think there's something I should remind you.
Go ahead.
Based on my analysis,
there are only two possibilities why you hid
the meet-and-greet from us.
One,
you want to fall in love.
So you decided to find a girlfriend.
Just like your disdainful reaction now,
a self-centered person like you with strong opinions
and a level of pride three times higher than normal people,
this possibility does not exist for you. So it can only be the second possibility.
The second one?
Second,
you owe Dr. Love a favor that you must repay.
As for why you owe her a favor,
I believe there are only two possibilities.
First, she's found out your dirty secret. So you asked her to keep it for you.
But even if someone really does have something on you,
nobody can force you to do anything you don't want to,
no matter what.
So that possibility also does not exist either.
It can only be the second possibility.
Ms. Sherlock, may I ask,
what that second possibility is?
I think,
something happened between you two.
And you're starting to fall for her.
What are you talking about?
There's no way I would--
What are you trying to say?
I just want to inform you, Boss,
even though you always seem mean and arrogant,
as if the whole world revolves around you,
I know, however,
it's just an act, a firewall you built,
because you were heartbroken.
However, given the fact that
you went to her rescue and took part in the meet-and-greet,
I think you're a closeted sweet guy,
who can put all principles aside once you're in love.
So, Boss,
I hope you can find your own happiness.
That's all.
Please think it over.
Thanks.
You have to work on Sunday, too?
Your boss should really give you a raise.
I'm so sorry for canceling at the last minute.
Don't think your wallet can get away with it, though.
So what you're saying is,
you picked a really expensive restaurant?
Wait, why should I hide?
You offered to treat.
Of course I get to pick.
That's true.
Pick any place you want, Chinese, Western,
buffet or afternoon tea.
My wallet is always ready for you.
Let's make plans next time.
Sure. Bye-bye.
- Good luck with work. - Thanks for the ride.
Be careful driving.
Xiao-tong Guan,
are your eyes purely decorative?
How dare you treat me like air?
Sure.
Thank you.
Thanks for the help.
Let's keep in touch.
All right, bye.
I SAY YES
"I say yes."
I forgot to say thank you in person.
Also, happy birthday.
I knew it, Jia-wei Ji!
Rude!
Read but no reply.
Never mind.
Anyway, I already expressed my gratitude
loud and clear to him.
Maybe I'm still in love with her.
I still remember her phone number.
But with courage alone,
how can you be sure the next relationship
can last a lifetime?
Xiao-tong Guan, you have time to go on a date
but no time to update your blog and reply to questions?
This Dr. Love is so unprofessional.
You can't be certain about anything in life.
But don't worry,
when you start thinking about "falling in love again,"
that means you're already heading in the right direction.
Working overtime?
You, too?
- I-- - See you.
Thinking back,
there was so much hostility in the room.
Everyone was itching to kill.
I was too scared to look. I thought there'd be a riot.
Me, too. I bowed for such a long time.
I didn't dare raise my head.
Thankfully, Zi-yan Xiang came to our rescue in time.
His smile and eloquence destroyed the brewing storm.
He showed a lot of guts!
How many G's is he? I think he should be 3G now, right?
Seriously, he'll be 4G in no time.
So what if he's 4G?
His intervention was just a delay tactic.
If frozen pork chop hadn't shown up in time, all three of us
would've died at the members' hands, then been hacked to pieces by Boss.
He was late!
So what if he was late?
You saw how out of breath he was when he came in.
Something must have come up for him.
Then he overcame whatever it was,
he still kept his word and showed up.
I think he should have at least 1G, Guts.
It's basic virtue to keep your word.
Also, Xiao-tong said he willingly agreed
to take part in the meet-and-greet.
That means he's not as arrogant and aloof as he seems.
Xiao-tong, is he courting you?
No way!
He already said he only did that to return a favor.
That's the least he can do.
No, think about it.
It doesn't matter what his objective is,
what matters is the meet-and-greet has successfully come to an end.
And we're good in Boss's eyes.
From now on,
I won't have anything else to do with him.
Jia-wei Ji is tossed into the trash can with his life-size cutout.
That means from now on, I won't ever see him again.
What are you doing here?
Where's your boss?
Inside.
Mr. Ji, what's the rush?
Didn't we just speak on the phone?
Why did you come see me so soon?
This is--
HAPPIER NEXT TIME: LOVE BUS TOUR
SECOND LOVE SINGLES MIXER
Well?
Move aside. Let me try.
Go down.
What are they saying?
I can't really tell.
Hush! Let me listen!
What are you doing? Huh?
Mr. Ji and I have come to an agreement.
Instead of fighting and competing with each other,
why don't we work together to create a win-win situation?
We decided to collaborate
and organize a singles mixer for the divorced.
- Why? - Why not?
A dating site and divorce firm working in collaboration.
Maybe we can get people talking,
even make the news?
We can get free advertisement that way.
Dating after divorce is a market with great potential.
The divorce rate is higher than ever. It'd be a shame for your dating site
to give up on this business opportunity.
That's right.
But our business values are completely different.
This--
That's not true. It's just on the surface.
Our intent and purpose are both about making relationships work.
We focus on starting relationships. They work on repairing relationships.
Don't you think we complement one another?
Furthermore,
we will select and provide
a list of recently divorced who are interested in dating again.
These are potential members
who can be tapped into right away.
More importantly,
the list is free.
See? Why should I turn him down?
- But-- - No more but's.
The decision has been made.
The contact for this project?
Xiao-tong.
You're in charge of the singles' mixer for the divorced.
- Why? - What do you mean?
Divorced people are more emotionally vulnerable
than regular members.
They need psychological support.
You're perfect for the job.
I've already heard of Ms. Guan's theory
on the 4G Good Man.
It's uniquely insightful.
Most of my clients have experienced a failed marriage.
Their top priority right now is how to find the right person for them.
That's why I desperately need your help.
But Boss, I'm still working on other things.
Don't worry,
Allen and Xin-xin can take over.
You should focus on this collaboration with Mr. Ji.
Go on, shake hands.
Happy working with you.
Fantastic.
Mr. Ji, Xiao-tong is my right-hand person.
You must be good to her.
Of course.
Our company will be in charge of the event planning.
Venue selection is also very important.
Ms. Guan, you just have to confirm the location.
Confirm the location?
We will let you know the time and place.
Don't be late.
See you.
Bye.
Don't be late, all right?
Get back to work.
What?
"Happier Next Time: Love Bus Tour"?
What?
Can't we organize a singles mixer for our divorced clients?
It's not that we can't organize one.
It's just we have the list of members.
We have experience organizing events.
Why must we work with them?
Anyway, they have plenty of experience throwing singles mixers.
They have a professional, Dr. Love,
who can provide therapy to our clients.
We can work together and learn from each other.
Two heads are better than one.
It's a win-win situation for all.
Let's delegate tasks.
Xi-men, you're in charge of event planning
- and vendors. - Sure.
Shao-qiang, you're in charge of transportation, lodging, and insurance.
An-ting and Ahle,
you handle the rest of the logistics.
Sure.
I just thought of the important task of location scouting.
Xi-men, I won't ask you to do it.
You're too busy contacting vendors.
Shao-qiang, not you either.
Transportation is very important.
It concerns our safety.
An-ting has other administrative work. So not her. Ahle--
You look like you're busy. So never mind.
I'll take care of it.
Boss, I have a question.
I always handle vendors and location scouting.
You never said it was too much work.
What are you saying?
We have more clients than ever.
We are busier than ever.
I have noticed it all along.
This is a pressing matter. Of course I'm happy to help out.
Right?
You think I'm a heartless boss?
That's all. Meeting adjourned.
Something's fishy here.
Definitely.
Siangtian Pond. Mian Tian Ping Trail.
Taipei is huge.
Why must they pick the middle of nowhere to hold the singles' mixer?
How come the people from Renew Agent of Divorce aren't here yet?
It's so late. They should tell me if they'll be late.
What the heck?
Jia-wei Ji is so unreliable.
You're speaking ill of me behind my back?
How come it's you?
I have to tell you something upfront.
Usually, I'd never do something as trivial as this.
It's unfortunate that my staff are all too busy, so--
So?
So--
I'm only doing this because I had to.
It's because this event's location choice is very important.
- You think I want to be here? - You don't want to be here?
I don't believe you.
You're the one who proposed organizing this event, no?
So it's me?
Of course it's you. Who else?
I don't get you at all.
Why don't you focus on doing your divorce cases
and throwing your divorce parties? Why must you organize this
"Happier Next Time: Love Bus Tour"?
What gave you the inspiration anyway?
I got it from you.
Me?
When you talked Linda away from the ledge,
I realized the dating market for divorced people is huge.
So if this event is a success, you would be
the biggest heroine behind it.
You can complain in the car.
We have a long drive ahead.
Let's go.
Why don't you wait for me?
Nobody holds singles mixers in the middle of nowhere.
It's too far and too remote.
My experience tells me singles mixer participants
usually prefer places like Baisha Bay and Pingxi
that give you a sense of happiness.
Let me remind you once again,
we're throwing a singles mixer for divorced people.
My experience at the divorce firm tells me
people who decide to date after divorce
usually prefer outdoor nature locations.
This place does have great nature.
But it's too remote and out of the way.
They'll suffer from lack of oxygen before they can absorb phytoncides.
You won't know until you try.
You might be pleasantly surprised.
I think it's better to hold the event at Baisha Bay.
The beach is romantic.
They can play in the water.
If we're lucky, maybe we'll get to see fireworks at night.
That's a terrible idea!
Yes, it's a terrible idea.
I'm the one driving anyway.
We'll go wherever I want to go. Quit nagging.
Where are we?
It's gorgeous!
You're awake?
See? I told you so.
This place is the perfect starting point for our singles mixer.
Right?
My goodness!
This place is out-of-this-world gorgeous!
It's beautiful, it's so moving!
Come over here and look!
Over there!
Here.
It's so pretty!
Look, this view of the mountain is amazing!
There's fish!
So many of them!
Hey, are we heading to your car?
Is this the right direction?
What's the hurry?
It's beautiful here. Let's enjoy the scenery some more.
Anyway, didn't you hurt your ankle?
Are you better now?
How did you know?
