Cheers.
Thank you.
Boss, she's making a toast to you. You should respond.
Don't be rude.
Thanks.
You ate so much earlier.
Your stomach is hanging out.
It was Boss's treat.
And it's a celebratory party, so I ate to my heart's content.
That makes sense.
Right?
Xiao-tong Guan, are you full?
- That's good. - Yes.
The chicken wings were pretty good.
I thought so, too.
Xiao-tong Guan, your speech earlier was so touching,
it instantly thawed that piece of frozen pork chop.
Yeah, and where did you find the time to prepare a gift for him?
That's right.
You're up to something!
No, I'm not.
You guys should go home.
- Bye-bye. - Where's our gifts?
Oh, yeah!
I'll get them for you some other day. Bye.
You better keep your word! Bye.
- Put it on my desk. - Fine.
Get in.
It's all right. I can get home on my own.
It's late. Just get in.
It's fine, really.
Are you trying to argue with me now?
Just get in.
Earlier, you didn't have to thank me at the celebratory party.
I told you, it's only because of you
that I got the inspiration to organize the event.
Thank you.
Why are you saying this out of the blue?
I can't take all the credit.
Even if people usually don't ask to take credit for something like this,
they wouldn't go so far as to give others all the credit, either.
I've never met anyone like you.
You always think of others first
and think of yourself last.
Are you using too little of your brain capacity?
Or are you just too naive?
It's not that I'm using too little of my brain capacity,
I'm just doing my job.
Please have more confidence, all right?
You really did an amazing job.
Not everyone's arrogant like you.
It's not arrogance, it's confidence.
More like narcissism.
Here.
Sit.
Sit down.

Does it have something to do with the singles mixer?
SHAO-QIANG LIN
Hello, Shao-qiang?
Send me the profile information on participants of the singles mixer.
That's all.
MEMBER PROFILE
Boss, must we shred them all?
These former members told us loud and clear,
either we refund their membership fees,
or we'll see them in court.
I won't give in to threats.
The contracts were written in black and white.
We'll just follow the terms of the contract.
I want you to shred them,
so you won't waste more time on these people.
Instead of dwelling on them,
it's more pragmatic to spend time on recruiting new members.
Don't you understand?
Boss, I'm sorry.
I still haven't figured out
where the comments on my blog came from.
Maybe they're by members whose match failed?
Or by a competitor company trying to sabotage us?
It could also just be a prank.
So I was thinking,
maybe I should temporarily shut down the Dr. Love blog?
Xiao-tong,
you think it's my first time around the corner?
I've been through all kinds of stuff.
I'm used to these dirty tricks.
If they think they can defeat us with these low blows,
they're clearly too naive.
Also, you guys,
don't act like it's the end of the world, as if you're at a loss.
Get to work.
Shred the rest.
Xiao-tong, I'm so surprised Boss didn't blow up.
Maybe this isn't as serious as we thought?
She's seen the likes of it before.
But her reaction made me feel even worse.
You know how she is, anyway.
She's always unpredictable. You never know how she'll react.
Xiao-tong, you have to be extra careful about your personal safety now.
You must stay alert at all times.
What if those terrible comments
came from someone who holds a grudge against you?
Allen and I
should accompany you on location scouting the day after tomorrow.
That's all right. You've got other things to do.
I'm in charge of that. I can handle it.
Don't worry.
Fine, but you must be careful.
I'm going to shred papers.
DR. LOVE, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LOVE

MEMBER PROFILE
YOU-WEI CHEN
Hello, Xiao-tong Guan?
Where are you?
This side looks the same as the other side.
Why don't you just grab these photos from the Internet?
Mr. Ji, you insisted on tagging along.
Quit your nagging.
Come on, let's go.
Lovers' Bridge is over there.
Why are you following me?
I was thinking,
our camping trip was a success.
Maybe I can make the next divorce party outdoors.
That's all.
I think we're about done. We should get going.
You're about done.
I'm staying here.
You can leave if you want to.
What's this?
"I hope I can meet a nice girl."
Wish placards
are like self-help books.
They only have a placebo effect.
You don't get it. Making a wish means having hope.
Wishes don't come true on their own.
Sometimes you have to make it happen yourself.
I HOPE EVERYTHING TURNS OUT FOR THE BEST
You're done. Let's go.
Wait, come back.
What now?
- I'll go pay. - That's fine.
I'll go.
PLEASE DEPOSIT $1 AFTER MAKING A WISH
What are you doing?
Help!
Xiao-tong Guan!
- Help! - Don't scream! Don't make me!
- Help! - Shut up!
Jia-wei Ji.
Mr. Chen, what you're doing is wrong.
It's you! I'm not in the wrong.
Let go of me!
Mr. Chen, please calm down.
Let go!
Let go of me!
Please calm down, all right?
Let go!
The woman they matched me with at the singles mixer event
scammed me out of my life savings.
Her number is discontinued. She's moved out of her rental apartment.
I have reasons to suspect Ms. Guan is her accomplice.
Mr. Chen, even if Ms. Zhang participated in the singles mixer with ill intention
to con you out of your money,
that doesn't prove the dating site is her accomplice.
I only believed her after she gave me her analysis.
If even she can't tell who's truly in search of love,
and who's just using this opportunity to pull a scam,
isn't that also a form of deceit?
I just wanted a chance to ask Dr. Love,
who famously proclaims all relationships have hope,
how she'd explain all this?
Or give me my money back?
Mr. Chen,
why do you carry two bank books on you at all times?
I just wanted her to see
how I got conned out of all my life savings.
Mr. Chen, please understand Ms. Guan isn't the person who scammed you.
Mr. Ji, you should know better than anyone else,
it took me a long time to finally convince myself to believe in love again.
Then what? I still can't escape the fate of being deceived again.
Mr. Chen.
It's all right. You may leave now.
We will handle the rest from here.
Let's go.
Come on.
Officer,
if possible, please don't press charges against Mr. Chen.
I wasn't physically hurt.
On some level, he's also a victim.
Can we solve this matter between ourselves?
Hey, what are you thinking about?
Nothing.
I wish you could see your own face when you said, "Nothing."
You're totally lying.
I was just thinking, if it weren't for my oversight
maybe Mr. Chen wouldn't have been hurt again.
This is not your fault at all.
You're only human.
It's not your fault she lied to us.
Anyway, Ms. Zhang gave you false information from the start.
It's hard for you to detect.
Fine.
If you want to assign blame,
then everyone was there at the scene of the event,
so everyone's responsible, including me.
I know you're only saying that to make me feel better.
I know full well, however,
it's my expertise to match up compatible people.
Since this is where it went wrong,
I should shoulder the most blame.
Didn't you hear what I just said?
Anyway, thank you so much for saving me today,
and for speaking up for me at the police station.
I was just--
I was just telling the truth.
Don't read too much into it. All right?
I didn't expect this to happen.
Boss, I'm so sorry.
Don't worry.
You-wei Chen has no case against us in court.
Our contract clearly states
there are risks to online dating.
You can't ensure everyone has good intentions.
It's common sense to make an assessment before placing your trust in others.
Everyone knows, even family members can't always be trusted with your money.
He can't blame us for it.
But You-wei Chen only got hurt this time
because he placed his trust in me.
Xiao-tong, you're great all around,
but sometimes you're too emotional.
Don't take all the blame onto yourself.
You can't even be sure what really happened.
Why would you admit it's your fault?
But I--
This is the end of this discussion.
Why don't you take this opportunity to take some time off?
Boss, I don't need to take time off. Really, I don't.
Our job is to bring potential romance to our members
and help them find happiness.
With your downcast vibes right now, how can you do that?
How can you bring them happiness?
You go take some time off, I insist.
- Xin-xin, Allen. - Yes, Boss?
You guys heard it, too.
Xiao-tong will take some time off.
You two take turns to cover her work.
Sure, no problem.
Yes, Boss.
Good luck, then.
Yes, Boss.
It's all right, Xiao-tong. It's good to take a few days off.
Xin-xin's right.
Just think of it as a vacation. Why not take advantage of it?
It's unpaid leave!
How did she hear that?
- I should get to work. - Jeez!
What are you doing here during office hours?
Slacking off?
It's too early. You can't be visiting a client.
You got kicked out?
What's wrong?
You got yelled at for what happened?
It was my idea to organize the singles mixer.
I'll go talk to her.
No.
Boss didn't reprimand me or anything.
She consoled me instead.
Then why are you sad?
I thought about it all night.
I thought,
if the questionnaire and compatibility calculations were wrong,
I could make changes to them.
However, I took it upon myself to do the compatibility analysis for them.
I don't know how many people have lost faith in love because of me.
Now even my job doesn't need me anymore.
Where are you going?
I'll keep you company.
That's all right. I want to be alone.
No.
At least let me find someone to keep you company.
Hello?
What?
I'm just around the office. Be right back.
It's fine. You should get back to work.
I'll be all right on my own.
I'll be right back.
Call me if you need anything.
Remember!
What's the problem with you two now?
This ex-couple wants to make the divorce party the bigger the better.
So we must throw a big party.
I'm all for big parties.
But have you seriously considered what we can do on their budget?
Jia-wei, what do you say--
You guys called me back just for this?
Boss, we have a difference in opinion.
You're the boss, only you can make the final decision.
We've never had this problem before? Huh?
Can't you figure out their needs before making a decision?
Since your budget is limited,
we will make the decoration simplistic yet elegant.
If you still have questions,
we can make further adjustments. It's up to you guys.
After reading so much,
and learning so many theories,
I thought I could help others get back on their feet,
and help myself start anew.
Now I realize,
I'm not exactly right.
Have you noticed? Boss has been acting differently.
Ever since his run-in with Xiao-tong Guan last time,
he's been completely off.
Sometimes he smiles for no reason, or erupts for no reason.
That's so scary.
He's no longer the same man who used to work to heal his broken heart.
We didn't say anything.
We were talking about clients.
We're going to see clients.
- Nothing. See you. - Bye.
By the way, we're meeting with You-wei Chen tomorrow.
I'm home.
- Xiao-tong, you came back just in time. - Dad.
Go wash your hands and get ready to eat.
Sure.
You cooked? Where's Mom?
She's in the back making fish.
We invited a restaurant chef today.
Your mother is always troubling him.
So we invited him to join us for a meal.
He's very handsome.
Huh?
- Xiao-tong, you're back. - Mom.
I have a friend I'd like you to meet.
Hi, Xiao-tong.
It's you?
You two know each other?
We do.
That's perfect!
I'm taking cooking lessons from Mr. Xiang.
And you two know each other.
It's totally meant to be.
That saves me the trouble of having to introduce you two.
Mr. Xiang, you're our guest.
You shouldn't be helping out.
It's fine, Papa Guan.
I couldn't help myself when I saw the kitchen.
I made a cold dish while I was at it.
You seem to have won over my parents' stomachs already.
I'll go get it.
Let me help you.
Try this.
Mom made it just for you. Taste it.
This is very good.
Xiao-tong, although today's dishes seem like everyday home-cooking,
today's flavors are a little different, right?
I learned it from Mr. Xiang.
You probably have no idea
how much time your mother spent on these dishes.
She did it to satisfy your picky taste buds.
And she had a famous chef teaching her.
More importantly, the dishes Mr. Xiang taught your mother
happen to be your favorites.
Papa Guan, Mama Guan, you're too kind.
Thank you so much for the invitation today.
It just so happens that Xiao-tong and I know each other.
Don't be so formal with me.
Please call me Zi-yan.
- Sure. Zi-yan. - Zi-yan.
Xiao-tong.
Xiao-tong Guan,
why are you spacing out?
Zi-yan,
this cold dish is quite tasty!
I saw cucumbers in the fridge earlier.
So I made them into my signature cold dish.
If you like this dish,
I can write down the special recipe for you.
You can make it yourself, too.
Sure. Thank you.
What's wrong?
You're not well?
No.
I'm fine.
Take your time. Don't be in a rush.
Go on, eat up.
Being in a bad mood is just a temporary thing.
If you dwell on it, you'll only make yourself more upset.
Just take a step back,
or revisit the matter after a while.
You'll laugh at yourself for thinking there's no way out of it.
How did you know I was in a bad mood?
I guessed it when I saw you keep eating from the same dish earlier.
Really?
I'm really bad at masking my own feelings.
My parents were a little too friendly with you.
Please don't mind them.
Why would I mind that?
I'm overjoyed that your parents like me.
You seem to have a magical power.
Whoever is in your presence
can be impacted by your positive energy.
You must find an exit for negative emotions.
You can talk to someone if you have trouble figuring it out.
I'm happy to process it with you.
Hello, Xin-xin? Can you do me a favor?
I want to take a trip on my own for a few days,
but I told my mom I'm going on a business trip.
Don't let her find out the truth.
Xiao-tong Guan, are you going to shut-in somewhere?
No, I just want to be alone for a while.
Don't worry about me.
How can I not be worried?
I can ask to take a few days off. I'll go with you, all right?
No, it's fine.
You're probably very busy right now.
You should just focus on your work.
Xiao-tong Guan, I know you won't listen no matter what I say,
but don't be so considerate of others all the time.
You should prioritize yourself for once.
All right, I should get going. Bye-bye.
SHUT DOWN BLOG? YES? NO?
YES
