What do you want?
I want to go to the toilet.
Toilet?
It’s out there.
Out there?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
The female chef
May I meet her?
Female chef?
Yes.
There’s no female chef.
Go. Go to the toilet.
Thanks, anyway.
This is the cost of support
I give you on behalf of my father.
I don’t give it for no reason.
Never say you have no children anymore.
My father is your son. I am your granddaughter.
Did you see my
Don’t touch it!
All right. All right.
Where’s the S-shaped pumpkin?
I put it in another box.
Don’t touch it.
But it’s just a spoon.
Is it a western antique?
You don’t understand. It’s a glass slipper.
From which Cinderella?
None of your business.
Oh, Gu’s Special Sauce.
You know what?
You’ve lost your job.
And you owe a debt.
But it’s okay.
I’ll make you a new coat
and a new hat.
Let’s start over again.
Wait for me.
I I have something to tell you.
I don’t want any explanation.
I’m not coming to explain.
I don’t accept apologies, either.
I’m not coming to apologize, either.
Where’s my weapon?
All right. All right.
Even if you don’t help me,
try to help the whole kitchen.
Almost all chefs will be fired.
What happened?
The guest in Room 1123 ordered something again.
Who do you mean?
He is
How shall I explain?
Uh
He’s a man who accidentally tried
your Finger-licking Fried Rice.
You can be full by playing with your phone?
I just had the buffet downstairs.
If you think
you can accept such coarse food,
I’ll go pack some for you.
How arrogant you sound!
You described the breakfast in a five-star-hotel
as coarse food.
Maybe I’ve improved my taste
when working for you in recent years.
Why haven’t my dishes come yet?
I’m starving.
I’ll go hurry them up.
Sit down!
Be patient.
You can’t let them realize
I love their dishes.
Yes. Yes.
But let me remind you.
Yesterday,
you ate up all the fried rice.
Remember to be
a bit more elegant.
That was an accident.
Okay.
This is the baked salmon with cheese
made by the chef
who made Finger-licking Fried Rice yesterday.
Don’t forget to be elegant.
Manager Shen.
There’s a building over there.
Doesn’t its color affect the guests
when they rest or sleep?
Why don’t you make some changes?
Have a new color.
Mr. Lu.
That’s a government building.
No wonder it looks so dignified.
Take the dish away.
= F&B Manager =
Have some more.
The more you eat,
the happier I’ll feel.
Who is it?
Manager Shen, I’ve got something to talk to you.
Shengnan.
We have
hired you again, right?
What else do you want?
I want a negotiation.
Shengnan.
Look at you.
You’re a mere employee.
Why do you think
you can have a negotiation with me?
I was a mere employee.
But now,
I’m a mere employee
who can satisfy the guest in Room 1123
while no one else can.
Do you think I can negotiate with you?
Young guy.
You can’t show off
just because you’ve made
some small contributions.
I see.
I understand that.
But young guys like me
enjoy showing off as long as we can.
You’re showing off already.
What the hell do you want?
A promotion and a pay rise.
No way.
Fine.
Where are you going?
Go back home and sleep.
Don’t don’t you even work?
The hotel will be acquired, anyway.
I’ll go back home earlier
and move less.
Then I’ll live longer.
I wondered why you were so arrogant.
So, you knew everything.
I hear that
chances are as few
as good men.
When I meet one, I must seize it.
I’m asking you for the last time.
I want a promotion and a pay rise.
Can I have them?
Yes.
Well, I know how far I can go.
I don’t want too much.
I don’t dream to be a head chef.
Just give me a title as the official chef.
I don’t want a higher salary.
Just pay me the same as other chefs.
If you have a partiality for me,
just give me some more bonuses.
What are you thinking about? Partiality?
I
Since you know everything,
let me be frank.
Now we are
making use of each other.
No personal feelings are involved.
That’s the best!
I like such a pure working relationship.
Wish us a happy cooperation.
Why must I shake hands with you?
Satisfied?
If you are, leave.
Or people will gossip about us.
Fine.
Shall I close the door?
Leave!
Okay.
Shengnan?
No one else is in. Come in.
Oh, dear.
You look so cool.
Shall I call you
Miss Gu?
Don’t ask.
Call me right now.
Come on. Do it.
When we started to work, we had a pinky swear.
Whoever is rich will take care of the other one.
Yes.
But it depends on how you behave.
Miss Gu!
Eggs Benedict. Australian four-rib lamb chop.
Boston lobster.
French onion soup with cheese bread.
Trumpet, lobster with
Mr. Yu.
Please make these dishes.
Okay.
Come on. Prepare the side dishes.
Shengnan.
From now on,
you’ll just make dishes
for the guest in Room 1123.
But the guest doesn’t
order too many dishes a day.
When he doesn’t order dishes,
wait and have some rest.
If you feel tired, lie down.
But remember.
Once he orders anything,
cook for him at any time.
Even if you’re sleeping at home
in the evening,
you must come back.
No problem.
I can always be ready
for the guest in Room 1123.
Manager Shen, don’t forget
to get my salary ready.
We’ll talk about it later.
I’m so jealous of you.
You can stand there and get paid.
= Don’t Call Me Bestie =
I hear you got promoted.
Come hurriedly after work.
Party with us!
Let’s get high.
You two refused to lend me any money!
Now you check in a suite to celebrate for me.
Who gets rich?
We celebrate for you
and you’ll pay for the party.
Sure.
Me?
The wine
The wine
I brought it.
Wait.
First, I haven’t collected enough money
to pay for the Ferrari.
So, I can’t pay for the suite.
Second, if you really want to
celebrate for me,
I can take you to have a barbecue.
Enjoy yourselves there. Go.
- Gu Shengnan! - Gu Shengnan!
Stand right there.
Yeah.
Shengnan.
You’re now an official chef.
Chef.
Barbecue and beer
will be beneath your dignity.
I don’t think so.
Don’t be stubborn.
How stingy you are!
This is an executive suite.
Do you think it’s an hourly rate room
and we can check out as we wish?
No matter if you sleep here or not,
you must pay for the whole night.
But I don’t have enough money
for even one night.
How much do you have then?
One third?
Good.
Let’s go Dutch.
The wine is almost finished.
Would you like to have a bath, too?
This suite costs so much.
We should make full use of it.
What what are you doing?
Enjoying the wine. Come on.
Come on.
Where did you get so many bottles of wine?
From the bar counter.
Silly girl.
What’s wrong with you?
Don’t you know how expensive they are?
Put them down!
- It’s open. - It’s open.
Well
Let’s open another bottle.
Come on. Let’s celebrate.
Let’s propose a toast
to Shengnan.
Cheers.
It tastes so hot.
Let’s get high.
= Are you or are you not satisfied
with the sound insulation effect? =
Bad guys.
You’re bad guys.
Bad guys. Bad guys.
You used to order me around.
When you need me, you bring me back.
When you don’t, you kick me away.
Who do you think I am?
A yo-yo?
Yes. I’m a yo-yo.
Yes, you are.
Or why did you come back
immediately after the F&B Department asked you?
You’re willing to be a busgirl.
Yeah.
But luckily, you’re finally smart this time.
At least,
you know how to get profits for yourself.
If so,
we should be grateful to
the fire accident.
Yes. Yes.
Otherwise, servile as you are, Shengnan,
you’ll still suffer.
Yes.
You should be grateful to the alarm
which helps you to realize the reality.
Oh, I got it.
We should be most grateful to
Room 1123.
Room 1123.
It gives us a new life.
A new life.
Shengnan?
Enjoy the wine, Shengnan.
She’s asleep.
Asleep?
Let’s drink ourselves.
I won’t.
I’ve got a date in the disco.
I gotta go.
I’ll leave Shengnan to you.
Don’t.
I want to leave her to you.
I must get home before twelve o’clock.
Are you Cinderella?
Get home before twelve?
What if you don’t? Your car will be a pumpkin?
No.
If I’m late,
Zenan will lock me out.
Zenan. Zenan?
A roommate like him is so strict with you.
Are you
Shut up!
What are you talking about?
Keep quiet.
Okay. I’ll be right there.
Yes. Yes.
One crossing away. I’ll be right there. Okay.
If you leave, what will she do?
What will she do?
Shengnan?
Shengnan?
She’s so drunk.
I don’t think she’ll make trouble.
Yes.
But
If we leave like this,
aren’t we too immoral?
Get my bag for me.
Get my bag for me.
Yes.
I’m going to Room 1123 to say thank you.
Room 1123!
Thank you for
Who are you?
Thank you for giving me a new life.
Who are you?
It’s you?
I remember you.
Get up.
Get up.
Don’t pretend to be drunk.
= Hotel Reception =
Get up.
Get up.
Waiter.
Hello, sir.
Get me a glass of wine.
Okay. Wait.
Sir, you lost your car key.
Thank you.
I’m Richard Meng.
May I have your name?
Celine Xu.
Celine?
That’s a nice name.
May I
May I buy you a drink?
Sure.
Waiter. Get us some XO.
Two glasses?
One bottle.
Okay.
Sir.
This is your room card of Bauhinia Hotel.
Sir.
WeChat or Alipay?
Or Ant Credit Pay?
= Boss =
Sorry, Miss.
I’ve got a call.
Excuse me.
Celine.
Shall we open it?
Put it away.
I’ve seen so many guys like him.
When he comes back, he’ll say
“I’ve got something urgent to do.
Shall we leave each other a contact?”
Then he’ll spend no money
and get my phone number.
Celine, sorry.
I’ve got something urgent to do.
What’s so urgent?
For a morning market?
Not really.
An emergency.
How about this?
Shall we leave each other a contact?
How about having breakfast together
tomorrow morning?
Forget it.
Ladies like us don’t have breakfast.
I gotta go.
Fine.
How did she do that?
Boss, here I am.
Come on.
You’re good, huh?
Awesome.
You get me wrong.
Let’s get out.
You’re good.
This is this is really unexpected.
Who is this girl?
Do I know her?
The girl who messed up with me.
Oh, I see.
The girl who messed up with my Ferrari.
It’s her?
Yes.
Do I still need to urge her to pay?
What do you mean?
Let me make it clear.
She came to me.
I haven’t done anything.
Yeah, I can see that.
She was drunk and came to me.
She splashed the wine on me.
Then I took my shirt off.
But it’s not what you think it is.
But I just wonder
I just wonder
how did she get in without the room card.
That’s what I want to ask you.
Why did she suddenly turn up in my balcony?
She you
Why was she in my balcony?
She climbed from the balcony next door?
She certainly did.
But no way.
She just told me she didn’t have money in the day.
How could she live in a suite?
It’s a suite next door, isn’t it?
How do I know?
I don’t care.
Check carefully
who she really is,
what she does and why she sticks to me.
All right.
I know. I’ll go check it.
Do it tomorrow.
It’s so kind of you. Tomorrow?
I’ll ask her right now.
You’re right.
Uh, what happened?
She’s gone.
The balcony door is open.
Did she
I think she left
in the way she came.
Did she?
I haven’t done anything.
You saw that.
I
What?
The guest in Room 1123 is the owner of the Ferrari?
You sneaked into his room
and splashed the wine on him?
Hair-raising can be the right word.
Room 1123!
Thanks for giving me a new life.
Who are you?
It’s you?
It’s you?
I remember you.
Get up.
Don’t pretend to be drunk.
Get up.
Gu Shengnan, calm down. Don’t give yourself away.
Get up. Get up.
Wake up.
Where is he taking me?
Damn it. So close.
He’s seen my whole body.
Where are you going?
Why is he taking off his shirt?
Come to me soon.
I don’t care where you are.
Come to my room
within five minutes.
Another man is coming?
What a freak!
Fine, then.
I’ll fight it out with you.
What am I thinking?
It’s my best chance to leave.
Could it be a romance trap?
He’s even having a bath.
Where is my slipper?
Boss, here I am.
Stop looking.
You’re good, huh?
This is this is really unexpected.
Who is this girl?
Do I know her?
Let me make it clear.
She came to me.
I haven’t done anything.
Yeah, I can see that.
She was drunk and came to me.
She splashed the wine on me.
Then I took my coat off.
But it’s not what you think it is.
But I just wonder
I just wonder
how did she get in without the room card.
That’s why I want to ask you.
Why did she suddenly turn up in my room?
Why was she in my balcony?
Screwed, Gu Shengnan.
You’re going to a chef
who works for the shortest time in this hotel.
I’m right, huh?
Chances are as few as good men.
When you don’t pay attention,
they slip away.
I don’t think so!
The guest in Room 1123 knows
I live next door
and he knows
I put noodles into his Ferrari.
But he doesn’t know I’m a chef here.
So, from now on,
as long as I restrain myself
and behave humbly,
he won’t recognize me
and I’ll still be the youngest chef
in this hotel.
Yes, you’ll be.
Good luck, then.
Good luck.
Shengnan.
The guest in Room 1123 ordered something.
Red wine?
Give it to the beverage department.
Why are you giving this to me?
The guest in Room 1123 said
this was an assigned subject.
Red wine is the topic.
You’ll decide what else to do.
Assigned subject.
= No. 1123 Red Wine =
Steak with red wine and nuts.
The top sirloin
Filet steak.
It’s the leanest part
and tastes the tenderest.
Black pepper goes well with the steak.
It removes the fishy taste.
Plant oil is applied to the surface of steak
to lock the moisture.
Rub it gently
so that the steak is tender.
Shallots have a special scent.
Its scent comes out with the hot oil.
Add red wine and boil it
until it thickens up.
After the filtering, melted butter
gives a unique milk flavor.
But it has an obvious drawback.
The red wine sauce tastes mellow.
It’ll easily cover the taste of following dishes.
Pine nuts and pecans are put
to balance the flavor
so that the dish will taste smoother.
Mutton chop with red wine and black pepper.
Baked pear with red wine.
Grilled pigeon with truffle and red wine.
Strawberry red wine cocktail.
Rose pudding with red wine.
May I see this female chef?
No. No. No.
I’m not going to see him.
Come on.
You’re meeting a guest
instead of having a blind date.
What makes you so shy?
I’m not shy.
I’m afraid he’ll be shy.
Wh What?
Nothing.
Why does he want to see me?
I think
he finds your dishes good
and wants to reward you.
Reward me?
Reward?
Does he want to beat me?
Here is the thing, Manager Shen.
I don’t always care
about the money thing.
I won’t go.
I won’t.
You don’t care about the money thing?
I don’t.
Look.
I’ve prepared a bonus for you.
I had meant to reward you.
Forget it, then.
I don’t care about the money thing.
But bonus is different.
Bonus isn’t
a cold number.
It represents how you appreciate my work.
I appreciate you?
You do.
Go meet him.
What are you looking at?
Boss.
Why must you see the female chef?
Didn’t you tell me
not to waste time on any woman?
I mean stupid guys, not women.
How do you know
she isn’t a stupid woman?
She completed all my tests
in such a short time
and gave me more dishes than I expected.
Isn’t she smarter than you?
You make sense.
You
Are you sure you’re a female chef?
You get me wrong.
I come to meet you on behalf of her.
Come in.
Mr. Lu.
Why doesn’t she come?
The female chef you want to see
fears that her appearance
will make you uncomfortable.
Who do you think Mr. Lu is?
He’s met so many people.
Even the ugliest ones. Why will he be scared?
Please trust me.
I’ve been working with her for years.
I don’t even dare to look at her.
You make me become more interested to see her.
Please get her to me.
Don’t.
If you see her,
you may lose your appetite.
I’ll eat the dishes, instead of her.
What’s this? Put it down.
This is a dish from her.
She said you would understand
after you saw it.
A chicken?
Boss, is she cursing you?
Does she mean
if we find this egg delicious,
we don’t need to find the chicken
that laid the egg?
Yes. Yes.
Then the water means
one must be grateful?
What a deep girl!
Have some water in case I choke on the egg.
Does she mean that?
Mr. Lu, you and she
really think alike.
I’m then more curious.
I must meet her.
Do you know
what happened to the man
who stopped Mr. Lu last time?
What happened to him?
Nothing.
Shengnan.
He’s coming to you.
