You claimed the credit
and now you’re passing the buck?
You wanted a pay raise.
How about a resignation now?
OK.
Are you firing me?
Bauhinia isn’t the only hotel in Suhai.
I don’t believe a pretty young chef like me
can’t find a job.
Chef Gu, Chef Gu.
The kitchen is over there.
The dressing room is over here.
Annoying.
What?
Isn’t this the dish you approved last time?
Thousand-island Lake caviar with scallop meat.
Such a show-off.
You like it?
No.
No, no, no.
Don’t like it? Just change it.
You said this one
melted in your mouth or something.
Wait.
How many seconds
did I use to cut it?
I didn’t count.
Did I really praise this hotel?
Did I?
Maybe my taste didn’t work
or has upgraded.
Yes, upgraded.
Just enjoy.
You’ve become pickier.
It’s impossible.
I submitted so many resumes
and have received zero phone calls.
Do the HR of all these 5-star hotels
not have computers?
One has a computer.
Hello, my name is Gu Shengnan.
You got my resume?
Miss Gu.
Meng Xinjie.
What do you want? Make it quick.
I’m waiting for phone calls.
Nothing. Give us the money as soon as possible.
This is the final day.
Why Why are you so mean?
The borrower has the final say.
You wait.
Was I mean?
My boss is right.
OK then. I’ll see you in court.
Cour
Cour
Court?
No, no, no.
Is he going to sue me?
I’m done.
My life is done.
I’m doomed. What can I do?
I still got a silver lining.
OK.
I got it.
Hey, beauty. Waiting for a car?
Hey, driver.
You’re a Didi Driver, huh?
Have you seen any Didi driver drives a Ferrari?
Why are you so cocky?
Your boss got a new car.
All right, all right.
Don’t be so mean.
How about I give you a ride?
OK, I’ll give you this chance.
Where to?
Xu Zhaodi,
I’m going to see my grandpa.
If I can’t get any money,
I’ll be sued.
You wait and
get locked in jail with me.
Gu Shengnan,
have some faith in your grandpa.
He can afford the compensation.
He’s a boss.
Hey, hey, wait.
The woman who invites you in jail
is a cook, right?
How do you know?
Is Gu Shengnan your bestie?
Richard Meng,
in order to get me,
you’ve become a private detective.
You offended my boss.
Who is your boss?
Lu Jin.
1123?
Grandpa,
am I your granddaughter or not?
Stop peeling the peanuts.
Just stop! Stop!
Listen to me, please.
I’ve been talking for so long.
You are my granddaughter,
but let’s keep the accounts clear.
What do you want to say?
Just say it.
Since you’re so cold-hearted,
I’ll be straightforward.
Can you give me back
the red packet that I gave you?
I knew it.
Small problem.
You’ve missed your chance.
Next year,
I’ll give it to you,
plus the interest.
If you don’t give me,
I’ll have to go ask for my dad’s help.
OK.
You’ll go to see your dad?
After your parents got divorced,
I haven’t seen him for a long time.
You two
haven’t seen each other for a decade, huh?
If you could find him,
I’d reward you.
So
we’ve only
got each other.
Can’t you lend
me some money?
How much?
500?
No, no, no.
5,000?
No, no, no.
50,000?
700,000.
So why do you stick 5 fingers out?
5 zeroes.
What?
You stir-fried
a person or what?
No,
someone fired me.
Tomorrow, an official of Tourism Australia
will dine with us.
Don’t be late.
I got it.
Mom, but here’s the thing,
I can’t go home because of the acquisition here.
So
What happened?
Li Man told me
that you’ve managed to
force down the price very low.
Nothing,
I can make it lower.
That hotel isn’t worth
your time.
Make it quick.
OK, OK, I got it.
Bye.
Jie.
What’s the order, boss?
I’m hungry.
My God, you’re hungry at last.
Why are you standing still?
Because I don’t have a solution.
I went out to look for food
but nothing satisfies you.
The food you like
is near us. Just downstairs.
But you won’t eat.
Why wouldn’t I eat?
You swore that
What?
I’m ordering it right away.
Oh, I just remembered. You don’t get to eat.
Miss Gu got fired.
Who did it?
Manager Shen.
Manager Shen?
Manager Shen said
he wouldn’t keep the person
that upsets Mr. Lu.
She used to be a waitress.
You like her cooking
so she got promoted to a chef.
Now you don’t like her cooking,
why would he keep her around?
That’s what he said.
Manager
Manager Shen
is right.
She deserves it.
That’s why you can’t piss me off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give me the water.
Love makes water palatable.
Sorry.
= Yard =
Mr. Gu,
please,
spare me some money.
When I find a job,
I’ll I’ll
pay you back in installments.
Installments?
OK, OK.
Your culinary skill
is only good enough
to be an errand-girl here.
If you are in trouble,
you can work in this place.
You’ll be in charge of the chores
like dish-washing and dish-serving.
OK.
OK.
Daily wage.
Daily wage?
Peanuts. My peanuts.
You keep peeling.
I’ll peel them with you.
I won’t pay for this.
Then you do it on your own.
Boss,
there’s a restaurant called Purple Door
500 meters ahead of us.
The rating seems to be high.
One star and a half. Pass.
Uh,
200 meters after the left turn,
there’s one where I dined before called Sky Loft.
They got a
Next.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Worse than the previous two.
Keep looking.
Boss, how about we
lower the standard a little bit?
Keep looking.
I don’t want you to starve.
It’s bad for your health.
I’m OK.
= Yard Fry Diner =
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
All right. OK. Just
pick a random one.
O OK.
When you stop the car next time,
can you give me a heads-up?
My bad.
Too abrupt.
Too abrupt.

Shengnan,
I was in the bathroom for a few minutes,
you sneaked into the kitchen again?
So many customers are rushing us.
I just want to
You’re unbelievable.
I just want to help you.
I’ve been a cook for decades.
My reputation can’t be ruined by you.
Out, out.
Go help Bean Curd.
Don’t make trouble in the kitchen.
Don’t copy me.
Out, out, out.
Go help Bean Curd.
Out, out, out.
This is done.
Don’t.
I’ll take it.
Mr. Lu, huh?
Why are you here?
You are out of our league.
And
I thought you didn’t want to see me again.
I don’t know why
you’re here too.
See that Gu?
Are you blind?
You own all places that have the word Gu?
Not necessarily.
Shengnan,
how can you argue with a customer
on your first day?
Sir,
can I ask you a question?
Please ask.
Do you own this diner?
Yes.
She’s my granddaughter.
This is terrible. I’ll change it for another one.
No, sir.
I’ll take this.
I just want this.
Thanks.
Please serve our customer well.
I’m going back to the kitchen.
Serve your customer well.
Serve my customer well.
Thank you.
You don’t get to eat it.
Miss Gu.
It’s yours.
I don’t want to eat it anyway.
You have eaten the dishes.
Cut the bullshit.
You have eaten the dishes
and drunk your wine.
I’ll pay.
You can’t dine and dash, young man.
Mr. Lu.
You’re addicted to embarrassing yourself, huh?
How can you refuse to pay?
I’ll slap you.
Come on.
You’re unreasonable.
- Yeah, I slapped your face. So?
- Mrs. Wang.
Are you OK?
- Boss, a little diner like this
- You had it coming.
- is too noisy. - Shengnan,
he’s drunk and refuses to pay.
Who says I refuse to pay?
What?
I’ll cop the police. Stay the hell away.
Who the hell are you?
You can’t do this.
This is uncivil.
Zhaodi, Zhaodi,
I’ll need to stay at yours for a while.
I pissed Fussy Lu off again.
No wonder Meng Xinjie
asked me for your address.
I thought
they wanted you back in the hotel.
Are Are you trying to get me killed?
Alright, I’m out.
Don’t run away. Don’t run away.
Come back. Let’s talk.
I’ll call the police.
Mr. Meng, I’m exercising.
What happened
wasn’t my fault.
It was those two hooligans’ fault.
Please cut me some slacks today,
and I’ll ask Xu Zhaodi
to buy you a meal tomorrow.
Who is Xu Zhaodi?
Celine Xu.
Celine Xu, huh?
That surely is an attractive offer.
But no.
If I let you go today,
I’ll lose my assistant job.
You can’t even be slightly generous?
You deserve
to be a fake rich man for your whole life.
I am a fake rich man.
But if you got to run away,
you’d be a real fugitive.
Right.
Mr. Lu, don’t worry.
Just a scratch.
Nothing serious.
You fainted
because your belly was empty for too long.
It was hypoglycemia.
So
please follow a regular diet.
Please get some rest.
I’ll leave you be.
Thanks.
Boss,
you’re starving, right?
I got a take-out for you. Have some.
No.
A full bag of glucose.
I’m full.
You should get your glucose earlier,
so you didn’t have to suffer.
I’m joking.
Um, I took her here.
Would you like to see her now?
Come in.
Be quick.
Hi, Mr. Lu.
Jie,
take your phone out.
Please don’t call the police.
Open the calculator.
Car cleaning fee,
mental damage compensation,
cost of lost labor,
hospitalization cost,
medical bill,
and nutrition cost.
Never mind the small expenses.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 digits.
130,000!
You’re blackmailing me.
Mr. Lu,
I heard the doctor said
nothing serious.
This is unacceptable.
I don’t have the energy to argue with you.
Here’s what’s gonna happen.
Jie will call our lawyer, Mr. Li.
They’ll discuss it.
Mr. Li must be asleep.
Don’t disturb him.
Mr. Lu, look.
Don’t come over.
Stand here.
Don’t get so close to him.
Mr. Lu, you see,
your head
took a hit in Fry Diner, right?
This was because
the drunk guy refused to pay Mrs. Wang
so I fought the fellow.
You should ask Mrs. Wang
for the money.
But if she doesn’t have so much money,
I have another solution,
which is my grandpa.
They are
dating at an old age.
Old people like them
have some savings,
am I right?
I have never seen
such a wicked granddaughter like you.
Call the lawyer.
No, no. I’ll compensate you, OK?
You annoying big bosses
never lose because you got your lawyers.
So where is the money?
You haven’t given us
the car reparation money.
You saw what happened to me.
I got promoted and then fired.
But I will pay you back as I promised.
In installments.
Can I make installment payments?
There’s a better way
than installment payment.
Not my kidney. Not my kidney.
I don’t need your kidney.

Thanks.
Move, move, move.
Finland is famous for the Finnish Sauna,
Why Finnish cuisine?
We can enjoy Finnish Sauna.
It’s upstairs.
We can do that after the meal.
Stop.
Who do you think you are?
Finnish Sauna with a driver?
If people know
I’m too embarrassed to tell people this.
Yes.
This is
a shady meal anyway.
I buy you this meal
to thank you for
selling your bestie out.
I didn’t sell her out,
you just got her address from me
through a dirty trick.
You didn’t sell your bestie out?
It doesn’t matter.
What matters is
your bestie sold you out.
In order to escape from us,
she asked you to buy me a meal.
I
I can’t believe she’s so nasty.
Not really.
Although I have to admit that
I was intrigued
when she offered the chance to see you,
I resisted the temptation.
Save it,
you just want to keep your job.
Waiter, where’s the menu?
Waiter?
Wai
All right, all right.
Be graceful.
If you call waiter,
no one will respond to you.
Tarjoilija,
menu.
Please.
What do you want?
Salmon soup.
Two pieces of reindeer steak.
Two glasses of white wine,
and chocolate blueberry pie for dessert.
Thanks.
Thank you for your order.
This restaurant
serves perfect reindeer steak and salmon soup.
I’m not sure you can get used to them.
So I just made a random order.
You know quite a lot.
Just a gimmick.
Mr. Lu, welcome.
It was quite an adventure to your home.
Please.
I can do it myself.
Just a casual meal.
Why are you so serious?
Mr. Lu,
you aren’t an average guest.
You’re the richest person that ever dines
in my house.
I have prepared
red wine, for which I paid 58, and water.
Which one do you prefer?
No.
Someone will drop the wine for me later.
My wine, thanks.
Wine for Mr. Lu.
Thanks.
OK.
I like classy customers like you.
Decant the wine.
OK.
First up,
Crab meat, sea urchin and caviar.
Can you stop holding a bath towel
next to me?
You make me feel I’m here to take a bath.
Sorry, Mr. Lu,
for making you feel that way.
But your arrival really
shines my humble shed.
Please
enjoy your meal.
How much?
It’s 1,320.
I’ll scan you.
Wait, go Dutch.
Your Chinese is good when we check out.
Here.
Oh, you two share a table.
I wanted to pay for the meal.
We ate
and we met.
This is the end of us.
Please do not
use any excuses to
ask me out in the future.
As a driver,
your money is hard-earned.
Save some money.
How about Finnish Sauna? My treat.
Please pay the bill.
It’s 2,600 in total.
2,600?
So expensive.
Mr. Lu, I’ll show you the details.
The meal alone
is 500.
But I have to add 20% as the service tip,
which is 600.
It’s expensive
because your wine is expensive.
I brought my own wine.
20% for corkage fee. Standard charge.
So the meal is
2,600.
And considering it went well
between us,
I’ll erase the 600.
2,000, OK?
2,600 it is then.
Thank you and hope to see you again.
Thank you.
Travel safe.
Be safe.
Bye-bye.
Counter clockwise
Close the door, please.
= Countdown for Debt Payment =
Cheers.
Uncle.
Tell you what,
your idea is nasty.
Yes.
2,600 for one meal?
You’ll pay off your debts in several meals.
And this is a long-term business.
It’s perfect, Shengnan.
Quit being a cook,
just open a restaurant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll work for you.
You cook, I’ll be the waitress.
Right.
Bottoms up.
Yes, I know.
Yeah, don’t worry.
I have very good decision-making ability.
Yeah.
So.
OK, I’ll be there.
Yeah, next week.
OK, see you.
Sorry, too much stuff.
It’s OK.
Here.
Will you start?
Mr. Lu, here’s the thing.
Many companies have the intention to
buy my hotel
and they will
pay more than you do.
So why are you here?
You should be talking to them,
right?
I think
there’s a special connection between you and us.
Zhenghong Group
is the first one to reach out to us.
So to be fair,
I should at least come to talk with you first.
Hadn’t your offer been too low,
we would have been drinking wine
at the contract-signing party.
Mr. Fang, I’ll be forthright.
If you ask
whether my offer would change or not,
I can answer you very seriously right now. Yes.
The longer you own the hotel,
the lower my offer will become.
I’m busy.
Mull it over
and get back to me.
I’m not in a hurry.
= Chengdeli =
Please enjoy.
Thanks.
Sous Vide Australian Sirloin Steak.
Mr. Lu,
what will you be drinking today?
I assume you’ve brought your own wine?
Yes.
Balbianki Dry Red Wine.
This must be expensive.
I’ll help you
No need.
You do it.
Mr. Lu,
you must know that
corkage fee doesn’t mean uncorking the bottle,
it means the service fee for bringing
your own wine.
We know that, Miss Gu.
But too bad,
this bottle of wine isn’t sold in mass market.
It is valuable
but it’s one of the collections
from a private wine cellar.
Hence, the price is 0.
You need a decanter, right?
Sorry for disappointing you
but no.
Not in the mass market?
Perhaps it didn’t get the hygiene license.
You might be poisoned
and foam at your mouth.
Music.
The DJ is off work.
You finish your beef off.
No decanter?
Are you a cow,
listening to music when eating?
How come you have time to come to me today?
Have you paid off your debts?
Did he fall for that trick again?
My life is so hard.
What?
He’s so slick now.
He brought his own wine
but without a brand.
He told me it was a priceless home-made wine.
The wine wasn’t even decanted. He just drank it.
Rich people can be stingy too.
I’m here to ask you
for more nasty tricks.
Hey, watch it.
No,
your constructive ideas.
Come here.
Stand still.
What are you doing?
Tell you what,
I’m not a hooker.
What are you talking about?
Stand still.
Put your hands down.
I’m measuring your size.
