Who is it? Come in.
Excuse me.
I’m Lu Jin’s mother.
Be seated.
No, thanks.
Here are some nourishments for you.
It’s so kind of you.
Shengnan said you’re very busy.
You’re welcome. You’re an elder.
I’m here to tell you
if you
need any help in the future,
please talk to me.
Lu Jin
is very busy.
All the group’s business is
on his shoulders.
Please don’t bother him
if not necessary.
This is my assistant’s card.
You can call this number
if anything.
I’ll take my leave.
Shengnan.
I don’t care how you do it.
Take Lu Zheng to me
in half an hour.
Looks like
you’ve lost a lot of weight lately.
You look after Grandpa by yourself.
It’s hard for you.
Thanks for your care, madam.
It’s what I’m supposed to do.
Do you know
why I don’t agree
Lu Jin and you to be together?
Because I’m ordinary.
I’m poor.
I have no money.
Do you mean pedigree?
You’re wrong.
Family background
is never a concern to me.
To tell you the truth,
back then,
I also had nothing.
I took Lu Jin abroad when he’s little
and started the business all alone.
From scratch, I worked hard for 30 years
to get where we are today.
I don’t agree you’re with him
because you will be
his weakness.
Because
you’ll distract him
and make him lose
the sense of judgment on his work.
Zhenghong is a huge group.
It won’t suffer any loss because of me.
I, Zheng Hong,
never overestimate any opponent.
Neither will I underestimate
any potential risk.
Miss Gu.
There’s no doubt
you’re
very charming.
Lu Jin likes you,
cares about your feelings,
and also gets affected by you.
I truly love Lu Jin.
I do this for him as well.
Don’t you want him to be happy?
Happy?
Miss Gu.
Do you think
he’ll be happy
by giving up his huge business
to be with you?
The story of the Warfare of Chu and Han,
I think
you must know it.
When I was young
and first heard the story,
I couldn’t understand
why Xiang Yu, an unrivaled hero,
lost to
Liu Bang, a nobody.
As I grew up and got experienced,
I get to understand.
Because the woman behind Liu Bang
was Lyu Zhi,
while behind Xiang Yu
was Yu Ji.
Being captivated by a beauty,
a man is doomed to fail.
Even the King of West Chu was like that.
Not to mention
an ordinary businessman.
Miss Gu.
Do you think I’m right?
Lu Jin is dealing with
something urgent in Vancouver.
I believe,
given the way he cares about you,
if you tell him
Grandpa is hospitalized,
he’ll surely stop working
and come back overnight to accompany you.
Now I’m gonna call Lu Jin for something.
If you need to talk with him,
say it now on the phone.
Hello.
Lu Jin.
Mom.
How is the work going on?
It’s going well.
I’m with Gu Shengnan.
Let her talk to you.
Shengnan.
Shengnan. Is that you?
Shengnan.
Shengnan.
Sorry. I was too busy to answer
your message.
Shengnan.
Are you there?
Shengnan.
Mom.
Hello, Lu Jin.
Shengnan.
What’s up?
I ran into your mom this afternoon
when I came from the hotel.
We had tea together.
Everything is fine.
Don’t worry about me.
Madam. I’m gonna pay the bill.
Bye.
Mr. Lu.
Mrs. Lu told us to pick you up.
= Inpatient =
Sorry. Sorry.
Shengnan.
Shengnan.
Trumpet has told me.
I’m so tired.
I tried, but I can’t get so much money.
It’s too much.
I can’t get so much money.
It’s fine.
You have me.
Don’t worry about money.
I have money.
Rest assured.
You lend it to me. When I have money,
I’ll pay you back all of it.
It’s fine.
Let your grandpa have the surgery first.
OK?
Alright.
Don’t cry.
How can you see your grandpa like this?
Don’t cry.
Alright.
Go.
Mr. Lu.
You’re so busy.
Where did you come from?
Looks like
it’s Fast and Furious.
Since Mr. Lu has time for the meeting,
I’m sure he already
has a solution
for the company’s problem.
Right?
Please tell us about it.
It’s more like scolding me.
Gentlemen, you’re the elites
in the industry,
the seniors.
There’s no place for me to talk.
Go on. I’m listening.
OK.
The clock is ticking.
We’ll get to the business.
The company
The company is facing
a serious shortfall in funding.
We thought the overseas tourism project
could recover some funds
and relieve the situation.
It turns out
Zhenghong Group is
Go on.
Keep talking.
= Inpatient =
Be careful.
Grandpa. Have lunch.
OK.
Be careful, Grandpa.
OK.
Watch the table.
I made you buckwheat noodles.
And eggs.
It’s light.
Try it.
Yours.
This is rice.
Steak.
It’s especially for me?
Yes.
Enjoy it.
The salad is for you.
Why?
Aren’t you on a diet?
Am I?
I’m fat. I’m fat.
I’m on a diet.
Am I fat?
No. No. No.
What do you mean?
Eat, Grandpa.
Here is the rice.
Eat.
Eat. Grandpa.
Hurry. Eat when it’s warm.
I’ve been eating ward food these days.
There is no taste in my mouth.
Buy me a bag of
Honey Mito.
No. That’s too sweet.
Just eat this.
You can’t eat that before surgery.
Hurry up.
I just want to eat.
I’ll just eat a bit. It doesn’t matter.
Ziqian. Go with her.
No.
Shengnan.
Buy it since Grandpa wants to eat it.
Let’s go.
Go, go, go.
Ziqian. Be careful on the road.
Eat that first or it’ll get cold.
OK. OK.
Eat.
OK.
Quan’an.
Call a car for me.
I’ll go to your office.
Uncle.
You’re sick. Don’t go out.
I’ll go to you if you need anything.
Cut it out.
I finally got Shengnan away.
Call me a car.
By the way,
ask Zhaodi to come along.
OK. Hello.
Is it over?
It’s over.
Mr. Ma. Mr. Peng.
Mom.
How was it? What have you talked about?
Did they make it hard on you?
Rest assured.
Did they propose to reelect the chairman?
No.
Everything in the group goes well.
These directors
didn’t make it hard on me.
They recognized me.
They didn’t dare to start the meeting
without my approval.
Did they recognize you?
A car mechanic?
Look at you.
Why do you look down on car mechanics?
Mom. Sit.
Let me give you an example.
Look.
The whole Mingting Group
is like this four-wheel drive car,
dazzling
and fruitful in achievements.
It gets to where it is today
relying on the tires,
namely the employees,
and also parts and components, gears,
namely the board members.
What’s the most important part?
My dad.
Motor,
the heart of the car.
That’s it?
Well.
You are not part of it,
are you?
I am.
I’m the hand that puts the car
to the track.
What is it?
Market?
Exactly. The market.
Mom. You’re so smart. I’m proud of you.
Uh Well.
Mom.
I had the meeting all day.
My mind is messy.
I’ll go take a nap.
And I’ll go to see my dad later.
Seems you’ve behaved well lately,
going to the hospital so often.
You finally know to please your father?
No. There are good dishes there.
What do you mean?
Make it clear.
Where are the dishes from?
Dishes?
Today,
I get you two here
for your advice.
Of these two lads,
which one is more suitable for Shengnan?
Grandpa. I’ll choose first.
In terms of their age,
Cheng Ziqian is younger.
Cheng Ziqian
wins on age.
Height
Cheng Ziqian is higher as well.
Cheng Ziqian wins.
Uncle. In terms of appearance,
they’re both good.
But,
I prefer men like Lu Jin,
gentle, noble, wealthy,
and also a little ascetic.
More importantly,
he’s manly.
So, in terms of appearance,
Lu Jin wins.
Grandpa. I think Cheng Ziqian is
more handsome.
Look. He’s kind and pretty.
I vote for Cheng Ziqian.
No need to compare their wealth.
Lu Jin overwhelms him.
Do you know how much money Lu Jin has?
Let me give you an analogy.
If
Cheng Ziqian’s wealth is a grain of rice,
then Lu Jin’s wealth is
A bowl of rice?
No. No. A bag of rice.
Five kilograms?
Fifty kilograms.
So,
Lu Jin overwhelms him in wealth.
Funny.
Grandpa.
What good is money alone?
You were badly ill
yet he didn’t show up,
neither did he contribute
money nor effort.
Right?
I used to want to
get a rich boyfriend.
Now think about it.
They can’t help at all
when they’re needed.
It’s Shengnan
who bears it alone.
But Cheng Ziqian
is really good,
offering so much help.
He pays so much attention to Shengnan.
So, in terms of Shengnan’s feeling,
I vote for Cheng Ziqian.
Zhaodi is right.
I’ve been fond of Ziqian
since he’s little.
Their parents also
know each other.
In terms of family relationship,
I vote for Ziqian.
OK.
Ziqian wins.
Besides,
Shengnan and Lu Jin
have a big difference
in family background.
Plus, his mother is mean.
Their life would surely be hard.
Absolutely right, Grandpa.
Picking Cheng Ziqian
is controllable and secure.
Picking Lu Jin
is uncontrollable in many ways.
Too risky.
So, in terms of risk,
Cheng Ziqian overwhelms.
Uncle.
It’s not like the old days.
Family background is no longer a problem.
The difference
in age and family background
won’t be a problem.
The point is that
they love each other.
Shengnan loves Lu Jin.
From this only point,
Lu Jin overwhelms him.
What are you doing?
What’s the use of love?
Leading a peaceful and happy life
is the most important.
Gu Shengnan loses her sense of love.
We should help her make a right decision.
Uncle.
A marriage without love won’t last long.
Shengnan should choose someone she loves.
I’ll pick Lu Jin.
No! No!
Let go!
Women should choose a man
who loves her more.
Xu Zhaodi! Give it to me!
Let go!
Cheng Ziqian has so many wins.
Lu Jin doesn’t have much.
No.
Xu Zhaodi!
Let me go. Give me one.
I won’t.
Xu Zhaodi!
Go to hell!
You always treat me like this!
I’ll just put one up.
Give it to me.
It’s you! It’s you!
Don’t hit me.
Xu Zhaodi!
What?
You always
I won’t help you anymore.
= Win =
Give it to me!
Stop it!
Give it to me!
That’s all we have.
You hit me again!
I’m hitting you!
I Annoying.
You hit my ear.
= Inpatient =
= Operating Room =
Shengnan. Sit for a while.
Don’t worry.
Be seated.
Doctor. How is it?
The operation went well.
He just needs to
rest and recuperate.
Keep it in mind.
No spicy and fatty food.
Thank you.
Thank you, doctor.
You see? I told you it’d be fine.
Let’s sit and wait.
Rest assured.
Thanks for your work and efforts
these days and nights.
We’ve had a tough
but wonderful battle.
Thank you, everyone.
I’ll go home tomorrow.
The sequent work
is on you.
Mr. Lu.
We plan to expand the Asian Street.
You’re needed to inspect the site.
It also concerns the further planning
of the project.
I’ve privately scheduled it tomorrow
for you.
If you have something else,
it can be postponed.
But actually,
it’ll take a day at most.
OK. Up to you.
As planned,
my treat tonight.
Jie.
Have you booked the place?
Yes. Rest assured.
Let’s go.
I’ll get the file done.
It won’t be long.
OK.
= Shengnan =
Hello.
Lu Jin.
You
You have no idea what has happened.
My grandpa fainted suddenly.
I sent him to the hospital
and he just had the surgery.
It went well. Don’t worry about me.
I
Hello, Miss Gu. This is Li Man.
Where is Lu Jin?
He can’t be reached for now.
If anything,
I can help you tell him.
Tell him to call me back.
OK.
= Recent Calls Shengnan =
Haven’t you finished?
Did you see my phone?
I meant to take it to you.
Thank you.
It’s done. Let’s go.
My bad memory.
He can’t be reached for now.
If anything,
I can help you tell him.
You’re from the hotel
to deliver the cake, right?
Please wait for a while.
Just give the cake to me.
Thanks.
Take this.
Li Man! Li Man! Sis.
She is no ordinary woman.
She’s the deputy president of our group.
You’ve been on my mind ever ♪
Since I saw you smiling at me ♪
Your smile ♪
Baby I’m just falling to you ♪
Shengnan.
Are you tired?
Take a nap.
Lu Jin.
Does he know Grandpa’s hospitalized?
He doesn’t.
I didn’t tell him.
He’s busy. I didn’t bother him.
Did he tell you when he’d come home?
Not long, maybe.
= Inpatient =
Grandpa.
You’re playing phone again,
not resting.
I bring you meals.
Take a rest after eating.
You just had the surgery.
Don’t get too tired. You should lie down.
I had a general anesthetic.
I’ve had enough sleep.
I’d like
to be sober as long as I can.
Alright.
You must take a rest after eating.
Got it?
I’ll go to work.
It’s fine. I’ll help you ask for a leave.
You can’t take too many days off.
Just let Ziqian stay here with me.
Don’t always let Ziqian accompany you.
He needs to work as well.
It’s fine. Shengnan.
I’m taking a leave of absence.
I can stay here with Grandpa.
Go to work. Let Ziqian keep me company.
Thank you, Ziqian.
It’s fine.
Take care.
Come. Let’s eat.
No hurry.
Let’s have a talk.
Do you remember this street?
In 2011.
I was a secretary on the board
at the time.
The group
wanted to expand the business
from Europe to Canada.
Ms. Zheng was worried
you couldn’t get used
to a new environment.
I was sent to assist you.
Time flies.
It’s been ten years.
Now the division in Canada
is reconstructing
and expanding this street.
You had
the same hairstyle on that day.
Mr. Lu.
This building’s structure looks good.
Why will it be built into an Asian Street?
Bringing Chinese culture,
Asian culture to the world
is Zhenghong Group’s goal.
I’ve repeated it many times.
Don’t ask me again.
Yes. Mr. Lu. Wait for me.
Wait.
You’re not walking the red carpet.
Why do you wear high-heeled shoes?
I won’t do this again.
I don’t need a spoiled lady here.
Go home if you feel aggrieved.
No. No. Not at all.
Will it do?
You must hate me at that time.
No.
The fact is that
you had the driver send me
a pair of sneakers at night.
Since then,
whenever I go out,
I’ll take a pair of sneakers with me.
Do you remember this store?
We dined here.
I remember
we sit at the center table.
It was a waitress who served us.
Why did you remember so clearly?
Because it was the first day
of your 26th birthday that night.
We worked
and didn’t eat until midnight.
We even
had a quarrel with
the waitress that night.
We ordered prime snowflake beef.
Are you sure this is prime snowflake beef?
Please ask your chef to come here.
Excuse me. The chef is off duty.
We really can’t make what you say.
It’s OK.
If there’s nothing to do,
I’ll leave.
Thank you.
It’s OK.
I’ll go abroad
on my next annual leave.
Seems you haven’t had a leave for long.
I’ll give you a long annual leave.
Then you went to Korea.
Not only Korea,
I also went to Japan,
France, and got into Le Cordon Bleu.
Chefs like me studied there
from zero.
And I
have no talent in cooking.
It took me a long time to graduate.
You try to do everything
to the best.
But my purpose was
simple actually.
I just hoped
you could eat well
after you work overtime every day.
It occurred to me that
I haven’t thanked you for so many years.
But I think I should
say thanks.
Whether it’s your attitude at work,
or the way you care for me in life,
I should thank you.
Sincerely
thank you.
I have a request.
Say it.
Buy me a drink.
= Inpatient =
Ziqian.
You’ve helped us a lot lately.
I know you’re busy.
And you have to run from hotel
to hospital.
Shengnan told me that
the doctor who did surgery for me
was invited by you.
The fee
was paid by you.
Rest assured.
After I check out,
I’ll ask Shengnan to pay you back.
Grandpa. You’re welcome.
My parents were busy when I was young.
I always had meals at your home.
You watched me grow up.
Now you’re sick.
I’m supposed to look after you.
Time flies.
You’re in your thirties.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I just returned home.
Not yet.
This time
I got the heartbreak suddenly
and got hospitalized.
It made me realize that,
given my health,
maybe I can’t see that day.
Grandpa.
I don’t desire much.
I just hope Shengnan can
have a man to rely on.
Grandpa.
Even if you don’t say that
You know
what I mean.
Actually,
I’m already contented
to accompany Shengnan like this.
After all, love cannot be forced.
She already has someone in her heart.
Not like that.
Shengnan’s parents fell in love
at the first sight.
People all think
they’re a perfect match.
Unexpectedly,
their relationship got bad
before long.
In terms of a relationship,
falling in love at first sight is
the most unreliable.
What matters most
is a long-lasting relationship.
Ziqian.
Do you
understand me?
Gu Shengnan is quite adorable.
Being with her,
you must be very happy.
There are surprises indeed.
It’s good to be young,
with all kinds of possibilities.
If I could take a time machine
back when I was 21,
I’d be with you in another way.
You’re good now.
No change is needed.
Right.
I’m the vice president of Zhenghong,
also the chairman of
Global Boutique Alliance.
These are all good.
But you don’t like them.
Let’s change the topic.
Let me finish my words.
Being with you for 10 years,
the biggest regret is that
I didn’t say these words earlier.
In these 10 years,
I keep reminding myself to work harder
and make myself better
so that I can be with you all the time.
I don’t just want to be your partner.
Lu Jin.
I like you.
Don’t drink too much.
You’re drunk.
You didn’t say anything.
I’ll go back and rest.
= Li Man =
Hello.
What’s wrong?
Lu Jin.
I’m bathing in the bathroom, but
the towel runs out.
Can you bring me one?
Li Man.
Even if I bring it to you,
I’ll just leave it at the door.
I won’t open that door.
As long as there’s the door between us,
you and I
will still be good friends,
partners at work,
forever.
You don’t hope
the door is opened as well,
do you?
Alright.
You walked all day.
Don’t sit there.
Go to bed.
Lu Jin.
Thanks.
Good night.
Wait.
Gu Shengnan called you
on the celebration day and I answered it.
I didn’t tell you this.
And I deleted the call log.

The company is facing
a serious shortfall in funding.
We thought the overseas tourism project
could recover some funds
and relieve the situation.
It turns out
Zhenghong Group is
Go on.
Keep talking.
= Inpatient =
Be careful.
Grandpa. Have lunch.
OK.
Be careful, Grandpa.
OK.
Watch the table.
I made you buckwheat noodles.
And eggs.
It’s light.
Try it.
Yours.
This is rice.
Steak.
It’s especially for me?
Yes.
Enjoy it.
The salad is for you.
Why?
Aren’t you on a diet?
Am I?
I’m fat. I’m fat.
I’m on a diet.
Am I fat?
No. No. No.
What do you mean?
Eat, Grandpa.
Here is the rice.
Eat.
Eat. Grandpa.
Hurry. Eat when it’s warm.
I’ve been eating ward food these days.
There is no taste in my mouth.
Buy me a bag of
Honey Mito.
No. That’s too sweet.
Just eat this.
You can’t eat that before surgery.
Hurry up.
I just want to eat.
I’ll just eat a bit. It doesn’t matter.
Ziqian. Go with her.
No.
Shengnan.
Buy it since Grandpa wants to eat it.
Let’s go.
Go, go, go.
Ziqian. Be careful on the road.
Eat that first or it’ll get cold.
OK. OK.
Eat.
OK.
Quan’an.
Call a car for me.
I’ll go to your office.
Uncle.
You’re sick. Don’t go out.
I’ll go to you if you need anything.
Cut it out.
I finally got Shengnan away.
Call me a car.
By the way,
ask Zhaodi to come along.
OK. Hello.
Is it over?
It’s over.
Mr. Ma. Mr. Peng.
Mom.
How was it? What have you talked about?
Did they make it hard on you?
Rest assured.
Did they propose to reelect the chairman?
No.
Everything in the group goes well.
These directors
didn’t make it hard on me.
They recognized me.
They didn’t dare to start the meeting
without my approval.
Did they recognize you?
A car mechanic?
Look at you.
Why do you look down on car mechanics?
Mom. Sit.
Let me give you an example.
Look.
The whole Mingting Group
is like this four-wheel drive car,
dazzling
and fruitful in achievements.
It gets to where it is today
relying on the tires,
namely the employees,
and also parts and components, gears,
namely the board members.
What’s the most important part?
My dad.
Motor,
the heart of the car.
That’s it?
Well.
You are not part of it,
are you?
I am.
I’m the hand that puts the car
to the track.
What is it?
Market?
Exactly. The market.
Mom. You’re so smart. I’m proud of you.
Uh Well.
Mom.
I had the meeting all day.
My mind is messy.
I’ll go take a nap.
And I’ll go to see my dad later.
Seems you’ve behaved well lately,
going to the hospital so often.
You finally know to please your father?
No. There are good dishes there.
What do you mean?
Make it clear.
Where are the dishes from?
Dishes?
Today,
I get you two here
for your advice.
Of these two lads,
which one is more suitable for Shengnan?
Grandpa. I’ll choose first.
In terms of their age,
Cheng Ziqian is younger.
Cheng Ziqian
wins on age.
Height
Cheng Ziqian is higher as well.
Cheng Ziqian wins.
Uncle. In terms of appearance,
they’re both good.
But,
I prefer men like Lu Jin,
gentle, noble, wealthy,
and also a little ascetic.
More importantly,
he’s manly.
So, in terms of appearance,
Lu Jin wins.
Grandpa. I think Cheng Ziqian is
more handsome.
Look. He’s kind and pretty.
I vote for Cheng Ziqian.
No need to compare their wealth.
Lu Jin overwhelms him.
Do you know how much money Lu Jin has?
Let me give you an analogy.
If
Cheng Ziqian’s wealth is a grain of rice,
then Lu Jin’s wealth is
A bowl of rice?
No. No. A bag of rice.
Five kilograms?
Fifty kilograms.
So,
Lu Jin overwhelms him in wealth.
Funny.
Grandpa.
What good is money alone?
You were badly ill
yet he didn’t show up,
neither did he contribute
money nor effort.
Right?
I used to want to
get a rich boyfriend.
Now think about it.
They can’t help at all
when they’re needed.
It’s Shengnan
who bears it alone.
But Cheng Ziqian
is really good,
offering so much help.
He pays so much attention to Shengnan.
So, in terms of Shengnan’s feeling,
I vote for Cheng Ziqian.
Zhaodi is right.
I’ve been fond of Ziqian
since he’s little.
Their parents also
know each other.
In terms of family relationship,
I vote for Ziqian.
OK.
Ziqian wins.
Besides,
Shengnan and Lu Jin
have a big difference
in family background.
Plus, his mother is mean.
Their life would surely be hard.
Absolutely right, Grandpa.
Picking Cheng Ziqian
is controllable and secure.
Picking Lu Jin
is uncontrollable in many ways.
Too risky.
So, in terms of risk,
Cheng Ziqian overwhelms.
Uncle.
It’s not like the old days.
Family background is no longer a problem.
The difference
in age and family background
won’t be a problem.
The point is that
they love each other.
Shengnan loves Lu Jin.
From this only point,
Lu Jin overwhelms him.
What are you doing?
What’s the use of love?
Leading a peaceful and happy life
is the most important.
Gu Shengnan loses her sense of love.
We should help her make a right decision.
Uncle.
A marriage without love won’t last long.
Shengnan should choose someone she loves.
I’ll pick Lu Jin.
No! No!
Let go!
Women should choose a man
who loves her more.
Xu Zhaodi! Give it to me!
Let go!
Cheng Ziqian has so many wins.
Lu Jin doesn’t have much.
No.
Xu Zhaodi!
Let me go. Give me one.
I won’t.
Xu Zhaodi!
Go to hell!
You always treat me like this!
I’ll just put one up.
Give it to me.
It’s you! It’s you!
Don’t hit me.
Xu Zhaodi!
What?
You always
I won’t help you anymore.
= Win =
Give it to me!
Stop it!
Give it to me!
That’s all we have.
You hit me again!
I’m hitting you!
I Annoying.
You hit my ear.

= Operating Room =
Shengnan. Sit for a while.
Don’t worry.
Be seated.
Doctor. How is it?
The operation went well.
He just needs to
rest and recuperate.
Keep it in mind.
No spicy and fatty food.
Thank you.
Thank you, doctor.
You see? I told you it’d be fine.
Let’s sit and wait.
Rest assured.
Thanks for your work and efforts
these days and nights.
We’ve had a tough
but wonderful battle.
Thank you, everyone.
I’ll go home tomorrow.
The sequent work
is on you.
Mr. Lu.
We plan to expand the Asian Street.
You’re needed to inspect the site.
It also concerns the further planning
of the project.
I’ve privately scheduled it tomorrow
for you.
If you have something else,
it can be postponed.
But actually,
it’ll take a day at most.
OK. Up to you.
As planned,
my treat tonight.
Jie.
Have you booked the place?
Yes. Rest assured.
Let’s go.
I’ll get the file done.
It won’t be long.
OK.
= Shengnan =
Hello.
Lu Jin.
You
You have no idea what has happened.
My grandpa fainted suddenly.
I sent him to the hospital
and he just had the surgery.
It went well. Don’t worry about me.
I
Hello, Miss Gu. This is Li Man.
Where is Lu Jin?
He can’t be reached for now.
If anything,
I can help you tell him.
Tell him to call me back.
OK.
= Recent Calls Shengnan =
Haven’t you finished?
Did you see my phone?
I meant to take it to you.
Thank you.
It’s done. Let’s go.
My bad memory.
He can’t be reached for now.
If anything,
I can help you tell him.
You’re from the hotel
to deliver the cake, right?
Please wait for a while.
Just give the cake to me.
Thanks.
Take this.
Li Man! Li Man! Sis.
She is no ordinary woman.
She’s the deputy president of our group.
You’ve been on my mind ever ♪
Since I saw you smiling at me ♪
Your smile ♪
Baby I’m just falling to you ♪
Shengnan.
Are you tired?
Take a nap.
Lu Jin.
Does he know Grandpa’s hospitalized?
He doesn’t.
I didn’t tell him.
He’s busy. I didn’t bother him.
Did he tell you when he’d come home?
Not long, maybe.
= Inpatient =
Grandpa.
You’re playing phone again,
not resting.
I bring you meals.
Take a rest after eating.
You just had the surgery.
Don’t get too tired. You should lie down.
I had a general anesthetic.
I’ve had enough sleep.
I’d like
to be sober as long as I can.
Alright.
You must take a rest after eating.
Got it?
I’ll go to work.
It’s fine. I’ll help you ask for a leave.
You can’t take too many days off.
Just let Ziqian stay here with me.
Don’t always let Ziqian accompany you.
He needs to work as well.
It’s fine. Shengnan.
I’m taking a leave of absence.
I can stay here with Grandpa.
Go to work. Let Ziqian keep me company.
Thank you, Ziqian.
It’s fine.
Take care.
Come. Let’s eat.
No hurry.
Let’s have a talk.
Do you remember this street?
In 2011.
I was a secretary on the board
at the time.
The group
wanted to expand the business
from Europe to Canada.
Ms. Zheng was worried
you couldn’t get used
to a new environment.
I was sent to assist you.
Time flies.
It’s been ten years.
Now the division in Canada
is reconstructing
and expanding this street.
You had
the same hairstyle on that day.
Mr. Lu.
This building’s structure looks good.
Why will it be built into an Asian Street?
Bringing Chinese culture,
Asian culture to the world
is Zhenghong Group’s goal.
I’ve repeated it many times.
Don’t ask me again.
Yes. Mr. Lu. Wait for me.
Wait.
You’re not walking the red carpet.
Why do you wear high-heeled shoes?
I won’t do this again.
I don’t need a spoiled lady here.
Go home if you feel aggrieved.
No. No. Not at all.
Will it do?
You must hate me at that time.
No.
The fact is that
you had the driver send me
a pair of sneakers at night.
Since then,
whenever I go out,
I’ll take a pair of sneakers with me.
Do you remember this store?
We dined here.
I remember
we sit at the center table.
It was a waitress who served us.
Why did you remember so clearly?
Because it was the first day
of your 26th birthday that night.
We worked
and didn’t eat until midnight.
We even
had a quarrel with
the waitress that night.
We ordered prime snowflake beef.
Are you sure this is prime snowflake beef?
Please ask your chef to come here.
Excuse me. The chef is off duty.
We really can’t make what you say.
It’s OK.
If there’s nothing to do,
I’ll leave.
Thank you.
It’s OK.
I’ll go abroad
on my next annual leave.
Seems you haven’t had a leave for long.
I’ll give you a long annual leave.
Then you went to Korea.
Not only Korea,
I also went to Japan,
France, and got into Le Cordon Bleu.
Chefs like me studied there
from zero.
And I
have no talent in cooking.
It took me a long time to graduate.
You try to do everything
to the best.
But my purpose was
simple actually.
I just hoped
you could eat well
after you work overtime every day.
It occurred to me that
I haven’t thanked you for so many years.
But I think I should
say thanks.
Whether it’s your attitude at work,
or the way you care for me in life,
I should thank you.
Sincerely
thank you.
I have a request.
Say it.
Buy me a drink.
= Inpatient =
Ziqian.
You’ve helped us a lot lately.
I know you’re busy.
And you have to run from hotel
to hospital.
Shengnan told me that
the doctor who did surgery for me
was invited by you.
The fee
was paid by you.
Rest assured.
After I check out,
I’ll ask Shengnan to pay you back.
Grandpa. You’re welcome.
My parents were busy when I was young.
I always had meals at your home.
You watched me grow up.
Now you’re sick.
I’m supposed to look after you.
Time flies.
You’re in your thirties.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I just returned home.
Not yet.
This time
I got the heartbreak suddenly
and got hospitalized.
It made me realize that,
given my health,
maybe I can’t see that day.
Grandpa.
I don’t desire much.
I just hope Shengnan can
have a man to rely on.
Grandpa.
Even if you don’t say that
You know
what I mean.
Actually,
I’m already contented
to accompany Shengnan like this.
After all, love cannot be forced.
She already has someone in her heart.
Not like that.
Shengnan’s parents fell in love
at the first sight.
People all think
they’re a perfect match.
Unexpectedly,
their relationship got bad
before long.
In terms of a relationship,
falling in love at first sight is
the most unreliable.
What matters most
is a long-lasting relationship.
Ziqian.
Do you
understand me?
Gu Shengnan is quite adorable.
Being with her,
you must be very happy.
There are surprises indeed.
It’s good to be young,
with all kinds of possibilities.
If I could take a time machine
back when I was 21,
I’d be with you in another way.
You’re good now.
No change is needed.
Right.
I’m the vice president of Zhenghong,
also the chairman of
Global Boutique Alliance.
These are all good.
But you don’t like them.
Let’s change the topic.
Let me finish my words.
Being with you for 10 years,
the biggest regret is that
I didn’t say these words earlier.
In these 10 years,
I keep reminding myself to work harder
and make myself better
so that I can be with you all the time.
I don’t just want to be your partner.
Lu Jin.
I like you.
Don’t drink too much.
You’re drunk.
You didn’t say anything.
I’ll go back and rest.
= Li Man =
Hello.
What’s wrong?
Lu Jin.
I’m bathing in the bathroom, but
the towel runs out.
Can you bring me one?
Li Man.
Even if I bring it to you,
I’ll just leave it at the door.
I won’t open that door.
As long as there’s the door between us,
you and I
will still be good friends,
partners at work,
forever.
You don’t hope
the door is opened as well,
do you?
Alright.
You walked all day.
Don’t sit there.
Go to bed.
Lu Jin.
Thanks.
Good night.
Wait.
Gu Shengnan called you
on the celebration day and I answered it.
I didn’t tell you this.
And I deleted the call log.
