Who is it? Coming!

Who are you?

Hello, I'm with the Botticelli Hotel,

lead of the decor team
in long-term cooperation.

Today, we have an appointment
with Chenghuan for the decoration.

- Mai Chenghuan asked you to come?
- Yes.

Okay, come on in, please.

- All right.
- Don't come in.

We don't have Mai Chenghuan here,
and we're not renovating. You may leave.

Sorry. Wait a moment, please.

Okay.

Honey, although Huan's not at home,

her heart is still attached
to this home.

What attachment? No sign
of her being concerned about us.

She just sent a decor team
to get rid of us.

Yu, look, the water pipe is broken.

The flush toilet has been out of order
for several days.

How can we live like this?

Why can't we live?

Can't we live without water?

Mai Laitian, go downstairs
to fetch water then.

If the toilet doesn't work,
can't we use a chamber pot?

I have been taken care of you
all my life.

I can empty the chamber pot myself.

Are you still renovating here?

No renovations. Didn't you hear me?
You can go back.

Sorry to have bothered you.

- Liu Hui.
- Here.

(Partner Service Center)

- Zhang Bin.
- Here.

- Chen Chen.
- Here.

- Hu Bing.
- Here.

- Mai Chengzao.
- Here.

Wang Cheng.

Mai Chengzao, why are you hiding
back there with bunny ears on?

You didn't answer calls or
reply to WeChat. Why is it?

- It's not like that. I...
- You...

Sir, sorry, I'm taking a leave for him.

He won't take orders today.

Wait. I'm just going to change clothes.

No need to get changed.

What are you looking at? Stand still.

Those without girlfriends,
keep on working.

Why did you bring me to the mall?

Your sister told me everything.

I just want to ask
how's the job search going.

It's not bad.

Not bad? Then why are you
delivering takeout?

I just need some time.

Mai Chengzao, your name itself
is telling you to act sooner.

There's not much time
for you to waste. Let's go.

Come, take a look.

It sells men's clothing here.

Yes, I brought you here to buy clothes.

No need. I have clothes.

Wait a minute.
Aren't you looking for a job?

Do you know
that it's very realistic in workplaces?

You've got to spruce yourself up
from head to toe.

Come on, choose an outfit.

How is it? Does it fit well?

Pretty good. You do look handsome
after a bit of dressing up.

If the hair is slicked back,
you'll look even more like an adult.

I've said it many times.
I am already an adult.

Yes, you are. Come on, button it up.

Is it tight?

Thank you.

Remember, when you enter the workplace,

you will meet all sorts of people.

By then, your sister and I can't come
to help you anytime, anywhere.

You are on your own.

It's been a while since I tied a tie.
I'm a bit rusty. There it is.

You're sweating so much. Feeling hot?

Yes, a little bit.

Alright, very dashing, Attorney Mai.

This one then. Let's pay.

I can pay for it myself.

Just give me a chance.

Pay me back
after you earn some money, okay?

Then I'll buy you a cup of coffee later.

No problem.

It's about what I told you last time.

There's a half-hour break
between the morning and evening shift.

Mr. Wang's takeout

got messed up
because of this half-hour before.

Do you think
if we need to reschedule this time?

Okay, I get it. I'll think about it.

- I'll leave you to yourself.
- Okay.

(Zhu Baoqiao)

Do you think I'm like a joke?

All the scheming comes to naught.

I shouldn't comment on others' affairs.

But I've already told you
what I could say.

As your former classmate, I just feel

it's a pity when your ability
actually matches your ambition.

After this, what's your plan?

I'm going back home.

During the engagement banquet,
Xin Zhishan had another stroke.

This time he's completely hemiplegic.

I'm afraid he can't get out of bed
for the rest of his life.

Then what about your baby?

You really believe that? I forged it.

Chenghuan, maybe you're right.

I shouldn't have done it.

As long as you figure out
what you should do, that's good.

I hope you can have a new beginning.

I'll call a cab for you,
but I won't see you off.

- Your coffee.
- Thank you.

You are welcome.

What are you drawing?

Such a handsome boy,
such a good-looking suit.

Shouldn't I pair those
with something else nice-looking?

What's this?

Cufflinks. I'll give you a pair
once I have the samples ready.

What do you mean by giving me a pair?
Isn't it drawn especially for me?

Wishful thinking.
I'm still in business, okay?

But since it was inspired by you,

if it sells well,
I'll give you a commission.

By the way,
how has my sister been doing lately?

Haven't you talked to her before?

Don't you know your sister?

She's the type to wake up
and have all her troubles vanish.

She's carefree. Don't worry.

- Have some coffee
- Right.

Divorce dispute.
I'll contact you later, okay? Okay.

Wait for me a moment.

Tian Feng.

Chengzao, what are you doing here?

- Please enjoy your coffee.
- Thank you.

I'll take some of it first.

Xin Jiali and Luo Mingli
are getting a divorce?

Yes, they are currently separated
and preparing divorce papers.

For what?

Xin Zhishan was so distressed by them
that he became hemiplegic.

Really?

Then Xin Jialiang just gave up.

He does nothing at home.
He doesn't even work.

What about the company of his family's?

The company is managed by his mother.

As long as his mother is determined
not to divorce,

even if Xin Zhishan's mistress
has a child, it's of no use.

That woman is quite something.

Chengzao, how's your job search going?

It's not settled yet.

I don't think it's bad for you
to leave Fangyuan Law Firm.

I'm also looking for
other job opportunities.

Maybe we'll become colleagues again
in the future.

That would be great.
I hope you two can work together.

Let's make a toast with coffee
to your bright futures. Cheers.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Later, you send the flowers by yourself.
Try to create more opportunities...

Speak of the devil. Hey, Mary.

Hi, Dong.

Hi, Mary. Mr. Yao was looking for you.

Do you need me for something?

Well...

Didn't you say that the water I drink
often clogs up the water dispenser?

Send me some more water.

You've got it? No problem.
I'll arrange it right away.

By the way, Mr. Yao,
I wanted to tell you long ago.

In this world, there are other clothes
besides black suits.

Even He Dong has changed his socks.

You should also try something new.

Mai Chenghuan, you really know
how to take your opportunity.

Not at all. Customers are always right.
Excuse me.

Mao, dinner tonight? No problem.
Great, see you tonight.

If no other questions, then I'm leaving.

Flowers for a girl, huh? Good luck.

What are you standing around for?
Waiting for her to invite you together?

You're giving away sunflowers
day after day for nothing.

The trips to the nursing home,
all for nothing.

Your grandma doesn't take the hint
about Xing'anli.

Chenghuan ignores you.
It's all for naught.

Isn't the headquarters planning
to expand phase two of the apartments?

Mai Chenghuan is on the list
of those in charge.

So what?

So, of course,
I have to look for an opportunity

to tell her the good news.

If you want to go to dinner with her,
just say so.

Why make so many excuses?

Don't I look good in a suit?

You do, but it's a bit monotonous.

So Zhu Baoqiao's pregnancy was fake?

The gossip you've brought today
is really something.

Isn't it?

The Xin family
has already ended up like this.

I was planning to vent for my sister.

It seems there's no need for that now.

It's all over now.

The way to cut losses is to stay away
and not get involved anymore.

You're right.
Come on, let's have a drink.

Live well in the present
and don't worry about anything else.

- Cheers, come on
- Cheers.

What a coincidence that you're here too.

I haven't even had a drink yet,
and my eyes aren't blurry.

Why are you dressed like this,
Yao Zhiming?

Didn't you say
that I was always wearing suits?

Chenghuan, now that we've run into
each other, how about sharing the table?

Otherwise, we couldn't get one.

Then let's share the table, come on.

May I use this chair? Thank you.

Huan, could this be...

Our half-brother.
You should call him Zhiming.

Come on, Zhiming.

He can't hold his liquor.
He'll be down after one drink.

I can drink this.

Get me one too.

You've been talking.
I haven't introduced myself yet.

Hello, I'm He Dong.
You can also call me...

Dong.

Right, you can call me Dong.

Look, what a coincidence.

I'm his friend. You're her friend.

He, her brother. She, his sister.

That makes you my sister.

Come on, may I have your WeChat contact?

Her phone is dead. Have mine instead.

- You're the younger brother, right?
- Correct.

I'm not short of younger brothers.
It's getting a little awkward.

Let's talk about it later. Come on,

let's raise our glasses.

Say goodbye to the past life,
and step towards a brilliant life.

Come on, here's to all of us
turning the page on the past.

Turning the page on the past.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

By this time, Grandma hasn't eaten yet.

She can have something warm here.

How is it?
Is the small cot still comfortable?

It's quite good. The nursing home
is quiet and there's free breakfast.

Most importantly, I can still
talk to Grandma. It's comfortable.

If you were thrown into the desert,

you could also cheerfully
grow cacti there, right?

How do you know? Well, one must have
a bit of the happy-go-lucky attitude.

I firmly believe
that even if one is unlucky,

fate wouldn't keep frowning upon
someone who has a smiling face, right?

Now that you can't get married and
have run away, what's your future plan?

Just work hard to make money.

That's it. Recently I met
a senior executive from Yueda.

I have some good news for you.

What's it?

The headquarters is looking to
expand Phase Two apartments.

They need to expand the management team,
and you are one of the candidates.

You didn't recommend me, did you?

Wait a minute, Yao Zhiming,
I feel something's odd.

Grandma asked you to take care of me,

but you've been spending money
and putting in effort for me.

You're not after something
from my family, are you?

Have you watched too many dramas?

Right, my family barely has anything.
It seems you couldn't get much.

Then why is that?

Is the lease renewal rate or
your performance false? Be confident.

Wait for me.

(Warm service, due diligence)

How great it would be
if Huan could come back for the meal.

Huan, no matter how busy you are
with work, remember to have your meals.

Dad, thank you.

You've made another trip
just to bring these things to me.

I mainly came to pick up Mr. Yao,

and thought I'd bring you clothes
and some other things while I'm here.

I'll turn in this month's salary.

Your mom and I are getting old,
so we don't need to spend much money.

But you're young, having a lot
of pressure. You need it more.

Keep it for yourself.

No, I've already said it last time.

I need to contribute my share
to the family. Don't you remember?

Besides, I'm quite content
in this apartment.

Eating at the company doesn't cost much.
You must take it.

Then I'll give it to your mom.

My daughter has grown up indeed.

Growing up is a good thing.
Why the sigh?

Yes, it is a good thing.
Huan, I'm telling you something.

Before you even entered
the house back then,

far away, we could hear

the clattering of your leather shoes
on the stairs.

Your mom used to polish your shoes
every day.

While polishing your shoes,
she was always complaining

that it was either cooking
or polishing shoes for you all day long.

But now, you don't come back,
and she doesn't have shoes to polish.

I can see
that she feels empty in her heart.

How is my mom doing now?

You and your mom are so alike. Stubborn.

I'm different from her.

How are you different?
To me, you are exactly the same.

Look, both of you have each other
on your minds,

but neither wants to compromise.

Well, now you've reached a stalemate.

Dad, I know
that my moving out hurt you and mom.

But if I hadn't done so,

mom would never have realized
her issues.

This time I want to keep my boundaries.

Of course I wanted you to come home.

However, I can understand your thoughts.

The things that happened at home before
were unfair to you.

That's your mom, always doing things
with good intentions but bad outcomes.

But I think
we should give her some time.

I think she will change eventually.

By the way,

your mom made
the shepherd's purse wontons for you.

What's it? Don't they taste good?

It's not that.
My mom could make anything delicious.

You are getting softhearted.

As I say, if you go home now,
it means you're giving in.

All your efforts would be wasted,
all your previous achievements gone.

This time I won't be softhearted,
and I won't go back.

I want to use this time

to let my mom take a good think.

It's just
that I've left my home all of a sudden.

Eating out
makes me feel the dishes fresh.

I sleep on Grandma's small cot,

without my mom coming in
from time to time.

That makes me feel very free.

But when I think of home,

I feel my heart's heavy.

It's hard for people to step out
from an environment they're used to.

Your mom was used to
being the head of the family.

She's not used to it
when you're not around.

And you, being used to being
a well-behaved daughter,

also aren't used to
being away from your mom.

You're right. In fact,

I should take this time
to clear my mind.

Just don't take too long.

If your mom suddenly
comes to her senses one day,

just like the lady in that news story,

driving off to rove all over the world

and leaving all the household matters
behind, what will you do?

Then I would be so happy.

If one day my mom
could find herself and be free and easy,

then as her child,
I would be happy for her too.

What do you think?

Really good-looking.

I think their designs
have always been very good.

- Let's come again next time.
- Of course we will.

(This is a new product
we've just launched.)

It's very suitable for your girlfriend.

Hello, sir. What can I help you with?

Is your boss here?

Who are you?

I'm her ex-husband.

Boss, you have a visitor.

Who? Come on, let's go downstairs
and find it out.

I have some new accessories
for you to try on. Come on.

Qiu, who came for me?

It's me.

What are you doing here?

I heard you've opened a shop,
so I came to have a look.

Didn't expect your designs are
more and more in line with my teachings.

Song Huaimin, you're really shameless!

Mao's designs have always been
better than yours, okay?

Song Huaimin, I've told you before,

if it weren't for Dingding,

we wouldn't see each other
unless absolutely necessary.

Copycats are not welcome here.
Please leave.

Get out.

Before I go, take a look at this.

Make a decision after you've read this.
I'll wait for your reply.

Why are you taking my things?

- Is it very valuable?
- Where're your manners?

Alright.

Such a...

Mao, take a look at this. What is it?

(Legal Notice)

He's accusing me of plagiarism?

Didn't he know who was plagiarizing?
Really shameless of him!

Is something wrong with him?

I'm so pissed off.

(Legal Notice)

What do you think, Zao?
Is it easy to handle?

For creative design work,

there're many ways to prove originality.

Gathering evidence won't be difficult.

Although Song Huaimin
took the initiative,

we definitely have a chance of winning.

So, do we need to find a lawyer?

If you trust me,

I can be your representative lawyer.

Of course I trust you.

This is just a piece of cake for you.

Besides, haven't I already
paid the deposit?

What deposit?

The suit.

Okay, then I'll leave
the legal matters to Zao.

Mao,

the necklace designed by Song Huaimin
looks very similar to yours.

The quality of your necklace
is better than his,

and the price
isn't even one-fifth of his.

But the sales volume of yours
doesn't even reach a fraction of his.

Have you thought about why?

People buy it
because of Song Huaimin's fame.

Exactly. So, Zao,
you focus on the legal aspect.

And I'll focus on marketing.

I'll plan an independent brand for you.

We'll tackle it from both directions.

That's great!
Then with both of your help,

I'll definitely be able to
bring Song Huaimin down.

Of course. Definitely!

Come on, thank you both.

Take down Song Huaimin!

Working overtime, huh?

Grandma, am I disturbing you?

I'm old. I don't need that much sleep.

I just sleep and wake up now and then.
I can still talk to you.

Grandma, I want to help Mao
establish an independent brand.

I also want to join in.

You are seeking development
for yourself?

Not really. Mao is very talented.

I want to build a brand
out of her jewelry designs.

This would also
expand my professional skill.

Are you unhappy
working in the apartment?

Not really.
But I prefer the hotel industry.

After all, a hotel is a place
where dreams can be realized.

Your hard work and efforts

can quickly become a visible space,

delicious food and drinks,
and the laughter of customers.

Besides, I've been in the hotel business
for seven years.

I really enjoy it myself.

Chenghuan, you have dreams and plans.

I'm very reassured.

Grandma, since you can't sleep,
would you give me some advice?

Sure. Come here.

Grandma, take a look.
All these are designed by Mao.

You've seen a lot of good things.

Help us choose one that you think
could be the main model.

Good morning, Grandma.

Gently.

What are you doing, Yao Zhiming?

Why are you taking candid photos
of me? Delete it.

It's quite cute.

I don't believe your nonsense.

My brain would be busted
to believe it. Delete it.

It really is cute.

- Do it.
- Absolutely not ugly.

Believe me. It's very cute.

You're not deleting it, huh?

I've got a cute photo of you here too.

Isn't it very cute?

Mai Chenghuan.

I took such a cute picture of you,

but you show me
such an unflattering photo.

You actually know
how to use a beauty filter?

Indeed, it is quite cute.

Remember to send it to me.

- Then delete it.
- Why should I delete it?

- If not, I won't send it.
- Suit yourself.

Then I'll zoom in on your face.

It's really childish of you.

You have no business in the morning?
What brings you here so early?

Having finished a meeting
with the headquarters.

I thought of taking a walk
and ended up here.

Not like you. Grandma is up,
yet you were still sleeping.

Come on, please check what time it is.

It's the weekend.
Of course, I can sleep in on weekends.

Besides, I'm not a leader.
I don't have to work so hard.

Madam, you need to work hard
even if you're not the boss.

If not, how can you
become a boss in the future?

Firstly, I'm not a madam.

Secondly, men should be modest.

Do you understand what modesty is?

Nope.

And men...

When you two get together,
you're always fighting.

I got up early today.
I want to sleep in a bit longer.

Huan wants to create a jewelry brand.

Go buy some breakfast for me and
also talk about the ideas.

Jewelry?

Any questions?

(Jewelry E-commerce)

Soybean milk.

Thank you.

You really want to help Mao Yongxin
create an independent brand?

Yes. Her ex-husband was like a vampire,

stealing her designs for so many years.

Now seeing Mao
getting better and better,

he's accusing Mao of plagiarism
to cover himself up.

I just want to help Mao
build her brand and reputation.

That way she can get rid of
her ex-husband for good.

Then how do you plan to promote it?
Who are the target customers?

I've researched all of this.

It's actually very difficult
for such independent, innovative brands.

They get bought out by big corporations
who then invest heavily,

or they are celebrities
bringing traffic themselves.

A new designer like Mao

would have difficulties
in creating a new brand.

My idea is to start
with an online store first.

After all, nowadays, young people
are quite receptive to new brands.

What do you think?

I think you've overlooked
an accessible customer group.

Who do you think have money and time
but don't like things too common...

You mean Botticelli?

Uniquely designed branded jewelry
can be given as gift packs to clients.

That's good. But would Botticelli accept

a brand from a new designer like Mao?

You can make use of me?

You mean we can take the shortcut?

Wishful thinking. I am impartial
when it comes to product selection.

Then is there a possibility

that if Mao brings her own popularity,

our chances of success would be greater?

It tastes good.

I got it. Thank you, Mr. Yao.
I'll go find Mao now.

The bill is already settled.

I'll drive you there.

No need. After you buy
the steamed rice balls for Grandma,

just go back to sleep.
You can use my little cot.

For Xing'anli?

(Over triple total revenue of Xing'anli)
The payoff is really good.

I've come with full sincerity.

But I'm old. I can't take it with me
in life or death.

Money doesn't mean much to me.

I know it doesn't mean much to you,

but it's significant
to your grandson, Yao Zhiming.

I believe, in his career,
Xing'anli is the most important part.

Why not take another look?
You'll find it much more to your liking.

So Zhiming has been working
with you on this.

He's never been upfront with me
about this.

Grandma.

Ms. Zhang, what brings you here?

As your partner, I came to check on
the project's progress.

My grandma is old
and can't handle disturbances.

Let's step outside
if there's anything to discuss.

Alright, then I'll take my leave.

Grandma, remember to have breakfast.

You've overstepped.

With this, my months of companionship
seems having an ulterior motive.

You've disrupted my plans.

Didn't you have an ulterior motive?

An advice from me.
She is just an old lady after all.

You, her own grandson, haven't succeeded
despite months of trying.

It seems
that playing family cards doesn't work.

If I hadn't come today,

I wouldn't have known
that she hasn't looked at the proposal.

If you don't trust me,

then find someone more capable.

Of course, I trust you.

I just came to give you a reminder.

You're a businessman, decisive
and ruthless in business dealings.

You can't afford too much hesitation.

Grandma. Grandma!

Grandma!

Boss, there are a lot of returns again.

Come on, let me take a look.

Look,

another unopened package.

(This jewelry store is disappointing.)
The number of returns reached nearly a half.

One-star reviews
and negative feedback on web store.

The copywriting is almost the same.

They must be paid by Song Huaimin

to harass you.

So what should we do?

It's fine. Since he's chosen this way,

then we'll play it straight with him.

How?

Sue him.

Sue him. Zao, I'm telling you...

Wait a second. Calm down, both of you.

Winning or losing the lawsuit
is one thing,

but the most important thing
is the reputation of the creator.

Unless the plagiarized party
has a certain social reputation,

otherwise, the plagiarist
won't take it seriously.

At worst, they lose the lawsuit
and pay some money.

It has not much effect on them.

I got it. You can utilize
the focus on Song Huaimin.

How do I do that?

You can expose his scandals online.
Face him head-on.

Then you can livestream
the process of creating your work.

In this way,
you can prove your innocence,

and also gain a wave of attention.

Then how should I prove the authenticity
of my previous designs?

Right. Do you have any evidence
that you ghostwrote for Song Huaimin?

For example, email correspondence,

WeChat logs, or surveillance videos.
All can work.

Yes, there's so much of it.

I'll post all his dirt online later

and make him utterly discredited.

- I might save the legal fees, right?
- Right.

This is the first step.
Next, we need to establish the brand

and push the popularity and reputation
to a larger market.

I've figured it all out for you.

Yes, I'll leave it to you.
I don't understand marketing anyway.

- You can count on me.
- Okay.

Let me see.

Maybe you shouldn't.

Let me take a look.

Yao Zhiming.
Grandma? What's wrong with Grandma?

Thank you.

Hey, Mom. Yes, Huan and I have arrived.

Yes, once you get off the subway,
you'll see the hospital entrance.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

- Is it sprained?
- A little.

Zao, don't worry about me
and wait here for Mom and Dad.

Remind them to watch the steps
so they don't sprain their ankles.

Okay, take care.
