Are you done touching me?

Free love balloons if you purchase our chocolates.

(30 hours ago) Free love balloons

(30 hours ago) if you purchase our chocolates.

Free love balloons if you purchase our chocolates.

Check out our Valentine's Day program.

Thank you.

Free love balloons if you purchase our chocolates.

(Nutritious meals three times a day keep you healthy every day.)

Free love balloons if you purchase our chocolates.

Free balloons if I purchased your chocolates, right?

Thank you.

(I want to be with you.)

(Jiang Chen)

(Are you free today?)

(I'm working overtime.)

But today's Valentine's Day.

Yi Ran, come and arrange the goods.

Coming.

(Production Date, 12th November 2023)

Sir,

I don't think you should do this.

(Production Date, 16th November 2023) They have expired.

How could you sell them?

So what if they're expired?

You still take them home and eat them every day.

It's not like you fell sick.

I didn't take them home for nothing.

You said it was a benefit for your employees.

Besides,

if I do fall sick, I'll bear responsibility for it.

You might be punished by the heavens...

You'll have a stomach ache if you have this.

Take this.

I want the sweet one.

The sweet one?

Your teeth will rot if you have that.

What are you doing?

It wasn't me.

That boy was being unreasonable.

You...

You're the unreasonable one here.

What's wrong with...

Tell me. Who was it?

Right there!

Shameless fool! How dare you bully my boy?

I'll never buy stuff from you again!

What a shady shop! Your business will definitely fail!

I...

Come! Son, let's go home!

Wait...

Yi Ran!

My shop has no place

for someone as important as you. Leave!

Fine. I quit.

Settle my salary for this month.

Consider yourself lucky that I'm not demanding compensation.

You still dare to ask me for it?

Did I hear you wrongly?

Our society is ruled by law now.

Do you understand what that means?

Since we didn't sign a contract,

there's no labor relationship between us.

Hurry and leave!

I bought a lunch box here two days ago.

I had a stomach ache after finishing it.

I sent it for a test.

This is the test report.

The total bacterial count had exceeded the limit significantly.

And,

the CCTVs in the shop had filmed you

changing all the labels in secret.

I wonder who I can report this to.

You want to extort money from me, huh?

You said you would bear responsibility for it yourself.

I paid for the lunch box.

Besides,

there's no labor relationship between us.

I don't bear responsibility for it.

You!

What's wrong?

I'll send a copy of this to the Health Bureau,

the Market Supervision Administration, and the Urban Management Bureau later.

Guess how much you'll be fined?

You!

You...

Fine. You win.

(You've received 3,000 yuan from Convenience store.)

Why is it only 3,000 yuan?

I deducted the meals you took from my shop.

I've already paid you extra.

But all of them were expired.

Who said expired ones don't cost money?

(Free love balloons if you purchase our chocolates!)

Yi Ran!

(My name is Yi Ran.)

(I'm a stubborn failure.)

(I spent almost half of my life)

(fighting against life.)

(But I ended up getting beaten by it all the time.)

(Life can hit me hard,)

(but it can't take away my right to fight against it.)

(Giving it a negative review is the way I live.)

(Perhaps you'll say that I like to argue over details.)

(If so, I'll provide it with a sense of ceremony.)

(After all, you only live once.)

(If you don't defend it, it will cease to exist.)

=The Quirky and The Charming=

(Spring Sea Resort Hotel)

Today is my first day here.

I'll give a longer speech than usual.

You see,

I prioritize mutual respect the most.

In the future, I hope that we can...

Where are you guys going?

Just the head of the Housekeeping Department. What's with the disrespect?

What's the deal with Mrs. Liu?

Mrs. Liu said she found stains

on the shower head when she was taking a bath.

We said we would change her room for her,

but she still wasn't satisfied.

She didn't let us off.

We couldn't do anything about her.

Mrs. Liu is hard to serve.

Even you guys can't deal with her.

Is there anything else?

Yes. After the guests at Room 503 checked out of their rooms,

a bathrobe and two cloth hangers went missing.

Have you contacted them?

Yes, but they didn't pick up.

We've recorded the occurrence.

Mr. Chen wants to check out of his room in two days.

But the button that fell off his suit in the laundry room

has not been found.

Boss.

Regarding Mrs. Liu...

Have you gained weight recently?

Who said so?

Boss,

Chairman Liu is the new chairman of the Cuisine Association.

If we offend his wife,

I'm worried about the zero negative review...

You should lose some weight.

Your image is the same as the hotel's image.

Boss,

today's Valentine's Day, you know?

What has that got to do with you?

Let's go boxing tonight.

Again?

Vincent, you're finally here.

Take a look at the shower head yourself.

Yes, ma'am.

I've always trusted your hotel.

I never expected it to be this unhygienic.

I even took a shower with it.

Who knows if I'll get infected

by the germs or viruses?

The thought of it makes my body itch.

You have to give me an account.

Our water purification system is imported from Germany.

It meets the standard for high-quality water.

Please rest assured.

If so...

What about the stains?

As for this,

these aren't stains.

It's just that the metal is slightly discolored.

You know this too.

Spring Sea is a hotel that has operated for over 20 years.

Just like humans,

it's more captivating when it's seasoned and experienced.

Don't you agree?

You do have a point.

Over here, please.

It's our negligence to allow an esteemed guest

to experience such discomfort.

By the way,

we're holding

a room upgrade promotion for Valentine's Day.

We've already selected

the most luxurious ocean-view suite with the best view for you.

This is a free upgrade from us.

Vincent, you're too courteous.

It's not that I want a room upgrade...

Our mission at Spring Sea

is to provide the perfect service to our guests.

Moreover,

you're our VIP.

By the way, our head chef

has been trying out some new recipes lately.

I heard that you were an expert in cuisines.

Would you be willing to help us

with a tasting session if it's convenient for you?

It's my honor.

Alright.

I'll contact you after making the arrangements, then.

If there's nothing else,

we shall not bother you any longer.

Boss.

Are you okay?

Cut to the chase.

I have bad news.

The button for Mr. Chen's suit

belongs to a new model Shop B introduced this year.

We don't have something like that.

What's the solution?

This is the list

of factories that can process this deal.

I've contacted them.

At the fastest rate, molding and production

will take seven days.

Mr. Chen is checking out in two days.

Do you expect him to wait for seven days?

Boss.

Stop putting me on the spot here.

Do you have a solution?

A friend recommended a boutique shop to me.

They said they found the same button.

Go and retrieve it once the meeting is over.

Me?

I went boxing with you last night.

I only slept for three hours, you know?

Not everyone is like you.

I need sleep, you know?

Alright, then.

Go back and rest after the meeting.

What about the button, then?

There have already been many issues before this.

Nothing else must go wrong again.

I'll retrieve it myself after the meeting.

Why did you do that?

So, by working overtime,

you meant you were together with her?

Don't do this.

You're still defending this vixen?

That's not it. I...

I've truly overestimated you.

I thought you were a human.

I never expected you to be worse than a dog.

You follow everyone with your leash on.

Who are you calling a dog here?

Just take it as my fault.

There's nothing to apologize about.

I don't plan on forgiving you anyway.

Don't ever appear in front of me again.

You scum.

You scum.

That scum!

He was lucky that it was only two cups of water!

You're right.

I should've castrated him.

You don't need to go that far.

Think of it like this.

The heavens are on your side.

At least you're leaving a scum like him.

Maybe a better man is already waiting for you.

If the headwind understands my heart,

I'm willing to sacrifice the life of my ex

for the prosperity of everyone.

Let's drop the topic. Where's the button?

It looks the same indeed.

Yi Ran, you're amazing.

They don't call me All-Rounder for nothing, you know?

Let me give you something nice.

Open it.

A room card?

That's a room card for a five-star hotel room.

I'll be honest with you.

This is a birthday gift for you.

Before this, you told me

that you wanted to open a small hotel like your father

and make profits without doing any work, right?

As your bosom friend,

I'm giving you a chance to enjoy

the most luxurious five-star hotel in the city.

May you achieve your dream soon.

I changed my dream long ago.

I'll wait for you to...

Hurry and fill your cup.

I'll wait for you to strike it rich and support me.

All the more should your dream come true.

Hello?

Boss?

Yes.

I've retrieved the button.

Shall I have it delivered to you via express delivery service?

I'm at the roadside stall at Wenxing Road.

Alright.

I'll send you my location.

See you later.

Who's that?

The buyer of the button.

He said he wanted to retrieve it himself.

The above is the summary report of the Valentine's Day event.

Overall, it's quite successful.

The occupancy rate has increased by 15%

compared to the same period last year.

(Performance Data and Analysis)

I'll cut it short.

For this year's Valentine's Day event,

I plan to extend it to one week.

We can call it Valentine's Week.

During this period,

successfully matched couples

can enjoy a 50% discount

on our VIP suite stay.

At the same time, they can also

enjoy the romantic candlelit couple's dinner

prepared by the head chef himself.

Alright.

I'll request Planning Department to come up with a new proposal.

Each lounge area in the Housekeeping Department

should have a dedicated emergency rose box.

I like that idea.

(Smash the glass if you encounter the love of your life.)

Each of the crew

has to carry a rose with them at all times

so that the guests won't run out of roses.

We have to flood every corner of the hotel

with romance.

Does anyone have any objections?

Since there are no objections,

I'll make a move first since I have something to do.

Alright. Meeting dismissed.

What's with the head of the Housekeeping Department?

Does he think his father owns the hotel?

He has no respect for me at all.

I can see why you're in the HR Department.

You're pretty good at judging people.

Is his father truly the owner of the hotel?

That's not even a secret.

All of the experienced employees here know about it.

It's almost time.

Why isn't he here yet?

Do you have a live stream to do tonight?

Yeah.

I've already promised my fans.

I can't afford to be late.

Why don't you leave first? I'll wait for him.

Really?

I'll leave it to you, then.

Don't worry. I'll accomplish the task.

Go now. Don't make your fans wait for you.

My good friend,

you're the best.

Try it.

Be careful. It's hot.

Pan Yiyi?

Pan Yiyi?

Come out.

Pan Yiyi left in advance because she was busy.

Look at the time.

Why are you only here now?

Where's the item I requested?

Are you done confirming it?

Payment settled, goods delivered.

Thanks for your purchase at Pan Yiyi's boutique.

Is there a restroom nearby?

Not here. There's no light.

Let's find somewhere else.

Why don't I find a bush for you?

Wait for me at the entrance. Don't leave me.

Just hurry up.

Don't leave.

You're not allowed to leave.

Wait for me at the entrance!

Are you still there?

Have you left?

Are you there?

You didn't keep your promise.

It's not that I don't want to keep you company.

I'm just too busy with work.

(I want to go shopping, play the claw machine...)

Can you grow up for once?

Fine. It's my fault, okay?

Of course I missed you.

I swear.

I don't have an affair...

What a scum.

(Jiang Chen)

(Delete) Scum.

(Delete contact) Don't let me see you again. Go to hell.

Mr. Xiao.

What is this?

Don't ask questions.

Hand this to Ms. Man.

Tell her to sanitize it before handing it to the guest.

Hello, miss.

Do you need any help?

It's fine. I live here.

Alright.

That untrustworthy woman.

Someone must be cursing me.

(Mini-Bar Charge Notice)

This is the life.

Hello?

Mr. Xiao.

Someone complained about the noise Room 8020 is making.

They said someone was screaming.

Tell Ms. Man to deal with it.

Ms. Man is fixing the suit.

I'll go, then.

Alright.

Who's there?

Hello. I'm the head of the Housekeeping Department.

Sorry for the interruption.

I'm in a bad mood. Stop bothering me.

Hello. I'm the head of the Housekeeping Department.

Sorry for the interruption.

What are you doing here?

That's right.

What am I doing here?

Dear guest, one of our guests complained about you.

They said you were too loud.

Please keep it down.

What are you doing?

She's a guest.

Calm down.

Don't leave.

Don't leave.

What are you doing?

You...

I bought this necktie for you!

Remove it!

Take it off!

Hey, you!

Hey, you!

Jiang Chen, you scum!

Boss?

Boss.

Boss...

Boss?

Strange.

Where is he?

Are you done touching?

It's you?

What are you doing here?

Let's have a chat.

About what?

Don't tell me you...

Since you're one of our guests,

I have to explain this to you.

Yesterday, someone complained

that you were too noisy.

That's why I came here to check on you.

But you fell into my arms

after opening the door.

The hotel's CCTV has recorded the interaction.

I dragged you to your bed out of kindness.

However, you assaulted me with a glass bottle,

causing me to faint.

Regarding that,

the injury on my head is the best proof.

Do you remember now?

What kind of expression was that?

What do you mean?

Get out!

Right now!

Hello, miss.

What do you need?

I want to check out.

Alright. Please wait.

Miss.

The computer shows

that your room was paid for.

But there's an extra fee of 600 yuan.

What extra charge?

It's the amount you spent on the beverages in the room.

Do they cost money?

No one gave me a reminder.

The notice is on the table.

(Mini-Bar Charge Notice)

But,

it was only a few bottles of alcohol.

Don't you think 600 yuan is too much?

Can I get a discount?

Miss, I'm sorry.

This is a five-star hotel.

We don't have such a rule.

Good afternoon, Mr. Jiang.

Miss, excuse me.

There are other guests waiting behind you. Why don't you...

I'll pay with my card.

Alright. Please wait a moment.

Alright, miss.

Boss, where did you go?

Mr. Xu was online long ago.

I overslept.

What?

Did you sleep on a bed?

Did you say you overslept?

Something's off.

There's no bed in your house.

Where did you spend the night?

Must I report my daily schedule

to you?

No need for that.

Actually, you can.

It's rare that you're late.

Something cropped up. But I've dealt with it.

I heard that the event was pretty successful.

You've maintained an almost year-long record

of zero negative reviews.

Seems like you have hopes of

coming in first place this year.

What other instructions does Chairman have for me?

Vincent, you should know your father has his bitter reasons for doing so.

As for the board...

Please tell Chairman

that I'll definitely come in first place.

I hope that he can keep his promise

and change his plan of relinquishing Spring Sea.

Why is she living at a five-star hotel when she's that poor?

It's like we're killing her by charging her a few hundred yuan.

Enough already.

You'll behave the same if you incur the same fee.

Don't insult people like this.

Leave some wiggle room for yourself.

For what?

A poor person like her

would never live here again anyway.

Hello.

Please don't misunderstand me.

I wasn't referring to you.

The supermarket near my house

sells chicken drumsticks for 10 yuan per 500g.

Vegetables cost around two to five yuan.

Even premium rice is only a bit more than 8 yuan per 500g.

With 600 yuan,

I can buy 30kg of meat,

and more than 50kg of rice and vegetables.

That's enough to cover most of a regular family's expenses

for over half a month.

Street cleaners

begin their work as early as 4 or 5 in the morning.

Many workers can't even make 600 yuan

in a week.

For rich people like you all,

I suppose you won't even care

if you see 600 yuan on the ground.

That's not what I mean.

One star for service,

one star for living experience,

one star for management,

one star for facilities,

and one star for overall experience.

That's what you mean by a five-star hotel, huh?

Five-star hotel, my foot.

I'll give you a negative five-star review.

You!

Jiang Chen, you scum!

I mustn't drink that much again.

(I'll prove that it's Spring Sea.)

(I'll check out right now.)

(Insulted after paying them.)

(Five-Star Negative Review)

(Five-star hotel with such employees?)

(I was lucky that I was poor.)

(I'll visit it next time "for sure".)

(This is life.)

(Each corner)

(and each moment)

(are filled with baffling surprises.)

(You don't know what will happen next.)

(You might strike the lottery.)

(Who knows)

(what will happen next?)

Ms. Ling.

Speak.

Someone gave Spring Sea a negative review online.

She even published a post.

It has sparked some minor interest.

This is a rare chance.

We should help Vincent

promote the hotel

so that more people

will hear about the way they treat their guests.

Understood.

Action!

Watch it for me.

Okay.

Right hand, up!

Forward!

To the right.

A bit lower.

What?

Filming the shadows.

Is there a toilet nearby?

It's only fun if it's live.

It's no fun with a phone's camera.

I'm filming it.

The splashes will be everywhere.

Cut.

Okay. Halt it.
