[Episode 14]

The internal selection competition is coming up.

What's going on with Canteen?

Don't worry.

Qiao Zhi gave us a heads-up early on.

And we've got the best

crisis management plan ready.

You're all keeping me in the dark now?

Does Xue know?

We wouldn't dare.

Both Qiao Zhi and I think

this incident

is a great publicity opportunity

for Canteen and Huaixiang Group.

Xue is sick.

Qiao Zhi kept it from her on purpose.

He's got guts.

I'd like to see

what tricks you've got up your sleeve.

Let's get started.

Okay.

Recently,

Huaixiang Group issued a statement addressing online rumors

[Jiangdong TV Food Show, Eastern Delicacies]

about their restaurant, Canteen.

All ingredients used in its restaurants

are sourced from high-quality domestic suppliers

and meet national food safety and hygiene standards.

[Expert: Food Safety Is No Joke] They do not use banned substances

like shrimp washing powder.

Canteen's crayfish

are clear-water crayfish from Qianjiang,

[Recently, Huaixiang Group's Canteen]

[faced organized online rumor attacks.] compliant with GB/T18407.4.

[Canteen's use of shrimp washing powder]

[caused kidney damage in three people.] To prove their innocence,

[Huaixiang Group Data System] Canteen has made all accounts public

for scrutiny by netizens and relevant authorities,

and is taking legal action against rumor spreaders.

[Singapore Huasheng International Group] As the old Chinese saying goes,

the country is founded on its people;

the people regard food as paramount,

and food must prioritize safety.

We have long established a strategic partnership

with Huaixiang Group and their brand, Canteen.

[This restaurant gives half its profits to staff as bonuses! Dream boss!]

[Official statement dropped.] Public opinion has shifted dramatically

[I knew there was more to this.] regarding the online uproar

[Canteen, Dream Boss, Huaixiang Group] over the shrimp washing powder scandal

at Canteen,

a restaurant under Huaixiang Group.

[National Real-Time Buzz] Canteen and its parent company,

Huaixiang Group,

have actually gained a reputation

from this crisis.

[Recently, Huaixiang Group's Canteen faced organized online rumor attacks.]

This is how you handle it?

Doing a great job?

You all want to quit?

Here.

What's this?

Looks delicious.

Peanut Custard.

A favorite of the beauties.

How many beauties have you made this for?

I'm not like other men.

You're

the only one for me.

Do you have to make it so fancy?

You should use circle

or square molds.

It's too pretty to eat.

It's fine. Go ahead.

They reproduce fast.

I can make you another batch after this.

Eat it now.

Let me take a picture first.

Where's my phone?

How did you get it?

[Tao Rushuang] Why didn't you answer my call?

Canteen's in trouble!

Why didn't you tell me

about something this huge?

The competition is tomorrow.

Do you even want your spot?

See?

I knew you'd be all worked up.

Relax.

Mr. Song and I already handled it.

Handled it?

Really. See for yourself.

[Canteen, Dream Boss, Huaixiang Group, Qianjiang Clear-Water Crayfish]

Hey, Qiao Zhi.

The Administration for Market Regulation

released a statement today.

It confirms Canteen's food safety

is fully compliant.

And those three hired actors had fake medical records.

They've been arrested.

Okay.

That's great.

You've had a tough day.

I'll treat you both when we're back.

But we still haven't found

who stole the login credentials.

I just can't let it go.

It's fine.

We've filed a police report,

so let's trust them to handle it.

You should both go get some rest.

Oh,

and tell Bao

to come with me to Huaixiang for the internal competition tomorrow.

I'll show him the ropes.

Got it, Qiao Zhi.

Hey, Mr. Song.

Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal?

Qiao Zhi was worried about your health.

He had

Mr. Tao's approval to handle it this way.

How's everything going in the company now?

It's fine.

Everything's cleared up.

No opposition.

Qiao Zhi will

compete as planned tomorrow.

Okay.

See? I told you it's fine.

Eat it now.

It tastes much weaker once it cools down.

Is this a cheese stick inside?

There are other flavors too.

Let me try.

Okay.

Good that you have an appetite.

Rest for one more day,

and you'll fully recover.

You've been busy all day.

Here,

you have this.

No, it's okay.

I already ate.

These are made just for you.

What did you eat?

Can't let the scraps go to waste.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

It's what spouses do for each other.

If I ever get sick,

you'll have a reference to follow.

Don't jinx it!

What are you saying?

Our whole family needs to stay healthy.

Right.

No.

No jinxes.

Mom should be out of the hospital soon.

I'll

make a feast.

Let's have

a proper family meal together.

We'll invite Dad back too.

Have a few drinks

with him.

I don't even know where he is.

He'll come back eventually.

After all,

we're family.

Well,

I won't be going to

your competition tomorrow.

Understood.

We agreed before.

Then I'll use this imperial custard

to wish you success.

Okay.

Thanks for the well-wishes, dear.

Grandpa,

I've finally taken the first step.

I will reclaim the honor that's rightfully yours.

George,

[Ellie] I'm going back to Singapore

for a few days,

so I can't watch your competition.

But I know you'll win.

When I'm back,

I'll throw you a celebration party for seven whole days.

[Huaixiang Group]

[Internal Culinary Competition]

That's Zheng Ze.

He's here too.

He's a National Chef in Shandong cuisine.

He's known to be very strict.

Tell me about the other contestants.

Yeah.

The one in front of us

is Hao Wang.

He's the contender from Jiutian Huaixiang.

Jiutian Huaixiang

was once recommended in the Tianxiang Rankings.

Within the group,

it ranks among the top three.

Besides a few seniors,

he's the best in Huaixiang Group.

What about the others?

That's it.

Look,

out of everyone here, only Hao Wang is halfway decent.

The rest

aren't much better than me.

Not worth introducing.

Alright. You really know how to save your lines.

Welcome to Huaixiang Group's

Internal Culinary Competition!

This competition will select two chefs

from twelve

to represent Huaixiang Group

at the National Chef Competition.

Let's have our competing chefs come up to the stage for the draw.

What number did you get?

Number twelve.

See?

The best chef has to go last.

How does that saying go again?

It's called...

Zhi,

when will you become Huaixiang's number one?

Today.

Today.

Let's have our competing chefs come up to the stage

in order to draw

your assigned dishes.

Contestant number one.

[Zheng Ze]

[Stewed Spring Bamboo Shoots]

[Crab Meatballs]

[Mapo Tofu]

This chef has drawn

Huaixiang Beef Soup.

Please prepare your ingredients.

I heard

all the dishes this time are home-cooked dishes.

They're testing the basic skills.

I wish I had made that dish.

I make it better than my master's now.

This chef has drawn Wuchang Fish with Scallion.

Please prepare your ingredients.

Why am I so nervous?

It's fine.

Now, let's have contestant number twelve come up to the stage for the draw.

Zhi,

this is your moment to stun everyone.

Also,

let's do a high-five for luck.

[Contestant Twelve]

Hello everyone,

I'm contestant number twelve, Qiao Zhi.

The dish I've drawn

is Minced Pork with Eggplant.

[Minced Pork with Eggplant]

So you're Qiao Zhi from Canteen?

Yes.

Then let's begin.

Okay.

Qiao Zhi has some character issues.

He should be removed from Huaixiang's chef roster.

He's just an internet influencer.

His restaurant is only famous because of hype.

According to his file,

his professional rating is just Apprentice.

He worked in the back kitchen of Huaixiang Northern District?

Right.

Back then,

he wasn't a one-star Tianxiang Rankings chef.

What?

Tianxiang Rankings?

Let's just focus on our job as judges.

The proof

is in the pudding.

It's Qiao Zhi's turn now.

Chefs these days incorporate innovation

to win competitions.

We've already seen things

like Tomato-Flavored Mapo Tofu

and Sweet and Sour Fried Fish Scales.

The response has been pretty good.

But Minced Pork with Eggplant

is a very common home-cooked dish.

It won't be easy

to innovate with it.

Why hasn't he started cutting yet?

Yeah.

Zhi.

What are you doing? Start!

The texture feels off.

Oh no.

This pork has gone bad.

He thinks he's so great.

Let's see

how he makes the Minced Pork with Eggplant now.

Why are you getting the tofu?

The eggplant is too soft.

Not a common material for carving.

His knife skills

are absolutely masterful.

When he was interning

in your kitchen,

you didn't remember him at all?

Could it be

that he was the one who carved the Wensi Tofu?

The book Guanzi mentions

carved eggs,

meaning carvings on eggshells.

This is the earliest known

food carving in the world.

During the Song Dynasty,

food carving

became a dining fashion.

The carved items were mainly fruits,

ginger,

bamboo shoots,

and preserves.

The shapes included

all kinds of

birds, beasts, fish, insects,

pavilions, and towers.

Qiao Zhi's peacock

is a whole carving.

He carved the raw material

into

a three-dimensional artistic form.

This carving technique

is quite difficult

and demanding.

It feels very realistic.

And

it's clearly improvised.

Created purely on instinct.

Not bad.

Mr. Zheng,

your carving skills

are the best among us.

Seems you really approve of him.

No matter how good the knife work

or how intricate the carving,

it's only a supplementary aspect.

While this is a home-cooked dish,

it actually requires more experience

than Sweet and Sour Fish.

He was doing fine,

but why did he start messing around with tofu?

This guy's knife skills are this good?

It seems his reputation isn't unearned.

The knife work is indeed good.

But cooking isn't just about presentation.

See?

He's getting full of himself.

He's adding tofu to Minced Pork with Eggplant.

Can you not add tofu to Minced Pork with Eggplant?

Well, you can.

But adding another ingredient

changes the dish's name.

It could affect the scoring.

Is he adding tofu to Minced Pork with Eggplant?

If it doesn't match the theme, it'll hurt his score.

There's less than ten minutes left.

There probably isn't enough time to handle the pork now.

Five minutes left in the competition.

Only five minutes left.

What can he even do now?

Three minutes left.

Looking at this,

is he planning not to use pork at all?

Thirty seconds left on the clock!

Do you know your problem?

Your assigned dish was Minced Pork with Eggplant,

but you didn't use any pork.

You strayed from the theme.

We can't score this.

Everyone,

I abandoned pork

as the ingredient for this dish

because

the price of pork

has been so high recently.

What does the pork price

have to do with you?

Weren't the pork provided on-site?

Please taste this dish.

I believe you'll understand

its essence once you do.

You three try it too.

You can go wait for the results now.

It's really good.

No wonder Ms. Tao Junior thinks so highly of him.

He actually managed to perfectly replicate

the taste of pork using tofu in such a short time.

The vegetarian meat

also perfectly balances out

the greasiness

from the eggplant absorbing too much oil

during cooking.

Impressive.

This is an innovative dish worth promoting.

It's truly a vegetarian dish.

Especially suitable for people on diets.

It might even generate a huge response.

Worth promoting.

Worth promoting.

[Internal Culinary Competition]

You almost gave me a heart attack.

What happened?

Someone tampered with my pork.

Man,

your Minced Pork with Eggplant

was actually good.

It's a shame you only used tofu and no minced pork.

You went off-topic.

At best, you strayed from the theme.

At worst,

you disrespected the competition.

A chef

needs to learn character,

not just cooking.

Being this flashy

might not be a good thing.

You talk too much.

Zhi,

you're really something.

You managed to show off even with that.

Not bad.

Let's go.

Let's get back to work.

Back where?

Aren't we waiting for the competition results?

The cooking's done. What's left to wait for?

We're leaving.

You're always this confident.

It's good to have the skills.

[Internal Selection Competition]

Xue.

[Minced Pork with Eggplant, Qiao Zhi] The scores for the first round are out.

99.2! The highest score!

Mr. Song,

how are the preparations on your end?

Don't worry.

We've already had someone edit

and produce the entire footage of Qiao Zhi's process.

The new media promotion plan

for the Minced Pork with Eggplant set meal

will be reviewed shortly.

Okay.

Make sure every branch's chefs learn it quickly.

Since we're focusing on healthy eating,

I think we should pair it

with vegetable drinks

and multigrain rice.

Alright, Xue.

You're becoming quite the food expert.

You learn

by eating a lot.

While Huaixiang Group has a long-established reputation,

our image is a bit too traditional.

This new co-branded zone

has definitely injected some youthful energy into our menu.

I believe

the Minced Pork with Eggplant

can really capture the young adult market.

You think you just scared me?

Watch your tone when speaking to a lady.

I need to talk to Qiao Zhi.

I'll wait for you in the car.

You...

Get some work done?

You're looking well-maintained.

Don't play dumb.

Are you crazy?

It's worth tens of thousands, and you just toss it at me?

I've signed with Shengtang Entertainment.

I'm going on a business trip tomorrow.

Before I leave,

aren't you going to come clean?

About what?

Do you have feelings for me?

Just focus on your work.

Work hard so I can see you on the big screen soon.

Here.

That's it?

So stubborn.

Was it you who paid my three-million penalty

for breach of contract?

Where would I get that kind of money?

You paid it yourself.

I paid it?

Yeah.

It's from your Canteen dividends.

I advanced them for you.

Anyway, the penalty fee isn't due for a year.

I did the math.

It's enough.

Even though he won't say it,

he definitely pulled strings

to help me with the Shengtang deal too.

From the moment he joined this family,

he's truly treated me like family.

Thank you, Zhi.

It's nothing.

Han Bin

can only influence small influencer companies.

Shengtang Entertainment

isn't a place where he can stir up trouble.

So

from here on,

you'll have to walk your own path.

You too.

Be happy with my sister.

Of course, we will.

How long is this business trip?

Three days.

Only three days?

And you made it sound like some final farewell?

Wasted my emotions.

[Canteen]

The cut needs to be deeper here.

Qiao Zhi!

Huaixiang's internal competition results are in.

You're in first place, with a score of 99.2.

[Minced Pork with Eggplant, Qiao Zhi] Congratulations, sir!

Congratulations, sir!

Congratulations, sir!

Guess I got lucky.

I told you you'd be number one at Huaixiang.

Qiao Zhi,

how about we go out

for drinks tonight to celebrate?

Well...

How about this?

Once everything settles down,

I'll treat everyone!

Alright then.

Get back to work.

You're so stingy.

Is treating everyone that hard?

Focus on perfecting this carving first.

Isn't my carving good enough?

Deeper.

It needs to be deeper.

Right here.

Deeper here?

Yes.

Hao!

Hao.

Congratulations, Hao.

Congratulations.

You got second place in the first round,

with a score of 98.

Time for a big red envelope, right?

- Yeah! - Red envelope!

Red envelope!

Red envelope!

Are you all crazy?

Have you ever heard of second place giving out red envelopes?

Get back to work!

Don't you know the rules?

You must focus when using a knife.

Yes, Master.

Sorry.

Finish your tasks,

then come to the meeting room.

Yes.

The board takes Qiao Zhi's Minced Pork with Eggplant

very seriously.

They plan to promote it in the co-branded zone.

Keep an eye on this.

Okay.

Understood.

I'll send you the production process

and video later.

What do you think

of Hao Wang?

Well,

with a bit more effort,

he could become a pillar of our restaurant.

But I don't think

I should let him participate in the King of Chefs Championship.

He's got too much pride.

Then

what about Qiao Zhi?

Qiao Zhi...

While he still has some maturing to do,

the potential he's shown

is remarkable.

To be honest,

I don't know

how far he'll go.

Come in.

Mr. Song. Master.

Implement the new dish as soon as possible.

Take care, Mr. Song.

Sit.

Master, after you.

Sit.

Hao Wang,

you've always been hardworking.

That's a lot like me.

But you should treat this competition

as a learning experience.

Don't focus too much on the ranking.

Yes.

I'm just worried

about failing

to meet your and the Group's expectations.

No one is pressuring you.

Don't think

you alone represent Huaixiang Restaurant.

I see.

I just didn't expect to lose to Qiao Zhi.

Focus on yourself.

Appreciate your opponent.

I've told you this before.

Have you forgotten?

Okay, Master.

Sorry.

[Huaixiang Restaurant]

[Minced Pork with Eggplant] Sorry.

All reservations for today are sold out.

Please come back next time.

Miss!

Don't go!

What's up?

Couldn't get a ticket?

Yeah.

I have some here.

Fifty yuan each. Want one?

Fifty each?

Deal.

Should we just eat here?

Come on.

I want one too!

Got it!

Plenty for everyone.

Plenty.

Come on.

I want one too!

Eighty!

I'm not selling for fifty anymore.

Eighty!

♪The smell of cooking fills the streets♪

♪Indulge myself in the tenderness of life♪

It's eighty now.

Come on.

♪The small restaurant we once went to♪

Faster!

We're running out!

♪Is filled with my longing for you♪

Oh please, Mr. Hao,

can you prep the ingredients a bit quicker?

I know.

Come on, everyone, faster!

♪Oh, hand in hand♪

All he does is rush.

Got a demon on their back?

Alright, stop complaining.

Qiao Zhi's one dish made him a hit all over town.

♪Love means to be with you♪

♪During three meals a day for all seasons♪

Recently,

eggplants have been selling out in major markets,

all because of

a single home-cooked dish, Minced Pork with Eggplant,

launched by Huaixiang Group.

It's quite surprising.

Xue,

♪Enjoying ordinary meals with you♪

here's the product report from all branches.

♪And give me the happiness that I expect♪

[National Average Rating: 9.5]

A 9.5 rating?

Not just the high score.

The online buzz is even better.

It seems

healthy eating

is really the trend everyone's chasing now.

You young people really understand your own generation better.

So you invited me today

just for a home-cooked meal?

Yeah.

This is the Minced Pork with Eggplant Qiao Zhi made

for Huaixiang Group's internal competition.

It's being rolled out to all branches nationwide now.

A new dish from Mr. Qiao?

I have to try it.

Why does this Minced Pork with Eggplant

taste different from the usual one?

Waitress.

Hello, ma'am.

Hello.

Could you tell me

how this Minced Pork with Eggplant

is made?

It's a completely vegetarian dish.

The "minced pork" on top

is made from seasoned tofu.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

It seems this dish

is very friendly to us women.

Legend has it that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty,

there was a temple

famous for its vegetarian cuisine.

They were experts at making a dish called "Vegetarian Meat."

It was famous locally

and even reached the scholar-official class.

Later, the temple

was burned down by a fire,

and the technique for making the vegetarian meat

was lost.

I've seen many techniques for making vegetarian meat

from tofu before.

But compared to this dish,

they all lack depth.

Take us actors, for example.

I've eaten a lot of vegetarian meat

to stay in shape.

But they're nowhere near as good

as this dish.

Turning Minced Pork with Eggplant into a vegetarian dish.

It fits perfectly with the current weight-loss market.

You have to admit,

Huaixiang Group's marketing department

is very sharp.

They quickly grasped the essence of this dish.

This will help them capture the market fast.

It seems Mr. Qiao

always surprises us in different ways.

Huaixiang Group really found a gem.

Speaking of which, Qiao Zhi owes you such a big favor.

Isn't he going to thank you?

Right!

You just reminded me.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Qiao.

Are your manners

a bit off?

I did you such a big favor,

and I have to come asking for my reward?

Sorry about that.

I've been busy with the competition lately.

How about this?

Come to Canteen tomorrow.

My treat, as an apology.

Fine.

Glad you have a conscience.

See you tomorrow.

Was that Mu Xiao?

Are you free tomorrow? Join us.

Okay.

We should indeed thank her properly.

By the way,

you're coming to

pick me up.

Won't my sister get jealous?

She told me to pick you up.

If you're picking me up,

why are you in the passenger seat?

I...

I just don't like driving.

And some men don't like driving?

By the way,

you must have a fair amount in your accounts now.

Why don't you buy a car?

You're a boss, after all.

Buying a car for appearances is necessary.

I'm in the start-up phase.

Save where we can.

Besides,

buying a car isn't like buying a house.

Cars depreciate and are a constant expense.

Then why hasn't the mileage changed

while I was away,

and you had the car?

Why didn't you drive?

I get it now.

It's not that you don't like driving.

You're actually afraid to drive, aren't you?

Because your skills are terrible?

Am I right?

What do you mean you're right?

I... How could I...?

Fine.

I...

I'm afraid to drive.

So what?

Anyway, I always have people to drive me.

A grown man afraid to drive.

That's rarer than a fear of heights.

Alright.

What kind of person would mock their own brother-in-law?

Okay, I'll stop laughing.

By the way,

did my sister

go to cheer you on at the competition?

No.

Her position is a bit sensitive.

To avoid

gossip.

She's so pretentious.

What's the big deal?

You are her husband.

Alright.

You just focus on driving.

Watch the road.

How have things been at Shengtang lately?

Not bad.

I heard your business trip is for recording a variety show?

I think you should do fewer variety shows.

You moved from influencer to showbiz.

While variety shows bring quick money,

they use up

your novelty value with the audience.

Look at those veteran actors.

They don't appear in public too often.

You need to learn

to value your own image, just like them.

Do you know how long it's been

since I last updated my short videos?

If I were really just in it for the money,

I wouldn't have joined Shengtang at all.

I made much more as an influencer

than I do now as an actress!

These variety shows are all the result

of discussions with my company.

Besides,

those veteran actors you mentioned

are only qualified to wait for the right opportunities

after building up

a certain level of skill and popularity.

If I stayed home

like them,

no one would know me

or offer me roles.

If you're really embarrassed

that I'm on variety shows,

then

don't tell people I'm your sister from now on.

That way,

you can protect your glorious,

upstanding image out there!

That's two different things, Tao Rushuang!

After Mom got sick,

do you have any idea how many people

are eyeing our family's assets?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I just feel like

such a failure.

What's the use of my being so good at cooking?

I still can't get you two to stop bickering.

Try this.

This is a gift I specially prepared for you.

You bought this just for me?

Yes.

Just for you.

One of a kind.

Lipstick?

Have you ever seen a grown man use lipstick?

Plenty.

All the guys I know use lipstick.

The men in your circle are a bit different.

You

didn't buy this for me, did you?

If I say it's for you now,

then it's for you.

You

should give this to your sister yourself.

Speaking of which, you really should thank her properly.

Why should I?

Look at her, so arrogant!

It annoys me just looking at her.

You still don't know, do you?

She...

If you're choking, drink some water.

Even if she coughs, I'm still going to say it.

For you,

she specifically

went to the Ninghai TV station

to place ads for your show.

Why?

Just so the directors

would give you, a newcomer, more care

and screen time.

Turns out

you performed quite well.

The directors

and senior folks on the show really liked you.

They said your highlight moments

were too good to cut.

So her ad investment

wasn't in vain.

Don't overthink it.

I was simply

promoting

Huaixiang Restaurant's new dishes.

You have to rely on your own hard work.

Her bark is worse than her bite.

Give it here.

What?

Wait,

this is her gift to me.

What would a grown man do with lipstick?

Who are you gonna give it to?

Anyway, I'm the owner now.

How I handle it is none of your business.

None of your business.

She's all bark.

[Tao Rushuang]

Thank you for the gift.

Thank you for your help.

Cherish the one you're with.

[Huaixiang Group]

This set meal

has been out for less than a week,

but the response

has been incredible.

Thousands of branches

have sold

over half a million servings.

It's achieved unprecedented success.

Netizens

have even called

this set meal

the "Miracle Diet Meal."

[Miracle Diet Meal!]

[Minced Pork with Eggplant] It quickly became a hit

[Help You Lose Weight?] among young people.

Its weight-loss effects may be moderate,

but

every single customer who tried it

gave it a perfect rating.

And,

we've summarized the reasons

[Huaixiang Restaurant] for the success

of the Minced Pork with Eggplant.

There are three points.

First,

[Minced Pork with Eggplant] we tightly grasped

the characteristics of the mobile Internet.

We leveraged public interest in the topic

of weight loss

for promotion.

Second,

Qiao Zhi

presented the recipe

in a simple, straightforward,

and authentic way,

so all branches could learn

and master the essence of the dish.

Third,

the Brand Center's promotional efforts

were a key reason.

- Good! - Good!

Well done, everyone.

Issue the corresponding

performance bonuses to all participants.

Then

what about the creator of this dish, Qiao Zhi?

What's his reward?

A percentage based on the profit share from the co-branded zone.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Exactly.

There's no precedent for this.

We've never done it that way before.

- Never done it. - Never done it.

Everyone,

from now on,

it's not just Qiao Zhi.

We encourage all our chefs

to innovate with dishes.

We will evaluate new dishes.

Once they pass the evaluation,

we will promote and package them

based on their unique features.

Both the developing chef

and the promotion team

will receive a percentage

of the profits from the new dish.

More capable, more work.

More work, more reward.

Huaixiang needs innovation,

and even more, it needs excellent chefs like Qiao Zhi

to maintain its youthful vitality

in a rapidly changing market.

Does anyone have any objections?

a really great job.

We can

give this method a try.

Okay.

Mr. Song will explain

the detailed rules later.
