This is Xiao Ning.

He doesn't look like a good person at all.

My wife and I are the new managers hired by the owner.

Manager Bi.

So you were hired by Jiang Yun.

Then from now on, we're on the same side.

Just follow Boss Jiang and do your best.

You'll have plenty of good food and drink in the future.

Xiao Ning, don't be so unruly.

Unruly?

When we talked before,

haven't we always talked like this?

Alright.

I wanted to talk to you today

about the new wine promotion plan.

Come, have a seat.

Come on, come on.

Sit down.

Just listen to me.

Your Majesty.

Why are you hiding your identity from Xiao Ning?

He seems to be a very calculating person.

We need to keep a close eye on him.

Look,

all these years,

Yun'er has never been so close to anyone.

If Xiao Ning is really that scheming,

I'm afraid Yun'er will get hurt.

He wouldn't dare.

Logistics.

Do you understand logistics?

It's about using

carriage companies and traveling merchants from different places

to build a comprehensive, multi-level wine distribution network.

What are you looking at?

Did you understand everything I just said?

Yes, I understood.

Talking so much has made me thirsty.

Manager Bi,

go get a pot of tea.

Why are you looking at me?

I said I'm thirsty.

Thirsty.

I'll do it, I'll do it.

Manager Bi.

I have to say something to you about this.

As excellent service professionals,

we must be observant.

Otherwise, all the customers would leave.

You...

Manager Bi is the new manager I hired.

He's different from other managers.

He doesn't need to do such things.

I don't agree with what you just said.

Well...

There's a saying where we're from:

Do the job that comes with your position.

Since you're in this position,

you should do it well.

Do the things your position requires.

You can't look down on your own profession.

Alright, alright, stop talking.

Fine.

Manager Bi, pour some tea.

Xiao Ning.

Do you know who he is?

Ning'er, how dare you!

Father.

Do you know who this person is?

Could it be that Xiao Hetai

has discovered my identity?

We're all on the same side.

Father, please don't make things more complicated.

I'm teaching Manager Bi how to do things.

You? You're teaching him how to do things?

This is Miss Jiang Yun's father.

You

Aren't you the shopkeeper?

You rude brat with no manners.

Hurry up and apologize to your father-in-law.

Who's his father-in-law? Who's my father-in-law?

Uncle Xiao

I don't have such a son-in-law.

You said yourself that you're the shopkeeper.

Brother Jiang

I know you and Mrs. Jiang

have been deliberately hiding your identities

to see if my son Ning

is worthy of Miss Jiang.

Come, come, please have a seat.

Brother Jiang

Don't mind that my son Ning acts a bit rashly.

But when it comes to Miss Jiang,

he is truly sincere.

Even when he's asleep, he keeps mumbling

Miss Jiang's name.

Dad

Dad, in front of their whole family,

what are you saying?

Look, look, he's even getting shy.

Who's getting shy?

Brother Jiang

Look, these two kids are so well-matched.

Who's well-matched?

Dad, please stop talking.

Let's settle the marriage as soon as possible.

There's no rush.

I still have a few questions

I'd like to talk to him alone.

Alone?

Well, all right then, we'll step outside.

Okay.

Dad, don't just say okay!

Dad

Dad

Uncle Jiang

Have some tea.

I, um...

This is our first time meeting.

I didn't really prepare anything.

Mainly because I gave all my money to Jiang Yun.

What is your relationship with Yun'er now?

We're just friends.

Do you think I'm a three-year-old?

Don't think I don't know.

Your real reason for getting close to Jiang Yun.

You just want to use her status.

To rise to the top.

Is that true or not?

Uncle Jiang,

Aren't you being a bit disrespectful?

Yes.

She's the owner of Yuxian Restaurant.

I know your family business is big.

You have some money.

But...

I've never spent a single cent of your family's money.

Rise to the top, huh?

You make it sound like your family is royalty.

It seems he really doesn't know.

Yun'er's true identity.

Let me give you some advice.

You'd better not have any ideas about my daughter.

Have ideas about her?

Ideas?

Your Majesty,

Today, I saw that Young Master Xiao is quite handsome and dignified.

He is also clever and quick-witted.

Just as Yun'er described.

What do you think?

Did Yun'er ask you to come and ask me?

Yun'er is just worried that you might be prejudiced against Xiao Ning.

Am I really that petty?

I admit that Xiao Ning is indeed intelligent.

He also has some insight.

And

he has a bit of courage too.

Although his words are a bit unusual,

he is still proper and composed.

But even if he has an extraordinary mind,

and great wealth,

in the end, he is just a money-grubbing merchant.

How could he be worthy of Yun'er?

Master, the young master hasn't returned yet.

That rascal knows he's caused trouble.

Alright.

Today, I'll just wait here for him.

I want to see

when that rascal comes back.

Young master,

Did you really fall out with your father-in-law?

Don't talk nonsense.

I just...

I suppose it's just

normal friction between a son-in-law and father-in-law.

I knew it.

You've already considered Miss Jiang as your wife.

How did you know that?

Since you like her,

why not admit it?

I...

I just haven't figured out how to face it yet.

Go take care of something else for now.

You little brat!

Get him!

Alright, go back and rest.

But, Master...

Young master, young master, you're back!

The master has been waiting for you in the room for a long time.

Who’s there?

Let’s go.

Father.

Dabai, follow me.

Manager Yi.

How is my father?

Although I’ve used bone-setting techniques and medicine,

I’ve managed to save Master Xiao’s life.

But after all, the old master is advanced in age.

And now his bones are injured again.

When will he wake up?

That depends on fate.

Young master, young master!

I secretly followed them.

Those two disappeared around the Han residence.

That small nation, Beicang...

How dare they provoke the might of our Dajing Empire like this!

Your Majesty.

Beicang has stationed tens of thousands of troops this time.

They keep causing trouble at our borders.

I fear they intend to march south.

If war breaks out, what are our chances of victory?

I am deeply concerned.

Last year, our Dajing suffered a drought.

Now, we are severely lacking in troops, weapons, and provisions.

I’m afraid it’s not wise to start another war.

What good strategy do you have, my loyal subject?

Your Majesty.

Beicang values blood ties and family bonds.

If we send a princess for a marriage alliance,

it will not only avoid disaster and war,

but also get Beicang to help our Dajing

and eliminate threats from other northern tribes.
