Landlady.

Landlady,

what are we having for dinner tonight?

Haven't you been managing your figure lately?

Have you ever heard of skipping dinner?

It helps you get abs.

Really?

I advise you, before you go on strike,

take a look at this first

before making a decision.

Ms. Li Fei.

Don't you think you owe me

a few words of praise?

Zhi!

Front row seats!

Thank you! Thank you so much.

You're amazing, bro!

At least you know how to be grateful.

How about this? I'll buy a whole sack of eggplant tomorrow

and cook for you every day.

What are you looking at?

A whole sack of eggplant?

Shut up.

I...

Forget what you just saw.

Anything else?

Nothing.

Thanks.

You're not heading home?

I'm not done yet.

Okay.

Yay!

Out of the nine hotels involved,

seven have issued public responses and taken action.

Four international hotels

chose a more conservative approach.

They shut down comments on their accounts

and claimed the video was fake.

Two have announced plans

to sue the blogger who posted them.

Are you not feeling well?

Should I continue?

What about Shanlifang?

Following Ms. Liao's instruction,

we were the fifth company

to release a public statement.

We didn't admit to the allegations.

How is it now?

Currently...

I've been through a lot.

Just say it.

This time

is different.

Public outrage is unusually intense.

They think the hotels are denying responsibility.

They've even started a petition

calling for a boycott

of all nine hotels.

How does this look?

You've changed back and forth so many times.

He's on stage, and you're in the audience. He won't notice you.

Why won't he? I'm sitting in the front row.

He interacts with the audience in the first rows all the time.

It's my first time seeing him.

I have to look my best.

You women

treat your idols better

than your own husbands.

How is that the same?

Fine, fine. Take it.

Hey.

Why are you taking one back?

What do you mean?

Did you think both tickets were for you?

You're greedy.

Do you know how hard it was for me to get these tickets?

Or else what?

I already made plans with someone. Give me the tickets...

On what grounds?

If you take them all,

what about me?

Are you going, too?

Didn't you say you didn't know him?

That you weren't interested? Give it to me.

No way.

Give me!

No.

Give me!

I love him!

Do you know what I went through to get these tickets?

I've completely fallen in love with him.

I can't get him off my mind.

Is that wrong?

Really?

Fine. We'll go together.

Be grateful, okay?

Say, how much was the ticket?

You're bringing up money over an idol we both love?

How tacky.

Take it as a New Year's gift.

I can't.

I need to pay you back. How much is it?

If you insist on paying me back,

ten plates of stir-fried eggplant wouldn't even cover it.

Three at most.

Deal.

Three plates, you promise.

If it weren't for me taking care of them,

these flowers would've never bloomed this beautifully.

That's true.

You're good at everything you do.

Even the flowers listen to you,

let alone anything else.

Looks like I should step aside

and leave you young people

more time and space

before you start finding me troublesome.

Chairman Liao.

We're at home. Don't call him Chairman. Call him Mr. Liao.

Mr. Liao.

You're not old at all.

You're the most handsome dad in the whole universe.

Ruohai, sit.

That sweet tongue of yours.

You sure know how to make me happy.

Go on.

You called me over, softened me up first,

and now you're going to give me an earful, aren't you?

I know exactly how you work.

Let's get to the point.

The online backlash has blown up.

If Shanlifang doesn't take any action...

Mr. Liao, that's a bit of an overstatement.

This incident may look accidental,

but personally,

I believe someone was behind it.

There's an account called Diansansan.

We looked into it.

It had been running for thirteen months

just for that very post.

Most of the companies involved

are international hotel brands.

So I don't think

Shanlifang was the intended target.

We simply got caught in the crossfire.

The impact on us

shouldn't be too severe.

Then...

what do you make

of the calls for a boycott?

People these days are under a lot of pressure.

They're simply using this incident

as an outlet to vent.

Time is the best medicine.

So the best course of action

is to do nothing.

Ruohai knows what he's talking about.

Looks like you've thought of everything.

Of course.

That said, Shanlifang

isn't sitting idle.

Internally, we'll conduct a thorough investigation.

We can't allow something like this to happen again.

Externally,

we've prepared

various promotions.

Netizens have short memories.

With these offers,

our sales should rebound soon.

Please rest assured, Chairman.

Our team

will get us through this crisis as quickly as possible.

Aren't you surprised?

Hmm?

Good.

Shiyu, you've grown up.

With Ruohai's support,

you're more than capable of handling things on your own.

Looks like

I worried for nothing.

You were clearly worried about the company,

yet you said

you missed me because it was the end of the year

and you wanted a family dinner.

For a father, nothing matters more

than seeing his daughter happy.

Don't put all your heart into work.

Relationships are like work.

They need your care and attention, too.

I don't quite follow.

Are you trying to marry me off?

How could I bear to?

I haven't spoiled you enough yet.

If you do get married,

it should be someone

who dotes on you the way I do.

Then that's impossible.

Looks like I'll never get married.

You always have a way with words.

(Fun Theater) It's a crosstalk performance.

Yes, it is.

(Mini Theater) We're so happy to bring you out

to perform for everyone.

Am I livestock or what?

To pull you out.

Would that make any difference?

To drag you out.

What am I? A corpse?

No, I mean they go down, and you come up.

That's called...

That's called inviting me out.

Right. To sniff you out.

Am I snot?

Invite.

To invite you out

and perform.

There you go.

He's a very outstanding idiot.

No, wait a second. What did you say?

Sorry, my bad.

A crosstalk performer.

So am I an idiot or a performer?

An idiot performer.

Does that even sound right?

Just kidding.

Stop joking.

I like you.

Really?

Let me praise you.

Go on.

In the entire crosstalk world,

you're one of the most famous

of your kind.

Alright.

So now I'm a species?

Wrong choice of words. What do you mean, "of my kind"?

A flock?

Am I a duck?

A school?

What, am I ribbonfish?

A puddle? A blob? A lump?

Am I some kind of goo now?

I'm not even a solid anymore.

No, no. What I mean is,

you're truly one of a kind.

Bravo!

A very outstanding performer.

I'm not sure.

Everyone here can vouch for that.

We've got a full house today.

Yes.

Not many of them are here for me.

No way.

Funny, aren't they?

They're supportive.

A crosstalk performer who can't talk or joke isn't much of a performer.

That's right.

The four essential skills are speaking, imitating, teasing, and singing.

It's all about making everyone happy.

Since everyone's here, why don't you do an impression?

Give us an imitation.

Can you do that?

No problem.

How about something that flies?

Something that flies?

What do you have in mind?

A plastic bag.

(This silly girl)

(actually ignored me.)

(What's so special about that guy anyway?)

(Fun Theater) Mr. Zhi, I like you so much.

Thank you. Come.

Mr. Zhi, I really like you.

Thank you.

Let's take a picture together.

We'll do a group photo.

Okay.

Thanks.

Zhi, I've liked you for a long time.

Can we take a photo together?

Sure, no problem.

Nice.

One more.

Okay.

I finally get a photo with him,

and you make me look terrible.

Who says? Look at Zhi.

Look. Zhi looks great.

Zhi's so cute.

I'm so today. I'm so excited!

What about you?

You?

Me too. I'm so happy.

I finally got to meet Zhi.

Right?

I'm just...

Hopeless.

What did you just say?

I said Zhi is so inspiring and talented.

I really like him!

I...

Unlike you, pretending to be some rich kid.

Hey. What's your problem?

You're being ungrateful.

Did you forget who got you the ticket?

You, of course. Thank you so much.

Let's grab some drinks when we get home.

We're not working tomorrow anyway.

Let's drink. Drink as much as we want.

You're asking for drinks?

Watch your image.

Zhi!

Zhi!

Hurry!

Thank you.

This is absolutely the best gift I've gotten this year.

I'll be happy all next year.

You're welcome.

But I seem to remember

someone told me

that if I got the tickets,

she would take my last name.

I remembered correctly, right?

You definitely heard wrong.

I said I'd change my surname.

I never said whose surname I'd change it to.

So you're playing word games now?

Are you trying to weasel your way out of it?

You're the one

who misunderstood and started fantasizing.

Fine.

You don't have to take my surname.

But you've got to change it.

What do you want to change it to?

Let me offer you one.

The last name Tan.

Tan Fei. How's that?

Sounds like "flick".

I'll flick your forehead.

How about Wang Fei? [*A famous Chinese singer, Faye Wong]

Sounds good.

I like Faye Wong, too.

If none of those works,

maybe

I'll take my dad's surname.

Aren't you using your dad's surname?

No.

Whose surname are you using? Your mom's?

Yeah. I changed it before.

Really?

What was your name before?

Su Fei.

Su Fei? [*Sofy, a sanitary pad brand]

I knew it. Stop laughing.

It was because of people like you

who kept making fun of my name

that I had to change it.

Do you know how much determination

it took for me to change my name?

That was absolutely

the bravest decision I've made.

Back then, I swore

that if I couldn't change my name,

I wouldn't go to college.

This name

comes with a lot of baggage.

But

after changing it,

I realized it wasn't much better.

I can't hold on to money, you know?

Qian Fei. Qian Fei.

Know why?

It sounds like "overdue payment".

Money just flies away from me.

I can't keep it.

Why didn't you

change your given name, too?

You should've called yourself Qian Lai. Money comes.

My dad said

a fortune teller picked my name.

Apparently, I was lacking something in the five elements.

I don't remember which one.

Anyway, he said I couldn't change it.

I see.

I think

the element you're missing

is common sense.

You're the one without common sense.

I'll kick you.

Keep it up, and I'll kick you.

Kick me?

Silly.

Did my wise advice

get through to you?

Your phone's ringing.

(Jin)

Hello, Jin.

What happened? Figured out how to repay you?

Not yet. It's something else.

Romance is blooming everywhere, huh?

Thank you.

He closed the door? Who cares to listen?

Where are you going?

Are you going on a date?

A date? What date? It's a serious business.

You just drank. Don't drive.

Alright.

Hold on.

Well,

be nice to her.

Talk nicely. Don't lose your temper so easily.

Unless she has no rent money

to pay you back,

and has no choice but to share an apartment with you.

What are you talking about?

Don't lock the door.

I'll be back soon.

You're not staying out overnight?

Fei Dear.

Being in love really changes people.

One second we're chatting,

the next

he's gone.

What an ungrateful friend.

Why do I feel a little upset?

(Dad)

Hello, Dad?

You're still up this late?

Your mom's in the ER.

Can you come back tomorrow?

What happened?

Wasn't her condition stable?

(Operation in Progress) She knew that you and Qian Fei broke up,

and her blood pressure shot up.

Then she suddenly had chest pain.

I rushed her to the hospital,

and the tests showed that a major artery in her heart

was 90 percent blocked.

They had to operate immediately to save her life.

Okay. I got it.

Well,

I'll book the earliest flight tomorrow morning.

I'm buying the ticket now. I'll hang up first.

(Qian Fei)

Wang Ruohai?

Hello?

Qian Fei.

I want to ask you something.

Did you tell my mom

that we broke up?

Of course not.

I just called to ask

how she was doing.

Turns out,

you haven't been honest with your parents.

So I made up an excuse.

Qian Fei,

we've already broken up.

Can you stop caring for my mom

in your own way?

She doesn't need it.

My whole family doesn't need it.

Qian Fei, I'm telling you,

my mom doesn't need your fake concern.

If you have a shred of decency,

stay away from my family from now on, okay?

What are you talking about?

What are you doing here, Li Yifei?

Hang up.

Hello? Hello?

Didn't Li Yifei go see his girlfriend?

Why is he with Wang Ruohai now?

Scoundrel.

The number you've dialed...

(Qian Fei)

(Qian Fei)

You hit me,

and you've let off some steam.

Can we talk now?

Why did you beat me up?

Why?

Do you know the two kinds of men I hate most?

First,

men who use petty tricks behind my back.

Second,

men who use their own women

as stepping stones to get ahead.

And you happen to be both.

The video's edited so convincingly.

Who else was I supposed to go after?

What's going on between you two?

None of your business.

I'm warning you one last time.

If you ever mess with Qian Fei again,

getting beaten up will be the least of your worries.

Why are you still up?

You're back?

Of course. This is my home.

Where else would I go?

Wait.

What happened to your face?

I couldn't shake off that girl, you know?

We had a little argument, and she went straight for my face.

Can you believe it?

Young people these days are really something.

That's your type?

Your taste is getting more and more particular.

Whether I like them or not,

I've got to try while I'm still young.

So I won't have regrets when I'm old.

Come with me.

That look on your face

is like you've been constipated for a week.

Just say what you want to say.

Don't bottle it up.

You want to ask

how things are going with that girl?

Are you curious,

or are you jealous?

You went to see Wang Ruohai?

Wow.

You found out

that I went out with your ex-boyfriend.

You got into a fight?

I couldn't stand the way he talked you down.

That's all.

Wait here.

I'll clean that wound for you.

No need. It's just a scratch.

It doesn't hurt at all.

You should've seen what he looked like.

No need.

Really.

It doesn't hurt at all.

(Dad: The surgery went well. Your mom's fine.)

Ouch!

You scared me.

Be gentle. It hurts.

Hang in there.

Be gentle. It really hurts.

Better now?

My goodness.

It'll just take a second.

A second? There's more?

I need to disinfect it again.

Don't move.

The more you move, the more it'll hurt.

This is just a showcase.

Don't be nervous.

(Zela Dance Studio)

Right.

Alright. Let's get started.

Thank you all for coming to our open day today.

Zela Dance Studio

specializes in street dance.

We've noticed that many seniors

are interested in learning to dance too.

So today,

we've prepared a showcase

featuring both street dance and square dance,

so you can choose what suits you best.

Let's start with street dance.

Music, please.

It's her.

My friend took private lessons with her

and won first prize in the seniors' division last year.

Really?

My grandson is one of her students.

He was just made president of his school's dance club.

That's so good.

She's really good.

The sense of rhythm

is better than square dancing.

Write your name here.

It looks so good.

Do you think I can learn it?

- Of course. - Your phone number

- Anyone can. - and the class you'd like to sign up.

Miss, I'd like to ask about private lessons.

- Well, I think - As for private lessons,

- square dance suits you better. - you can take a look first.

You know, the key is

I'm very detailed

when it comes to breaking down movements.

I also offer extra classes.

I give make-up classes.

It's all free of charge.

The make-up classes are free.

Yes, here's my suggestion.

If you don't get it the first time, I'll go over it with you again.

- Miss Yu. - Book a trial class.

I want to learn dancing with my grandchild.

But my back isn't good.

Your back isn't doing well?

Yeah.

In that case,

I'd advise against this type of dance.

You know what?

The music is more intense.

It can put a lot of strain on your back.

For my grandchild, I can handle it.

I can tell you've never had grandkids. You won't understand.

Let me explain.

Having grandkids and having back problems

aren't directly related.

I mean, you don't understand my concern.

Madam, calm down.

Don't get upset. Hear me out.

You see,

given your back condition,

I don't recommend learning street dance.

But the square dance class

is right next door.

Really?

If you want to spend time with your grandchild,

you can still do that by taking square dancing.

The classes are on the same day.

What do you think?

That works. Now that's more like it.

We just need to understand each other.

Our instructor was only looking out for you, too.

I tend to speak before I think.

I'm going to sign up right now.

That's right. Go ahead.

I'll sign up now.

Go ahead.

Excuse me, Madam.

Miss Yu just explained everything to me.

I'll sign up with you.

Of course. You're more than welcome.

What's your name?

My surname is Fang.

My given name is Ying, as in novelty.

Right.

Jingjing.

Jingjing, it's me.

Jingjing?

Fei,

do you know where Jingjing went?

Okay. Thanks.

(Let's meet at the cybercafé later.)

Where do you live?

Should I drop you off first?

I live farther away. Let's take you home first.

(I'll send you the location later.)

Thanks for helping me just now.

It's fine. I was just telling the truth.

You've been dancing since you were little?

Yeah. People of all ages in Yunnan

love singing and dancing.

If you ever go there again,

you might fall in love with the place.

Yunnan has great air

and beautiful scenery.

But overall,

compared to Shanghai...

I'm just being honest.

Okay. Do you think it looks empty up there?

Should we add some balloons?

No.

Let's leave the top as it is.

Alright.

It wouldn't be safe anyway.

What if something falls down?

You're here, Lu Ze.

Jingjing.

What are you doing here?

I went to your place, but you weren't home.

Qian Fei told me you were here.

Please forgive me.

Can we talk somewhere else?

I'm busy now.

Just a minute.

Just one minute.

I shut the company down.

You were right.

I've been thinking a lot these past few days.

I was always busy with my startup

and the company.

I neglected our life together.

But I didn't realize it.

I thought...

I thought those things were my whole world.

After I calmed down,

I realized that you're the most important thing to me.

So...

after shutting down the company,

I don't want anything else.

I just want to be with you.

Are you not going to stick it out

until the product is launched?

I'm sorry.

I had it all wrong.

Please forgive me.

♪Whenever I look up♪

Jingjing,

after closing the company,

I probably won't have much money.

For a while, I won't be able to give you a big house or fancy cars.

But I'll work hard to make sure you won't have to worry about anything.

From now on, you'll be my priority,

and so will our life together.

Jingjing,

will you marry me?

♪Sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh♪

♪Sometimes we're swept away by sweetness♪

♪Sometimes we run♪

I don't care whether you're rich or not.

And I don't care that your startup failed.

But I don't want to marry you.

I'm sorry.

♪I've never known a love as warm as yours♪

♪Nothing more needs to be said, I won't let go of you♪

You're home.

You bought a lot.

Let me get that.

Hello?

Fei, can you come over?

Just now,

Lu Ze proposed to me again.

I turned him down.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Uh.

I can't make stir-fried eggplant for you tonight.

You and your girlfriend can eat out.

Why the fuss?

I'll be with someone else tonight.

No need to wait up.

Hold on.

What? My girlfriend?

She stood me up?

Well.

Well done.

She stood me up.

Hello? Let's celebrate the New Year together tonight.

You forgot your friend once you've got a girl.

Jeez.

Hello? Let's get everyone together.

We can ring in the New Year together tonight.

Li Yifei, you called me back in the middle of the night yesterday

and said we weren't getting together tonight.

And now you're telling me we're back on?

You jerk.

Do you seriously think I won't stop being friends with you?

Fine.

Knock it off.

I'm feeling crappy right now.

What's wrong? What happened?

Who pissed you off?

Don't ask. Just round everyone up.

As many as you can.

Let's party hard tonight!

I can't do this anymore.

After I told Lu Ze

I wasn't going to marry him,

I suddenly felt completely drained.

What on earth is wrong with me?

=Love Has Fireworks= (Next Episode Preview)

Cheer up.

Happy New Year.

Good night.

They're fighting.

They're fighting.

No!

Don't open the door!

What happened?

I have to capture this moment.

Hey, what are you doing?

- Cross-cup! - Cross-cup!

No, no.

Cross-cup!

I'm a grown man.

You can joke around with me all you want, but don't tease Jin.

She's a young lady.

I'm fine with it.
