=Episode 26=

What did you just say?

Strike from another dimension?

The line before that.

Outsiders can disrupt the insiders.

Exactly.

It just occurred to me

that Fulaxida needs a different hiring strategy.

What do you mean?

Find allies.

I just thought of someone.

Investment from allies?

I'm home.

Dinner will be ready in a minute, babe.

I wrapped up the Shanlifang bid today.

I'm exhausted.

Really?

You're amazing, babe!

You worked so hard.

I want a reward.

A reward?

Look.

- All... Hey! - Today just feels...

You haven't washed your hands, little glutton.

You can eat in a bit.

It'll be ready soon.

This feels so nice.

You used to be so busy.

You never had time to cook for me.

I'm really enjoying this moment.

I wish it could always be like this.

Sure.

From now on,

I'll be a househusband.

I'll happily live off you and cook for you every day.

Really?

Really.

Okay, then I promise

I'll make sure you enjoy every meal and never go hungry.

You'll be spoiled.

Deal.

Deal.

I'm hungry.

Just wait a little longer.

It'll be ready soon.

It'll be ready soon.

(Little Smarty Visits the Future)

Jingjing.

Fei.

Guess what? Did I get

the Shanlifang charity gala?

Do you even have to ask?

Of course you got it.

Who are you?

The legendary queen of the industry.

Absolutely.

Congratulations then.

The charity gala

is only a few days away, right?

So we all start work tomorrow?

I've already got everything arranged today.

Okay, I won't forget.

I'll come help in a couple of days, too.

Really?

That's great.

I'm completely worn out today.

I'll let you go now.

Bye.

Okay, get some rest. Bye.

That was your best friend, Yao Jingjing?

I think she's pretty impressive.

So many companies bid

for Shanlifang's charity gala,

and she beat every one of them.

She's really got what it takes.

Obviously.

But how did she end up being friends with you?

You two aren't even on the same level.

Got nothing better to do?

Babe, dinner...

What?

Want it?

What?

Want it?

Flight ticket!

No way. Seriously?

You didn't fake this, did you?

How could it be fake?

I checked before, and there weren't any tickets left.

How did you pull that off?

See?

You're actually pretty capable.

So many things I wish I could do but can't,

you make them look effortless.

I'm starting to see you in a new light.

Wait. What did you think of me before?

I could list your traits

with my eyes closed.

You're vain, love showing off, and you've got a sharp tongue.

You're picky, fussy, and always craving good food.

You're lazy, smug, and have a terrible temper.

And so much more.

Hello? I'd like to cancel my ticket.

You told me to say it.

Someone as honest as me

couldn't possibly lie.

You listed nine things about me,

and then threw in "and so much more."

Fine.

Since that's how you see me,

there's no need for you to think better of me.

I'll just live up to everything in those "and so much more."

Calm down.

Give me one more chance.

Let me explain, okay?

Come on, give her another chance.

Meditating again?

The reason I said you're vain

is that

you're genuinely good-looking.

Look how handsome you are, right?

You've earned the right to be vain.

The reason I said you love showing off

is that

you do it with style.

It actually suits you. You have a great presence.

As for saying you like to roast people,

it's because you're so quick-witted.

Right?

Some people wish they could talk like that but can't.

Right?

Sure, you're picky,

but...

You take life seriously.

You never settle for less.

Now that's a good point.

It shows you're a responsible person.

Exactly. That's exactly who I am.

The reason I said you're fussy

is that...

Because...

You...

care about quality of life.

You know what you want

and what you deserve to enjoy.

You really get me.

That's positivity at its best.

Exactly.

As for saying you're a foodie,

I should be happy.

It means you really like my cooking.

- Yeah. - You think my cooking is good.

- You finally figured it out. - I'll be more motivated to cook, right?

As for calling you lazy,

it's because you're busy doing important things.

You can't let housework hold you back.

Right?

If you really became a domestic expert,

you might not have gotten me that ticket.

Right?

Exactly.

As for saying you're a little full of yourself,

well...

I just wanted it to rhyme with the rest.

It just sounded better, right?

Just like "fussy."

What about the last one?

You said I have a bad temper. Explain that.

Well, your temper is...

It's because

when you argued with Gui Lili,

I always felt

you were really harsh with her.

But you've never argued with me.

So I couldn't judge it from an outsider's point of view

and say what was fair.

Right?

You know,

everything you said was spot on.

Right?

You described me perfectly.

I can't believe all those awful words

ended up sounding so good.

And they really got right to my heart.

Right?

Exactly.

That's a pretty fair description.

I couldn't agree more.

But that last one...

I gave it some serious thought.

I guess I really...

Right?

I'm about at my limit.

I'll show you my bad temper.

You're not going home.

Going home? What for?

Stay here and spend the Chinese New Year with me.

If I don't teach you a lesson,

you'll never forget this mistake.

Wait.

What are you doing?

Don't cancel it. You can't.

You really can't.

That's not what I meant.

I... I...

I think you're handsome.

I just got carried away.

I'm all tongue-tied.

Don't cancel it.

Great.

You didn't cancel it.

Thank you.

I can finally go home.

Well...

Well, I'm canceling it again.

Give it here.

You... You come here.

You...

Hurry.

Why are you getting shy now?

Why are you so late, bro?

Isn't it better that I came late?

I'm helping you save some money.

Yeah, right.

You're always so cocky.

But when it really mattered, you were nowhere to be found.

(Monday, Shanhe is here) Back with another alt again?

I'm not in the mood to play with you today.

(Currently 200,000 Dragon Coins short of unlocking)

(this privilege, or complete a Matchmaker quest)

Happy-Go-Lucky,

you saw the Little New Year couples event, right?

Want to meet the Matchmaker

and marry me?

That way, we can complete the couples quest, too.

See you at the Matchmaker's.

I'm doomed.

What's wrong, Jun?

Did your mom give away your gear again?

Dang Yu... Dang Yu is joining the event with someone else.

She's marrying someone else.

Someone stole your wife?

It's okay. We'll help you win her back.

No.

Let me translate.

The girl Jun's talking about...

It's her game account

that's marrying another account.

Why are you freaking out over a game account?

Of course I'm freaking out.

The game is my other world.

Getting married here is just as important

to me as getting married there.

How about this?

Use my account

and marry her a few times.

Make up for it.

Of course not.

I'm going to have Grand Chancellor propose to Po Ming

in front of all the players.

What do I do now?

Just get divorced and remarry.

It's only a game account.

Get divorced?

What if she gets divorced,

and still won't marry me? What do I do then?

You haven't even won her over yet.

And you're already hoping she'll get divorced.

Jun,

you're unbelievable.

Then do this.

Marry someone else yourself.

You can both get back at each other.

No, I can't bear to hurt her.

I'm going to win her back.

With my own hands and my own brains,

I'm going to win Dang Yu back.

You guys keep drinking. I'm heading home.

Jun!

See?

See that?

This is what happens when you get too obsessed with games.

He's played himself silly.

Exactly.

(Qian Fei: I finally got a ticket home. Thanks to my tenant's connections!)

You're unbelievable, Li Yifei.

(Qian Fei) That's just not fair.

What's wrong?

No matter how close we are,

(You can pay me back one dish at a time...) you can't treat me like this.

How did I bully you?

I was the one who went through all that trouble

to get your landlady that ticket.

So why is it always you who gets the credit in front of her?

Haven't I treated you well?

No. Not this time.

You have to introduce her to me.

I've made up my mind.

I've fallen for a tough girl.

At worst, I'll go all in. So what if it ends in marriage?

I want to be friends with her. I want to date her.

I didn't help her get that ticket for your sake.

Have you lost your mind?

You dare make a move on my woman?

Don't forget.

Back in middle school,

when those girls surrounded you and pulled your pants down,

who was it that saved you?

Who pulled your pants back up,

fastened your belt, and zipped up your fly?

You've forgotten already?

I've got photos.

Here, let me help refresh your memory

of the huge favor I did you.

Don't...

No...

Cut it out.

You call that a favor?

That's blackmail.

Do you have any idea

how hard it was to get that ticket?

When it comes to handling Zihao,

you're the best.

But you're always talking big in front of us.

When are you going to make it official?

Honestly, you're the biggest coward.

(Shanlifang Hotel Group Charity Gala Benefiting the Nature Foundation)

You're here, too?

Mr. Jiao.

(Shanlifang Hotel Group Charity Gala Benefiting the Nature Foundation)

Boss, it's really lively today.

It sure is.

Just look at all the media here.

Shanlifang really spared no expense this time.

Liao Shiyu is counting on this to restore her reputation.

If they can calm public opinion this time,

does that mean Qian Fei might get her job back?

I'd say that's a given.

Do you know each other well?

She's Qian Fei's friend.

Let me tell you,

Fei and I

could talk about anything at work.

Clothes don't make the man.

Nice taste.

Right?

Absolutely.

You know,

he really does look like a real estate agent.

Hello, Mr. Liao.

Hello.

Mr. Liao.

Hello, everyone.

Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time.

- Hello, Mr. Liao. - Hello, Mr. Liao.

Hello, everyone.

- Hello, Mr. Liao. - Hello, Mr. Liao.

Thank you, everyone. Thank you.

Excuse me.

(Charity Gala Registration)

(Shanlifang Hotel Group Charity Gala Benefiting the Nature Foundation)

Looks like Fei isn't here yet.

Why would I be looking for him?

Chairman, this time you...

I...

I'm here to catch up with an old friend.

Jinshan.

What a rare guest.

Mr. Li, it's an honor

to have you here today.

How could I miss

your charity gala?

Mr. Li.

A pleasure.

Hello.

And you are?

Sang Shiqi.

Thank you.

Sang Shiqi.

Mr. Sang.

I've heard so much about you.

Mr. Li, your Qiansheng Group

went public in the U.S.

in less than two years.

For those of us

from the younger generation,

you're someone we all look up to.

You're too kind, Mr. Sang.

Actually, the overseas market

isn't as great as people think.

But I did hear

you've landed quite a few promising domestic projects.

One of them is called Fulaxida,

isn't it?

Yes, we do have that project.

But...

it's a very small one.

Very small.

Small though it may be,

I've heard it's in one of the country's key strategic sectors.

Mr. Li, a toast to you.

Cheers.

Our company represents French wineries in China.

We can create a custom wine for your hotel.

Come visit our company sometime.

We've already picked the location.

We're just waiting for your decision.

That's wonderful. We haven't expanded into Yangling yet.

Today, the Liao family's future son-in-law

has been following their daughter around all night.

He's decent-looking enough.

Who knows

if he can really marry into the family.

The walls

are finished with marble we imported from Italy.

They certainly look magnificent.

Exactly.

I heard the groom has no family connections.

Just another guy who's trying to marry up.

Liao really is willing to go all out.

Just look at his bearing.

No matter how you look at him,

he carries himself like someone from a humble family.

So timid and reserved.

Even if he marries into the family,

he'll spend his whole life living under his wife's thumb.

That would let us expand

into other cities.

I'm not interested.

Did you see that?

Liao Shiyu is going on stage in less than half an hour.

You'd better hurry.

There are so many people sitting around her.

I really don't understand.

What's the point?

Between Hejing and Shanlifang,

which company is worth all this effort?

If it were me,

I'd just sit back and watch them make fools of themselves.

Stay here for a bit.

I'll go take a look.

Please keep an eye on the result later.

Okay.

Sure.

Let's exchange contact details later.

Okay.

Thanks. I hope you're right.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Well, you're pretty bold.

Why are you pretending to be a waiter?

Are you here to ruin the event?

You're actually not furious.

Did you already know I was coming?

Let me tell you.

When I saw you bring this outfit home,

and you weren't anxious after being suspended,

and even had Yao Jingjing bid for this charity gala,

I guessed what you were planning.

So you planned this long ago.

If you knew, why did you ask?

Either work with me

or get out of my way.

I'm telling you,

you can't solve the problem.

None of your business.

They're looking this way.

And you're still walking over there. Are you silly?

You smell pretty nice today.

Did I smell bad before?

Listen.

Are they gone?

Listen.

They're gone. I'm going now.

Why are you drinking here alone?

I just want some peace and quiet.

Qian Fei?

What are you doing here?

Ms. Liao, regarding the public apology I suggested,

I drafted a speech.

I hope you'll give it some thought.

Qian Fei.

You're quite capable.

You even managed to sneak in like this.

Take off that uniform and go get something to eat.

The media will all be there tonight. I won't put you in an awkward position.

Anyway,

please read it first before you decide.

When the first video came out,

Shanlifang chose to bury its head in the sand,

hoping to muddle through.

Then the second video came out right after.

This clearly shows

someone planned this in advance.

So no matter how big a splash this charity gala makes

or how influential it is,

once the third video comes out,

Shanlifang will completely

lose the public's trust.

It will affect the hotel's IPO.

Then how do you think we should respond?

I think you should sincerely apologize to the public

and carry out reforms from top to bottom.

The first two videos are already out.

The negative impact Shanlifang has caused

can no longer be undone.

You can only accept the consequences.

But if you have the courage

to carry out comprehensive reforms,

I believe Shanlifang

can fix every hygiene loophole in its hotels this time.

So no matter how many more videos come out in the future,

they will only prove

that those videos were filmed before.

Someone is deliberately smearing you and spreading rumors.

You can take legal action.

Have you thought about

what an apology means right now?

An apology means consumers

receive the basic respect they deserve.

It also means Shanlifang has

the resolve and attitude to fix the problem completely.

How many meetings did we have

before deciding on this plan?

If we were going to apologize from the start,

why prepare this nine million?

Apologizing now

would be the same as admitting it, wouldn't it?

No. At this point,

if you don't admit it, are you still going to deny it, Wang Ruohai?

You only need to take one chance.

If it works,

I believe Ms. Liao will truly see your worth.

I think this is important to you.

It's important for your relationship, too.

Qian Fei.

Why are you trying to save Shanlifang?

I'm not saving Shanlifang.

I'm saving the IPO project that Shanlifang entrusted to Hejing.

I'm saving myself.

There are so many reporters gathered outside.

They're all here for the charity gala.

Now we're changing the whole focus.

Isn't that too risky?

Everything I prepared is in there.

I still hope you'll give it serious thought.

Something this serious happened,

and you don't have a single constructive suggestion.

All you're doing is hiding here drinking.

I'll go out once I sober up.

Today's event

is for my father to introduce you to some people.

On an occasion this important,

everything you say and do

represents more than just you.

It represents Shanlifang and me, too.

I know you're important. I know your father is important, too.

Shanlifang is also important.

But I'm not.

My whole family isn't either.

The moment I came here today,

everyone was talking about

who I am to you,

who I am to your father,

and who I am to Shanlifang.

I've lived for over twenty years

before I realized

I can only define myself

through all of you.

Do you resent me that much?

Don't you like the life you have now?

I thought this was everything you ever wanted.

I thought you'd like it.

I just want to be myself.

Then you have to fight for that yourself.

How people see you

depends on how you see yourself.

Take today for example.

There are so many people outside.

It wouldn't look good if we were both gone this long.

Take your time.

I need to get back to work.

Shiyu.

I've thought about this for a long time.

I can't live up to your expectations.

Let's break up.

(Shanlifang Hotel Group Charity Gala Benefiting the Nature Foundation)

Good evening, everyone.

I'm Liao Shiyu, Vice President of Shanlifang Hotel Group.

First of all, on behalf of Shanlifang Hotel Group,

I'd like to welcome everyone to our charity gala.

As you can all see,

Shanlifang Hotel Group has always been committed

to providing consumers with the highest quality service.

We place special emphasis

on the air quality inside our hotels.

So far,

Shanlifang Hotel Group

has adopted world-class fresh air systems

in hundreds of hotels nationwide.

The temperature and humidity in the atrium

have reached world-class standards.

Of course, for all of this, we have the Nature Foundation to thank.

It was you

who provided us with environmental technology support.

Now, please allow me to introduce

the China Representative

of the Nature Foundation, Ms. Song.

Shanlifang Hotel Group

will donate

9 million yuan

to the Nature Foundation to support

wildlife conservation in southwestern China.

(Donation Check: 9,000,000 yuan)

Next,

I'd like to play a video

to show everyone

the latest changes at Shanlifang Hotel Group.

What's going on?

Why is this happening?

What should we do? Should we turn off the big screen?

Wait a little longer.

Come here.

Quick, get it on camera.

Director.

I'm really betting everything on you.

An apology means consumers

receive the basic respect they deserve.

It also means Shanlifang has

the resolve and attitude to fix the problem completely.

As everyone can see,

after extensive discussions, Shanlifang has decided

to take this opportunity

to issue an official statement on this week's hotel room

hygiene incident.

We have confirmed after a thorough investigation

that the problems shown in the videos are all true.

We have decided

to offer our sincerest apology.

We also hope all our customers

will continue to supervise us

and witness

our determination and the results of our reforms.

But if anyone

tries to use this opportunity to smear Shanlifang,

I will also take legal action

to protect Shanlifang's lawful rights.

Good.

Now things are really blowing up.

Wasn't this all your doing?

Are you saying Wang Ruohai did it?

I left the flash drive on the table.

Nice work.

Professional.

Let's go, Boss.

Mission accomplished. Why are you still standing here grinning?

Let's go.

Drive safely.

Put on some music.

(Resignation Letter Applicant: Wang Ruohai)

It's a shame.

You still chose to leave.

Don't you have anything to say to me?

Wait.

I know that a lot of the time,

you compare me to Qian Fei.

Qian Fei is hardworking and thoughtful.

But I'm not.

I grew up

as a spoiled young lady.

When I'm thirsty, you have to bring me water.

When I'm hungry, you have to eat late-night snacks with me.

During holidays, I never, like Qian Fei,

thought about helping you

buy gifts for your parents

or visit them.

And...

I always embarrass you in front of your coworkers.

I force you to do things you don't like.

For all of this,

I should apologize to you.

Everything I did for you

was of my own free will.

It's just that lately, I've been thinking

I did far too little

for Qian Fei.

Every time I think about it,

I feel terrible.

Recently, my mom got sick.

While staying with her,

I've also been thinking.

What I truly need

is a relationship

where we stand by each other.

So to you,

am I just vanity and a future prospect?

Anyway,

I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Isn't this my laptop?

You helped me play that video last night?

Have you figured out how to thank me?

When did you start

knowing my exact plan?

=Love Has Fireworks= (Next Episode Preview)

When did you start

knowing my exact plan?

And when did you

steal my laptop

and do all this behind my back?

Were you planning to wait until I wasn't home

and bring your influencer girlfriend here to spend the Chinese New Year?

You mean Jin?

She's not my girlfriend at all.

I don't have a girlfriend.

You're still denying it? Still making excuses?

Hello?

Fei?

I'm on the pedestrian street near your place.

My stomach suddenly hurts really badly.

Can you come help me?

I...
