190
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,160

191
00:14:46,210 --> 00:14:47,690

192

Get in the car.

195
00:14:59,550 --> 00:15:01,160
Let's take Hu Xiu home first.
She lives close by.

196
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,560
We'll drop you off first.

197
00:15:29,630 --> 00:15:30,360

198

202

You're still falling out with each other.

203
00:15:55,660 --> 00:15:57,320

204
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,630
You were standing together at the gate,

205
00:15:58,630 --> 00:15:59,720
yet back to back.

206
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,120
You didn't say a word

207
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,050

208
00:16:02,070 --> 00:16:04,270
I had to be the one making conversation.

209
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:10,950
You two have been like this
for a while now.

210
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:13,680

that you can't resolve?

211
00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,390

212

Xiao,

214
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:20,320
Hu Xiu is a girl.

215
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,600
It's normal for her to be shy.

216
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,140
You should take the initiative.

217
00:16:23,140 --> 00:16:24,030
You have a mouth.

218
00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:26,270

219
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:26,840

What flavor is this mint?

224
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:40,920
Tastes like a mothball.

225
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,130
Hu Xiu, don't eat it.

226
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,840

391
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,160
This looks like a really old manuscript.

392
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:31,350
Q?

393
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:39,300
We have guests today?

394
00:28:40,350 --> 00:28:41,550
It's Madam's birthday.

395
00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:42,840
Mr. Xiao should be coming.

396
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,040
Better to prepare more than not enough.

397
00:28:48,220 --> 00:28:48,870
I'll go.

398
00:28:58,510 --> 00:29:00,240
At least you show some filial piety.

399
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,840
It's not your place to judge.

400
00:29:02,390 --> 00:29:03,270
On New Year's Eve,

401
00:29:03,270 --> 00:29:06,000
Mrs. Xiao literally
hustled around for nothing.

402
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:08,720
Zhiyu?

403
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Welcome, Zhiyu.

404
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,360
Now our whole family is here.

405
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:14,600
Come on,

406
00:29:14,990 --> 00:29:15,680
let's eat.

407
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,480
Mrs. Xiao,

408
00:29:22,070 --> 00:29:23,000
happy birthday.

409
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,240
I was just about to ask someone

410
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,830
to buy me this set of tools.

411
00:29:32,140 --> 00:29:34,080
I noticed the tools
you were using before weren't very handy,

412
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,480
so I thought of giving you
a set of good ones.

413
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,270
He's

414
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,080
so good at picking gifts.

415
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,180
Last year, when you were into painting,

416
00:29:41,180 --> 00:29:42,240
he got you an easel.

417
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,750
This year, you're interested in gardening,

418
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:45,810
so he got you tools.

419
00:29:47,070 --> 00:29:48,400
That's so thoughtful of you, Zhen.

420
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,270
Thank you.

421
00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:50,480
I'm glad you like it.

422
00:29:54,380 --> 00:29:55,310
Happy birthday.

423
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:13,240
I remember

424
00:30:13,790 --> 00:30:14,790
when I was little,

425
00:30:15,550 --> 00:30:17,410
you loved listening to her songs.

426
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:19,350
Yes,

427
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,160
that was many years ago.

428
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,790
Do you like it?

429
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:32,810
Where did you get it?

430
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,830
Is it a genuine one?

431
00:30:33,830 --> 00:30:34,550
Of course.

432
00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:36,770
I had someone bring it from Hong Kong.

433
00:31:08,140 --> 00:31:10,310
Now that the children
have given their gifts,

434
00:31:10,310 --> 00:31:11,640
I'd like to make a toast.

435
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,640
Wish you

436
00:31:14,140 --> 00:31:15,600
a happy birthday, Wanyue.

437
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:17,750
Thanks to Wanyue,

438
00:31:18,010 --> 00:31:19,810
we are reunited here as a family.

439
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,470
Cheers.

440
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,000
I'll drive.

441
00:31:22,030 --> 00:31:23,360
So let me toast with tea.

442
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:25,810
I'd like to take this chance

443
00:31:25,810 --> 00:31:28,740
to wish our two companies
a successful partnership.

444
00:31:35,510 --> 00:31:36,160
Zhiyu,

445
00:31:36,890 --> 00:31:38,240
I'm so happy that you're

446
00:31:38,460 --> 00:31:39,740
working with Zhen.

447
00:31:41,030 --> 00:31:41,750
Mrs. Xiao,

448
00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:43,360
don't worry about the work.

449
00:31:43,790 --> 00:31:45,720
Zhiyu and I will cooperate well.

450
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,640
You both work so hard.

451
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,920
I'm not worried about your careers.

452
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,240
But your marriages are

453
00:31:53,830 --> 00:31:55,290
what I'm concerned about.

454
00:31:56,110 --> 00:31:57,680
You're not getting any younger.

455
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,340
Why aren't you dating anyone?

456
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,400
Young people

457
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,210
should focus on their careers.

458
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,790
Marriage can wait.

459
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,310
No need to rush into marriage.

460
00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:13,440
But they should at least date someone.

461
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,030
Don't you even have a girl you like?

462
00:32:17,950 --> 00:32:18,670
Mrs. Xiao,

463
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,620
I'm in love with a girl.

464
00:32:23,710 --> 00:32:26,310
I'll bring her to meet you
when I get the chance.

465
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,020
That's wonderful.

466
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,440
What's she like?

467
00:32:31,030 --> 00:32:32,590
She's very smart

468
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:33,750
and cute, too.

469
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:35,750
We met at work.

470
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,000
I admire her a lot.

471
00:32:37,210 --> 00:32:38,450
You met at work?

472
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,630
Does she also work in construction?

473
00:32:39,630 --> 00:32:40,630
A designer?

474
00:32:41,110 --> 00:32:41,790
Yes.

475
00:32:42,340 --> 00:32:44,200
I really like her way of doing things.

476
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,000
And also,

477
00:32:46,110 --> 00:32:47,770
she understands me very well.

478
00:32:58,130 --> 00:32:59,460
What does her family do?

479
00:33:04,130 --> 00:33:05,790
I'm not quite sure about that.

480
00:33:05,790 --> 00:33:07,650
But according to what I've heard,

481
00:33:07,790 --> 00:33:08,790
her father

482
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:10,290
should be an engineer.

483
00:33:12,610 --> 00:33:14,010
Just an ordinary family.

484
00:33:15,550 --> 00:33:17,200
A regular engineer.

485
00:33:17,820 --> 00:33:19,790
Her family background must be ordinary.

486
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:21,520
A girl like that can't help you.

487
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,400
She's not worth your time.

488
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:26,400
You should focus on your work instead.

489
00:33:32,070 --> 00:33:34,960
So your standards for a spouse are

490
00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:36,750
so pragmatic, Uncle Pei.

491
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:45,440
Zhiyu,

492
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,740
that's not what your Uncle Pei meant.

493
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,640
Let's eat now.

494
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,960
Zhiyu,

495
00:33:59,350 --> 00:34:01,550
are you sure you won't stay a bit longer?

496
00:34:01,870 --> 00:34:03,530
I still have work to deal with.

497
00:34:04,590 --> 00:34:06,120
I'll see him out, Mrs. Xiao.

498
00:34:06,510 --> 00:34:08,310
We can talk about work on the way.

499
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,400
Okay.

500
00:34:09,420 --> 00:34:10,679
Be careful on your way.

501
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:11,239
Alright.

502
00:34:24,590 --> 00:34:27,480
There's no problem
with the supplier info this time, right?

503
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,679
When will we sign the project contract?

504
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,510
That depends on Lyman's side.

505
00:34:31,510 --> 00:34:34,040
The financial audit
probably isn't done yet.

506
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,139
This is the standard procedure.

507
00:34:37,139 --> 00:34:39,139
I also want to push forward quickly,

508
00:34:39,139 --> 00:34:40,400
but I can't interfere.

509
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,000
Fine.

510
00:34:44,670 --> 00:34:46,670
Then we'll wait for news from Lyman.

511
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,690
You'd better not mention her
in front of your father.

512
00:34:57,590 --> 00:34:59,630
Who are you to make demands of me?

513
00:35:03,550 --> 00:35:04,710
In other words,

514
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,590
what are you to her?

515
00:35:16,810 --> 00:35:19,470
You heard what your father said
during the meal.

516
00:35:19,740 --> 00:35:20,970
You know what kind of person he is

517
00:35:20,970 --> 00:35:22,160
better than I do.

518
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:24,250
Pei Zhen,

519
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,550
don't let your wishful thinking

520
00:35:26,550 --> 00:35:28,070
cause Hu Xiu any harm.

521
00:35:29,890 --> 00:35:32,690
She has no obligation
to face your father with you.

522
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,780
Mr. Xiao, are you there?

523
00:36:04,790 --> 00:36:06,150
[Hu Xiu]

524
00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:12,710
Do you have anything to report to me?

525
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,070
Mr. Xiao,

526
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,070
I was reviewing those materials yesterday

527
00:36:17,070 --> 00:36:18,440
until 3 a.m.

528
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,500
Does that count as working overtime?

529
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,880
So you just got up?

530
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,880
While I was going through the materials,

531
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,210
I got some inspiration.

532
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:28,950
Would you like to hear it?

533
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,030
On our first day of dating,

534
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:33,490
are you sure
you want to bring up work with me?

535
00:36:35,150 --> 00:36:37,510
Do you have any other plans then?

536
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:39,590
Go home.

537
00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:43,560
Alright.

538
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,000
Then I'll go to Regard Café

539
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,800
to help Zhao
prepare for the collaboration event.

540
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,770
Do you have something urgent to do
at home?

541
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,480
Yes, I do have something important to do.

542
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,540
I'm going to meet someone important.

543
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:55,880
Who is it?

544
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,980
Wait, someone is knocking at my door.

545
00:37:33,100 --> 00:37:35,230
You're not washing your hair, are you?

546
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,030
It's not like I haven't seen you
with greasy hair before.

547
00:37:44,030 --> 00:37:45,240
That's different.

548
00:37:45,590 --> 00:37:46,880
Dating etiquette.

549
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,190
During the 3 months of "honeymoon" phase,

550
00:37:49,190 --> 00:37:51,790
you can't see your boyfriend
with greasy hair.

551
00:37:55,350 --> 00:37:56,620
Dating etiquette?

552
00:37:57,530 --> 00:37:59,130
You seem quite experienced.

553
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,630
Are you upset?

554
00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:14,730
Are you upset for real?

555
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,440
Head down.

556
00:38:35,250 --> 00:38:37,450
Only 3 months in the "honeymoon" phase?

557
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:39,750
Your ex wasn't that great then.

558
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,320
I'll dry my hair.

559
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:51,790
And then let's go watch a movie?

560
00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:54,280
Okay.

561
00:38:54,670 --> 00:38:55,710
What do you want to watch?

562
00:38:55,710 --> 00:38:56,710
Anything is fine.

563
00:39:01,700 --> 00:39:03,260
[Handwash]

564
00:39:04,070 --> 00:39:05,630
What did you wash your hair with?

565
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:06,550
Shampoo, of course.

566
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,760
What else would I use?

567
00:39:14,030 --> 00:39:14,670
Oh, no.

568
00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:16,030
I was so busy talking to you

569
00:39:16,030 --> 00:39:18,560
that I ended up
using hand sanitizer instead.

570
00:39:18,850 --> 00:39:20,250
My hair is ruined.

571
00:39:23,430 --> 00:39:24,690
I won't go bald, will I?

572
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,440
What now?

573
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,260
You're so violent with yourself.

574
00:39:37,230 --> 00:39:38,630
My hair feels

575
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:39,670
even worse

576
00:39:39,670 --> 00:39:40,930
than when you arrived.

577
00:39:43,140 --> 00:39:43,660
Come on.

578
00:39:48,590 --> 00:39:49,790
It's all falling out.

579
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,820
Smells so good.

580
00:39:55,410 --> 00:39:57,610
Isn't this the coconut oil Zhao gave me?

581
00:39:59,710 --> 00:40:02,370
It's now the best
for emergency hair treatment.

582
00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:03,920
This can work?

583
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,510
Yes.

584
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,880
The only downside is

585
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,510
that you might get coconut flakes
falling from your hair later.

586
00:40:10,510 --> 00:40:11,570
Coconut flakes...

587
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:13,980
What a cringy joke.

588
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,880
You're quite professional.

589
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,240
Are you implying
I have a lot of experience as well?

590
00:40:56,150 --> 00:40:57,000
I used to do

591
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,890
a part-time job at a hair salon abroad.

592
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,150
So, were you called

593
00:41:03,380 --> 00:41:04,610
Tony Xiao back then?

594
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:07,450
Not that common name.

595
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:10,820
I was called Kevin.

596
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:11,670
Kevin?

597
00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:15,060
Sounds like a chief hair stylist.
