Original subtitles

Well,

because of the sunlight,

we've had to sacrifice

some green space for the entire project.

You see,

what you've just mentioned...

Turn off the air conditioner.

Sure.

So,

we can

keep moving forward

with this, right?

Of course.

Then,

let's talk about another proposal.

I mean,

we are

doing excellent.

If there are no further issues,

the meeting is over, alright?

Let's break up.

Thank you.

Alright.

Miss Xu.

Miss Xu,

Mr. Shen,

I'm sorry

for keeping you waiting.

Let's grab a lunch

and discuss further over a meal.

Miss Xu?

Miss,

please be gentle.

The family should watch over the patient.

Let me know if anything happens.

Got it.

Thank you.

You woke up.

Come on.

You had a fever at my company

and fainted.

I brought you here.

Thank you, Mr. Shen.

You are welcome.

I didn't pay enough attention.

I thought some pills would get me through it.

The doctor said

you overworked yourself.

You have to take some rest.

Excuse me,

Mr. Shen.

You can go back to work.

I can take care of myself.

Thank you.

I asked you to come,

so I will see this through.

Once you get better,

we will have the interview.

Oh,

the doctor said

you should drink plenty of water.

Here.

Thank you.

After the nurse removed the IV,

I was worried that you might bleed again,

so I put a band-aid on it.

Haoming is back.

Play with it over there.

Mom,

let me officially introduce.

This is Xu Yan,

my girlfriend.

Hello, Mrs. Yu.

I'm Xu Yan.

This is Mrs. Ma.

This is Mrs. Meng.

Nice to meet you,

Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Meng.

Haoming is always mentioning you.

It's nice to finally see you.

Welcome.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

Haoming,

your father is waiting for you in the study.

He said he needs to take to you.

Okay.

Take care of Yan for me.

Alright. Don't worry.

Have some water.

Mrs. Yu, it's okay.

I will top it off.

Thank you.

Same for you.

Bu is so smart.

No wonder he won the champion

in the Fédération Cynologique Internationale dog show.

I'm so sorry.

I'm late.

I took Pudding for grooming just now.

Alright.

Let it play.

This is...

Let me introduce.

This is Xu Yan.

She is Haoming's friend.

Hello, Xu.

I'm Sun Meiling,

a friend of Lan.

Hello, Ms. Sun.

I'm Xu Yan.

Ms. Sun,

take a seat.

Thank you, Xu.

Xu,

do you like dogs?

I do. I like dogs very much.

Do you have a dog?

I am too busy with my work,

so I don't have time for a dog yet.

I'm afraid of not taking good care of them.

It's calling you.

Come here,

Bu.

Pudding

is a silly.

It has nothing

except the pretty face.

It's alright.

It's smart.

Pudding is amazing.

Come here.

Do you want to go as well?

Hui,

bring some fruit and a fresh pot of tea.

I can do it.

Alright.

Thank you.

Mrs. Yu, I will walk her out.

Sure.

Let me make you a pigtail.

Miss Xu,

I feel like

you are different

from the ladies who come and go

around here.

How so?

Your hair is a bit dry and frizzy.

Lan and her friends

take great care of their hair.

I'm just too busy with work

to find the time.

They

often get

this hair treatment,

and after that,

their hair shine like satin.

It's very popular.

Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Sun

do that a lot too.

You should try it.

Hui.

Lan.

Is the tea ready?

Yes.

Leave it to them.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Xu,

stay here for dinner.

Sure.

I ordered some dishes from the clubhouse.

When they are ready,

you can go get them.

Turn right after the door,

and you will find it.

If it is from the clubhouse,

perhaps you can have them delivered?

I don't really like

strangers coming to my house.

No problem.

I will go get them now.

Xu,

many people are here today.

I can't chat with you properly.

Later,

after you bring the dishes here,

you can leave them to the housekeeper.

You should head home first.

I will let Haoming know.

Sure.

Are you free Saturday morning?

Yes.

Great.

I will let you know the address.

We will have a chat.

Come in.

Sir,

this is the proposal for the next episode.

I will leave it here.

Xu,

take a seat.

Come on.

Xu,

during your interview,

I saw your potential right away.

Since you joined,

I've invested a lot in you.

I have a high expectation for you.

Here.

I know, sir.

That's why

I've been grateful to you.

Don't mention it.

Xu,

this cooking show

has been popular in recent years.

The reason I let you

plan this show, Family Feast,

is to polish your resume,

so that you can

become a host later.

I mean,

your appearance is great.

You are smart

and hard-working.

But sometimes,

things just don't go as planned.

Your host application

was rejected.

Why?

Why what?

I remember

last time, you told me...

Xu,

take a seat.

Take a seat first.

Mr. Zhou,

when I came here,

I applied for the host position.

Right.

Am I right?

Yes.

You said I lacked experience

and needed more time.

That was why I became a planner,

for three years.

You are right.

When I started working on Family Feast,

they were the only two words

in the proposal.

I created this project,

and invited the guests.

Interviews,

shooting, post-production,

subtitles...

I checked

everything personally.

I knew

making a good show is not talking the talk,

so I learned cooking at my own expense.

I used my salary

to get better ingredients

for the show.

Family Feast has been on for three years

with my countless overtime

and late nights.

So I want to know

why.

Xu,

I understand

how upset you are.

You work hard and contribute a lot.

I know.

But the superiors have their own considerations.

Don't dwell on it.

I'm not dwelling on it.

I want to know my shortcoming

so that I can make up for it.

I will be honest.

The production center

is promoting the integration of and transformation with media.

The number of personnel and budget for production

for each departments

are reduced substantially.

At this point,

the adjustment of host

needs to take a lot of things into account.

I tried to help you.

If Sun Siwei cannot make it

for some reason,

you will get the chance.

Mr. Zhou, are my three years

worth only

a temporary position that can be replaced anytime?

Don't say that,

Xu.

I know you are upset,

but Sun Siwei is doing well, too.

The decision has been made.

She will continue to be the host.

It's not my own decision.

When time is ready,

you can be back on the starting line

and it will be fine.

You have to be on the starting line all the time

to get the chance to start.

Xu.

Hello, Mrs. Yu.

I've sent you the time and address

for the dinner.

Okay.

Miss,

this is the hair treatment

you are looking for,

but there is no discount.

What do you think?

No problem.

Please wait a second.

I will get everything ready.

The lady over there

wants a full treatment.

We need to be prepared.

Go get the materials.

Hello, Miss.

Mrs. Yu.

Take a seat.

Make yourself comfortable.

Take a look.

What would you like?

No hurry.

I'm still waiting for a friend.

Sure.

We can order together

after your friend arrives.

Mrs. Yu.

Jiaqi, over here.

Mrs. Yu,

it's been a really long time.

That's true.

You are still looking gorgeous.

Let me introduce.

This is Lin Jiaqi.

She works in an investment bank.

This is Xu Yan,

Haoming's friend.

Hello.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Jiaqi,

I heard that you were doing well

in the investment bank on Wall Street.

Why are you suddenly back?

That was my father's wish.

I had done that for so many years.

It should be enough to keep him happy.

And recently, I got

an offer from Hong Kong, China.

It was a good offer,

so I came back.

The development in China is very well, too.

By the way,

thank you for choosing the partner

for our Dewei's project.

It's not worth mentioning.

Mr. Shen and you

literally watched me growing up.

What are you busy with lately?

I just came back.

I'm taking a break.

Xu Yan,

Yutong is one of the best young lawyers,

focusing on cross-border acquisitions, investment and financing

She is now

working for the law firm of her family,

in charge of the international cases.

Hi.

Yutong,

I saw your mother a few days ago.

She said you just completed

a transnational acquisition.

It was very well done.

Then I should brand myself.

Mrs. Yu,

if you have any transnational operation,

let me know if I can be of any help.

Of course.

I don't trust anyone else.

Miss Xu,

what do you think of these girls?

They are great.

They are pretty and talented.

You are right,

and they are the girls

suitable for Haoming.

I don't like to beat around the bush

and waste each other's time.

You have a good appearance

and educational background.

A pretty good job, too.

Yet,

your family background is a different story.

We spent quite some time

together last time,

but you couldn't fit in at all.

Yet you didn't have a single complaint.

Even if I asked you to get the food,

you didn't have a temper.

You were not treated fairly,

but you kept your smile,

like right now,

you are still keeping it together.

Miss Xu,

the problem is you are

too good at putting up with stuff.

You saw it yourself.

These girls are relaxed

They don't stress out.

about things.

That's what Haoming needs,

and what you lack.

You should find someone

who has the same pace with you.

Qiao Yan.

A wild child with no parent.

A wild child with no parent.

A wild child with no parent.

A wild child with no parent.

No, I'm not!

The wild child is hitting people.

The wild child is hitting people.

I'm not a wild child.

I have parents.

They are in another country,

somewhere far away.

Qiao Yan is a liar.

Qiao Yan is a liar.

Break up with Haoming now,

or you will embarrass yourself.

Xuecheng University

is where my parents

work abroad.

They've taught me since a young age

that no matter in what situation,

Decency and manners

are the basics of politeness.

I didn't expect

that you see them

as timidity and silent endurance.

I rely on myself

to work my way up here,

and I don't mention my parents a lot.

Yet in your eyes,

I didn't come from a good family.

I'm afraid you are wrong.

I know

that you don't like me.

I understand that.

But I love Haoming,

and I won't leave him.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

I just feel like

they are somehow weird.

Why?

I can't tell.

I think it's fine.

Look.

They are all well-educated.

If we become in-laws,

it will help the company's image

and more in the future.

Don't overthink it.

I believe

our son can choose wisely.

Stop thinking about it.

Perhaps it's my problem.

Good morning.

Good morning, Mr. Shen.

Where is Qu?

I haven't had time to tell you.

Mr. Qu is not feeling well today.

He can't make it.

Alright.

Then we will start without him.

About this commercial complex project

of the new district,

my plan

is to collaborate with Shifeng Group,

one of our suppliers.

They also

express their initial intent

of cooperation to me.

Shifeng

is the largest company of the industry

with the biggest amount of funds.

If we can

work with them,

we will

get this project.

It seems like we have a high chance.

That's right.

Haoming.

Father.

You didn't say anything in the meeting.

Why?

I'm not optimistic about the new chairperson

of Shifeng Group, Mr. Zheng.

Why?

First of all,

when there was an accident

at the construction site of Shifeng's settlement houses,

he decided

to hide as much as possible

and suppress the public discussion.

He didn't take up the responsibility.

Second,

he popped up in the company out of nowhere,

which means he has no direct,

reliable support within the company.

Third,

about the three henchmen he brought with him,

one is excellent in networking,

but arrogant

and has a lot of enemies.

Another one

is a senior with a lot of experience,

but he was playing mahjong in his private box

when the accident happened.

The last one

with the lowest rank

is the most capable one.

He did a lot,

but he never got a fair share of their gains.

I'm impressed.

You know them

very well.

Father,

I think there will definitely be

some chaos within their company.

If there are

so many problems

with Zheng, as you said,

how did he become

the chairperson?

That's the bigger risk.

Haoming,

if you didn't start

from the very bottom

of the construction industry,

and you hadn't

fought

for over decades in it,

you wouldn't have known a thing.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Also,

I would like to bid

the No. 178 lot

of the new district.

This big company

will be

handed to you sooner or later.

Right now,

the best thing you can do is to be safe

and don't make any mistake.

You got it?

Yes.

A unique taste in every meal, an unforgettable moment every time.

This is the end of this episode

of Family Feast.

Thank you for watching.

Copied.

See you

next time. Bye.

Cut.

Thank you, Siwei.

The rundown is so unreasonable.

The recording took such a long time.

Thank you so much, Mr. Sanmu.

It's too late today.

It's a lot for you, too.

Xu Yan,

to be honest,

other than my relation

with Haoming, I am here this time

mainly because of

your sincerity.

I went on a business trip in the United States,

but your messages never stopped.

And whenever I sent a message,

you replied immediately.

I'm curious.

Do you ever sleep?

I'm so sorry. I must be bothering you.

This is the nature of this job.

I have to stand by 24/7.

So, if you have

any question in the future,

you can ask me anytime.

No problem.

I have confidence in you.

Next time, we should have a dinner

together with Haoming.

Sure.

Thank you so much today.

You should get some rest.

Here you go.

Alright.

Show Mr. Sanmu to the guest room

to get changed.

Yan,

The technical director said

we need a few more close-ups

for the dishes we had.

No problem.

Hello, Mrs. Yu.

Now?

I'm still...

No problem.

You can send me the address.

Alright.

Thank you.

I will be there in a minute, Mrs. Yu.

Alright.

That is

the Tongzhou Canal.

And then

the CBD is right next to it.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Yu.

I'm late because of the traffic jam.

I've been waiting for you.

Ms. Meng finally

got the time

to check out these houses with us,

yet you kept her waiting for so long.

Ms. Meng,

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Let's hurry up and go have a look.

I have an appointment in the afternoon.

Sure.

This entire estate

covers

35,000 square meters

and has eight buildings,

including six houses

and two high-rises.

The unit sizes range

from 199

to 143 square meters.

Lan,

who are you

buying this property for?

My son.

He is getting married.

Really?

Congratulations, Lan!

Mr. Shen Junior is getting married already?

I wonder who is

the lucky girl.

Oh. I should have known!

Hello, Ma'am.

I'm Lisa.

If you have any need,

just let me know.

I will make sure you are satisfied.

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

You're welcome.

Lisa,

which are the units you have for me?

The ones I have for you

are the best of the entire estate.

They are unit 606,

706,

and 808 of Building 6.

These three units

are absolutely the finest

and biggest unites

in the estate.

I've reserved them all for you.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, what do you think?

They are great.

Mrs. Yu,

shall we ask Haoming's opinion?

Miss Xu,

Lan is surely the one making the final decision

in terms of things like buying a new home for wedding.

Young people like you

don't have a real grasp of properties.

Even the easy ones

like orientation

and floor,

you don't know much about them.

In a few years, you will have kids, right?

Then you need to think about

the layout of the house

and the style of the interior.

This isn't a joke.

If you buy the wrong house,

it will have a huge impact

no your married life.

Thank you, Ms. Meng.

Mrs. Yu definitely

has the final decision on the house.

What I meant

was whether we should

ask Haoming to come take a look, too.

No.

He is busy.

We can make the decision for him.

Aright.

I understand.

Miss Xu, you probably don't have much experience

in buying houses,

but it's okay.

I'm here,

and I will choose the best one

for you.

Thank you.

But don't say that.

We are old.

We don't know

what the young people are thinking.

Xu Yan's father

studies architecture.

She grew up around it.

That's perfect.

You can see from the professional perspective

and choose the best one

among them.

Mother.

Haoming,

why are you here?

Did you tell him?

No, Mrs. Yu.

I didn't.

It wasn't her.

I asked the driver where he was,

and he told me the location.

I knew you are going to buy a house for me.

I forgot to tell you.

I've picked out the place.

When?

I didn't know that.

It's been a while.

I didn't even tell Yan.

I wanted to surprise you.

Well...

But this is also very nice.

If there's nothing else,

I'm off on a date

with my girlfriend.

Bye.

Bye, Ms. Meng.

Alright.

I spent a lot of time to find this place.

Lisa,

I'm sorry.

Alright.

Take your time.

Bye.

See you next time, Mrs. Yu.

Thank you.

Bye, Ms. Meng.

I kept forgetting to ask you.

Why do you

like agave so much?

Agave only flowers once in their lifetime.

After decades of growing,

they use everything they have

to have that flower.

I really admire

how tough they are

and

the accumulation

of energy

and the once-in-a-lifetime burst.

It's a species that has existed

for hundreds of millions of years.

This kind of vitality

is unmatched by other plants.

Yan,

try this.

The burrito I made

is ready.

It comes from the same place

as the agave.

Is it good?

You are a good cook.

This is for you.

Why are you

giving me a gift for no reason?

It must be hard for you to be with my mom lately.

I will tell her

not to take up

too much of your time.

She always

schedules with me in advance.

It's not holding me up for anything.

Don't worry.

Your schedule is full of things

with my mom,

but you never

complained to me once.

What's this?

Your reward for being a good student.

Yan,

you are so kind

that I'm going to buy you

all the nice things I see.

I heard you are competing

for the host of Family Feast. Is that true?

How did you know that?

I also know

the current host

is an impertinent person

who loves telling everything to her mom.

Don't worry.

I can

solve all these for you.

Thank you for trying to help,

but that's not what I need.

She has the support of her family,

so do you.

Haoming,

you are the most wonderful man

in the world.

Thank you for loving me.

But about my work,

you have to trust me.

I can handle it.

Sure.

I trust you.

Dig in. It's getting cold.

One more.

One more.

Alright. Come here.

Let me show you.

Here.

Every time Haoming sincerely shows me his love,

and every time he catches me when I fall,

feels like I'm being questioned again and again.

Do you deserve a love as pure as this?
