Run!

Nice.

Awesome.

Way to go, Sandy.

Slacking off again.

Give it here.

Great job.

Amazing.

Look how good they are.

You're so clever.

Do it again.

Slacking off again. You can't eat that.

Not this time.

Ms. Yu.

You're always slacking off.

Come here.

Ms. Yu,

I bought you

the scarf of the latest style.

Hope you like it.

Miss Xu,

maybe next time I can...

Miss Xu, what did you get?

Let me see.

A cashmere scarf.

Miss Xu,

you've got it wrong.

Your future mother-in-law usually prefers

solid colors.

She doesn't like prints.

Mr. Ma,

if she never pays attention,

how would she know?

Then she should pay attention to it.

Otherwise, she'll embarrass herself later.

Miss Xu,

there's a lot to know

about cashmere scarves.

A higher yarn count makes it softer to wear.

She would never

wear the one you picked.

Bu.

Over here.

Sweetie.

Bu.

Come here.

Thanks.

Amy, come on.

Xu.

But the scarf Xu gave

is also

100% Italian cashmere.

It's quite nice.

Back then,

when I was studying,

I didn't focus on my books.

I was always running off to travel.

When I was short on cash,

I even traded cashmere scarves

for money.

That's why it's called soft gold.

I have

too many of this color.

You have fair skin.

It suits you. Keep it for yourself.

Xu, I'm gonna head over there.

Bu, here.

Great job.

Come here.

Bu.

Bu.

Lan,

I think this girl

has poor taste in every way.

You should think it over.

Don't rush to set a wedding date.

Claire.

Come here.

All picked out.

Miss Xu,

you're so nice,

not pretentious at all.

And you came grocery shopping with me.

Because both Haochen

and Haoming love

your cooking so much.

You can cook everything,

Chinese,

Western and so on.

Hui,

you have to teach me sometime.

I've been doing it a long time.

Picked up some experience.

Miss Xu,

grab me a box of lychees.

Okay.

Is it okay?

Yeah, that's fine.

I'll put it down then.

Thank you.

No problem.

Here.

Hui,

I just realized you have another great quality.

You don't just take good care

of Ms. Yu's family.

You're incredibly thoughtful

with her friends too.

It's hard to find someone like you.

Miss Xu,

people like Mr. Meng

aren't as easy to get along with as you are.

They're very shrewd.

Lan spends

all her time with them.

If they say anything bad about me,

I could lose my job.

But Ms. Yu seems like

a very strong-minded person to me.

Would she really listen to them?

Miss Xu,

I'm only telling you this because I think

you're a good person.

Before,

someone else tried to

set Haoming up with a girlfriend

But that girl

just didn't win

the ladies' favor.

They all started talking,

adding their comments,

and eventually managed to convince Lan.

Lan

ended up rejecting the girl.

So those ladies

really have quite a say.

Tell me about it.

If they don't like someone,

that person won't even get into Lan's circle.

Let alone

become her daughter-in-law.

Hui,

wait for me a second.

Are two boxes enough?

This is the perfect season

for cherries.

I remember you told me

you love cherries.

I'll get them for you.

Let's go.

But... But these two boxes cost hundreds.

This is too much.

It's fine. Take them home for the kids.

Thank you then.

I forgot to buy shrimp.

Let's go look at the shrimp.

Okay.

I know

Yu Lan and the others

haven't truly accepted me yet.

To marry Haoming,

I need to fully integrate into this family

and their social circle.

The only thing I can rely on

is to take the initiative.

Great shot.

Let's take a break.

It feels so good to sweat a bit.

Though it is a bit hot today,

isn't it?

Sir,

let's take it easy today.

Yes.

Come on, wipe your sweat.

Hurry up.

Seriously.

So hot.

Lan, you still got it.

Of course.

All that daily yoga practice isn't for nothing.

Did you invite her?

Yes.

She's free today,

so I thought I'd bring her along to hang out.

So we can get to know each other better.

I just didn't realize

she doesn't know how to play tennis.

Have you met her parents?

Yes.

They're both intellectuals.

They've been abroad for many years.

Her father

is a professor at Xuecheng University.

No wonder she's so proper.

She

seems like a thoughtful girl.

Of course you need to be thoughtful

to get into Lan's family.

This girl

keeps a low profile,

but she's really strategic.

Miss Xu,

you don't need to do that.

The coach

will pick them up later.

It's faster if I do it.

So you won't even have to wait.

Miss Xu,

you really don't have to try this hard.

I think you're just fine.

Try to relax a little.

You don't need to be so tense all the time.

Sometimes, trying too hard

can backfire.

Thank you, Meiling.

Lan.

Meng, Ma.

What a coincidence.

You're here too.

Meng,

you look even slimmer

than the last time I saw you.

Oh, stop.

Really.

You've lost a lot of weight.

I've been accompanying my husband

to several

appreciation receptions lately.

Been up late for days.

Actually gained a few pounds.

Really?

Can't tell at all.

- Exactly. - Right?

- Can't tell. - Not noticeable.

Everyone knows

you're the social expert

by your husband's side.

If it weren't for the ladies' gatherings you organize,

he never would have met Zheng

and secured Shifeng's biggest project.

That's just

part of my job.

But you?

You've got an amazing husband and son.

I'm just stuck with the stress, I guess.

Lately, it's been the same for me.

Let me tell you, I've been

hitting the gym every single day.

My husband

is doing business with the boss

of Boyue Group.

The boss's wife

is a fashion designer.

To get closer

to her,

I have to squeeze myself

into the clothes she designs.

You're working so hard to help your husband.

Your year-end bonus better increase this year.

Lan, what are you talking about?

Let me tell you,

a wife who's good at socializing

can boost her husband's business by a lot.

Unlike those bachelors

who pour all their energy into work.

They might be capable,

but without a wife's support,

it's like trying to walk with one leg.

They won't get far.

You know that last gathering?

Ms. Qu is here.

Ms. Qu is here.

Ms. Qu, you're finally here.

We were waiting for you. You're finally here.

We didn't dare start without you.

You should have started without me.

Have a seat.

Ms. Qu,

your skin looks so much better

than the last time I saw you.

Really.

Your complexion is better too.

By the way, Ms. Qu,

I heard your husband

has taken on several major projects.

He just can't sit still.

I told him

you can't earn all the money in the world.

Ms. Qu,

maybe you could ask your husband

to give mine some opportunities.

Let's go.

We should play first.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Sir, I need a break.

Give it here. I'm done.

Thank you, Xu.

No problem.

Have some water.

Thank you.

And that is...?

She's a director at Lanshan Capital,

also Mr. Xiao's wife.

Lanshan Capital

is incredibly hot right now.

Everyone's trying to get resources

for their husbands through her.

Impressive.

The center of attention.

Thinks she's above everyone.

I asked a friend

to arrange a meeting with her recently.

She's so stuck-up.

She wouldn't come.

Let's go.

Two, two, three, four.

One.

Two.

Three.

Not bad.

You're doing very well today.

Today, we'll try

a new Long Sleeve Flourish.

Alright.

Watch my demonstration.

See that?

Two flourishes.

One up high.

One down low.

The two combine to form one flourish.

Like this. One up high,

and one down low.

Yes, try it.

One up high, and one down low.

It's just...

Still...

That's too big.

Watch me.

Like this.

A friend told me

Ms. Qu

doesn't have many other hobbies.

She's single-mindedly passionate about Kunqu opera.

She's even spending her own money

to organize some kind of

Kunqu Opera Amateur Competition.

One up high, and one down low.

No.

It's okay. Take your time.

Let me.

This is harder than I thought.

It is a bit challenging.

Here, look.

One. Two.

One. Two. Yes.

Since

this is our first lesson,

we'll

start by practicing

the basics.

This opera... Ma'am,

sorry to interrupt,

but can you just teach me directly?

The Long Sleeve...

Long Sleeve Flourish.

Haste makes waste.

As a complete beginner,

I recommend we start

with the basics.

Then how long

would it take to learn

if I practiced without taking breaks?

At the very least, a month.

So we should still

start with the basics.

The Long Sleeve Flourish

can wait.

No.

I only want to practice the Long Sleeve Flourish.

For the long sleeves, make sure

not to use force

from the upper arm.

Use the strength from your wrist and forearm.

When switching sides...

Yes.

One flourish up, and one flourish down.

One flourish up, and one flourish down.

Yes.

Keep them both flat.

Don't use too much force

in the upper arm during this process.

Both hands too.

See, the hands and upper arms are barely moving.

It's all driven by the forearms and wrists.

Then turn.

Up, down. Up, down.

You try it.

Use your forearm and wrist to lead.

Flick it like this.

Yes, go.

Up. Down.

Yan,

all departments are just about ready.

Okay.

Let's run through the script once more,

then we can start recording.

Yan,

what are you doing?

Tenosynovitis.

Happens when you type too much.

Alright, come on.

Let's get ready.

Go get ready.

Go.

Okay, let's begin.

We're ready to start.

You practiced very well today.

Go home and rest.

That's all for today's lesson.

Ma'am,

can I stay

and practice a bit more?

Sure.

There are no lessons after this.

Go ahead.

Thanks.

Can't you just take a break for once?

It's not the same.

Kunqu opera is all about posture

and technique.

It does require a lot of practice.

By the way,

your follow-up hospital report

came in.

Your cholesterol is still on the high side.

So I bought you some fish oil.

Take it three times a day.

Just half an hour before meals.

Remember

to take it daily.

Okay.

Just ship it to me.

I've already

sent everything over.

Remember to check for the package.

Alright.

How is

your Kunqu opera practice going?

What did the teacher

say about your progress?

The teacher said

I'm learning very quickly.

I have to thank you

for telling me when I was young

to learn more skills.

You can never have too many.

So the teacher praised me.

See?

Just listen to me more often.

I will.

Let me ask you,

do you have time to come back and visit me?

After

I get through this busy period.

Once things settle down,

I'll come back to see you.

I even bought you a set of

Kunqu opera costumes.

When I'm back, I'll teach you.

We can practice together.

Alright, you get back to work.

I'm going to bed.

Okay, go get some rest.

It's already late.

Get some sleep. Good night.

Mind your waist.

Side bend.

Watch your hands.

Pose.

Finish with the waist.

Yes.

That's right.

Good.

Very good.

That's all for today's lesson.

Go back and get some rest.

Ma'am...

I know.

You want to practice a bit more.

Sure.

Bye.

Thank you.

Ma'am,

is that girl new?

Haven't seen her before.

Yes, she just started.

Quite clever.

Look at her progress after just a few days.

Hello.

Hello.

I was watching your Long Sleeve Flourish.

Very good.

Thank you.

The teacher said

you just started learning.

I liked it since I was a child.

I just thought it was beautiful back then.

It's only now that I'm older

that I've come to appreciate its depth,

so I decided to study it properly.

How rare.

To like Kunqu opera at such a young age.

I've liked it since childhood too.

We're holding

a Kunqu Opera Amateur Competition.

I'm the organizer.

Wouldn't it

be embarrassing

if the organizer

couldn't even perform a piece?

So I'm cramming for it.

Let me introduce myself.

My name is Qu Li.

Hello, Li.

I'm Xu Yan.

You're so talented.

You should come and join

the amateur competition.

No problem.

Wonderful.

The teacher's finished for the day.

Why don't we practice together?

You can help me get the feel for it.

That's great.

I was just about to take a break.

Let me take a look.

I just can't seem to get these long sleeves

to flow right.

Can you see what I'm doing wrong?

Yes, look.

I can't make them look like yours.

Try

creating a bit more distance between the sleeves

and your body.

Like this, toss them out a little.

Toss them out.

Yes.

Toss them out, then pull them back.

Yes.

There you go.

Maintain some space

between your hands and your body.

Yes.

Like this.

That way you can get them to swing.

Right.

Yes.

You really know how to pinpoint the key issue.

There you go.

I need to take this call.

Okay.

Zhao.

Yes.

That's right.

Laiyin International School.

Yes.

It's for Hao.

They

really don't have a single spot left?

Alright.

You must have some foundation.

Looking at your posture,

you must have studied dance.

I never studied dance.

Actually, I'm a host.

You're a host?

What do you host?

Family Feast.

Have you seen it?

I think

I have seen your show.

Is it the one with celebrities

cooking together?

That's the one.

But now,

the program planning proposal has changed.

We plan to invite influential women

from various fields

to participate.

Sorry.

I have other things to do.

I have to go.

Qu Li

is really coming?

Of course.

That's why I came to invite you

to be on Family Feast.

Xu,

if Ms. Qu is coming, then I'll definitely be there.

Meiling,

I have a draft list of potential guests.

See if there's anyone you know.

It will

make for a better atmosphere on set

if there are familiar faces.

Xu,

good thing you asked me.

You know,

many of them

don't get along.

Let me tell you in detail.

You need to change the guests.

Yes.

Here's the new proposal.

Xiao Nanpeng's wife,

the global executive partner

of Lanshan Capital.

I've already invited her

for our next episode.

What about the other guests?

I've already secured Ms. Qu.

I think

securing other female representatives from different industries

shouldn't be a problem.

Mr. Zhou,

our show

has been running for three years now.

Currently,

celebrities are losing interest

in our format.

We also urgently need to boost audience engagement.

Besides keeping celebrity guests,

we could also invite

influential figures

from various industries.

This could create new chemistry.

If the show is compelling enough,

people who see it

should be willing to join.

That's a great idea.

I support it.

But I have one condition.

Please resubmit my application

to transition

to a hosting role.

I'll give you this chance.

Go ahead and make it happen.

Thank you.

Li.

I know

you have no interest

in being on a show.

Then why are you here?

What if it's a show

tailored for you?

The board member from Laiyin International School

will also be there.

You've been investigating me?

Just trying to help you.

I can meet them

without your help.

With your capabilities,

of course you could meet these people.

But making connections quickly

isn't that simple.

If you naturally

become friends

through a show,

it's nothing but beneficial.

Right?

Unfortunately,

I don't know how to cook.

Wouldn't it be better

as the organizer

of the Kunqu Opera Competition?

You appear on this episode of Family Feast.

I'll specially design a segment for you

to show Kunqu opera.

Participating in this episode

will promote

the Kunqu Opera Competition

and help you connect

with like-minded friends.

More importantly,

once the show airs,

many, many more people

will experience the charm of Kunqu Opera.

You've loved

the Kunqu opera for most of your life.

This must be something you want to do.

Also,

I can host

the Kunqu Opera Amateur Competition

for you free of charge.

But I don't know

if I'll have the honor.

Li, thank you so much

for giving us such a

wonderful opening

with Kunqu Opera,

a traditional Chinese art form.

First, let's introduce

today's guests.

The renowned actress,

Ms. Xue Yuqing.

Hello, everyone.

I'm actress Xue Yuqing.

Welcome.

National first-class public nutritionist,

Ms. He Jingshu.

Hello, everyone.

Laiyin International School board member,

Ms. An Yaqin.

And young female entrepreneur representative,

Ms. Sun Meiling.

Welcome, everyone.

By the way,

Ms. Xue,

I heard your new drama

is a huge hit right now.

You play

a very resilient

female imperial chef, right?

So, what was

the most memorable dish

for you during filming?

Qianlong cabbage,

braised pork belly with cherries,

braised deer tendon, things like that.

When you actually participate

in the making process,

you realize

the craftsmanship,

the precision,

and how everything comes together

to create a dish

that's truly perfect

in color, aroma, taste, concept, and form.

Well said.

Li,

your husband is known

in the industry as the "Iron Man of Business".

He often works around the clock.

It must take a lot of effort

to care for a partner like that.

So I'm curious,

what's a dish you frequently make

at home?

Xiao's work is indeed very busy.

When it comes to meals,

we generally keep things quick and simple.

If we're talking frequent,

it's usually staple foods.

Often paired with some light congee and side dishes.

He really loves

the qianlong cabbage

we mentioned earlier.

Also qianlong cabbage.

How about we have

a little competition right here?

Let's have both Li and Ms. Xue

make qianlong cabbage.

We'll see whose version is more authentic.

Meiling,

I've heard your cooking

is exceptional.

My husband especially loves

my cooking.

So

I cook for him at home every day.

Let me help divide everyone into teams.

Meiling,

you'll be with Li

and Ms. An.

I'll be with Ms. He

and Ms. Xue.

Is that okay?

Perfect.

Then let's move

to the kitchen.

Many of my friends are

at Laiyin School.

They all say the school ethos is excellent.

This is the most finely shredded cabbage

I've ever seen.

I learned how to do this while filming.

Can I help you with anything?

Not needed just yet.

You can observe the battle first.

Add some honey now?

Yes.

The honey is the key.

No wonder.

I never added it before.

So the taste was always off.

Let's see how things are going with them.

My qianlong cabbage

never had the right flavor.

What's going on?

Did someone come to steal

our secret ingredient.

Yuqing,

Ms. He,

they're secretly adding honey.

It's fine.

We have our own secret sauce.

Can't copy us.

This is Li's secret recipe.

Looks quite photogenic.

Meiling,

your husband is setting up

that hot spring club in Wenzhou.

He's been wanting to talk to Xiao about investment.

Now that you've helped him

connect with Qu Li,

you've taken the top credit.

Looks like

you got your year-end bonus early.

Oh, this?

Just a small reward.

The year-end bonus

should be something much bigger.

Stop looking.

Let's chat for a bit.

Look at me,

I'm not photogenic. I look chubby.

It's fine.

You look good.

If you say it's fine, then it must be fine.

Miss Xu,

your show is quite interesting.

Thank you, Ms. Ma.

For the next episode of Family Feast,

Ms. Qu will still be attending.

Ms. Ma, Ms. Meng, I was wondering

if you might have the time.

Ms. Yu said

she saved spots for you.

Lan,

you're so good to us.

Thanks.

Of course.

When something good like this comes up,

I think of my friends first.

So when is

the next episode?

Monday.

Monday?

That's just a few days away.

I need to go

get my hair done first.

I need to go get a facial.

And a manicure.

I see.

Alright, Lan.

Thank you.

I'll leave now.

Bye.

See you Monday, Ms. Meng.

Bye.

See you Monday, Ms. Ma.

Thank you. See you Monday.

Xu,

so, am I still gonna

be on the next episode?

Of course.

Ms. Yu said

you look really good on TV.

Then I really need to go

tidy myself up.

I gotta go now.

I need to

call my tailor now

for an appointment.

My clothes are all embroidered.

Very nice.

I'll introduce you next time.

I'm off, Xu. Thank you.

Yan.

Ms. Yu.

Running a show is not easy.

How could you so casually

attribute those favors to me?

The caliber of the guests

determines the caliber and value

of the show.

I'm just a host and planner

in front of the camera.

My influence is limited.

But you're different.

I believe that only with you by my side,

offering guidance and paving the road,

can I create shows with a better reputation

and higher quality.

Have a seat.

Many people know how to get things done.

But few have real vision.

I still have much to learn from you.

You're a quick learner.

Ms. Yu,

be careful, it's hot.

If you want to seize every chance to turn things around,

never pin your hopes

on others.

It's simply

about trading what you have

for what you want.

Xu,

this episode's ratings were really good.

High praise and high viewership.

Impressive.

Keep it up.

Sir,

then you shouldn't

consider Sun Siwei anymore.

I sent her out for an outdoor shoot.

You know how she is with her temper.

She can complain all she wants,

but she can't argue with the show's quality.

So she has nothing to say.

Thanks for your support.

Your ideas are good.

Of course I'll support them.

Xu,

what was it

you wanted to talk to me about?

It's about the program sponsorship fee.

This company

has been pursuing me to sign the contract.

The sponsorship fee

is twelve percent higher than before.

If you think it's acceptable,

we can proceed.

Why are you the one discussing

the sponsorship fee with me?

Mr. Liu,

it's my responsibility now.

This is the guest list

for the latest episode of Family Feast.

Please take a look.

You're sure you can get

all these people?

We can write it into the contract.

However, the latest sponsorship fee

will increase by twelve percent.

Xu,

I knew you wouldn't

let me down.

Sign it.

Yan,

did you see the look

on Mr. Zhou's face just now

when he saw the latest weekly report?

He was beaming.

Our show has turned things around.

Our phones are blowing up with calls from celebrities.

They're extremely proactive.

We've even secured the top-tier actresses

for our next episode.

Thank you.

Yan,

what are you doing?

I can't take this money.

Isn't your dad in the hospital?

The surgery will cost money.

Don't stand on ceremony with me.

I'm already very grateful

that you introduced Mr. Lu to me.

If it weren't for you,

I'd never have gotten to know

such a famous dean.

Huan,

resources are meant to be used.

And you need to know,

the most important thing now is the surgery.

Best wishes for a smooth surgery.

You've been running around between two places lately.

It must be really tough.

Eat well today to build up your strength.

What do you feel like eating?

My treat.

What do you want to eat?

The usual three.

Alright.

Yan, congratulations

on becoming the host of Family Feast.

We've all seen

how much hard work

you've put into this show.

Thank you, Liao.

By the way,

come join us for the dinner gathering tonight.

You're too kind.

Siwei,

why are you here so early?

What do you mean by that?

Siwei always comes

for makeup at this time.

No.

Your outdoor shoot

is scheduled for 6 PM.

It's after Family Feast.

And it's only 3 PM now.

Don't we usually

come two hours early for the final makeup check?

The show is the show.

Makeup is makeup.

Since when does the makeup team

have the right

to decide

our recording schedule?

I...

What, can't you do it?

Fine. Here.

Give me my phone.

No...

I'm going to call Mr. Zhou and ask him

who will be responsible

if the outdoor shoot

runs overtime and we miss the golden hour.

No, Siwei.

That's not what I meant.

I mean...

Liao,

do her makeup first.

I can wait.

Alright.

Siwei,

please wait a moment.

I'll go get the touch-up kit for you.

You need a touch-up now?

Your makeup will be ruined

during the outdoor shoot.

Why make things difficult for others?

Do you really think you're something?

You've only hosted one episode.

Don't actually think

you're on equal footing with me now.

Other shows have invited me too.

But I was worried about you.

My episodes

had an average rating of four.

Yours got one.

So how can I leave?

Did you even write

that proposal yourself?

Your boyfriend bought it for you, right?

You know my capabilities well.

My team and I

are fully capable

of handling these proposals.

I don't need my boyfriend's help.

You can't beat me on your own,

so you found a rich boyfriend to back you up.

Xu Yan,

I never knew

you were so ambitious

and cunning before.

I can secure exclusives,

handle the entire production chain,

and have the professional skills.

Why shouldn't I fight for what I deserve?

I've never considered

ambition and cunning to be insults.

I'll take it

as a compliment.

Thank you.

Is she really that thick-skinned?

Yeah.

When she first arrived,

I remember

she said she only had a grandmother.

Since when does she have parents abroad,

and from an intellectual family at that?

Do you think she might be

like those reality show contestants,

hiding her background

and working her way through school to experience life?

Impossible.

That shabby look of hers

doesn't seem fake at all.

Definitely not.

A few days ago,

I saw her wearing

a diamond bracelet.

Each was at least a carat.

And isn't she marrying

the heir of the construction industry?

Those kinds of families

care the most about social and financial parity.

Yan,

I've sent the proposal to your inbox.

Is there anything else?

Remember to send the interview content

to the guests in advance.

Okay.

I'll clock out then.

Go ahead.

Good evening, viewers.

Welcome to

tonight's Financial News.

This year, global stock markets

are facing new opportunities and challenges.

On one hand,

the aftermath of the tech bubble burst

continues to affect market confidence.

On the other hand,

the rise of emerging markets

offers new growth points

for investors.

Thanks to

its stable economic policies

and vast market potential,

China has attracted global attention.

Qiao Yan is recovering very well.

She'll be discharged in a couple of days.

Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you.

After discharge,

make sure

she gets plenty of sleep

and doesn't overexert herself.

I will.

I'll take good care of her.

Okay.

The access to and dissemination of cultural information

have also made the Chinese stock market

a hot spot

for international capital.

Yan.

How did you get up here?

I ran into Huan downstairs.

She swiped me in.

Are you the only one left?

Still working overtime?

Is there anything I can help with?

Yeah.

I just happen to be undecided

about a few dishes.

You have the best taste.

Help me decide.

Take a look.

Let's go.

Look,

this is the Hangzhou cuisine series.

This is fried shrimps with Longjing tea.

The recipe is here.

This is Dongpo pork.

This is

the pearl necklace.

Congratulations

on getting the position.

This is a gift

for the host of Family Feast.

Thank you.

Your surprises are always the first to arrive.

Do you like it?

Of course I do.

Now that you're officially the host,

do you get your own office?

Show hosts usually don't.

But news anchors

get private offices.

Then go become a news anchor.

The competition

for news anchor is really fierce.

Especially for someone like me

who's never anchored the news before.

It'd be extremely hard.

It might be hard for others,

but I've always

had faith in you.

I always feel like

you can turn the impossible

into possible.

You believe I can do it?

Do whatever you want to do.

I'm waiting

to throw you a celebration party.

But first,

let's solve your problem

and get you off work.

It's getting a bit late.

Everything is moving

in the direction I hoped for.

But I never believed

a lie could be flawless.

It only tightens its grip on my throat,

making it harder

to breathe.

Perhaps the reason for lying

isn't to deceive others,

but to deceive myself.

The family I deliberately erased

was never truly erased.

Look at this one.

It's really great.

Our

previous events

were all quite similar.

Everyone found them boring long ago.

Your show is excellent.

Everyone is very enthusiastic now.

Some even have to pull strings to get in.

Indeed.

Well, smart people

know how to leverage resources.

Right?

To be honest, I didn't really understand before.

Sir.

Thank you.

It's only recently, after spending time

with Ms. Yu

and attending several parties,

that I've learned

a little bit.

You know how to sweet-talk.

You little rascal.

Slow down, alright?

I want to watch cartoons.

Have you finished your homework?

Slow down. Don't trip.

- Is your homework done? - Yes.

We agreed

you only watch for half an hour.

You're spoiling him again.

Have some tea.

Now,

let's applaud to welcome

Dad.

Isn't that you?

Mr. Shen Jinsong

and the merchant representatives

for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the commercial street

renovation project!

Let's start the countdown together.

Three!

Two!

One!

Please cut the ribbon!

Let's applaud to congratulate

Dayun County's Yunjiangli!

Honey, you're quite photogenic.

Haven't aged too badly to look at,

right?

Let's all move to the center

for a group photo.

How do you feel about it?

Well, very...

I...

On behalf of all the merchants

on the commercial street,

I'd like to express our gratitude

to Jinda Group and Mr. Shen

for creating

a favorable

business environment for us

and boosting commercial development.

We will, as always,

fulfill our duties

and serve our fellow townsfolk.

It is reported that Yunjiangli...

Xu,

you're from Shanxi, right?

A representative project

that promotes urban construction

and enhance residents' quality of life.

The streets in the Yunjiangli area

were narrow.

Yes.

So,

have you ever been to Dayun County?

Now the streets have been widened,

and barrier-free access has been provided.

And throughout the commercial district...

My grandmother

is from Yunlai Village in Dayun County.
