Yao.

Take a break.

Let's talk about

the makeup and the clothing

for the next episode.

What's wrong?

Why are you down?

We've been spending on fabrics

and filming equipment

like water flowing.

Our startup funds

are almost gone.

I just feel that you trusted me so much,

but the videos we posted

got zero response.

I feel terribly guilty.

Snap out of it.

Stop overthinking.

You're our stylist.

Just focus on making good outfits.

Don't worry about anything else.

We'll handle them.

Got it?

Then I'll keep trying.

Not a single stitch will be wasted.

You were saying?

Here's the thing.

Take a look.

Pick from these.

I also brought many lipsticks

for you to pick.

We'll only expand our consumer base

after building brand awareness.

Many college students

and young customers

are fond of ethnic-style accessories.

Let's take a look

at our overall design philosophy.

As you can see,

we want ethnic clothing

to shine globally

and make an impact.

We've also conducted some research.

Young girl around 20

now prefer ethnic outfits,

including Chinese-style clothing.

Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li.

We've prepared a presentation.

We target ethnic-style apparel

with customized designs.

This is to you. Cheers.

Office workers.

This design...

It has modern styling...

It's highly adaptable.

It makes a fashionable daily wear.

Hello?

Mr. Ding?

This is Xu Yan.

Yeah.

Nothing urgent.

I just wanted to

ask about the proposal I sent you.

Please review it

when you have time. Thank you.

If you're interested,

I'll visit your office for details.

♪Passing through my eyes a thousand times♪

No worries.

Okay.

Got it.

No problem.

♪When you speak, the universe halts♪

♪Even fate grows still♪

♪Sunset glow caresses♪

♪Your silhouette♪

♪Till sunset takes dreams away♪

♪Leaving me, unbroken♪

♪Envying dust♪

♪Resting in your heart♪

♪Like fireworks that loved♪

♪Rushing toward the stars♪

♪Undaunted by pain♪

♪Fearless of flames♪

(I just want to)

(correct my mistakes)

and live my life properly.

Since we've decided to divorce,

let's be strangers then.

The screen is broken again.

Shen Haoming.

Why are you here?

I came to check on Yan.

Save it.

I feel like speaking for my sister today.

She did make mistakes,

but you're not so innocent, either.

She tried so hard

to save your relationship.

But what did you do?

Now she's running around,

securing investments.

If you'd treated her better,

she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Now you're being nice?

That's unnecessary.

I want to help her, but she keeps refusing.

Please talk to her.

No, I won't.

She won't take

another penny from you.

You should just leave.

And don't come back.

Ms. Xu,

the popularity and views of your videos

haven't met our expectations.

We will sit on your proposal for now.

Alright, thank you, Mr. Zhang. Looking forward to working with you.

Alright.

Same here.

Ms. Xu.

Mr. Jiang Liang.

Call me Mr. Liang.

Mr. Liang.

What a coincidence.

I have meetings scheduled here

for some venture projects.

Are you here

for some promising ventures?

Share the information

if you don't mind.

(Yan Studio)

I'm seeking funding.

Seeking funding?

You?

Yes, me.

Ms. Xu, you must be joking.

I'm dead serious.

Really.

So the rumors are true.

You and Shen Haoming fell out.

That's irrelevant.

What's your project about?

Fashion-related short videos.

We aim to expand into

offline garment production.

Short videos?

Why enter such saturated waters?

Mr. Jiang Liang...

Sorry.

Mr. Liang.

Any thoughts?

Statistically speaking, I'm pessimistic.

By Q2 this year,

there are 1.55 billion

short video accounts

across major platforms.

There are 15.08 million

professional streamers,

500,000 accounts with 100K fans,

40,000 with a million fans,

and just 1,000 with 10 million followers.

You want to stand out

in 80 million daily uploads?

All I can say is

good luck.

Impressive, Mr. Liang.

You're very well-informed.

Now, your design is not bad.

It fuses ethnic and avant-garde styles.

But

it lacks uniqueness.

The execution is superficial.

It lacks soul.

My rule is

better risky than boring.

No offense.

That's just me.

Straight talker.

No offense taken.

Your comment is constructive.

I agree.

To get investors,

work on three essentials:

thorough research,

clear strengths,

and absolute execution.

But most people

obsess over the idea alone.

Their approach is wrong.

If we don't emphasize project-specific context,

what should we address?

The investors.

The investors?

Every investment firm

has its own philosophy

and key focus areas.

Some value accurate market understanding,

others emphasize unique selling points,

while some focus on your execution.

Therefore, you must tailor your proposals

according to the priorities

of each investment firm.

That ensures higher success rates.

Thank you.

Don't be discouraged, though.

It's a solid project.

Make proper adjustments.

It will work.

Mr. Liang,

from an investor's perspective,

would you fund this project?

In its current state,

I wouldn't.

But I can bring you

a great photographer

who's my friend.

My connection comes free.

Thank you.

No problem. It's nothing.

Let me add you

on WeChat.

Alright.

I'll scan your code.

Done.

Mr. Shen,

many executives couldn't believe that

the Cheng'an County project made a comeback.

Hongyun is notorious.

Nobody wants to deal with it.

But this time,

you solved the problems impressively.

This project has been revitalized.

So what?

I'm still sidelined.

Don't you already have a plan?

The Baraikins will arrive in Jingzhou

for vacation at Yanbo Resort.

Golden paint.

Jinda's overseas expansion

has long sought cooperation with

this Russian real estate tycoon.

It's a great opportunity.

But someone

might've beaten us to it.

Situo Construction?

They assigned someone named Steve to speak to the Baraikins.

Let him be the vanguard.

Done.

Chen Lin.

I composed this

from 2,441 pieces of agave leaves.

Impressive?

Cool.

Thank you.

Mr. Baraikin,

if you're willing to cooperate with us,

you can not only enjoy the investment,

our company...

It's okay.

Let's speak Chinese.

Your Chinese proficiency surprises me.

My wife is Chinese.

We speak Chinese at home.

Excellent.

I'll continue in Chinese.

Go ahead.

I meant to say

that if you collaborate with us,

we'll increase investment

and prioritize you

as our crucial overseas strategic partner.

I'd consider your proposal.

I'll enjoy the vacation

with my wife in China.

After that,

I can visit Situo for business.

Excellent.

May I ask about your plans in China?

If you don't mind,

I could be your guide.

Thank you.

But our itinerary has already been set.

Besides,

I promised my wife

not to talk business

during the vacation.

As you please.

I wish you a pleasant holiday.

I bet you're still single.

Yeah.

Once you get married, you'll realize

that career is just a small part of life.

A man's achievement is measured

not by wealth nor status,

but by the home he builds.

Here.

To men with families.

Thank you.

Mr. Baraikin values family deeply.

He believes a man who cherishes

and cares for his wife

is truly wise, committed,

and a trustworthy partner.

(Yan)

(Yan)

Look.

The sleeves are uneven.

And here.

Have some coffee.

Thank you.

How do you like the shooting environment?

It's great.

Thank you for your support.

Mr. Liang,

since you're in a hurry,

I've adjusted the order

of the shooting.

Let me brief you.

We plan to start with the second set.

The AC is strong. Don't catch a cold.

I can show you the designs to save time.

Right?

Look.

We intend to make this set our flagship product.

And then...

When a woman becomes unoffendable,

unswayable, and unshakable,

she develops an irresistible charm.

Mr. Liang,

your words flow like poetry.

Remarkable.

Neither of us is a fool.

I know men like Shen Haoming

born into affluent families.

They never develop

genuine emotional attachments.

They're shallow

and heartless.

But when you're together,

they make you feel

deeply loved.

You'd better free yourself from him.

I'm willing to help.

And I can be very generous.

Please don't turn me down.

I understand.

I'm glad then.

I'll surely become

your most outstanding partner.

I'll work hard.

Trust me.

Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin, listen.

Set 1 and 3 have the same style.

Charming.

Yeah.

I love it.

Swap them.

Okay, then.

It's fine.

Only earrings left.

What about Guan?

Same for her.

This'll be quick.

- I need to take this. - Okay.

(Shen Haoming)

What's wrong?

I'm busy.

I'm busy.

Okay, go ahead.

Yan.

Who was it?

Shen Haoming.

What does he want?

(I need)

(your help.)

He needs my help with something.

Things are so tense right now.

Would he give you trouble?

You want to see him?

He reached out to me.

It must be urgent.

Don't worry.

I'll handle it properly.

Alright.

Go then.

You don't listen to anyone.

But remember.

Call me if anything happens.

What for?

I'll beat him up.

Always so thoughtful.

Go ahead.

Right.

Okay.

Madam, hurry.

Sit.

It's been so long.

How are you?

I'm fine.

How's your startup going?

Sit.

I'm not here for small talk.

Just get to the point.

I want to discuss a business deal.

I know you're having funding issues.

Consider this a fundraising opportunity.

You're the one in bigger trouble.

You asked me for help.

So don't put on that superior act.

Business requires sincerity.

A Russian couple in real estate

is arriving soon.

I want to collaborate with them

to expand our overseas markets.

But the husband values family greatly.

I hope we can appear in front of them

as spouses.

Help me gain their approval.

Here's their profile.

We're in the cooling-off period.

We're not divorced yet.

Legally,

we're still married.

I won't ask for free help.

Feel free to state your terms.

(Green Star Group Company Profile)

How much do you make

for sealing this deal?

At least a billion.

One million yuan.

One million yuan?

My help brings greater returns.

If you refuse,

find someone else.

I meant to say

the apparel industry requires

heavy investment.

A million alone won't make a splash.

Here's the deal.

I'll invest 10 million as a shareholder.

I don't want your investment.

This is an equal partnership.

I'll only take my fee.

I don't need anything else.

Okay.

Deal.

One million yuan as your fee.

But remember this.

Mr. Baraikin values marital bonds deeply.

We need to look like

the most loving couple.

To our partnership.

To our partnership.

The outfit I picked for you look nice.

Hello.

Baby.

Where are our IDs?

Weren't you the one

keeping them all along?

My job is just to enjoy myself.

It's my fault.

I keep forgetting things.

If we can't check in today,

we'll have to camp outside.

Then we'll sleep in a tent,

watch stars and the moon,

and have a barbecue.

Sir, your room key.

Thank you.

Come on.

This couple seems so in love.

But I don't like Barbie.

I prefer Twilight romance.

Plan B.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Look.

These guys look like Edward and Bella.

Yeah.

That's my favorite love story.

You used to watch it a lot.

Yeah, once a week.

Excuse me.

Which floor?

Same.

Thank you.

This way, please.

Your room's at the end of this hall.

Please give me a second.

Excuse me, please.

Thank you. This way, please.

Almost there.

Here.

Enjoy your vacation.

May I ask which room you're staying in?

What floor is this?

The second floor.

We're on the third floor.

Plan C.

We have a room.

Second floor.

I wish you a pleasant stay.

Please.

Enjoy your stay.

Thank you.

Hello.

Please send the priciest romance package

to Room 2132.

Make sure the cake says

"I love you" on it.

Thank you.

Sir, your cake

and champagne are here.

But we didn't order this.

But...

This is Room 2132.

It looks amazing.

Honey, is this a surprise for me?

Thank you, darling.

Stop acting.

I'm so happy.

Please charge it to my room.

Let me bring it inside.

Thank you.

He's gone.

This cake is so good.

Thank you, honey.

Have more if you like it.

Okay.

Made it.

Hello.

May I help you?

We ordered a romance package

and I think the waiter

brought it to your room.

Oh, it was yours?

I'm so sorry.

We've already...

I'm sorry, I already took a bite.

I'm sorry, I...

- Hello. - I already took a bite.

It's okay.

No need to apologize.

A beautiful cake like this

is meant for a beautiful lady.

Sorry.

My wife seemed delighted.

So we accepted it.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

You are so in love.

You're a great role model for young couples like us.

We won't disturb you. Let's go.

Wait.

How about the four of us share it?

There's champagne too.

This kind of cake

is only meant for a couple.

How about this, honey?

Tonight,

I'll take you to the hotel lawn.

They're known for their shows.

So romantic.

You're also going to the lawn?

Then let's have a drink later.

- Okay. - Okay.

- See you tonight. - See you tonight.

Take the bed.

I'll take the sofa.

Okay, thanks.

That cake was a good idea.

Unpack your own stuff.

♪I just wanna take my time tonight♪

Over here.

Hello.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

Let me introduce myself.

I'm Shen Haoming.

This is my wife, Xu Yan.

I'm Baraikin.

Hello.

This is my wife.

Hello.

Over here.

This way.

- You speak fluent Chinese. - What a nice dress.

Horse-face skirt.

I'll get you one if you like.

Yes, please!

♪When the time is right♪

Perfect.

Beautiful weather today.

Indeed.

Here.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

After the wonderful performances,

let's move on to the game session.

Couples in Sync Challenge.

We've prepared

various games

for couples.

Let's see if you can complete the challenges.

Those who succeed

will receive fabulous prizes.

Who wants to go first

and take the challenge?

Excuse me.

Why are you leaving?

Are you scared that you might not

be in sync?

This looks fun. I want to try.

Here.

We have international guests too.

Let's welcome them with applause.

Let's try later too.

It's called "Couples in Sync."

How are we in sync?

You Act, I Guess.

Ready, go.

Fine, then forget it.

First question.

Two words.

(Sun Wukong)

Let's see if you can guess it.

(Sun Wukong) Monkey.

- Sun Wukong. - Two words.

Correct. Congratulations.

Excellent.

Alright, next question.

Nice.

Okay, two words.

Show us your interpretation.

Very vivid.

(Giant Panda) Two words.

Big bear.

Giant panda.

Correct. Congratulations.

Brilliant.

Our foreign friend

has a deep understanding of Chinese culture.

You're doing so well.

We applaud you.

Excellent.

Okay, next question.

Also two words.

What's happening here?

Okay.

Dancing.

Two words.

Jump.

What...

Swing.

Yangge dancing.

Congratulations, that's correct.

What is this?

You got everything right.

It's quite windy.

Brilliant.

Next question.

Everyone.

Two words.

Still two words.

There's no wind.

Didn't you agree to cooperate?

Why don't you try to appreciate

your husband?

Tai Chi.

Congratulations again.

A loving couple

wouldn't show off in public.

Don't you understand?

The wife acting up

is a part of the dynamic.

Watch your attitude.

You can act up, but don't cross the line, okay?

Are you upset?

Replace me then.

I'll just quit.

Don't forget we have a contract.

It's mutually binding.

I'm not your subordinate.

Don't order me around like before.

Congratulations, that's correct.

Amazing.

They're so in sync.

Okay.

Let's proceed to the next part.

Bring the towels.

Unentangle the towels.

It's a simple game.

Let's see what happens.

It's impossible to communicate with you.

Then let's stop communicating.

Focus on your task.

Another round of applause for them!

Why do you think we're getting divorced?

If you can't find the right approach,

try different methods.

Try different approaches

to get the towels unentangled.

Because you used me.

Didn't you use me?

But I truly love you.

Loved you.

I helped you too.

That means, to you,

our relationship was nothing

but a transaction all along, right?

I don't think we need to reach this point.

What do you mean?

Want to reconcile?

I've tried.

Did it work?

It's too late.

I just want to tell you

that being with me will benefit you.

Your current business

will waste your money.

Only I can save you, okay?

Why do you overestimate yourself?

And why do you belittle me?

You think no one wants to fund me?

Listen carefully.

Investors are lining up.

Want to invest?

Get in line.

Who's investing in you?

Tell me.

Stop talking.

Yan.

Look, this is my trophy.

So cute.

Yeah.

Would you like to give it a try?

It's fun.

Us?

It's really fun.

Want to try, honey?

Alright.

The next game is called:

"Which Way to Look?

One, Two, Three."

It's another test to see if the couples

are in sync.

Please listen to my command.

After I say,

"Which way to look? One, two, three,"

turn your heads.

If you turn in the same direction,

you win.

Otherwise, you will receive a punishment.

Now,

there's water on the table.

Whoever grabs it first

can splash the other.

Who's your investor?

Focus on the game.

Ready, go.

Which way to look?

One.

Two.

Three.

I didn't make the rules.

It's fine.

I understand.

Which way to look?

One.

Two.

Three.

We were in sync.

Sorry.

I got confused.

It's okay.

I understand.

(Robot) You Act, I Guess.

Ready, go.

One word.

Watch the details.

What is he doing?

Seniors.

Wrong guess.

Try acting differently.

Great dancing.

Poping?

Getting warmer.

Robot.

Correct. Well done.

Excellent.

Next question.

Ready, go.

(Electric fan)

What's this?

Electric fan.

You got it.

Fantastic.

You're reading his mind.

Swap positions now.

Let's see how you'll do next.

Everyone, applause please.

Thanks. I believe they will do even better.

(Hide) Next question. Go.

Four letters.

Okay.

Second one.

Up.

Fourth one.

Down.

Swim.

Swim.

Lookout.

Observation.

Next one, please.

(Hide) Okay.

(Sauerkraut fish) Next question.

Two words.

Two words.

Is she cooking?

Tastes bad.

Final countdown.

Five...

Cut.

Four...

Three...

Two words.

Swim.

Swimming.

Two...

Skip, please.

Okay.

Alright, next question.

(Band-Aid)

Get this one correctly,

and you'll win the game and the prize.

(Band-Aid) Let's see if they can win.

Okay.

Ready,

go.

The nurse removed the needle.

I feared you'd keep bleeding,

so applied a band-aid.

(Band-Aid)

How many characters?

If you don't start,

(Band-Aid) we'll start the countdown.

Okay.

Hurry.

We're out of time.

Four.

- Three. - Come on.

Xu Yan.

Two.

Band-Aid.

Congratulations. The answer is correct.

(Band-Aid)

That's incredible.

At the last second,

you actually got it right.

And that gesture

she made was so simple.

They're 100 percent

in sync.

A round of applause.

Amazing!
