You'd better not drink with him.

He's just a wine bibber.

You are the wine bibber!

Uncle, just step aside.

I have business to talk to Mr. Lu.

I don't care.

Come on, let's drink.

Mr. Lu.

Try this.

Have a try.

Have a try to see if it's suitable for your hotel.

If it's all right with you, I can deliver it to your hotel

from tomorrow, as many as you want.

- What's in the zoo? - And...

- There are orangutans. - The price is favorable.

- Monkey. - Try this.

Okay.

Mr. Lu.

Happy to work with you!

I... I...

Brother Wang, listen.

Drink.

Why aren't there any keepers in the zoo?

Of course there are keepers in the zoo.

Drink, come on!

Let's have some dishes first.

No need, I have eaten before.

What?

If you don't go there, your boss will eat you like a chicken claw.

Excuse me for a while.

Liu, drink it for me.

You're a little older than I am.

Drink it for me, okay?

Check the backgrounds

of those two people

playing with Gu Shengnan.

Those two?

When you were giving your speech, they were

making all that noise over there.

Mili and Liu.

Come on.

Are you jealous of them?

Not necessary, Boss.

Listen, they have no core competence at all.

Let me make an analogy for you.

If you were an atomic bomb, those two are at best cherry bombs.

Just some cracks and it's over.

You have a point.

You go there

to replace Miss Gu and drink with those two guys.

Can I do it?

One, two.

Left, left.

Right, right.

Fly!

Miss Gu.

Come on, let me introduce them to you.

This is Mili.

Hello.

This is Liu.

Mili.

And this is Liu.

Why are you staring at me?

You are pretty active with that driver today.

None of your business!

What are you doing?

Zhaodi, you're here.

Come on.

That's not what I mean.

Come on.

Miss Gu, don't you want to sit there?

You've had enough.

Not at all.

Come on.

Miss Gu, don't leave.

Don't make troubles here.

I'm not making troubles. What did I do?

Let's play together.

Left, left, right, right, fly!

Fly, fly, fly!

Mr. Lu.

Thank you.

How are you doing?

It's the first time for you

to eat with so many people in such kind of place.

Not used to this, right?

Shengnan grows up in this place.

These people watched Shengnan grow up.

Even though we're not related,

as days pass by,

we just treat each other like our relatives.

When I was a child,

my uncle was really busy.

He had no time to take care of Shengnan.

So Shengnan ran in the alley alone.

When it's time for meal, Shengnan would go to the closest booth

and eat there.

My uncle can't get her back at all.

After she walked all around the alley and had enough,

she strolled back by herself.

Shengnan grew up with her grandfather.

To be honest,

she needs love.

Otherwise, she won't like a senior like you.

Since her childhood,

her parents were not around.

But if someone bullies her, there are a lot of people behind her.

You know my uncle.

He grew up with a kitchen knife.

Though with a benign face, he can slice a person like slicing a duck.

And Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang runs a small shop now.

But she used to sell roast meat.

Barbecue stick, do you know that?

When she pierces the meat, it hurts much more than witches'

needle.

Besides, all though there are all girls

in Quan'an Couture,

it would be a piece of cake for them to ruin one's reputation.

Don't hurt her.

If you haven't thought about it clearly,

just stop.

Actually, you shouldn't dress her that way last time.

She is beautiful being herself.

Let's use kelp. Kelp is more interesting.

You two play with kelp.

Deal.

Kelp, kelp!

Miss Gu, drink.

Don't pick on our Gu Shengnan.

Drink with me if you can.

All right, no more playing.

Let's enliven the atmosphere.

Let's sing a song!

What song?

Calabash Brothers.

Seven flowers on one vine.

Not afraid of rain or wind.

La la la la!

Lu Jin and Shengnan left.

Do you need me to give you a ride?

No need.

Just send Zhaodi back.

I don't need your instruction.

I have something to tell you.

What?

Do you make men's clothing?

I can ask my company to order clothes for our annual meeting

from your company.

Besides,

I can tell you my boss's size.

In this way, every time he appears in public,

I can make him wear your clothes.

Okay. On what term?

Have you ever sold out your bestie?

Which one?

Don't leave.

I...

I...

am hungry.

You drank so much wine

and ate nothing. No wonder you are hungry now.

Are you happy today?

Of course.

Don't you think it's too noisy?

My little aunt, Uncle Ji, uncle, Liu and Mili.

They've watched me growing up in the food stall.

No, I don't feel noisy at all.

I'm glad to see

how happy you were dancing there.

Why is that?

I'm glad I didn't leave.

And I'm glad that I have so many relatives

because of you.

What?

I drank that much and you didn't take me home, but here.

= Meng Xinjie =

Have you ever sold out your bestie?

Which one?

= Gao Quan'an =

Xu.

I think you were a little suspicious when you were drinking today.

You're the one who drank nothing but juice.

You are not the one who can say I'm suspicious.

What, do you want more?

Of course!

I drank juice in the evening because I have Porsche in my mind.

I said you are suspicious because you have Meng Xinjie on your mind.

What are you talking about?

Xu.

You drank and chatted with that driver tonight.

Why?

You're in love, aren't you?

If you don't talk, I'll take it as a yes.

Do you remember

my previous pursuit?

Isn't it tacky?

Is it wrong?

Until I met Meng Xinjie.

I suddenly realized

what I have been pursuing

is all correct.

So,

today's drinking is a farewell.

It is my farewell to Meng Xinjie.

And a farewell to my muddleheaded first half of my life.

I'm starting over!

Cheers.

♪ Ride on my favorite motorcycle ♪

Shengnan.

Ziqian.

Why are you here?

I'll give you a ride to work on my way.

On your way?

When a man says he is on his way, he is usually not.

Tell me how long you took to get here.

All right, I'm here to pick you up.

Do you need to prepare a new menu today?

I almost forget it.

Anyway, I'm a dinner chef now.

We are on an equal footing now.

Let's go.

Go!

Wait a minute! I'll lock the car.

Let's go.

= Matsuhashi No.1 =

Ms. Zheng.

We'll have meal in the hotel in tomorrow's schedule.

It's a young female cook called Gu Shengnan.

This is the menu specially prepared for you.

It's her again.

What about Lu Jin?

Mr. Lu is having a meeting.

A real estate company in Indonesia wants to cooperate with us.

After our assessment, I think this project

has great potential for development.

This is our qualification assessment report.

Please take a look.

Okay, I'll read it.

Anything else, guys?

Nothing.

That's it for today.

Meng Xinjie.

Yes, Boss?

Sit.

Here?

As you like.

Do you know who caught my attention the most at today's meeting?

Director Wang?

No.

Then it's Mr. Wei.

It's you.

You've changed your lazy style.

You didn't doze off or play your phone.

You even had a small notebook and took notes there.

Of course we have our own secretary taking minutes of the meeting.

It doesn't matter.

I'm curious

what you wrote in that booklet.

Nothing important.

I ended the meeting to take a look at your notebook.

= Minutes of Meeting =

Just these few words?

Does it take that long to write these?

You talked too much at the meeting.

My notebook is too small.

Tell me

what happened.

After what I've been through yesterday,

I have an epiphany.

I have a new understanding

about my life.

What happened yesterday?

It doesn't matter what happened yesterday.

What matters is what I want tomorrow!

What do you want?

I want your big villa.

Do you have feelings for my villa?

I'm used to living there.

But that's not what I meant.

I mean I want to make money through my own efforts!

I will buy a big villa like Matsuhashi No.1.

It's difficult.

What about I get Mr. Wei's position one day on my own efforts?

Is it possible?

It's more difficult.

Meng Xinjie, these are not important.

We've been friends since I was 8.

You've been with me for another two years after I came back.

No matter how hard I tried to make you work,

you just never listened to me But last night

you were singing Calabash Brothers with them.

And all of a sudden you grew up overnight.

Can you tell me what happened?

You may not understand it anyway.

It's love.

Of course I get it.

Why are you peeking at me?

Ziqian.

Let me ask you something.

I hope you can be honest with me.

Was I chosen this time because of my own strength?

Otherwise?

Do you think I pulled the strings for you?

Not only I approve of you, Miss Li also approves of you very much.

Miss Li?

Li Man?

Do you know each other well?

We used to be classmates.

She is a nice person.

Besides, she treats her people well.

It's just we don't contact much later.

Is she that nice?

You'll know it when you get to know her.

And she is the popular kid in our school.

Goddess-like.

Many seniors and juniors had crush on her.

Goddess-like.

All right. Just pull over.

Just pull over!

We haven't arrived.

It's all right. I'll get off here!

Fine.

Did I say anything wrong?

Be careful!

Everybody, take a break.

Let me tell you something.

Do you know what I just saw at the door?

What did you see?

I'll give you a hint.

Do you know from whose car Gu Shengnan got off?

Miss Gu's own bicycle.

Gu Shengnan got off

from Manager Cheng's Benz!

My dear!

Manager Cheng has a Benz!

Is that the point?

Then what is the point?

The point is

we were all wrong

about Gu Shengnan.

She is not the woman of our big boss.

She is the woman of our underboss.

Underboss...

More suspiciously, Manager Cheng's Benz

took a pause at the east corner of our hotel.

That intersection is 200 meters away from us.

Right?

Yeah.

Gu Shengnan got off the car and deliberately rode a shared bike

to our hotel.

She rode a bike here?

What does that mean?

The more she tries to hide the more it's exposed.

She is avoiding suspicion.

I didn't expect Gu Shengnan to have so many tricks to play.

No wonder we are no match for her.

I thought the situation would be different

since we have a new boss now.

I didn't expect the atmosphere to be fouler.

Looks like it's getting harder for us to stay at Bauhinia Hotel.

Well, figure it out by yourselves.

Come on, let's get to work!

Miss Gu.

What's the matter?

What?

I mean, am I your friend anyway?

You even hide your office romance from me.

What are you talking about in the morning?

The news Manager Cheng driving you to work

has been spread among the kitchen.

I guess housekeeping department should know it now at this speed.

That fast?

Did you say it?

I did it for your good.

Think about it.

If the whole hotel knows you are such an important person,

even Manager Cheng has to drive you to work in person,

who dares to bully you anymore?

Trumpet.

There is nothing between me and Cheng Ziqian.

After what you did, the whole hotel will be gossiping about me.

You are so troublesome.

Get away!

She that would wear a crown must bear its weight.

Simple as that!

Ms. Zheng is coming over for dinner tomorrow.

You all know that, right?

Each of you should prepare one dish.

Let's practice it today to make sure no accident tomorrow.

Where is Mr. Wang?

He was just there.

I guess he went to the bathroom.

Okay.

Now let me assign the dishes.

Mr. Yu, you make Wellington steak.

This...

Mr. Zhang.

You make abalone with oyster broth.

You're better at this dish...

Mr. Liu, Mont-Blanc...

I'll show you my skills this noon.

Noodles with tomato gravy.

I love it.

What's going on here?

Is there any problem?

Just bring it out.

These dishes are all modified by you.

We don't know how to cook them.

Mr. Yu.

I have sent the menu and ingredients to you.

We're not the head chef.

It takes at least ten days or half a month

for us to learn that.

Chef!

I memorized them all!

You're young and you have a good memory.

Chef Gu.

How about you teach us?

Yeah.

Teach us.

Okay.

Trumpet.

You memorized them all, right?

Prepare the dishes!

Yes!

Gu Shengnan!

It's just preparing dishes.

What's the table pounding, staring and yelling about?

I heard you yelling all the way from here!

What's the matter?

Why do you cook like fighting a war?

Well.

We are waiting for the dishes. What are you doing now?

Learning how to cook.

Leaning?

I mean, are you learning how to cook right now?

I have no idea.

They've been cooking for many years.

Suddenly they lost the ability to cook overnight.

Isn't that strange?

It's not losing the ability.

We just can't learn what Chef Gu taught us.

Mr. Zhang.

If I remember correctly, you just made the abalone with oyster broth

several days ago.

I mean, do you suddenly lose your memory and not know how to cook?

I didn't sleep well yesterday. I did lose some memory.

Manager Shen.

How about this?

Since they all have bad memories,

then don't make it difficult for them.

The kitchen needs some changes, too.

Let's bring in some new people.

We've been working in Bauhinia Hotel for years.

You little girl just came here for a few days.

Now you want to fire us?

Do you really think you are that important?

I do think...

Mr. Yu.

Look.

You're our old cook in Bauhinia Hotel.

Right?

You've been working here before I came.

Well, now you can't even get the priorities straight?

What is the situation now?

Do you have to start troubles at this critical moment?

I know you feel angry.

Can we deal with it later after we solve this problem?

And you guys.

You know who will be our guest tomorrow?

I don't need to introduce Ms. Zheng to you, right?

If the work gets affected by your infighting, no one can protect you!

Listen to me.

Let's leave it there for today.

You'd better act your part.

Sorry, I'm not feeling well today.

I want to ask for leave.

Come on, Mr. Yu... Mr. Yu...

Well...

What?

Get to work now!

They're waiting for the food.

Take care. I'll do it now.

Let's work.

Okay.

= BLACK TRUFFLE =

Lucas?

I'm the director of FA Company to cooperate with you.

Celine Xu?

Yes.

Yes.

You can call me Lu Junyi.

So you can speak Chinese, right?

Yes.

I'm also half Chinese.

Yeah.

I'm really not good at German.

I just learned those sentences.

I can hear that.

What a gentle man of you

for not exposing me.

Please have a seat.

Let's speak Mandarin.

All right.

Well,

Boss.

If there is nothing else, I'll leave now.

You wait for Miss Gu to get off work.

What's the rush?

I... I took an Indonesian class.

I'll be late if I don't go now.

Why do you love minority languages so much?

I'm not a big fan of minority languages.

It's because you were having business with an Indonesian developer.

I thought it might help you if I learn the language first.

Change the reason.

I'd like to tell you about my recent love life.

I feel like my state right now...

All right, just go ahead.

What?

Miss Gu.

Go now.

I bought celery and beef today.

And...

cucumber.

Why is that?

A.

B.

C.

E.

The pronunciation is A.

A.

Rising tone of Pinyin.

A.

The pronunciation is longer.

A.

Right?

A.

O is equivalent to O in Chinese pinyin.

Is it also longer?

Longer.

O.

O.

Okay, I got the third one.

That should be rising tone of Pinyin.

E.

Right?

Don't try to be clever, Meng Xinjie.

E has two pronunciations in Indonesian.

One is E.

E.

The other is E.

E.

Repeat it.

A.

O.

E.

Pick it up.

There are only the two of us.

Although I am the only student,

I still have to obey the class discipline.

Go on.

Why is Gu Shengnan unhappy?

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

F.

How would I know that? Ask yourself.

H.

I.

J.

I'm in a bad mood today.

Will you leave me alone?

What can I do to make you happy?

Well,

go somewhere with me.

I'd love to.

Nice talking to you, Mr. Lu.

Happy time is always short.

We'll talk about my trip to Europe.

Next time.

See you next time.

I'll see you off.

All right.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Here you are.

How much is the duck egg?

Shengnan.

How do you have time to come and see me?

Who is this handsome guy?

Your boyfriend?

Look, this handsome man is full of glamour he must be a generous man.

Want some duck eggs?

Take me your most expensive duck eggs.
