You are a great buddy.

Truthfully,

this money

should all be Shanshan's.

This is his royalty.

He is the biggest contributor.

Thank him for his hard work.

I'll eat out tonight.

See you later.

(Su City TV Station)

Mom.

Didn't we agree on this?

Why are you arranging blind dates for me again?

Ran.

Hey.

Got it.

Mom, I'm busy. I'll talk to you later.

(Jin Ran.)

(Did you put your phone aside again?)

No, Mom, I'm listening.

You're absolutely right.

I understand.

(This time,)

(you must listen to me.)

(Okay?)

(Did you hear me?)

Talk to you later.

I'll have lunch first.

(Sure, go ahead and eat.)

Lian Jingyun.

I have something to tell you.

The daily is out.

The trial broadcast just ended.

Our superiors are very satisfied.

The show is scheduled for this Saturday.

Really?

Of course.

Wu just told me.

Then I came to tell you.

After all, you played a big role

in ensuring the smooth airing of this program.

Alright, got it.

This is not like you.

You didn't criticize me this time.

You should either criticize me,

or praise me a bit.

I'm not used to you being like this.

Shall I criticize you then?

Sure.

Get lost.

That's more like it.

Take your hands off.

Yum.

Oh my goodness.

I can't eat anymore.

Bro, are you full?

Have more.

You only ate this much.

I can't.

You eat more. Your body is growing.

Here.

I grilled a bit more. Eat them while they're hot.

You made too much.

Yuan Yuan.

I've been wanting to ask you.

How did you season the barbecue?

Why is it so delicious?

I'm not sure.

I just followed the instructions from a video.

A video?

Send me that video later.

Sure.

Why do you care so much about this barbecue video?

Here's tonight's highlight.

I'm not inviting you over for this barbecue only.

Just wait.

What is it?

I don't know.

Did he make us a feast?

I'm happy just holding it.

Check this out.

Bro, did you rob a bank?

Where did you get so much cash?

Nonsense.

This is hard-earned money,

and you're the biggest contributor.

Are you excited just looking at it?

What do you mean?

This is for Yuan Yuan.

Thank you, boss.

Keep up the good work.

This is mine.

Why are you staring?

The rest is all yours.

Take it!

There's 150,000 in it.

The deposit for Pursuit.

It's your royalty.

Jia Zhen said it'll only be figures if this money is in the bank.

It's better to have cash, which is more reassuring.

This bag is quite heavy.

What's going on here?

Listen.

We made money,

and we're dividing the money now.

All of that is yours, Shanshan.

This much?

What do you mean this much?

It's what you deserve.

This is just the beginning.

From now on, the three of us

will divide money every day.

Ten times, 100 times, and even 1000 times this number!

Bro.

You're exaggerating now.

Are you happy?

Pretty happy.

Really?

How about having a drink with me?

Shanshan doesn't drink.

I know,

but he's happy today.

That means he has to have a drink with me.

Sure.

I'll have a drink with you.

Bring the cups.

Okay.

Don't leave it here.

It's such an important thing.

It's okay. It's just the two of us here.

I'm afraid I can't control myself.

I brought two.

I'll have a little too.

No problem.

We're drinking this?

Yep. It's a liquor,

which has a great quality.

For small gatherings and ordinary occasions,

I don't take it out to drink.

Let's toast

to our shared success and

a bright future for the studio.

Shall we?

Alright.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Cheers.

How is it?

Is it good?

What is this called again?

Liquor.

Liquor?

Savor it slowly.

Its aftertaste is actually really good.

Let me add some more for you.

Okay?

I'll have more after I finish this.

Why didn't you two finish it?

Yuan Yuan, you're supposed to set an example.

You can drink.

Finish it.

Hurry!

I can't drink anymore.

Hurry up! It's a good liquor.

Others hardly get to try it.

Drink up!

Come on, the two of you.

Keep going and work hard!

This is how my team should be.

Drink it all!

It's not bad, right?

Yeah.

You're not used to it yet.

But this liquor is really good.

Have more, Yuan Yuan.

Stop!

It's spilled!

It's a spirit.

Let's have another one.

What?

Didn't you say to savor it slowly?

I'm done drinking. You guys go ahead.

Shanshan, let's have it then.

Thank you for your dedication to my studio.

I mean our studio.

You're tipsy, aren't you?

I have a better tolerance than you.

Are you drunk?

I'm sober now.

Here's the rent for a year.

I'm paying it all at once!

The payment for your work came in, right?

Liu Xia.

Thank you so much.

You were right.

Smiling really brings good luck.

Wait.

Hold on.

Qi Lianshan, you're heavy.

Qi Lianshan?

You're heavy.

Qi Lianshan.

Wake up, Qi Lianshan.

I'm not going to the premiere.

You can watch it with Ranran.

Why?

It's the premiere of the show.

It's a significant moment,

and you're not coming.

I've already planned it out.

I'll order food.

We can all be together,

and enjoy each other's company.

I bet you want to impress others.

I'm meeting someone. I won't be there.

Is it Qi Lianshan again?

Mind your own business.

Bro, did you settle the issue with the show's credits?

Yes, I've sorted it out.

You've asked me many times already.

You care more about him.

That's not true.

Now it's your chance to impress Ranran.

Haven't you always wanted to impress her?

Yeah, that's right.

You should call her right away.

Sure.

Who is it?

Coming.

Miss Liu.

My boss is in trouble.

Jin Ran, open the door.

Jin Ran, it's me.

What are you doing? Using the restroom?

Hurry up!

I'm waiting!

What is she doing?

Is she taking a shower?

Hey.

The show premieres today.

Are you at home?

Hurry and open the door.

After graduation,

I start to work at a new media company.

Things are going well.

My boss recognizes my abilities.

So now...

Sorry.

It's okay.

(Hey.)

(The show premiers today.)

(Are you at home?)

(Hurry and open the door.)

(Verification successful. The door is unlocked.)

Jin Ran.

Jin Ran.

(The door is locked.)

Listen.

I came here today with great sincerity.

Come back, understand?

The dessert here is delicious.

I...

Miss Jin.

Sorry.

What were we just talking about?

I mentioned that I work in new media.

I feel like we have a lot in common.

I mean that.

Miss Jin, is there something?

I'm really sorry.

My best friend's show is premiering today.

I have to go back and watch it.

Let's meet another time.

I'll pay for this.

What show is it?

We can watch it together.

It's okay.

I need to hurry back. See you next time.

I'm really sorry.

Miss Jin.

Can you do me a favor?

I came here today with a task.

I need to stay at least two hours in this cafe.

This is a command from my mother herself.

But I'm really in a hurry.

Please help me out.

My mother may be nearby, watching me.

So if I can't complete the task,

she'll make me ask you out again.

Well.

Alright then.

Great, thank you.

Thank you so much, Miss Liu.

I understand your work principles.

Psychological counselors

never go on house calls.

I understand this is an unreasonable request.

Chairman Bai.

As you mentioned on the phone,

let's consider it as a friend helping out,

not an official house call.

How is Mr. Bai Jr. doing now?

Please come this way.

He's been like this since he returned on the day before yesterday.

He put himself in a doll's outfit,

and wrapped himself tightly in it,

refusing to eat or drink anything.

It's been two days already.

Bai Muchen.

I'm Liu Xia.

So this is your little courtyard.

I can feel the breeze gently brushing my cheeks.

It's like caressing every inch of my skin.

The evening breeze

carries the fragrance of leaves.

It smells so pleasant.

Give it a sniff too.

You can smell the scent of leaves,

hear the sound of wind rustling through the leaves,

the sound of water,

and the chirping of birds too.

Have the kitchen prepare food for Chen again.

Something easy to digest.

Alright, I'll go now.

It's a pity though.

Since you're wearing that big thing,

you must not be able to feel it as direct as me.

Liu Xia.

I'm scared.

Where are you?

Come out!

Where are you hiding?

Come out!

Open the door!

Come out.

Come out!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Take a deep breath.

Relax.

That's right.

Take a deep breath.

Relax.

Can you tell me

who that person is?

Mommy.

Really?

(Something came up here.)

(It's a very tricky case.)

(I might return later than expected.)

(I'll cook slowly and wait for you.)

(Alright, I'll be as quick as possible.)

(The patient is important. No rush.)

(I'll wait for you.)

(Hello everyone.)

(I'm Liu Xia, a psychological counselor.)

(First of all, thank you for taking the time)

(to attend Rendezvous' press conference today.)

(The number you have dialed is busy.)

(Please try again later.)

You've been holding that crayon in your hand.

Who gave it to you?

It's from my mommy.

You must love your mommy, right?

Can you tell me about your story with your mommy?

Is her cooking delicious?

She must hope that you eat and grow up well, right?

Let's take off this big thing and eat, okay?

Ready?

My name is Liu Xia.

What's your name?

Come and play with us!

Look. They really need you!

(When they encounter problems)

(and don't know how to solve them,)

(they keep it to themselves.)

(Over time,)

(they will grow even more upset about it.)

(In such situations,)

(we can seek help from a psychological counselor.)

(They can find effective methods)

(and communication techniques)

(to help you solve those problems.)

(The purpose of Rendezvous is)

(to let everyone have a better understanding of this industry.)

(We hope that more people can find comfort in their hearts.)

(Thank you, everyone.)

Eat more.

(Let's begin.)

(You can let your child stand on the ground.)

(Come here.)

(Now express what you want to say to your wife using body language.)

(Hello everyone.)

(This is my studio.)

(This is where I live and meet with visitors for counseling.)

(The area above the stairs is my workspace.)

(Visitors will fill out this form when they first come here.)

(This form contains their basic information and relevant details.)

(This sand tray is used by visitors to create scenes with the figurines.)

(Director, Lian Jingyun. Screenwriter, Qi Lianshan.)

Aoran Group has been doing counseling for a while.

I've gathered some information.

It should have what you're looking for.

Very well.

I didn't misjudge you.

If you're interested in that female psychological consultant named Liu Xia,

go and get her then.

I'm not here to play matchmaker.

Youli.

I can tell that you're ambitious just like me,

so I admire you.

I don't know what kind of feelings you hold toward Liu Xia.

What I can teach you is,

as a man,

if you want to achieve great things,

you must learn to control your emotions and even utilize them.

Of course, this may sound harsh,

but you should consider the underlying principles.

For me,

I'm willing to tell other capital companies

a story about a golden couple

of the counseling industry who achieve great success together.

It would benefit Borman's reputation.

Youli,

for this alone,

it's worth getting her back.

Understood?

Yes.

She is mine.

She will be mine eventually.

Thank you for today.

You helped me accomplish my task.

But anyway,

I really had a great time today.

And thank you for driving me back.

No problem.

Well, I'll go home now.

Rest early.

Let's stay in touch!

Goodbye.

Qi Lianshan.

Qi Lianshan.

Don't sleep here.

You'll catch a cold.

You're back.

Sorry about that.

I got held up with something today.

It's okay.

Have you eaten anything?

They're cold now.

Shall I make you something else to eat?

Did you prepare all these?

Yeah.

Didn't you say you wanted a barbecue?

Let me heat them up.

Wait for me.

You can make a barbecue too?

Don't underestimate me.

Did you watch the show?

I was just about to tell you about the show.

I saw my name credited at the end.

Thanks.

The success of this show is the result of our joint efforts.

Let me do it.

I'll do it.

Really?

Did you add cumin?

Yes.

The taste I carefully crafted must be delicious.

The aroma is already wafting.

Right?

Have you eaten?

What about you?

No, I've been waiting for your barbecue.

I haven't eaten either.

Cool.

You should taste it first later.

If it's not enough, I'll add more cumin.

Just a moment.

Master Qi's Barbecue.

I think the name is good.

Really?

What kind of name is that?

Master Qi's Barbecue.

Why not something like Shanshan's Barbecue?

Master Qi's Barbecue.

It sounds delicious.

Who is it?

It's me.

Ms. Jiang.

Am I not welcome?

Welcome.

Please come in.

This is your studio in the show, right?

It's really nice.

Small but well-equipped.

This kitchen...

Do you live here?

Yes, I live and work here.

It's nice and cozy.

Please have a seat.

Alright.

Ms. Jiang, what would you like to drink?

Tea or coffee?

Don't worry about it.

Plain water will do.

Alright.

You know, Borman is really unreliable.

They made grand promises.

Here's your water.

Thanks.

Of course,

you can't comment much on this.

After all, you once worked there before.

Ms. Jiang, why did you come to see me today?
