[Happy birthday, Hubby]

[Outstanding Contribution Award]

Bian Liang.

Bian Liang, time to get up.

Are you up, Bian Liang?

Xiaofang.

Wake up, Xiaofang.

Did you sleep late again?

Grandpa made me play games

with him last night.

That's your grandpa.

Making

his grandson play online games with him. I 'm

his grandson. Could I not have obliged?

sure my dad is scared of his dad.

Just think of it as I'm carrying out filial duty for my dad.

Bian Liang.

Bian Liang.

Bian Xiaofang.

I heard your nonsense.

Tastes great.

Listen, Xintong

. in our new house.

Especially the sunlight. Look.

You can see the whole street.

I feel so lucky.

That's why there's a reason

for the high price tag.

I'm glad I gritted my teeth

and made the bid there and then.

It was worth it.

Sure, a big house is nice.

But does it fit our capability?

The monthly repayment is such a huge burden.

Are you doubting my ability?

Without the pressure,

h ow would I have my stimulating motivation?

Never mind all that.

Just tell me if you like it.

Of course I do.

That's it then.

By the way,

the agent handling Xiaofang's moving abroad.

Make sure you pay attention.

The agent

is all talk and no action.

No matter what it is,

by this time next year,

you and Xiaofang

will be on the other side of the ocean,

fulfilling your dream of studying abroad.

Am I right?

Xiaofang, come out.

Eat your breakfast.

Come back home early tonight, okay?

Sure, I'll be home early.

Got it. I'll be home late.

What was that?

I just don't want to be the third wheel.

.

You better not go to your grandpa

and play games again tonight.

I'm not.

Who's that so early?

Hello. Are you Mr. Bian?

I am.

This is from a lady called Miss Fu.

I am Miss Fu.

Hello , this is yours.

Thank you.

What's this?

Did you forget it's your birthday today?

Thanks. Thank you.

Look at me. How could I forget that?

Today, on my birthday,

I'm going to be promoted to deputy manager .

I sn't this a double celebration?

Your husband's future is limitless.

Dad, you're going to be late.

Right

, I'm short on time.

Today is an important day

.

Finding a caretaker for your dad is so hard.

Right, my dad is very particular.

He'll need someone

who is mild-mannered,

has a friendly face,

and looks approachable.

He's hard to please.

Okay, that's it for now.

I'm off, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Wait for me. Bye.

Happy birthday.

What is this?

Does being rich mean you can do whatever?

Hello, building management?

I'm in the parking lot of Block 23 .A

car is parked in front of my car,

I can't get out.

Go slowly. This car is expensive.

To the right a little.

Slowly does it.

Okay, to the front

. left.

Stop, stop!

Did you start drinking tea?

Mr. Liao.

Where is Bian Liang?

He didn't pick up my calls.

What's going on?

Today is his big day, but he isn't here.

Supposed to announce the news?

Left...

Hey, stop. Stop!

Th ere's no space.

Be careful.

Go and check if the higher-ups have arrived.

Okay.

I'll go check too, Mr. Liao

.

Mr. Dai.

Hello.

This way, please.

Hello, Mr. Dai.

They're here, Mr. Liao.

Mr. Liao.

Welcome. Come this way.

Here's the thing, Mr. Liao

. . Dong Xiao,

will be representing Mr. Zhao

in conducting a comprehensive assessment

of each department in Hera Group.

Pardon me for being five minutes early.

A comprehensive assessment?

I thought it was a new appointment.

So it's an assessment.

I didn' t hear anything from Mr. Zhao.

Please have a seat.

Here.

Thank you.

The personnel adjustment for the company's various departments

had been submitted to the board of directors long ago.

How come you're only doing the assessment now

? the board has received

the personnel adjustment plan.

But you didn't give any time

for them to discuss.

Mr. Zhao

has invested a lot in Hera Group.

It's only right to have a better understanding

of the group's foundations

in order to make better plans for future growth.

Our plans for growth are always clearly outlined.

Hera Automobile Sales Company y

has been established for

nearly...

20 years.

Nearly 20 years.

As the country 's earliest

automobile manufacturing and sales enterprise,

we wouldn't have

survived

for so long

if we didn't have a clear direction. Group

has a new boss.

Everyone's job

is to assist in the assessment.

I'm like you.

Assessment is my job.

Mr. Liao.

Mr. Zhao is fine with your

personnel plan

for the management team.

leadership.

Thank you.

Is everyone... here?

Everyone...

We're missing Mr. Bian. He is...

I asked him to make arrangements for the after-party.

else.

After all, making sure the headquarters representatives

are well taken care of so they can do their job

is also a key part

of the overall assessment.

How thoughtful of you, Mr. Liao.

You got Mr. Bian

to take charge of such an important matter.

As expected of your most treasured discipline.

I've scanned the code.

[Hera Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.]

Morning, Mr. Bian.

M orning, Mr. Bian.

Are the higher-ups here?

A long time ago.

Hi, Mr. Bian.

Morning, Mr. Bian.

Mr. Bian, why are you so late?

Hurry up.

mention it.

Put this away for me.

Okay.

[Meeting Room]

Mr. Bian.

Where is everybody?

The meeting's over.

Mr. Liao wants to see you in his

office

.

Our sales company will do our best to support you.

To cooperate with Ms. Dong in the assessment.

Is Dong your actual surname?

Dong as in "winter".

That's odd. Is Dong

listed in the "Hundreds of Chinese Surnames"? Yes, sure.

Yes, Dong.

Dong Xiao. Interesting.

Rest assured, sir.

Okay, that's all then.

What are you doing here?

Happy birthday, Mr. Bian.

Happy...

Happy, yes, happy

. You know each other?

We are...

Yes, we used to be good friends.

Old classmates.

Yes, we were classmates.

That's right.

What a coincidence.

Indeed.

Coincidence... Yes...

Alright, I'll step outside.

You two catch up.

No, that's fine.

Let me introduce you.

He is our bo ss, my superior.

He's also my mentor.

He's Hera Automobile Sales'...

She already knows.

Ms. Dong is here on behalf of the group chairman

to conduct an assessment of Hera Group's

acquisition plan.

Assessment?

Why? Am I not welcomed?

Not at all.

Of course you're welcomed.

Assessment on what exactly?

You know, they 're putting us on a scale

and checking how much we weigh.

It's been a while.

It's been some time, yes.

Congratulations to our leader on his promotion!

Deputy Manager Bian.

Oh, stop it.

That's enough.

Have you finished your work?

You're embarrassing yourself.

Get back to work.

Wait, what's this?

Did

n't

the higher-ups come

because they were going to announce your...

It didn't happen.

But I haven't gotten the chance

to show off what I've prepared.

Go ahead and show it to him then.

Now what?

Something must have happened.

But the meeting today went well, no?

Yeah, the headquarters sent a representative , right?

That's right.

How should I

know? We've prepared so hard

and didn't get to show it.

Gosh.

well.

It was as good as confirmed.

Should I...

Alright, stop making assumptions.

Our sales numbers

are on the up and up

among the 36 cities in five provinces.

We have nothing to worry about so long as we have our results .We

can celebrate at any time.

There are plenty of opportunities.

Yes.

What you have to think about now

is where we should go this year for the team-building event.

We'll go anywhere you choose.

And you can take your family along.

Bravo, Mr. Bian!

Hold on.

The most crucial part is the wrapping up.

Make sure we wrap things up on a high note.

That's the key, okay?

-Got it

. it!

I'll be off.

Go on.

[Bian Liang, Outstanding Achievement Award]

Mr.

Bian. They

didn't announce it today?

I wonder if that's a good thing or not.

adjustment plan.

Plus, our sales results this year

were incredible.

So, what's the reason

for the higher-ups' decision?

Are we in a position to figure out what is in their mind

? you get better if you don't figure it out?

Get better?

I'll be the one to move up anyway.

Why

are you so anxious? Are

you waiting for me to give up the spot for you?

such thing.

Stop teasing me, Mr. Bian.

I... I'm just thinking on your behalf.

Really. I mean, you've been in the sales department

for such a long time, right?

It's only right for you to climb up the ranks.

The board has its own points to consider.

Logically speaking,

carrying out an assessment at this time

is very normal

from a professional standpoint.

But I didn't expect

to get this other surprise.

What other surprise

? asking so much.

If you ask me,

considering your mentor-mentee relationship with Mr. Liao,

it's about time you receive a formal acknowledgment.

I think now that Mr. Wang is leaving,

you'll surely be promoted.

Then you'll be able to command the ship and we will...

What's this smell coming off your head?

The smell from my head?

See, I've been using vinegar and ginger mix.

It's to help with hai r growth.

My hair has been falling a lot.

Vinegar and ginger mix?

Why didn't you add soy sauce too?

Why do I bother joking with you?

Anyway,

go ahead and get me some coffee.

Nanshan coffee. (*mispronounced Blue Mountain Coffee)

Nan... What's that?

Never mind. Just get it.

Nan... Nanshan coffee.

Quickly.

What kind of coffee is that?

Are you moving in?

I reckon you won't like the coffee we have.

The usual brand

.You still remember my coffee preference.

As expected of our veteran lifestyle committee. You

're looking good.

Just more mature than before.

There's a dash more elegance.

I mean, it's been quite many years.

My kid's about to finish junior high school.

Do you have a boy or a girl?

I'm single.

Single?

Is that odd?

That's normal. Nowadays,

getting married and having kids

are no longer requirements for career women.

So a career woman has to be single, huh ?

I mean, I 'm just happy to see you

doing well.

I was thinking about

who I should begin the assessment with.

How about this?

Let's start with the first person

to enter my office.

Okay.

with the assessment

as the head of the sales department.

Did you think

the headquarters sent someone

to announce your new appointment?

umors. But I

think it's better this way.

Because you're here. A nice surprise.

A nice surprise?

Are you sure it's not a shock?

Why would it be a shock?

We met after such a long time.

really curious

how you've been, away for so long.

Let's call Yu Guang

and meet up.

Do you really think

I'm here to reminisce about the past?

Have you forgotten about what happened

between us?

My losy memory

. , the past years...

Gosh. The past...

Why talk about the past, right?

It's all in the past.

Besides, there can't be any good

that comes from digging up a cesspit.

You get what you throw in.

At least it's something to talk about.

Let's just focus on the work.

No more reminiscing?

Sure, email me your sales records

for the past five years.

Five...

My email address is written here.

.

Pleased to work with you.

Dong Xiao has returned?

What does she look like?

Did she become prettier?

More charming than before?

Are you feeling

a little excited again?

Excited, my foot.

eing suffocated.

I had thought it was a good thing too.

It turns out that we were too naive.

Too childish.

Do me a favor.

I'll help you for sure.

But what's the deal?

Is it because more than 20 years ago,

not only did you break up with her,

but you also did something horrible to her?

Otherwise, why would she

still be so upset with you after all these years?

Don't take it too seriously.

I guess Dong Xiao

was just kidding with you.

It better be.

Don't you think

we should give her a proper welcome back?

At the same time, you could put in a good word for me.

Get a chance to suss her out

and find out what exactly she's after.

So next time if she attacks,

we'd be ready for it.

Okay, I'll plan something.

Tonight it is then.

Tonight?

How come you seem more anxious than me?

It's because I don't want you to lose sleep over it.

It's for your own good.

I don't have her contact though.

I do.

Okay.

Hello?

I haven't finished...

[Dong Xiao]

Hey.

I'm celebrating my birthday tonight.

Xintong and my boy are waiting at home.

So I can't make it tonight.

Never mind. Let's do it tonight.

I have a feeling things would go south

if I don't settle this.

Xintong.

No need to find me a caretaker.

I'm fine by myself.

You left a whole load of dirty clothes.

The house is a mess.

You need someone to look after you.

Don' t you forget.

I was a scout.

I'm used to being away on my own

to carry out missions.

I know you were a soldier.

But you promised Bian Liang that you'd have a caretaker.

Honor your word.

I' ve told you.

I can look after myself.

Did you guys let me honor my word?

Right?

If you must say it like that,

how many times have you promised me and Bian Liang

not to make Xiaofang play games with you?

But then , you even gave him your account

and made him level it up for you. He 's

taking the high school entrance exam soon.

Did he say that himself?

Yeah.

That

lousy teammate.

He was the one...

Never mind.

the thing.

I'm grateful that you and Bian Liang

care so much about me.

But my opinion on the caretaker matter remains the same.

See, I'm doing well on my own.

Why do I need to have a caretaker

? the s omebody telling me when to eat,

when to take medicine, when to drink,

when to pee...

When to get up and move,

when to do this and that.

I'm doing just fine, am I not?

If that's how it's going to be, then I'll pass.

It won't.

I'll find one that fits the bill.

Stop playing games.

Eat some fruits.

Let me put that away.

Nice, what a good idea to have a cake .

Now I can save on two food orders.

Dad, today is Bian Liang's birthday.

I bought the cake for him.

Come over for dinner later.

What?

It's not for me?

Why would young people

keep celebrating birthdays

?

Sure, take it back then.

Give it to the old birthday boy.

I'll keep it here.

I 'll buy him another one.

No, it's okay. Let him have it.

That lucky dude.

.

(All done.)

(I'll send you the address later.)

Hey, dear.

The headquarters

sent someone here to do an assessment.

The company chose our department to start the assessment with.

For the sake of Mr. Liao,

I have to show my positive attitude.

So I'm g oing to be

a little late tonight.

Sorry about that.

You and Xiaofang can eat first.

Save a piece of cake for me.

Love you.

[Dear] (Okay, try to come back earlier.)

(Happy birthday.)

(We 'll be waiting for you.)

Bian Liang.

Yu Guang called me

to arrange a dinner gathering tonight.

Did you give him my number?

Why didn't you just call me yourself?

Well...

I simply mentioned it to Yu Guang .I

said we could have a gathering.

I didn't expect him to ask you so soon.

He sure is impatient.

I said yes.

That dude.

He didn't tell me.

I'll deal with him later.

So, Are you going or not?

Today, I have a date with my family.

But since Yu Guang already asked you,

then we can meet up first.

We will finish up quickly.

Alright.

Then we'll leave together from the office.

I 'll hitch a ride with you.

She has to be kidding...

I'm sorry.

I'm not in the office.

I've gone out.

How about this?

I'll get the address from Yu Guang.

Let's meet at the restaurant later.

Where are you?

I'm currently at...

The development area in the south.

It's around...

It's somewhere called Second Street.

You probably don't know the place.

Later, I'll...

(I'm currently at...)

(The development area in the south.)

(It's around...)

(It's somewhere called Second Street.)

(You probably don't know the place.)

No, I mean...

The development area.

It's...

Right.

What

am I doing here?

I

've been watching you. Right...

The

client, you know.

... I worried I wouldn't be back in time.

Sorry about that.

Let's just head off then.

I have all my things.

Let's go.

Yes, let's get going.

Hard to imagine, huh?

Seriously, time flies.

Whoosh.

Time flies.

[Hua's BBQ]

It does indeed.

Please enjoy, guys.

It's busy today. So I can't stay and chat.

Hua.

You recognize her?

A rare customer.

In the past, whenever I came,

you 'd always give me a complimentary saury dish.

Dong Xiao.

The pretty lady.

How could I forget?

Listen.

Bian Liang is a regular here.

He'd often grumble to me about you two.

How you two were...

Your customers are waiting.

You should get back to work, Hua.

Yeah, alright.

Thanks.

Enjoy yourself.

Xiao, you really did not hing to your face?

It's been more than 20 years.

If I had bumped into you on the street,

I'd have thought it was your daughter.

Still such a smooth talker.

You're not too bad yourself.

You haven't become too greasy.

You sure? He's pretty much dripping oil.

Come on.

She's giving a sincere appreciation.

I can sense her sincerity.

And I like what I heard.

Come on.

Let's drink to that.

Come on.

the same.

I'm the openly affectionate kind. Whereas

he is the quietly affectionate kind.

There's a good saying.

You can avoid overly friendly people, but silent predators are difficult to keep away.

Back in the day,

you dragged me along

to confess your feelings to Dong Xiao.

But he ran away last minute.

He ran off.

At last, I became a laughingstock in front of the whole class.

I ended up

being laughed at by my goddess, Dong Xiao.

That happened so long ago .

Not like it's something to brag about.

Why are you making a joke out of it again?

I'm being consider.

I'm sacrificing myself

so that you two

could be reminded of the past, good memories.

If there's anything unhappy

or grudges

between you two,

let's forget it all.

Bury the

hatchet.

We've moved past it, right?

purely sentiments.

But it's no longer pure now, right?

Is this meal

for the sake of your deputy manager position?

Dong Xiao.

Regarding this, I have to speak up for Bian Liang.

The moment he learned of your return,

he called me up.

And asked me

to set up a gathering

so we could catch up

and have a few drinks together.

He's really glad.

I mean, it's like this.

We go way back.

So the connection is there.

After all, we've known each other since high school.

Really.

We're already at this age.

Be it for the good of the family

or for ourselves,

we're at that momentous point in our careers.

Now, you 're here.

me if I have any personal agendas,

I'm pretty sure I do have some.

So I'd like to know what exactly is in your mind.

Of course, I may be the only one reading too much into it.

Since you asked,

I'll be honest with you then.

The reason I came back is to go after you.

Hold on.

No need to be so courteous.

That's what I like about Dong Xiao.

She always speaks her mind.

On the contrary, you always beat around the bush.

When we were together back then,

you said you were going to marry me .

So I came back

to make sure you keep your word.

Stop it, Xiao.

Now, this is a serious matter.

You've been away

living abroad for too long.

You don't know how things work here in China.

First of all, he's a married man.

You know,

a divorce is a convoluted process.

I've waited for over 20 years.

A few more months is not a problem.

Also ,

you probably met your wife after me.

make me a homewrecker.

Why are you doing this?

I, Dong Xiao, have waited for you for more than 20 years.

I flew halfway around the world

just so you would marry me.

What is it?

I... I thought you fell asleep.

The window...

I didn't want you to catch a cold from the wind.

I like having the wind in my face.

I like the breeze in this city.

The breeze from the sea feels soft.

The gowns in that wedding studio look nice.

Do you mean what you said

just now?

What do you think?

I waited for you for over 20 years?

You think too highly of yourself.

My goodness...

So you were kidding

. ..

I got happy for a moment there.

You just brought me back to the real world.

You haven't changed.

You're still wild and crazy.

I wear

perfume.

nothing.

Smells pretty nice.

Why air it?

This is nothing.

Just air it. I know you want to.

Your cowardly

look is exactly what I'm after.

Will the scent disappear

just by airing it?

're breaking traffic laws.

Take it back in. Quickly.

I got you!

We're here.

You take care.

Aren't you going to walk me up?

Today has been fun.

Seeing you back...

Today has really been

a happy day.

It's too late.

You should head back and rest.

Yes...

How happy?

No, I mean...

Look how scared you are.

Not at all. I...

How about this?

Tomorrow,

I can pick you up on the way.

We'll go to the off ce together.

Okay ?

Promise

? Yes

, of course.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Sir,

I

'm getting off here

. it dry-cleaned tomorrow.

Oh, it

's okay.

Leave it there for now.

Why did you come back so late?

I didn't notice the time. Gosh.

Where

is Xiaofang?

.

You didn't eat it?

No.

Well...

Well, why don't we have it

for breakfast tomorrow?

Okay.

I'll put it in the fridge then.

Okay.

I'm going upstairs to shower.
