(Only For Love)

(Episode 15)

What are you doing?

I'm taking a cab to my hotel.

This is your hotel.

Zhanlan is nearby, so I booked a room here.

You also need to go to Zhanlan and do some follow-up interviews,

so you're staying here with me.

Staying with you?

What's wrong?

Don't you want to?

(If I refuse, would I seem pretentious?)

(If I don't refuse, what does this make us?)

Mr. Shi, this doesn't feel appropriate.

What's not appropriate?

Hello, your luggage has been delivered.

Go on,

what's not appropriate?

It's not appropriate for you to hold my card.

Shan Shan,

I was in the car just now.

Shi Yan was sitting right next to me.

(And he heard everything you said.)

He heard me? That's perfect.

It's a good push for him.

(Don't tell me he still hasn't made any move after hearing what I said?)

Well, not exactly.

(I'm actually in the hotel where he's staying...)

Then why are you still calling me?

I'm in the room across from his.

Shi Yan is incapable.

That's nonsense.

Did something happen between you now?

(Don't you know that traveling is the best chance)

(for a man and a woman to foster a relationship?)

You have to seize this opportunity.

I have to go.

I have an interview tomorrow. Bye.

He's okay.

Professor Yu, you got a parcel.

Thanks.

(Who are these from?)

(After a thorough investigation and testing by our technical team, )

(it has been determined that the accident was not)

(directly related to the battery's quality itself.)

(Zhanlan's batteries have consistently maintained high-quality control.)

(So, we'd like to reassure all car owners, you can drive without worries.)

They're in such a rush to do damage control

without releasing the investigation results.

I can't help but feeling things aren't as simple as they seem.

(Can you send me your upcoming work schedule?)

She's shy.

The day after tomorrow, Zhanlan.

- Hello. - (Hello, Miss Zheng.)

(I'm Mr. Jiang's secretary.)

(I'm calling to confirm the interview time with you.)

(When will you be coming to the company tomorrow?)

(I will arrange for your reception.)

I'm already in...

Sorry about that.

Something has come up for me tomorrow.

Can we reschedule the interview for the day after tomorrow?

(Just a moment. Let me check Mr. Jiang's schedule.)

(That's fine. We'll reschedule for the day after tomorrow at 10 am.)

- Is that okay? - Yes, thank you.

(Tomorrow morning, we'll review the business contract.)

(After lunch, we can get to know Zhanlan)

(and explore the city it's located in.

(Okay.)

(See you in the afternoon.)

(Have an early night. Good night.)

(Good night.)

Here.

So, what kind of relationship trouble do you have?

I've known you for so long,

and you've never once invited me out for a drink.

If you're asking me out and not Shi Yan,

it can only mean you have some relationship issues.

I'll cut to the chase then.

I want to know how to reject a girl

without hurting her feelings.

If you're thinking of rejecting her,

yet you're concerned about hurting her feelings?

Are you sure you don't like her?

It's not what you think.

Then what is it?

I think the girl probably sees it

as a fun and exciting thing.

That's why...

She's so involved in this "game".

She might not be serious,

just caught up in the moment.

Most importantly,

I don't think we're compatible.

A game?

What does "compatible" mean to you?

Bottoms up!

Keep drinking!

Don't stop!

- Go on! - Come on!

So, what should I do

to extricate myself from this "game"?

After everything you just said,

the truth is, you've actually stopped seeing this as just a game.

Since you think she's treating you as a game,

why worry about not hurting her?

Between men and women, if things could drag on for so long,

it's unlikely that only one party has feelings

while the other doesn't.

If you're not interested, just reject her.

That's the only way to truly avoid causing harm.

Otherwise, you're just leading her on.

What's wrong?

Don't you have classes tomorrow?

You should go home.

All right. I'll leave first. Don't stay up too late.

You lost again.

Drink!

Who is this guy?

I don't know.

What is he doing?

Who is this?

- I don't know him. - I don't know him either.

Hi, I'm Shan Shan's friend.

- You should join us. - Take my seat.

- Thanks. - Sit down, man.

Sit.

- Let's carry on then. - Again.

You lost again, Shan Shan!

You lost again. Drink.

I'll drink.

Shan Shan is already drunk. I'll drink for her.

Are you playing a knight and saving a damsel in distress now?

- You have to drink double if you want to help her. - That's right.

- That's right. You will have to drink double. - Double.

No problem.

Let's play again.

Come on.

I'm done playing.

It's not fun.

Shan Shan, you're being a buzzkill.

Weren't you the one who said you were in a bad mood and invited us here?

It's my bad.

I'll empty this glass as an apology.

You...

Guan Ji?

Guan Ji?

Room service.

Miss Bi, Mr. Guan had to leave earlier for some business.

This is the breakfast he asked us to prepare for you.

There are Chinese and Western options.

Mr. Guan also instructed us to bring you

yogurt and mulberry juice to help with your hangover.

And here's a change of clothes

that Mr. Guan just delivered.

If you need anything, please let us know.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

You look nice in black.

I like you in black.

(I have things to attend to in the morning.)

(Come see me when you wake up.)

Are we here to learn more about Zhanlan?

That's right. Jiang Shao Yuan, the head of Zhanlan, is a native of Ancheng

and a well-known local entrepreneur.

He has frequently mentioned

the bustling Xiaguang Temple,

which draws crowds of visitors.

Ten years ago, Mr. Jiang returned to his hometown to establish Zhanlan.

Since then, he has expanded and strengthened the company,

contributing to the local economy.

Whenever he gets the chance,

he talks about the natural beauty of his hometown

and encourages tourists to come to Ancheng.

So, to understand Zhanlan, you have to first understand Jiang Shao Yuan.

And to understand Jiang Shao Yuan,

how can you not visit Xiaguang Temple, which he often recommends?

What's wrong, Mr. Shi?

You did your homework last night, huh?

Did you spend a lot of time memorizing that?

As journalists, it's important to have substantiated information.

Naturally, we have to do our homework before speaking.

Watch your step.

If you fall, we won't get to learn more about Mr. Jiang today.

All your homework would be in vain.

I won't fall.

I'll send you the photos later.

Okay.

Hey, handsome and beautiful,

you two have such high levels of attractiveness.

You're the most well-matched couple I've seen today.

- We're not... - May I help you?

You might not know,

but today is the last day Xiaguang Temple is open to the public.

It'll be closed for six months starting tomorrow.

You two really lucked out.

It's such a rare opportunity. How about

I take a photo of you as a keepsake?

No wonder there are so many people here today.

We really got lucky.

Do you want to take a photo?

It's my first time here,

and I don't know when I'll be back.

Taking a picture for a keepsake sounds meaningful, right?

Yes, exactly.

This way, please.

This has the best view.

Come.

Guys, let's act more natural and intimate.

Beautiful, stand closer to handsome.

Closer, please.

And sweeter.

Don't look so serious, handsome.

Cheer up.

You have such a nice smile, handsome.

Beautiful, smile more too.

There you go. Yes.

One, two, three.

This is a nice one.

You look so sweet.

How do you put it again?

You make a great match.

Take a look at it.

Thank you. It looks really nice.

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.

99 yuan for two photos.

Add me on WeChat, and transfer me the money.

I'll send you the photos.

That's so expensive.

Miss, that's the couple package price.

What's the regular price then?

The regular price is 50 yuan per photo.

How cheap. It's discounted by one yuan.

Ninety-nine is a auspicious number.

Wishing you both a long and happy relationship.

I'll edit the photos and send them to you.

As an extra, I'll also give you a guide.

There's a place over there for fortune-telling.

Couples love going there.

Go there and have your fortune read.

May you have a long and happy life together.

Enjoy your visit.

Hey, handsome and beautiful,

you two have such high levels of attractiveness.

You're the most well-matched couple I've seen today.

The lines are exactly the same.

He calls everyone handsome and beautiful.

We really can draw fortune stick here.

It's good fortune.

The God of Matchmaker might have played tricks with them,

but the lovers are already deeply in love.

What does this mean?

Anyone who wants to have your fortune read, please come here.

Sir, what does my fortune stick mean?

Miss, you've drawn a "great blessing" stick.

This is a great blessing.

However, this means that you started off your relationship wrong,

with some twists and turns.

I thought it was a good fortune stick?

Don't worry.

Despite you started it off wrong, your match has shown up.

You have found your destined love.

You must be wholeheartedly committed to him.

You two are a match made in heaven.

(So, I'm deeply in love, )

(but I didn't realize it.)

(God of Matchmaker did play a trick on me.)

(Shi Yan is Qin Le Zhi's uncle.)

(But it says "lovers are already deeply in love,")

(does that mean he is already...)

Thank you.

Thank you very much, sir. I hope what you said would come true.

Goodbye.

Do you really believe in this?

Why not?

A match made in heaven, what more could I ask for?

Come on. Let's go.

Grandpa, look.

Why are all the sticks in this bamboo tube good fortune sticks?

That man stood there for a long time.

He must've tampered with them.

You're still little.

You don't get it.

This is a heavenly-bestowed good match.

Though heaven bestows it,

it still requires human effort.

Zheng Shu Yi, watch your step.

Now, you don't have to worry about me.

When are you going to Zhanlan?

I was supposed to go today, but because of you...

Because of me what?

Because you're going tomorrow,

so I rescheduled for the day after tomorrow.

I watched Zhanlan's news yesterday.

I noticed that they're all saying

the accident has nothing to do with their batteries,

but they aren't providing any evidence.

Right now, they're in a critical phase of fundraising.

My guess is they're trying to downplay the incident.

So I'm going with you to Zhanlan tomorrow to find out more,

see if we can gain some insights.

That way, I can be better prepared for the interview.

That's why I rescheduled the interview.

But thanks to that,

I got to enjoy a day trip in Ancheng with you.

So, I'm still the one benefiting from this.

We still have time, let's move on to the next destination.

- There's another one? - Remember I did my homework.

Two yellow croaker noodles, one without onions.

Got it. Wait a moment.

You really do love noodles.

(Shu Yi, when are you coming back?)

(Have you finished your article?)

(I'm struggling and suffering right now.)

(I need your rescue.)

(I'll be back in a couple of days.

(With the way things are, I can't last another day.)

(While you're at it, why don't you work even harder?)

(I'll send you some information about Zhanlan.)

(Gather more information about them based on that.)

(Shu Yi, you're so cruel to me.)

(Leave it to me.)

(I'm bound to mess it up.)

Hi. Two yellow croaker noodles.

- Thank you. - Please enjoy.

(Uncle.)

(I'm overwhelmed with work.)

(Uncle, when are you coming back?)

(In a couple of days.)

(Why are you also coming back in a couple of days?)

(I've been working, and I haven't even had dinner yet.)

(I'm so pitiful.)

(I don't care.)

(You must bring me some souvenirs and snacks)

(to console my wounded heart and weary soul.)

(I will.)

Not paying attention while eating is bad for your stomach.

I was texting my niece.

What does she want from you?

Nothing much. She was nagging me for souvenirs.

It's funny how rich people want everything.

Even things belong to other people.

Even souvenirs from a small town.

You're so different.

Shi Yan, what do you really want?

No matter what you want,

have you ever considered your father and your family's feelings?

Have you ever considered my feelings?

I've told you what I want,

but you never understand me.

I truly don't understand.

You already have so much.

Why would you give up all of it?

Why do you want so many things, things that are so different?

Have you ever thought about what I want?

Do I even have a place

in your life plan?

Shi Yan,

let's break up.

But of course, you're different from other rich people.

Zheng Shu Yi.

Do you also think I'm unreasonable?

Not at all. I've never thought of you that way.

I've always seen you

as someone with strong ideas and opinions.

You work relentlessly

and make sacrifices for your ideals.

In a world with so many people,

if you were like everyone else, it would be dull.

Plus, you've got a great eye.

Really, especially in choosing me...

For Yunchuang's interview and special feature.

I also think

I've got great eye.

Oh, Yu You,

do you know

how tired I am?

If you do, why haven't you texted me?

(Let's chat for a minute.)

(Professor Yu, did you also just get off work?)

(Yes.)

(Since both of us are working late, )

(how about I treat you to a meal?)

(It's not necessary, thank you.)

He didn't say he's eaten already,

so it means he hasn't eaten yet.

(Are you having dinner with your girlfriend?)

(If you're not interested, just reject her.)

(That's the only way to truly avoid causing harm.)

(Otherwise, you're just leading her on.)

I don't have a girlfriend.

Yu You doesn't like men and doesn't have a girlfriend.

(I haven't done you any favors, )

(so, no need to treat me to a meal, Miss Qin.)

(You've done something for me.)

(You are chatting with me.)

(It's like a refreshing breeze on the river, )

(blowing away the gloom brought by work, )

(allowing me to bask in the sunshine once again.)

(For such a great favor, )

(I should at least treat you to ten meals.)

Miss Qin, you really don't have to.

(If your work pressure is too much, )

(you can try doing activities to relieve stress, )

like extreme sports.

Of course, don't push yourself too hard.

If it still doesn't relieve the stress,

consider looking for a different job.

Yu You, are you some kind of enlightened monk from a temple?

How come you have no interest in girls at all?

Thank you for hanging out with me today, Mr. Shi.

I'm going back to my room. See you tomorrow.

(Aren't you going to say anything?)

(When someone thanks you, you should at least say "You're welcome".)

You...

Yes?

Do you want to...

Why are you calling me at this hour?

- Aren't you out having fun? - I'm at home.

Don't worry about me.

How's it going with Shi Yan?

Not much going on. We've been working.

This is your prime time.

Yet you're calling me now. Something must be going on with you.

Are you trying to avoid a suitor?

How sharp and perceptive of you.

Tell me then, which base are you and Shi Yan on?

Have you held hands? Have you kissed?

What do you care? Mind your own business.

You can't keep avoiding him.

I'm hanging up now.

(You have found your destined love.)

(You two are a match made in heaven.)

(Do you have any idea how long Uncle Tian)

(bombarded me with questions in the office today?)

(He kept asking if your trip this time could seal the deal with Zhanlan.)

(I had to keep serving him tea.)

I'm telling you,

you better figure out how to handle this.

If they find out you have other plans,

they won't just let it slide.

(I got it.)

But

why did you leave Chen Sheng in Jiangcheng

and go to Ancheng by yourself?

Aren't you supposed to be out having fun tonight?

I...

I have things to do.

I have to go.

(I'm going to bed.)

(Don't stay up too late. See you tomorrow.)

(Good night.)

- Morning. - Morning.

We've been waiting for 20 minutes.

Did they say when they'd receive us?

Mr. Shi, I'm really sorry for keeping both of you waiting.

Mr. Jiang has been super busy today.

Allow me to show you around first.

After the tour, I'll take you to Mr. Jiang.

Thank you.

This way, please.

Mr. Jiang,

they are here.

Hello, Mr. Jiang.

Hello.

And this is...

This is my assistant.

Mr. Shi, coming to Ancheng this time,

did you and your assistant visit the Xiaguang Temple?

It has fantastic scenery.

- It's worth a visit. - We've been there.

Have a seat.

(Looks like Shi Yan has met a tough nut.)

Mr. Shi, you are a young talent.

Unlike our company, which has been around for over a decade.

We tend to be more conservative.

And we're rather cautious in choosing our partners.

We don't take risks easily.

You're right, we are young,

and that's why we embrace challenges

and aren't afraid of failure.

Yunchuang takes the partnership with Zhanlan very seriously.

For Yunchuang, the investment involved isn't a small sum either.

That's why we approach Zhanlan with great care.

That's also why I paid a personal visit this time.

So, Mr. Shi, what do you want to talk to me about?

Mr. Jiang, have you heard about the recent Hengxin new energy car accident

that happened in Jiangcheng?

No...

I haven't heard of it.

Coincidentally, my assistant was on that vehicle.

Perhaps she can share with you what happened at the time.

The e-hailing car I took that day was a Hengxin-branded car.

At the time of the accident, the car suddenly slowed down

and came to a stop without any warning,

leading to a rear-end collision by a car behind.

This sounds like the full responsibility of the e-hailing driver.

Any product carries uncertainties,

especially complex products like cars.

Various factors can lead to accidents.

Just like your investment firm,

can you guarantee that every project you invest in is risk-free?

Moreover, the driver still had 30% power left when making the turn.

That was purely an operational error,

unrelated to the battery.

Yunchuang, as an investment firm,

should evaluate the overall value and potential of a company,

rather than fixating on a single incident.

If that's the case,

I'm afraid it might be difficult

for Zhanlan and Yunchuang

to collaborate for long term.

Mr. Jiang, may I ask,

as an expert in the battery industry,

do you believe this incident was caused by the battery?

There have been 18 incidents like this recently.

Does Zhanlan have a solution

or a specialized team to address this?

Mr. Shi,

these questions involve our company's confidential information.

In that case, let's conclude our discussion here today.

- Okay. - Thank you for sharing your insights.

Six companies have made it through Zhanlan's first round of selection.

In the end, we will choose three of them.

Since you can afford to lose,

you'd better go back and find new projects quickly.

On your way back, think about

how you can explain

to the major shareholders of your company.

What's there to explain?

Mr. Shi personally communicated and conducted research,

confirming the investment risks.

After we return, we will choose a more sincere

and lower-risk project.

The shareholders are more than happy.

What is there to explain?

Should we explain that a large company like Zhanlan,

when faced with product issues,

doesn't try to resolve them promptly

but instead chooses to sweep them under the rug?

Before coming here, I held you in high regard.

I thought that you staying in your hometown to develop the business

and lead Zhanlan to become an industry leader

was sentimental and responsible.

But I never thought

the reality was so much different from my imagination.

Let's go.

(What is he thinking?)

(Is he worrying about)

(what I said earlier?)

(Yunchuang and Zhanlan's collaboration is probably off the table now.)

(Then he brought up the shareholders, )

(hitting a sore spot.)

(He's probably furious right now.)

(Oh no.)

(Is he going to book a flight back?)

Take us to Anne's Restaurant.

Got it, Mr. Shi.

Assistant Zheng, do you have any objections?

No, I just thought...

You thought what?

I thought you weren't hungry yet.

I'm hungry now.

Were what Mr. Jiang said earlier all true?

Do Yunchuang's shareholders really want you to secure Zhanlan?

Does that mean they don't know that you came to Ancheng to visit them?

And I said that to Mr. Jiang just now.

What are you going to do now?

Didn't you already say it for me?

After returning, we'll select

a more sincere and lower-risk collaboration partner.

Are you sure it's okay?

Miss Zheng, do you have any more questions?

Regarding this investment,

my views differ from those of several board members.

That incident served as a reminder,

which is why I visited them personally.

I can accept products that aren't perfect,

but I cannot accept an attitude of avoiding issues.

If there are issues with Zhanlan's batteries

and no solution is in sight,

the investment risk for Yunchuang would be too high.

So,

you were right.

What you said at Zhanlan just now

is exactly what I intend to tell the shareholders when I return.

And

your wording was precise.

Your words were forceful and direct. You hit the nail on the head.

You've set a great example for me.

Aren't you hungry?

Waiter, we're ready to order.

Did you tell Mr. Fan the wrong place?

He can't make it, he has something to attend to.

He can't make it?

Then I'll call for a cab.

I don't ride in other people's cars.

Then shall we continue waiting?

We could also walk.

Walk?

Do you really want to walk? It's a bit far.
