Check out your new place.

Take a few more pictures.

(I adopted a light palette and a semi-open partition wall,)

(turning the bedroom into a living room.)

(To maximize interior lighting,)

(I created windows on the wall blocked by cabinets,)

(enhancing the spatial transparency.)

(I elevated the bedroom using the ample high-ceiling space,)

(and moved the external staircase indoors,)

(enhancing the sense of space layering.)

Really nice.

It's pretty good.

Bu Ran

is pretty impressive.

(Renovating such an old house)

(is incredible.)

♪Let the castle be surrounded by love♪

Will you introduce me to your family when I defeat Bu Ran?

Of course.

Grandma really appreciates those who are capable.

Who's there?

Lu Cenyang.

Are you childish?

Why are you acting like a thug?

I'm not acting like a thug.

The president of Pinshang is a sore loser,

and resorts to such petty tactics?

Are you afraid to do it openly?

Chen Manni competed by hiring a stand-in,

and she never draw sketches,

relying on marketing and good looks to get popular.

Did you do it openly?

Lu Cenyang, stop slandering me.

Besides appearing on the show these days,

you've spent your time

hanging out with Yi Zihe.

Let me ask you.

When did you draw the design sketches?

When did you collect the materials?

Did you do that in the hotel's restaurant, pool,

or in bed?

You!

My assistants can realize my creative ideas.

Just like Taylor,

he doesn't have to deal with every design work.

Spatial renovation competition

is a contest between designers.

What the netizens want to see

is your design work

completed on your own.

Through your designs,

they want to feel the heart-stirring space

Your demeanor is dismissive.

Trying so hard

to become Lady Yi

is pointless.

So what?

We can just make netizens see what they

want to see, right?

I'm not gonna let Bu Ran defeated by you.

I had to share the proof that you've hired

a stand-in online.

Is this how I told you?

What's this?

(So, Chen Manni hired a stand-in for the contest.)

(I didn't expect she did that.)

(Is this how I told you?)

(What's this?)

(Guys, she ruined her reputation.)

(I really liked her before.)

(She let me down.)

(Really disappointing.)

(Competing by hiring a stand-in)

(is shameless.)

(This guy is so ugly.)

(How could Chen Manni kiss it?)

Zihe.

Zihe, what should we do?

I asked you to keep a low profile.

You said it was for the marketing.

You wanna be criticized in public.

Don't pull me down.

Yi Zihe!

Open the door.

What do you mean?

Open it!

Open the door!

Yi Zihe, are you still acting like a man?

You left me here all alone.

How am I gonna get back?

Yi Zihe!

My bag!

My bag is still in your car!

I wonder who helped us

turn the tide at the last second.

Thanks a lot!

We are relieved.

So let's enjoy our breakfast.

The wontons and xiaolongbao here are delicious.

What a coincidence.

The BBQ is really tasty too.

Together next time.

Boss, two wonton servings, please.

Two xiaolongbao steamers.

Take a seat.

When Mr. Lu couldn't squeeze in time for breakfast before,

I'd bring him some too.

Recently, he's had meals before arriving.

I haven't been here in ages.

Let's give him a serving today.

These days,

I feel like I'm on edge all day

while persistent site issues occur. I was afraid of being defeated by Yihua.

Fortunately, I haven't let anyone down.

Hey!

I've just joined the Extraordinary Place

to marry Yi Zihe.

You and Lu Cenyang are to blame.

You've ruined my happiness.

You'd better understand

Yi Zihe toyed with your love.

That's why you lost so badly.

Had you not meddled,

I'd have met the Yi Family by now.

With your reputation,

why do you fret over a scumbag like Yi Zihe?

You could rely on your own strength

to be respected.

So what?

How long must a designer struggle

to live the ideal life?

What's the benefit of minor fame?

Anyone can critique the design,

and everyone can meddle.

Marry a wealthy handsome guy,

and have no concerns about clients.

Isn't that good?

My admired senior,

how could you have such negative thoughts?

My boss once said

accomplished individuals

don't need for extras

to boost their self-assurance.

It's the same in romantic relationships.

Your talent and ability breed your confidence.

Creating your own empire is the surest method.

Men aren't necessary for success.

Why are you laughing?

It's ironic you advanced by relying on a man,

and you still have the guts to lecture others?

Even a fool can see

Lu Cenyang likes you.

He made an effort to help you defeat me.

Stop playing the innocent one.

In the end,

what's the difference between us?

Are you done talking?

Yi Zihe toyed with your love,

not Bu Ran.

Dispute with Yi Zihe.

Just leave, or I'll call the cops to escort you out.

Are you alright?

Anger makes people speak recklessly.

Just brush it off.

I'm fine.

Thank you, Ms. Yao.

Madam,

Zihe just had a bit of bad luck.

Experiencing some failures and setbacks

is helpful for his growth.

Aren't you very fond of him?

Kexin,

I've always anticipated

your son is more promising than mine.

But now it seems

he needs to marry a woman as capable as you.

Otherwise, I can't count on him in taking over family business.

I've still got to tackle this dusty office.

Why are you waiting?

Tidy up Mr. Yi's office.

Come on.

Thank you.

Why didn't Bu Ran come with you?

Auntie Wang,

isn't my visit enough?

I'm happy you're here.

It's just I'm especially fond of Bu Ran.

Considering she's single,

I'm ready

to set her up with someone.

There are great guys in my son's workplace.

They're tall and handsome.

Can't wait for her to choose.

Well, Auntie Wang,

Bu Ran is very picky.

No need to trouble you.

Well,

Bu Ran is so excellent,

and she won't

even like those I introduced.

Take a look at my new home.

How did she make it look so great?

My granddaughter always wants to come here every weekend.

I initially thought of her.

But now,

it's a bit too noisy.

Have some water.

Alright.

Granny, how much is this?

Ten yuan.

Then I'll take one.

Okay.

Take care on your way.

You always visit Auntie Wang

to check on my work?

It looks like my trip here is unnecessary.

The netizens have already given your work the thumbs up.

Congratulations on your victory.

Chen Manni has told me all about it.

Your helped me a lot,

guaranteeing that I just need to

compete by using my skills.

Keep working hard.

Sure, the boss always speaks like that.

It's not original.

(Even a fool can see)

(Lu Cenyang likes you.)

I must visit Auntie Wang

to shoot a project graduation photo

and to check for other matters to address.

Auntie Wang keeps raving about you.

She can't wait to set you up with someone.

Then I...

What?

You really want to go?

Have a walk with me.

I order you, as your boss.

Make sure to hang on tight!

You...

Park your e-scooter.

Let's walk.

Wait for me.

The ancient alley is where my dad used to live.

I've come back with him a few times.

The folks around here are friendly and down-to-earth.

In the business world for years,

I've adapted my speech for various audiences.

So, this place just feels like home.

The people and scenery here,

and the grass and trees

look more beautiful.

Elders all prefer a slow-paced life.

Inspired by you,

I've really started to like the vibe around here.

After you won the match,

you're brave as a lion.

You are so blunt.

I am joking.

The pace of life here

encourages people to stay calm.

It feels quite nice.

A slow life seems very close,

but in fact, it's luxurious.

Even I must wait

until Pinshang thoroughly defeats Yihua

before relocating here.

What's your definition of defeating Yihua?

When Yihua's business philosophy

can be the same as Pinshang's, and we can lead the industry

to bring more customers higher-quality

living spaces.

It'd also honor my dad's final wish.

Then you'll have to work hard.

What Yihua has always pursued

is scaling up and maximizing profit.

We must work together.

There and here as well.

During the blooming season, many jade cicada flowers will blossom.

The message of the jade cicada flowers is trust.

My dad believed in me.

So he entrusted me with the rest,

including his ideals for the whole industry.

Many colleagues assisted me at the firm.

With you

and all the teams,

we strive together

and we can definitely realize it.

Don't just pump me up.

Give me more challenges.

I'm really want to show what I can do.

Now's the time to tell you.

I've shared your designs with the local council.

It has bolstered their confidence in refurbishing the ancient alleys

to draw in visitors and boost revenue

to entice more youth back to their hometowns.

I'm ready to bid for the ancient alleys.

Looks like you got me to join Extraordinary Place

for this big move.

I'm aware of your strengths.

You help me clinch these prospective clients.

Now that you know I can be your vanguard,

don't ruin my design vibe.

It's really hampered my design skills.

Designing for Auntie Wang's place this time

was quite a tough job.

People with power tend to play by their own rules.

I must test you

to see if you will stay by my side

and weather the storm with me.

Don't move away

after being praised by me.

The company needs you more and more.

To make communication easier,

continue being my neighbor.

Look who's here!

What would you like to drink?

I excel at making a unique coffee blend.

Would you like to try?

It'll be ready soon.

Sorry,

I don't drink coffee in the afternoons.

I was inconsiderate.

Never mind.

Just another one of your specialties.

Sure.

Take a seat over there.

This contains milk with caramel added.

It helps with sleep.

Thank you.

I'm here today to book here.

Bu Ran's birthday is coming up.

I want to book here for her birthday party.

Bu Ran will be delighted

about your concern.

But if you're looking to celebrate her birthday,

she can cherish your intent.

Bu Ran isn't into that.

In fact, she resists that.

Some people dislike celebrating birthdays.

You're considerate.

Bu Ran is a foodie.

- Excluding the inability to drink. - Inability to drink.

What you said

shows that you really concern for Bu Ran.

The one you actually like is her, right?

Keep it to myself.

Silent adoration

is wonderful,

but aren't you worried someone might win her heart?

Bu Ran and I have been helping

each other out

since we first met.

Nobody can just shake up our relationship.

From what I know about her,

I bet she'd go for someone who steps up.

Since she dislikes birthday celebrations,

I won't book here for now.

I'll be leaving first.

Let's have a drink later, my treat.

Treat me once your wish comes true.

Be safe.

Who's this lady?

Lu Cenyang's secretary.

I never thought Bu Ran would hit it off with her.

Significant improvement.

Xu,

can I leave work a bit earlier today?

Bu Ran needs to attend an award ceremony.

Later, I'll take her for a barbecue.

Since you've told me this,

can I refuse?

Thanks, Xu.

You see?

Fortune Pavilion's vibe doesn't suit me.

Every time, a nail appears in front of my car.

Looks like I still gotta move.

You promised to renew the lease.

It's no use backing out now.

If it comes to it, you can hitch a lift with me.

You must keep your word.

You don't trust me?

Right,

aren't you attending tonight

the Extraordinary Place award ceremony?

I'll take you.

No need.

I've got plans to meet with Qin Xun tonight.

His house renovation nears completion.

I need to check it.

Did you decorate Qin Xun's new house?

How so?

Is the salary not enough to cover expenses?

You have to take on private work?

I'm not charging for it.

Besides, I'm doing it in my spare time.

Why do you seem lost?

Friendship thrives on reciprocity.

He got me a bunch of votes for defeating Chen Manni.

Plenty of people helped you get votes, not just him.

You designed his house,

monitored the renovation,

and now join him for meals.

What about me? I made an effort too.

Shall we dine together first?

Visit his house later.

Boss, it's your duty to contribute.

Are you going to fuss over this?

You're so petty.

The kids at the orphanage said

that we're a prince and a princess.

No,

a prince and a princess.

Let's get along better.

We can't burst the bubble of fairytales

in kids' hearts.

Have you ever heard of such a petty prince?

Then anyone can be a prince.

No time to talk.

I have to change and go.

Prince.

You've finished the Extraordinary Place,

and now you're here to help.

It's too hard on you.

I've ordered everything you like to eat.

Go ahead.

During the recording of Extraordinary Place,

Mr. Lu often had me over for meals.

Now that the show is over,

there's no more pressure.

Do I need to moderate my diet?

What are you talking about?

Can you refrain from it?

I won't spoil your intentions.

I'll just try a little.

If I eat too much, stop me.

Feel free to have as much as you like.

If you overeat, I'll diet with you.

Thanks for sparing time amid busyness

to help me with the renovation.

Congrats on winning the Extraordinary Place.

Cheers to a streak of luck coming our way!

You've been working hard too.

Busy with work

and busy cheering for me.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Your development continues to improve,

and I'm genuinely over the moon.

By the way,

Ms. Yao from Pinshang came to visit Old Pal's.

She said she wants to book the venue for your birthday party.

Why?

You've shot to fame with just one fight.

She is the second in command in Pinshang.

She sure wants to win you over.

Don't worry.

I said you're not fond of birthday party.

She's not trying to win me over.

Ms. Yao is quite a character.

When you're not familiar with her,

you might feel a bit of distance.

But once you get to know her better, you'll find

that she's kind and easy to get along with.

After all, I have to thank Mr. Lu's advising me

to foster rapport with colleagues.

That's how I gained such a great friendship.

Why does it sound like

Lu Cenyang's impact on you is becoming more noticeable?

What's wrong with picking up tips from the boss?

I promised you that

when I make it big,

I'll make sure you

find out who's your famous designer father.

Actually, I said that to motivate you.

It just slipped out.

It slipped my mind, actually.

You still let it get to you?

You've always been there for me.

There's finally a spot where I come in handy.

I have to try hard.

I'll often need your help going forward.

Better to do it sooner than later.

Dine at my home tomorrow night.

Sure.

Then it's a deal.

I will prepare a meal

even more lavish than now.

Remember to come early.

I'll tell the folks next door

you are my girlfriend,

a design world's big shot.

I pretend to be your girlfriend?

I'll need to hire a makeup artist

and dress up nicely before going.

You're just being humble.

I love your natural look.

Would you like to...?

You are Bu Ran from Extraordinary Place!

I love your designs.

I am studying spatial design.

Master,

can I get your autograph?

My handwriting is a bit ugly.

Seriously?

Your signature must be as beautiful as you are.

Thank you.

I've got my fans.

I've been misjudging Lu Cenyang,

thinking he puts me down.

Now it seems he has some skills.

He said he'd make me even better

and he did what he said.

Being praised by fans for my looks

feels quite nice.

I can eat two more skewers now.

Eat more.

Why isn't she back yet? It's getting late!

Ensuring building safety late into the night?

So diligent.

Will the property management fee rise again?

Mr. Lu?

It's not like that.

I just happened to pass by.

You should rest early.

What's the matter?

You

come back so late?

I...

Nothing.

I just had a quick word with the security guard.

I'll whip up some noodles.

Would you like some?

No, thanks.

Then you should rest early.

Tomorrow, you'll officially join the Design Dept.

Don't talk too late with that friend.

I won't.

We've agreed to reconvene tomorrow evening.

Your effort shows.

Good night.

Gathering tomorrow night?

She hasn't had dinner with me yet.

Bu Ran, congratulations.

You contributed immediately after joining the Design Dept.

Thanks you for your guidance

and voting.

I feel like a longtime member of the Design Dept.

In the Marketing Dept.,

you were known as a hard worker.

You were busy,

but you also solved our design issues.

We really appreciated it.

Yep,

you even fixed Yang's computer.

Otherwise, her efforts would be wasted.

Congrats, Bu Ran.

Bu Ran,

in our department,

we respect ability.

During the competition,

all showcase their talents.

Nobody gives way here.

Once we've picked a plan,

we'll all pitch in and work hard together.

This is why Pinshang's design is strong and competitive.

Since you're here,

show us what you've got.

Okay.

There's much more to learn

from all you seniors.

Accept my worship.

Xu,

I'm craving some coffee whipped up by Qin Xun.

Where is he?

He took a day off today.

He's busy tidying up his new house.

After house makeover,

he will invite friends to a housewarming, right?

Are you going?

I have to mind the store.

Besides,

he's young.

He surely wants to invite girls over.

I don't want to be the third wheel.

Perfect timing,

I have something for you.

It's a photo of Mr. Lu, me

and little Siqi.

Mr. Lu and I were young back then.

When was this taken?

I used to deliver the coffee beans to Mr. Lu

when he wanted them.

Once on a chilly day,

he invited me to stay for a meal and we took a photo together.

Back then,

Siqi was just a kid.

Thank you, Xu.

You've given me more memories to cherish.

I'm set to refurbish the ancient alley.

These pics will really come in handy.

That's thoughtful.

Just a few photos.

No need to be formal with me.

Swing by with Siqi for a drink whenever you're free.

She must have got the graceful posture

from her father.

Before Siqi gets her memory back,

I don't intend to expose her.

Please understand.

All this time,

you've been doing double duty,

as dad and brother.

Excellent effort!

Reflecting on how kind my dad's been,

it's nothing.

I'm leaving now.

An unexpected gain.

Thanks.

Okay.

Visit when free.

Sure thing.

Came for my coffee?

He's looking to pry into

my evening plans with Bu Ran.

I'm not the one to weigh in on that.

But as you just heard,

Lu Cenyang has Siqi's back.

Your dad is a good man,

which is why there is a Lu Cenyang

who sincerely guards his family business and Siqi.

You've known who I am this whole time.

Yet he provided the parental affection

to someone else.

To me, he's still a bad father.

Are you planning to take out your resentment towards Mingyu

on Lu Cenyang?

Before she passed away, my mom made a point to tell me

to fight for what belongs to me.

She couldn't get rid of the cheater until the day she died.

But now Siqi has lost all her memories,

and I can't bear to be cruel.

It no longer matters.

Bu Ran is who I aim for.

Where is everyone?

Time sure flies in the Design Dept.

I should leave now

to avoid another round of nagging from Qin Xun.

We know your lunar birthday.

Per the tradition of Design Dept.,

we need to whip up a cake.

Birthday wishes

can't be left out either.

Three, two, one.

- Bu Ran, - Bu Ran,

- you really spice up the Design Dept. - you really spice up the Design Dept.

Thank you, everyone.

Put out them.

We'll leave then.

Let's do it together.

Okay.

Mr. Li,

this is from the Design Dept.

Please have a taste.

Thank you.

Today is your birthday?

The company brims with warm individuals.

Mr. Li is my first friend

at Pinshang.

Finish the cake.

Of course.

Isn't Mr. Lu supposed to be

your first friend at the company?

What makes me worthy of being his friend?

He is the powerful support I need to cling to.

I must be polite to him.

I'm not implying anything else.

Just a heads-up.

No matter he's your friend

or your support,

since

you've invited me to cake,

have you invited him?

If you skip over Mr. Lu,

doesn't that come off as a bit forced?

Mr. Lu,

the design team prepped it for me.

It tastes good.

Mr. Lu, have a piece too.

It's your birthday.

I didn't prepare a gift.

I'll treat you to dinner tonight.

No need.

I rarely celebrate my birthday.

Birthdays just make me feel like I'm aging.

My coworkers are super into it,

and it'd be wasteful to ignore their prepared cake.

So I've asked all to help finish it.

I also dislike birthday parties.

The birthday on my ID card

is estimated and filled in by the director of the orphanage.

I'm someone

who doesn't know their own birthday.

Little cause for celebration.

Your words make me feel like I might be a bit melodramatic.

But for birthdays,

I have been picky since I was young.

If there's not a special gift

or special arrangements,

I'd prefer to skip it.

Otherwise, I won't feel good about myself at all.

I've delayed your off time.

I'll leave.

Mr. Li.

No offense,

but why did it take you a bit longer to catch on today?

She had another appointment.

I made plans too late.

So what?

If it's still before midnight, you've got time.

That makes sense.

I'll go get ready.

Coming.

Welcome.

Who designed your home?

It's really nice.

That's definitely

designer Bu's work.

What do you think?

Why did you make so much food?

Can we finish all this?

Isn't that wasteful?

Today is a special day.

We should celebrate,

right?

I also need to show off a bit.

The dishes I prepared are all for pairing with wine.

Let's have a drink in a bit.

Alright.

I can build up my booze tolerance.

Okay.

The new layout's a whole lot cozier.

Does this photo look decent enough?

Like a family.

Please.

Don't treat me as

an excuse for not dating.

This is a fruit wine.

It soothes with mild alcohol.

Give it a try.

Thank you.

Congratulations on our new beginning!

You've moved into a new house

and I've transferred to a new department.

Cheers.

Actually,

when you defeated Chen Manni,

we should've celebrated then.

Back then, your popularity really skyrocketed.

It was too thrilling.

A lucky win.

Thanks to Mr. Lu for totally turning my situation around!

He's pretty much become your unsung hero.

Are you still thinking of moving?

I'm fond of the Design Dept.

and the vibe at work now.

I'm hoping to continue to work for Pinshang if possible.

I mean,

are you thinking about moving out of Fortune Pavilion?

It's a real hassle.

Is it the charm of Pinshang that attracts you,

or the personal charm of Lu Cenyang?

The food you cook is what I love the most.

Let me have a taste first.

Just drinking and eating is dull.

Let's play Truth or Dare.

Man, that game is old school.

So boring.

I'm out.

Don't worry.

As long as you don't choose Dare,

I'll make it easy for you,

and I won't force extreme actions.

We've known each other for so many years.

I don't have anything to ask.

You don't,

but I do.

Considering all these I've made,

join me for a few rounds.

Fine.

Truth or Dare?

Truth.

What's your type?

First off, he has to be tall and stand straight

for my peace of mind.

And his look.

He should look good.

And he has to be considerate

and able to protect me.

Sort of like that.

I just thought for a sec.

Seems like I've got everything you're looking for.

Stop it.

Shameless.
