Chicken legs and wings on discount. Come and take a look.

Chicken wings on discount.

Mao and Zao took turns to cheer Huan up.

But she's still so upset.

She just broke up.

It's never easy to get over it.

Besides, she's been dating Jialiang for years.

It's bound to be a tough ordeal.

I can see that Huan can't let go of Jialiang.

You know our daughter.

She would rather break up

than let you suffer the slightest.

I didn't ask them to break up.

I didn't want them to.

How I wish they could stay together.

It's all my fault that I spoke so recklessly

at their place that day.

I got carried away

and put my daughter in a dilemma.

Should I

apologize to them in person tomorrow?

Just leave it be.

I think

Huan knows what she's doing.

Of course, she does.

But I'm worried about her.

I wouldn't worry if she's all right.

Ma'am.

How are you?

How come you're here?

What brings you here?

I'm usually busy driving

with little free time.

And I-I'm not good with words,

so I dare not come often

to bother you.

Don't be nervous.

Come in and sit.

You've sent Chenghuan to keep me company over the years.

I really appreciate it.

If you have something to say, just say it.

I would like...

I would like you

to help us give Huan some guidance.

What have you pressured her into again?

Here's the thing.

Chenghuan's mother

agreed to help

the Xin family with their business.

But she knows nothing about it.

In the end, the deal fell through and Huan was demoted

to be an apartment manager.

She also fell out with Jialiang.

My wife was worried about our daughter,

so she went to our in-laws' place

to explain everything.

But they ended up

fighting again.

Huan wanted to defend her mom

and broke up with Jialiang on the spot.

She hasn't eaten or drunk anything or opened up

for days.

She said she was fine.

But how is that fine, right?

It's the trouble you've caused as her parents.

Why would you expect me to tidy up your mess?

You're right.

W-We don't know how to comfort her.

Huan is an honest child.

She's been very serious

about this relationship.

Now they've broken up.

I'm sure it hurts more than anything.

It was her first love.

She listens to you.

Please give her some advice.

Please.

It's been years.

Mai.

You've aged too.

Alright.

I'll talk to her when she comes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

Well...

I will leave you to rest.

J-Just stay.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Grandma.

Come here. Hurry.

Grandma, you scared me to death.

I thought something happened when you called me.

Are you okay?

It's not me who's in trouble. It's you.

Look at your leg.

You fell?

Does it hurt?

It's just a minor injury.

- Sit. - It'll be fine in a couple of days.

A minor injury is still an injury.

Look at you.

If I hadn't called you,

you wouldn't have told me.

I know.

My sweetie has been mistreated.

Grandma.

Go ahead and cry.

It'll be better once you cry it out.

Grandma.

My family and Jialiang's family

are too far apart.

There's no way to resolve it anymore.

Actually, I don't regret breaking up.

I'm not afraid of breaking up.

I just feel that

I've invested three years of my life in this relationship

but it ended in such a nasty way.

It's hard to accept.

And it upsets me.

Grandma.

I used to think that

people become stronger as they grow older.

But now, why do I feel that

we get more vulnerable as we age?

It's okay.

Here.

Huan,

I'm in my eighties.

I've had two marriages

and have met countless people.

This child, Jialiang,

has a decent character

and a fine family background.

The two of you have deep feelings for each other.

But he lacks

a backbone.

If I'm in a relationship with someone like that,

I would say,

it's good to say goodbye

and the next one will be better.

Grandma.

Where did you learn all this?

It's quite trendy.

I have to

keep up with you in conversation.

You see.

If you hurt your leg,

Granny will rub it for you.

If your heart is broken,

just come to Granny.

This is your safe harbor.

Grandma.

Life

is long.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Unreciprocated love.

A breakup

is nothing more

than a trip and fall.

Don't be disappointed in yourself.

And don't let those who look down on us

get smug.

We are free to cry,

but we must cry with good reason.

After the pain and tears,

just get back up. All will be well.

We must always

look forward.

Rest assured.

Granny's got your back.

My darling, don't cry.

I will treat you to something nice.

Okay?

Okay.

Good day, ma'am.

Hello, be casual.

Good day, ma'am.

Hello.

Grandma, how come everyone in Xing'anli

knows you?

You know I often come here for tea.

You're so popular.

This is our newly developed braised pork.

Have a taste.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you, Mr. Cui.

This is their new dish.

Try it and see if it's tasty.

It's so nice, Grandma.

So you brought me here for delicacies.

You really know how to enjoy life.

When you feel down,

eat properly.

We are friends over meals.

Then I'll take advantage of you to enjoy meals.

Go ahead.

Dig in.

Huan.

How's your work going?

Being demoted to the apartment means a pay cut.

- Do you want me to... - Grandma.

It's fine for me

to work there.

I was demoted.

But everyone is nice to me.

I even got a five-star rating last week.

Don't worry about me.

I know.

You know

what you're doing.

It's just a pity.

I was hoping to work at Botticelli

and get a promotion.

Listen to me.

Your hard work

may not be rewarded immediately.

But don't get discouraged.

Because you never know

when your good fortune will arrive.

I won't forget it.

How is it?

Did I manage to boost your morale?

I'm so high-spirited now.

Dig in.

Darling, I've missed you so much.

Stop it.

We're at the company.

There's no one here.

Why did you come here?

I missed you, that's why.

I quit the job as you told me to.

This is not what you promised me.

You said you liked me and wanted to be with me forever.

We are both well aware

of what that's

supposed to mean.

I'll visit you

if you behave.

But if you keep coming to the company,

we'll have to break up.

So when will you visit me?

I've learned to make a new dessert

just for you.

I'm busy.

I have a dinner meeting today.

(Delete this album?)

How come you're so nice

to bring me bird's nest soup?

You taught me well.

I think you need a good scolding.

Look what you've done.

Grandma, I'm sorry.

I haven't taken good care of Chenghuan.

But I have made arrangements.

I have faith in her.

It's just that

the leisurely job position

has undermined her sharpness.

So I transferred her

to the apartment to reshape her.

You're going to promote her?

She is my precious.

Don't just give lip service

and then forget about it.

I may be getting on in years,

but I'm still keeping an eye

on everything.

Alright, Grandma, rest assured.

I'm not good at comforting people.

But I do have plans for Chenghuan.

Long-term plans.

Once you hand over Xing'anli to me,

I will manage it with care

and transfer her over

as a promotion.

Zhiming,

does it count as a threat?

Of course not.

I believe

that this is the best arrangement.

What about now?

Chenghuan is in low spirits after the breakup.

You haven't traveled in a long time.

And Yueda happens to have developed

a new project near Shanghai,

which is also a renovated hotel.

I'll take you there for a visit

and some fun.

You're trying to tie me down

with Chenghuan.

It seems like a leisurely trip,

but you intend to use this case

to show me the possible future of Xing'anli.

This is your true intention, isn't it?

Grandma.

This will be the new landmark.

It'll be meaningful.

(Xing'anli Garden Hotel M&A Business Plan)

Zhiming,

when have you ever valued meaningfulness?

Grandma.

Xing'anli is a stepping stone for my promotion.

To me,

it is the most important

and indispensable piece.

You want power,

status,

and victory.

Grandma.

There's no reason to wait.

Let's go this weekend.

Ask Chenghuan.

I'll make the arrangements.

I'll think about it.

Alright.

Grandma, have some more.

Mom, what are you doing?

N-Nothing.

I got you some milk.

Have the milk and go to bed.

Okay.

Is there anything else?

Nothing.

There is something.

Well, this weekend,

the ladies in our dance troupe

want to organize

a cooking class. Will you come?

This...

Hold on, Mom. It's Granny.

Hello, Granny.

Huan, are you free this weekend?

This weekend?

Yeah, I am.

Let's go for a trip.

Okay.

Mom.

Go with her and have a good time.

Take good care of her.

Bring a jacket. It's still chilly.

Go to sleep.

I see.

(He Jing Nursing Home) Huan, what are you wearing?

Are we going for a trip or a training?

Granny, I've looked it up.

The sun will be fierce and there will be mosquitoes.

And the small stream is full of leeches.

Your outfit is suited for Wukang Road.

I'm a professional, so you should

listen to me when it comes to mountains.

I wasn't in awe of your profession.

I apologize.

Follow my instructions from now on.

Grandma, just a second. I'll get a cab.

No need. I've booked one.

Grandma.

Zhiming will foot the bill this time.

It will help iron out the conflicts between you.

What are you wearing?

Could you please open the trunk?

Grandma, just a second.

Why are you upset?

There are plenty of men.

How do you know?

Let me help you.

No, thanks. You are a generous sponsor.

I got this.

You know what?

I've come to impress Grandma.

Don't hold me back.

Seriously, you're everywhere.

Of course.

Come on.

Be careful. There are valuables inside.

Did you hear something break?

Did it break?

I told you to be careful.

Oh no.

The dehumidifier is broken.

What did you bring that?

None of your business.

Grandma has rheumatism. It's damp in the mountains.

Sorry about that.

Grandma, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Yao Zhiming.

It's a bad route.

The GPS shows another path.

It's a detour,

but it's flatter.

Let's take that road.

I've been taking this path for a year and now you said it.

This road is the best choice.

A year?

You think you're humorous?

You didn't ask me earlier.

Can you drive slower?

It's making me feel sick.

Mai Chenghuan.

It's just a breakup.

Why are you picking on me?

Am I not driving slowly enough?

Yao Zhiming.

Let's stick to the facts.

What does it have to do with my breakup?

You're clearly a bad driver.

Yeah, right. You drive so well. Take the wheel.

No problem, pull over and I'll drive.

What a bickering pair.

I will sign you up for the Open Mic

to perform stand-up comedy, okay?

No, thanks.

I don't want to either.

"I don't want to either"?

Even if I formed a team

to do stand-up c-c-comedy one day,

I wouldn't invite you.

I'm too good to be your teammate.

Stand-up c-c-comedy.

You'll form a team for stand-up comedy?

You're too good for me,

but not Xin Jialiang.

But they disagree with you.

What was that?

Y-You're mimicking me, huh?

You're mocking me?

Also, stick to the point.

Why did you bring him up?

What's wrong with you?

Everything's wrong with me.

I dare you to mention him again.

Xin Jialiang.

Again.

Xin Jialiang.

You...

Enough, stop arguing.

We're out for fun. Stop arguing.

Okay, Grandma.

I'll apologize to Chenghuan.

Chenghuan,

I'm sorry.

Grandma, did you see that?

That look on his face.

He didn't mean it at all.

What? Grandma, don't listen to her.

I was very sincere. Don't slander me.

You know what?

I refuse to accept your apology.

Tacky.

Tacky.

Grandma.

Yueda owns two traditional-style

luxury hotels.

One is in Singapore.

And the other is here.

Chenghuan, what do you think?

It's pretty nice.

It's luxurious.

I can see that it costs a huge fortune

and great efforts.

But Grandma.

The original architecture

had quite a charm.

But the renovation

took something out.

It's quite a pity.

That's right.

Why did you come in again?

I told you to play outside.

Kiddo.

Have some candy.

Share them with your friends, okay?

Thank you.

Go ahead.

Yao Zhiming, give me your ID.

I'll go check in.

Miss Mai, this way please.

I'll be back, Grandma.

Grandma.

What do you think of this place?

I don't quite like the way it looks now.

The renovation has taken away its soul.

Hotels like this,

be they in the mountains or by the sea,

in Shanghai or London,

are quite the same.

Grandma.

Business

is always about output, input, and return.

Yueda has empowered this place

and turned this remote area into a tourist site.

I'm confident that

we can make Xing'anli a top luxury hotel

even more high-end and luxurious than this.

You're very much like your grandfather.

He always had the best strategies

and never missed a beat in business,

seeking to maximize benefits in everything.

Actually, I've benefited greatly.

I think being a decent person

is just like cooking.

If you only seek

instant benefits,

then the cooking loses its soul.

The diners won't be willing

to pay for the dishes.

Yeah.

Grandma, you talk about souls,

emotions, and the human touch.

You might as well tell me to be Mai Chenghuan.

Let's go.

How is it here?

Do you want the truth?

Then I'll say it.

This may be Yueda's luxury resort,

but the services are not so good.

Be more specific.

Look at the front desk staff.

Some wear their name tags. Some don't.

And the cleaning staff

are crossing the lobby

and not sticking to the side.

The front desk is not managing things well.

And look at these pastries.

Obviously wholesale,

cheap and not fresh.

All these expose your operational standards.

A customer spends thousands to stay for one night.

They are not fools.

M-Mr. Yao.

I'm sorry.

The hotel just opened.

The staff

we hired are mainly locals.

I believe these details

Miss Mai mentioned will be addressed

with regular training.

It's okay. No need for that.

Let's replace all the staff.

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

Miss Mai, I've taken note of your words.

I will work on it now.

You don't have to be so extreme.

Drastic measures aren't cost-effective.

The hotel needs a set of standards.

These staff are locals.

How can they make a living if you fire them?

Why do I care?

A hotel should be customer-oriented

or employee-oriented?

You are self-oriented,

always

prioritizing profit.

Are you still kids?

How did you manage to argue about a hotel?

The wine is not bad.

Come and try it.

- Grandma. - You can't drink.

Be careful, Grandma.

There are rocks here. Be careful.

Okay.

How is it? Fine environment, right?

It's nice.

Breathe some fresh air here.

We can't have it

back in Shanghai.

Grandma.

You've sweated a lot.

Have some water to replenish your strength.

Okay.

Grandma, here.

Yao Zhiming, do you want water?

I don't mind sweating.

It's just that my feet hurt a bit.

Really?

Grandma, let me hold you.

No need.

We're here to hike.

How can I hold on to you?

Carry her things.

Be careful.

Take it slow.

Okay.

Come on, give me the bag.

Can you manage?

Of course.

Then I'll leave it to you.

Why are you carrying so much stuff?

Interesting question.

You drink branded water.

Do you expect to buy food in the mountains?

If it's heavy,

eat and drink everything and it'll be fine.

Hello.

Send the supplier details

of Tianhe Home Furnishing for the next quarter to my email.

Supplier details

of Tianhe Home Furnishing for the next quarter.

Hello?

He Dong.

Look at him.

He's in the woods,

but he's still bound by work.

Can you hear me?

Yeah, it's kind of funny.

There's something wrong with him.

Mai Chenghuan, I can hear you.

I'm your boss. Show some respect.

Sir, have you watched any domestic soap drama?

There are many overbearing CEOs

just like you.

What nonsense.

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Send the supplier details

of Tianhe Home Furnishing for the next quarter to my email.

Grandma, be careful.

Are your feet still hurting?

Just a little bit.

Still hurting?

Take it slow.

Grandma.

Sit over there to take a rest.

Alright.

Alright.

It's okay.

Sit here, Grandma.

I'm Ultraman.

Little Ultraman.

Why don't you play at the hotel?

Mom and Dad said I couldn't play there

or they would get scolded.

Why is that?

Do they work at the hotel?

Yeah.

Sir, look, you did a good deed.

It's good that you built a luxury hotel here.

You helped the nearby villagers.

They work right at their doorstep,

and their kids won't be left alone.

So nice.

Kiddo.

Ultraman doesn't exist at all.

It's just a lie.

Only a kiddo like you would believe in light.

Hey.

Yao Zhiming, now I'm sure

you have some serious issues.

I was telling the truth.

There's no Ultraman

or philanthropist.

We must establish ourselves on our own.

I know what you're trying to say.

But I will still replace the staff.

Chenghuan.

Thank you for inviting me to a massage.

That long journey down the mountain path

really hurt my legs.

You're welcome, Granny.

If...

If it were only you and me traveling this time,

it would be quite pleasant

to enjoy the scenery.

I know Zhiming

very well.

He's not bad by nature.

He's not bad by nature.

But he is cold-blooded and scheming.

He doesn't even protect the innocence of children.

Maybe it's because no one ever treated him well

when he was a child.

Day by day,

he grew up.

But deep down, he was still

that child who suffered hardships.

So he doesn't know

how to treat others.

Did Yao Zhiming suffer a lot when he was young?

Kiddo.

Ultraman doesn't exist at all.

It's just a lie.

Only a kiddo like you would believe in light.

A successful man who has suffered childhood trauma.

Successful man.

Successful man, time for dinner.

Granny is waiting for us.

Granny is waiting...

Mai Chenghuan.

Yao Zhiming, what's wrong?

Yao Zhiming!

Yao Zhiming!

Someone.

Hey, excuse me!

Come over, please!

What's wrong?

My friend passed out.

Please get an ambulance.

Yao Zhiming!

- Yao Zhiming! - Oh no.

It's getting dark.

There are no lights at night.

The ambulance crew doesn't know the road.

It may cause a delay.

D-Do you have a first aid kit?

Or any medical personnel?

No, we don't.

But we know the mountain roads.

Shall we take him to the hospital?

Okay, that would be great!

- Let me get help. - Okay.

Yao Zhiming!

Yao Zhiming, you're scaring me!

Yao Zhiming!

Yao Zhiming, hang in there.

Hang in there.

You woke up.

It's kidney stones. Let me get a doctor.

It's nothing.

No need.

Let me get you some water.

Thank you.

Hello, He Dong.

I've reviewed the new supplier's profile.

Skip their salespeople.

Contact Mr. Ye directly.

Tomorrow morning, the meeting will proceed as usual.

Schedule the afternoon meeting too.

I'm going to send you feedback...

Mr. Yao, the world doesn't end without you.

But your kidneys

won't make it if you don't drink water.

Put down the phone and take good care of yourself.

Don't be so dramatic.

I had a bad fever due to

altitude sickness while hiking abroad.

I still finished the work.

I'm not that fragile.

Work is endless.

But you only have two kidneys.

If you don't follow the doctor's orders

and rest well,

there will be consequences.

Is that a threat?

Me threatening you?

Why would I do that?

Why do I care if you're self-destructive?

But

you wouldn't want the whole company to find out

that Mr. Yao

passed a one-carat kidney stone, right?

Where is Grandma?

She came to see you last night.

Since you were okay,

I sent her back to rest.

I've finally realized it's not good to live alone.

If anything happens,

no one will notice because you live alone.

That would be terrible.

How could no one notice?

Hey Siri, my stomach hurts.

I need help.

Okay, master. I found a hospital nearby.

It's 20 meters from you.

Siri, can you take him there?

Sorry, please repeat that.

Yao Zhiming.

If the hotel staff hadn't helped yesterday,

I couldn't have carried you alone.

There was no emergency plan.

These clumsy methods

won't achieve much.

They can only pray for forgiveness.

Yeah, the hotel does have many issues.

But the front desk manager said that

they'd make things right.

The hotel staff

are mostly villagers from nearby.

It's a rare job opportunity for them.

Give them some time.

I believe

as long as they are proactive at work,

they will do better.

Also, you fainted yesterday.

The ambulance staff didn't know the mountain road.

The hotel staff

brought you here.

Without them,

we don't know what you'd be like.
