=Episode 29=

Actually, I'm not upset because of Mom.

It's because of Mao?

Song Huaimin is sowing discord
between Mao and the child.

They will end up with a rift like this.

Mao would be disfavored
if they brought it to court.

She hates to hold me back,

so she wants me to think twice

about this relationship.

What do you think?

I was thinking, Huan...

Is Xing'anli available anytime soon?

Are you going to propose to Mao?

No, I'll contact Dingding's kindergarten

to organize a parent-child event

so that Mao can play with Dingding

to ease the tension.

We need a revenue.

Sure, Xing'anli is perfect for that.

Sunshine, big lawn.

The kids will love it.

Will it interfere with your business?

Don't worry about that.

- I've got your back.
- Thank you, Huan.

Eat the cake.

Otherwise, your birthday will be over.

- Where's Zao?
- Why are you still up?

I see.

He's still angry with me.

No, he's not angry with you.

Zao told me

he had some things to deal with

and wouldn't return for now.

What's the matter? Is it serious?

It's nothing serious.

Mom, actually,

I've been wanting
to talk to you about Zao.

We lived in our old house
for over twenty years,

and Zao never had his own bedroom.

He lived in the living room.

Whenever we had guests,

you would
shove his stuff here and there.

And you often forgot to

put his things back afterward.

Earlier, Zao lost his job
because of my broken relationship.

He didn't want to burden us,

and started delivering food
without telling us.

(Delivering food?
Riding an electric bike)

(through the alleys?)

(That was so dangerous.)

(How come he never mentioned it to me?)

Mom, relax.

He's past that period.

He just didn't

want us to worry about him.

So he didn't tell us.

I found out about it later.

He grew up away from us

and missed out on a lot of love.

So he cared about you
very much after he returned.

Do you know what he said?

He said you want him
to achieve something when he's young.

He didn't want to let you down.

He wanted to make you proud of him.

I thought he would be fine because

he's a boy.

He can sustain himself.

He's well-educated

and has a good character.

He'll find a good job

and marry a good girl.

I'm sure he can lead a good life.

But I didn't know he was so sensitive.

He had so much to say but never told me.

He never told me
about the hardships or grievances.

He clearly kept me at a distance.

Mom, Zao is very considerate.

He will understand you.

It's not too late to be aware of it now.

We can start anew, right?

I've talked to Zao today.

He promised he'd come home.

When he comes home,

tell him what you think in person, okay?

Thank you, Huan.

Don't cry.

(Child Custody Lawsuit)

(Chengzao: Where are you?
Just take your time. No rush.)

(How are you?)

Mao, I've made up my mind.

I still want to be with you.

I know you are worried about Dingding.

I'm sure we can get the custody back.

I reviewed the case files
in the past five years

and found quite a few cases
similar to yours.

I also sorted out the evidence.

These can prove

that you are more suited
to raise the child.

These can prove that

he is not suited to raise a child.

Rest assured, I will do my utmost

to help you win this lawsuit.

We can certainly bring Dingding back.

This is my answer.

Right, this is my payroll card.

I've just started working

and might not be able to offer much.

But I swear I will work hard

to provide a better life
for you and Dingding.

You wanted me to think twice.

I've thought about it carefully.

No matter what,

I choose to be with you.

I thought you didn't want me anymore.

I thought you had chosen to give up.

I will never give up on you.

Thank you.

Thank you for everything you've done.
Thank you, Zao.

- Dig in.
- Here's your liquor set.

Please enjoy.
Call me if you need anything.

- Alright, thank you.
- Come on.

Miss Mai looks very happy today.

- Of course, I'm dining with Mr. Yao.
- Stop it.

Zao and Mao have reconciled.

This is something to be happy about.

Come on, let's have a drink today.

Forget it. You know I can barely drink.

There's no handcart
for you to take me home.

You hold grudges, huh?

Don't worry. I won't sneak a photo
of you being drunk today.

Right, I'm planning

to hold a parent-child event
in Xing'anli.

Are you blazing a new trail?

No, Mao's ex-husband has been

trash-talking Mao in front of the child.

So Zao wants to organize
a parent-child activity

to help Mao get closer to Dingding.

Of course, I'll lend a hand.

But organizing a parent-child event

is not any easier
than holding a wedding.

Haven't you been overwhelmed

by the evaluations?

Are you sure you want to do this?

I'm Mao's bestie and Zao's sister.

I have to do this

- even if I pass out from exhaustion.
- True.

Are you free next weekend?

Would you like to take part in it?

Have you ever seen a couple on a date
at a parent-child event?

It's the 14th next weekend.

What about it?

It's the Valentine's Day.

But it's not February.

You've been such a workaholic.

Don't you know?

For lovers,

it's Valentine's Day
every month on the 14th.

You're really something.

- Stop it. So will you come?
- Sure.

- Here.
- Let's get you drunk.

- Miss Zhao.
- Sorry to have

kept you waiting.

- It's alright.
- Ms. Mao.

Dingding's dad informed us

that you were emotionally unstable
due to the divorce

and told us
to limit your access to the child.

Miss Zhao, you have a child too, right?

We are both first-time mothers.

I'm sorry I've done
something inappropriate.

I've been trying to improve.

I want to be a good mom.

Actually,

I came to tell you something.

I'd like to invite all the kids,

(Invitation)
their parents, and the teachers

to a parent-child event
at Xing'anli Hotel.

You don't have to
worry about the expenses.

I'll take care of that.

I hope it can help Dingding get along

with the other kids.

Ms. Mao, I totally understand.

But after all,
the father is the guardian.

Hello, Miss Zhao.

I'm Ms. Mao Yongxin's lawyer.

It's my client's legitimate right
to visit her child.

Song Huaimin shall not
unilaterally terminate such right.

The court rarely rules

to terminate such rights,
considering that it might

harm the children's

physical and mental health.

If Mr. Song Huaimin has any objections,

I'll come forward to negotiate.

The kindergarten won't bear
any responsibility. Please rest assured.

And please trust us.

We want all the kids
to have a delightful experience.

Let me discuss this with our principal.

Thank you, Miss Zhao.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

That curly-haired lady.

Over here.

You've ordered coffee for me?

How did it go at the kindergarten?

Zao helped me a lot.

He persuaded them to accept it.

I think it's settled.

There will be many children

and their parents.

Will you be annoyed?

No way. I've thought it all through.

We will hold the event on the lawn.

The theme will be
"Little Heroes, Big Adventure"

with many cartoon characters.

- Hello, Miss Mai.
- Hello, Miss Mai.

I told you. Her relatives just left.

And her friend came for perks.

We hustle and bustle for nothing.

Your employees sound so mean.

They've been against me
ever since I came. Give them some time.

Is it causing you a lot of trouble

to host this event here?

What are you talking about?

Not at all.

Granny used to run Xing'anli
under the concept of "home".

She hoped that all the guests

would consider Xing'anli as their home

and heal all the emotional wounds here.

I want to carry on her legacy.

That's why I took over Xing'anli.

Sorry about the trouble. Thanks.

Stop saying that or I'll be mad.

Sir, please take a look at the contract
for the room-service system upgrade

and the background information
of the suppliers.

- Geez.
- You caught a cold?

You wanted the contract ready asap,

so I had to work on it overnight.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Tell them to start as soon as possible.

Didn't you want to start
after the National Day?

If we start now,

it will hinder our performance
in the peak season.

You can't do this.
You failed to obtain Xing'anli.

Now you won't even meet the KPI.
What are you thinking?

He Dong, just do as I say.

♪Toward the foam of the night♪

♪Gliding past

♪I still remember clearly♪

♪People are whispering♪

♪Neon lights flickering in your eyes♪

♪You become real as well♪

I'm sorry, sir.

- Your tip.
- No need.

Who says I can't do it?

♪Finally, you stay by my side♪

♪Like a movie playing in the past♪

Thank you for doing so much for me.

♪I still remember it all♪

♪Toward the foam of the night♪

Why do you keep having junk food?

You do nothing serious all day long.

(Invitation)
This is serious.

Come and see if you're interested.

(Invitation, Xing'anli Garden Hotel)

You went to Xing'anli?

You just found out? I've been
working there for half a month.

Mai Chenghuan is quite something.
She won over Yao Zhiming

and gained control
over you just like that.

I went there to work, okay?

I'm managing
Xing'anli's social media account.

We're getting more followers.

Chenghuan praised me for my creativity,

which diverted traffic
to our wedding planning service.

I'm still available.

If you ask nicely,

I can consider helping you optimize
Botticelli's social media.

Have you lost your mind?

You are so happy about
doing the groundwork?

How come you have no vision
and no ambition at all?

How did I give birth
to such a foolish daughter?

Fine.

Find a daughter like you.

Find someone with ambition and vision

who doesn't like
river snail rice noodles.

You despise me, huh? I despise you too.

Look at the other mothers.

Look how sweet
Chenghuan's mother is to her.

When have you ever been sweet to me?

Why can't you care about me for once?

Y-You compare me
to Mai Chenghuan's mother?

This is a humiliation.

What's wrong?
You hate everyone, don't you?

Is that why you're always
cold-blooded and heartless?

Zhang Ziyu, let me tell you

how I've survived
in this society as a single mother.

I sent you to the best schools
and funded your studies abroad.

Why did I work so hard?
Didn't I do it for you?

And now you're insulting me.
Do you want to break my heart?

You don't know how fortunate you are.

Zhang Peisheng.

You wanted the house,
the car, and the money for yourself.

Why do you claim that it's for me?

This isn't trendy anymore.

Stop moral blackmailing me.

It takes two to form a relationship.

If you want a sweet daughter,

learn to be a good mother first.

We're doing parenting activities
on top of all those weddings.

We even lost our days off.

She's working us to the bone.

- Yeah.
- Exactly, this is unbearable.

Right? Miss Mai
is too young and too naive.

She lacks experience. Our hotel
will be doomed sooner or later.

I agree.

Guys, let's pick up the pace here.

Take a break once you're done.

Okay.

Come on, pick up the pace.

Hello, when is the steel frame
for the backdrop arriving?

You can't make it? Are you kidding me?

Have a look there.

Pouring rain. Didn't you
check the weather forecast?

What do you want me to do now?
Pull some banners?

In the afternoon?
The event will be over.

Mr. Zhang, do you have
steel frames available?

In about an hour or so.

Alright, I'll think of
something else. Okay.

Mr. Fang, nice to meet you.

I'm Liao Gang, head of
the concierge department.

Hello.

I heard there was a problem
with the steel frame.

They can't make it on time.

I know someone.
And I can get you a discount.

Really?

Of course.

Is it reliable?

Of course. Didn't we
organize events before you came?

Right.

Rest assured, I've got this.

Okay, I'll leave it to you.

I'm sharing Miss Mai's burden.

- Liao Gang, huh?
- Yeah.

Let me buy you dinner one day.

Thank you, Mr. Fang.

What are you doing?

Take a guess.

Man, things are getting urgent
and you're in the mood for romance?

What happened?
What did Zhang Peisheng do again?

She's taking a tough stance.

She said that the system upgrade

hindered the performance
of the entire peak season.

So she shifted our access

to the administrative system
to her name.

Isn't this a blatant power grab?

I knew she would do this.

Aren't we having an online meeting soon?

Let's see what surprise
Ms. Zhang has prepared for us.

I'll take a photo for you.
Three, two, one.

Three, two, one. Another one.

Okay.

Stick it at a nice spot. Adorable.

Come on, one more picture.
Three, two, one. Okay.

Hello, kiddo. Welcome.

Hello, Miss Mai.

Ziyu, how's it going? Everything fine?

Yeah.

You've been here for half a month.
Have you adapted to the work?

Yeah, I'm highly adaptable.

You look bothered.

I wanted to prove myself to my mom.

But she meant it
when she said she wouldn't show up.

Ms. Zhang must be busy.

Besides, growing up
is a personal journey.

You don't need to prove anything.

Take good photos.

I'll reward you with bonuses.

Really?

Of course.

I'll keep it in mind, Huan.

Let's go. It's about to start.

Ms. Zhang, I'm here
to reclaim my access to the system.

Mr. Yao, you have harmed
the company's interests.

I have the right to freeze your access.

Don't forget.
I'm still the acting president.

It happens that
I have an online meeting with Amber.

Shall we talk together?

Sure.

Hi, Amber.

Hey, Eric. Good to see you.

Marisa says
you are in a relationship with

Miss Mai from Xing'anli,
our acquisition target,

and you're giving up
advantages in business.

What do you think about that?

Ms. Zhang, it's all about
performance at work.

It's not very nice
to gossip about others.

Mr. Yao, maybe you should
explain it personally.

Right, Eric, I would also like to
hear what you have to say.

Amber, there is an old Chinese saying.

"A thousand-mile dike
collapses in an ant's burrow."

I acknowledge
Mr. Yao's past achievements.

But if everyone were to follow suit

and put the company's interests
after personal feelings,

that would be
a vital threat to the company.

Amber, I didn't get a chance to
inform you that I secured the quota

for hosting the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization summit

as one of the qualified hotels
this autumn.

We're upgrading room services
to meet the hosting standards.

As a foreign-funded hotel group,

I find it necessary for Yueda
to undertake

some large-scale summit projects

to enhance our local competitiveness.

We lost a month's performance,

but I've secured a great performance
for the next three years.

I've found

a more potent path to profit
than acquiring Xing'anli.

When did this happen?
How come I didn't know about it?

Ms. Zhang, don't always focus on
the immediate issues at hand.

It may cause great losses.

May I have my access back now?

Eric, this is great.

You've solved a big problem for us.

After the meeting,

let's talk about your work arrangements.

Marisa, restore Mr. Yao's access
to the system now.

Zou, restore Mr. Yao's access.

Marisa.

The group pays you handsomely
to compete with other companies,

not with each other.

Thank you, Ms. Zhang.

Yao Zhiming.

I'm asking you one last time.
What do you want?

Ms. Zhang, let me tell you
for the last time.

First, I do not intend to
return to headquarters.

So, whether I get
another promotion doesn't matter.

Second, I advise you
to give up on Xing'anli.

Then we can still work together.

All for Mai Chenghuan?

Third, if you dare to
make a move on Xing'anli again,

I guarantee you won't be
in your current position for long.

Have you forgotten who got you here?

I've repaid my debt when I helped you
become the acting president.

I'm telling you.
No one can lay a hand on Xing'anli.

Sir, when did you
land the job for the summit?

Why did you keep me in the dark?

You're a bad actor and may give us away.

I thought you were too devoted
to your relationship

to care about anything else.
So it was just a disguise.

I have an event to attend to. Bye.

Then...

(Little Hero, Big Adventure: Save Mommy)

Hello there, kids.

Welcome to
the Animal Kingdom of Xing'anli.

There is an important task for you.

The big bad wolf captured your moms.

Dingding.

Your mission is to rescue your mothers.

But there will be
all sorts of dangers along the way.

You must overcome difficulties
to rescue your mothers.

Are you ready?

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Then let's set off. Come on!

- You got this.
- You got this.

Dingding, hurry. Save Mommy.

Dingding.

- Hurry up.
- She doesn't love me. I'm not going.

Dingding, why do you feel
that your mom doesn't love you?

Mom has found a boyfriend.
She doesn't love me at all.

Dingding, your mom has told me

that you're the best
and bravest child in the world.

The big bad wolf captured her today.

Your mom will be in danger
if you don't save her.

She will be very sad.

Do you want her to be sad?

I don't want her to be sad
or taken away by the big bad wolf.

Then off you go.

Dingding, hurry up. Go for it.

Dingding, hurry. Come on.

I will defeat you.

Go for it!

You are amazing, Dingding.

Mom, I'm coming to save you.

You are the best baby in the world.

You are the best mom in the world.

Take another round.

You've worked hard.
It's hot in the costume, huh?

It's alright. I'm happy that
I can help you and Dingding.

I don't even know

how to interact with my kid as his mom.

And I need your help. I'm such a rookie.

You want to do everything by yourself?

Give me a chance to do something.

You've handled Dingding
but that doesn't mean you can handle me.

I remember when I wasn't as tall as you,

you used to pat my head and say that

you'd be there for me
if anyone dared to bully me.

It's finally my turn to say

I'm here if you ever need me.

People are watching.

So what?

Okay, another one.

Be careful.

I think the wind stopped.

Leave it and let's see.

My heart skipped a beat.

Thankfully, you came.
Otherwise, it would have collapsed.

Sorry, I invited you over for fun,

but you ended up working for us.

It's okay. I enjoy
working for you, anyway.

It's my turn. I have a gift for you.

What is it?

It's for me?

Of course.

Thank you, Mr. Yao. I really like it.

I'll help you put it on. Come here.

Done.

How is it?

I really like it, thank you.

Glad you like it.

Wait, lipstick.

Wipe it off.

Do you know what you look like?

You look like those kids
dancing on the stage just now.

Really?

The blush.

You used a wooden frame
instead of a steel one.

This is a serious case
of cutting corners.

We had many kids here.
What if they got hurt?

I'm sorry.

The steel frame was stranded
in Suzhou due to the torrential rain.

I didn't know what to do.

Liao Gang came and said
he had an economic solution.

I was too busy and didn't double-check.

And I didn't expect the strong wind.

Liao Gang?

Shouldn't you

double-check everything
as the business owner?

Are you aware of the consequences
of a potential accident?

Fang Da, as a partner,

I'm deeply disappointed
in you and Huixue.

Mr. Cui, we're holding
an urgent meeting tomorrow morning.

Okay, let me walk you out, Mr. Fang.

Chenghuan...
Miss Mai. I'll take my leave.

(Listen, next time
you come to this bar,)

mention me
and they will give you a free pass.

Come on, cheers.

Cheers.

Tell you what...

What a rare visitor! Come on, sit down.

Why did someone in a sweet relationship
come to find me at this hour?

Something's off with you.

You never come here
and here you are in the dead of night.

Something's up.

Come on, what's the matter?

Come on, don't keep me
in suspense. Spill it.

He Dong, your position might be at risk.

Wait, what joke is this?

My position... What...

Really? Are you serious?

Because...

Because I'm getting promoted.

To what?

President of the East China Region.

When did this happen?

Just now.

Fantastic, Mr. Yao!

Listen up, everyone.
All the tabs are on Mr. Yao tonight.

Mr. Yao!

- Mr. Yao!
- Mr. Yao!

Here are a few things.

Firstly, the parent-child event

went well yesterday. Great job.

Secondly,

we're terminating our partnership
with Huixue Wedding Planning.

Why is that?

Thirdly,

Liao Gang from the Concierge Department
has been dismissed by the company.

Why, Miss Mai? Give me a reason.

You want a reason?

I just emphasized
the standardized management

and you cut corners
with the stage setup materials.

Not only did you ignore my words,

but you also nearly
caused an accident for the kids.

- What...
- Stop denying.

Fang Da has told me everything.
You offered the materials.

He made a mistake
in a moment of confusion.

Can you give him a chance
to rectify his error

for Ms. Chen's sake?

Mr. Cui, it's not like
I haven't given him chances.

Liao Gang acted
all passive-aggressive on my first day.

I put my money into the company account
and gave everyone a raise.

I treat everyone like family.

You should be able to feel it.

But Liao Gang,
what do you take me for? A total fool?

Also, you didn't just cut corners.

You abused your power to take kickbacks.

You stole those
imported condiments, didn't you?

We have surveillance videos.
Do you acknowledge it?

Your junk isn't even worth much money.

You own such a big hotel.
Do you have to do this?

Everyone, I've heard that

all the hotels out there
offer better wages.

The job is much easier and less tiring.

What about here? You're already loaded.

Yet you keep making empty promises.

You're just stingy and heartless.

Liao Gang, I'll say it one last time.

Do the resignation paperwork right now.

I'll call the police
if you keep making a scene.

You're threatening me?
Who do you think you are?

You'll get your retribution!

Liao Gang, have you gone mad?

Take him out.

Let go. I can walk!

Are you okay?
