How time flies.

Both of you have grown up.

You two have your own jobs and lives.

And you're the boss of Xing'anli.

Naturally, your worries have increased.

Do you wanna talk about it with me?

Sit, dad.

Actually, it's not about me. It's Yao Zhiming.

He had a big fight with his dad at Xing'anli today.

They argued fiercely.

I have never seen him like that before.

He has been downcast since he came back.

I want to help him, but I don't know how.

I feel so useless.

Don't be silly. You've done very well.

You let his dad stay in a guest room at Xing'anli.

You've done him a big favor.

You gave him a way out.

I never thought you would handle it so well.

It's still not enough.

Dad, Yao Zhiming is quite pitiful.

He looks aloof,

but it's all an act.

It's a shell to protect himself.

If you get to know him better, you'll find

that he's soft-hearted, fragile, and even sensitive.

He has a sincere longing for the warmth of a family.

He had a tough childhood.

I don't know when the trauma his original family

brought him will heal.

Yes, I never imagined he had such an experience.

Listen, at this time we absolutely can't

simply persuade him to forgive or not to forgive,

because we haven't been through the hardships he has experienced.

You're right, dad. I've been too impatient.

Indeed, you're too concerned.

Why are you suddenly so concerned about Mr. Yao?

I've always been concerned about others since I was young.

Besides, Mr. Yao is my friend and landlord.

It's natural to show some concern.

Understood.

I just remembered something.

One night, I was tending to these plants.

When he came back, I gave him a pot of flowers.

Here, this pot of flowers is for you.

Thank you, Mr. Mai.

A few days later, I noticed

that his flowers looked better than mine.

What does that tell you? It tells

that Mr. Yao deeply longs for love and to be loved.

Well, I can see him every day.

I'll look for an opportunity to talk to him more and enlighten him.

Our family shows him more care.

Let him feel the warmth of a family.

Let time slowly heal the trauma in his heart.

Thank you, dad.

Do you want another one?

Can't eat at this late hour. It'll make me fat.

Who is it?

Mr. Yao.

Dong.

Long time no see, Mr. Yao.

You look the same as when you were little. Come on in.

Take a seat.

Thanks, Mr. Yao.

Mr. Yao, please have a seat.

Well, Zhiming asked me

to come over and see if you need anything.

How about you lend me some money?

Sorry, but I can't, Mr. Yao.

If I lend you money now, I will lose my job.

Come on. When I was in jail,

didn't you come to see me on behalf of Zhiming?

But guess what, Mr. Yao?

Back then, Zhiming warned me not to do that again.

I advise you

to hang out more often.

Look at what's being shown on TV. The outside world is fascinating.

You should go out more and experience the local culture.

It's better than staying here.

I knew you two were in cahoots,

desperately trying to drive me away.

Is Zhiming hiding something from me?

No, what could he hide from you?

Really? Then why was he so foolish

and gave Xing'anli to Mai Chenghuan?

Don't you know your own son?

He's a fool in love. No one can help him.

What? A fool in love?

Are you saying Zhiming is dating Mai Chenghuan?

Hello? I'll be right there. Okay, wait for me.

Mr. Yao, I have something to do, so I have to go.

Hello? I'll be there soon.

That woman is not simple.

She has Xing'anli, the old Western-style house,

and Zhiming.

Yu, what are you doing?

You've been sitting for half an hour. What are you thinking about?

I still feel something is off.

About what?

Huan said that Yao Zhiming's dad moved to Xing'anli.

Don't you find it strange?

His son runs a hotel.

Why did he move to Xing'anli?

Could he be trying to take over Xing'anli?

I don't think so.

Besides, Xing'anli was his family property.

He hasn't returned for many years.

Since he came back to Shanghai,

it's normal for him to visit that place again.

I'm afraid he will try to take it back.

Yao Zhiming will stop him.

He can't help. Remember?

I used his lunar birthday for fortune-telling.

It predicts a violent mishap. There's nothing he can do.

You did the same thing with the astrolabe.

It tells that he'll make a fortune in the next couple of years.

Yes, how come the results are different?

I still feel his dad is suspicious. I have to keep an eye on him.

Alright. Come on, get to sleep now.

How exactly should I watch him?

Don't rush. Everyone has this.

Come on. You've seen Roman Holiday, right?

Yeah, I've seen it.

This is the Plaza de Espana.

Audrey Hepburn ate ice cream right here.

I bought this ice cream for Zhiming.

He got a mouth full of it.

This is the Prague Square.

The singer Jay Chou sang at this place.

Mr. Yao, you've been to these places?

Of course, I went abroad when I was just a teenager.

Guess what?

The grass you're standing on used to be my football field.

We used to have activities here every week.

Now, Mai Chenghuan owns this place.

In hot weather, do you have an allowance for working overtime?

No? I'm telling you.

You should learn from foreign countries. Go on strike.

It's trendy online now for Gen Z to reform the workplace.

We must be against the bosses who exploit their employees.

Yao Renfu.

Get out of here.

What are you doing here?

I cook, clean, and wash for your son.

What are you doing here? Are you trying to sabotage my daughter?

Ms. Liu, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere.

I'm telling you that I am very angry.

Don't be angry. Let me buy you a coffee.

Coffee? Who wants to drink your coffee?

Top-quality coffee.

Alright. I will take a free coffee.

I'll take this chance to give you a lecture. Let's go.

Please put it on Mai Chenghuan's account.

Okay.

Ms. Liu, have coffee.

Why should it be charged to my daughter's account?

It's just a cup of coffee. Your daughter is a boss.

As a boss's mom, how can you be so petty?

A cup of coffee is worth nothing. No big deal.

There you go. Don't treat me as if I'm a bad guy.

Although I'm down on my luck now,

I used to be somebody in Huangpu District,

a well-known Old Gentleman.

Before my family emigrated, my assets were worth more than ten Xing'anlis.

Mr. Yao, that was a long time ago.

A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories.

Don't forget where you're from now.

I made a stupid mistake.

But I have a son.

I have passed on my intellect, insight, and vision to him.

He became such an excellent person

because he has a dad like me.

Your daughter is lucky.

What are you talking about?

Don't you know that?

About what?

Nothing.

Ms. Liu, you don't know your daughter. She's not simple.

Let me tell you, Mr. Yao.

My daughter comes from a decent family,

raised with integrity.

Even in business, she is a respectable businessperson.

She let you stay here out of sympathy for you.

She's kind, alright? You've got to recognize it.

If you make trouble for her, I will fight you to the end.

Ms. Liu, take care.

Alright, that's all. Go back to your work.

Okay, I gotta go.

Mom.

Why are you here?

I'm here on important business.

I'm here to keep an eye on Yao Renfu.

Guess what? I found a big issue.

He is trying to drive a wedge between you and your employees.

Are you here to inspect my work?

No, not really.

Listen, he was in jail.

He committed a crime, which means he was a bad person.

That's why I worry about you.

I know, mom.

I have taken it to heart.

But Yao Renfu is Yao Zhiming's dad.

We need to be kind to others, right?

I get it, but you should be wary of potential crises

to protect yourself...

Without harboring the intention to harm others.

Exactly.

I understand. I will keep what you've told me

in mind, okay?

I'm getting off work. How about I go back and cook with you?

We can go now.

- Sure. - Go.

Mr. Mai, did you invite me to fish for something else?

Are you and Huan together now?

Yes, I confessed to her, and she accepted me.

But we are prioritizing our careers.

So we didn't plan to make it public.

You must have thought it through before confessing to her, right?

You must be sincere, right?

Mr. Mai, I'm absolutely sincere towards her.

How do you plan to resolve the matter with your dad?

Rest assured, I will make him move out as soon as possible.

He won't bother you anymore.

No, that's not what I mean.

I'm not asking you to drive your dad away.

Let me tell you something that happened to me.

More than 20 years ago, my mom passed away.

But not long after, my dad decided to marry your Grandma.

I was very angry.

In a fit of anger, I cut off ties with my dad.

I never went to see him when he died.

Later, I reached the age of my dad.

I slowly realized

that what the elderly fear most is loneliness.

The elderly need a companion.

At that time, I just started my own family.

I devoted all my attention to my daughter

and my own home.

I owe my dad.

Mr. Mai, you're not like my dad.

No need to persuade me to forgive him.

You're a smart person. You will understand what I mean.

Huan is my daughter, and no one knows her better than I do.

Once she accepts you, she will be wholeheartedly good to you.

I hope you don't let the past

affect your emotions

or your relationship with my daughter.

I don't want Huan to suffer any setbacks in her emotional life.

Mr. Mai, although I'm not sure

how long I can be with Huan,

I can promise that I will cherish every moment

I spend with her.

It's such a good rod.

This box is quite heavy.

Mr. Yao, why don't you wait here for me?

I'll bring the car here.

I'll drive.

You drive? That isn't proper.

Give me the key, Mr. Mai. Come on. Wait here for me,

I'll go with you.

Back. Good.

I'll cook, and you rest. That's your dad.

It's okay now.

- Dad. - How come you're back so early?

He's your boss. How could you let him drive?

And you were directing him?

This is between men. You don't understand.

Come over here. Don't do stupid things.

It's okay to let him help at home.

Outside, he's your boss.

I'll help you cook when we get back.

- Huan, give it to me. - Hurry up with the cooking.

Hurry. Go home.

What did you guys do?

We went fishing.

Your dad has accepted me.

What did you say?

Your dad has accepted me.

Good for you, Mr. Yao. You're quite efficient.

Of course, let's go.

Don't pull me in case my mom finds out.

Don't follow me. Come in later and keep your distance.

What's there to be afraid of?

This is the place. Look, they live upstairs.

Various guests come and go all day here.

How can I let Dingding live in such a place?

Their home is upstairs.

- Take pictures. - Why are you here again?

I came with a lawyer.

What is he taking pictures of?

Aren't you suing me? I'm here to gather evidence.

There's a process for collecting evidence.

We don't allow photography here.

Mai Chengzao, you didn't learn enough at my law firm,

so you will pay tuition to learn?

Mr. Song, to fight against such a brat,

is it worth it for you to pay me so much?

As a dad, I did it all for my child.

I hope to make it foolproof.

Mr. Luo, as a lawyer, you uphold justice.

There's no need to flaunt your seniority.

Be careful. A novice like me could take you down.

I will give my all to this case.

Let's meet in court. You may leave.

We shall wait and see.

Don't forget how you punched me. I'll make you pay.

Song Huaimin, if you come again, I'll punch you.

Let's go. Calm down.

You were so cool when you were confronting that lawyer.

I've never seen you like that before.

Oh, my, let's celebrate.

- Be careful. - I'm too excited.

Mao, I want to discuss something with you.

Do you remember when we got together,

you gave me a chance to choose again?

Now, putting myself in your shoes,

I also want to give you a chance to choose again.

Choose what?

I can't deny that Luo Mingli is better than me.

I'm thinking whether we should find a senior lawyer

to help you with this case.

So you have no confidence in yourself?

No, I'm serious. I hope you can win.

I'm serious too. I hope that we can win together.

We should confront this lawsuit together.

I need you now very much.

And I believe that you can win.

Once we win the lawsuit, we'll bring Dingding over

to start a new life, alright?

Okay.

Excuse me, are you Yao Renfu?

I made an appointment with you.

You are...?

Mr. Yao, I am Ziyu's mom.

Zhiming took care of Ziyu when she was in Switzerland,

acting both as a teacher and as an elder brother.

Do you remember?

Ms. Zhang?

We haven't seen each other for a long time.

What can I do for you?

Your family's property has been taken away.

Yes, Mai Chenghuan is too cunning.

She's totally fooled my mom and Zhiming.

Such a huge property is given to her.

As an outsider, I can't even stand by.

So I want to discuss with you

how to retrieve your property.

Great.

But why do you want to get involved, Ms. Zhang?

I have my reasons, but there are benefits for you.

You just returned. I guess you have no time to exchange money.

This is my welcome gift for you.

Ms. Zhang, feel free to share your bright ideas.

We'll contact you when the right opportunity arises.

Come on.

Alright.

( Шанхайн онцгой 10 зочид буудал ) Дуо Дуо өнөөдрөөс ажиллаж эхэлж байгаа.

The two of you have already met.

From now on, you'll be a small team and should help each other.

Alright, I'll get straight to the point.

Our hotel is currently ranked fifteenth in the selection.

But we still have a month to go.

So we need to make a sprint for it.

Do you have any good ideas?

The top 14 are all large groups.

Their customer base and the capital pool are much larger than ours.

We're competing against strong rivalries.

Yes, so we need to leverage external forces.

I have an idea now.

The Shanghai Tourism Festival is coming up.

As I know, during the first week of the opening,

a delegation is coming to Shanghai.

Among them, there are government leaders,

global hotel industry leaders, journalists, and brand representatives.

Moreover, the theme of this event

happens to be about tasting history, inheritance, and exploring secrets.

Xing'anli is an old Shanghainese-style building.

So I hope we can take on the reception.

Then we'll do a marketing campaign with significant impact.

Good, Chenghuan, you're quite ambitious.

It's like gambling with small stakes. Quite thrilling.

Alright, leave the promotion to me.

I'll promote it on all the major platforms.

I will provide backups.

I'm relieved to hear that.

Let's all work hard together.

Come on.

Mr. Yao, where have you been? You look so happy.

Where did all this money?

None of your business.

No, I just think that life is finally getting better.

Don't make the same mistakes again.

I've been in jail for 15 years.

Even if you send me to gamble now, I'd be scared, alright?

What? You took away my property.

And I can't even have some money?

No, Mr. Yao, you've got me wrong.

I'm happy for you to have money.

How is it going? Are you getting used to living here?

If possible, can I treat you to a meal before you leave?

Who said I was leaving?

Did Yao Zhiming say something?

Is he trying to drive me away?

No, you misunderstood what I was saying.

If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work.

(Wanna drive me away? No way.)

Right, draw circles like this.

Yes, draw circles with your hands.

- Let it float. - Chenghuan is tough.

But I can deal with her mom.

Ms. Liu.

Long time no see.

Why are you here?

How did you find me?

This square is open to the public.

Everyone can come.

Coming here isn't against the law, right?

Liu Wanyu, you're quite clever.

You've found an Old Gentleman as a dance partner.

Are you kidding? Get lost.

Come over here and talk. Just leave when you're finished.

No problem.

Scared? Who's scared of you? Come over here.

What is it? Spit it out.

Ms. Liu.

Stand there and talk.

Ms. Liu, we shouldn't be hostile.

I'm here to make a connection with you.

A connection? With someone like you?

Listen, there's no way for us to make a connection.

It doesn't matter.

But it can happen to the children.

The children? What's happening?

Look at you, you're a mom.

Don't you know your daughter and my son are in a relationship?

Do you need to find a well-matched son-in-law?

The right one is right there. Don't you realize it?

They are dating.

I think we should ask a fortune-teller for advice first.

As for the wedding date, it's set for next month.

The banquet will be held at our own hotel to reduce costs.

And we'll decide on the invitation list.

Sir, what are you two talking about?

Mom, I'm in a meeting.

Calm down. Figure it out first.

Sir, how much longer to Botticelli?

About 20 minutes.

Drive faster, please. I'm in a hurry.

Be careful. Drive slower.

No, drive faster.

Next, please welcome Yao Zhiming, the new president of East China Region,

to give a brief speech.

Welcome.

First of all, thank you all for your companionship and support.

Actually, my original intention hasn't changed.

My ideals and goals have also remained unchanged.

That is to have our hotel stand tall by the bustling Huangpu River

to become the most dazzling pearl by the river. Thank you.

Good.

Congratulations, Mr. Yao.

Thank you.

Alright, that's all. Go back to your work.

Ms. Liu, why are you here?

Please.

Is it because you wanted to be in a relationship with Huan

that you allowed us to move into the old Western-style house?

Are you the mouse running around at home?

Yeah, Mrs. Mai, I'm that mouse running around

at home.

But Mai Chenghuan and I are in a serious relationship.

So are you dating?

It's huge. Why didn't you tell me about this before?

That's because the two of us

aren't ready to tell you.

So when do you think you'll be ready?

I'm telling you. As long as you live in this house

and you're not married, I'll have the right to discipline you.

Yes, you should do that.

How about I discuss it with Chenghuan later?

In your workplace,

there are so many beautiful girls. Can you restrain yourself?

Can you?

What?

I mean, do you know what to do?

Yes, I do.

Mrs. Mai, my assistant is a man.

And these female colleagues

were Chenghuan's good friends.

I am open to supervision at any time and any place.

You often stay up late, right?

Your life is quite irregular, isn't it?

This will certainly affect your health.

Yes, so whenever I have time, I will work out.

I have indeed noticed it.

One more thing.

Huan's social status.

You know the threshold of marrying my daughter.

I only accept the son-in-law who can live in my house.

That's what I ask for.

Alright, I'll be watching you for years.

Let's see if you can wait that long.

I'll see what your real intention is.

Okay, I'll accept your supervision. Trust me, Mrs. Mai.

I have to go on a store inspection later.

Mrs. Mai, so...

Store inspection? I'll go with you.

I'll take the opportunity to learn.

Alright, please.

Please.

Yao, I have a back problem.

You need to be steady when accelerating and braking.

Don't worry, Mrs. Mai. I will be.

Good.

Being a boss is quite tough.

But I have to say

a man should be a bit busy.

If you're busy, you won't have the energy for trifles

and will focus on work.

Mrs. Mai, you've spent so much time accompanying me around all day.

Actually, you have accepted me in your heart,

but you don't want to admit it so soon, right?

You're quite optimistic, aren't you?

Yao, let me tell you. Being a boss is one thing,

and being a husband is another.

It's different, isn't it?

Yes, so now I need to go and pick Chenghuan up from work

and be a good boyfriend.

That's more like it. Keep it up.

Yes.

I haven't agreed that you two can be together.

Don't think you've persuaded me.

Regarding the two of you,

I'm going to say some serious words.

I have noticed that Ming is a good kid,

especially when he lives with us.

I think he has many merits.

You two are together.

But regarding your family,

and your dad, Yao Renfu,

he was in jail before.

To be honest, if Huan enters such a family,

I am not mentally prepared for this. What should I do?

Mrs. Mai, I'm different from him.

Rest assured, I will not give him any chances

to trouble Chenghuan or your family.

Are you sure?

I promise.

And if we consider getting married in the future,

I will have a lawyer draft an agreement.

What agreement?

Firstly, Chenghuan's pre-marital assets will be protected comprehensively.

Secondly, my properties,

including real estate, this house, and savings will be transferred

to Mai Chenghuan.

No, you don't have to.

I was just expressing my concerns

to let you know.

If you do so, it'll make me so mean. You don't have to.

Mrs. Mai, I will do this even if you don't bring it up.

Besides, you're right.

Since I was young, maybe due to my family environment,

I've always been a selfish person.

I don't know what a home is.

I don't know what love is.

I never thought about falling in love with someone one day.

Since I met Chenghuan,

she's brought different colors to my world

and made me look forward to the future.

And as I spend time with you,

I realize what home is and what warmth is.

In my heart, I have long regarded you as my family.

So I hope you can give me a chance

to love Chenghuan

and become part of your family.

You have told your mom?

You should have done this earlier.

Chenghuan, I have to criticize you for this.

How could you not tell your mom about such a big thing?

You already know about this?

I've long seen the signs.
