[My Bargain Queen]

[Episode 22]

Hello.

Who let you call me

at this time?

I told you

to work it out on your own.

[Xia Qian I am in Room 2011.] Worthless waste.

I'm in Room 2011.

Ai.

Are you alright?

Come on. Come on.

It's okay.

Relax. Relax.

Relax.

Relax.

You know.

Ai?

Ai?

Ai!

She got drunk.

I didn't do anything.

Go away!

Are you alright?

Come on, let me take you back.

Go off!

Be careful.

I didn't know him is such a person.

It's devastating.

Yeah.

No one expected that.

It really scared me.

But I think

I should tell Zhening about it.

- He... - Let it go.

He is the spokesperson of Evergreen now

and he will perform at the opening ceremony tomorrow.

Changing him now

will bring great loss to Evergreen.

Besides,

I blame myself for being blind.

I'm glad you are fine.

[Evergreen Hotel Opening Ceremony]

Miss Qi, long time no see.

I'm sure you have heard of

our guest who is going to perform.

[Qi Lin We are ready for action.] He is the brand spokesperson

of Evergreen Building No. 2,

and also an internationally renowned musician.

He is the famous violinist,

Mr. Lu Ming.

Welcome!

[The spokesperson of Evergreen Building No. 2 is suspected of sexual assault]

Are you behind this?

When did you find it out?

When you pushed for

my publicity plan at the beginning,

I found it strange.

You did it perfectly.

It's Peter Bao who gave himself away.

If I didn't arrive in time,

Ai might have been

assaulted by Peter Bao.

That's what happened.

Ai specifically asked me

not to tell you.

But I thought about it,

and I think I should let you know.

I'm wondering if Qi Lin will use Peter Bao

to attack Evergreen.

Check

all the entertainment news about Peter Bao.

Hurry.

I want the result

before the opening ceremony.

The news you can get,

I can get it, too.

I was worried that you would have a plan B.

The opening ceremony was held as scheduled

and Peter Bao was replaced at the last minute.

You are scrupulous indeed.

But you won.

Changing the spokesperson at the last minute

means the earlier publicity expenses were wasted.

At the same time, many fans of Peter Bao

canceled the reservation at the last minute.

So in the end, I lost,

because I gave you a chance.

Zhening.

In order to acquire Evergreen,

Lihe Capital has staked a lot of chips.

Can't we sit down and talk about

the possibility of a peaceful acquisition?

You know it's good for you.

You know the way Lihe Capital runs the company

better than I do.

Once Evergreen is acquired,

it will be torn apart,

and it will end up

being resold to another company at a high price.

I don't want my father's business philosophy

to be ruined like that.

What? They lost it all?

Well,

what about the money I invested?

The owner of the investment company fled.

Our money is gone.

I mortgaged my house.

If the money is gone,

my house will be...

Your house? The bank may take your house away.

Hello? Hello?

Aunt!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Are you okay, Aunt?

How is Mr. Bao?

Is he back to the U.S.?

He faces more than a dozen charges

and he will go to jail for sure.

Maybe he will also say goodbye

to his career.

That would be the best.

He deserves it.

Although we cut our losses in time,

the occupancy rate of Building No. 2

is not as good as we expected.

I've thought about it.

How about selling the rooms of Building No. 2

in our live streaming studio?

It's a good idea.

Yeah.

I can show my fans

all the room types

and the service in Building No. 2 first.

Maybe it can attract some new customers.

We can try it.

Mom.

Mom, are you okay?

Shuangshuang.

She is fine.

Don't worry.

The doctor

at the clinic just checked her

and said she is fine.

She passed out from shock.

She woke up once earlier,

and then she fell asleep again after taking the medicine.

She is okay. Don't worry.

Thank you.

Luckily, you were there.

You haven't eaten?

You saved my mom's life.

Thank you.

You are finally willing to talk to me.

How much did you pay for my mom?

Not much.

How much is it exactly?

Just not much.

Half a million.

Half a million?

I will pay you back.

You...

You don't need to treat me specially.

I must pay you back,

and I will pay you the interest

according to the interest of bank loans.

If you say so.

Actually, I paid the money for your mom

not because I'm up for anything.

I just don't want the person I care about

to be unhappy.

Don't let it become your burden.

Don't feel burdened.

But if you want to go on blind dates,

I don't think I can stop myself from breaking you up.

I'm the bad guy anyway.

But don't feel burdened.

Is it good?

Friends in our live streaming studio, look this way.

What a sunny day.

If I can have some tea in the afternoon here

and sit in the chair Charlie used to sit in,

it feels so good.

Next, we are going to take a look

at the place

where the romance of him and his wife happened

and feel the work he did before.

Imagine that after a long day

we could take

a nice hot bath here.

The hot water comes out very fast.

You can listen to music

and run a hot bath,

then you can feel

what life is about.

Qin.

Have some meat, come on.

Make yourself at home.

- Thanks. Thanks. - Have more.

- Have more. - Thanks.

Qin.

Well,

we are not related,

but you helped us so much.

I don't understand it.

Well,

actually, we are not totally unrelated.

I mean,

I felt close to you

at the first time I met you.

Just like

you are one of my family.

I guess this is what called fate.

Yeah.

When I first saw you,

I felt so close to you.

You look really kind.

I think we two

really fit each other.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Qin.

You did us a huge favor,

from now on,

you can stay in our inn as long as you want.

Can I live here forever?

No problem.

If you want,

you can stay here in your next life.

In my next life?

Come on. Come on.

Have some meat, come on.

- Come on. - Okay.

Have more. Come on.

Thanks. Thanks.

Mom, you should eat, too.

Eat more and talk less.

Have more.

This kid...

You eat, too.

Be careful, it's hot.

Eat slowly.

This kid...

Are you full?

Yes.

I'll take the plates then.

What are you doing?

Stay here. Stay here.

Shuangshuang.

Take away the bowls.

Go ahead.

Well...

Let me do it.

Let Shuangshuang do it.

Shuangshuang, hurry. Hurry.

Take away the bowls.

Let me do it. Let me do it.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

Come on, give it to me.

Leave it there.

Come on.

Actually, you don't have to...

I lent you money,

but I'm still a volunteer here.

Right?

It's alright.

Shuangshuang.

You broke the bowl again?

It's not me.

It's me.

It's okay. It's okay.

Sorry.

Hold on.

Leave it there.

Don't let it cut your hands.

Shuangshuang.

Get the broom and clean it.

Go, go, go.

Get the broom.

Stay here. Stay here.

Stay here.

Leave it there. We will clean it.

We will clean it.

Sorry.

It's okay. It's okay.

Shuangshuang, hurry up.

Got it.

We have been live streaming for three days,

the number of reservations for Building No. 2

has only increased by 50.

We don't have enough followers.

You said it yourself

that we need to accumulate followers slowly.

Now you want to

get fat on one mouthful.

I'm trying to help you.

Anyway,

our hotel has some connections

in the film and television industry.

I have asked the Marketing Dept.

to contact them.

This is what I think.

I'll let them use part of Building No. 2

for filming

without charging them.

But there is a premise.

The entire crew

must stay in Evergreen Building No. 2.

The occupancy rate

will increase in a short time.

They can also advertise for Building No. 2.

Therefore, don't worry.

Miss Fu.

Thank you for coming to our interview.

We will let you know the result as soon as possible.

When exactly?

Sorry.

I'm not sure about it.

Thanks.

Sorry.

You don't meet

the requirements of our company.

We will let you know

if there are other suitable positions.

Miss Fu.

You should go back and wait for the news.

Sorry, Miss Fu.

Your work experience

doesn't meet our requirements.

Food for foodies now.

Today Xiaoyan will try

the popular scallion noodles for you.

See.

Eat faster

like it's really good.

I have to say,

the noodles are really...

Its only drawback is

that it has no drawback.

It's so good.

This is the worst day of Xiaoyan's on-air career.

Stop it.

The comments were off topic.

They were talking about the food in Evergreen

and they made the scallion noodles in my bowl

not delicious anymore.

I have an idea.

How about we work with Evergreen?

We can sell part of their semi-finished products

in our live streaming studio.

It's a good idea.

Maybe

we can achieve a win-win situation.

By the way,

we have a quality control meeting at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Do you want to give it a try?

Okay.

I'll be there and give it a try.

We will only discuss about it.

Just do

a brief presentation

of the project.

Don't stay up late to prepare for it.

Who will stay up late?

I won't stay up late.

Got it.

[Good morning]

[Waiting for the driver 45 minutes]

Zhening.

How did you come?

I knew you would stay up all night.

It's not easy to get a cab in the morning,

so I came earlier to pick you up.

Being prepared and ready

will give people confidence.

Let me be clear first.

You must be objective and fair

about this project

at the quality control meeting later.

Don't treat me specially.

Okay, I see.

I will be objective and fair.

All right.

That's basically what the project is about.

Is there anything you want to ask?

I think it's good.

Miss Xia is very thoughtful.

What about the target customers?

The food of Evergreen

is first-class both in terms of ingredients

and production.

The price won't be low.

Our main customers should be office workers

who pursue better quality of life.

What's your plan for

the pre-production funds?

Mr. Sheng, here is my plan.

We plan to pre-sell it

in our live streaming studio.

The money we get from pre-sale

will be invested in the subsequent production.

Actually, compared to funds,

what we need more

is Evergreen's technical support.

What I worry the most

is the taste of the food.

Can you make sure

the taste of the semi-finished food

is exactly the same

as the food in the restaurant?

I can't guarantee that right now.

But I will make

a product sample as soon as possible.

I hope Mr. Sheng can taste it in person.

Evergreen isn't doing well

in e-commerce.

I hope we can use this project

to test the water first.

Manager Liu.

You will cooperate with Miss Xia in this project.

Okay, Mr. Sheng.

Hope we will have a good time working together.

So do I.

You were so serious.

There was a moment

that I thought you don't know me.

Didn't you ask me to be objective and fair?

You should be objective and fair,

but you can do it in a gentler way.

Okay.

I'll change it next time.

Do you want to have lunch together?

No.

I have work to do in the company.

Next time.

What's wrong?

It's okay. I'm fine.

Are you having a low blood sugar?

I'll fine in a minute.

Have a candy.

Come on.

When did you get it?

I've been carrying it with me.

I'm much better.

Let me take you home.

I heard the project of Mr. Sheng's girlfriend passed the quality control meeting.

Our company's quality control meeting

is notoriously hard to pass.

If you were Mr. Sheng's girlfriend,

you would it too.

That's true.

Who dares to object to the project of Mr. Sheng's girlfriend?

Have some soup.

Mom.

Shuangshuang.

Look who is here.

He is here to introduce a job to you.

Yes.

I heard that you are looking for a job.

My company happens to be hiring an accountant.

Do you want to come and try it?

No, no.

I can't trouble you anymore.

Why did you stop me?

They were right.

It's hard to meet you

if I'm not your girlfriend,

let alone explain the whole project

to you in detail,

and I got a chance

to attend the quality control meeting.

I did get the benefit

of being your girlfriend.

How could I

bargain for stolen goods?

I really don't care what they say.

Besides,

if I don't want them to gossip,

the only thing I can do now

is to do the project well

and bring more benefits

for Evergreen and Worth Or Not.

All right.

Aunt, please stay.

- Just leave me here. - Lin.

Take care.

Come again when you have time.

Okay, okay.

Bye bye.

I'm leaving, bye.

Aunt, I'm leaving.

Be safe.

Okay.

Well,

it's a good job opportunity.

Why not accept it?

If I do,

he will go bankrupt.

What did you say?

Nothing.

You just can't stop

making me worry.

Hello.

Is this Miss Fu?

Hello. Hello.

Hello.

I am the HR of Ivy Technology.

I'm sorry.

You didn't pass

the interview for our secretarial job.

Thank you for notifying me.

But our company

is still hiring salespeople.

Are you interested?

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Well, then,

- you can come to the company. - Okay.

Goodbye.

Try this.

The sealed sauce

can basically keep the taste unchanged.

The scallion noodles

and the pastry

are more complicated.

If stored for long,

the scallion oil will deteriorate in taste.

Its reputation is well-deserved.

How long is the shelf life

of the scallion noodles?

Three days at most

if you want to keep its taste.

Three days at most?

There is no way to

deliver it to the remote area.

We will lose a large part of the market.

There is a solution.

The shelf life can be extended

with some additives

and the taste won't be changed much.

The main selling point of Evergreen food is

organic and healthy.

If we add preservatives,

it will go against the original intention.

Why are the noodles so good?

Chef Fang.

Can you give me more samples

of the scallion noodles?

I want others to try it.

No problem.

Thanks.

It's good.

It's good.

How is it?

The noodles are a little hard.

Hard?

It's not cooked for long enough.

It should be cooked a litter longer.

Yeah. Yeah.

I don't get it.

Why does Evergreen

make scallion noodles

better than other restaurants?

What did they put in it?

It's a special recipe handed down from their ancestors.

It's a secret.

There is nothing special.

Good chefs usually do subtraction.

Evergreen use good ingredients,

and the food tastes good naturally.

If there is really any recipe,

I think he uses brown sugar

instead of white sugar.

So it tastes

creamier and smoother.

Well, well.

Your cooking skills

vary every day.

You are cheeky enough to comment on the chef of Evergreen.

Just eat. Eat.

Come on.

I need more opinions.

That's it. I want more noodles.

There is nothing left.

My goodness.

Hello, Sister Wang.

I'll be at your house soon.

I'll be there

very soon.

Sorry, Fu.

I'm outside now.

I thought we agreed

that I would come to your house today to give you a try on

the new skincare product launched by our company.

I have no time today.

Next time.

Hello? Hello?

Now our products

have been determined.

Take a look.

What we are going to do next

is to prepare for the launch.

Xiaoyan.

I need you to write the advertising copy

for the live streaming based on the products.

We will presell the products

in our live streaming studio tomorrow.

Okay.

Ai.

Can you make a budget plan?

What's wrong?

Qian.

Can I do something else?

I have been bad at math since I was a child.

It used to be Shuangshuang's work.

I don't know how she is doing now.

It's okay.

I'll do it.

Sisters.

Today, Xiaoyan brings you

a special surprise.

That's it,

the luxury food gift box of Evergreen.

Last time, I heard

that you want to have the food of Evergreen.

If you buy it,

you can bring Evergreen's restaurant to home.

How does it taste?

Let's try it now.

Is it finished? How is it?

Let me see.

It's finished.

What's wrong?

Two thousand.

Really.

We sold two thousand

in the first day.

Zhening, I'm so happy.

I didn't expect that it would sell so well.

I feel like dreaming now.

Do you want to eat out with me to celebrate it?

Okay.

No.

I have to make the products now.

Although we are off to a good start,

whether it can

keep selling well

depends on the feedback of our first customers.

Is Chef Fang at the hotel today?

I have some details to talk to him.

Mr. Sheng.

Chef Fang resigned.

Mr. Qin.

I'm the chairman of Langyue Hotel,

Wu Zhiwen.

I heard that you resigned from Evergreen.

I worry if you are interested in

the position of general manager at our hotel.

Langyue Hotel is already

one of the best hotel chains.

I personally

have no experience running a hotel chain.

I'm afraid...

Mr. Qin.

Don't be humble.

You were managing Evergreen for so many years.

Your ability is obvious to all.

Why don't you think about it?

Mom.

Get me some water!

Hurry. Hurry.

How about this,

I'll consider it

and I'll reply to you.

Okay, thank you.

Hurry up! Hurry! The dishes are ready. Hurry.

Are the dished ready?

They've rushed the dishes times.

Hurry up! Hurry!

Table 6 is rushing again. Hurry.

It will be ready soon.

Chef Fang handed in his resignation letter today.

He said something came up at home.

Then we can't contact him.

The Food & Beverage Dept. needs to stop

all the work in the next few days.

Wouldn't it be a big loss?

The reputation of Evergreen Restaurant

can't be measurable by money.

Hurry up and contact the headhunters

to find a chef as soon as possible.

Got it.

Here you are.

I'm so tired.

Look at you.

You've been working only for a few days

and your face is getting smaller.

Right?

It's okay. I want to lose weight anyway.

Qin, come here.

You came just right. Well,

you and Shuangshuang

go out to eat later.

I'm going to visit her grandma

and I won't be back tonight.

Hello.

- Shuangshuang. - Sir.

There is a dinner tonight.

I've sent you the address.

Get here now.

I'm back home.

Do you still want a percentage of your sales?

Yes. Yes.

Okay.

Well, give me some time.

Hurry.

What's wrong?

Our leader said

there is a dinner I need to go.

I'm leaving.

Aren't we having dinner together?

Go by yourself.

I...

Don't worry about

the orders of the semi-finished products.

I can refund the deposit to the customers.

But it will affect the reputation of

your live streaming studio.

Let's wait for a few more days

and see if we can find the right chef.

And also,

Chef Fang has been working for Evergreen for so many years,

why did he suddenly resign?

It should be Qi Lin who did it.

How is Chef Fang's son?

It's all arranged.

The admission in the U.S.

is also finished.

Chef Fang also wants to know

when he can get his green card.

Tell him to not worry about it.

We promised him

and we will do it for him.

Shuangshaung! Shuangshuang!

Shuangshuang.

Why are you so drunk?

Mom, I'm home.

No.

Here is your bag.

How did you get so drunk?

Why did you drink so much?

It's okay. I can do it!

Mom, why are you holding me?

Yes, your mom is holding you.

Why are you so strong?

Your mom is a strong woman.

Put me down.

Who let you drink so much?

Mom, don't go.

Sleep with me.

It's just a job.

Do you have to drink that much?

Where are you going?

Have breakfast.

I'll eat at the company.

You don't need to go.

I helped you resign from your company.

Resign?

Wait.

Why did you do that?

I finally found a job.

You're too slow to make money the way you are.

I hope you can

pay back half a million in one year.

In one year?

Where am I gonna

earn half a million in one year?

Don't worry about it.

I found a job for you.

What job is it?

I'm going to start a live streaming company

and you will be hired as a bargainer

and an anchor.

Let's talk while eating.

According to the list given by the headhunter,

Hu Zhen is the right person.

Chef Hu

and our Chef Fang

used to learn from the same teacher.

He should know Chef Fang's cooking skills the best.

Let me warn you

that Chef Hu is the most difficult one to hire.

I heard that many high-end restaurants

tried to hire him at a high price,

and he refused them.

Let's give it a try.

[Uncle Hu]

I pressed the wrong number.

1822201075.

[Uncle Hu]

Sheng.

He...

What's wrong?

How is it possible?

Hello.

Are you chef Hu Zhen?

The fire is too strong.

It's not easy. You do it.

You do that. I'll do it.

Put this next. This one.

Okay.

Didn't I just teach you the day before yesterday?

How did you forget it again?

Sorry.

I'm old.

I don't remember clearly.

How about you teach me again?

Your cooking skills are fluctuating.

I'd fire you

if I wasn't afraid

you'd never get a job out there.

I know it. I know it.

Time to put oyster sauce.

Okay. Okay.

Uncle Hu is Chef Hu?

Why is he a little different from the legend?

Since Sheng is Qian's boyfriend,

I'll help you.

Thanks, Uncle Hu.

Uncle Hu.
