EPISODE 31

An Zhen, please.

My life depends on you.

Pretty please.

I can't, I really can't.

An Zhen, please help me out this time.

What are you doing?

Get up!

Gosh...

You little brat.

An Zhen.

I've been begging you for so long.

Aren't you at least a little bit moved?

Ah Tang.

It's not that.

You know I get nervous very easily.

I don't want to make you look bad. Do you understand?

Ah Zhen.

You've always been nice to me.

I'm begging you.

If I get fired now, I won't have any savings.

If I don't have any savings, then I won't be able to get married.

If I can't marry someone,

my parents will be so sad.

-Then they'll-- -Okay.

So...

Okay. I'll help you just this once.

-Really? -Yes.

Yeah!

Hooray for An Zhen!

An Zhen, you are the best!

Yeah!

An Zhen.

Hey.

An Zhen, I will always be grateful.

-Stop it. Help me carry these. -Okay.

Follow me.

WEN CHUANG

An Zhen, come.

-Sit here. -Okay.

An Zhen, wait here.

When the stylist is done, she'll help you.

Okay, Ah Tang.

I'm a little nervous.

An Zhen, don't be nervous.

Go! You can do it.

Okay.

-I'll go prepare the ingredients, then. -Okay.

No way.

What are you doing here?

He Ai Lin.

You got prettier.

No, you did.

So why are you here?

Oh. I... I'm here to participate in the show, Happy Kitchen.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to participate in a serious finance program.

They are asking me to analyze the needs of next year's market.

So awesome.

-Ms. He Ai Lin. -Yes.

You're here for the show, Search for Happiness?

-Yes. -Sorry.

There's a delay in the previous segment.

Please wait here.

-Okay. -Thank you.

Why are you laughing?

I'm... I'm not laughing.

You are laughing on the inside.

I'm really not laughing.

Blind dates. It's a good thing.

I... I'm actually here to help a friend out.

I know. Me, too.

Director He, when you go on the program,

make sure to smile

because you look so pretty when you smile.

You won't look so fierce.

You don't have to call me Director He anymore.

So should I call you Vice President He?

I already quit.

Who's Ms. Xie?

-I am. -You.

-Come. Sit here. -Okay.

You are beautiful.

I'll just need to touch up a little.

-Okay, thank you. -Okay.

Something urgent came up for Mr. Zhuang so he had to go.

He asked me to give this to you.

Ai Lin,

I don't know how to tell you this,

so I wrote a letter instead.

I don't know how the president got hold of Li Wei En's flier.

She sent people to investigate her secretly,

and found that a lot of data was missing.

So she knew there was a problem.

Sorry, Ai Lin.

I can't keep you safe anymore.

Ai Lin, I don't know how to tell you this.

What should I do?

I need to calm down.

I'm doomed.

Everything is ruined.

Ai Lin.

Can I call you Ai Lin?

Hey.

Don't reject me, okay?

Whatever.

It was nice to meet you today.

I'm going on television, bye.

Is it starting?

Xie An...

Xie An Zhen, Xie An Zhen.

Besides cooking, she's not... Never mind.

-She cooks really well. -It's super good.

And An Zhen's curry rice and dumplings are so good.

I drool whenever I think of An Zhen.

No.

I drool whenever I think of An Zhen's cooking.

Our An Zhen can cook all kinds of dishes.

So good! Let's cheer An Zhen on, okay?

-Okay. -One, two, three.

-Go An Zhen! -Go An Zhen!

Yeah.

Wow!

We have a lot of expectations.

This is very exciting.

Today on Happy Kitchen,

we have a foodie.

She is very beautiful.

Let's welcome Ms. Xie An Zhen!

Hello, hosts and teachers.

-Hello, Ms. Xie. -Hello.

Welcome to our show.

What do you do for a living, Ms. Xie?

I'm a car saleswoman.

-Car saleswoman. -Car saleswoman.

It's too much, Master Qiu.

Have you ever met such a beautiful woman when you bought cars?

-No. -No, right?

But it's okay. Next time we buy cars,

we'll find Ms. Xie.

Today, Ms. Xie will bring us her signature dish.

Ms. Xie, what kind of dish will you be making today?

I will make a special curry rice.

Special curry rice.

It's a very homely, delicious dish.

Are you confident in your skills?

Huh?

Are you confident

that you'll get the certificate from Master Qiu?

So-so.

How can it be just "so-so?" You are too modest.

I do. I am confident

She does. She is confident.

Okay. The most important thing in our program

is to have sincerity and confidence to showcase your cooking skills.

Let's go back to our happy kitchen.

It smells good.

It smells really good.

The recording studio smells really good.

Ms. Xie, the part you are doing is...

I'm boiling some sauce.

I added Indian curry powder inside

and various other spices.

It's my own secret recipe.

My child and husband...

They like it.

Which husband wouldn't like

such good dishes and curry rice.

Master Qiu, do you like it, too?

It's not bad. I didn't know that such a beautiful woman

can make such good, professional dishes, too.

As the saying goes,

"To get a man's heart,

you have to go through his stomach."

So I think Ms. Xie's husband

must have given his whole heart to her.

Am I right?

I'm actually divorced.

Right, she's divorced.

How can this happen?

Sorry, I meant,

really, being able to make such good curry rice and can...

In the past, I always liked to mix the curry and the rice.

My ex-husband told me ten years later

that he liked the curry and rice separate when served.

He actually taught me something.

It's that curry and rice

don't always have to be together.

Sometimes it's better to be separate.

It's the crux of the problem.

Rice and curry,

should they be together or separate?

If they are separate, then wouldn't there be...

a third party involved?

Sorry, I shouldn't ask this deeply

and violate your privacy.

But if you want to share it with us, I'm sure

that we and the viewers would be happy to listen.

Of course, if you don't want to,

we can cut it out when we broadcast it.

Okay. I just wanted to ask you.

Do you really hate your husband?

Even though my husband fell in love with someone else,

I think he was brave to be able to make that decision.

You see,

he was brave enough to give up

the peaceful, safe life

for the sake of his love, right?

So I've decided

to go forth myself

in a happy way

to be my daughter's role model.

No matter what obstacles I face,

I'll be strong and optimistic.

Ai Lin,

cheer up!

Even though we both lost the thing dearest to us,

it's okay.

We still have ourselves.

This is just fate wanting us to learn something new.

That's it. Don't be afraid.

Right?

The true solution

is to be ourselves.

Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Okay?

Well said.

That was so moving.

This is what makes home dishes so great.

Behind every dish, there is a touching story.

It has our true emotions.

The true solution

is to be ourselves.

Don't be afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Okay?

Baby.

Son.

Yes?

-What? -Are you admiring your own artwork?

Xie An Zhen is not my artwork.

She is who she is.

A big star.

-She's famous. -Wow!

He said it wouldn't be broadcasted.

-It's so embarrassing. -Don't be afraid.

-Don't be afraid. -Don't be afraid.

-Don't be afraid. -Don't be afraid.

-So annoying. -Don't be afraid.

-Don't be afraid. -Don't be afraid.

-Don't be afraid. -Don't be afraid.

My husband fell in love with someone else.

I think he was brave to be able to make that decision.

You see,

he was brave enough to give up

the peaceful, safe life

for the sake of his love, right?

So I've decided

to go forth myself

in a happy way

to be my daughter's role model.

No matter what obstacles I face,

I'll be strong and optimistic.

Last Saturday on Happy Kitchen,

the guest, Xie An Zhen's brilliant speech

became catalyst for many calls from the viewers to cheer her up

and requests for re-run of the show.

"Don't be afraid" became the new trend on the Internet.

It is very inspirational.

-Thank you. -Ms. Xie, you are awesome.

-It was well said. -Thank you.

That's right. Don't be afraid.

-Right, don't be afraid. -Just let those stupid men go.

Just let them go.

Ms. Xie.

You are so awesome. Can you sign an autograph for me?

-So famous. -Then I want an autograph, too.

You forget your old friends when you become famous.

You forget all your seniors.

You forget who was by your side

holding your hands, supporting you, telling you to not be afraid.

Please, when did you say that?

What did you say?

No one knows how to respect seniors in the company anymore.

Okay.

What are you looking at?

Go introduce the cars.

Tien Wei,

when can you transform me, too?

You?

-There's no room to improve. -You're so brave.

I think you're so great!

I knew you were paying attention to me.

-Okay. Thank you. -You are welcome.

I want it, too.

-Okay, thank you. -I want it, too.

-Thank you. -Your autograph is as pretty as you.

-Thanks. -Why are you such a good person?

-Can I take a picture with you? Please. -Yes, please.

It's on re-run again.

Is there no end to it?

What does An Zhen want?

Portraying herself as the weak

and then showing the public her life.

Causing us to be misunderstood and condemned.

I don't know why I felt so guilty towards her before.

There's no need.

I did too much.

It's okay as long as we know what we are doing.

You can't expect everyone to understand us.

What?

So she can speak slander against us on the media?

It's not like she has nothing.

A house and a car. She has everything.

She just doesn't have a husband to love her.

Why is she trying to get pitied by playing the victim?

Can we only bow down to the humiliation

and become someone whom everyone hates forever?

An Zhen is not that type of person.

I'm sure she said it because the host said it won't be broadcasted.

You believe her? You believe her?

She's different than before.

She's become scary now, you know?

Li Wei En, haven't you had enough?

You keep making things up out of thin air.

Do you want me to hold a press conference?

Do you want me to tell everyone

that Xie An Zhen lied and I didn't do anything wrong?

Do you want that?

I'm telling you, this has nothing to do with you.

I cheated on her.

So I can accept the whole world scolding me.

This is the truth. I have nothing to say.

And I need to find a job. Can you not bother me anymore?

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Let's eat.

I didn't think

that there would be such an enthusiastic response.

An Zhen. you make me look good.

It's nothing. I was just saying what came up my mind.

My sister-in-law, what are you being embarrassed for?

Don't call her sister-in-law anymore, okay?

Oh, okay.

Kang De, thank you.

Why didn't you tell me that Ai Lin quit?

I was afraid that you'd tell Rui Fan,

and then he'll be too proud.

It has already hurt both parties, why would he be proud?

It's nothing. An Zhen, let me tell you something,

our producer said that the way you speak is very cute and open.

He wants to ask you to be the assistant host.

What? How is that possible?

It's true.

And the broadcasting station is drawing up a contract.

They may call you next week.

I'm just telling you this in advance so you can be prepared for it.

An Zhen, you'll be famous.

God knows what she's doing...

An Zhen, you've become famous.

Please. I can't possibly be a host.

I thought so, too.

-Are you Xie An Zhen? -Yes.

Can you sign an autograph for us?

Autograph...

You are really... famous.

Okay.

Sorry. It's my first autograph so...

-Thank you. -Then can we take a picture with you?

-Okay. -Okay.

Take a picture.

Big star.

Hey, sorry.

Our company only allows autographs, not pictures.

Why?

It's a company rule.

The company sent me to be with her.

Please don't put me in an awkward position.

Okay. That's okay. Ms. Xie, don't be afraid.

-You have to cheer up. -Okay.

-Cheer up! -Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, Ai Lin!

Go away. Go to the other side.

Ai Lin, please sit.

Are you hungry?

Come on.

Ai Lin, please come here.

What are you doing here?

What? I can't be here?

I invited Ai Lin.

If it wasn't for Ai Lin,

I wouldn't have been able to say those words.

Ai Lin, why didn't you allow An Zhen to take pictures with other people?

It's simple. I'm sure they'll put those ugly pictures up

on weird places or on the Internet.

It's not a good idea.

That makes sense.

Ai Lin, that's wise.

-Hao Kang De. -Yes?

Stop brown-nosing.

I am not your boss anymore.

Did you forget?

Right.

Right.

Sorry. Old habits die hard.

Ai Lin, you came just in time.

Help me persuade An Zhen.

Persuade?

Our company wants to hire her as an assistant host.

-But she doesn't want to do it. -It's not that.

Ah Tang, I'm scared just by hearing you talk about it.

Scared?

Who was saying something like,

"Don't be afraid."

"The true solution is to be yourself?"

Ai Lin, you are so good at imitating others.

Wise. So wise.

No. Even if I wanted to,

I still don't know anything about contracts.

So it's still useless. Never mind.

Contracts...

Just find a manager for contracts.

You can just focus on making your dishes.

-Manager? -Yes.

What are you looking at?

-Thank you, Ai Lin. -Thank you, Ai Lin.

I didn't say that I wanted to be the manager.

An Zhen, let me tell you.

Now you can focus on doing what you want.

Ai Lin's got your back.

It's harder not to succeed.

You guys don't understand Chinese?

-Thank you, Ai Lin. -Thank you, Ai Lin.

Today's celebratory dinner needs to thank one more person.

-Who? -It's that...

Remember to not tell An Zhen that I recommended her.

Got it?

What are you saying?

Tell us who that person is.

Nothing. It's no one.

Are you talking about Mr. Lan?

I did invite him but he said he couldn't come.

Let's eat.

Ai Lin, eat.

Why can't I go when I want to?

Why?

That's not possible.

It can't be that I...

Sorry, Sir.

Do you have another card?

You can't use this one.

Sir, do you have another card?

This one can't be used, either.

It's for you.

Sorry.

I shouldn't be angry at you.

Come in.

Sorry.

Rui Fan, I have something to discuss with you. Is that okay?

-Okay. Wait for me. -Okay.

It's okay. It's nothing. Okay？

It's nothing.

Really?

That's great.

Congratulations.

Stop that. You are congratulating me?

I don't know what I should do.

I think you should try it.

Really?

But if I fail this, it'll be so embarrassing.

It won't be.

I see potential in you.

If you are determined to do something, you'll succeed for sure.

Really...

Okay. Then honey, I...

Sorry. It's an old habit.

I just wanted to tell you.

Can you not tell others yet?

I haven't decided yet.

Just trust me.

No one talks to me anyways.

I don't have anyone to say it to.

Rui Fan, I've thought about it.

I won't let Yu Meng hate you nor Wei En.

After a few days, I want to tell your parents

to allow you and Wei En to go back and visit them.

What do you think?

Thank you.

Hey.

Cheer up.

Okay?

You, too.

You are here.

What are you thinking about?

I was listening to music.

Listen closely.

I almost forgot that before marriage,

I really liked listening to music alone.

When I think about it,

I think after marriage,

I lost a lot of zest in my life.

If I made one less meal

or cleaned one less time,

I could have used that time to watch a movie with my husband

or go see a concert,

or perhaps, just have a good conversation. I think it would have been worth it.

I get angry when you say things like that.

Zest in marriage involves two people.

It wasn't just your responsibility.

If he wanted zest, why didn't he create some himself?

Was he just waiting for his wife to give it to him?

That's ridiculous.

Why are you so emotional?

Why are you two here first? Where's my wife?

Kang De, did you bring a gift for Rui Xuan?

Of course. How can I not?

I've got it. It's right here.

Ta-da!

Look. I saved all my bonus for two months

and all my savings

to buy this.

-Doesn't it show my sincerity? -Yes.

There's sincerity but no creativity.

You are...

Okay. Then you suggest something that's funny and creative.

-Sorry. -That's not funny.

Let me tell you a secret.

Rui Xuan prepared a gift for you, too.

Really? Where? What gift?

It's a new wife.

I don't want it.

I love Wen Rui Xuan very much.

I want her to be my wife. I don't want a new wife.

I didn't cheat.

I don't want a divorce.

She doesn't want to divorce.

Then what is it?

Thank you. Thank you.

I love you, too.

She's my wife. Go away,

Go away.

-Go away. -What are you doing?

You are embarrassing me.

Just let them look.

-Hey! -Rui Xuan.

-You are so pretty. -I know.

Rui Xuan.

-What? -Why are you dressed like this?

What? Don't I look pretty?

No. You look so...

white, and your breasts look big.

It's all thanks to Tien Wei's birthday present.

Thank you.

You gave it to her?

Your wife picked it.

I just paid.

You paid? You paid?

Say it louder. You paid?

Yes.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You don't know how expensive this is.

I couldn't afford it for so long.

Thank you, Tien Wei.

So you have to work hard to earn money.

I will. I will.

Rui Wei, why are you like this?

I work hard to earn money.

-You work hard? -Right.

-You do hard work? -Right.

If you saved up enough money to buy this,

Michael Jackson would resurrect.

Rui Xuan, what are you talking about?

Lan Tien Wei. I don't care what your title is.

You made my wife dress like this.

If someone flirts with her and takes her away, then...

Then I'll flick your forehead.

Honey,

I've prepared a present for you.

Did you get me a watch so I can be a whore?

-It's pretty. -Yes.

Thank you.

Are they not here?

No.

Are you insane?

Inviting them to live here...

Don't you feel crappy?

He's Yu Meng's dad.

And people all have troubled times like this.

I don't want to make it worse.

Then that'll be difficult.

Difficult?

-Didn't you want me to be your manager? -Yes.

Are you going to listen to your manager?

Of course I will.

The first thing I want you to do

is to make this work for you.

Tell the public about you and Rui Fan

when people still recognize you.

Then you'll get more pity and support.

That's not good.

Hey.

If you don't want to say it,

then I'll make it into an accident.

It's not that.

Sorry. I don't want to do that.

I can't say it.

Why not?

I'm not asking you to lie. You are telling the truth.

I know.

But I have to consider Yu Meng.

I don't want rumors flying around her school.

Kids will grow up anyways.

It won't be that bad.

You don't know because you are not a mom.

Of course I want a new life for myself.

But I can't sacrifice my child.

See.

You can't even do the first thing I asked you to do.

Sorry, Ai Lin.

But I can do everything else

besides this.

Okay?

Okay.

I'm not a professional anyways.

I'm not a professional, either.

I just want to try something new.

Then try it.

Thank you, Ai Lin.
