Why are you so happy?

You're even singing.

How can I not be happy?

Our great savior, Mr. Shu,

is coming back today.

He is coming back today?

Listen,

An Zhijiang wanted to cause trouble to Mr. Shu,

so he specially invited a doctor from abroad

to perform a health checkup to Mr. Shu.

Who knew, that doctor is Mr. Shu's friend.

Now, Mr. Shu is fine

and coming back today.

That guy is a doctor?

Yes.

Just a regular doctor?

Nothing else between them?

Looks like they are old friends.

They probably met while he's studying abroad.

Let me ask you something.

Why are you being so mysterious?

Keep your voice down.

Who told you that?

Who else could it be?

Don't tell me it's Fang Meng.

Who else then?

Think about it.

Fang Meng's been with Mr. Shu for so long,

and there's been no progress.

Is that even possible?

And Fang Meng said

whenever Mr. Shu gets close to her,

he's particularly fearful.

Maybe she's just overthinking it.

You don't know

some people nowadays are really good

at hiding things.

Please stop it.

You know what?

You're giving me a headache.

Why?

You even ask me why.

I've spent all day with Mr. Shu, even going to the bathroom.

Thinking about it now, I'm kind of scared.

You're not…

Don't you know what kind of person I am?

Alright.

Forget it. Forget it.

Don't think too much about it.

The point is

that Mr. Shu is back today,

which means my good days are back.

Hello, Mr. Shu.

Mr. Shu!

Is it funny?

I'm not laughing.

Mr. Shu.

Is it funny?

Mr. Shu.

What's the matter?

Are you okay?

Did the checkup really go well?

(Hua Su)

How can a grand opening start with only one person here?

Come on. There are no customers here.

Why's the stair polished so slippery?

Who's asking you to do something weird?

And you even flicked your trench coat.

I was trying to surprise you.

It's been a few days.

It's time to take a fresh look.

You even read some books these days?

Just a little.

Ouch.

But

why are you back?

Didn't you work for someone else?

I missed you.

Only Hua Su can give me

that feeling of home.

But why did I hear

when you were working for someone else,

you denied ever working at Hua Su?

What? Who told you that?

That's not true.

You're making things up.

I've asked around.

Do you want to know

who said it?

Come on, Meng.

It was just to get by.

You know, Hua Su had a bad reputation before.

Then I must tell you

that Hua Su's reputation isn't good now, either.

- What are you doing? - After working for someone else,

I realized

Hua Su is the only place that truly cares about me.

Those people

didn't treat me well.

Meng, you're the only one who's been good to me.

Stop acting.

You saw right through me.

Anyway, I'm back now.

I'm not leaving this time.

I'm staying.

Why are you sighing?

I've learned my Dad's four dishes.

Four dishes.

Mr. Shu taught you?

Don't mention him.

What happened? Did you two break up?

No.

The contract expired.

You've learned four dishes now.

That's Master Pi's daughter.

Impressive.

But four dishes

won't be enough to save Hua Su.

Meng, listen to me.

You should do what you did before.

Have them come and do a live cooking challenge.

That way, we can still make money.

And with your special talent for bad cooking,

it'll be even better.

Shut up.

It's just a joke. Why are you getting mad?

Wait for me.

Everyone,

let's give a warm welcome to Mr. Shu.

Welcome, welcome.

What are they all laughing at?

You promised me

you wouldn't get involved in my work.

Mr. Shu,

shall we start the meeting?

Thanks to everyone's care and hard work,

our Food Street Plan has moved

forward smoothly

during the days I was away.

I've mentioned before,

as for the introduction of local cuisine…

Mr. Shu,

you're gonna talk about Hua Su, right?

I'm not.

Mr. Shu, considering your current state,

are you sure you're able to return to work?

Yes,

Hua Su cannot represent local cuisine.

I think all types of food

should be considered for assessment,

not just star-rated restaurants

that deserve this privilege.

It's about respect for food

and a responsibility to the customers.

Currently, more than ten

top star-rated restaurants in the city

have already reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with us.

I believe

this high demand

and high standards

truly show our respect and responsibility to the market

and our customers.

I agree with Manager An.

Since we are implementing the Food Street Plan,

we need to raise the standard bar.

Otherwise, why even bother with this project?

I also agree with Manager An.

I agree, too.

Agreed

(Hua Su)

Welcome.

Let's call it a day.

It's still early. Why get off work now?

Anyway, there's no customer here.

You can go home now.

You're reopening Hua Su,

so it's expected there's no customer.

Maybe people don't even know

that Hua Su has reopened for business.

How about

I give out flyers tomorrow?

Dazui,

it's not that people don't know,

but Hua Su's reputation

has been ruined.

No one trusts us anymore.

But the milk incident was already resolved.

That's just one thing.

The main issue is

that the reputation of our dishes is beyond repair.

That's the consequence of letting those livestreams happen.

I knew we shouldn't have done that.

Meng,

why don't we do a livestream, too?

Don't mention it.

We could promote Hua Su

and our dishes ourselves.

Let's give it a try.

It's better than just sitting here, right?

You know, Mr. Shu,

everyone's teamed up with An Zhijiang

while you were away.

In my opinion,

you should stop talking about Hua Su.

They are using it

to bring you down.

Think about it.

How much trouble has it caused you already?

This guy has freeloaded on Hua Su so many times,

and now he's turning his back on us.

Next

is our

most excellent signature dish,

"Fragrant Delights Soup".

Oh my!

It's so tasty, and the meat melts in your mouth,

it's smooth, and rich but not greasy.

Oh no.

Where is everyone?

Come on.

Why did they go?

Meng, I'm not kidding.

There were six people earlier,

and now there's no one left.

Meng,

listen to me.

(Hua Su)

Mr. Shu,

wear it.

Don't let the Company know we're at Hua Su.

You brat.

I told you to keep quiet, but you didn't listen.

It's not my fault.

You actually hit me over Hua Su.

You won't wear it,

but I will.

Meng,

this is my first livestream.

I don't have much experience.

I'll try again later.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

I just

don't know what to do.

Don't lose hope.

Maybe

we should sell Hua Su.

What?

Sell Hua Su?

You let me really down.

No, I mean

selling Hua Su will let Master Pi down.

Do you think

I'm not letting him down now?

If I close it now,

Hua Su may leave a good impression in people's hearts.

But if I keep this up,

there will be nothing good left.

Fang Meng,

Mr. Shu is to see you.

Oh my! Mr. Shu.

You're dressed like my uncle.

Why are you here?

You resume your post.

And why did you come here?

What do you mean?

You don't reply to messages or answer my calls.

What do I mean?

I already made myself clear last time.

Don't bother me anymore.

What exactly did you make clear?

Besides, you are my girlfriend.

Why can't I come to see you?

Did you ever treat me as your girlfriend?

Of course I have.

I don't want to talk to you.

Go find your Doctor Mark.

What's wrong with Doctor Mark?

Dazui, see them out.

Please leave.

Chuxiao, let's go.

Take care, Uncle.

(Hua Su)

What's wrong with Doctor Mark?

I'll explain it on the way.

Stupid man.

Why don't you ever try to cheer me up?

- Meng. - Get lost.

She's just a young girl.

Cut her some slack.

Did I bully her?

This is all your fault!

How's this my fault?

If you weren't watching us every day,

would I treat her like that?

If I didn't treat her that way,

would she even suspect me?

I am her father.

I have to protect her.

You protect her? Are you going to protect her forever?

You are inside my body now.

How can we date?

You can date whoever you want,

just not her.

Otherwise, my relationship with her will be ruined.

These clothes

and those insane behaviors

are all you're doing!

Fine, fine.

From now on,

I won't interfere with your clothes, okay?

Wear whatever you want. Even if you wear nothing, I won't care.

That's not the point here.

Am I supposed to tell her

you're inside my body?

She'd still get mad. Don't you get it?

Girls are easy to be pleased.

Just do something to cheer her up.

I can cheer her up.

But can you stop interfering with us?

Stay quietly in my body, please!

Do you know that?

I even feel like I'm going crazy.

I…

I just

get so bored in here.

I'll try to behave, okay?

Now, Fang Meng has already learned

four dishes, right?

There are two more to go.

Once she's done,

I promise

to try my best not to appear. Deal?

You swear?

Yes, I swear.

Deal.

- What's wrong, An'an? - Brother Zhengyan.

What happened?

Why did he suddenly disappear?

I don't know. Maybe he's mad at me.

It's understandable.

Shi Kai is back,

and he might feel like he got played.

I didn't play around with him.

I really like him.

Yes,

I didn't expect

Shi Kai to suddenly return.

But I quickly figured things out.

I was going to talk to him

once everything was settled.

Who knew he just left

without a word?

I can't find him anywhere.

Do you think

he might be on a ledge

- and leave me forever? - Alright, An'an.

Stop overthinking it.

He's an adult.

There's no way he'd do something like that.

But I can't reach him at all.

Should I call the police?

It's not that serious.

He probably never wants to see me again.

How about…

Quick, retreat.

How about

you go find Fang Meng?

She might be able to reach him.

You're right. I'll go now.

Wait a moment.

I'll go with you.

No need, Brother. You're so busy.

I don't want to bother you.

I can go by myself.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'll go with you.

Maybe she won't tell you the truth.

Yes, you're right.

Let's go. Hurry up!

- There's no time, Brother. - I haven't changed my shoes, An'an.

(Hua Su)

I can't live

without Xie Jun.

An'an,

easy, easy.

An'an, don't cry.

Even if you cry,

I don't know where Xie Jun is.

Am I disturbing your business?

Actually, there's no business right now.

Rest assured.

Am I interrupting your work?

Actually, I don't have any work to do.

I can't find him.

I want to cry, too.

Fang Meng,

please don't cry, okay?

I swear

I won't come to find you again.

I'm crying while you're sleeping?

I… I…

I wasn't sleeping.

You were sleeping!

I even heard you snoring.

It was him snoring.

You don't care about me at all.

An'an! An'an!

What… what are you doing?

Brother!

Brother! Brother!

You'll strangle her.

I want Brother Xie Jun.

Why are you crying again?

I... I can tell you where he is.

Where is he?

Actually, he asked me not to tell anyone.

Where is he?

Here's the thing.

You take a long break

and don't contact her first.

See if she will come to find you.

What if she doesn't come?

Then you should give up.

Brother Xie Jun!

Brother Xie Jun!

Brother Xie Jun.

Where have you been these past few days?

I've been looking everywhere for you,

Brother Xie Jun.

Why are you going over there?

Brother Xie Jun,

why are you ignoring me?

Why should I respond to you?

I know

you're still angry.

What happened was my fault.

I didn't explain it clearly,

which made you misunderstand.

But I really didn't toy with your heart.

Is there any point going on with this?

Looking at Xie Jun's expression,

they're not getting back together.

What do you know?

This is called "hard-to-get".

I know

you don't like me.

All this time,

it's been my one-sided love.

I didn't come here today

to ask you to be with me.

I just wanted to clear things up.

I've said everything I have to say

and done all I can.

I have no regrets.

Thank you

for tolerating me

for so long.

I'm leaving now.

This isn't how it's supposed to go!

Wait a moment.

What's wrong?

Is…

is this all you wanted to say?

Yes.

Don't you have anything else to say?

I've said it all.

I guess you don't want to see me again,

so I won't bother you anymore.

You…

you can't just guess.

What do you mean?

You…

you…

Brother Xie Jun.

Brother Xie Jun, are you okay?
