What would you like?
I don’t like
such dishes here.
Then what would you like?
Roasted eggplant.
They want roasted eggplant.
Roasted mushroom.
Roasted steamed bun.
And roasted steamed bun.
Stop, could you?
Roasted lamb’s kidney.
But don’t burn it.
Put some sugar on the roasted bread slices.
This is my favorite flavor.
That’s why I like it, too.
You...
I’m serious.
Only a real good chef
can make such street food
to the best.
I’ll show you.
Wei!
He’s calling you.
Wei.
What do you want?
Is your chef in?
Yes.
Get me some barbecue.
What would you like?
Roasted eggplant.
Roasted mushroom.
Roasted steamed bun.
Use some sweet bean sauce.
Don’t burn the lamb’s kidney.
Get us some mutton kebab and beef kebab.
Remember?
Yes.
Fine. Don’t you fear I’ll poison you?
Nothing.
Go get prepared.
It’s Hongfang restaurant, at least.
I want some food, too.
(Self-criticism)
Lin Wenwu dropped the lawsuit.
But we still need to release a statement
and clarify
the report you wrote
was fantastical.
Sir.
We’ll be confessing our mistake,
won’t we?
What else can we do?
Are you getting us
in the lawsuit with you?
I don’t mean that.
Haifeng.
I thought highly of you.
But Director Duan had a reason
to reject the report about cultural relics smuggling
many times.
Well, I was thoughtless, too.
It’s easily trapped
when doing investigation and collecting evidence.
In this case,
the problem is
whether you can complete the chain of evidence.
Sir.
You’re right.
I’ll keep working.
I’ll track down the case.
I’ll complete the chain of evidence!
Hello.
There you are.
I’ll go get some hot water.
This is for my own punishment.
Wei, I’m sorry.
Have I brought trouble
to your relationship with the Lin family?
You’re just ignorant.
All right. This is over.
As long as you’re fine.
Come on.
-Cheers. -The second toast.
Thank you for trying to help me.
A toast to all of you.
Plug, you know what?
You should say thank you to Liu Wenjing.
If she hadn’t risked her life,
you would have been doomed.
I didn’t risk my life.
I just had dinner with him.
Plug is always nice to us.
We should help him.
I’m a man.
But I need you girls
to beg others.
No, Plug...
I won’t forget how you helped me.
Cheers, Wenjing.
Don’t drink much.
Ye Hui did a good job
to help us.
His father didn’t want him
to get close to Lin Wenwu.
So, it could be hard
to have him help us.
So, he cares more for you.
I begged him,
but he didn’t go.
But Wei, you’re resourceful.
If you didn’t tell me
Lin Wenwu was Ye Hui’s uncle,
we wouldn’t have begged Ye Hui
or helped Plug out.
Right, Plug?
Yes. Yes.
Wei is a great girl.
We all know that.
-Yeah. -Come on.
Wei, cheers.
Come on.
Plug.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
Be careful.
Are you alright? Be careful.
I’m fine.
But you...
I’m going to the toilet.
Okay. Give this to them.
I’ll be waiting for you out here.
Liu Wenjing?
Wenjing.
Mei?
It’s really you?
I didn’t dare to recognize you.
Where have you been these two years?
I’ve been in Shanghai.
I go to university.
You go to the university?
Which one?
Finance Department of Dekang University.
You’re awesome.
Let me have a good look at you.
I couldn’t compare you
to the old you two years ago
who wandered homeless
through the streets.
Mei.
Two years ago, if you hadn’t kept me,
I wouldn’t know where I could stay for that night.
You’re welcome.
Let’s get in touch more often.
Don’t lose contact for another two years.
Sure.
Oh, get the bill of her table on me.
No, Mei.
Don’t stand on ceremony.
Let me look at you.
You’ve changed wonderfully.
Wei.
Don’t be jealous of her.
Why am I jealous?
Who am I jealous of?
Well, I’ll get to the point.
Liu Wenjing went to see Ye Hui,
for something important.
Also, Ye Hui bought wine from her.
You and Ye Hui are childhood sweethearts
of equal status, right?
No one will break you.
We’re friends.
If you’re jealous of Liu Wenjing,
we’ll be embarrassed, huh?
Why can you relate everything
to love relationship?
Well,
I really admire Liu Wenjing.
She’s smart and hard-working.
She gets friends and resources easily.
Ye Hui and I are close friends.
But I failed to beg him for help.
She succeeded, though.
I was just thinking.
If she works for public relations,
will I lose my job?
Come on.
Everyone around her helps her.
For example, Professor.
He’s a stubborn man.
But he still helps Liu Wenjing.
Why?
We have sympathy for her.
Don’t know the miserable guy
must have his defect that causes the misery?
I thought the bag could have
shown you that.
In fact,
the bag...
Ladies,
what else would you like to eat?
Our boss said
your meal was on the house.
Enjoy whatever you want.
Come on. Here’s the menu.
No, thanks.
Fine.
See?
Capable as Liu Wenjing is,
not only Professor helps her,
but also Ye Hui.
Even in the pub,
she can get us free food and drink.
Well,
care more about yourself.
She’ll soon get your professor!
I’m offered with student subsidies.
Around three thousand yuan.
I’ll give it all to you. All right?
It’s not enough at all.
I’m sorry.
Is your phone broken?
It’s okay.
Are you alright?
I’m fine.
Miss.
Excuse me.
Which department are you in?
Finance.
Finance?
I’m in Electrical Engineering.
I’m Song Yuan.
May I know your name?
Sorry, but I’m too busy to talk to you.
I...
You’re back?
You sold the wine again?
You have student subsidies, don’t you?
Why are you still working desperately?
The student subsidies aren’t enough at all.
My brother called me today,
telling me our house in the hometown
was washed away again.
When my father repaired the house,
he fell accidentally
and hurt his leg.
Your house was washed away again?
With all due respect,
isn’t it the Boy Who Cried Wolf?
They ask for money all the time!
Are you their milch cow?
To be honest, the call from my family
makes me nervous every time.
Hua Hua, I want to take out the money
Professor kept for me.
Are you crazy, Liu Wenjing?
Stock prices are soaring.
People are trying to get in!
But you’re getting out?
Besides,
Professor operates them for us.
That’s money with little effort.
Listen. Don’t take it out. Keep it.
Sorry.
I shouldn’t have suspected your family.
But the reality is cruel.
All right. Don’t be upset.
I know many things have happened.
We’re all exhausted.
How about this?
This weekend,
I’ll get us to have some game
so that we’ll have fun.
Who gives the topic first?
Liu Wenjing, how about you?
Lost Beauty.
Lost Beauty?
I know. That’s it.
Piano?
I’m sure she didn’t learn to play the piano.
What’s this?
Don’t fancy yourself clever.
What if she means
Angela Zhang’s song?
You make sense.
I think
she means
the lost forest.
She sees no natural scenery when she comes to the city.
Let’s vote.
One, two, three.
Hua Hua is right.
-I know you best, huh? -What is it?
When I was in my hometown,
I had a big yellow dog.
Yellow, go back home.
Go back.
Go.
Go!
Go back home, Yellow!
I’ve never seen it again.
Whose card is this?
It looks confusing.
Thank you. This is mine.
What does it concern Lost Beauty?
When I was little, I lived in the woodlands.
My father went back for hunting every year.
I went with him.
Later, we moved to another place
and we didn’t go back again.
To me,
it’s the Lost Beauty.
You must be missing the past, huh?
Did you go back again?
You live in the farm?
Where is your hometown?
Nothing special.
When I was little, I went hunting with them.
But most of the time,
I played with my hound at home.
Cool. A hound?
What does it look like?
Italian Grey hound and Chinese Hound.
All right. Let’s move on.
Fine, then.
You shall assign a topic.
Me?
Look.
Extravagant Hope.
Your extravagant hope?
Done.
What makes you laugh?
All right. Let’s vote.
All right.
Three, two, one.
Wait. What do you mean?
Plug, in our hearts,
you’re so shallow.
We’re right, huh?
You’re shallow!
Castle?
All right.
Hope they’ll hold hands
and be the first couple.
That’s Plug, isn’t he?
Sir, give us the remote control!
-Plug! -Sir!
Don’t. Don’t.
Hua Hua.
Let me have a look.
Hurry up.
Plug!
Plug, you look good on TV.
Dating show?
I’m sorry.
(If You Are the One) I’ve thought about it.
(If You Are the One) But no.
Qiao Haifeng.
Jiaojiao is the girl you’ve paid attention to.
What’s wrong with you?
I did pay attention to her.
But I’d like to tell you the truth.
I paid attention to her
because she looked like the girl I love.
(If You Are the One) You mean
Jiaojiao is a substitute of your love?
No. No. I don’t mean that.
Jiaojiao is a good girl.
But I’ve loved a girl
since I was in the university.
I wasn’t brave enough to tell her.
I wanted to give up,
to abandon my unrequited love
and be friends with her.
But now,
♪I only see you♪
I’m sure
I only care for her
and I only love her.
I could have held hands with Jiaojiao
for the show only.
But this is unfair to her.
So,
I’m sorry.
Our show...
I did that according to the script.
Just like the script
you always write.
Can you accept this result?
It’s okay.
My mother asked me to go home.
I gotta go.
Hua Hua! Hua Hua!
Come on. It’s just a simple sentence.
Why did I say it?
I hope
this girl is also watching.
I’m doomed.
Did you see?
Qiao Haifeng loves you.
I hope you can accept him.
Let’s give our best wishes
to Jiaojiao and Qiao Haifeng.
I think this is a good thing.
You finally confessed your feelings.
Hua Hua can no longer play dumb.
She must give you a clear answer.
I know her very well.
She runs away when she wants to avoid.
When she’s gone, I know her answer.
It’s just one sentence.
♪In a million possibilities♪
♪I don’t wanna any separate again♪
There’s a good pep talk.
In this world,
we can’t hide three things.
Cough, poverty, and true love.
It’s better to have a result
than have nothing in response.
♪We take one more look at each other♪
Are you alright?
Why do you look as if nothing happened?
Then why did you run away
from the café?
First, I didn’t run away.
Second, I’m alright, without doubt.
Because it has nothing to do with me.
Nothing to do with you?
In front of all the audience,
Plug confessed his love to you.
What confess?
What love?
It has nothing to do with me!
Did you hear my name?
Did you hear him confess to me?
He said
he was in the show
because his boss forced him.
And he said everything
for the show effect.
What’s wrong with that?
Why must I care?
It’s okay. It’s okay.
He confessed to you.
You just don’t want to face it.
I don’t want to bother.
But he’s Plug.
When he’s sad,
don’t you feel sad, too?
Just because he’s Plug.
Just because I’ll be sad
when he’s sad.
What could I do?
Nothing, but to play dumb!
Or would you like me
to reject him
in front of everyone?
I don’t want to hurt him.
I don’t want to lose him, either!
Since you think so,
you should tell him.
I act and talk
in the way
to show him
we’re friends.
We’re just friends.
But if one day,
he insists on confessing to me,
I’ll reject him.
I see.
Hua Hua.
I know what I said last time
caused you great distress.
But that’s what
I always wanted to tell you.
So, I don’t regret.
I have only one question for you.
You don’t like me?
Not at all?
I wondered why I didn’t see you lately.
You’re still bothering about that?
You know what?
When I was in school,
many boys wrote love letters to me.
They confessed to me
with much better words
than yours.
Those love letters are source material
for my novels.
Plug.
We’re good friends.
There’re many kinds of friends.
Some may
become lovers.
But some
can only be buddies.
I know clearly
I treat you
as my buddy.
If we must be a couple,
it’ll be embarrassing. Understand?
I don’t believe you don’t like me at all.
Once you like me even a little bit,
you won’t be embarrassed.
Love is between two persons.
They should both agree on that.
One single person can’t decide it.
I’m a practical girl,
focusing on results.
If there’s no result for something,
I won’t waste my time to try it.
You don’t even want to try.
People make the future.
Why don’t you try?
I know
you’re always stubborn.
But I’m not.
I don’t want to waste time.
Nor do I want to lose a good friend like you.
I don’t have lovers’ feelings for you.
Do you understand?
If one day,
you find a girl
you truly love,
I can help you to chase her.
Also,
if I find the man I like,
I want you to give me your best wishes.
Then we can have another way to get along.
The way you like.
Whatever you want!
You’ll not be yourself, then!
I don’t want to be myself!
I just want to be with you!
Plug,
no matter who you’re with,
you should be yourself.
Whoever loves you
loves the true you,
instead of who you pretend to be.
How long can you pretend?
For your whole life?
People change.
So do their personalities!
Everything changes!
Why don’t you trust me?
And we’re close friends.
We can skip many things,
such as guessing or running-in.
But that’s the most interesting thing
in love.
We’re so close to each other
that we don’t have love.
Understand?
You will meet a girl
you love a lot.
And you’ll want to give her everything.
I will?
Haifeng.
I come to tell you
the Director asked us
to go for the interview together.
Am I disturbing you?
No. No.
I’ve something else to do.
I’ll leave you alone.
I’m leaving, Plug.
Oh, Plug.
Come here.
Love is
right beside you.
Do have eyes to find it.
Come on!
Wenjing.
Mei?
What brings you here?
Let me have a look.
You’re going to the activity in this?
Looks so much like a student.
Mei, I’m not going.
I must prepare for the final exam.
Wenjing.
Look at them.
Do you want to be one of them?
You’re not in the same circle with them.
You should learn to struggle upwards.
Only when you stand high
can you see more.
Besides,
this is
a very important activity.
You’ll see many potential customers.
Stop hesitating. Get in the car.
Let’s go.
Wenjing.
When someone asks you
for your phone number,
don’t give it to him.
You should always protect yourself.
You’re a pure girl.
I’m worried if no one reminds you,
you’ll suffer loss.
Thank you, Mei.
I see.
You’re welcome.
You know what?
When I first came to Shanghai,
I was nearly at your age.
If someone had taught me,
maybe,
I would have taken fewer wrong steps.
So, when I first met you,
I felt close to you.
I truly wanted to help you.
It’s so nice of you, Mei.
Look at girls here.
You’re different from them.
You know how to enhance yourself.
I can see it from your university thing.
Most importantly,
you respect yourself.
When you respect yourself,
you’ll win others’ support,
instead of being fooled around
by men.
Don’t you think so?
Let me test your vision.
Look at those guys.
What can you get?
I haven’t seen you lately.
What have you been up to?
I just came back to China.
I’ve got a lot to handle.
The case I’ve been working on...
I think they have stable jobs.
There’re some technical problems.
The man with glasses has a high degree.
It’s tough job.
The man with glasses
is a doctor from MIT.
He’s a CTO.
Remember.
You sell red wine.
Your customers are nearly
about this consumption level.
So, you must know something.
I don’t want you to give glowing praise.
I just want you to look confident
when you communicate with people.
Especially on such an occasion,
remember to see more and talk less.
A quiet girl usually leaves
a good impression on people.
I’m only a salesgirl of red wine.
In business,
I think I only need to be honest.
If you want me to be like them,
I can’t do that.
You’re wrong.
Such thoughts are wrong.
Being honest is
the basis of business.
Do you know
what matters most in business?
Resources.
How can you get such resources?
Be polite, look good, dress beautifully
and talk properly.
But I’m just a student.
Studying is the most important thing.
So, you should set a goal early.
Ask yourself what you want
and work hard for it.
Liu Wenjing.
Tell me.
Why do you come to Shanghai?
I want to settle down in this city.
I want an apartment
of my own.
I want my family to live a better life.
I want to show my families
that girls can also support themselves.
Good point.
They’re right.
But you must understand.
These things are external.
You’re the real, though.
Your own excellency
can be the best reflection of supporting yourself.
Wenjing.
You’re still naive.
Later,
when I show you more of the world,
you’ll change your thoughts.
How about this?
I’ve invested an etiquette course.
It’s sold at a high price.
It’s worth it, though.
I’ll tell them
to let you audit in class.
Go broaden your vision.
Mei, thank you so much.
You’re so nice to me.
You’re my close friend.
I should be nice to you.
Cheers.
Mei.
You’re the most amazing woman I’ve known.
You’ll be better than me.
(Sorry to tell you in our investigation on your work experience,)
(we find you quitted two times and was fired twice in the last 3 years.)
(It’s conducive to the stability of company culture.)
I was rejected again.
(Communication with fans)
(What’s wrong with Hua Wuque? She’s writing worse. I’ll unfollow her.)
Since I boasted,
I must go on.
My friends think I’m a guru.
But my inspiration has dried up.
I don’t have a job.
I nearly consume without producing.
And I’m confused about my future.
What should I do?
Which God is on duty today?
Bless me, please.
Mom, you must be tired lately.
You don’t come back for nothing.
May I borrow some money from you?
How much do you want?
Not too much.
Ten thousand.
What for?
To pay the rent.
You’re a native girl.
But you insist
on renting an apartment.
Why don’t you just save the money?
I haven’t lived with you since I went to university.
After living alone,
I’ve been used to that.
Hua Hua, if you’re in trouble,
tell your father and me.
Is there anything wrong with your work?
No!
I just spent too much money.
Don’t throw it everywhere.
But I don’t have money to lend you.
I’ve invested my money
in Tree Net.
I don’t have cash.
Don’t spend however much you make.
Buy financial products.
Or you won’t make money.
What Tree Net?
What is that?
That is...
High technology?
Ms. Zhou introduced it to me.
I hear it’ll have its IPO
at the end of this year.
By then,
my investment may double.
You saw the men
she introduced me.
Freaks or liars.
Why did you still trust her?
You invested it?
I’m still lining up.
People line up for that.
I can’t sign a contract
until this weekend.
It can’t be a swindle.
Ms. Zhou gets the bonus every week.
It’s much more
than we get
from the bank.
Line up? Sounds like a trick.
Mom, you know what?
You made money by working hard.
Don’t lose it all.
Don’t worry.
There’ll be no problem.
Tree Net?
Hua Hua.
Dad?
Come on.
My private saving.
Take it.
Don’t tell your mother.
Thank you, Dad.
You should persuade Mom
not to be greedy for money.
You have no idea.
Your mother and her friends
always urge me
to do the investment.
Think about it.
There’s no free lunch.
You’re right.
Hua Hua.
Do work hard.
Our family relies on you.
Take it.
Use the money if necessary.
Work hard.
I will, Dad.
When are you going tonight?
Take me with you.
What? Figured it out?
It’s news, however poor it is.
Good.
Haifeng, what news are you up to?
I’m now a paparazzo. What news can I have?
Paparazzo? Sounds so interesting.
Who are you after?
Jin Xiyan.
Jin Xiyan!
I love him most!
Haifeng, take me with you.
I beg you.
I’ll take cover for you.
What cover?
Don’t make it worse.
Hello, Hua Hua?
All right. I’m getting down.
What happened? Why the long face?
Still bothering for the blind date show?
I forgot that already.
I come to give you some news.
Big news, I’m sure!
Could it be about Jin Xiyan?
I remember he worked
for your company, huh?
What Jin Xiyan?
I don’t gossip about stars.
It’s exclusive news.
I suspect
there’s a swindling gang,
cheating the retired old guys of money.
Oh?
You know what?
My mother has decided
to buy the stocks
with all her money.
Be careful.
Be careful. It’s a downhill path.
I’m familiar with this place.
Liu Wenjing.
Why are you so strong?
You’re a girl.
Do you usually carry them yourself?
You don’t keep fit.
But I’m used to heavy things.
Who told you I didn’t keep fit?
Uh...
-What happened? -What do we do?
I ordered some wine from you.
But why did you break the bottles?
How careless you are!
Do you know who ordered the wine?
Mr. Zhang, I’m terribly sorry.
Who ordered it?
Mr. Ye?
You did, didn’t you?
Why do you bring it yourself?
All right. Clean it up.
Okay.
Come on. Let me help you.
Come on.
Go help her.
Okay. Fine.
Leave it to me.
Leave it to me, Miss Liu.
Okay. Go.
Let’s go, Liu Wenjing.
Doctor, my father just woke up!
He moved!
His right index finger.
Okay. I’ll check on him.
Dad. Dad!
How is he, Doctor?
