[Meet Yourself]

[Episode 07]

- Cut the string.
- Okay.

This can be a little longer.

Master, Master Xie is here.

Heshun.

- Sis.
- Come on.

Li Qing, make a pot of tea.

- No. Don't bother.
- Come on.

I just dropped by. I'm leaving now.

Just sit down for a while.

Here.

Look. I'm causing you extra work.

Not at all. Here, sit.

Okay.

Our embroidery workshop was completed
for so long.

You didn't come to see it.

It's not on my way.

Master Xie, you're just in time.

We just returned from Xinjiang last night.

Why did you go to Xinjiang?

For an intangible cultural heritage exhibition.

What's it?

It's just an exhibition.

An Expo for various intangible cultural
heritage handicrafts around the country.

A big event.

A lot of people went to see it.

We sold many things there.

- You can sell things on it?
- Of course. There are stalls.

Here, have some tea.

Okay.

Gezi is responsible for various
exhibitions of embroideries and tie-dyes

and the promotion of brick and mortar stores.

Xiaolan looks after the day-to-day
running of the craft online store.

We craftsmen just make sure we do ours.

Different people are
specialized for particular tasks.

Sis, how big do you want it to be?

The bigger the better, of course.

It's not the same as before.

The world is moving on so fast.

If no one knows our stuff, we'll be obsoleted.

Why should the state protect
the intangible cultural heritage?

It fears these folk skills would go away.

So, we need to promote them.

Let the younger generation
understand these cultures and like them.

In this case, some people
are willing to learn them

and some pay for them.

Only then can we pass them on.

In the past, when masters
passed on their crafts to apprentices,

they had discharged their duty.

Now, they have to find a way to feed the kids.

Morning, Little Hei.

Breakfast is ready. Want to eat?

Go.

Come on.

Mr. Ma, want to eat with us?

I want some soup.

It's delicious with a little soup.

This is shredded potatoes with vinegar.

Why did you put dark soy sauce in it?

It's the way my mom makes it.

Moms are always right.

Good.

Delicious?

This is it.

This taste is right.

I'll have some more.

Nice. Delicious.

Zhiyao.

Let me introduce you, President Li.

This is Xie Zhiyao.

My good friend.

President Li, nice to meet you.

Hello, President Xie.

- How did you get here?
- I drove here.

You can't drink, then?

Yes. I got my driver with me.

You came prepared.

Good.

Come on, sit.

Here, please, President Xie.

Take a seat.

Here, Li.

President Xie.

It's not that your stuff is bad.

I know it's good.

But it's expensive.

Put machine carvings of
a couple hundred yuan on the walls.

Normal people don't even tell the difference.

I'm in the high-end art hotel business.

I'd rather save the money
and update our bedding.

President Li, you're honest.

You're frank with me,
then I'll be honest with you, too.

I'm here to make this deal with you, of course.

But I was really thinking about your hotel.

You're making a Chinese brand.

You want to use traditional culture
as a feature of your art hotel.

Then you should use hand-carved ones.

How do you say that?

He knew I was an investor.

I listened to stories every day.

A good entrepreneur must be a storyteller first.

The more compelling your story is,

the more people are willing to pay for it.

Look at your hotel.

China-Chic, traditional culture,

high quality, it's got all these.

The one thing it lacks is a good story.

Go ahead.

Let me tell you a story first.

A young man grew up
in a fishing village near the sea.

He was a left-behind child since he was a kid.

Later, he got into a university in Beijing.

And he had a good job.

But he resolutely returned home
and started a business.

He opened an online store
to sell their agricultural products.

He hired the villagers.

He helped an inheritor
of embroidery set up a workshop.

He invested in tie-dye workshops
and protected traditional art.

He also developed tourism.

He made more young people choose
to stay instead of going out to work.

So, kids are no longer left-behind children.

Senior people are no longer empty nesters.

Why does it sound so familiar?

I think I've seen it on TV.

It's a classic story often told by a man

who returned home to start a business.

If there are any similarities,
they're similarities.

This classic story is of no use to me.

You need it.

There's a plot you can learn from.

Tell me.

A boss likes traditional culture very much.

He thinks Chinese traditional art
should be kept thriving,

should be seen by more people.

So, he set up an art hotel that's filled with

all traditional intangible
cultural heritage artworks.

Even a decorative woodcarving
painting in the corridor,

was carved by skilled masters very seriously.

Here's the detail of the story.

Right. This is Li's story.

Yeah.

He loves Chinese traditional culture.

Right.

That's me.

Here, President Li.

Don't call me that. We're brothers.

Brothers.

- Come on.
- Here.

Easy.

Liu.

Thank you!

For what? Get some sleep.

Sir, watch out for him. Don't let him puke.

Okay.

Go.

Okay.

Bye.

See you.

Granny.

You're back.

I bought your favorite cured ribs.

You still remember I like cured ribs.

Did you drink?

A few.

How did it go?

Not bad.

I've got it.

Really?

Here. This is your reward.

Sweet.

Sweet.

Yao and I have been friends since we were kids.

He used to eat at my home.

We went to middle school
together and lived at school.

We still lived at school in high school.

It was hard.

I was not good at school.

I didn't get into a college.

Then, my family introduced a girl to me.

When we met,

it was the girl I liked in middle school.

But she asked me for
Yao's number when she talked.

Do you think it's outrageous?

Did you give it to her?

Yeah, I did.

Or, it'd make me petty.

Yao was busy studying and getting scholarships.

He didn't have time to mess with girls.

When he graduated from college, I
asked him if he'd come back home.

He told me he got into graduate school.

I asked him how big a boss
he'd be since he was overeducated.

He's a boss.

He's working in his own industry now.

Yeah, he's a big boss.

He invested a lot
all these years he's been here.

But has he made any money?

Not much indeed.

He said it was the funding stage if I asked.

I don't understand.

If you ask me, that's worse than him working

as an angel investor in Beijing for years.

He got a high salary and a bonus.

What are you talking about?

You scared me.

- What are you talking about?
- Just talking.

About my barbecue and your college.

What can I get you?

I've already eaten.

Make some vegetables for me, okay?

Yeah.

I'll take them to you when they're done.

Okay.

Don't bother. His phone is off.
[Little Yuan]

You're more like his sister.

I really want to explain to him.

I didn't say that.

Who do you think said it?

I don't know.

The walls in the village look pretty thick.

But they leak on all sides.

No point in keeping it a secret.

I saw you staying in the cafe
for the last few days.

You didn't hang out?

Where?

Tie-dye workshop.

You can experience the dyeing.

I did it in the afternoon.

The woodcarving workshop next to the cafe.

I bought something.

The bamboo raft?

I took it.

Horseback riding. It's funny.

- I won't go.
- Why?

I don't like it.

Oh, yeah.

There's a large campground
on the east of the village.

Picking, fishing, barbecuing and etc.

My friend in Beijing runs it.

He's losing his money?

It's just not profitable yet.

Take Damai and Nana there when you have time.

Let me tell you.

Don't try to promote
those artificial attractions.

I'm here to find someplace
where nobody knows me.

I want to be a useless loser seriously.

When did you set such a great ideal?

Before I worked,

all I was doing was studying, studying.

After I worked, it's been work, work.

I've been trying and trying.

I didn't like losing and falling behind.

You know, I saved enough money

to buy a few square meters when I graduated.

Ten years have passed.

I've saved some money.

But I can only buy a few square meters

when I checked the real estate website.

No house, no car, no boyfriend,

but illness.

So miserable?

Isn't there a saying on the Internet?

What's it?

You're not good at your job.

Your performance is bad.

But you have a herniated disc.

It's like me.

Look, my arch has gone.

Look, I was on my feet all day.

My arch has fallen.

Laugh.

No. If you have some empathy,

you wouldn't laugh like that
when I'm talking about my pain.

Your arch has fallen.

It's not funny!

I'm sorry!

I... I'm not laughing at you!

I mean, you're blessed if you
can make me laugh so happily.

I just think,

you can't tighten yourself up too much.

Or, there will be problems.

Like, misanthropy,
evasion, anxiety, irritability,

all kinds of diseases will come to you.

Is it my choice to tighten up or not?

You're like the clock.

Once you're winded up,
no one wants to replace you

until you're useless.

I think you're pretty good.

Put on makeup and clean up.

You're also a beauty.

You have no problem getting a good man.

I like a man for his money.

He likes me for my looks.

After a few more years, I'm still a beauty.

Is he still rich?

Do you see everything perfectly clearly?

Only what you have is your own.

Here's to you.

No, that's not alcohol.

I drank at noon.

I'll be an alcoholic if I drink again.

It was great as a kid.

I always looked forward to the holidays.

Then I'd go to my grandma's.

Raising chicks,

climbing up trees,
picking wild mulberries,

catching shrimp in the stream.

You were so naughty when you were little?

Don't you think it was fun as a kid?

When we grew up, all we had
to do were study and exams.

When we worked, we have to do well.

We don't have time for fun.

Right.

You know what?

I always think of my grandma
when I see your grandma.

Are they alike? How?

The atmosphere.

They have the same smell.

My grandma died three years ago.

I've never smelled it again.

What does my granny smell like?

She smells like baking bread.

It's warm.

Tell me about you.

How did you think of
returning home to start a business?

To make money.

Living off the land.

Strangers are coming to invest.

I'm a local. I have every advantage.

Right.

Just a little contouring.

Actually, boys are fine with makeup.

Why are you so careless?

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

I'll get you a new one.

Okay.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it.

It's okay.

Thank you. I'm okay.

It's from the girl at the desk.

I've got it.

Does your arm hurt?

No.

It doesn't hurt. You just can't lift it.

You almost put a plate on his head.

Now you know it's good to go to school.

What's with the weather?

There's no wind.

Alright.

Get your wages for this
week's work this weekend.

Then go home.

You're spoiled. You shouldn't be doing this.

I won't go home.

None of my family is looking for me.

You're just spoiled by your family.

Wish Yao was my brother.

Fine. I'll give him to you.

If only that were possible.

What about you?

Do you keep working like that?

It's good.

Nobody manages you.

How to say?

My parents got divorced when I was a kid.

They had their own families.

I lived with my grandpa.

Then he passed away.

I lived with my granny.

She died this year.

My mom called me to live with her.

She's in Ruili.

I went there and saw a family of four

cram up in a small house of 60 square meters.

Two sisters slept in a bunk bed.

There's no room for me.

So, I called my father.

It's no longer in service.

You don't know how great it is
to have your parents, your brother

and your grandma to keep you in line.

In fact, Youfeng Yard doesn't
take too much out of me.

Now, I'm going between
the e-commerce warehouse and the cafe.

I'm a little busy, but I can handle it.

Don't try to be strong.

There's so much to do in the warehouse.

If you can't make it,
we can hire someone in the cafe.

No need.

Let's save some costs.

Anyway, Xiaoyue is always there.

If something comes up when
I'm out, just let Xiaoyue call me.

I think it's all right.

Everyone does their day job the normal way.

But the relationships are a bit complicated.

We always need the manager to mediate.

The same old problem.

Yeah, it's an old problem.

They're all elders.

They know me well.

They have no sense of boundary.

No one takes me as a manager.

What's more, aunties and
grannies who have nothing to do

often hang out here
and chat during working hours.

Aunt E made two wrong packages in three days.

If I directly manage them,
they can do well for a while.

But they go back to the way
they were in a few days.

Especially those grannies,
they're like kids in kindergarten.

If I said too much, they'd get angry with me.

The cafe got the same problem.

There's such a problem
when you work with acquaintances.

I'd just say, urge them.

And ask them to be hard on themselves

and be easy to manage in the work.

Yao, I just think we two
are too familiar with them.

There's a lot to take in.

And there are many emotional factors.

Xiaochun,

what do you think if we hire
an outsider to manage them?

Let's start with the cafe.

Regulate it from point to whole.

And increase awareness about the service.

Good.

That would be great for us.

Do you have someone particular in mind?

Of course.

She's come to us. She's available.

Who?

Xu Hongdou. Manager Xu.

She just resigned from the front line
of service of a five-star hotel.

She can handle it well.

Forget it.

She quit and came here to get some rest.

How can she wanna work with us?

There are ways.

From what I could tell,
Xu Hongdou is industrious and kind.

And most importantly, she likes my granny.

Taken together, these
weaknesses... No, wait.

Weaknesses?

Xie Zhiyao, what do you mean?

Are you going to tell her about
you returning home to start a business?

Moral kidnapping.

Why do you make my business sound so bad?

You're making it sound good.

Yao.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Master Xie.

Uncle, have some tea.

Okay.

I guess this work would take you several months.

Don't think too much.

I didn't do that much.

I just had a meal with President Li.

Mainly because he likes it.

It was a budget issue before.

Yao.

Let's sit and talk. Come on.

Sit down, please.

Yao.

Well, I've told you before,

there's nothing good on the Internet.

Look, they spend all of their time online.

What have they got?

Someone has a good life.

They bought luxury cars and houses.

That one became famous easily.

He made millions, tens of millions again!

What's it?

This is poison!

It's too poisonous!

Young people saw that all day long,

can they concentrate on their work?

They're all impatient.

They do no decent work.

In their eyes,

a couple hundred,
a couple thousand is no longer money.

They think about how to earn millions,
tens of millions all the time.

Yeah.

When you just came back,

you told me you'd help me
with package and promotion.

You'd make money with the woodcarvers.

You said the government
wanted to revitalize the countrysides

and develop tourism.

You'd build the infrastructure
when you returned home.

Right?

You wanted to build your hometown.

Let me be honest.
I'm not afraid of offending you.

I didn't believe you.

I think you've learned a lot of
bad things outside all these years.

When you came back,

you also wanted to find
an easy way to make millions, right?

You're not the only one who said that.

People doubt what they don't understand.

It's normal.

In the past,

if you were a real craftsman,

people would come to you.

Now it's different.

It was to meet the demand before.

Now it's to create demand.

My granny said the world was different.

Yeah.

Times have changed.

It's right.

Mom.

Xiaochun, Xiaxia took his bank card.

I told you before, you
should let him take it himself.

I was afraid he'd play games and waste money.

Look, how did he know where I put my key?

Hulu knows. How could he not know?

Alright. Just let him take it.

Anyway, he needs money in Shanghai.

He should have told me.

It's not like I wouldn't give it to him.

He didn't dare tell you.

You're usually strict with him.

Alright. It's okay.

This old lady.

[Xiaxia]

Hello?

Let me tell you.

Mom knew you took the bank card.

Well, I'll transfer 3,000 yuan to your WeChat.

Try not to spend the money on the card.

Do you hear me?

Yeah.

No need to do that. I brought money.

Alright. Have fun over there.

Got to go, I need to work.

Aunt Baoping keeps Xiaxia's card?

My mom asked him to transfer
2,000 yuan to the card every month.

It's for him to get a wife.

Not much, actually, it's 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

I think Xiaxia is usually frugal.

When his white T-shirt got yellow,

he dyed it in a tie-dye workshop
and kept wearing it.

Did he steal the card to buy stocks?

The stock market has been booming lately.

The overall market is going up,
which became a hashtag several times.

He won't.

Girls like you who are from
a good family are different from us.

Xiaxia and I were poor since we were kids.

We know it's hard to make money.

We hold on to the money we have.

We wouldn't touch what we don't know.

That's good.

He asked me about it the other day.

I told him never to touch stocks.

It's way too risky.

Young man, how can I help you?

- I want to report a crime.
- What's it?

I've been cheated out of money.

You sent money to an online friend by an ATM?

Not an ATM. It's a fund website.

Someone referred it to me.

No problem with registering and adding money.

Then I couldn't log in.

And then that man left
an address for me in Shanghai.

I sent something to this address.

When I reported the case there,
they told me to go where it happened.

So, I rushed back.

Young man, you've got a clear mind.

How did you fall for this pig-butchering scam?

Pig-butchering?

It's okay.

Come over here and take a statement.

Okay.

They all asked me how Yuan's mom treated you.

Why did they ask?

They said you didn't care about Yuan.

It must be because your
stepmother used to treat you badly.

She hit you.

When did aunt ever hit me?

Only you hit me.

When did I hit you?

Fine, you didn't do that.

You were wielding the stick of love.

What did you say to them?

I told them Yao knew what he was doing.

Yuan didn't get lost.

However, they didn't believe me.

Whatever.

Yao.

Tell me.

I won't tell anyone. Okay?

Excuse me.

Hello? Xiaxia.

What's up?

Okay.

I'll come from home. Wait for me.

Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou.

What are you doing?

There are two birdhouses over here.

Want me to get them for you?

You don't go for a run today?

I want to do nothing.

What about going to town?

I won't go to artificial attractions.

Fine.

Granny, I'm going to the old town later.

I'll ask Xu Hongdou to take you to sell things.

No need, I can do it myself.

No. What are you thinking?

By the way, do me a favor later.

What do you need me for?

Tell her about me returning
home to start a business.

You want to keep her?

No. I want her to do me a favor.

Well, should I make it sound miserable or good?

Make it sound difficult.

Fine.

You eat, I'll go now.

Do the dishes yourself.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Where's the smell of baking bread?

Why can't I smell it?

You're like a dog.

Hongdou, do you have a boyfriend?

No.

Why don't you have one yet?

I haven't met the one I like.

Just the one you like?

Yeah, just the one I like.

What if his family is poor?

It's okay.

I can make money.

♫ Stars in the sky ♫

♫ I pick some mushrooms ♫

♫ Mushrooms can fill the basket ♫

♫ I take out a pen ♫

♫ The pen leaks ink ♫

♫ What can I do ♫

♫ I have piles of mung beans ♫

♫ Mung beans are delicious ♫

♫ Gingers are tender ♫

♫ Tender gingers taste pungent ♫

♫ They pile up like a tower ♫

Okay, let's go.

Go.

♫ My baby, let's go to sleep ♫

♫ My baby, let's go to sleep ♫

It's 1.25 jin. Let me figure it out.

It's 68.75 yuan.

I'll charge you 68 yuan.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mom, stop it.

I can't carry so much stuff to take a plane.

Come on.

They provide you with room and board.

It's polite of you to get something for them.

You don't like them.

Look, if mom sells these milk fans,
it'd cost over 50 yuan per jin.

Figure out how much they are.

Go wash the dishes.

He's leaving soon.

You still ask him to do the dishes.

Really!

He's never been out.
You're not worried about him?

Come on. He's too big.

Don't turn him into a mama's boy. Okay?

What mama's boy?

He'll be a mama's boy
if you keep spoiling him like this.

How did I spoil him?

He got beaten up a lot when he was little.

I'm not your Aunt Feng.

There's no room left, mom.

Do you want milk fans?

Yao.

Good for you.

You're selling things here.

Where did you get the scale?

I paid 20 yuan for it.

Go. Let's eat something.
