[The Best Thing]

Episode 16: Cinnabar Taste: Sweet Nature: Slightly cold, toxic Meridian Entry: Heart Functions: Clears the heart, calms fright, also detoxifies

Did you gain weight during the New Year?

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Mr. Lin, you're a bit early.

Happy New Year.

I gained 7.3 jin.

You're so precise.

Thank you.

Have some candy, have some candy.

Happy New Year.

Have some candy, come have some candy.

You're in your thirties.

Drinking so much bubble tea, you'll get fat.

It's none of your business if I get fat or not.

What's going on between you two?

What are you arguing about?

It's nothing. I don't want to talk to him.

I don't want to talk to you either.

Come on, drink some bubble tea.

Stop drinking.

Why can't I drink? I'll drink if I want to.

Just let him drink.

It's my treat this time.

Let him drink.

Fine, you drink. I'm leaving.

Wait a moment.

This is a gift specially from my parents for you.

Just take it.

Don't be angry anymore.

Is this for me?

Yes, it's yours.

You, go after her. Stop drinking.

Oh, stop drinking.

Xu Xiangya.

Wait a moment.

Let me talk to you.

Xifan.

Do you know

what's going on with Xiangya and Mr. Lin today?

They're at odds with each other.

Leave them alone.

They're always like this.

That's true.

What's wrong?

The bus is here.

What's the matter?

Good news.

Good news? What's going on?

Tell me about it.

The weather is so nice today, look.

Alright then.

You'll still graduate with your master's degree under my supervision.

After advancing to your doctoral studies, you can transfer to the gynecology department.

This afternoon,

I'll contact Director Zhao from the gynecology department.

I'll ask him to be your doctoral supervisor.

Thank you, Professor.

That's quite good.

It's a good thing to find your own ideas and goals before

starting your doctoral studies.

If there's nothing else,

I’ll leave now.

I have a meeting at the Third Hospital this afternoon.

Okay.

Then I'll see you out.

No need.

You should prepare for your rounds.

I'll be going then.

Goodbye, Professor.

Goodbye.

Senior He.

Have you made up your mind?

You're transferring to the gynecology department?

I've been thinking about it for a while.

I think what you said makes sense.

I don't want to

have my achievements and efforts discredited one day.

Although this might not necessarily happen,

I need to consider my own interests.

Moreover,

I feel that oncology doesn't really suit me.

The atmosphere is too depressing.

So,

I'll take this opportunity to transfer to gynecology.

During my doctoral studies,

I want to research women's health issues.

This direction suits you well.

I think so too.

Alright, hurry back to school.

Get some rest while you can.

The internship in gynecology will be even more demanding.

Good luck, Senior He.

Thank you for mentoring me during my internship these past two years.

It's part of my job.

What's the deal with this picture?

You two, explain this to me right now.

Confess immediately.

Mom, what's wrong?

I'll land after 10 p.m.

It'll be midnight by the time I get home.

Why such a rush?

Let's talk about it after the New Year.

Don't we have to do a thorough cleaning tomorrow

and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner and such?

Alright, alright, I'm at the airport now.

I've got to go now.

Bye-bye.

Shs's calling you back for a blind date, huh?

Why pretend to be so reluctant?

Wasn't it already arranged for you to go back for a blind date?

I hope your blind date is successful.

What?

We've known each other for almost ten years, right?

You should know what kind of person I am by now.

I like you.

Do you want to be together with me?

We can't be just friends anymore anyway.

Even if we break up in the future,

the worst outcome would just be

not being able to be friends, right?

I'll quit and go back to my hometown then.

I won't be in your way at all.

So, what do you say?

Is this result okay?

Oh, so it started before the New Year?

And no one told me?

I thought you two were really angry with each other.

We didn't want other colleagues to know.

After all, we work in the same place.

We didn't say anything during the New Year

because it was a bit awkward.

We were looking for a chance to tell you.

We were planning to tell you

after the morning meeting.

But the way you were teased by us

was really funny.

Fine.

So you two teamed up to play me, huh?

By the way,

your acting is really bad.

It could only fool her.

Alright, alright, my acting is bad.

Your acting is good.

The day she gave the gift,

you didn't even finish your lines

before you walked away,

leaving me here alone.

Enough.

So, are you two

planning to keep this a secret forever?

No, we won't.

I'm planning to quit with you when the time comes.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

Working in hotel food service,

besides our main duties,

there are too many things to worry about.

When researching new dishes,

I feel particularly limited.

So,

I might as well quit with you

and find a new environment.

It also avoids office romance, right?

Then I'll stay here.

After you graduate and come back,

if you want to come back to work,

we can still be colleagues.

Okay.

Are you not angry anymore?

Not anymore.

That's good.

What's going on with you two?

Let go of each other's hand. What are you doing?

But seriously though,

I've come to realize

that when two people have feelings for each other but insist on being just friends,

it's bound to come to an end.

So why not just start dating?

The worst outcome is breaking up,

and not even being able to be friends.

At least there won't be any regrets.

So, you and Dr. He...

Stop.

Why are you suddenly talking about me?

[Oncology]

Where's today's homework?

You seem to look forward to my dad's daily assignments, huh?

My dad is in charge of cooking at home,

but he didn't cook today,

so there's no homework.

Okay.

I'm still looking forward to seeing you.

Dr. He, a patient has arrived.

Come in.

- Let’s go for dinner. - Let’s go.

Xifan, let's go.

Maybe I should go back first.

Where are you going back to?

Your parents

went hiking today, didn't they?

You won't have anything to eat if you go home.

That's right.

Well,

let's go.

Everything else is fine.

Just remember,

don't drink alcohol after taking the medication.

Okay.

Thank you, Dr. He.

You're welcome.

It's my duty.

Please be careful as the vehicle enters the station.

Okay, okay, alright.

Okay, please have a seat.

It'll be ready in a moment.

Oh my!

He Suye.

Why are you so late?

Sit down.

I just saw your WeChat message.

You're lying.

I bought so much alcohol for you.

I wanted to drink it with you.

And you only show up now.

You've had too much to drink.

You fickle woman.

Me?

Why?

You are fickle.

Fine.

Then tell me how I'm fickle.

You were the one who hooked me first.

You caught me and then let me go.

I...

I clearly sent you red beans.

Did you eat them?

Did you come for your follow-up visit?

What kind of person does that?

What kind of fish,

spits red beans back at the person who caught it?

Look at me.

Just like this.

Today, I...

went to dinner with Senior Lin and the others.

So I haven't had a chance to eat the red beans yet,

and I haven't had time for the follow-up visit either.

Besides,

how did I hook you?

You did.

No, I didn't.

You hooked me right there.

He Suye, thank you for liking me.

You’re drunk. I’ll take you back.

I'm not leaving.

- Let’s go. - No.

He Suye.

I remember someone told me,

drinking and then being in the wind in this weather can cause a cold.

What, were you lying to me before?

Take me home, please.

Since you hooked me first,

you'll have to be responsible for me.

You can't just abandon me.

Alright.

I won't abandon you.

I'll take you home.

Come on, lift your arms.

You're so heavy.

How can you be such a lightweight and still love to drink?

It's the opposite way.

This way goes to my house.

And garbage all over the place.

I'll come back to clean it up later.

He Suye.

Put me down, put me down.

Password, password.

Enter the password.

You, don't look.

Can you wash up by yourself?

Then I...

No problem.

I'm leaving, okay?

- Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Xifan.

Good night.

Good night.

Fickle woman.

You were the one who hooked me first.

How come you caught me

and then let me go?

I don't think this counts as hooking him.

Dinner's ready.

Coming.

Where are the soup bowls?

I forgot them.

I'll get them.

Mr. Shen has created a new dish again.

The last dish in the medicated diet menu.

Red bean and crucian carp soup.

Alright.

Serve the soup.

Oh, okay.

What kind of person does that?

What kind of fish,

spits red beans back at the person who caught it?

Look at me.

Just like this.

You need to flip this fish over.

Only if you flip it over

can you see the red beans in the soup, you know?

Like this.

You've scattered it.

Hey, hurry and serve the soup.

The first bowl

goes to Ms. Shen first.

Thank you, Mr. Shen.

Ms. Liu.

Your soup looks kind of scary.

Can it taste good?

This soup

nourishes the spleen and boosts energy.

It's especially good for women.

It tastes really good.

It's alright.

It even cures constipation.

Then you'd better drink more.

The guest list of March is out.

Many of them are returning customers.

Please prepare in advance, everyone.

The team from Zhongyu Technology will also be checking in this week.

Zhongyu Technology attended the IT summit

here last year.

In the list is a director

called Yan Heng.

He's the younger son of CEO Yan from Zhongyu Technology.

He started a small robotics company abroad.

He's won quite a few awards.

He's a rising star in the industry.

We must provide excellent service to Young Mr. Yan

as well as his team this time.

We need to secure this client.

Hello, Young Mr. Yan.

Hello, sir.

Here are your ID and room key.

Thank you.

Please sign here, thank you.

Young Mr. Yan,

your villa is ready for you.

Our Marketing Department manager...

Long time no see.

Long time no see, Young Mr. Yan.

You... you know each other?

We're old friends.

This way, please.

Okay.

They know each other?

He should have said so earlier.

Manager,

Mr. Yan particularly dislikes

being called "Young Mr. Yan."

Please be mindful of this in the future.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'll inform our colleagues right away.

Alright?

I apologize.

Could you please...

Tell us about it.

Mr. Yan, this is the housekeeping supervisor

and the housekeeper who will be in charge of all your accommodation matters

during your stay.

- Tell him if you need anything... - Where’s Xifan?

Manager Shen is in charge of housekeeping for the entire hotel.

She apologizes for any inconvenience.

If you have any needs or issues,

you can ask them to help you resolve them.

Help with the luggage.

[Yuncong All Day Dining Restaurant]

Don't mind him, go about your business.

I'll be back in the country after Spring Festival.

Let's have a meal together.

I've missed you.

Long time no see.

It's not dinner time yet.

Would you like a drink first?

Thank you.

Tropical fruit juice.

Made with all imported fruits.

To let you experience

a different Southeast Asian flavor in winter, Mr. Yan.

Sorry.

I'm allergic to mangoes.

Could you please help me change this drink?

I'm sorry.

I wasn't aware of this situation beforehand.

I'm here to see Xifan.

Do you know where she is?

She's probably at work.

Could you please help me contact her?

Can't you reach her?

I remember it now.

It seems like she's blocked you, hasn't she?

Why don't you look around, Mr. Yan?

Our hotel is quite large indeed.

But she must be somewhere around here.

You all

are helping her hide from me, aren't you?

It seems like you're the one who's been hiding, doesn't it?

You didn't even show your face when you broke up with her.

And now you suddenly appear.

What do you mean?

I want to get back together with her.

What makes you think she wants to get back together with you?

She's doing very well and is happy now.

What makes you think

she would take you back?

What do you mean?

Does she have a new boyfriend now?

It's none of your business.

Where did this Southeast Asian-style set meal come from?

You're the Food & Beverage manager.

How could you take the lead in violating

the most basic service standards?

You actually threatened customers with food safety.

I'm sorry, General Manager.

Please deduct my bonus.

Of course I will deduct it.

There will also be a public criticism tomorrow.

I'm sorry, General Manager.

Alright, alright. Get back to work now.

Go, go, go!

[Manager of Front Office]

What's going on here?

Come on, please solve this!

You go!

Am I the general manager? Go.

You go first!

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!

Mr. Yan. Well...

Why don't you go back to the villa and rest for a while?

I'll definitely...

Where are you? Come to the lobby right now, immediately!

What should we do about this?

Go back to the office and take a break.

Go, go, go!

Then I'll head back first.

Shen.

Auntie.

Busy?

I have something to do.

Xifan.

Mr. Yan,

This is for you.

You've worked hard.

Manager Shen's boyfriend?

So rich!

What time do you get off work?

Five o'clock.

Let me give you a ride.

No need.

I can take the company bus.

It's no trouble.

Mr. Yan.

Do you have anything else?

Let's talk somewhere else.

Okay.

Please.

I remember.

That Mr. Yan

is Manager Shen's boyfriend, right?

They broke up long ago.

If others spread rumors,

please help clarify it.

Why don't we go to my room?

We can sit and talk.

Shen Xifan.

Being your boyfriend is too tiring.

You don't care about me at all.

You only care about yourself.

You're too selfish.

I just love you too much.

That's why I didn't realize you've always been this selfish.

Xifan,

I've been thinking for a long time.

We should break up.

Xifan,

let's get back together.

Get back together?

I was really too busy last year.

The company's self-developed robot

needed to apply for patents,

go public, and compete for awards.

I also had to deal with Zhongyu's acquisition

and handle my father.

During that time, I was really stretched thin, I didn't...

After I finished all that and came to my senses,

I really regretted it.

I shouldn't have lost my temper at you.

I shouldn't have argued with you.

We didn't just argue.

We broke up, okay?

Our seven years of love,

how could we just break up like this?

Xifan, listen to me.

Don't touch me.

Go away.

It's okay.

We're all here.

What did he tell you?

He's not trying to get back together with you, is he?

He came to see me today.

He said

he was too busy with work before,

so he neglected me.

He said he really regrets it now.

Tell me,

what am I

to him after all?

I actually thought of so many things before,

things I wanted to say to scold him.

I thought about it day and night.

But when he stood in front of me,

I couldn't remember a single word.

Why couldn't I remember anything?

It's okay, it's okay.

[Gunan Huating Manor]

I heard your supervisor is Mr. Yan's ex-girlfriend.

Stop it.

Have you heard

between Manager Shen and the customer?

What is it?

Let me tell you,

it's about that Mr. Yan, Yan Heng.

You mean him?

If I were her,

I'd marry into a rich family

and become a wealthy wife instead of coming to work.

Yeah. That Mr. Yan

is handsome and rich.

What is she doing?

You don't understand.

The more difficult a woman is, the more men love her.

Manager Shen, due to personal reasons,

[Meeting Hall]

has become entangled with a customer,

which has affected the hotel's operations,

called our service into question,

and damaged our reputation.

We must criticize this behavior.

This month's bonus of hers will be deducted.

All department managers should use this as a negative example

to educate and warn their staff.

When working in a hotel,

one should maintain a professional attitude

and keep a distance from customers.

Wasn't this covered in our orientation training?

Manager Shen,

you need to quickly resolve

the previous issues with Mr. Yan.

Don't come for your recent shifts.

Coordinate with others.

If you work night shifts,

and something happens again, it will be hard to explain.

Okay, no problem.
