[Episode 19]

Check it here.

Boss. This is the most successful event since Wanli opened.

Moreover, as of 3 pm, the single-day sales have exceeded ¥‎50 million.

What's the matter?

Too bad that we let Peter get the credit!

We should have let TL pay to participate in the Goddess Day event.

Otherwise, on the day of the event, we should shut down their electricity.

- Boss. - Just kidding.

Am I someone who retaliates publicly for a personal grudge?

- Hello, General Manager Ding. - Hello, General Manager Ding.

- Boss, did you have a conflict with General Manager Ding? - No.

- What happened to them? - I don't know.

You're smiling, so you must know something. Hurry and tell me.

Why are you keeping everything from me?

General Manager Ding, please sign.

By the way, General Manager Ding, Director Lei is holding a dinner tonight

to celebrate Goddess Festival in the restaurant. Would you like to join us?

Is the whole management team going?

Most of them are invited.

- I'll go. - Okay.

Oh, yes.

I forgot. Director Guan is the only exception.

She said she was too tired today and wanted to go home earlier to rest.

I also forgot. I have a phone meeting tonight.

I can't go.

P-Phone meeting?

How come I didn't know?

What do you want to eat tonight?

When will you get off work?

Shall we watch a movie tonight?

Are you busy?

Are you free tonight? Why don't you reply to my WeChat?

Thanks.

One iced latte with oat milk.

Okay.

¥‎18.

What size cup do you want?

What sizes do you have?

We have small, medium, and large.

- The small one then. - Okay.

The small one is ¥‎16.

There's no more seat for sitting down. Remind the customer it's to-go only.

Can you get to-go?

All right. Hurry up.

Did you want it cold or hot?

I want the iced one.

But there's no more small left for the ice drink.

The ice drink only has large and medium left. Will it work for you?

Do you know how to take orders?

- Can you hurry up? - Right. Hurry up.

- So slow! - I... I...

- Yes, find someone else. - So slow.

It's because it can't be a small cup with ice added.

If we change it to a medium cup, the price is the same. Will it do?

- That works. Hurry up. - Thanks.

What to drink?

- That... - Why not try our signature coffee?

It's good.

Okay.

A cup of signature coffee. How about a warm one?

Sure.

¥‎22. Scan the code, please.

After watching, you know how to do it now? Want to give it a try?

- No, I can't... - Please hurry up.

As long as you put your heart into it, you can do it well.

Today, you worked hard.

Thank you.

You were very good today.

Is that even a compliment?

I'm stating the fact.

You're a fast learner. You are not incapable.

Remember, you can't rely on other people.

People can only rely on themselves.

You are right.

I can't be the same anymore.

I need to change myself.

By the way, I've been thinking the cafe's operation

can use some improvement.

Tomorrow, I'll put together an efficient operation procedure for you.

He Yifei, you sound like a boss yourself.

You're welcome.

[Lin Coffee]

He Yifei is helping you.

If anyone is willing to give me advice, I will be so happy.

It's not like that. I'm just a little afraid of him.

He always points out more problems to me. I'm afraid I can't do it.

Lin Hao is always coaxing you.

But he can only make you stay where you are. Is that helpful?

You have been so bad-tempered recently. Did you quarrel with him again?

No. He only ignores me. We don't have time to fight.

Chen Xuanxuan, I see that you are different now.

How am I different?

You used to looked like you lost your soul whenever Lin Hao ignored you.

But I noticed that you don't seem to mind it as much this time.

Really?

But, today, I really worked diligently to sell coffee for almost a whole day.

I think it's quite fulfilling.

I do feel a little different.

My mom really won't give up.

Last time you dressed like that for a blind date.

Didn't Auntie rip you up?

Of course, she was mad.

I'm curious then. Over the years, haven't you liked

a good enough man to meet her demand?

I can't force myself to meet her demands.

Love isn't like finishing an assignment.

You need feelings first before you take the next step.

To be honest, ever since you broke up with Ding Ning,

you haven't had another boyfriend over the years?

Or, maybe you haven't told us?

If it's someone that I'm not serious about, do I need to tell you?

How many were these not-serious ones?

Actually, Ding Ning is quite qualified.

With his good qualifications, he is popular in the (marriage) market.

You can't only judge men by their qualifications.

The important thing is whether he is willing to risk his life for you.

How do you know Ding Ning is not willing?

Him? Forget it.

As long as he doesn't stab me in the back,

I would be thankful. [Lin Coffee]

I really think Ding Ning is quite good. [Lin Coffee]

Everyone looks good to you.

You didn't attend the Goddess Festival event.

You drag me out to shoot pool instead, but you are absentminded.

What is on your mind?

You're awesome, then play it by yourself.

Why are you upset?

I heard that the event was very successful.

Chairman Zheng and that guy from Hengtian

stomped around the office in a rage.

You must be chasing someone who ignores you.

You're mad that someone didn't show you a good attitude.

You're annoying.

We've been together for so many years.

Even if you move a single eyebrow, I know what you're thinking.

Tell me. Is Guan Wen gnoring you?

Not denying means you admit it.

Does she have a boyfriend?

The company says she has a boyfriend, but I don't think it's the case.

What do you mean by that?

If that's the case, she wouldn't go on a matchmaking date.

Matchmaking date?

Her team member said that.

Ding Ning, you're such a loser.

You are a high-quality specimen right in front of her,

but she chose to go on a matching date instead of choosing you?

Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth.

You are annoying.

Are you panicking over such a trivial matter?

It's not that, Chairman Zheng.

It's one thing that Wanli grabbed away REGHT from me. I can forget about it.

The Goddess Festival event was clearly doomed.

Suddenly, it was revived. And it was so successful.

In the meeting for next month's reports, I'm sure Ding Ning will steal the limelight again.

I haven't even settled in Hengtian long enough.

Considering the contrast,

I'm afraid I can't survive.

Is this the end of the show already?

The game is not even half over. What's the rush?

How can I not feel anxious?

Chairman Zheng, Wanli has been going uphill. And it doesn't have any enemies.

Everything is going so well for it.

I don't know what else I could do.

Solutions are developed by people.

Even if there is no enemy, we can create one for them.

So you have a plan?

[Director Zhang]

Hello.

Good.

Director Zhang, thank you.

I know that you rarely handle such a small project.

This time, I owe you one.

Okay.

Mom, why did you scare me?

You dressed like that at the matchmaking date.

It was deliberate, wasn't it?

Have you had dinner yet?

I've already eaten. Have you eaten?

I... I asked you about the matchmaking date!

I didn't have dinner.

I'm so exhausted from the event at the mall all day.

Look at you, kid.

No matter how busy you are, you have to eat at least.

If you body fails, your dad and I will feel the pain.

What do you want to eat?

I'll cook it for you.

Your fridge is so empty.

Why don't you keep some food around?

I have been working overtime for several days.

That's why you should find a man

who can take good care of you.

what's wrong with Xiao Chen?

Why didn't you like him?

He is quite good. We just don't suit each other.

So what kind of man are you looking for?

You can make a list of requirements.

I like them when they're young and handsome.

What nonsense are you talking about?

I told you the truth. You don't believe me?

You're not getting any younger anymore.

I don't expect anything from your brother,

but you need to try harder.

- You know what? Auntie Wang... - The water is boiling.

It's ready. Come and eat.

Look at this kid. He's not studying hard again.

It's not easy for you to hang out with me on Saturday.

Can you concentrate on the afternoon tea?

You're worried about this and that.

I'm telling you, if I went back ten years ago to choose again,

I would definitely follow your example and focus on my career.

At least I can control my own life.

Don't talk nonsense to me. If you could really start again...

What's the matter? Is that your husband?

That really is Wang Liren.

Take a look. This is the layout of the whole floor.

- Honey. Why are you here? - That's not bad.

I'm talking with a client.

Director Yu?

It's Director Guan!

We even run into each other in the weekend.

It seems that we are really fated.

It is a coincidence.

Since we are fated to meet,

next Friday, is our agreement still on as usual?

Yes. Of course, it's business as usual.

Oh, yes. I heard you say last time that

your husband is busy preparing a new mall?

Where is this new mall?

It's on Xiyuan Road, I think.

It seems to be not far from Wanli.

You know that I never inquire about his company matters.

I've never been to this new project.

What's the matter? Do you need his help with anything?

Nothing. I just suddenly remembered about it and asked casually.

Shouldn't you pick up Xiao Zhe now?

Almost. What about you?

I should go back to the company. I need to deal with something.

I'm off first, then.

I'm sorry to disturb everyone's weekend break.

But something urgent came up that I need to explain to everyone immediately.

Come to the company in an hour for a quick meeting.

Boss, did something happened?

Why is the progress so slow lately?

Make a list of all the details of brands and clients

that are not almost signed or not signed yet and report to me.

Okay.

I have eight clients in the lifestyle sector.

Six of them are basically settled on the conditions and locations.

They told us they already reported to their headquarters.

Now, we're waiting for the lawyers of both parties to review the contract.

Why haven't they signed yet?

- They're about to. - How long has it been?

About a month.

It has been a while. They cut a few terms.

The main issue is the sharing on the memership fees.

Their legal division disagreed.

- Find all the problematic clauses and show them to me. - Yes.

What about you?

I have three luxury brands that are ready to be approved by their headquarters.

- I have four domestic fashion... - Hold on.

How long have they been waiting for approval? Why is it still not approved yet?

It has been a while. I'll follow them up.

Tell the Legal Department that these terms are not important. I agree to release them.

Tell them not to worry anymore.

Agree to their terms immediately and sign the contract.

Yes.

Starting now, report to me every two days on the progress of the contracts.

All the merchants who are in the negotiation period,

copy all the emails with them to me immediately. I want to know the progress.

- Yes. - Yes.

If there are any abnormal behaviors and attitudes in a brand, let me know right away. Meeting is dismissed.

- Yes. - Yes.

Da Luo, stay behind. I need to talk to you.

Go and check the new mall for me.

Feile City? I've heard of it.

It's built by a small developer. It will open in the fourth quarter.

Although the mall is not far from us,

the quality is average. There's nothing to worry about.

Really?

I ran into Director Yu

meeting the Feile City's manager in private.

Director Yu from Tumei?

He told me he already reported to the headquarters.

He said that it wouldn't be a big problem for it to enter Wanli.

The two malls are so close.

Tumei can't enter Wanli and also enter Feile City.

You're right.

You've been in charge of this matter.

It concerns your KPI. So I'll leave it to you.

Go and check the market for me.

But... keep it quiet.

Don't affect the team's morale.

Understood.

You aren't eating much. On a diet?

There's an open table across from us.

Let me ask you something.

Why did Director Guan tell you to stay after the meeting?

- Nothing much. - Nothing much?

Don't think I don't know.

It's about the incident against the Marketing Department and Lei Kesen. You and Boss did it.

Look at you. What are you doing? Let go.

Wang Yake, you want to die?

How can you say that in the open?

If someone intentionally hears it and makes a fuss,

won't it cause trouble for everyone?

Everyone?

Only you and Boss.

What are you talking about?

Why do you shun me?

When have I ever shunned you?

The Goddess Festival event.

I know you tow made a big move against Lei Kesen.

But why didn't you include me to join the fun?

Can you not be so childish?

We are fighting for resources now.

We're fighting a war. We aren't playing a game.

The reason why Boss didn't tell you was to protect you.

If the Marketing Department bites back, you wouldn't be implicated.

So you say. You think I don't know that Boss prefers you?

The two of you think I'm stupid,

that I can't do much to help.

What are you thinking about?

Can't you think?

Come back!

It's so annoying.

Liren?

What's going on?

What's this medicine you're taking?

It's a vitamin supplement to increase my immunity.

I've been too tired lately.

You do need some supplements.

But the medicine has a strong smell.

Honey, I need to tell you something.

My mall is very close to Guan Wen's mall.

So please don't talk to her about my work.

You're competing for resources with Wanli?

Business is about fair competition. Everyone relies on their own abilities.

You can't do that. Guan Wen helped you with Consultant Zhang.

We can't...

What did you just say?

I told you already. Don't worry about my business.

Just take care of Xiao Zhe. Take good care of yourself.

And take care of our family well.

Why do you wear yourself out?

Do you think I ended up hurting you on this matter?

You're my husband.

Is it wrong to feel sorry for you?

I see you leaving home every day. You are under great pressure.

I want to share the burden with you. Is there anything wrong with that?

I didn't mean that.

What do you mean then? You're finding I'm annoying?

At work, I can't help you, And you won't even touch me in life.

Wang Liren, although we are husband and wife,

we are an unhealthy and abnormal couple.

What are you talking about? It's because I-

Mom and Dad, you're talking so loudly.

It's bothering me.

Sorry.

You can coax the kid to sleep.

Let's stop fighting.

I'm sorry, Xiao Zhe.

I'll put you to bed.

Sorry.

Please come again!

[Closed]

I know you're tired. But if you don't want to see problems in the next promotional event,

it's better to organize the process beforehand.

Okay. Let's talk over there.

♫ Gentle warmth under the streetlamp's glow is like a warm breeze ♫

♫ Pedestrians embracing gently in the twilight ♫

♫ Light-hearted moments with gentle footsteps, armed with the vitality of youth, unburdened by stress ♫

♫ Waving off the inexperience of youth ♫

♫ Those who journeyed beside me have cultivated their wings ♫

♫ Changing locations every 30th day ♫

♫ Starting my wild journey with dreams in tow ♫

Understand now?

I do.

Let's talk there.

Mr. Wang is waiting for you inside.

Miss Jing, this way, please.

Thank you.

Hello. Do you have an appointment?

I have an appointment with Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Wang, right? Mr. Zhao is waiting for you inside.

This way, please.

What kind of consulting are you interested in?

The experience is not good?

It used to be good.

It's been a long time since I've experienced it.

What have you tried?

Massage. Yoga. Nourishing soup.

Drinking soup. Exercise. And see a doctor.

How long has it been since you had sex with your wife?

Ever since last year, I've been particularly busy.

So it's been less than a year.

Almost a year.

Ever since last year after his company received a few big projects, there hasn't been any.

Do you regret choosing to be with him?

To be with him, when I was at the peak of my career,

I chose to give up work.

My wife and I love each other.

For me, she gave up her beloved career.

And return to the cozy home he had built for us.

Then she got pregnant.

She suffered a lot during the pregnancy.

She couldn't sleep at night. Morning sickness.

We also have an adorable son.

- It's fair to say I have never regretted it. - I have never regretted it.

Do you still love each other?

- Yes, I do. - Yes, I do.

Not having made love for such a long time, what is the reason?

I think it's because his career rapid success.

But I didn't make any progress.

Perhaps... he doesn't love me anymore.

She probably thinks I don't love her anymore.

Actually, the reason is me.

I think you should be honest with each other.

Don't keep everything inside and make wild speculations.

Lin Hao!

Hao Hao!

When did I agree to go to a dinner with you?

Even if you didn't, you still have to.

Do I look good today?

Even a fairy is not as pretty as you.

[Honey]

Hello.

Why haven't you come back yet?

There was a traffic jam. I'll be there soon.

You're back?

What is the smell? It smells so bad.

- You're wearing cologne again? - Didn't I tell you not to order foul-smelling take-out?

You're paying attention to your appearance recently.

I'm the Deputy Director now.

It's normal to pay more attention than before.

You shouldn't eat all these junk food.

It's always takeout.

You are a woman. Why don't you learn how to cook?

You want to have home-cooked meals?

I can learn. Teach me.

Me?

I'm a deputy director.

I work outside every day to earn money.

When I come back, I have to teach you how to cook?

I worked outside all day.

I was in the cafe. I'm tired too.

Fine.

Neither of us should cook then.

Leave this house a mess!

Hao Hao, I have been too busy in the cafe lately.

That's why I ordered takeout.

You prefer home-cooked meals.

I'll learn how to cook and cook them for you every day.

Let me buy you a car.

It'll be easier for you to go to work.

Are you going to ask for money from your parents?

No need. I earned it myself.

Aren't you promoted to Deputy Director now?

I think you should get a car.

Do you have that much income now?

I'm tired. I'll rest first.

I don't think it's a big deal. So you have to work more on this.

- Follow through more, okay? - Thank you.

I'm going that way.

- Do you think Feile City is snatching our brand resources? - It's not what I think, I'm sure of it.

Last week, I ran into Director Yu meeting with Feile City's general manager in private.

This week, he suddenly said he would leave for two weeks on a business trip. So he delayed the contract signing.

If we don't find a solution right now, the situation will get out of control.

How can you prove it?

I asked Da Luo to secretly investigate the situation.

Previously, Feile City was only going to be a low-to-medium shopping mall.

But they upgraded not too long ago.

Sixty percent of the brands they are interested in overlap with our brands.

Do you think we'll lose an unknown developer?

They are unknown. And they've never done commercial properties.

However, they made a fortune by selling apartments.

They are very wealthy.

Indeed, the success of the Goddess Festival

established for Wanli a very good reputation and foundation.

But the best business conditions that we can offer are actually below the market level.

Compared with Feile City's deep pockets, we cannot compete with that at all.

To the brands on the first floor, they have

offered 100% of replenishment for decoration.

Don't we also have a budget approved by the Group for renovation support?

Have you forgotten? The money was used to fill the hole left by your predecessor.

The small leftover amount was used to subsidize REGHT.

If I were a brand, I wouldn't only focus on the commercial conditions.

The background of the mall is also important.

That's true. We have Lia Group as our support.

They are indeed an enterprise that has never done any commercial property.

By comparison, we are more reliable. And our mall has been opened for a year.

We can see the customer flow and the business operations.

That's why I underestimated the enemy previously.

- However? - However, they're sparing no expense.

They hired Zhang Li, an excellent business investment consultant.

I should take some responsibility for this.

Through Zhang Li's connections,

many brands are hesitating between us and them.

If these brands leave together, they can revitalize an entire mall.

And all the brands can have lower cost to open the stores.

Zhang Li?

The best way for us now is to separate out the brands.

Even if one or two brands are willing to take the risk at the new mall,

it won't make a big difference then.

But we don't have sufficient ammunition and weight in our hands.

Fight for the brands based on my connections alone?

To be honest, the chance to win is slim.

Do you expect our Group to Increase the decoration budget?

But Chairman Zheng doesn't like you. He won't approve it.

General Manager Ding, the clients are already waiting.

I'll find a way.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I'm sorry.

We agreed to meet at seven. Do you have any sense of time?

I was delayed by something in the company.

That business investment consultant that you wanted to introduce to me last time,

do you know each other well?

What's his background? Is he impressive?

Zhang Li?

He is very famous in the industry.

He is close to many brands.

And he only takes on big projects with sufficient capital.

Big projects?

So why is he working on business development for a small local mall?

- That's impossible. - It's true.

He is workong for your opponent, Feile City?

I recommended him to you first.

If you had listened to me to hire him as the business investment consultant,

- you wouldn't be in this situation now. - Yes.

It's all because you believe in Guan Wen.

I need to meet him. Help me arrange it.

Okay?

Will you or won't you?

I'll force myself to help you.

Thanks.

So this meal is my treat.

I still have something to do and need to go back to the office.

Thanks.

So you are abandoning me here?

General Manager Ding?

Director Zhang?

- I've heard so much about you. - Thank you.

- Have a seat. - Okay.

Why are you back here again?

You didn't go home either.

It's easier to concentrate when it's quiet at night.

I want to think of other ways

to solve our current predicament.

I heard that you went to find Zhang Li today,

to convince him to give up the project with Feile City.

This is the most direct solution.

Looks like he didn't agree.

But my speculation has been confirmed.

From his determination to work on File City,

someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Chairman Zheng?

What are you going to do next? Confront him directly?

It's not impossible.

Maybe just let it go?

If he is really behind the scenes,

he will never agree to increase Wanli's budget.

Rather, he will seize this opportunity to humiliate you.

I'll try to find out his strength. And see what he is up to.
