[Adapted from Yandou Laoge's novel, The Great Nation's Master Chef]

[Episode 9]

The Canteen ran into so many problems,

but did Huaixiang Group,

the top of the Eight Great Chinese Restaurants,

offer any help?

I haven't had the chance to take out my anger on you,

and now you are coming at me.

Your sister...

Your sister made an investment.

That's the biggest help, isn't it?

It's okay. Let's go home.

I also invested.

With my own money!

Did you help get back the ancestral home?

Did you help with the food supply?

With the renovation?

The promotion?

Hey.

She is busy most of the time

managing a large company, right?

I'm defending you, yet you're taking her side!

Are you done talking?

If so, go back.

I have something to discuss with him.

Not yet. I have more to say!

You look down on him!

Do you know how much

Canteen made today?

Hey!

Don't talk about this in public.

How much was it?

Almost 300,000.

More than any other restaurants you're in charge of.

Should be grateful you married him.

You can go up.

I need to talk with her.

What is it that can't be said before him?

Fine.

If it's not awkward for you,

let's lay everything out on the table.

What is this?

You hired a private detective to spy on us?

It couldn't be.

She wouldn't do that.

Someone is up to no good.

Mr. Song gave this to me.

He found it at the door of Mom's ward

and gave it to me not to upset her.

What's so shameful about this?

You're a young woman.

Please be mindful of your public image.

Don't give others a chance to spread your rumors.

Mind my image?

What did we do wrong?

I don't care what rumors

people are spreading about me.

And you?

You also think we're having an affair?

Wait.

I think the most urgent thing now

is to review the security footage at the hospital

to see who did this.

Right?

Go up now.

I need to talk with him.

Rushuang lacked love growing up.

It'd be good if you could be more attentive to her.

What? I didn't do anything wrong.

To save Canteen,

I bet with my uncle on the performance of the North and South Districts

while you are being so casual.

Please show some sense of urgency.

You didn't tell me.

How was I supposed to know?

What is going on?

What else could it be?

He wants to kick me out of the game.

Now he's using Canteen to hold it against me.

I see.

Don't worry,

I won't hold you back.

Are you hungry?

I'll make you a bowl of wontons.

We can eat together.

I'm not eating.

Reserve a private room

at 6 PM tomorrow at your restaurant.

What is it?

I've arranged to meet with the producer of a food show

to pitch an interview about the Canteen.

You'd better put on a good performance.

So I'm using

connections from the Tao family?

That's a violation of our agreement.

Take it or leave it.

I want it.

Thank you!

He grew up by the sea,

so he loves fresh flavors.

I'll cherish

this opportunity you're fighting for.

Hello,

Mr. Song.

Could you try to pull up the hospital security footage

and see who left the photo

outside my mom's ward.

Can you beat Tao Ruxue this time?

The South District

will win this with your support

and the traffic driven

by the Tiangxiang Rankings,

But in the North District Food Street,

some Canteen suddenly appeared

and became her profit growth point.

That's a bit annoying.

The Canteen's owner

is quite close to Tao Ruxue and Tao Rushuang.

I heard Tao Ruxue contacted

a producer of a food show

to get them featured in a report.

If they want to play it this way,

I'll find some people

to stir things up

and help them get exposure.

This,

this is perfect!

Glad to hear that.

The Canteen has a high rating on the Tianxiang Rankings app.

You should

crush it in its cradle.

As expected of you.

That's exactly what I want.

[Canteen]

Ding Chan,

it's only 6:30 AM.

If you keep working this hard,

I'll have to give you a special award for dedication.

I have something to do in the morning,

so I'm making up for the hours I'll miss.

It's fine. Just ask for leave.

If it were other bosses,

they'd be dying for us

to work overtime.

Yet you're always

telling us to go home and get some rest.

You're still young.

After a long time of work, you'll understand

your health is the most important asset.

If your performance improves,

but your body collapses,

what's the point of that?

Don't build a career

only to end up destroying yourself.

My parents used to

fight over these kinds of things.

Looking at it now,

I wonder what the point of life is.

You can never earn all the money.

Making enough is all you need.

Live in the moment.

To do what I love with whom I care for.

That's my biggest wish.

Qiao Zhi,

I've been thinking these past few days.

I'm so lucky to have met you.

I feel the same way.

Never expected to find such an outstanding partner.

Qiao Zhi,

there's something

I've always wanted to ask you.

Do you,

you...

currently...

have

a

girl…

girl...

A girl apprentice?

Yes!

A girl apprentice!

That's it.

Are you in such a hurry

to become Zhou Chong's junior?

I don't mean that.

I refuse.

Ding Chan,

I sometimes speak

my mind directly.

Please don't take it to heart.

Having observed you for a period,

I have to say you have no talent for cooking.

This direct?

I really have no talent?

But you have a skill

that has impressed me.

What skill?

Tell me.

What was the bill for the most expensive table on the 21st?

2,360 yuan.

What did they order?

That group of guests was special.

They didn't have a reservation,

but they ordered many expensive dishes.

I observed them.

The guest who paid had Gucci glasses,

worth over 4,000 yuan,

Balenciaga shoes,

and a Hermès hoodie.

Do you know what the most outrageous thing was?

He was wearing a Rolex Yacht-Master watch

worth over 200,000 yuan!

No.

I was asking

what dishes they ordered.

Ah, right!

You mean the food.

They ordered the Sturgeon Dragon Banquet,

Glazed Fish Bones,

Chicken Marrow Bamboo Shoots,

and Crab Meatballs.

The four dishes are 588 yuan each.

With drinks and rice included,

the total came to 2,360 yuan.

Another question.

What was the best-selling dish

on the second day of our opening?

Mapo Tofu!

How many servings were sold?

127.

You really are...

What?

You're sensitive to numbers, aren't you?

I majored in finance and accounting.

Isn't that only natural?

No.

I have an idea.

I wonder

if you would agree to it.

Go on.

I want to put all my money

in your care.

But

how can I do that?

I'm being serious.

Every single expense of Canteen

will be in your charge.

You manage everything clearly.

You're not joking,

are you?

I may have many things,

but I lack a sense of humor.

So, do you agree?

Since you trust me so much,

of course I'm willing to.

Alright. Come on.

Minister of Finance!

What is it?

Here.

I have to do my homework even here?

No.

I'm giving you a new task.

Every day,

record the feelings and thoughts

of our staff and customers.

One for the staff,

and the other for the customers.

Why should I?

Isn't this a waste of time?

If I hadn't promised your dad.

I wouldn't have bothered with you.

Then teach me something real.

I'm teaching you.

If you do this well,

it'll benefit you for a lifetime.

Am I really your apprentice?

I think I'm more like your secretary.

Alright then.

Zhou Chong,

tell me.

What do you think

is most important

to a restaurant

or a company?

The food you make.

Who would eat the food?

The customers, right?

Your family is in real estate.

Ask your dad

how many financial and human resources

they invest in market research.

That's true.

They seem to outsource that

to other companies.

So,

even if my cooking skills are the best,

and the food I make is delicious,

I still need to figure out customers' thoughts and feelings.

I don't have the energy for this.

So you'll handle

this important task.

Constantly record the feelings and thoughts

of our customers.

From ordering to waiting in line,

and from dining to checkout.

Take note of everything clearly.

Report to me promptly

which parts they are satisfied with,

and which parts they are not.

But

it's impossible

to please all the customers.

That's just your excuse.

Great service is something

everyone can appreciate.

And delicious food?

Well, absolutely everyone

will love it!

But

why should I

record the employees'…

I get it now!

They face the customers directly.

Not bad!

Whether it's a company

or real estate,

they're pretty much alike.

To understand the market and your users,

and make good use of your employees.

This is what management is all about.

In the future,

whether you're managing the Canteen

or taking over your father's business,

you'll be able to stand on your own two feet.

Understand.

It's break time now.

I'm going to go around

and ask our neighbors.

Okay.

Learning to apply what you've learned!

I won't let you down.

Mr. Zhan,

it's been a long time.

I ground and made this cappuccino for you.

Just like always,

this one is on the house for you.

Thank you.

[Tonight's grand show has been arranged]

Madam, what would you like to drink?

A cup of coffee, please.

And a dessert.

No. I'll be leaving shortly.

You're already leaving?

Why are you in such a hurry?

I came to ask you what's going on.

This person named Han Bin

is your good friend, right?

Not exactly.

Just an ordinary friend.

What was he doing?

What did he leave at the door?

A photo that slanders Rushuang.

A photo that slanders Rushuang?

Does he even know her?

Why would he bother?

I don't know.

I'm still looking into it.

But pass a message on to him.

If he dares to harass my family again,

I will not let him off the hook.

There must've been a misunderstanding.

Look,

when I see him,

I'll get the whole story straight.

If he did it,

I'll take care of him for you.

Please calm down.

I thought you came today

to talk about the Canteen.

The Canteen?

What's wrong with that?

Did you go

to a food show producer,

hoping he could do

a feature on the Canteen?

Yes.

He told you all about it?

I recommended

Mr. Huang to you.

So he would have to let me know.

You also know

Huaixiang Group has been cutting its budget these past two years,

but Baiwei Group

is their major client.

You've helped me a lot over the years.

I'm very grateful to you.

But I'm in the real world now

and can handle some things.

Don't bother with my appointment with Mr. Huang.

Okay.

Of course, I hope you can stand

on your own two feet.

A strong woman, right?

But I'm just worried about you.

You're dealing with those old men.

What if you get tricked?

Scheming and fighting against them

can be quite exhausting.

Truly physically and mentally draining.

But I actually want to see

whether I can outmaneuver them.

I gotta go.

Remember to tell your friend.

If it happens again,

I will not let him off the hook.

I'll handle it.

[Han Bin]

Mom,

our restaurant

was leased to Qiao Zhi.

It's renamed Canteen.

It's open for business

with

pretty good performance.

Right now, I'm helping out

at the shop with him.

You know what, Mom?

From him,

I suddenly understand

why you fell in love with Dad.

A man with a strong sense of responsibility

is truly so charming.

Uncle.

You've completely disgraced our family.

Do you have any shame?

What are you doing?

This is a hospital.

Make a scene, and I'll call the police.

Who are you?

Mind your own business!

She's our niece.

As her elders, we should educate her.

None of your business.

My elders?

You hit me in public so as to get the money for my mom's treatment.

I'm warning you.

Don't you ever come to us again.

Oh, my poor brother!

I can't control her

anymore.

Such an unfilial daughter!

She sold the family's

only restaurant.

With the money she got from it,

she lives a life of debauchery.

Her mom was so angry that she got sick.

Tell me.

You sold the restaurant for 200,000 yuan.

Give the money

to your aunt

to hold onto.

You don't take care of your mom, right?

We'll look after her for you.

You'll look after her?

Since my mom got sick,

have you come to see her once?

Did you look after me for a day growing up?

Or ever give me a piece of candy?

Now that I have money,

you're openly robbing me.

I bet

you rotten gambler

lost all your money again!

Who are you calling a rotten gambler?

You!

What's that?

What do you want to do?

I'll beat you to death!

She's spreading lies!

I'll kill you!

I'll kill you, you brat!

I'll beat your brains out!

Crush you!

Just look at her!

The only restaurant.

She is just hopeless.

She goes to pubs

every day.

Her mom was so angry that she got sick.

Way to go!

[Huaixiang Restaurant]

Who prepped these ingredients?

Can't even pick out bad leaves?

Are you blind?

Bao,

was it you?

Could you put half that energy

into your actual work?

Got arrogant after your raise, huh?

If you hate this job, quit already!

You've got some nerve showing attitude!

I know you've always

looked down on me.

For two whole years,

you never gave me a decent look.

Fine.

If you can, prove yourself with your skills!

I only respect skills.

Play political games and suck up are all you do.

Don't act like you don't know

how you passed the promotion evaluation.

What am I supposed to know?

I wish I were as skillful as you are,

but have you ever taught me?

It's been two years,

two years,

all you've done is yell at me, belittle me,

and sabotage me behind my back!

Even if I'm not your apprentice,

we're colleagues, right?

In this kitchen,

besides this stove being hot,

is there any warmth among colleagues?

Come on.

Can you just grow up?

This is where you work, not your home!

Even demanding warmth.

Just say it already!

Because I sided with Ms. Tao

instead of Tao Rende like you did!

But must you do this?

This whole company's

got zero life in it!

Where are you going?

If you leave now, even your uncle won't be able to save you!

I quit.

Get back here!

Don't you dare come back after you leave!

What are you staring at?

Get back to work.

[Canteen] Bao Tong, what brings you here?

I need to see Qiao Zhi.

He is rather busy at the moment.

As you can see,

we're swamped.

Madam, wait.

He asked me to help in the kitchen.

Help?

Oh, thank goodness!

Come in!

He's on the verge

of losing it!

Really?

So here I am!

Everyone, hurry up.

Mr. Qiao,

looking flush these days.

What brings you here?

Slammed today, can't host you properly.

It's okay. Do your thing. Just dropping by.

Boss, 18 female crabs

and the grouper are prepped!

Eighteen female crabs

and the grouper are prepped!

Got it.

Take over my station.

On it.

Female crabs?

Female crabs with a grouper.

What's your plan?

Crab Meat with Egg White.

But classically, it uses

river crabs and crab roe.

Yes.

This is my modified version.

Great.

I'm genuinely floored by your skills!

This seafood and river crab dish may cost over 1,000.

Right!

Are the dishes ready?

Customers are losing patience!

Stop rushing me!

The wok is on fire as it is!

Then move faster!

Boss,

can we get extra hands?

I agree.

We need more support!

Sure.

I'll sort it out later.

Hey bro.

Bro.

If you don't mind,

I could give you a hand.

Awkward much?

What's awkward about it?

One condition though.

I can't handle dishes this expensive,

but I have home-style ones down cold.

Let's roll!

Boss,

him?

Are you sure?

You'll see.

Call him Bao already!

He's a chef at a five-star hotel.

Learn from him! Now!

Bao.

Bao.

Grab him an apron.

A good friend!

He'll make

these two dishes!

Bao,

these two dishes are yours!

Copy that!

Dig in, everyone!

Yes!

Right on!

Right this way.

Whoa!

Business this booming?

Can barely squeeze through!

Good wine needs no signpost.

Gourmet food hides where least expected.

I saw online the other day

that a rich kid smashed a car here.

They're all here for photos with that kid, I suppose.

Rest assured.

The dishes here are exceptional.

The chef's been prepping specially for you.

Should be ready any moment now.

Good evening, everyone.

I'm Qiao Zhi,

chef of this establishment.

Serve the dishes.

Allow me to present these dishes.

Tri-flavor Shrimp,

Crispy Walnut Duck,

Fried Lettuce, Asparagus, and Bamboo Shoots with Mushroom Oil

and

Shahe Fish Head.

Well,

they're visually striking.

Indeed.

What a jarring contrast to these surroundings.

Never expected that.

Then

shall we dig in?

By all means.

Please.

Tastes great!

Promoting traditional Chinese cuisine

is the core philosophy

that resonates deeply with me.

No wonder Xue

insisted on producing

an episode on this restaurant.

Restaurants working with dedication grow ever rarer.

Media professionals should wield

their influence to safeguard them.

Our deepest gratitude.

Hurry, keep pace!

Excuse me for a moment.

Please enjoy your meal.

Have a look.

It's her.

It's her.

Look.

This young lady.

It's her.

What are you doing?

I was talking about her.

Let go.

Hey!

He hit you?

It's him.

This bully

illegally seized our restaurant

and committed brutal violence!

Your station must demand justice for us!

Broadcast his crimes to the world!

He's the culprit!

We're here to investigate and verify the situation.

Mr. Zheng said

you occupied this restaurant.

May I ask if this is true?

I transferred it to him.

Nonsense!

I lent money to your parents.

After their accident,

you just

willingly handed over this restaurant.

They repaid every cent long ago.

If not for this IOU,

you'd believe what she said.

Gaze upon this!

250,000 yuan.

In black and white!

This IOU's fake!

Liar.

Let Ding Chan

examine it herself.

No way!

Listen closely.

Repay the money now!

Or forget your business!

What nonsense?

Forget what?

Your forehead looks dark.

It means bad luck!

Lean back.

Brat, what did you say?

A Slap across the face

will cost me 5,000.

Attacking his ribs

will cost me 50,000.

Attacking his head

will cost me 100,000,

and I'll be criminally liable.

Current

balance insufficient.

Zhou Chong.

Listen.

You're cursing me?

Did I?

Did you hear me curse him?

I saw you swearing.

Is it so?

What's wrong with me cursing you?

Want to hit me?

Come and hit me.

Want to hit me?

Go ahead.

You deserve a beating!

You deserve it.

I'll kill you.

Stop! How can you hit him?

Stop! You can't hit him.

Stop. Stop fighting.

Ouch!

Call the police and have him arrested.

- See? - He hit me.

- He hit me. - He hit my employee.

Yes, he hit me.

Hit the common people.

Have you recorded it?

He hit my employee.

Alright now?

You alright?

Fine, just scraped up.

Does it

still hurt?

No.

A real man can take a few bumps.

Got you an ice pop.

Helps with the swelling.

Thanks.

Didn't know you had it in you today.

Where'd that move come from?

Finally learned to use your head.

Not sure what's gotten into me lately.

Suddenly seeing problems

I'd never noticed before.

So

how should we reward you?

Reward?

Now that's just awkward.

This was all Ding Chan's doing.

She found the outstanding payment records.

How detestable!

Pretending to forget?

Ding Chan,

let's just forget about it.

Don't take it to heart.

Right.

Come on.

Let's go.

Go.

Let's go.

[Canteen]

Liu

is working late for a story?

Never seen him so dedicated before.

Bless your heart.

Canteen's food

is surprisingly decent.

However,

given current circumstances,

we should pause the feature.

Still

I'm grateful for your support, Mr. Huang.

Once public sentiment settles,

we'll reconvene then.

Okay.

Then

that's it for now.

Thank you for your hospitality tonight.

Please.

Thank you!

Don't bother.

Go back.

Thank you.

[Good Good BBQ Restaurant] Zheng went in for quite a while.

Why hasn't he come out yet?

The longer the time,

the bigger the commotion.

Huo, you're quite effective.

He wants to be popular?

I

helped him.

It's all done.

Good.

I have informed the reporters.

Wait for it to air tomorrow.

Okay.

Have Mr. Zhan

increase the funds.

I'll recruit more people soon

to contribute effort.

Huo,

a toast to you.

Yan,

decided how to thank me yet?

I'll wine and dine you properly!

Later, I'll cook a few dishes

and deliver them to your wife.

The feature

can't proceed, right?

Apologies.

You fought hard for this chance.

I failed to secure it.

What's the police's update?

Ding Chan paid off that debt years ago.

I think these protesters

were planted for the cameras.

A staged smear campaign.

Hello, Senior.

Slept yet?

No.

Just returned from a scene.

Late call. Urgent?

The Canteen case, right?

I was there too.

Apologies. Didn't catch that.

As you know,

my family runs restaurants.

I'm acquainted with its owner.

Who requested your visit?

Via audience hotline?

Well.

Mr. Huang raved about this place

and sent me to shoot footage tonight.

Never expected this scene.

Mr. Huang?

Yes.

Understood.

Get some rest.

Zhan Shikun pulled this stunt.

What despicable means!

It's okay.

I've got this.

Canteen

won't hold you back in the North District!

Not bad.

Right?

Bao,

I picked this outfit for you.

Does it match your temperament?

Mainly because of my good temperament.

Really?

Right?

Get back to work.

Zhi.

When business booms too bright,

it breeds envy.

Fame attracts chaos.

As we built this from nothing,

these trials were always coming.

Yes, there'll surely be more.

You just opened for business.

Have you joined any circles?

Join a circle?

Look, you know nothing.

Every trade has its rules.

Ours is special

with the Chinese Cuisine and the Western Cuisine.

You know

Ms. Tao,

right?

Network more with her

to soak up that wisdom.

One intro from her

will be our golden ticket.

Okay.

Master,

check this out!

Turns out my face

photographs like a dream!

Should I invest

in some sharp threads?

Might be on camera often now.

This outfit

is a bit basic.

But no yellow, washes you out!

He rocks it though!

Qiao Zhi,

trouble!

A gang of punks is at the door.

They've taken over all the tables!

How can they do that?

Who runs this show?

No kingpin here?

Daddy's in charge!

Hey,

you know where you are?

Heard of Huo from the food street?

That's my blood brother!

Cause trouble here?

Don't push your luck.

I'm so scared.

Huo from the food street?

I'm Huo!

Are you kidding me?

Trying to fool me?

Master,

I recognize these punks.

All unemployed locals.

Should we call the police?

Local boys?

Then no need to trouble the police.

I'm offering you a fair shot.

It won't be late

to leave now.

Offering a fair shot?

Call your backup?

Go ahead.

Director,

tell nearby households.

Missing kids found.

Come fetch them at the Canteen.

You useless layabout!

Useless!

And you,

you,

are following his bad example!

- Dare to target the Canteen? - Mom.

- How dare you? - Stop hitting!

I'm sorry!

You ungrateful traitor!

Mom, stop.

Don't you get it?

We eat their food three meals a day!

Last weekend,

Qiao just comped us.

Apologize now!

Qiao,

sorry.

Don't call him like that.

Call him Mr. Qiao.

Mr. Qiao,

I'm wrong.

Mr. Qiao,

I'm wrong.

I dare not do it again.

On your feet.

Mrs. Liu,

they might've acted on impulse.

Just take them home.

Apologies for the fuss.

Come with me now.

Go.

Let's go.

Master's next level!

Zhi,

I used to wonder

why you treated our neighbors so well,

always giving them so many benefits.

Now I see

your game theory!

Wasn't some calculated move.

These folks

watched me grow up.

If I can help, I'll just lend a hand.

Yes.

Corporate social responsibility.

Don't go labeling my kindness.

Looks like a coordinated attack.

What's fresh now?

Look at this.

[The Canteen Rating: 1.1] The Tianxiang Rankings.

[The braised chicken is terrible] All negative reviews!

What should we do?

Do nothing.

Tell everyone not to mind.

Business as usual.

I believe that guests

will judge for themselves.

Look!

The Canteen's rating

is only one star!

Scandals every other day.

Like our group's public embarrassment!

Exactly.

Xue,

[Huaixiang Group] how many times have I told you?

You just won't listen.

The Canteen is completely unreliable.

But you wouldn't listen.

Now do you believe me?

How's it going?

Recently,

how much have you lost?

You should deal with the Canteen now.

Otherwise, even if I defeat you,

I won't feel proud about it.

Yes, indeed.

Mr. Tao's restaurants

have seen a significant increase in sales recently

due to the product placements in variety shows.

If we follow his strategy

and collaborate with more top-tier variety shows,

our sales will skyrocket this year!

Yes.

It surely will.

Sales will definitely soar.

Xue,

there are 10 days left

until our agreed-upon time.

To be honest,

we're family,

and I don't

want to defeat you.

But

we have to consider the interests of shareholders.

Don't you agree?

Yes, exactly.

Don't worry.

If I lose, I'll accept it.

Good.

[Zhan Shikun: Xue, I'm at your office.]

Sorry, I have things to do.

Xue,

this book is great,

helpful for management.

Don't touch my stuff without permission.

Okay.

Well.

Do you like reading?

My family was poor when I was a kid.

My dad often

told me

to learn more

as knowledge can change one's fate.

You know, the older generation

always goes in for that sort of thing.

Now, as a successful person,

looking back,

do you agree that knowledge can change your fate?

Cognition,

ability,

and opportunity

are all indispensable.

One more thing.

What?

To resort to any means necessary.

Exactly.

Starting a business

is like snatching food from the jaws of a tiger.

If you don't play some tricks,

you might

get swallowed.

I was destined to lose the bet with him.

Since you've achieved your goals,

stop harassing the Canteen.

I really admire you.

Look, you just graduated,

so young,

and you've taken over such a big company,

managing it in an orderly manner.

Couldn't beat the Baiwei Group though.

The Baiwei Group

is a listed company after all.

I know

your mom left all the property to you.

But it

will run out one day.

I have a proposal.

Would you like to hear it?

What proposal?

The Baiwei Group

will buy a portion of your shares,

enough to reach holding status.

And you take the helm

of Huaixiang Group.

Of course,

this is all based

on absolute trust

between you

and me.

What do you mean by absolute trust?

Xue,

we've known each other for three years.

What do you think of me?

Pretty good.

You did help me a lot in the past.

But now it seems

I'm getting to know you better.

So,

do you understand me

or not?

Go ahead, please.

Okay.

Then I'll just say it straight out.

Xue,

from the first time I saw you,

I fell in love with you.

If you could be with me,

I promise

to fully support your career

and give you a warm home.

You're a better businessman than your father.

Agree?

Sorry

to disappoint you.

I'm married.

Are you kidding me?

Married?

Who did you marry?

Can't disclose right now.

However, please tell your father

he can forget about the merger.

I finally understand what my mother said.

What did she say?
