[The Girl Who Sees Smells]

[Episode 12]

Fenfen loves wine.

She has a perfect sense of taste.

In time,

she'll be an excellent Master of Wine.

Don't look down on her.

You're a bit odd.

Do you like her?

Are you crazy?

You're overreacting.

I'm just pissed.

I know you.

Since you were young,

you've been wanting everything Mingchen has.

You have the gall to say that.

You've always been partial to Xu Mingchen.

I'm serious.

Why don't you

turn on the charm?

After all,

you're a top Master of Wine

and Lu Fenfen's boss.

Go steal her away from Mingchen.

Then you'll take the chance

to make Xu Mingchen yours.

Stop dreaming.

Why is it different from the movies?

Why do I feel dizzy?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Why did you come in?

You screamed,

so I came to check on you.

I'm fine.

Really?

Go out now.

Be careful.

Okay. This is so embarrassing.

It's fine. We're a couple.

No. I'm not fine with it.

I'll go. Be careful.

Okay.

You've moved in?

Congratulations.

You started a new phase in your life.

Something really embarrassing just happened.

It's fine. Just a blip that spiced things up.

Go dress up.

You must look amazing at this important moment.

Put on makeup.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Makeup.

Toning cream.

Powder foundation.

Color-changing lipstick.

He won't be able to tell

that I'm wearing makeup

and perfume.

Have I tried too hard?

No. You look beautiful.

Come here.

So many delicious dishes.

Yeah. I want to impress you.

Welcome to my house.

Have a seat.

Try my cooking.

Okay.

It's delicious.

It's great that you like it.

If you like it,

I can cook for you every day.

That'll be wonderful.

Then we are

officially living together now?

I'm happy that you moved in, Lu Fenfen.

Me too.

I didn't expect you to be so reliable.

They're really living together now.

Of course.

The power is out?

He Le.

What did you do?

Well, to make the act convincing,

I cut the power.

What?

Can you fix it now?

Sorry, no.

Then where should I stay tonight?

I'll book a room in a five-star hotel for you.

I'll go get a change of clothes.

Who are you, hottie?

You look so handsome.

I'm your boyfriend.

Let me tell you a secret.

When I first met you,

I was like, wow,

this guy is so good-looking.

Then you treated me so nicely.

♫Stars are clouds' messages in bottles♫

I knew you'd become my boyfriend one day.

♫They drift in the twinkling night sky♫

Let me tell you a secret too.

You have already

♫Deer wander in the magical forest♫

said the same thing before.

And you were drunk too.

♫They gather shiny dews♫

Really?

♫And the flying fireflies♫

So you've long found out that I like you?

♫I'm so lucky to be so happy♫

Yes.

♫We chat in each other's arms♫

♫Watching the fireworks illuminating the roof♫

♫Your fingertips melt♫

♫In my warm palm♫

It tickles.

♫Love is beautiful because of you♫

♫We're a picture when we walk hand in hand♫

You want to do something bad, don't you?

♫Whether it's rainy or sunny♫

♫We wade through the bad to get to the good♫

Just to let you know,

♫Love is beautiful because of you♫

I want the same thing.

♫You give me butterflies every second♫

♫I will keep this promise♫

♫I'll forever hold your hand♫

♫Love is beautiful because of you♫

♫We look like a picture when we walk hand in hand♫

♫Whether it's rainy or sunny♫

♫We wade through the bad to get to the good♫

♫Love is beautiful because of you♫

♫You give me butterflies every second♫

Qingran.

Nana.

Where's Mingchen?

He's the only one you care about?

How is Mingchen now?

He's getting younger and younger.

He looks like a teenager now.

I'm so worried.

Is it due to the disease you mentioned?

Are there other symptoms?

No.

He's just getting younger and younger.

If we can't find a cure,

he'll soon look like my son.

It's a wonderful disease.

I want to have it too.

This matter

will have an impact on the Group,

so we've been keeping it a secret.

Don't let on, Nana.

Qingran, I'm not a kid anymore.

Okay. I was worrying too much.

You're not a kid anymore.

Will she like it?

Don't worry. She will like it.

Nana.

What are you doing here?

Qingran.

I invited Tianran…

Philip to come over.

For my sake,

let's have a meal together.

Have a seat, Tianran.

Mingchen.

Sorry, we're late.

Qingran.

-It's you. -It's you.

Do you know each other?

We met when she came to buy wine.

Yeah.

It's a small world!

Nana.

This is a gift from me and Fenfen.

Hope you like it.

Thank you.

I like whatever you give me.

I'm glad that you like it.

Fenfen has been worried

that you wouldn't like it.

Come on. Let's sit down.

Nana, sit beside me.

Mingchen, what's in it?

Open it and you'll know.

How did you know I like this?

I'm so happy.

You told me when you were young.

You remember what I said?

We grew up together.

You're like my sister.

Of course I remember.

You should thank Fenfen too.

She inspired me.

Sure enough, girls know

what's the best gift for girls.

I'm glad you like it.

Thank you.

Mingchen.

I really want to go back to our childhood.

We used to

listen to music and play together.

Do you remember

us playing house together when we were kids?

We played husband and wife.

We all liked that game when we were young.

I played Xiong's bride when I was little.

He was the boy living next door.

We were just kids. It was just a game.

Nana is pretty and kind.

Whoever marries Nana in the future

is the luckiest man in the world.

Mingchen.

You're so nice to Miss Lu.

When you have a boyfriend,

he'll treat you very well too.

Miss Lu,

I heard

you used to sell wine in the supermarket.

No wonder you were so good at picking wine.

Thank you.

Fenfen is a sommelier in our hotel now.

She knows a lot about wine.

If you want to buy wine,

you can ask her for advice.

Don't bother.

Phillip can help me.

You can trust her taste.

She's been doing a great job as my assistant.

Speaking of that,

Phillip, you work with Miss Lu every day

and both of you love wine.

You two must have a lot to talk about, right?

You must enjoy each other's company very much.

Phillip is very talented.

I admire him very much.

You mean you're his fan?

What a coincidence!

I've admired Mingchen since I was young.

So,

I should work harder

to make Fenfen like me more.

Fenfen has been working very hard recently.

Tianran.

Fenfen is your brother's girlfriend.

That means she may be your sister-in-law.

Let me make it clear to you.

Fenfen is my assistant now.

Xu Tianran.

Let's eat. The dishes are getting cold.

Let's enjoy the food.

Qingran, let me propose a toast to you.

My goodness!

I never knew eating could be so exhausting.

I told you to relax.

How could I relax?

Miss Ding's big bright eyes

were fixed on you all the time.

I can tell that she likes you very much.

But I only like you.

Nana is childlike.

There's no need to worry.

I know.

She was very kind to me

when we met.

But after she found out

that I'm your girlfriend,

everything changed.

You made me lose a friend.

Go wash up and sleep.

Okay.

Stop moping.

I just don't understand

what's so good about Lu Fenfen.

Mingchen was so protective

towards her today

as if I was going to eat her alive.

That's exactly what you wanted to do.

You wanted to eat her alive

and just didn't get the chance.

Xu Tianran.

I told you not to call me that.

Phillip.

Why don't you take my side?

Qingran doesn't love me anymore.

That's a good thing.

You can team up with me.

What should I do?

I won't give up on Mingchen.

I believe that I'll win his heart eventually

as long as I work hard enough.

Whatever you say. Good luck.

[Anda Hotel]

Have you prepared the wine?

What is this?

David.

What are they busy with?

Bai Bing is here too.

You don't know?

Pear in Wine is coming.

Director Bai stayed up all night to get prepared.

Who's Pear in Wine?

A top influencer on TikTok.

She has millions of fans.

Really?

Yes.

She has greater influence

than a traditional Master of Wine.

Her few words of complaint

can make a bar go under.

Her likes and compliments

can immediately make a brand popular.

Why is she coming to our hotel?

She'll come to try our food and service

and then post a review online.

Director Bai is her huge fan

and the first one

to know about her coming.

It has put her nerves on edge.

What are you doing here?

Your director is so busy

but you got nothing to do?

You look like directors more than I do.

Sorry, Director Bai.

Be smart.

If you guys ruin this for me,

it'll end really badly for you.

Good.

Good afternoon, ladies.

What would you like to drink?

Could you recommend a wine for us?

Sure. No problem.

It's hot today.

A glass of iced Riesling

is a perfect choice.

What else do you have?

If you don't like Riesling,

I recommend

Grevino from the New World.

It is

a sweet Noble Rot wine

with an expressive nose of ripe fruits.

It's perfect for a charming lady…

I look so fat in this photo.

No retouching can save it. I'll delete it.

I look good in this one.

Like you.

What do you think?

What did you say?

I just recommended a Grevino

half-sweet white wine for you.

No, thanks. I'll have Riesling.

Okay. No problem.

Wait.

Is that American wine you mentioned really good?

This brand is not famous.

Pear in Wine

actually knows its region.

She's really something.

She ordered Riesling.

Riesling?

So simple?

We don't need Lu Fenfen. I'll serve it myself.

Get me a Grevino vintage wine

and chill it to the right temperature.

Chill the glass

to the proper temperature too.

Okay.

Thanks to Pear in Wine,

you got the chance to see me prepare the wine.

I don't serve ordinary people.

If you're interested,

I can recommend wines

from famous German wineries for you.

No. I'll have the charming one.

Sure. No problem.

I don't like it to be too sweet.

Don't worry.

I'll chill it to the best serving temperature.

Miss, here is your wine.

Where is the girl just now?

She's just a sommelier

in the Executive Lounge.

I'm the director. I'll serve you.

How do you like the wine?

It's good. You can leave now.

Ms. Pear in Wine, my name is Bai Bing.

I really like you.

Can I take a photo with you?

You're my fan.

Of course. Come here.

Come.

Director Bai did a great job this time.

She's likely to get a promotion and a raise.

This lady seems close to Director Bai.

She will definitely give us a good review.

That'll be wonderful.

It's good news for everyone.

OK.

Thank you.

Let's start the live stream.

The bar we're visiting today

is the famous

Anda Executive Lounge.

Before I came here,

I thought I'd have a wonderful experience.

But my friends,

it turns out that this bar

doesn't live up to its hype.

As you can see,

the environment

is very high-end and fancy,

exactly as I expected from a five-star hotel.

But the wine they served

disappointed me so much.

Pear,

how will you score this bar?

Zero. I don't recommend it at all.

Why?

Ms. Pear in Wine.

I want to know why.

Why?

Why did you say that in the live stream?

Why were you so harsh on us?

The wine is horrible.

How's that possible?

Who do you think you are?

Why should I answer your question?

The wine is horrible?

Everyone knows

that we only sell

the best wines

from the best regions.

No one has ever questioned us.

Why are you an exception?

Are you trying to blackmail…

There's something wrong with the wine,

but instead of fixing the problem,

you accused me of blackmail.

Are you really my fan?

Your terrible attitude

is worth a bad review.

Pear, our next stop is

Nanshan Tavern.

They have their own winery.

Collect our things.

Wait.

What do you want now?

My time is precious.

Sorry, Ms. Pear in Wine.

I apologize.

As long as you remove the bad review,

I can ask the hotel to pay you a sum of money.

I promise you'll be satisfied with our offer.

Are you crazy?

Do you really think I'm blackmailing you?

You're insulting my work ethic.

How do you think

I got to where I am today?

By posting beautiful selfies?

Let me tell you.

I sent every bad review

for a good reason.

Pear's photos have all been Photoshopped,

but all her reviews are true.

Shut up.

I'm not done with you yet.

Just wait.

I'll keep telling people how bad this hotel is.

I'm not leaving yet.

She seems very unsatisfied with our wine.

But there's nothing wrong with our wine.

Mr. Xu.

Hello.

I'm Xu Song, Vice President of Anda Group.

Are you Ms. Pear in Wine?

May I have a word with you?

Let's talk here.

Miss, I'm in charge of this matter.

I will take care of it.

Really?

It doesn't look like

you can take care of it.

I agree with

what Director Bai said.

Ms. Pear, tell me

what you want us to do for you.

I'll try my best to meet your request.

So,

you think I'm here to extort money too?

Let me ask you one question.

After I said the wine is horrible,

has any one of you thought of trying it?

You just kept asking me to change my review.

That's how a top-notch hotel treats its guest?

Do you have any respect

for your guests at all?

Is everyone giving you a bad review

trying to blackmail you?

Even a zero is too high a score for you.

Let's go.

I'll rate you below zero on my way back.

Pear, zero is the lowest score on the platform.

Then complain to the platform.

Sorry, Ms. Pear in Wine.

Please wait a moment.

Lu Fenfen, what are you doing?

The wine does have a weird taste.

Lu Fenfen.

It's not the right time to steal the show.

Don't you dare contradict me.

You said the wine has a weird taste.

Can you be more specific?

What is that taste?

Can you figure out

what caused the problem?

Mr. Xu, I can give it a try.

Now someone's taking me seriously,

but it's too late.

Sorry, Ms. Pear in Wine.

The wine indeed has a weird taste.

We apologize.

But if we can find out

the reason why the wine tastes strange,

can you remove the bad review on our bar?

Apologies aren't enough to make me relent.

Tell me what that taste is

and then why the wine tastes that way.

I'm not sure about it yet,

but it tastes like celery

and eggshell.

Lu Fenfen.

That's nonsense. How is that possible?

Fine. If you tell me the reason,

I'll remove the bad review.

Really?

You have my word.

But I don't have much time.

I'll give you half an hour at most.

Okay.

Lu Fenfen.

Are you sure you can make it?

I'll try my best, Mr. Xu.

If you can't find the reason,

you have to resign.

Okay.

Is the wine from this decanter?

Yes.

What's the problem?

I think she's just picking a fight.

There are too many people like her online.

But she doesn't want money.

What's her purpose?

She's doing it for the clout.

You're just bluffing.

Fenfen.

How about I open another bottle

of the same wine for you?

No. The wine is fine.

How can there be any problem with our wine?

Celery and eggshell?

Do you think you're still working in the supermarket?

Did you put the wine glass

in the fridge before serving the wine?

Yes. Of course.

Which fridge?

The fridge in the kitchen.

What do you mean?

Let's go.

I know it.

I've found the reason.

Ms. Pear in Wine is right.

The wine does have a strange taste.

At first, I thought

something went wrong

with the wine we purchased.

But I just tasted the wine

from the same bottle in the decanter.

It doesn't have the weird taste.

It means that the wine itself is fine.

So the problem lies in the preparation of the wine.

Lu Fenfen.

Are you saying that it's my fault?

Good for you.

Let her finish her words.

In the summer,

to ensure the taste of iced wine,

we usually chill the wine glasses too.

Unfortunately,

one of my colleagues

put leftover food in the fridge.

He took it out soon,

but the smell remained on the glass

and was absorbed by the wine.

I'm terribly sorry.

I just put it in there for a little while

and took it out soon.

I didn't know it would cause such big trouble.

So it's your fault.

I'm so sorry, Director Bai.

Sorry, Ms. Pear in Wine.

My colleague didn't mean it.

The strange taste is faint.

Most people can't discern it.

It's incredible

that you've noticed such a subtle difference.

Of course.

I remember every wine I've ever tasted.

Now that we've found the cause of the problem,

can you remove the bad review on our bar?

Of course. Send a post telling everyone

that I'll rerecord this episode.

Okay.

Not only will I remove the bad review,

but I'll also give a big hand

to this sommelier.

Without you, these fools

would still think I'm trying to extort money.

But I find it strange.

Anda Hotel has such a talent

but she just works as a sommelier.

An idiot like that

is made the director of the Executive Lounge.

How things work in the five-star hotel

is really a mystery to us.

You're right.

Lu Fenfen is indeed very talented.

She's just a sommelier

because we want to test her abilities.

Now that she's proved herself,

I hereby announce

that from now on,

Lu Fenfen is officially promoted

to the director of Anda Executive Lounge.

She'll manage the Executive Lounge with Director Bai.

Then we have two directors.

Mr. Xu, is this appropriate?

I believe in you.

Lu Fenfen got promoted?

Yes, Vice President Xu Song promoted her himself.

I see.

Go back to work.

Okay.

Director Bai.

Mr. Xu.

Director Bai.

You look indignant.

This matter could've caused a disaster.

You made the trouble, but Lu Fenfen turned the tide.

Don't forget

that Lu Chengdu has a powerful boyfriend.

Nothing is impossible.
