[The Girl Who Sees Smells]

[Episode 13]

Actually, I'm confused.

Logically speaking,

that guy named David

shouldn't have made such a careless mistake

on such an important day.

Had he really left the leftovers in the fridge by chance?

You mean he colluded with Lu Fenfen?

I don't know.

This whole thing looks fishy to me.

You've seen how it ended.

Lu Fenfen got promoted.

You were humiliated.

Director Bai,

I know your intention is good.

You just wanted to impress Mingchen

by getting an influencer to promote our service.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

I won't let them get away with it.

What's your plan?

Are you going to fall out with them?

David

has taken all the blame.

He has apologized for his mistake.

Even if you fired him now,

it wouldn't make much difference.

No matter what you do,

there's no way you can shift the blame to Lu Fenfen.

Director Bai,

I've heard that you and Lu Fenfen

have been on bad terms for long.

She's climbed

to the same position as you.

I advise you to take action first.

[Philip Studio]

I like this one.

Me too.

This is a well-proportioned wine

blended from Merlot, Cabernet Franc,

and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Its maturation time

should be more than 20 months.

It offers rich fruit flavors

supported by fine-grained tannins.

Most people would like it.

You're right.

But it's not good enough.

To be the new wine of a Master of Wine,

it needs something

that makes it stand out.

You're going to release a new wine so soon?

I want you to join me.

What do you say?

I'm your Master after all.

Since you started working at Anda Hotel,

you've come to my studio less often.

You're such an ingrate.

I shouldn't have wasted my time on you.

I'm giving you a chance to repay my kindness.

Will you join me?

Well, I...

How have you been?

Great.

I heard you got promoted.

You've heard about that?

It seems that Xu Mingchen and Xu Qingran treat you well.

Are you even busier now?

You can barely come here in the future, right?

I'll make time.

I'll think about your offer.

I'll wait for your reply.

Okay, Master.

[Anda Hotel]

As you all know,

we will soon launch

the annual purchase

of imported wines.

Compared to the past,

the biggest difference this year

is that we'll buy more domestic wines

to keep up with the new trends.

Domestic wines have been developing rapidly these years.

They've started to gain ground.

We should talk with potential suppliers as soon as possible

to form long-term cooperation.

This means a lot

to our hotel strategically.

We must take it seriously.

As usual, Director Bai

will be in charge of the purchase.

Everything will remain the same

except for a new procedure

of comparing and choosing

domestic wine suppliers.

Got it.

We all know that Lu Fenfen is also

the director of the Executive Lounge now.

I've discussed it with Secretary An.

We decided

to let Director Bai and Director Lu

take charge of this year's purchase together.

Director Bai will purchase imported wines.

Nothing new about this part.

Director Lu will purchase domestic wines.

Director Bai can share your experience

with Director Lu.

That's it.

Any objections?

Lu Fenfen has never purchased wines before.

I don't think she's qualified enough

for such an important task.

She's a director like you.

She can't just sit around and do nothing.

Director Lu,

Secretary An believes that you can pull it off.

Don't let him down.

Secretary An is biased in favor of her.

That's why we need to plan ahead.

Director Bai,

as you said, Lu Fenfen

has no purchase experience at all.

Can she successfully

finish this important task?

I'm home.

You live with him?

You're moving so fast.

Thank you, Master.

About the new wine,

how long do you need to consider my offer?

I don't know.

I'll release a series of wines this time.

And you will be responsible for one of them.

Really? I'll be in charge?

You can also name it.

I can name it whatever I want?

Yeah.

Okay. I'll reply to you as soon as possible.

Master.

It's getting late.

Go back now.

Good night.

I'll watch you go in.

You're home.

You're back.

Phillip sent me back.

I saw him.

Are you jealous?

Phillip is your brother.

I know that,

but he...

I like you the most.

What are you worried about?

It's so late. Of course I'm worried.

Sorry.

I've been too busy at work recently

and didn't spend much time with you.

You're the best.

You know you're my favorite person in the world.

Besides, Phillip is my Master.

He's just like my brother.

What?

I take Phillip as my brother.

I'm your boyfriend.

It naturally makes him your brother.

You smiled.

It means you're not angry anymore.

Let me tell you something.

Philip offered me a chance

to make my own wine today.

That's great.

This is the dream of every Master of Wine.

But I haven't decided yet.

I have so much on my plate recently.

You want me

to lighten your load?

No.

I'm thinking about what to do.

I need to attend the business at the winery first

and then do my job as the director.

After all that, I can work on my wine.

I'm glad you know the priorities.

Of course I know.

I'm just so excited.

You know me.

I've always wanted to make my own wine.

It'll be cheap and high-quality.

You know what?

As the saying goes,

you can't have your cake and eat it.

I understand.

But those high-end wines are too expensive.

Normal people can't afford them.

I'll make a wine

that everyone can afford.

You don't believe me?

I know wine is not just a kind of drink

for people like you.

It's also a symbol of status.

That's why you prefer luxurious wines.

I told you this before.

My father started from scratch.

He wanted to make cheap wines too.

Really?

You never talked about

your father before.

I miss him.

That accident back then

changed both my and Tianran's lives.

♫Stars are clouds' messages in bottles♫

Don't be sad.

♫They drift in the twinkling night sky♫

Sorry.

Fenfen, you won't understand

♫Deer wander in the magical forest♫

what you mean to me.

♫They gather shiny dews♫

After my father died,

♫And the flying fireflies♫

I became a completely different person.

I must be strong.

♫I'm so lucky to be so happy♫

I have to lead the group

and become someone my sister can rely on.

Sometimes I feel

♫We chat in each other's arms♫

that I'm trying to be something I'm not.

Then I met you.

♫Watching the fireworks illuminating the roof♫

You made my life shine.

You also lighted up my life.

♫Your fingertips melt♫

♫In my warm palm♫

♫Love is beautiful because of you♫

♫We're 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♫

May I?

♫I will keep this promise♫

♫I'll forever hold your hand♫

Are you awake?

I heard that you're going to release a new wine.

It's not worth mentioning.

How did you know about it?

Given your status in the industry,

your every move draws attention.

Why are you interested?

I want to collaborate with you.

But I already have a partner.

Who is it?

Lu Fenfen.

Fine.

But you can have more than one partner.

Lu Fenfen can be in charge

of the production of wine.

I know very well

about the wine industrial chain.

I can even invest in you.

Nana, why?

What do you mean?

You don't like wine at all.

Wine is just a beverage

that you drink now and then.

Most importantly,

Xu Mingchen doesn't care about you at all.

As long as I keep trying,

Mingchen will love me one day.

You can't make someone love you.

I can!

What about you?

Why do you think so highly of Lu Fenfen?

Just because she's talented?

Why are you

smitten with her too?

What's so good about her?

Why have you all changed after I came back?

I know.

You've wanted whatever Mincheng has

since you were little.

Phillip, you poor thing.

Ding Nana.

No hard feelings.

I was just kidding.

You and Fenfen are different.

Fenfen is talented.

She has the perfect sense of taste.

Her name will be known by more and more people.

She's also true to herself.

She's just a blade of grass now,

but she's resilient and never gives up.

What about me?

You.

You're a delicate flower in the greenhouse.

As usual, the purchase banquet

will be held

in mid-August.

[Purpose of the banquet]

We won't make big changes in the procedure.

[Xu Mingchen]

[Delivered]

Suppliers and other guests coming to the banquet

will still be those on the list last year.

[When did you take this photo? It's so suggestive.]

[Xu Mingchen]

[Xu Mingchen: When did you take this photo? It's so suggestive.]

Samples from those two suppliers

have arrived.

So soon?

Okay.

Let's go.

Mr. Xu.

Is there a problem?

No. I think it's great.

They're all here.

Besides these two suppliers,

I've asked for samples from another three brands.

OK. Although we're just doing sampling,

we'd better

check every bottle later.

Okay.

Fenfen,

You're so meticulous about it.

Director Bai

never checked every bottle.

It's something our customers will drink.

I can't be too careful.

I forgot to tell you this.

The supplier who would sell us their wine

at rock bottom price

offered to give us another discount.

They are willing to offer an even lower price?

Their boss said he wanted

to have a longstanding partnership with us.

By the way,

they used to be the supplier

of supermarkets in the city.

Their boss knows Daxiong.

Really?

He said Daxiong helped them a lot.

OK. We'll order wine from them.

Okay.

I'll report to Director Bai and Mr. Xu.

Where is my phone?

[Xu Mingchen]

Welcome home.

Have a seat.

I made steak.

I brought you a bottle of good wine.

What's the brand?

I've never seen it before.

Well,

it's the wine from a new supplier.

It's very cost-effective.

You should thank me

for saving a lot of money for the hotel.

A good price is very important, but that's not

the only standard in choosing suppliers.

I know.

I checked every bottle

of the sample wine they sent us.

I didn't find any problem.

They once provided wines

to the supermarket I worked in before.

They're trustworthy.

Why didn't you buy wines from our old suppliers?

Because this wine has better value for money.

What's wrong?

You don't agree with what I said?

When big companies make purchases,

they usually choose

the brands with the highest market share

or the brands that they've been working with for a long time.

These brands neither offer the lowest price

nor the best products.

Do you know why?

No.

Because if anything goes wrong with the products,

the one in charge of the purchase won't be held accountable.

That's why big companies

waste lots of money every year.

You'll be weeded out by the market one day.

Someone like me can help you

reform the old way of doing things.

Your intention is good.

I just don't want anything to happen to you.

Try it.

How is it?

Do you trust my judgment now?

By the way,

when did you take that photo?

I took it this morning.

Isn't it great?

Not at all.

Too suggestive.

Has anyone else seen it?

I didn't show it to anyone but you.

I didn't even show it to Qiao Yi.

You thought of showing it to Qiao Yi?

Photos like that should be kept secret.

Don't show it to anyone.

Don't worry. I'll keep our photos to myself.

Not our photos.

Only suggestive ones.

OK. I see.

[Anda Hotel]

The wine purchase this year ended successfully.

Thank you all for your hard work.

I'd like to especially thank Lu Fenfen,

the new director.

It was her first time in charge of wine purchase,

but she did a great job.

Not only did she save money for the hotel,

but also break our sales records.

Look at her smug face.

We're going to throw a celebration party for Director Lu.

Everyone should come.

These are just the complaints from last week.

There will be more after this week.

[Complaint Letter]

Good. Very good.

Let's wait a little longer.

Since it's a surprise,

let's make it a big one.

Director Lu.

What's wrong?

We've been receiving complaints

about the wine you purchased since a week ago.

We have reported the situation

to the Executive Lounge.

Why haven't you given us any feedback?

Now the complainers

have gathered downstairs.

How's that possible?

What's wrong with the wine?

What did you say?

I was in charge of the purchase alone in the past.

Lu Fenfen was assigned to buy domestic wines this year.

She chose a supplier we've never worked with.

That's what caused the problem.

Luckily, there are not many customers involved.

We can get it under control.

But several customers are hospitalized.

The press is latching onto it.

Other victims have gathered downstairs.

Do you want to make an appearance?

It's such a big hotel

but no one responds to our complaints?

Yeah. No one cares?

Someone should do something.

Everyone.

Ms. Xu.

Ms. Xu, we bought 4,000 bottles of that wine.

They've all become trash now.

I want compensation.

Ms. Xu,

many customers

have been hospitalized after drinking your wine.

Will the hotel take responsibility for them?

Do you have a specific compensation plan?

It's unbelievable that such a big hotel sells fake wine.

It's so unscrupulous.

The fake wine incident

stained the reputation of Anda Hotel and Xu's Group

which we worked for more than a decade to build.

I sincerely apologize to you

on behalf of everyone in the hotel.

We're so sorry.

Apologies aren't enough.

-Right? -Yes.

-Yeah. -Yes.

Don't worry.

Anda is a responsible hotel.

We always put consumers' interests

and food safety first.

We'll form an investigation team right away.

Besides, count the victims now.

Those who got ill due to the fake wine

will be compensated first.

Okay, I'll attend to it right away.

Also…

That's more like it.

Call back all the fake wine we sold

to minimize retailers' losses.

Okay.

Rest assured.

We'll take care of this matter.

That's what I expected.

That sounds good.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, everyone.

I caused trouble for the Group.

I should be the one apologizing.

I'm sorry.

I caused trouble for the Group.

I shouldn't have trusted you.

I really can't tell

whether it's just an accident

or you did it deliberately

to ruin the Group's reputation.

I promoted you.

I wish I'd never done that.

Mr. Xu, don't say that.

It's my fault.

I let you down.

Mr. Xu, I've checked with Director Lu

all the samples the supplier sent us.

The samples were perfectly fine.

The wine delivered later must have been swapped.

David is right.

We checked the sample wine

bottle by bottle.

We didn't miss any problem.

We must have missed some important clue.

Mr. Xu.

What's the point of saying that now?

I'll investigate what you said.

Everyone, buck up and get things under control.

We don't want to hit headlines again.

Yes.

Ms. Xu,

Director Lu…

Lu Fenfen will be suspended for investigation.

No decisions will be made before the truth is out.

[Shocker! Anda Hotel sold fake wine. Several consumers are hospitalized.]

Why are you still here?

Waiting to get off work?

Things are not clear yet.

You can't ask me to leave.

Ms. Xu suspended you in front of so many people.

I feel so embarrassed for you.

Pack up and leave.

I need to lock the door.

I'll leave when I want. Mind your own business.

Okay. I'll lock the door in half an hour.

If you're still here,

I'll call security.
