[The Girl Who Sees Smells]

[Episode 18]

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This way.

Are you feeling better?

Sorry, Master.

I was too emotional just now.

I do dream of becoming a Master of Wine,

but definitely not through this method.

We are all tired today.

Let's talk about it another time.

I'm grateful to you

for teaching me and supporting me.

But I may not be qualified

to be your student.

What do you mean?

After thinking about it,

I don't think I should stay here anymore.

Don't rush into decisions.

I have something to tell you.

Let's at least have dinner together.

I ordered them for you.

Be my guest.

Actually, I want to tell you

that I've fallen in love with you.

Master.

You don't have to say that to make me stay.

I'm serious.

I just want to resign.

He made it look like a breakup.

What's going on?

Xia.

Where's Fenfen?

She's having dinner with Philip.

Dinner? Where are they?

Upstairs, I think.

I love you.

I can give you everything you want.

Whatever Xu Mingchen promised you,

I can promise you too.

Master, you know me.

Those things never appeal to me.

What attracted me to Mingchen

has never changed.

What is it?

If I had nothing to do

with the Xu family

and were just an ordinary salesgirl,

would you still love me?

Do you love me for me

or just because I'm Xu Mingchen's girlfriend?

I love you for you.

Have you ever thought

that you love me

just because I'm the one Mingchen loves?

You released your new wine.

I haven't congratulated you yet.

You're fast.

Are you afraid that I'll steal her away?

I don't think you can do that.

Let's go.

Fenfen.

You haven't told me

what you think of what I said.

Don't force her to do anything.

Have you taken Fenfen as a toy?

A toy?

Only a bossy man like you would call her that.

Have you ever asked her opinion?

Enough.

Am I a trophy or what?

Now that you're here,

let's have a face-off.

No problem.

As usual, we'll play basketball.

No matter who wins in the end,

we have to respect Fenfen's choice.

Do you two have to be so childish?

I want to raise the stakes.

The winner gets to kiss Fenfen.

What did you say?

I said the winner gets to kiss Fenfen.

Where are your good manners, Mr. Perfect?

I pissed you off?

You've never changed.

You clutch everything you want

in your hands.

Basketball game at first

and then Lu Fenfen.

Can't you think

before you talk?

Stop arguing.

Master, I've made up my mind

to resign.

Anyway, thank you for your appreciation.

Is it worth it to dwell on

what happened when we were little?

Tianran, the score is 8 to 8 now.

The ball is in my hands.

I'll beat you with one more shot.

Your plane model will be mine.

Yes. It's worth it.

If it still makes you feel so bad,

I apologize to you.

But you have to figure out

what is truly bothering you.

Lu Fenfen is my girlfriend.

She's not an item we fight for.

I won't let you belittle her like that.

Let's go.

Master, I've always admired you.

I think you are really interesting.

You're cool and amazing.

As your student,

I admire you very much.

As my student?

You're turning me down, right?

I mean my words.

I hope you can let go of the past.

In my heart,

you're a superhero.

He shouldn't be held back by these things.

Fenfen.

Sorry.

You're the only one who's worth my love.

You're an adult. You shouldn't have hit him.

Don't you think you two were too childish?

He started it.

But he's my Master after all.

Why does he get jealous so easily?

Listen carefully.

You're mine.

Come with me.

I got something for you.

This wine didn't get released

and can't be enjoyed by more people.

It's a great pity for me,

but here is the thing.

To me,

it tastes bitter and then sweet.

The sweet taste lasts.

Just like our relationship.

So I named it "Kiss".

Do you understand, Mr. Kiss?

Yeah, Miss Kiss.

There's one more thing I want to tell you.

I've decided to quit my job at Philip Studio.

Why?

Because of me?

Just partially.

It's mainly because I feel frustrated.

Think twice.

You may be giving up a great opportunity.

No.

I only need you.

And I seem to have figured out

what kind of wine I'm going to make.

I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

What about me attracted you?

What?

What did you say to Philip?

How much did you hear?

Tell me.

If you don't tell me…

I surrender.

It's you.

Just you.

You as a person attracted me.

Happy now?

Master, this is my resignation.

[Resignation]

I knew you were coming,

but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

Sorry, Master.

I think this is the best choice.

I wish you all the best.

Master. Master.

Our wines were suddenly pulled from shelves.

Why?

The owner of the winery said the Chairwoman

of Xu's Group suddenly acquired their investors.

So...

Master.

Xu Qingran, how dare you mess with me!

Watch your tone.

Are you playing dumb with me?

You bought the shares of my new wine

and terminated my contract.

Tell me what's in it for you.

Why do you enjoy picking on me so much?

Here's my advice.

Don't think too highly of yourself.

Besides, you said I picked on you.

Have you not done the same to me and Mingchen?

Do you really like Lu Fenfen

or are you using her to provoke me and Mingchen?

Anyway,

I want nothing to do with you.

You'd better leave us alone

and mind your own business.

Stop being a nuisance in my life.

So in your eyes,

no matter how hard I try,

I don't deserve to have what Xu Mingchen has, right?

Save your self-pity.

What do you want?

I remember everything

that has happened over these years.

So do I.

Good. I'm glad you didn't forget.

You saved Xu Mingchen in that accident

and left me alone in the car to die.

What are you talking about?

When you saved him,

did you forget that I was in the car too?

The petrol tank was leaking.

The car could explode any second.

Did you hate me so much that you wanted me dead?

Qingran, help me.

Come, Mingchen.

I got you.

Hold on, Mingchen. I'll get you out.

Qingran.

Qingran.

Mingchen. He's bleeding.

-Can't you stop it? -The doctor will be here soon.

Did I pick on you?

Yes, I did.

I've come around.

You'll never care for me

as you do for Xu Mingchen.

All I have is useless jealousy.

When necessary,

you'll let me die for him, won't you?

Shut up, Xu Tianran!

I'm not Xu Tianran! I'm Phillip.

And you, Xu Qingran.

In my eyes,

you are a pitiful woman who lost herself.

I won't give up the new wine for you.

Neither will I give up Lu Fenfen for Xu Mingchen.

Good. Great.

Since you've accepted the fact

that I love Mingchen more than you,

why are here yelling at me?

You are Philip,

not Xu Tianran.

That means you can't barge in like this.

Get lost! Now!

I'm here to tell you

that one day,

I'll make you regret everything you've done.

Listen.

Mingchen is far better than you.

He's not as rebellious as you.

He's much more considerate than you.

In a word, you're not in his league.

As for the accident,

believe whatever you want.

I don't care.

Wait. We need to talk.

About what?

Lu Fenfen? Or my new wine?

You are wrong about the car accident.

Enough. I'm done with that.

Qingran.

In the car accident,

he thought I left him to die.

That's what he has been believing

for all these years.

Qingran, Tianran misunderstood you.

Don't be so angry.

That's how he thinks of me.

That matter is already behind us.

You should let it go.

I'll talk to him.

I'll explain things to him.

Don't be angry.

[Anda Hotel]

Dad, Mom,

what should I do

to make things the way they were?

Qiao Yi, I'm a little nervous.

Why?

I've never made a pitch to an investor before.

It's okay.

You did well when you practiced with me last night.

You sold wines in a live stream.

You're not totally inexperienced.

You can make it.

Okay.

Getting him

to invest in Kiss

is half the battle, right?

Yes.

OK.

Who is this big shot?

You'll know later.

Okay.

Here.

He Le? What are you doing here?

I have told him that you plan to

start your own business.

He's very interested.

Am I right?

Yes.

I don't know much about wine,

but I'm very interested in this project.

Come. Let's sit down and talk.

You have a good project

that can make one buck ten.

I feel so honored

that Miss Qiao is willing to cut me in.

I'll do anything I can to help.

Stop. Save the preliminaries.

Tell us what you can do.

You'll need someone for public relations

and to interact with clients.

I can do that.

Miss Lu,

we need a well-connected partner like him.

OK. You make the decision.

But

only the three of us are not enough.

We need money.

The savings you and I have

are far from enough

to support our ambition.

You heard her.

When will the investor arrive?

You're not the investor?

You two…

Speaking of the devil.

Let me introduce

the investor I found for you.

Xu Mingchen, the CEO and director of Xu's Group.

He's looking for profitable projects now.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Xu.

What? I'm not welcome here?

This is cheating.

Here's the thing, Miss Lu.

He Le.

Mr. He.

Mr. He told me

that your project needs investment.

After learning about it,

I found the project quite good.

Of course, if you don't want my money,

I'll respect your decision.

I...

We do want your money, don't we?

Yeah. You can't buy everything with money,

but you can't buy anything without money.

Even the best project needs money to get started.

Besides, to make talent like me stay,

you need money too.

Right, Fenfen?

Yes. How much will you invest in us?

Name your price.

We've made an estimate…

No matter how much you need,

I'll cover 70% of it.

Very good.

Very good.

You made it.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

[Business License]

[Kiss Me]

[Kiss Me]

How is it?

Not bad. The environment is good.

The employees will work here.

Come with me.

This is a wine bar.

That's the most important thing here.

Kiss Me.

[Kiss Me]

It's your idea?

Let me show you the office.

This way.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I just showed Mr. Xu around the company.

Sit here.

Let's get down to business.

[Introduction of Kiss Wine]

This is a Rosé

targeted at young women.

It has a rich fruit fragrance

and tastes sweet.

Sweet. I like that.

Me too.

Just like love,

it's bitter sometimes,

but kiss is always sweet.

It has another advantage.

It can fit any occasion.

Whether you go on a date in a French restaurant

with your boyfriend

or have skewers on the street,

it can always be your go-to wine.

You can drink it on any occasion.

OK. Now that

the wine is ready to be released,

we need to focus on the promotion.

Even the best wine needs advertising.

You're right.

I forgot to introduce her to you.

Qiao Yi, the Director of Operations.

She'll be in charge of the promotion.

Great.

In general,

we need a secret weapon

to publicize our brand concept

so that our clients can remember us better.

And this secret weapon is...

You've all watched our live stream, right?

Mr. Xu was with us too.

It worked pretty well.

So you plan to promote the wine

in live streams?

Not just promote, we'll sell in live streams too.

It's low cost and high yield.

Sorry to interrupt,

but who's going to be the host?

We already have a choice.

Pear,

you look prettier than in the photos.

You look so young.

Just the magic of plastic surgery.

Really? I can't tell.

Your face looks natural.

Pear, you don't have to be so strict with yourself.

This is the contract we agreed on.

[Cooperation Agreement]

Is your boss Lu Fenfen?

She's really something.

When she worked in Anda,

I helped her get her only promotion.

Yeah. She mentioned it to me.

It's good to collaborate with an old friend.

Will you sign it now?

No problem.

I forgot

to let our lawyer go through it.

It's the company's rule. The lawyer has to read it before I sign.

Well...

Don't worry.

I'll send him the digital version after I go back to the studio.

It won't take him long to check it.

Okay.

Pear, I'll take my leave.

Hello? Hello?

One, two, three. One.

Qiao Yi.

Where is Pear in Wine?

She'll be here soon.

I've sent her the time and place.

It unnerves me

that she hasn't signed the contract.

Maybe you're worrying too much.

She looks

unreliable,

but she is a nice person.

Besides, isn't she an acquaintance of yours?

I'll go check it out.

[Pear in Wine: First live stream with a Master of Wine's wines. I'm so nervous. Do you like this me?]

Look.

Philip released three wines this time.

I personally recommend

this rosé.

Philip speaks highly of it too.

It's specially designed

for young women like me.

No wonder she wouldn't sign the contract.

It turns out that Philip reached out to her too

and we were just her plan B.

It's strange.

Why did Philip release a rosé too?

It's also targeted at young women.

That's our wine's selling point.

It's a long story.

I designed that wine too.

The two wines are similar.

Bitch.

I swear on my life

that I'll make her pay.

Where are you going?

I'll go get even with her.

She didn't sign the contract.

What are you going to say?

She owes us nothing.

Calm down.

I know I'm not helping,

but the live stream is about to start.

If we stand the fans up,

the loss will be even greater.

He Le is right.

Yijiang,

what's your opinion on what Pear in Wine did?

I found two things strange.

First,

Phillip is against live streaming.

It's not like him to contact an influencer.

Maybe he was impressed

by Fenfen's live stream

and changed his attitude toward it.

You have a point.

It makes sense given that

everyone in your family has business acumen.

There's another confusing thing.

After Qingran acquired his brand,

all his wines were pulled from shelves.

How can he sell them again now?

So much trouble at the very beginning.

Why don't you call to check on Fenfen?

The business world is a cruel battlefield.

She should get used to it as soon as possible.

Hey, girls. Nice to meet you.

Do you remember me?

Today I'm going to introduce to you

a delicious

and amazing wine, Kiss rosé.

You look a bit scary

when you're so focused.

You look like you want to eat someone alive.

You don't have to look at me.

But I like looking at you.

What are you busy with? Show me.

No need to keep it from me.

Is it the data of the live stream?

Fenfen didn't say anything.

You shouldn't be bothered either.

I wouldn't feel so bad

if she had said something.

I came up with the idea.

I invited Pear in Wine.

But look at how it ended.

I let Fenfen down.

My goodness, the numbers are good.

You should be satisfied.

Are you blind?

It's her sales.

Mine is here.

It's ten times less. I should be satisfied?

You're really bad at flattery.

I'm not flattering you.

You read the data in the wrong way.

Look.

Pear in Wine has 8 million fans.

Including paid posters, she has over 10 million followers.

But the number of people watching her live stream

is less than two million.

Less than 20% of her total followers.

Our account was created not long ago.

We only have thousands of followers,

but you got over 300 thousand

viewers at the peak.

This is dozens of times the number of our followers.

Then check out this.

Her curve is downward.

She had the most viewers at the beginning.

And less than half of them stayed till the end.

Look, our curve

keeps rising.

Your viewers were obviously

more active than hers.

Then let's look at the sales number.

You didn't sell as many bottles

as Pear in Wine did,

but it's your first time selling in a live stream.

It's your first time selling in a live stream,

but you got more than 50 thousand deals.

To tell you the truth,

given your ability,

it won't take long for you to surpass Pear in Wine.

You're good at praising people.

This is my thing.

I'm good at analyzing data.

I always thought

you were a pervert obsessed with dolls.

That's not me. You're prejudiced against me.

How about drinking a toast to prejudice?

Good idea.

You like me, don't you?

Have I…have I

not made it obvious enough?

I thought you were a playboy.

I expected you to smile shyly

and said, no, Qiao Yi, I don't.

I'm not a naive schoolboy.

This is such a good opportunity.

I-I'd be a fool if I let it go.

But...

Let me ask you.

We've spent so much time together.

What do you think of me?

First, he needs to be good-looking.

He must have eight packs.

He needs to be well-educated

and have a nice voice.

As for money,

he doesn't need to be rich.

I can support him.

Are you wasted?

You got drunk so quickly.

I'm not drunk!

I'm perfectly somber.

I drink like fish.

Waiter, more wine.

Let me open it for you.

Come on, Le. Drink.

Come on.

Bottoms up!

I don't drink beer.

Beer is too bland.

I usually drink

whiskey or other spirits.

Something strong.

Something with a lot of kick.

Is this one strong enough?

Royal Salute?

Do you want breakfast?

I usually skip breakfast.

Breakfast is very important.

It preps you for the coming day.

I see.

Okay.

What do you want to eat?

E-Egg.

Why didn't she scream?

Women in TV dramas scream in such a situation.

Didn't we have sex last night?
