-What's wrong?
-It's strange.

Come here.

Hello, can I help you?

Sir.

Your food…

I'm sorry, is it not to your taste?

Why don't I have the kitchen
make you something else?

Did you get a new chef?

Yes, we just got a new chef recently.

The chef is still new here

and doesn't know
what the regulars like yet.

Sir, you've misunderstood.

I mean to say

this is the best chicken lettuce wrap

that I've ever had.

Is that so?

That's good.

It's delicious.

It seems different now.

There's an extra flavor to it.

Can you tell what it is?

I don't know yet.

Sir?

Can I see the new chef for a moment?

No problem. Just a second.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

Look at this.

Yes, it seems like…

Okay.

Hello.

-Hello.
-Hello, sir and ma'am.

Why did you want to see me?

You're the new chef, right?

I'm only temporarily helping out.

The thing is,

I've been ordering this dish for years.

But this time, it tasted the best.

It's as if there is a special flavor.

I can't put my finger on it.

Can you tell us what you did?

The thing is,

this chicken lettuce wrap

is a classic Western dish.

Most chefs follow
the traditional cooking methods.

Crisp lettuce combined
with a tender chicken fillet

is refreshing,

but I think it's missing

a lingering aftertaste.

So while cooking the chicken,

I enhanced the flavor
by adding ingredients unique to China

such as star anise,
cinnamon, and lemongrass.

That is what you taste.

See? I told you.

She combined Chinese and Western cuisines

to create her own unique flavor.

Amazing. You're so awesome.

Thank you.

Sir, where did you find such a good chef?

You hit the jackpot.

Thank you.

As a thank you
for being our loyal customers,

please enjoy this dessert on the house.

-This…
-That's nice.

I designed and improved this myself.

It's called "Beautiful Mango Pudding."

After you try it,

we would love to hear what you think.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-We'll try it. Thank you.
-Enjoy.

Thank you, sir.

-Here, try one.
-That's nice.

What do you think?

Ziyan.

Didn't you say

you want to improve the bar menu?

I think you can give it a try.

Yes, I think the items

on the bar menu

could use an update.

And it lacks charm.

I told the head chef.

He said he'll discuss it with you first.

How's this?

Just tell Mr. Qin

that I approved.

Really?

That's great.

I told him

our theme can be
foods all around the globe.

We'll take well-known classic dishes
from the five continents

and incorporate them
into our current menu.

It'll give our regulars
a fresh experience.

Sir, please give me some time.

I'll make sure I get the job done.

Go ahead and go for it.

I believe in you.

Thank you, sir.

Come to the bar and be my taste tester.

Now?

I can't.

I'm busy today.

Maybe in the evening.

We're busy at night.

I won't have time for you.

It's okay.

It's just a tasting.

Don't mind me.

Your outfit is beautiful today.

It's perfect for today's event.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

At the tea tasting today,

there will be two R&D directors
from technology companies.

I'll introduce you later.

We might work together in the future.

This is also a test to see
if you've done your homework.

Okay.

Mr. Xu.

Can I come in for the tea tasting today?

Find a mall nearby later

and park there.

Have some coffee.

We'll be done soon.

Ruoxin,

I just want to gain some experience

so I won't embarrass you in the future.

This is a rare opportunity
for me to learn from Mr. Xu.

I promise to behave.

Sure.

It's okay.

It's good to be curious.

Watch and observe.

It'll help you in the future.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

GUANGFULIN, DARK FERRY

Mr. Xu.

-Hello, Michelle.
-Hello.

-You're still so pretty.
-Thank you.

Hello, ladies. I'm Xu Minjie.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Hello, Mr. Xu.
-I'm Xu Minjie.

Let me introduce you.

This is our company's amazing Shen Ruoxin.

-Hello.
-He is Qi Xiao.

-Hello.
-Ms. Shen.

Your outfit is really elegant.

Isn't that the Spanish brand Pronovias?

It looks like quality fabric.

I don't think so.

With such a droopy hem,

I think it's the French brand Cymbeline.

I don't think Cymbeline could
design something like this.

Let's ask Ms. Shen.

Which brand is it?

It was handmade by a designer.

It's not a major brand name.

So it's custom-made.

No wonder Mr. Xu
strongly recommended Ms. Shen.

You have great taste.

This outfit must be expensive.

Michelle.

I'll let you all talk. Excuse us.

-Okay.
-Okay.

I'll leave you to it.

-Mr. Xu.
-Mr. Wang and Mr. Li.

-It's been a while.
-Mr. Xu.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

This is Ms. Shen
from our New Energy Department.

In our department,

-Ms. Shen is in charge of
-Hello.

liaising with other departments.

It's not an easy job.

Ms. Shen does an amazing job.

I brought her today
so you can get to know her.

Any collaborations in the future

can be made smoother
with Ms. Shen as a liaison.

Ruoxin.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Li are
the best in technology R&D

in this industry.

Mr. Xu.

Are all your salespeople this pretty?

Thank you for your kind words.

New energy is our company's future.

Our current vehicles
require specialized charging stations,

but we're continuing to develop

the F3DM solar cell,

a dual-mode charger for home use.

You two are elites.

I hope we'll get
a chance to work together.

-Sure.
-Very well.

Our company's skills speak for themselves.

The art of tea is
about harmony with nature.

It is the highest level of tea tasting.

For this tea tasting,

we will be sampling

oolong tea from Dayuling, Taiwan,

cattail tea from Miyi County, Yunnan,

silver-tip green tea from Bangladesh,

Heavenly Lake floral tea from Xinjiang,

and Mansong pu'er tea from Xishuangbanna.

There are five teacups
in front of each of you.

A porcelain teacup for oolong tea.

A zisha teacup
with white glaze for black tea.

A glass teacup for green tea.

A blue and white porcelain teacup
with a lid for floral tea.

A Jianshui clay teacup for pu'er tea.

For this tea tasting,

we specially hired
a zisha master ceramicist

to create five famous zisha teapots.

They are the Windblown Sunflower,
Fish Transformed into Dragon,

Raised Jade,
Stone Teapot, and Plum Blossom.

Ruoxin.

-Five famous teapots
-Why can't we drink it yet?

-for five top-quality teas.
-Isn't this a tea tasting?

It's called tea culture.

Be quiet if you don't know.

Drinking tea doesn't need
to be this complicated.

I'm dying of thirst.

Just wait.

I think we can drink it soon.

I'm going to drink my fill.

One cup to taste.

Two cups for the thirsty fool.

Three cups for the cows and mules.

What do you mean?

-Are you calling me a cow?
-Yes.

Hello. What would you two like to order?

One grilled jumbo shrimp, please.

Honey.

We're trying to conceive.
Don't eat seafood.

It can be cooling for the uterus.

A glass of Calpis soju, please.

You can't.

You must not drink that alcohol.

It has way too much sugar.

It can disrupt your glucose metabolism.

What about beef tartare?

That's even worse.

Listen, you are forbidden
from eating raw food.

It can mess up your digestive system.

I can't eat this or that.

What exactly can I eat?

-We need some more time.
-Okay.

Honey, I don't know what you can eat,

but drinks with caffeine and alcohol

are off-limits.

No pickled foods either.

Those can cause premature birth.

No canned foods either.

Those contain too many preservatives
and artificial coloring.

It's bad for your health.

No spinach either.

It affects the absorption
of calcium and zinc.

No watermelon either.

It's cold in nature too.
It can be cooling for the uterus.

Let's see. What else?

Honey,

did you memorize all of this?

That's right.

I bought some books on pregnancy recently.

I think

we need to do everything the books say.

This is so that

we'll have a healthy and smart baby.

Let's try our best.

Honey,

if by some chance

I get a job,

then I can't have a baby.

We'll see about that.

Do you think I can't?

Ziyan,

you haven't had a job for a long time.

Even if you find a job,

you'll be competing with young kids

for entry-level jobs.

I don't think that's necessary.

Besides, at our age,

starting over is too hard.

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Work.

It represents my social worth.

It doesn't discriminate.

That's true.

But if you are willing
to be bossed around,

then that's not the Song Ziyan I know.

You're replaceable in the workforce.

But in our family,

you are the lady of the house

and a future mom.

The one and only.

You can't give up on this

for a job in which you could
be replaced at any time.

Now, I would like you all
to smell and taste the tea.

Ruoxin,

what was that about top-quality, aged,

or whatever tea?

Why is my mom's jasmine tea more fragrant?

Be careful with your cup.

If you break it,

it'll cost more than three months
of your wages.

Is it that expensive?

It's no different from the ones sold
on the street outside the City God Temple.

It's true.

I passed by the other day.

It's 3 for 25 yuan.

Here it comes.

Look carefully.

This is cheese salad
with eggplant and pear,

lobster balls with black truffle,

and fruity smoked squab.

Try it. They're still steaming hot.

It smells so good.

Let me try it.

There's more.

It's delicious.

This is called "tea-smoked ribs."

I added floral tea unique to China

to Western smoked ribs

and smoked them together,

infusing the ribs
with the fragrant aroma of the tea.

What's this?

Mackerel pike gratin.

I took saury from Japanese cuisine,

celery and dried tofu
from Chinese cuisine,

and French-style baked meatballs,
and combined them all.

Try it.

Song Ziyan, you are amazing.

Can you tell me

how you came up with so many dishes?

I was paying attention
when I traveled the world a few years ago.

I collected recipes
of specialty dishes from all over.

It's a pity that Zou Cheng
doesn't care much about food.

I work so hard to cook for him,

but in the end,

he doesn't appreciate it.

You finally have a place
to show off your talent.

Does Zou Cheng know that you got a job?

No.

I didn't tell him.

I don't think he wants me to get a job.

If I tell him that I got a job,

he won't be happy for me.

He might even complain.

Do you know, Ruoxin?

Zou Cheng's enthusiasm
and insistence on having children

are getting ridiculous.

Then he probably doesn't know

you don't intend to have kids.

To prepare to conceive,

he has quit smoking and drinking.

He runs every day
and takes various supplements.

He forbids me from eating certain foods
and strictly follows the doctor's advice.

Do you know what's worse?

He even bought a lot of parenting books.

Last time, I blurted out

that he didn't make any sacrifices
or prepare for having children.

Now, great.

He's doing so much.

If I tell him I don't want kids,

we'll definitely fight.

I don't want to fight.

Quarrels are a normal way
of communication.

You two are married.

You need to let him know
how you really feel.

I can't say it.

What do I say?

Should I tell him I've got a job
helping out in a bar

and don't plan on having kids
so I can make a bit of money?

He'll think I'm crazy.

This isn't about money.

We go through different stages in life.

He feels that you two are
at the stage that is the social standard.

But you still feel you need
to explore a new direction in life.

Your fundamental differences
aren't about money.

Even the issue of having kids
is just the surface.

See? You said it.

At the root,
we have such deep differences in values.

How can we discuss this?

Can he persuade me? Or can I persuade him?

Forget it.
I'll stall for as long as I can.

Avoiding the issue won't solve it.

Says who?

Maybe if I keep stalling,

the doctor will tell me,

"Song Ziyan,
you can't bear children anymore."

That solves everything.

Song Ziyan,

I never noticed you were so self-assured.

I cooked so much delicious food,

but it's not keeping your mouth shut.

Coming.

Mom.

Why did you buy so much?

Don't you know the passcode?

You said I can't just come in unannounced.

It's your private space.

Besides, it's Saturday.

You need to catch up on sleep.

Xinxin.

I came to ask you something.

What are your plans
for your 36th birthday?

Mom, don't just make up a number.

I'm only 34,
still a couple of years away from 36.

A couple of years?

Life passes you by in the blink of an eye.

I don't want to make you angry today.

I'll imitate a kitten.

Dear Xinxin.

For your birthday this year,

I'll come by to make you
a bowl of noodles, okay?

Mom, don't be ridiculous.

It's not a major milestone.
We don't need to celebrate.

Don't you have a class that day?

And there's so much traffic at night.

It'll be a weekday.

I might have to work overtime.

-I don't care.
-What?

You have to work late?

I transferred to a new department.

New Energy Vehicle Department.

I have a new boss.

I've learned a lot
and I'm managing many new things.

I have to work hard.

I might even get promoted next year.

Promotion.

You'll just get busier.

Take care of yourself.

Is the new boss a man or a woman?

A man.

The young chicken I got you today

was freshly slaughtered.

You can steam it up when you are hungry.

You can make soup with it too.

There's no point in telling you this.

Okay, I'll make it for you.

You won't do it yourself anyway.
How do you survive?

You won't let me stop worrying.

Mom, bamboo shoots are in the cabinet.

Who's calling again?

My boss.

Mr. Xu.

Yes.

I'm free.

Okay.

Have you told Qi Xiao?

Okay. See you later.

You're going out?

Yes, the boss said
something urgent came up

and wants us there.

What about the chicken soup I'm making?

You can drink some when you are done.

I'll reheat it later.

I'll get changed.

Ruoxin.

Where is Mr. Xu going today?

He didn't tell me. Do you know?

He didn't give me specifics.

He just said it's a personal business

and asked me to help.

Personal business?

Why is he always asking for you?

That's nonsense.

How can I say no when he's the boss?

But it seems that

today's personal business
isn't a social event.

At least your clothes aren't
out of character.

What do you mean by that?

What's "in character" for me? Tell me.

Your character is

bold, genuine, and mature.

Sophisticated, but not jaded.

The last part is acceptable.

I'll pretend you are sucking up to me.

Who's sucking up?

Am I wrong?

Of course, it's wrong.

Only one thing matters at work.
Just do your job. Remember that.

Okay.

Mr. Xu.

Good morning, Mr. Xu.

Go to this place.

IMMACULATE JADE BLUE BAY

-Okay.
-Good morning.

Good morning.

Mr. Xu, are you looking for a house?

After the new energy car project
is launched,

I might be based in Shanghai.

My current living arrangements

aren't fully to my satisfaction
in a few areas.

Of course,

I'm not saying you did a bad job.

It was no easy feat

for you to find this place.

But it's a rental.

There's nothing like your own house

that is to your satisfaction
in every regard.

So I plan on buying my own house.

Even after the project
settles down in a year or two,

I can keep the house
as an investment and lease it out.

There's one thing
about buying a house though.

You're a local.

You know more about the city than I do.

So I thought

I could use your opinion.

-Do you mind?
-No.

I can even help you negotiate.

Ruoxin.

You haven't driven
our company's new energy car, right?

I'm still driving our traditional car.

I was going to get a new car,
but I haven't had time.

I've been busy with work.

For better sales
and promotion of our products,

it's important for us
to experience it ourselves.

Next week.

I'll put in an application.

I'll get you a new energy car
so you can test it out for a while.

No, it's okay, Mr. Xu.

I've decided to buy it myself.

And I've looked into it.

We get an employee discount.

I can even trade in my current car
when buying a new one.

Most importantly,

I can get a consumer's experience

of the purchasing process in the store.

I can even go for a test-drive.

This will be helpful for future marketing

and sales purposes.

Since you brought it up,
I'll get it done right away.

Okay, as you wish.

Mr. Xu, hello.

We spoke before.

-I'm the property consultant, Xiaoyu.
-Hello.

Ms. Shen.

So you are married?

That's great! So we're all friends.

Let me introduce the place.

Well…

This property and area

are already part of the city's plans.

They're going to build a new landmark.

We'll have three new malls here.

Two are being built right now.

Do you have any children?
That's not a problem.

We have everything
from kindergarten to high school.

The luxury villas nearby are up.

Once you see our pricing,

you'll notice
we're particularly competitive.

Our units have great potential.

Most importantly,
our estate doesn't have small apartments.

All our flats range from 160 m² to 400 m².

Why don't you two have a seat there?

I'll show you some floor plans.

-Thank you.
-All right, Mr. Xu.

Hello? Are you seeing this?

See what?

Do you know where I am?

Where?

Mr. Xu brought Ruoxin to view houses.

He said he wants her opinion.

What do you think he means?

It's no longer just sparks flying.

It's a done deal.

A house in Shanghai?

No woman can resist
that kind of temptation.

No way.

Ruoxin isn't like that.

In this world,

anyone can be tempted
if the price is right.

Qi Xiao, wake up.

A house like this

must cost over 30 million yuan.

It's way out of our league.

The woman who lives in that house

is likewise out of our league.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

Thank you.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Mrs. Xu, let me show you

our four main configurations,

ranging from 3 to 5 bedrooms.

The layouts are very spacious.

-Xiaoyu--
-We also have penthouses.

I can show you the layout for that.

Xiaoyu.

Your client today is

the tenant I had asked you
to find a place for.

He's my boss.

So we're not…

You're not?

I'm just here to take a look.

A misunderstanding.

Mr. Xu, please take a look.

We're currently promoting Model A.

It has a full river view.

The master bedroom,
second bedroom, and balcony

have a 180-degree river view.

We also have Model D.

It's a bit smaller without a balcony.

What do you think?

What do you think of this place?

Houses near the river can get humid.

And during monsoon season,

clothes don't dry quickly.

They stay wet all day.

And in high humidity,

appliances break down easily.

Most importantly,

the river view from here

is marred by the skyscrapers in Lujiazui.

It's okay if you don't like it.

I also have two Victorian houses
in the city center for you.

Victorian houses are indeed

quite grand.

But the layout

is rather dated.

Moreover, that'll require
a lot of renovation.

If we want it as good as new,

we'll pretty much have
to raze it and rebuild it, no?

That's quite expensive.

Old houses

are bound to have ants, termites, or rats.

They're quite troublesome to get rid of.

Most importantly, the issue of parking.

Old houses are surrounded by narrow roads
that are inconvenient for driving.

That makes sense.

No, an old house would still be nice.

-Yes.
-It's nice.

-Xiaoyu. It's Xiaoyu, right?
-Yes.

I'll take these floor plans
and look at them later.

In the meantime,
find more quality listings.

The price is negotiable.

The most important thing is

that they're free of all the flaws

that Ms. Shen just mentioned.

Okay.

Take your time looking.

I'll call my colleague.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-Sure.
-Thank you, Xiaoyu.

Don't mention it.

You rendered the young man speechless.

That's impressive.

I can't believe you have
such a unique perspective on houses.

Mr. Xu,

we need to play
the good cop and bad cop routine.

When we have higher demands,

the agents can't just take us lightly.

Otherwise, they'll try
to give you an average listing.

You want a luxury villa.

Commission from this sale

can last them a whole year.

We definitely need to demand more.

Actually,

in the long run,

I won't be staying in this house

for too long.

If it were you,

would you choose
a large flat with a river view

or an old house in the city center?

Me?

I can't afford such an expensive house.

You don't have to buy it.

Which would you like to live in?

These expensive villas are
for successful people like you.

I'm just an ordinary office worker.

I won't be able to afford it
or get used to it.

I probably can't
even afford the property fee.

I think the small place
I have now is better.

It's more convenient.

And there are families all around.

It's reassuring.

I feel safer.

Look at that.

SUBMISSION SUCCESSFUL

3D ANIMATOR, APPLY

ALIPAY: REPAYMENT REMINDER

Hello?

Yes, I'm Su Yang.

I have a question.

I submitted my draft a week ago.

When will you pay me the balance?

Our chief editor is still
reviewing your last batch.

We'll pay upon approval.

When will that be?

It's hard to say.

We receive so many manuscripts every day.

He has to check each one.

You should at least have an estimate.

I can't rush it either.

Our chief editor is swamped.

Please be patient.

Okay, then.

Thank you for your help today.

Goodbye, Mr. Xu.

Did Mr. Xu take you to see
all the villas in Shanghai today?

More or less. I viewed quite a few.

I should have worn flats.

My feet are sore now.

That feels better.

Ruoxin.

Were you tempted?

What?

The villas.

You viewed so many.
Were you tempted by them?

Please.

What's the point?

Can I afford it?

What if you don't have to pay?

Haven't you heard of this phrase?

"All the gifts you receive in life

have a secret price tag."

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

However,

following around a successful man
like Mr. Xu is eye-opening.

There were a few places
that were stunning and huge.

When I was sitting inside,
I felt like I was wealthy.

"The remaining 20%

will be paid in three business days."

Qi Xiao, take a look at this contract.

Leave me alone.

Hello, Sijia?

Are you free?

I don't know if
there's a problem with this contract.

Of course, there is.

You put in the work.
They didn't explicitly reject it.

So they should pay you.

That's true.

But my classmates said

they often encounter instances
when they don't get paid.

They say it's normal.

Normal?

How is it normal?

Why are you taking the side
of the ones taking advantage of you?

There's a contradiction
in this contract. Look.

Here.

"When the company receives
a file from the contractor,

after confirmation,

the remaining 20% of the balance

shall be paid within three business days."

What's the problem?

We don't know if they confirmed it.

The problem is

what is defined as "confirmation."

Does this mean

payment after confirmation
of the content quality

or confirmation that the contractor
submitted all manuscripts due?

There is no explicit definition,

so this contract is ambiguous.

Do you understand?

You submitted your work a week ago, right?

If your work requires revision,

they would've already told you.

If they didn't,
then there are no problems.

So they should pay you
the remaining balance, right?

But like you said, there's ambiguity.

If they refuse to admit it,

there's nothing we can do.

Who says there isn't?

Give me the editor's number.

Come on.

Here.

It's this one.

Hello?

Dragonfruit Comics?

I'm an attorney at Chengjia Law Office.

My client, Su Yang,

has decided to take legal action
because of your delayed payment.

I'll send you an attorney's letter.

If you have an attorney
who can liaise with me directly,

that would be best.

Hello?

They hung up!

They hung up on an attorney!

What's going on? Are they serious?

You have to sue them!

Who is it?

The editor! Answer it.

Answer it! He must want to settle.

What do I say?

Just be firm.

They will either be hit
with a lawsuit or pay you.

Come on.

Lawsuit or get paid. Lawsuit…

Hello, Mr. Shen.

Has my attorney contacted you?

It's stated in the contract.

I submitted my work.

Once you have confirmed,
you should have paid the final payment.

It's been over a week since my submission.

You haven't paid me yet.

When there were issues
with previous manuscripts,

they were resolved then and there.

You have put it off for so long this time.

That's your problem, not mine!

Okay.

I'll wait until tonight.

If I don't receive the payment tonight,

my attorney will get involved.

Okay.

Good job!

Here.

Su Yang, don't you live with Qi Xiao?

Why didn't you ask him
to check the contract before signing?

He studied law too.

He's either busy with work

or distracted with something else.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

I didn't know people could be
so complicated.

What's on his mind?

It's nothing.

It's okay.

If you have any questions about contracts,

just ask me.

Thank you.

If you are asked
to sign something, just say,

"I need my lawyer
to go over the terms of the contract."

I guarantee no one
will take advantage of you again.

This is so pretty.

Do you like this?

It's not for me.
Ruoxin's birthday is in two days.

I haven't decided what to get her yet.

This is so unique.

I'm sure she'll like it.

In two days?

It can reach 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds.

You can feel the acceleration.

This flagship car is

an ultra-safe and smart new energy car.

Let me tell you it's specifications.

What you are telling me

won't make customers feel
that our vehicles are superior.

And these specifications won't
make people want to buy it.

But the target market of new energy cars

has always been tech-savvy
and progressive young males.

They like hearing this data.

But we can't just limit ourselves

to a market of young men, right?

That's right.

But even if we want to stand out,

it'll take time
to build our customer base.

See? That customer isn't young.

Hey, kid!

-Don't run around.
-I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay, little boy.

Is it boring to look at cars
with your parents?

I happen to have chocolate here.

-Do you want one?
-Okay.

-Thank you, ma'am.
-Thank you, ma'am.

You're welcome.

Who said my parents brought me here?

I brought them here to see the cars.

You're amazing.

Let me ask you then.

Why do you like this model?

Because the teacher said

electric vehicles protect the environment.

The earth is getting warmer.

You're so smart, kid.

I really need to learn from you.

You're amazing.

-Go play.
-Come on.

What's wrong?

In a better mood now?

I wasn't in a bad mood.

So was the sulky guy earlier a ghost?

It wasn't me.

I have a secret. Do you want to know it?

What secret would you have?

The day after tomorrow.

It's Ruoxin's birthday.

I know.

Wait. How do you know?

You Sijia told me.

Nice.

Things are progressing quite quickly.

What do you mean?

I asked her for some help.

Good.

In relationships,

it's all about helping each other out.

And in the process,

it just happens.

What? I don't even want
to think about it right now.

Qi Xiao.

What I said earlier wasn't for you.

It was for myself.

I'm not like you.

You're a local.

You have a house.

You have millions of assets too.

I'm just a part-timer from out of town.

No.

I want to work, but nobody's interested.

Shanghai is huge and beautiful.

The Bund, Lujiazui,

cars, houses, and dreams.

But what does that have to do with me?

Don't think like that.

Ruoxin said one thing today

that I agree with.

She said,
"All the gifts you receive in life

have a secret price tag."

So the struggles
that fate gives us right now

are paying for a future reward.

As long as we persevere,

our time will come.

Why does it sound like

you are obsessed with Ruoxin?

Right.

If we're friends,

you and You Sijia had better
help me out the day after tomorrow.

Who was it that ignored me earlier?

Our friendship has capsized.

Leave me alone.

Don't act this way, Su Yang.
We're friends, aren't we?

-Helping me will help you.
-I won't.

Helping me will help you.

Please, I'm begging you.

Helping me will help you.

Can we talk about this?

A good person can live in peace.

A good person can get a job.

Okay?

I'll do your laundry for a week.

Two weeks. No more than that.

Deal.

Socks included.

Fine.
