(Only For Love)

(Episode 19)

You insisted on coming to the ranch with me on the first interview.

You tried so hard to approach me.

Why?

(So, he heard what we said.)

At first, I just wanted to interview you.

Yunchuang was so full of potential

and you were so mysterious.

That exclusive interview was crucial for me.

At first?

What about after that?

After that...

As I got to know you, I discovered

your charm, talent, and exceptional abilities.

You're the dream lover of thousands of girls in Jiangcheng.

Naturally, I was captivated by you.

So...

I couldn't help but want to be close to you.

Didn't you feel my sincere and passionate heart?

(From what you told me yesterday, you were one step away.)

(But from what I saw just now, looks like you still have a long way to go.)

(Don't mess it up.)

If you don't feel it now, it's okay.

Someday, you'll feel it.

(Zheng Shu Yi, )

(I'll wait for you to completely open your heart to me.)

How's it going, Miss Zheng? Are you getting used to it?

Dou Dou is very gentle,

and Mr. Shi took good care of me. I had a great time.

Mr. Shi's equestrian skills are not inferior to professional athletes.

I experienced Mr. Shi's equestrian skills last time.

He's indeed very good at it.

He's incomparable.

I see.

How was it, Shan Shan? Did you enjoy it?

Not bad.

But after riding for the whole afternoon, I've run out of energy.

I want to go back.

I'm about the same.

Miss Bi, how about I send you back home?

Mr. Shi, please take Shu Yi back home.

Sure.

(Professor Yu, are you free right now?)

(Sorry, I didn't check my phone just now.)

(Do you want to have dinner together?)

(I haven't returned to Jiangcheng yet.)

(All right, I'll wait for your return.)

Thank you, Mr. Guan.

(Approaching someone with a purpose, )

(but ending up falling in love with him.)

(Will the other person accept and forgive that?)

Isn't that a rhetorical question?

Who would forgive a liar?

(I used work as an excuse)

(to approach an industry elite who kept a low profile.)

(Originally, I thought I could smoothly execute my plan, )

(but as I worked together with him, )

(I was drawn to his professionalism, chivalry, and talent.)

(I genuinely fell for him.)

(I wanted to confess to him that my initial intentions)

(were not purely work-related, )

(but I'm afraid to face the outcome where we become strangers.)

(What should I do now?)

How's the wine?

It tastes good, rich, and sweet.

It's aged.

Actually, wine becomes more mellow as it ages.

What are you trying to say?

Both of us have outgrown the age of

experiencing love at first sight and impulsive, passionate romance.

Being together now

is a choice made after careful consideration and based on our affections.

So...

After going through this adjustment period,

I've been thinking and planning

for our future.

I'm ready now.

Miss Tang, what about you?

What do you think?

Xiang Cheng.

Thank you for taking our relationship seriously.

I'm also willing to be with you.

But

what you said about the future just now,

I think we should think it over carefully.

This is my problem.

You should know that

I've never been married, and I have limited dating experience.

I can't be sure

if I can handle those problems in the future.

I'm even less sure if I can be a qualified Mrs. Guan.

Are you saying these things

for my sake

or for yourself?

Judging from those words, it sounds like the problem lies with me.

You, Tang Yi, the esteemed editor,

who handles numerous affairs daily and is good at handling various tasks,

is actually worried about whether you can become a qualified Mrs. Guan.

- I think... - This doesn't sound like you, Tang Yi.

You have concerns.

You should have confidence in me.

The concerns you had are not problems.

Don't always indulge me.

How did I indulge you?

How did I indulge you?

You are just too mature

and considerate.

You're overthinking it.

You'll end up compromising yourself and the people around you.

When it comes to dating, we should learn more from young people, right?

Like Shi Yan and Shu Yi.

They openly love each other and happily spend time together,

with only each other in their eyes.

Why worry so much?

Then I'm indeed not as brave as the two of them.

Maybe I'm getting older.

But in my eyes,

you're still a young girl.

I mean it, don't worry so much.

Mom, I'm back.

You're back.

Just in time, let's have dinner.

Okay.

Where is Dad?

He went to a gathering with his old classmates.

- Don't give me too much rice. - Okay.

Here.

How are you getting along with Mrs. Wang's daughter?

Mrs. Wang's daughter?

I'm talking about Shu Yi.

Shu Yi?

Mom, why are you suddenly asking about this?

Today, Mrs. Wang called me.

She mentioned you.

She said she has a good impression of you.

I also quite like Shu Yi.

Of course, the decision to date and marry is up to you.

But I think,

if two young people have mutual feelings,

they should speed things up.

Think about it,

we know her family well,

if you two get married in the future...

Mom.

Nothing has happened between me and Shu Yi yet.

You didn't deny it.

That means that you're interested in Shu Yi.

Hurry up, put in more effort.

(You didn't deny it.)

(That means that you're interested in Shu Yi.)

(Hurry up, put in more effort.)

(How's your New Year's holiday?)

It's full of ups and downs.

(It's quite eventful.)

(What about you, Professor Yu?)

(Not bad. I'm back in Qing'an to spend time with my parents.)

- Hello, Ms. Yi. - (Hello, Shu Yi.)

I heard you're in a relationship with Shi Yan.

Who told you that?

So, are you two really together?

No.

That's weird.

Aren't you two...

(Where did you hear this gossip?)

We're not together. Don't listen to the rumor.

I'm hanging up. Good night.

(Tell me...)

I do want to be together with him.

(Sorry, I just got a call.)

(It's okay. It's getting late anyway.)

(Get some rest, good night.)

(Good night.)

Uncle.

What's wrong with you?

Going through a breakup?

Are you facing relationship problems?

I can offer you some advice.

Go to sleep.

Who is making my uncle so sad?

Tell me quickly.

I'm a woman. I definitely understand women better than you do.

She doesn't like you?

She's avoiding you?

She lied to you?

When a woman lies to you,

it's either because she doesn't love you

or because she loves you too much.

My uncle is so charming.

That person must have lied to you because she loves you too much.

If she doesn't want you to know certain things,

it means she thinks those things will ruin her image in your heart.

If she cares about your opinion so much,

doesn't that mean she loves you too much?

People tend to believe what they want to believe.

If he believed in me, he would come and ask me himself.

If he believes in what he hears, explaining won't make a difference.

If a person doesn't want to take things further with you,

it's not just because they heard a certain sentence.

Perhaps they simply don't feel that way about you.

Is this what you learned at Financial Introduce?

You have to go to work tomorrow. Go to bed early.

So...

I was right.

Who is causing Uncle so much headache?

Mr. Guan, you seem quite relaxed.

You're back.

You went to the racecourse today?

What? Did something happen?

What about you?

Did something happy happen?

In a few days, I'll introduce you to someone.

Don't tell me you're taking me to meet my stepmother.

Let me guess, my stepmother is young and beautiful.

And you're significantly older than her.

Who is old?

All right.

I'll meet her another day.

We'll talk about it again when she wants to meet you.

When she wants to meet me?

Are you a backup option?

What are you talking about?

She has her concerns.

I respect her.

I'm willing to wait for her.

Concerns?

So, her concern is about me?

Do you

like her?

What do you think?

I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

Understood.

Dad.

I hope you can be with the person you love.

I want you to be happy.

Hello, Xiang Cheng.

(Yi, I have something to tell you.)

Go on.

(Guan Ji has really grown up.)

You should feel relieved now.

(Indeed.)

(So, you don't have to worry about him.)

(How about we have dinner together someday)

(and formally introduce you two?)

Sure, let me check my schedule.

Bye.

- Quite good. - All right, they are here.

Hello, I'm Cheng Xing.

This is my partner, Hao Wang Shu.

Hello, I'm Shi Yan.

Both of you are really young and promising.

I'm Guan Ji.

I'm Yu You. Nice to meet you.

It seems like both of you manage the company well.

The whole company looks energetic.

It's all thanks to Cheng Xing.

He's in charge of company management and business negotiations.

You're flattering me again.

Wang Shu is responsible for R&D and upgrades.

Technology is the core competitive advantage of our company.

- Let her introduce it to you properly later. - This way, please.

Let me first take you for a tour of our laboratory.

This way.

Your laboratory is so large.

Why do you still need investment?

To be honest, Mr. Guan,

we've invested almost all our earnings into this laboratory.

We've made breakthroughs in several technologies,

so we urgently need financial support to do more.

This way, please.

Have a look at this. This is now our company's latest invention.

This way.

We spend most of our time in the laboratory

and occasionally go out for meetings.

We spend very little time in the office.

So, we've reduced the space to save funds.

I've compared your research stage and achievements.

You can be in a leading position in the country.

Many people have high expectations for you.

But according to what you said,

you should be doing well.

Professor Yu, are you wondering why we still don't have money?

Wang Shu and I are relatively young.

Our qualifications aren't as extensive.

Our production scale is just moderate.

After investment companies learn about this,

most of them think our ability to generate revenue is average.

Especially because we put 70-80% of our energy and profits into technology.

Therefore, our market share hasn't increased.

I heard that you both graduated from USTC.

Yes, we were classmates.

In college, we shared similar goals.

When we graduated, we thought about joining large companies like Zhanlan.

But after looking into it,

we felt starting our own business suited us better.

We already understand your situation.

When we get back, Yunchuang's evaluation team will assess your company.

A project team will follow up with you after this.

Yu You will also provide a detailed report.

Mr. Shi, there's something we hope to discuss now.

We hope to achieve a breakthrough in technology first,

establish a leading position in the industry, and then expand production.

No problem.

I think we've reached a consensus on this point.

We prefer companies that prove themselves through their capabilities.

Yunchuang values quality over quantity.

Only when our technology is leading

can we have a leading position in terms of quantity.

Shu Yi, are you going back to Wucheng for Chinese New Year?

- No. - Why?

Because I'm not from Wucheng.

I got it wrong.

Isn't Wucheng known for having beautiful women?

I always thought you were from Wucheng.

She said all that just to butter you up.

What's with her recently?

Who knows?

But she reminded me that Chinese New Year is about 10 days.

Right.

I have to buy a ticket home quickly.

I'll check the tickets too.

Mom, what's the matter?

(Yi.)

(Have you and Yu You met recently?)

Mom, I'm at work.

I know.

I just want to ask you, how's your progress with him lately?

Don't force me into a blind date.

How am I forcing you?

What's wrong with Yu You?

(Mom.)

First, I don't have time for blind dates. I'm very busy.

Second, I have a boyfriend.

(If I go meet other men, he would get angry.)

Who is it?

Is it the finance guy?

I'm very loyal.

Enough.

You think I don't know you?

(You always say you have a boyfriend, )

(but I've never seen you post anything on social media or bring him home.)

Could it be that he's so ugly you can't show him to people?

(That's impossible. You have the same taste as me, I know that.)

I really have a boyfriend. Why won't you believe me?

Then bring him home for Chinese New Year.

He's busy.

(Is that so?)

(How old is he?)

Twenty-seven years old.

What does his family do?

(They run a business.)

Send me his photo. Let me take a look.

(You don't even have his photos?)

(I knew you were lying.)

I'll send it to you later. I'm busy.

- (I'll hang up now.) - You...

(Where are the photos?)

(Come on, show me.)

(I want to see if he's as handsome as Yu You.)

Even if I'm not after anything else,

just based on his appearance,

having him as a boyfriend doesn't seem like a loss.

(Look, this is your future son-in-law.)

(This is your stepfather.)

(I'm teaching at a university after all, and I often use the Internet.)

(You shouldn't underestimate me by using this method to deceive me.)

(This weekend, make a date with Yu You quickly.)

(Otherwise, you know what will happen.)

(Professor Yu, are you free on the weekend?)

(If you're free, I'd like to invite you for a meal.)

Shu Yi. What's wrong?

Is there any problem at work?

Work is not a problem for me.

The only trouble I have is my mom.

She's pushing me into blind dates again.

You're going on a blind date?

Is it the blind date who has good qualities and isn't inferior to Uncle?

But didn't you...

My mom is forcing me into it. I asked him out on Sunday.

Do you think I want to go?

Then just don't go.

Didn't we agree that I would treat you to a spa on Sunday?

You don't understand my troubles.

Your mom is anxious for you to get married.

She's completely addicted to matchmaking.

She unilaterally thinks he has good conditions

and that we're a perfect match.

What does he do?

He's a university professor.

Why are there so many university professors these days?

Nothing.

I mean, what does he teach?

He teaches finance.

Finance?

That matches well with you.

You'll have a lot of common topics to talk about.

But in this case,

what about your "Uncle"?

(If I tell Shi Yan I'm being forced into a blind date...)

Shi Yan, my mom forced me to go on a blind date.

We...

Shu Yi,

don't go.

(No.)

(Shi Yan isn't like that.)

I can't disobey my mom.

I can only go on this blind date. We...

I don't agree with this.

I'll go talk to your mom and clarify everything.

I'll stop this from happening.

It won't work.

No matter what,

I won't allow my woman to go on blind dates.

(That's impossible.)

(Given Shi Yan's personality, even if I tell him, )

(he'll only...)

Shi Yan, my mom forced me to go on a blind date.

Miss Zheng, please do your best then.

Shu Yi?

Yue.

Didn't you invite me to go for a spa treatment on Sunday?

Are you interested in having dinner together too?

Shu Yi, you're bringing me to your blind date.

Isn't this inappropriate?

Appropriate. This is so appropriate.

If I come alone, it'll be inappropriate.

I understand.

You still want to be with Uncle.

- It's here. - Okay.

Shu Yi.

Your blind date

is Professor Yu?

Yes.

Shu Yi.

Sorry, I'm late.

No, I arrived too early.

This is my intern, Qin Shi Yue.

Her family didn't prepare her dinner today, so I brought her along.

Yue, this is Professor Yu.

Professor Yu, hello.

Hello, have a seat.

Shu Yi, I actually wanted to have dinner with you some time ago.

I read your article about Zhanlan. It was well written.

My friends and I benefited a lot from it.

You're flattering me.

Your insights are unique and sharp as always.

I can tell you've done a lot of research.

I feel inferior to you.

Indeed, I've done a lot of research.

I even went to Zhanlan personally.

(When he texted me on WeChat, he sent messages word by word, )

(as if he wished he could send the very air itself.)

(But now, he has endless things to talk about with Shu Yi.)

Professor Yu,

actually, I'm here today because my mom insisted.

Actually, my mother also urged me to meet you for dinner.

I'm only 25 years old. I'm not ready for this.

You're still young.

But I am already 30 years old, so my mom is a bit anxious.

But I'm not in a hurry.

I don't have the energy to date.

Nor do I have the intention to invest in a relationship or even marriage.

I see.

(Battery Revolution)

(Challenges and Future of Battery Companies Represented by Zhanlan)

Shi Yan.

Dad, what's the matter?

The meal is ready.

Shi Yan.

I heard that you're still dating that actress.

Who told you that?

What's happening?

She's just a journalist.

It's just that she has a strong desire to perform.

To say she's an actress is an insult to the profession.

Okay.

Why hasn't Yue come back yet?

Sorry, I need to take a call.

Hello, Grandpa.

(Yue.)

Did you go out to dinner with your leader?

I'm accompanying her on a blind date.

Yue,

your leader is two or three years older than you,

and she's already starting to go on blind dates.

What about you?

(They are both intellectuals with a wealth of knowledge.)

(One writes academic papers, the other conducts interviews.)

(It's a perfect match.)

Even if I say right now that I want to get married,

he won't want me either.

For people like me,

except for Grandpa, no one loves me.

Qin Shi Yue,

(stop gossiping about others.)

Where's Shu Yi?

She went to the washroom.

Professor Yu.

Do you like Shu Yi?

As a matter of fact, I admire girls like Shu Yi.

Sure enough.

But relationships are a matter between two people.

Shu Yi doesn't have romantic feelings for me right now.

I will try to be friends with her.

So,

does that mean I don't have a chance?

I'm sorry.

(How did it go? Are you enjoying the meal?)

(Continue next week, but you can't just eat.)

(I found some good activities for you.)

(Go visit an art exhibition to refine your sentiments.)

What's wrong, Shu Yi?

Nothing.

My mom insists that you go to an exhibition with me next week.

Don't worry.

I'll find a way to reject her.

I think

you should go to the exhibition.

Shu Yi, think about it.

Moms are like that.

If she asks you to go but you say no,

she'll have 100 reasons to persuade you.

So if she asked you to go, just go.

If you go, she won't bother you anymore.

It will save a lot of trouble in the long run.

But Professor Yu, do you have time for that?

I do.

It doesn't seem appropriate for the two of us to go together.

Then the three of us should go together.

Good idea.

Then it's settled.

Okay.

Thank you for giving me a ride home, Professor Yu.

I have a car. It's the least I can do.

Shu Yi.

I have a question, it might be a bit abrupt.

I hope you don't mind.

Ask away.

Have you been single for a long time?

It's been quite some time.

(Yue Xing Zhou is a scumbag.)

(He doesn't count.)

But you must have a lot of suitors.

Are you in love with someone who is impossible to be with?

Sort of.

Since our families are urging us, why don't we just deal with them first?

Just say that we've been in touch,

but we still need to know each other better.

This way, we can make them stop urging us

and also prevent them from arranging more blind dates for us.

What do you think?

I think that's a good idea.

It's good for you, for me and our moms.

What a good idea.

Let's go with that.

Okay.

Be safe on the road, bye.

Bye.

Zheng Shu Yi.

(Oh no, he probably saw everything.)

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

That guy is my mom's colleague's son.

We're high school alumni, we got together for a meal as friends.

My colleague was also there.

Catching up with an old friend, is it?

Yes.

I thought you were on a blind date.

(I knew it.)

(What's the matter with him?)

(How could he see through that?)

What blind date? How could I possibly go on a blind date?

You're joking.

It's the weekend, so I was catching up with an old friend.

Catching up? You seem to have a lot of free time.

(Why would I get angry with him?)

(Shi Yan never talks sensibly anyway.)

(He's just upset and jealous.)

I'm quite free. I don't have anyone to accompany me.

Zheng Shu Yi.

I can't wait any longer.

No matter what your intentions are in approaching me, I accept it all.

I can't wait any longer.

Shi Yan,

are you jealous?

Answer it.

(Hello, Miss Zheng Shu Yi, good evening.)

(This is Mankalina Beauty Center.)

(We're currently having an anniversary promotion.)

(As a gesture of appreciation for our loyal customers, )

(we introduced Red Beauty Water for our members to try for free.)

(I was wondering if you have time next weekend to come and try it out.)

Next weekend?

I don't have any plans next weekend.

I should be free.

(Great, let me schedule an appointment for you in advance.)

How is the in-depth special coverage for Yunchuang coming along?

Since you're so free,

come to Yunchuang to work overtime next weekend.

(No, I was hinting that you go on a date with me.)

But you asked me to work overtime?
