[My Bargain Queen]

[Episode 36]

What brings you here?

Director Lu called me over.

I’m fine.

You can go back.

I’ll tell Director Lu

about our situation.

You don’t have to come here anymore.

When can you be discharged?

In three or four days.

Then I’ll go get you some clean clothes

and daily necessities.

Thank you.

Mr. Sheng, your coffee.

It’s such a hot day.

Will she get heatstroke?

What are you talking about?

Look at me.

I’m talking nonsense again.

Forget it.

Actually I was just trying to say

that Ruifeng Technology

is going to collaborate with Worth or Not.

This afternoon

they’ll conduct an offline survey together.

Miss Xia will be there.

Say, will she suffer from

heatstroke on such a hot day?

Moreover,

Mu Xiaoyan told me

that Hao Siyuan, the CEO of Ruifeng Technology,

used to be Miss Xia’s neighbor when they were little.

They were childhood friends

and very close to each other.

He’s also into Miss Xia.

And he’ll

be there this afternoon as well.

Mr. Sheng,

will you…

Do you still have me in your heart?

You are joking!

You do!

You have me in your heart!

There’s no way!

You are not busy enough,

aren’t you?

I didn’t mean that.

Don’t talk about anything

unrelated to work in the future.

Got it?

Off you go.

Now, Yuanyuan,

give me a pose!

Another one!

So adorable!

Done!

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye!

Let’s go.

Sorry

that I called you out on this hot day.

It’s alright.

I’m having a blast.

[Boat Wharf] Are you Mr. Hao of Ruifeng Technology?

I’m a fan of your company’s games.

May I take a picture with you?

Sure!

I’ll take it for you.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Stand in front of the tree, please.

Okay.

Alright.

What kinda games

do you like to play?

PUBG, Kings of Glory, and such.

Mr. Bear!

We are taking a picture here.

Could you please step away for a sec?

Thank you!

Ready.

Done. Please take a look.

Okay. Thank you! Thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks!

You have fans, huh?

Mr. Hao,

we’ve surveyed 100 people.

Good job! Thank you!

You are welcome!

I brought mung bean soup.

Come on! Come here!

Have some.

Thank you, Miss Xia!

Thank you, Miss Xia!

Don’t get heatstroke. Have some more.

Okay.

Mr. Hao.

It’s for me?

Here you go.

Thank you so much!

Are you hot?

I’ll turn the fan on for you.

You are so thoughtful!

Very nice!

Sheng Zhening!

Wake up!

I made some mung bean soup for you.

I don’t want it.

I don’t like sweet stuff.

Listen to me.

I didn’t put sugar

in the soup.

And this soup is very effective

in curing fever.

I always ate this instead of taking medicine

when I was sick before.

I’m fine! You can turn it off now.

What is it?

I’m wondering

why he’s been staring at us.

Maybe he’s just curious.

I’m not sure.

Something’s not right.

Maybe he saw the mung bean soup

and he’s thirsty.

He’s wearing such a heavy costume on this hot day.

He’d get heatstroke.

Excuse me for a sec.

Go ahead.

What’s going on?

Why are you staring at us?

Are you feeling hot?

I’ll go get you a bottle of water.

Don’t wear this in the summer.

You’d get heatstroke.

Go take a break somewhere.

Wait here.

There.

Let me help you to take this off.

You can’t drink this way.

Okay?

So heavy!

Careful!

Let me open it for you.

Here.

It’s a tough job you are doing.

Go ahead.

Please put this in.

Alright.

- You are back! - I’m back.

Let’s call it a day.

I’ll drive you home.

Okay.

The stuff…

They’ll take care of it.

Leave it to us.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Let’s go!

I talked to that Mr. Bear just now.

You did?

It’s so hot today.

I’m beat.

So am I.

It’s okay.

There’s AC in the car.

When will you go abroad?

I heard it from your brother.

After you are recovered.

Don’t worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

No matter what,

I’m still your lawful wife.

You can call me at any time

if you need anything.

Then I’m going.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Yes, ma’am?

Is this the meal for the patients?

Yes.

Is it the only combo here?

Are there more varieties?

No.

There’s only one variety

for all the patients.

You don’t have to deliver meals to this patient anymore.

I’ll bring him meals from now on.

Okay.

Thank you!

Mr. Sheng.

Are you

alright?

I got heatstroke.

Heatstroke?

You went out?

How did you get heatstroke?

I’ll let the Food & Beverage Dept.

make some mung bean soup for you.

No need.

Qian just called me.

They’ll be back soon.

Did Sheng Zhening go there?

He didn’t.

He got heatstroke.

Heatstroke?

So he missed such a good opportunity!

You don’t understand.

This could also be a good opportunity.

Then I’ll see you later.

I’ll get the data analysis ready

as soon as possible and send it to you.

No rush.

It’s a long day today.

Call Ai and Xiaoyan out.

Let’s have dinner together.

Tonight?

Miss Xia.

An An?

What are you doing here?

I have something important to talk to you.

It’s okay. You guys talk.

I’ll wait.

I’m sorry,

but it won’t be a short talk.

How about we have dinner another time?

It’ll be on me.

Okay, next time, then.

Drive safely.

Miss Xia.

Mr. Sheng got heatstroke.

He hasn’t been

himself lately.

He wouldn’t eat

or get out of his room.

He really feels terrible.

Heatstroke?

Heatstroke can make you seriously sick.

When I had heatstroke last time,

I felt so dizzy.

It took me days to finally get better.

Miss Xia,

I know I shouldn’t

have come to you,

but I also know

that you still care about Mr. Sheng.

Heatstroke?

Then you can try

to cook him some mung bean soup.

How am I supposed to try?

I don’t know how to cook mung bean soup.

Then you can search the recipe online.

Miss Xia.

Miss Xia.

Even if I got the recipe,

it wouldn’t come out right!

Too difficult!

Here.

I got the lily bulb and lotus seeds you need.

Hurry. Give them to me.

Thank you!

I’ve cooked some mung bean soup.

Why are you cooking again?

This kid…

You don’t like the soup I cooked, right?

No way!

My mom’s cooking is the best!

But today I need to do this on my own.

You need to soak them for a while.

I’m doing it.

That’s too much.

An An.

I brought something.

I’m in the hallway of the second floor.

Could you come down and get it?

Okay, Miss Xia.

Just a moment.

Is he feeling better?

Mr. Sheng…

He is still very sick.

But he’s

forcing himself

to work.

Poor guy!

Then I’ll wait for you.

Miss Xia, I’ll be right there.

Don’t forget the things

we were talking about.

Okay.

Sheng Zhening!

Mr. Sheng,

we’ll wait for you outside.

Nothing important.

I heard you had heatstroke.

My mom made mung bean soup

and asked me to bring you some.

It’s okay.

Just have some.

Take care.

I’m leaving.

Did you call Xia Qian here?

I just slipped.

Do you know

how worried Miss Xia was when she heard you were sick?

She insisted on cooking some mung bean soup for you.

Such a busybody you are!

It’s true.

It’s my bad.

It won’t happen again.

You can go now.

Brother!

Brother!

Could you get me a glass of water?

And the remote control, please!

It’s there.

By the way.

You see, I can’t walk,

so I don’t think I can do the cleaning for a while.

I thought your foot was already healed.

I saw how quickly you walked

the other day at work.

It was getting better.

But, look,

to bring Qian and Sheng Zhening back together,

I ran around so much

that I sprained my ankle again!

It hurts!

Hold on!

Could you help me wash

the grapes, too?

Brother!

Please get me my cell!

Brother!

My cellphone, please! It’s in the bedroom.

Where is he?

Stop right there!

Your foot is healed now?

Ow! It hurts!

Wasn’t it your right foot?

Oh, right!

You were lying, huh?

Don’t run!

Brother! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!

Lying to me!

Don’t hit me!

Sprained your ankle!

You are running faster than me!

Don’t run!

Hmm! So sweet!

And you’ll

take care of the housework this month.

Okay.

The dishes, too!

Okay.

Also, clean the window tomorrow.

Okay.

See yourself out.

[New City Center B]

I’ll need to work

on the monthly sales report today,

so I can’t have lunch with you.

The monthly sales report?

Isn’t the deadline the end of the month?

I want to get it done early

so I can go with Qian to my hometown.

Don’t be upset!

Tonight I’ll cook braised pork

with preserved vegetable for you.

Alright. Then I’ll go to work now.

Don’t skip your lunch.

Wait!

I forgot something.

What is it?

Liu, what’s up?

Tell Mr. Wu

that I’ll see him in the office.

Mr. Wu,

let’s cut to the chase.

It was Lihe Captial that asked Langyue

to take Jiangong’s reservation

at a low price, wasn’t it?

Besides, I’ve clearly learned

that the so-called long-term

business strategic plan that the Marketing Dept. came up with

was merely slashing the rates

of Langyue Hotel.

We are in the midst of tourist season.

Apparently, Lihe Captial is trying

to manipulate Langyue to declare

a price war with Evergreen

by adjusting the rates at this time!

“Manipulate” is an exaggeration!

Lihe Captial is supporting us to compete

with Evergreen

for the top hotel position in Jinhai City

because of our outstanding business performance.

Without adopting such aggressive method,

I still have faith that I can bring Langyue

to the same level as Evergreen

in two years.

Two years

is too long.

Mr. Qin, please say no more.

I’ve made my decision.

The price war is inevitable.

We’ve already adjusted our rates on all

the travel agencies’ websites.

In other word,

the price war with Evergreen

has already been declared.

Langyue reduced its rates all of a sudden.

A lot of our regular customers

have turned to them.

The individual guests are also decreasing.

We need to do something about it.

Langyue started the price war well-prepared this time.

We have no choice

but to respond to it.

Please give me some time.

I’ll readjust our business strategies.

I have faith in our strength.

It’s still too early

to tell who will win eventually.

Being in the hotel industry means

you can’t avoid competing with Evergreen.

Besides,

price war is only

a common business practice.

You don’t have to do anything.

I only need you

to remain the current service quality.

That’s all.

Once we have replaced Evergreen,

I’ll give you 5% of Langyue’s shares.

Mr. Qin,

please think about it.

I know you’ve been telling

Xia Qian about my situation.

But you can’t tell her

about this price war thing whatsoever.

I don’t want to get her involved.

I know.

I’ll resign myself if I slip again!

What are you doing here?

I thought we weren’t having lunch together.

Nothing special.

There’s just something I can’t figure out,

and I’d like to pick your brain.

Then please wait for a moment.

I’ll be right with you.

Take your time.

Shuangshuang,

our corn sales

has been staying flat.

According to our customers,

it doesn’t taste as good as the other best-selling corn.

Shall we find another supplier?

Best-selling corn…

Please show me the information about the best-selling corn.

Sure.

Cyclamate is 50 times sweeter than sucrose.

The corn tastes sweet

because of the added cyclamate.

But most of our customers

are mothers of young children.

I need to make sure that the products

we are selling are safe to them

so that we can feel relieved.

But the sales…

Most of our products

are profitable.

Losing money on one item isn’t a big deal.

Of course, I’m not saying it’s totally fine,

but I just think ensuring

the food safety is more important.

I agree with Shuangshuang.

Food safety

is more important.

So, do you think I’m silly

to do so?

It sure is different from

the business principles I once believed in.

But now, I think what you are doing

is right.

Thank you, boss!

By the way,

as for

the corn sales problem you are having,

you can introduce some cooking recipes

with the corn during the live streaming.

After cooking,

the flavor of the corn will be

improved for sure.

Good idea!

Didn’t you have something to talk to me?

Not anymore.

I’ve figured it out.

So soon?

I’ll tell you after I get it done.

Okay.

What do you wanna eat?

Corn!

Corn? Corn again?

Why do you come home so late?

It’s work.

Anything new about Sheng Zhening?

Nothing.

Would you like to play PUBG with me?

Why don’t you ask that Hao Siyuan?

He’s such an expert.

It’s no fun playing with him.

I get defeated every time.

No fun.

Will you play?

No time.

Strange!

He just wanted to play a few days ago.

[Langyue-Evergreen Price War]

[An An]

Miss Xia.

Mr. Sheng didn’t allow me to say anything.

But I knew it couldn’t be kept

a secret for long.

I know, An An.

Is he busy today?

I want to see him.

Okay, I’ll schedule you in.

Mr. Sheng.

Well…

Miss Xia wants to see you.

I swear I didn’t say anything!

The news about the price war

between Evergreen and Langyue

has spread out everywhere.

It can’t be kept a secret.

I’ll have a meeting later.

Let her come to my office.

Okay.

[Lihe Capital] Come in, please.

Mr. Qin,

long time no see.

Mr. Xue.

I’m not here to catch up.

I have some questions

that I want to ask you in person.

Why are you using Langyue

to attack Evergreen?

Now that you asked,

I may as well just tell you.

Actually,

I could have dealt with Evergreen in a more direct way.

But one of my partners

decided to bail out,

so I had to give up my original plan.

Although, working with Langyue

actually opened more doors for me.

Is that correct, Mr. Wu?

Exactly.

In fact, you are part of the reason

why I chose Langyue.

Langyue wasn’t my first choice,

but because of your outstanding management skills,

Langyue has become strong enough

to compete with Evergreen.

That’s why I chose Langyue.

Mr. Wu has told me

that he’d promote you,

even make you a shareholder.

In that case,

we can continue to work with each other!

Mr. Wu,

I just came by to tell you my decision.

If you insist on cooperating

with Lihe Capital,

you’ll have to do it without me.

Mr. Qin,

what is this all about?

Hebo,

you are doing such a good job here,

and you have a promising future.

You just wanna give that all up?

I really don’t get it.

Is your past with Evergreen

so important that you are

willing to give up the opportunity

of being a shareholder?

You may think I’m a fool,

but leaving here

makes me feel safe.

Mr. Qin,

I value talents,

but my tolerance is limited.

Mr. Xue,

we are no longer

partners.

You don’t need to waste your tolerance on me anymore.

How come you are home so early today?

Because I’m out of work now.

What?

I resigned.

You…what?

Lihe Capital is using Langyue

against Evergreen with a price war.

I don’t want to be caught

in the middle of Evergreen and Lihe.

Though I had an ulterior motive

when I first joined Evergreen,

after all these years,

I’ve become friends

with Evergreen, Sheng Zhening

and Ning Meng.

Most importantly,

I don’t want to put you in a difficult position.

During Xia Qian and Zhening’s engagement banquet,

I promised you that I’d

keep a good relationship

with Sheng Zhening.

Thank you!

So,

don’t I deserve a big reward?

Dream on!

Dinner time!

Zhening!

You wanna talk to me?

Yes. I have something to talk to you.

I saw the price war

news online.

Here’s my thought.

You invested some money in Worth Or Not back then.

I want to withdraw the principal and the dividends

and give it back to you.

It’s not much,

but at least it can help a little.

Never mind the dividends.

Just give me back

the principal.

In that case,

we can make a clean break.

I’ll have a meeting later.

If there’s nothing else,

you can go back.

Siyuan!

What are you doing here?

I just happened to pass by.

It must be hard to catch a cab

at this hour in the rain.

Right. It’s impossible.

My car is over there.

Come on. Let me give you a ride.

Okay. Thanks!

Let’s go.

Get in.

Careful!

It’s okay! Let’s go!

Xia Qian.

Let me drive you home.

Okay?

Don’t bother.

Sheng Zhening,

we broke up.

We need a clean break.

I’m trying so hard to forget you.

And now you are doing this.

What do you want from me?

I was lying!

I don’t want a breakup at all!

I miss you every day!

It breaks my heart!

When I saw you give others mung bean soup,

it literally killed me!

I love you!

Careful! It’s hot!

Thank you!

It really is hot!

I remember that you liked drinking

the ginger cola I made a lot when you were young.

Don’t know if it still tastes the same.

Drink it while it’s warm.

Don’t get a cold.

It tastes the same!

Too hot. I’ll drink it later.

Then I’m going home.

Try to sleep early.

Stay warm.

I’ll see you tomorrow.

Stop mopping! I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Actually, Evergreen

is faced with a big problem right now.

Do you know we are having

a price war with Langyue?

Price war?

What does that mean?

It’s not important.

What’s important is that Miss Xia

found out about this.

She went to talk to Mr. Sheng

and wanted to help

by paying back the money

Mr. Sheng invested in Worth Or Not

along with the dividends.

But guess what Mr. Sheng said?

What did he say?

He said he didn’t want the dividends;

he just wanted the principal back so that

he could have a clean break with Miss Xia.

Are you kidding?

How aggravating is that!

It really pisses me off!

Calm down!

I know what he said was hard to take,

but he just didn’t want

Miss Xia to get involved.

Since the price war this time

will last a long time,

and it’s not something Miss Xia can help,

so he doesn’t want her to worry

or be affected.

I think that Sheng Zhening

is cruel and ruthless.

And you!

How could you keep such big news from me?

We agreed to share information with each other!

Don’t you remember our pact?

I was afraid that you’d accidently

tell Miss Xia about that.

You just don’t trust me!

It’s good, actually!

I think Hao Siyuan is a better guy

for Qian, anyway!

You can’t change sides!

Don’t you change sides!

Don’t be a traitor!

What else can I do then?

I unlocked a new map yesterday

when I played Extreme Jianghu.

And I found a new level.

What was it?

The male hero’s childhood sweetheart,

who’s the No. 1 beauty in Jianghu.

The character looks just like Qian.

Even the name is the same as hers-

Xiaxia.

I think Mr. Hao

is in love with Qian.

Go over again the live streaming plan.

Mr. Hao will be here for a meeting later.

Okay.

For your review.
