This is the best bowl of noodles

I've ever had.

Why is there a key?

It actually opened.

Why do I feel like I've seen Director before?

Could I really have

the ability to foresee the future?

(Do humans have superpowers, like predicting the future?)

(Old Doctor: Yes, I can foresee that the poster is an idiot.)

(Hua Su)

What are you doing?

Get up, get up, get up!

What are you filming here? Go home.

Go on!

Nothing to see here.

Move!

Move along!

You're finally here!

I don't know who posted it.

(Heartless boss! No conscience! Authorities, please punish them!)

People online

hear a rumor and run wild with it.

Didn't we already resolve the milk issue?

That guy was caught, the money was refunded.

Why won't they just let it go?

(Give our money back!) And they say our food tastes bad.

That part really ticks me off!

They were lining up, begging to eat here before.

Did I drag them in?

Honestly,

Meng, you're too soft-hearted.

We should've called the cops.

Next time, let's see who dares mess with us!

Hold it steady for me.

Where's Fang Meng?

Inside.

Bro, bro, bro,

give me a hand.

Thanks.

You dropped your key.

What?

Your key, you dropped it.

I'm telling you,

don't think just because you work for Mr. Shu

that I wouldn't dare deal with you.

You're the one who's gonna get dealt with!

You dropped the key.

The key?

Oh! Where's your accent from?

Well.

You don't need to worry about this.

You've already learned how to make one dish, right?

Once you master six signature dishes,

Hua Su's reputation will turn around in no time.

I don't have time anymore.

At this rate,

it won't be long before Hua Su shuts down.

And I've got debts to pay out there.

Why don't you just become my private chef?

What?

I mean,

if you don't mind,

you could work as my private chef.

Forget it.

I didn't mean anything by it.

It's not like I'm hoping for Hua Su to go under

so I can buy it off you.

What's your problem?

You still don't trust me.

Aren't you hoping Hua Su to fail,

so I can sell it to you?

But now,

I have a new plan for Hua Su.

What?

Even though your cooking is terrible,

with the right guidance,

you could make something truly unique.

Once the Food Street Plan is complete,

I might consider inviting you

and Hua Su to join.

Really?

You're not joking, are you?

Of course not.

But one dish alone

won't be enough.

If you want me as your private chef,

it's not impossible,

but I have conditions.

What conditions?

First,

I'll only work as your private chef for one month.

Long-term?

Not happening.

Second,

I call the shots in the kitchen.

You can't stop me

from experimenting with any dish.

If you're at home,

I'm in charge of your three meals a day.

Third,

I'm not living at your place.

That's not acceptable.

Why do I have to live at your house?

It's more convenient.

Convenient for what?

Convenient for you to cook for me.

What if you're not around,

and I have some kind of health issue?

Move aside!

Are you agreeing or not?

(Booming Business)

Are you

sure about this?

Well, Dazui,

don't worry.

I'm never giving up on Hua Su.

But Shu Zhengyan does have a point.

In this situation,

if I keep the restaurant open,

it's unlikely anything good will come of it.

I'll take this time

to really study

my dad's six signature dishes.

Don't worry.

I'll bring back Hua Su's reputation

for sure.

Okay.

Wait a sec.

What are you doing?

This is all the money we have left.

I know it's not enough,

but once I finish this private chef job, I'll have the money,

and we can pay off the debts.

- Take this. Take it. - No, no.

No, Meng. No.

What's this supposed to mean?

I've already considered this place my home.

You and Master Pi are like family to me.

When everyone else turned their back on me,

it was Master Pi who took me in.

Hua Su gave me a chance when no one else would,

and I am sticking with Hua Su through thick and thin.

Take the money back.

Dazui.

Whether it's a month, three months,

or five months,

I'll treat it like a vacation.

I'll wait for you to come back.

Okay.

- It's a deal. - Deal.

But take this money with you.

Take it.

No more arguing.

Fine.

But Meng,

I have one little favor to ask.

- What is it? - Well,

isn't Mr. Shu's company quite big?

See if there's any work I can do.

Security or something,

just part-time is fine.

But didn't you just say

you wanted a break?

Yes.

I can take a break while working part-time.

Just in case.

You know...

You don't believe

I can bring Hua Su back, do you?

I do.

I absolutely believe in you.

I'm just working part-time

while waiting for you.

You don't trust me!

Take off that uniform right now!

(Hua Su) I won't say anything anymore.

- I'm leaving. - Dazui, you're annoying.

- I'm really going now. - Still pretending.

- I'll go. - Still pretending.

What's going on between you and Shu Zhengyan?

Why are you suddenly working as his private chef?

What choice do I have?

Since that tainted milk scandal,

Hua Su's reputation

has gone downhill.

I'm barely holding on.

And I owe so much money.

What else can I do

besides take this job?

I think

there's more to this.

I heard Lin Chuxiao say

you two have been

pretty close lately.

Don't listen to his nonsense.

So, you're telling me

you don't like him at all?

I don't!

Stubborn as ever, huh?

You think I don't know you?

Trying to fool me?

I really don't have the energy for that right now.

All I want

is for Hua Su to reopen as soon as possible.

At least now,

I've finally learned one of

my dad's signature dishes.

Lin Chuxiao told me.

You, with that blockhead of yours,

how did you suddenly get it?

Well,

I should thank Shu Zhengyan.

Thank him?

For what?

Well, for the first dish,

he did help me a lot, after all.

And

there's just something different

about him.

The feeling of love?

It's a heartbeat.

Stop teasing me.

Alright, alright.

It's just familiar, you know?

Even his snoring sounds unique.

Snoring?

You two slept together?

Don't make stuff up!

Well, you can go out first.

No, well...

When did this happen?

What are you thinking?

It's just that at the farm,

I accidentally overheard it.

Who would've thought

Shu Zhengyan snores!

I didn't mean it like that.

It's just like

I've heard his snoring before.

How do you even know how to cook?

Me? When did I ever say I could cook?

Before, when I was watching Fang Meng cook,

wasn't it you who taught me?

Could I be a chef?

Do you remember how to cook anything else?

No.

But wait,

if you were a chef,

why would you even care about

what Fang Meng's making?

It doesn't seem like

her dish was all that difficult.

Not difficult?

(Specialist Clinic, Doctor Xie Jun)

Miss, Miss,

we didn't find the target in Area A.

Copy that.

Miss.

What now?

Any luck?

Then keep looking.

Yes.

Where did Xie Jun run off to?

Hiding from me like this.

You...

You've worked hard.

Mr. Shu.

Are you familiar with Miss Shen?

She's a distant cousin of mine.

Why?

She's been coming to see me almost every day,

always bringing people along.

It's seriously affecting my work.

Could you talk to her for me?

Leave us.

I can't really

control An'an.

I'll have to figure something out myself.

Anyway,

how have you been?

I've been having

a strange thought lately.

Do you think

people could have superpowers?

Like, being able to see the future?

What are you getting at?

The other day, I went to a farm.

I walked up to this room

and realized I didn't have a key.

But at that moment,

I just knew the key

was under the stone near the door.

And guess what?

The key was really there?

Yes.

Isn't that incredible?

Well...

My grandparents lived in the countryside.

It's pretty common to hide keys

under a rock or brick

near the door.

Could it have just been a coincidence?

But then,

I saw someone in my mind,

and that person actually appeared later,

exactly the same.

Maybe it's just a memory

you triggered somehow?

How could I have been to a place like that?

And there's more.

When someone else is cooking,

it's like I know how to cook too.

When they follow my instructions,

it actually works.

Do you think this could be a superpower?

Like I've somehow opened my third eye?

- Doctor Xie. - This...

Mr. Shu, tell her I'm not here.

Xie Jun. Xie...

Zhengyan, what are you doing here?

Where's Xie Jun?

He's not here.

Not here? You're lying.

Xie Jun.

What are you doing here?

I... I...

I...

I came in to think about something.

Think about what?

I sometimes like to meditate alone.

I'll meditate with you.

Like this?

You guys meditate.

I'll go now.

Bye, Zhengyan.

Do you have any slogans?

Is that it?

I'm done meditating.

If you're ready, let's eat.

I know a really good restaurant.

Come on, let's go, it's time.

The restaurant I mentioned is really great.

You'll regret not eating there.

We're going for some good food.

(Disease Diagnosis Certificate Shu Zhengyan)

(Recommended to transfer to Psychiatry for further examination and treatment)

Mr. Shu, you're finally back at work.

I thought I wouldn't see you again

in this lifetime.

What brought you here?

Oh, right.

I heard Hua Su

had to shut down recently

due to food safety issues.

Then, Mr. Shu,

you should seize this opportunity

and take action quickly.

I have my own plans.

You don't need to worry.

If Yin Miaolan finds out

that Hua Su Restaurant

is still stubbornly staying there

on our Food Street,

it will ruin

our company's image.

Chairman.

What brings you here?

How's your health?

Zhengyan.

I heard Hua Su Restaurant closed down.

Does this mean the acquisition plan has made progress?

I now have a new plan.

I think not only should we develop

our international cuisine,

we should also introduce our local cuisine.

Rather than tussling with stubborn restaurants,

it's better to cultivate them into

the best local restaurants.

Mr. Shu.

Are you referring to

Hua Su Restaurant?

That's right.

It's Hua Su.

Mr. Shu, are you joking?

First, its terrible food went viral online.

Then, expired milk caused

food poisoning for over ten people.

I don't see how this

troubled, infamous restaurant

is worth cultivating or developing.

Mr. Shu.

Are you crazy, or am I?

The milk incident's responsibility

is not Hua Su's at all.

I admit the food was bad,

but every great dish

was achieved after repeated trials

to meet the standards of fine dining.

Does every dish turn out perfect

the first time it's made?

Let's not even discuss whether we have time to nurture Hua Su.

Mr. Shu.

You are, after all,

the head of the SAGA Food Street Plan.

The acquisition of Hua Su

was a firm task you assigned back then.

But now, suddenly, you've changed direction.

You're saying we should cultivate it?

Mr. Shu.

Is it

because

you didn't think it through initially

or because your relationship with Fang Meng isn't ordinary?

Alright.

This matter will not be considered for now.

Now that Hua Su has closed,

now is the best time

to negotiate an acquisition.

Proceed.

Chairman.

As the execution department,

Mr. Shu's actions

have indeed compromised

a large portion of our efficiency.

However,

I think it can be forgiven.

Because as far as I know,

Mr. Shu has recently

not been in the best of health.

Therefore, any mistakes at work

can be understandable.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

(Disease Diagnosis Certificate Shu Zhengyan)

(Recommended to transfer to Psychiatry for further examination and treatment)

(Possibility of split personality) Frankly, I didn't believe it at first,

but Mr. Shu's recent actions

have truly shocked me.

Chairman,

I'm acting in the interest of the company.

So I ask you for forgiveness.

Because, ultimately

there are things

that we must investigate thoroughly.

By the way,

there's another important matter.

I...

Zhengyan, hurry and finish your homework!

If your mom finds out, she'll dock my allowance again!

Show some ambition, you little rascal!

Like father, like son.

Fine.

Since you all think I'm ill,

I'm willing to temporarily step down

and undergo a medical evaluation.

What do you think was wrong with that dish?

Why its flavor...

You couldn't...

Mom, are you tired of waiting?

My back...

I'll massage it for you.

Why are they here?

What's their deal this time?

They've been gone so long.

They didn't even show up at Master Pi's funeral.

And now they're here pretending to be all affectionate?

Do you even need to ask?

Didn't they stir up a storm before

with that whole inheritance dispute?

This time

it's also about money.

Mom.

Enough.

What do you want this time?

Watch your mouth, young lady.

No matter what, Master Pi and I

did share some time together.

Now that he's gone,

shouldn't we come and pay our respects?

Where were you before?

When we held the funeral,

neither you nor your money was there.

Why are you here now,

sobbing like this?

I was on vacation before

and wasn't checking my phone.

On vacation, not checking your phone?

I saw you posting actively on social media.

I heard my husband

left Hua Su Restaurant to you.

That's not your husband,

it's your ex-husband.

Yes, yes.

We've been separated for a while,

but legally,

we haven't filed for divorce yet.

So I'm still Pi Zijie's wife.

Wait, why hasn't the divorce been filed?

Don't you know it yourself?

Have a little conscience, will you?

The house has already been left to you.

Hua Su is mine.

Don't even think about it.

Where does it say Hua Su belongs to you?

Legally speaking,

Hua Su

and even this place you're living in,

I'm entitled to half of it.

Fine.

Then let me tell you,

Hua Su is now closed.

It owes a lot of money.

If I give Hua Su to you,

can you repay the debts?

What?

It's closed?

Well, since it's closed,

why not just sell Hua Su?

We can split the money 50-50.

I dare you to sell it.

I dare you!

Wait, no need for this!

- I'll call the police! - No, no.

Fang Meng, calm down.

I don't have my dad's patience.

He put up with you for long enough.

You two had bad intentions when you approached my dad.

I remember clearly how you treated me

when you came to our house.

You'd better leave

while I'm still rational.

Get out!

That's not how you should put it.

When your dad was abandoned by your mom,

he was pathetic.

It was our presence

that helped him rebuild his life

and run Hua Su again.

If you want to blame someone, blame your mom who abandoned you.

Say that again.

I'm just telling the truth.

Your mom abandoned you!

Go, go, go!

I've tolerated you for long enough.

Oh, my!

Mom.

She scared me!

Fang Meng's temper hasn't changed a bit.

Think she can beat me?

She's too naive for that.

I don't believe

that I can't get a piece of her.

- Go. - Go.

Xie Jun, try this one.

Their cookies are well-baked too.

Try some!

These fries are freshly baked

and they're super delicious.

Try this one too!

Yes, yes, taste this one as well.

Miss Shen.

Miss Shen.

Are you here to pick up Sweetie today?

Recently,

Sweetie's condition

hasn't been very good.

It's so pitiful.

Xie Jun.

Could you help me take care of it for a bit longer?

You agreed!

Try another one!

Miss Shen.

I'll go to the restroom first.

Go quickly!

Hurry back.

I'll wait for you.

Miss.

The check, please.

Yes, sir.
