=Episode 26= =Failed Announcement=

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Peng Si.

Take it.

- Hello. - Mr. Jiang, something's wrong.

There's negative news about Ms. Sheng,

and it's gone viral.

Mr. Feng wants to discuss it.

Okay. Let me see what happened.

I'll call you back.

It seems her private account

was found talking weird stuff

with another account,

and there are indecent photos.

(I knew she was not innocent.)

Well, go to your company.

Don't worry. I can go myself.

Sorry.

Don't be.

I'm leaving.

Then I'll stop here.

Don't worry.

Goodbye.

What happened?

You're finally back.

It's gone viral on Hot Topics. Do you know that?

Go to my office.

(Mr. Jiang,)

(all the photos)

(are fake.)

(Someone hacked Nina's account.)

(We're drafting a statement.)

(We'll hold the hacker)

(and those who spread the rumors accountable.)

Her agent Wang Xingyue

sent me this on my way here.

The screenshots of the chat

have been exposed for two hours.

Do you know how fast

rumors can escalate in social media?

As far as I know,

all the brands she cooperates with

have deleted her information

from their websites,

so I suggest that we delete the photo

of her being the Food Selector

of Yixiu Found of Food

from our homepage as soon as possible.

Cheng Hui, have you analyzed the technical problem?

I need time to find the hacker,

but I've asked someone

to identify and analyze the pictures.

They're all composite images.

They're fake.

There's another problem.

In her channel, Sheng Nina

(Fake Photo Analysis) always has wisdom and good taste,

but the negative news

are completely opposite

to her public persona.

Even if we can

solve this crisis,

we still need to consider

if we should renew her contract.

As long as we can prove she didn't do this,

her public image won't collapse.

Anyway,

at this critical point,

the safest thing we can do is to remove her from our homepage.

Since Cheng Hui has conformed the falseness of the rumors,

Sheng Nina is very likely

to be the victim in this.

Her food live-broadcast

has helped us a lot

by bringing in many users for us

as a celebrity.

But we've established

our celebrity social media matrix.

She's not indispensable.

In terms of business interests,

she can only bring us

negative comments.

Regardless of business value,

I think we've built a partnership with her

after all our cooperation.

Since Cheng Hui thinks

the photos are fake,

I think

we should keep her image.

What are you doing?

Didn't you decide to keep her image?

I have to prepare for a PR crisis.

Who else can be responsible for that?

Thanks, big lawyer.

Stop laughing, Jiang Shiyan.

My career as a lawyer

has long gone

since you got me

into this.

What are you doing?

I'll

visit a friend.

Visit a friend?

Okay.

We've sent the statement,

but based on the public's comments,

it didn't work well.

They said

they knew we'd claim

the account was hacked.

A PR company suggested

that you go live

and respond to this.

How should I respond?

Besides, even if I clarify it,

will they believe me?

It'll only lead to

more hot topics about me.

Mr. Cheng from Yixiu.

Why is he calling me

now?

Maybe

they want to terminate our contract.

Hello, Mr. Cheng.

(Xingyue,)

(are you with Ms. Sheng?)

(She didn't answer my video calls.)

(I'm downstairs,)

(but the guard wouldn't let me in)

(without her permission.)

Mr. Cheng.

Get in. I'll open the door.

(For Fine Food)

(In this press conference,)

(we'll focus on Yixiu Found of Food's)

(latest business.)

(I'm going to introduce)

(the core features of the business platform)

(and give you a brand-new blueprint of Yixiu's Food Map.)

Tell me the details

of the Yixiu's brand-new

Food Map Project.

It's the integration of online and offline businesses.

They'll find

representative and historic

food specialties of an area

and open food collection stores there.

Eventually, they'll promote the brand to other industries

via marketing strategies

of Yixiu Found of Food.

Do you mean

Jiujiang

should invest in this project?

Yes.

Jiujiang has large resorts

and shopping malls

in many areas.

I think

we can cooperate with them

with Jiujiang Property's

real estate assets.

We'll provide funding

and build offline stores,

and they'll select food products

and promote and publicize them.

Yixiu is very popular right now.

Are you sure

they'll cooperate with us?

They're in the Series C Round of financing.

Considering their growth rate,

the financing

will be used

to expand their current business.

As for the offline brands,

they cannot make it

with their own funds.

If we cooperate with them,

we'll not only provide funds

but also solve the problem of location selection.

It's a win-win situation.

After the Series C Round,

Yixiu will focus on going to market.

If we want to participate in it,

this is the best opportunity.

After that,

we'll cost ten times the price.

Yixiu's CEO Jiang Shiyan

and CBBC's branch leader Tang Yang

are very close.

If I talk to Yang Tang first,

we'll have a good chance of winning.

You've got a good plan.

The business model

and the path are both clear,

and it'll be very influential.

I think it'll work.

Just stick with the plan.

Okay, Ms. Wei.

Thanks.

The base is chicken soup.

I asked him to make dumplings and soup

separately.

Thanks.

Try it.

Mr. Cheng, leave it to me.

It's okay. I can wash the dishes.

No, no. Let me do it.

Let me do it.

Thanks.

No problem.

Is it good?

Very good.

I'll take you to the store.

It's even better.

However,

you owe me

four meals now.

Yes.

I owe you more and more meals,

but I'm starting to take it for granted.

Then I'm leaving.

I'll see you off.

I remember there was a time

when I went to Daxing'anling Prefecture

and lived in a mountain village,

but there was a blizzard,

and I was stuck there for a week.

There was no network

or cell phone signal.

During that week,

I didn't even know what was going on outside the mountains.

After I left,

I realized

that all the messages

I missed in the week

didn't matter at all.

I had nothing to do with them.

Bye.

Why did he

come here?

Well...

Eat dumplings.

What about the hacker?

Anyway,

we've done everything we could.

We've sent a statement.

Whether they believe it or not

is not up to us.

So, what should we do now?

Now

I'm tired.

I'm going to sleep.

Thanks.

Who's this?

Why are you here?

I finished my work.

I knew you weren't sleeping,

so I came to see you.

Did you have dinner?

Yes,

but I only had a sandwich.

Only a sandwich?

It's not enough.

Are you hungry?

I can cook for you.

Cook for me?

Can you do that?

Don't look down on me.

It's not a big deal.

I can make

simple food.

Like instant noodles?

Of course I can do that.

I can even make more complicated food.

I can make dumplings

or something like that.

I'd like some small rice dumplings with sweet fermented rice.

There are some

black sesame glutinous rice dumplings in the fridge.

And the sweet fermented rice hasn't expired.

I didn't know they were in the fridge.

Why do I feel

that you know my fridge

better than I do?

I just cleaned it in the morning

and threw away the expired ones.

What's this?

I went out in a hurry.

Maybe it got stained somehow.

Coffee?

Take it off. I'll wash it for you.

You don't have to.

It's okay. Not a big deal.

I'm going to do the laundry anyway.

With your clothes?

Why are you staring at the washing machine?

I like to watch

our clothes

rolling around together.

What's wrong with this?

I think

we just spent too much time doing laundry,

We can only have

Mr. Feng, this is

the consulting team of Liqin Consultant

hired by Ding Shen Capital.

- Hello. - I'm Lisa.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm Feng Weiran.

This is the project leader,

Mr. Alex Song.

Song Jing?

The first two are samples.

We need to think carefully

about both the design plan and the location.

Got it.

Go on with your work.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Mr. Feng. - Mr. Feng.

Why are you here?

Take a look.

The investment team is here.

Didn't you ask me to come at lunch?

Do you know

who the leader is?

Who?

Song...

Jing.

What are you looking at?

I'm not surprised.

They're here again, those guys in dark suits

who eat the same takeout food for every meal

and never leave our meeting room.

The cafeteria prepared lunch today.

Remember to come.

(Meeting Room) I'm too busy.

As a co-founder,

you need to say hi to them.

I'm busy.

They made sweet and sour ribs

and Sichuan pepper chicken.

When?

12:00 p.m.

Okay.

Song Jing.

It's been a long time.

Jiang Shiyan,

it's really been a long time.

Alex,

are you guys

classmates?

I transferred to Rongcheng First High School

in my senior year.

I had to come back to my hometown

(Project Director of Liqin Consultant) for the college entrance examination,

(Song Jing) so we three

were classmates for a semester.

Well, Mr. Jiang,

do you have any gossip

about Mr. Song's youth?

It's the senior year.

We spent all day

taking exams.

Time flew by so fast

as we took countless exams.

I remember we haven't seen each other

since we graduated from high school, right?

That's not true.

In college, I went to your university

to visit...

visit a friend

and met you at the door

of the supermarket,

right?

Yes, I remember.

Liqin Consultant,

welcome and thank you.

We don't have much to offer,

but we have plenty of snacks.

Let me introduce them.

This is Xue Lei, our accountant.

- Hello. - Zhang Le, the administrator.

- Hello. - If you need anything, just ask them.

Get some fruit and coffee.

- Okay. - Okay.

Well,

our cafeteria has made

some nice food for lunch.

I'll ask Zhang Le to send it to you.

- Okay. Thanks, Mr. Feng. - Thanks, Mr. Feng.

My pleasure.

Go on with your work. We're leaving.

Okay.

- See you later. - Okay.

(Meeting Room)

Do you think

(Tang Yang, Jiang Shiyan) Song Jing knew

it was us

when he took over the case?

Why didn't he

tell us in advance?

Did he

(The consultant team came.) want to surprise us?

It's more like a shock.

(Do you know who the leader is?) That's right.

Listen,

Yang and he didn't end up well.

I'm pretty sure

it was his fault,

and he knows

we're close friends,

so I'm sure he has complicated feelings

towards us too.

Well,

do you think

we should tell Yang about him?

Forget it.

I don't think we should tell her.

Otherwise,

it'll remind her of the bad things.

Besides, they're

from two different worlds.

Liqin Consultant is based in Beijing.

He came here

only for a business trip.

When this is over,

he'll go back.

If we tell Yang,

it'll only bring trouble.

(The consultant team came. Do you know who the leader is?)

This way.

Mr. Song, they've arrived.

What a feast.

I was going to have a salad.

Now I have to eat more.

It looks yummy.

Come on. Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Here, take a seat.

Let me introduce him.

This is Cheng Hui,

one of our co-founders

and the CTO.

Hello.

Well, let's eat.

It's just some

casual food.

- Suit yourself. - Okay.

Eat more.

- Try this. - Okay.

(Tang Yang) (I'm in your office.)

Where are you guys?

You guys eat. I'm going downstairs.

Mr. Jiang, I'll come with you.

- What's wrong? - Nothing. Don't worry,

Forget it. Let's eat.

Eat more. Don't waste food.

Why are you here?

Why am I here?

It's weird. Usually, you'd be

happy and surprised

to see me.

Why do you look

very nervous?

Did you make a mistake?

No.

The consulting team came,

but the leader is...

is Song Jing.

So what?

Are you afraid that he might give you a hard time?

I don't think

you offended him before.

It's not like that. I'm not afraid. I...

Why are you here?

Cheng Hui told me

you were going to have

sweet and sour ribs and Sichuan pepper chicken.

I still had some time,

so I came for a free lunch.

Is there a problem?

Of course not.

Let's go. There are many people today.

The cafeteria made lunch.

Let's go.

I think we were taking extra classes during the summer.

Tang Yang, why are you here?

For the sweet and sore ribs

and the chicken.

Tang?

It... It's been a long time.

Yes. Song Jing, it's been a long time.

Take... Take a seat.

I'll get you a chair.

It's okay. No need.

I can sit here.

I'll sit here.

Then I'll move.

Are you working

in a bank?

Yes, in CBBC,

This is our uniform.

I need to go back to work later.

Yes.

Yang is the director

of CBBC Rongcheng Branch's

Credit Audit Division.

Deputy director.

Yes, deputy director.

The food looks really nice.

Let's eat.

Come on.

Eat more.

Don't worry about me.

Just eat.

Is coffee ready?

Yes.

- Let me take it. - Be careful.

Okay.

Lanqing told me

she had a meal with you.

Yes, she came

with her mayor friend.

She also introduced

the brewery.

We need to work with different areas

for the Food Map project,

- so I invited them here - Thanks.

to talk about it.

Thanks.

Well, do you like

the cafeteria's food?

It's good.

I think I can write in my report

that the most valuable thing about Yixiu

is their chef.

Mr. Song, you're telling a bad joke again.

Tang.

Wipe it.

What?

Your mouth.

Mouth?

Oh, no need.

My boyfriend will help me.

Right?

Look at you.

He called your nickname from childhood,

and you think you're really a child.

Only the seniors would call me that.

I was surprised.

Cover it.

I'll put the tissue here.

What are you looking at?

Eat your food.

More rice for him.

It's so good.

Shiyan, you were so brave

and smart.

If I hadn't been married,

I would've said I was Yang's boyfriend.

He'd be pissed off.

Have you ever thought that maybe

Yang and I are really...

Best buddies forever.

You're such a good friend.

I've found that you two are closer

than we are.

Hello.

Did you check the email?

Check it and reply to me.

I just don't understand.

- What's wrong - Okay.

with Song Jing?

(Tang Yang) (Did we officially announce it)

(to the public?)

Tang!

That's so disgusting.

Yang was so clever,

or he would've found out

she's still single

- and thought - (I think we just failed.)

she still can't get over him.

Shameless.

The sweet and sour ribs

are so good.

- What do you think? - Really good.

Wish we could have it every day.

Alex.

This is the aging analysis

of the accounts receivable.

Alex?

Just send me a copy.

(Yu Minjia, Song Jing)

(I'm back in Rongcheng)

(for a project.)

(Do you have time for a meal?)

(Feng Weiran told me)

(what happened.)

(You're so clever.)

(Well, has Song Jing)

(ever reflected on his mistakes?)

Now he's trying

to be close to you.

What is wrong with him?

He's always like that,

feeling good about himself.

Whatever.

I wish I could be there.

If I were there,

I could've seen it

with my own eyes.

(But I have to say)

(Jiang Shiyan is a good friend)

(in the critical point.)

What did

Feng Weiran tell you?

Well, Feng Weiran

told me

Song Jing

still cared about you,

(and you immediately)

(pretended to be Jiang Shiyan's girlfriend.)

(Jiang Shiyan was also smart.)

(He responded as your fake boyfriend)

and embarrassed Song Jing

in front of everyone.

Is that right?

It's...

not wrong.

That's right.

Not wrong?

It's the truth.

I think you did a good job.

(Mommy, come here.)

(Okay. I'm coming.)

(Okay. I need to go.)

(My son is going to sleep.)

(Okay?)

Okay. Bye.

(MU Plaza)

Ms. Sheng!

Ms. Sheng, I'm your fan.

Thanks.

Hello, Ms. Sheng,

I'm your fan!

You're gorgeous!

So pretty!

(Jiang Shiyan, Feng Weiran, Tang Yang) (CBBC's coffee)

(is worse than ever.)

(I want to file a complaint to the administrative department.)

(Moments, Sheng Nina)

(Fish or shrimp?)

(It's a question.)

Yes. Then

give me more details about this part.

Yes, and make sure

that our fresh foods

have long shelf lives.

No expired products.

- Okay. - That's it.

Peng Si,

do we have any Thai lime sauce

we promoted last time?

Yes. Mr. Cheng, do you want it?

Get some for me.

- Okay. - Is there any other deciduous food?

Dried fish. The crispy dried fish

is always one of the best sellers.

Okay. I'll take a few packs.

- Peng Si. - Mr. Jiang.

Do we have more pour-over coffee

that we all liked last time?

I think so.

Mr. Jiang, do you want it?

I'll take a few boxes.

Pack them

and send them

to Ms. Tang in CBBC.

Okay.

Why are you smiling?

Nothing.

(Moments, Sheng Nina Fish or shrimp? It's a question.)

(50 Minutes Ago, Cheng Hui)

I brought a bottle of sauce.

It suits both fish and shrimp well.

Mr. Zhou, do you mean

Jiujiang wants to invest in

Yixiu's Food Map project?

Yes.

Jiu Jiang

has business properties all over the country.

Yixiu needs to open

offline food stores

for the Food Map,

which matches the resources

of Jiujiang.

We think

we can provide

stores and funds,

and Yixiu

will focus on branding,

product selection,

overall plans for publicity and implementation.

We can integrate

offline and online resources.

Mr. Feng, are you interested?

I want to ask something.

Which cities

are Jiujiang's business properties

located in?

I can send you

the details,

including the locations, progress,

and the overall layout.

That'd be great.

We check it

and have a meeting.

- Okay. - I'll tell you the results later.

Okay.

We don't have to decide on

the form of the investment now.

However, we're considering

setting up a joint venture with Yixiu.

We've got some plans

for this,

I'll make a memo

and send it to you,

okay?

No problem,

but

if it's a joint venture,

our board has to have a meeting

and talk about it.

I understand.

Your investors in the previous rounds of financing

are also our long-term partners,

so I believe they'll

trust Jiujiang.

I've heard you're working on

the Series C Round.

If we can come up with

a cooperative package

at this point,

I believe it will benefit

your company's valuation.

- Just do it. - You'll do it.

the establishment of the joint venture.

It's a good thing.

In that case, Yixiu's investors

will know we're going to cooperate with them.

The investment circle

will find out very soon.

It will be more trustworthy

to let them talk about it

than doing it ourselves.

Ms. Wei,

this time, our goal...

At least 1.5 billion yuan.

Got it.

Come on.

- Cheers. - Come on.

Cheers.

Sorry.

It feels so good.

So delicious.

It's good, right?

You know,

actually, I'm not sure

whether I should quit being an actress.

I thought it'd be fun,

but now

it seems to be much more complicated

than I expected.

I used to think

that by being an actress,

I can play different roles

and have different lives.

It must be interesting.

You know, most people

can only have

one life.

But actresses are different.

They can

experience different things.

However, sometimes, being an actress

can be very troublesome.

It seems like

everyone can judge you.

What clothes are you wearing?

Does it look good?

What haircut did you get?

Does it suit you?

Sometimes, I don't know

whether I should listen to them.

Come on. Have a shrimp.

Thanks.

Try the dipping sauce.

- Is it good? - It's good.

If you change the sauce

to soy sauce and vinegar in Cantonese style

or boil the shrimp

with beer,

it'll also be delicious.

It's up to you.

Sometimes,

you don't have to be

trapped by those labels.

You can eat whatever you like.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

Try the food here.

Song Jing,

have you settled in Beijing?

Yes.

Liqin Consultant only has offices

in Beijing and Shanghai.

I remember your husband was in the School of Economics and Management.

We were in the same grade.

Are you Guan Jingtang

and Ge Hui's

classmate?

And Tang Yang.

She was also their classmate.

Song Jing,

I remember...

Forget it. It's been many years.

I met Tang Yang

at Yixiu Found of Food the other day.

She's working

in...

a bank, right?

The deputy director of CBBC Credit Audit Division.

She's amazing.

She's the youngest deputy director.

She's really impressive.

Is she

married now?

I don't think so. It seems she's been single for many years.

I've heard her mom is very worried.

She sets up blind dates for her every month.

Yes. When we had a reunion,

she was complaining

that her mother arranged several blind dates for her

every day.

She was exhausted.

She's a successful woman.

I don't think she'll like

normal guys.

Isn't she

very close to Jiang Shiyan,

the CEO of Yixiu Found of Food?

A video of them

was once exposed.

Well, they're bros.

Jiang Shiyan

has a girlfriend.

It's that actress

Sheng Nina.

Really?

Of course.

Check out Yixiu's homepage.

Sheng Nina was in trouble,

but she was still on the homepage

of Yixiu.

What does it mean?

She's Mrs. Jiang.

Of course they didn't remove her.

- Mr. Chen. - Thanks, Mr. Chen.

Tang Yang.

Tang Yang,

this is Song Jing.

He just transferred to our class.

Song Jing.

this is our deputy monitor

Tang Yang.

Hello.

Hello.

Tang Yang,

take him to the classroom,

introduce him to everyone.

and arrange a seat for him.

I have a meeting for the teaching and research group.

- Okay? - Okay.

Okay, go back to the classroom.

Goodbye, Mr. Chen.

This way.

Is it heavy? I can help you.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Have you gotten your uniform?

You can get it at the Academic Affairs Office

on the third floor of that building.

I'll only be here for a semester

to attend the College Entrance Examination.

Most lessons

will be reviews

and mock exams.

I don't need a uniform.

♪The seasons pass, but your gentle touch soothes♪

♪The moments in my palm♪
