You're sitting on my leg.
Still angry?
I wouldn't dare.
You can go ask around.
In all of Zhongguancun,
which employee dares to get angry with their boss?
You must be hungry.
I'll make you some wagyu fried rice.
Okay.
He's not deserving.
Fine.
I don't deserve it.
Go ahead and cook.
I'll eat after you're done.
Mr. Xie can watch from the sidelines.
We'll use Mr. Xie's wagyu, okay?
Use as much as you want. There's plenty.
There's just one piece.
It seems like...
you're going to vomit?
Mind your own business.
Look at your antics.
You must have learned this from Xiaohui.
So coquettish.
If you put on a finger cuff,
you'd be the spitting image of Concubine Hua.
If you can’t say anything right,
why not donate your mouth to someone who does?
Bro.
Brother Kuo.
I'm sorry, okay?
Should I kneel down to you?
Fine, go ahead.
Come on.
Kneel.
What’s wrong with you?
I've been under a lot of pressure lately.
I know.
Yuntu...
has been really tough to deal with.
And I suspect that they have their informants
within our organization,
keeping an eye on our every move.
Otherwise, there’s no way they’d strike back this quickly
and this accurately.
What should we do then?
No matter what comes,
we'll tackle it head-on.
As long as the three of us brothers
stand in solidarity
and work hard enough,
we will never lose.
Yes!
It's ready.
Let's eat.
Smells good!
And delicious!
You know, these cartoons
never seem to get past
the first half.
When will they make the second half?
Once our company goes public,
we'll force them to make it.
It must be produced.
Yes!
It has to be "Saint Seiya",
"Naruto" or "One Piece".
We'll make them!
If they're not willing,
I'll throw money at them to make it happen.
What else?
"Tiny Tadpoles Cause Havoc in Heaven"
Isn't that going a bit too far?
Well, I like it.
Make it!
Throw money at them to make it.
Make it!
♫Holding on to freedom through the storm♫
Have one.
Just eat one. It won't hurt for now.
No, I won't.
Forget it if he doesn't want to.
Let him work in peace for now.
I'll eat it.
You can work him to death,
but if he does it alone,
it won’t make a difference.
Let me tell you.
If you're serious about improving delivery efficiency,
the key lies in the frontliners.
They're doing the actual work.
I want to give it a try.
You want to do food delivery yourself?
When we were kids playing games,
didn't we also pick the toughest one
and secretly watched how others played?
Xingchi,
I'm very grateful
that you're willing to help me.
What about me?
Who are you?
What's your name?
Driver,
just drop us off here.
Let us out!
Hey buddy...
I'm quitting! Let me out!
Pull up!
Who is this?
He has completed 500 orders.
Still two orders short of 500.
And this person just joined last month.
Call him over.
He Tianming.
That's me.
Why do you look familiar?
Have I seen you somewhere before?
Where have you worked before?
At Fenghua's place.
Fenghua? Xia Fenghua?
Yes.
I used to deliver parcels for Fenghua.
I know all the routes.
But others know the routes too.
How did you manage to complete 500 orders?
Besides knowing the routes,
I also had to strategically plan the routes
and maintain good relationships with merchants and customers.
How do you maintain them?
With a friendly attitude
and swift actions,
once a good relationship has been established,
even new customers can become regulars.
That's great.
Have you done any management work?
I did some operations work for Fenghua for a while.
However,
parcel and food delivery are inherently different.
I'm still learning the ropes.
Li.
You should have the delivery riders
chat with He more often.
Have him share his insights with everyone.
It'll be useful.
You can go now.
Alright.
Okay.
Fenghua...
How is she doing lately?
Fenghua has a big heart.
She always says that managers should lead by example,
so she's exhausted every day.
Previously, she hurt her back while working.
It aches on cloudy and rainy days.
Alright.
Keep up the good work.
If you need anything in the future, come to me directly.
Thank you, Mr. Xie.
You can go now.
Back aches?
Just take a look.
The delivery rider who previously delivered the most orders
had some tips for planning routes.
I asked him to compile them.
See if you can
use his ideas
to improve the application.
This is interesting.
Here,
take a look at this.
I had those guys who do street surveys
run a questionnaire.
This counts as first-hand user feedback.
Who created the questionnaire?
I did.
You have that skill?
Are you looking down on me? Do you want it or not?
Yes, I want it.
Can't you just speak nicely?
Alright, alright.
Hurry up.
Get to work.
Okay!
Liu,
did you find it?
Found it, it's here.
Be careful next time, okay?
Alright!
Fenghua, there's one more here.
Is it for Keyuan Nanli?
Yes.
Pass me.
It's quite heavy.
Fenghua, there's a parcel for you.
Mine?
Who's so thoughtful?
Here.
It's for both of you.
I'll leave the money here for you.
Okay.
Hello?
Fenghua?
Mom?
Did you buy me some plasters?
No, I didn't.
What plasters?
Traditional Miao medicinal plasters?
It's a big box of them for back pain.
No, it wasn't me.
You're fine,
so why would I send you plasters?
Alright then.
Okay.
I'm hanging up.
Are you busy?
Yuling.
I'm here for a bowl of savory tofu pudding
and that'll be a meal.
Help yourself.
Okay.
Those bowls are all freshly made.
Alright.
I'll bring the bowl back to you later, okay?
Oh yes, Yuling.
Wait a moment.
I just remembered I had something to tell you.
What is it?
Well... I feel that
Mr. Zhou has been having
some health issues recently.
What kind of issues?
I just was chatting with Mr. Zhou.
When we talked about Granny Ma,
he seemed to have forgotten that Granny Ma had passed away.
Really?
Yes, really.
When did this happen?
It was only the other day
that Yan told me about it.
Has Mr. Zhou experienced something like this before?
Yes, but...
But I've been thinking,
it's normal for people to forget things
as they get older, right?
It is normal.
But isn't it a bit strange to forget
something this significant?
If you ask me, Master Zhou,
why don't you take Grandpa Zhou to the hospital for a check-up?
It's great if nothing is wrong.
But if there's something wrong,
let's not delay any treatment.
What do you think?
You're right.
Be careful when digging for that bottle.
If you're not careful when digging,
it might all shatter.
Even if you dig it out, it might be all broken.
Wouldn't it?
-Dad. -Yanlin.
You're back.
Chen Rui is having lunch at our restaurant today.
Okay, come on in.
What would you like to eat?
Anything is fine with me.
Let's have something light with
just two or three dishes.
I have to go to the cultural museum this afternoon.
Why don't we just let him
order for himself?
Order whatever you want.
Thank you, Uncle.
Help yourself.
You're going to the cultural museum this afternoon?
Yes.
Don't make any plans for tomorrow, okay?
What for?
I'll take you to the hospital for a health screening.
How about that?
Health screening?
There's nothing wrong with my health.
I know there's nothing wrong with your health.
But doctors advise
that each of us
should have a check-up once a year.
Look at you.
How long has it been since you had one?
Right?
This is called prevention is better than cure.
Besides, it's not troublesome.
It'll be done in just one morning.
Alright, fine.
You have to go too.
You should also get a check-up.
Do you know?
Once you hit middle age, your body doesn’t hold up as well anymore.
Isn't it?
Anything’s better than falling ill.
You must come.
Alright?
-Okay then. -Right?
So it turns out you're accompanying me for the check-up tomorrow.
How much?
Hello, it's 40 yuan.
Okay.
Here you go.
Okay, thank you.
Take care.
Don't push! Don't push!
Line up! Line up!
There are tickets for everyone!
What options are there for this concert?
What price do you want?
We have options between
380 to 2,680 yuan.
Stop pushing.
So expensive?
Hey, are you buying or not?
If you're not buying, step aside.
I'm buying.
I'll buy.
Two tickets at 1,280 yuan each.
Next.
Wait, I’m still here!
Stop! Hold on!
Listen,
these orders must be delivered today.
Otherwise, we'll get complaints again.
Thanks for your hard work. Hurry up.
Alright, Fenghua.
Ms. Xia.
I've been calling you from behind. Couldn't you hear me?
Can't you see I'm busy?
What are you here for?
I need your help with something.
Mr. Xie, you're not here to personally poach employees, are you?
If you poach any more, we'll have to close down.
I wouldn't do that in person.
I usually do that behind your back instead.
What?
See for yourself.
I thought someone didn't want to go.
I didn't see anything!
Nothing at all.
Watch your behaviour.
Looks like I'll have to scold you more often in the future.
I called you cold-blooded previously,
and you are giving me tickets now because you felt bad.
Next time, I'll be even harsher.
Let's see what you'll give me then.
Chris.
Okay.
I'll treat you to a meal later.
No need to be polite.
You haven't changed your WeChat ID, right?
No, it's still the same.
Alright, take it easy.
I'll be off!
-Bro. -Where's Fenghua?
She went out.
She went out?
Where did she go?
To watch a concert.
She's going alone?
She went with Mr. Xie from Bee Group.
He came by with the tickets.
They just left a while ago.
Anything else?
I have some parcels to deliver.
Wanghe.
I've dreamt of this scene
more than once.
Do you really think I'll make it one day?
Of course!
I've always believed that
you can definitely create miracles.
So,
please have faith in yourself too.
Xie Wanghe,
I cherish you.
If you get in,
I'll set up a breakfast stand at your school gate.
I'll tell everyone I meet that I was your first love
and I was abandoned by you.
My girlfriend wouldn't have a lisp.
The bride is so beautiful!
When I grow up, I want to have my wedding on a ship too.
You're talking as if you could even get married.
If no one wants me,
I'll marry Wanghe.
I'll pass.
You're a glutton.
My family will go bankrupt from feeding you.
What are you doing?
You're injured now,
so I must take care of you.
How is it?
A bit higher.
It's unlikely you will get into a university.
When I head north to start my own business,
you can use that money to invest in my company.
I'll lead you to riches.
In the future,
you'll be President Xia.
Okay.
That's your own words.
No backing out.
I said it.
I won't back out.
Want to grab supper?
I'm fine either way. I'm not really hungry.
Love is enough to fill you up, huh?
Can you take a photo of me too?
One, two, three.
Let's take one together.
Stop looking so tense.
It's not like we're taking a funeral photo.
Smile.
Be more sincere!
Look at how her husband lets her take photos as she pleases.
You though, it's like
I'm asking for your life every time we take one.
Darling, I'm sorry.
Let's go home and keep it down.
This is so embarrassing.
What do you want to eat?
Eel noodles.
It's late.
Where am I supposed to find eel noodles at this hour?
There's a good crayfish place nearby.
I used to go there often with Xingchi and Haikuo.
Why didn't you invite me?
Back then, I was just starting out as a courier.
I barely had time to even sleep.
Well, you could have at least
brought me some takeout.
It's not too late to treat you now.
Sit down.
Waiter!
Bring us 30 chilled crayfish,
the biggest ones you have,
and two bottles of soda too.
Alright!
Back then,
Haikuo had a fight with his mom.
Xingchi's karaoke studio got shut down.
And me?
My startup had failed.
The three of us would come here every day to drink.
When we got drunk, we'd hug each other and cry our hearts out.
No wonder you wouldn't invite me.
Afraid I would see you embarrass yourself?
With that mouth of yours,
if you had seen that scene,
you'd nag about it for the rest of your life.
Am I really that immature in your eyes?
It's not that.
You're carefree and easygoing.
A lot of things don't bother you.
Here it comes.
Give it to me.
Thank you.
Okay, thanks.
Eat up.
Didn't you always say that
you've always seen me as a brother?
So why is it that when something happens,
you see me as a woman?
You're nitpicking now?
I just want to know
when you see me as a brother
and when you see me as a woman?
Well...
For example, right now,
do you see me as a brother or a woman?
You're a child.
Look at the mess you're making from eating crayfish as an adult.
Unbelievable.
Waiter, check please.
Hello.
That'll be 150 yuan in total.
Thank you.
Hope to see you again.
Can you live a little more carefully from now on?
Don't be so scatterbrained,
or always acting like you're a tough guy.
Well, if I live carefully enough,
will you treat me like a woman?
That depends on you.
Depends on me?
What for?
Why aren't you saying anything?
I'm thinking about something.
Tell me.
If Siyi hadn't left back then
and had also got into a Beijing university,
what would it be like now?
Life has no 'what ifs.'
Just think about it.
It's meaningless.
Then let me ask you this.
If my dad had sold the ship back then,
raised some more money,
and had bought initial stocks of the big companies,
what would life be like now?
So it's all pointless.
We can think about the future though.
When Bee goes public,
I'll have complete financial independence.
By then,
I can buy an apartment in Beijing,
a three-bedroom one.
If you're financially independent,
why not buy a villa?
I can't spend all the money.
I still have to support my wife and kids.
So what kind of woman do you want to marry?
A woman.
Someone I'm familiar with
and know very well.
At the very least, she must have good character.
Warm-hearted, filial, and generous.
I don't expect her to be understanding all the time,
but she can't be petty either.
It'll be great if she's easily pacified
and is not too career-oriented,
but she must have a sense of responsibility.
She should be able to take good care of those around her.
It's okay if she generally doesn't dress up,
but then looks great with just a touch of lipstick.
When she occasionally wears high heels,
she'll have the presence of a supermodel.
There's someone like that at Bee's headquarters.
Too bad she's married.
Why don't you ask her to get divorced then?
That's not right.
Wouldn't that affect her blissful life?
I don't know if she's happy or not,
but as for you,
you definitely wouldn't be happy.
Don't talk nonsense.
Be careful on the road.
Good night.
What's wrong?
You were the one who bought those
Miao medicinal plasters, right?
No.
It's a local herbal remedy
that I had a colleague help find.
You've received it?
Aren't you going to thank me?
Thank you.
I'm off.
♫I'm just like you♫
♫Strong like you♫
Mom, are you asleep?
What's the matter?
You've a boyfriend now?
Why are you here?
You're drunk again.
Get up.
Slowly, slowly.
How much did you drink?
Don't fall.
You bought these tickets?
Of course.
If I hadn't bought it, could I have snatched it?
I saw both of you
at the crayfish restaurant just now.
Why didn't you come over?
You two seemed to be having a good time.
I didn't want to disturb you.
Are you crazy?
Did you drink too much fake alcohol?
I'm wrong.
I'm sorry. I apologize.
Wanghe,
you two are a really good match.
Fenghua is truly good to you.
Isn't Fenghua good to you too?
She's good to me too,
but not in that way.
She's been sticking to you since she was little.
The way she looks at you is different.
Alright, just go to sleep.
Don't dwell on things that don't matter.
Xie Wanghe!
Fenghua is a good girl.
Don't let her down.
If you've made up your mind, be serious about it.
Don't hurt her.
Anything else?
Go on.
Wanghe.
We're like brothers.
I'm begging you to please be good to her.
What does...
happiness mean to you?
Happiness...
Happiness is...
to live life with the person I love,
where we spend our days together.
I think happiness is
letting the person you love
live the life she wants to live.
That's happiness.
What do you mean?
When we were young, Granny Ma always said
girls must be raised with care.
She was right.
So I want to
save up enough to meet this condition.
Wait.
You can't be together if you have no money?
You probably can,
but you won't be happy.
Then your parents...
Haikuo's parents,
and my parents...
Since young, Fenghua was raised
as a boy by her family.
She's open-minded and easy to raise.
But I just want to have
the ability and conditions
to pamper her one day.
Before that,
I don't want to make empty promises
or commit to a future.
If you aren't going to take action,
can I take my chances first?
Can I, Xie Wanghe?
I'm asking you.
If you want to pursue her,
no one's stopping you,
nor can anyone stop you.
I'm going to find her now.
Xingchi.
If you think you have the ability
to make her happy,
not only will I not stop you,
I will also give you my blessings.
I may not be good enough now,
but that doesn't mean I won't be in the future.
Making empty promises, huh?
Is there any point in that?
A property or a car.
That's definitely not happening in the short term.
But you should at least have a proper place to stay, no?
I do have one!
That basement, huh?
Are you going to get Fenghua to squeeze in with you,
or are you going to mooch off her place?
That works too.
She has a canteen.
You'll even save on food expenses.
Congratulations.
Tell me in detail.
Let's talk about Yuntu first.
Their biggest problem now
is the chaotic assignment of orders.
As soon as delivery riders
log into the app,
it starts to assign order frantically.
Such a model seems efficient,
but it actually ignores the riders' feelings.
Riders will feel like they're being frantically exploited,
as if they're being whipped to keep moving.
Having an active or passive choice
makes a big difference for individuals.
Yuntu is slow in adjusting order prices.
And that does not match the pace of delivery.
For example,
for orders in more remote areas,
riders are reluctant to accept them.
In this case, the price should be continuously increased
until someone accepts the order.
But Yuntu's response is much slower.
This way, even when the customer receives their meal,
the customer experience is still poor
due to the long delay.
Customers often ask,
'Why hasn't any rider accepted my order?'
If no rider accepts the order for a long time,
customers will cancel the order.
The restaurant doesn't make money
and even has to bear with the losses.
If this continues,
we'll lose many merchants.
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm in a meeting. Let's talk later.
Hurry and watch the CCTV News channel now.
The Grand Canal's application for World Heritage status has been successful.
Really?
Recently,
at the 38th World Heritage Committee meeting
held in Doha, Qatar,
The Grand Canal, a cultural heritage project
independently proposed by our country,
has been successfully added to the World Heritage list.
World Cultural Heritage, huh?
It's the world!
Our Grand Canal, along with the Great Wall,
the Forbidden City,
the Summer Palace, Potala Palace,
and Longmen Grottoes,
will all be on the same level now.
Right?
What does this mean?
It means that when tourists come to Flower Street in the future,
they'll have to buy tickets.
It means that we'll have to raise the prices
of our family's tofu pudding.
Now that the application is successful,
it means our Grand Canal
will soon see a revival.
The economy along both sides of the canal
will develop rapidly.
Good times are ahead.
Yanlin!
Come, come.
Find some time to tidy up our restaurant.
It’s time for some repairs and fixes.
Don't let it look all run-down, you know?
It'll bring shame to Flower Street.
Don't worry, I've already arranged it.
Mr. Zhou.
If Flower Street becomes more popular in the future,
business will surely be better than before, right?
Of course.
Not just on both banks, but on the river too.
Business on the water
will gradually improve as well.
So you're saying that we can
make money by seafaring again, right?
What do you mean, Boss Xie?
You have an itch to scratch, don't you?
An itch?
No, we should still wait and see.
Let's see how it goes.
But to be honest,
Mr. Shao really contributed a lot
to the success of this UNESCO heritage application.
That's right.
I wouldn't say I contributed much.
I just helped a little bit.
Before this,
together with Mr. Zhou, Chen Bo,
and Chen Rui,
we've been studying that sunken ship in the canal.
We could strongly prove that
more than a hundred years ago,
this Grand Canal was
part of the Silk Road.
And we concluded that
our Grand Canal
played a role in history that was
much greater than the Suez Canal.
Don't you think that's impressive?
Impressive.
Don't listen to his nonsense.
Well, I...
We only proved that there was a ship
that had an Italian on board.
Then this ship sailed north,
and later, near our area,
they encountered some pirates
and finally sank.
As for the conclusions,
most of them are speculation.
We don't have enough historical evidence to prove it.
It doesn't have academic value.
You're not writing a thesis.
Why do you need academic value?
We submitted the materials as part of our application,
didn't we?
And they've given us an acknowledgement.
What does this mean?
It means they've seriously looked at it.
Whether or not it's valuable,
it's not for us to determine, right?
Alright. I won't argue with you anymore.
You're the biggest hero for this successful UNESCO heritage application.
Yes, that's right.
As for us,
we've only proven that
there was indeed an Italian on this ship.
But who was he?
Where did he come from and where was he going?
What was he doing in China?
We have to keep investigating.
Even if we end up finding nothing,
the process itself
can help us uncover more about
the history of Flower Street.
That would be a great achievement for us too.
That's right.
Isn't it?
Yes, yes.
Right?
It certainly is.
I want to visit the Suez Canal.
You look just like the Suez Canal to me.
The celebration is starting, hurry up!
It's starting, it's starting!
Come on, come on!
Let's go, let's go!
The flags, the flags!
We got them!
