(Episode 22: Kudzu Flower)
(Sweet in taste and cold in nature.)

(It's good for your spleen and stomach,
relieving hangovers and bleeding.)

Cheers.

You're just taking a tiny sip?

I'll just drink a little.

If I drink too much,

He Suye might take advantage of it again.

You two better just have a small drink.

Time flies so fast though.

At this time last year,

I was still anxious about the IT summit.

That was the first major event

after I became the Front Office manager.

I had no clue what to do back then.

Now you've got it figured out.

You're already experienced.

You even dare to come out for a drink.

Back then, you were still

anxious about that Mr. Yan.

Don’t mention it.

It's over. Let's move past it.

When are you going to resign?

Probably in June or July.

But when I go back,

I need to check my study abroad fund.

If it's not enough for living expenses,

I might need a few more big events.

I need the bonuses.

No problem.

No, no, no.

Please, no more big events.

I hate big events the most.

I have to have meetings with
the Finance Department every day.

I just want to

coast through these few
months and resign with you.

That new job of yours,

the MCN company

you mentioned last time,

I think it's a bit unreliable.

If you want to be a food blogger,

I think you should find a
more established company.

I know, okay? Many companies want me.

I'm still choosing.

I'll shut up, then.

In the blink of an eye, we've been
working together for seven years.

Time really flies.

Once you two leave,

I'll be left alone at Gunan Huating Hotel.

Isn't that a bit too miserable for me?

Why don't you resign too?

If I resign, we'll both be broke.

Your new job isn't confirmed yet.

I have to earn money to support the family.

I'm still here,

you two.

So what if you're here?

We're family anyway.

Right, right, right.

You're right.

I'm the third wheel, aren't I?

How's your guy doing?

Probably working overtime.

Are you finished?

Do you want me to pick you up?

Why are you still here?

I'm revising the report.

Revising the report?

Why do you have to do it here?

Can't you do it at home?

You don't understand, do you?

After work,

I just want to date.

How can I focus on revising the report?

He,

please get lost.

Alright.

Then...

I'll get lost.

Have a good shift.

Get lost quickly.

How can you be like this?

Hey, Comrade.

Hello, Senior Lin.

Are you guys done?

Do you want me to come and find you?

Xifan has already gone home.

She said she was tired.

Why didn't she reply to my message?

She just sent a WeChat
message saying she's home.

Maybe she fell asleep.

Oh, okay.

She didn't drink too much, did she?

She didn't drink much, saying
she was afraid you'd trick her.

She didn't even drink
half a bottle of beer tonight.

She tells you guys everything.

Alright, let's meet up
next time we're free.

Okay, let's meet up next time. Bye.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Xifan?

Why are you here?

You came to my place without telling me?

I could have come back earlier.

I thought you were working overtime,

so I just waited for you at home.

I had something come up suddenly.

I'll drink with you guys next time.

What was it?

I can't say yet.

I'll tell you when the
result comes out next week.

Alright.

Did you draw this?

What did you draw?

You.

Me?

Cute.

Isn't it?

What about these leaves?

What do the leaves mean?

I'm not telling you.

Keeping me in suspense.

Tell me.

I won't.

Tell me.

I won't.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I won't tell.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I won't tell.

If you don't tell, I'll bite you.

Then bite me.

I won't tell, I won't tell.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I won't tell.

I won't tell.

Suye.

I need you so much.

Did you know?

Fang Kexin ran off with another man.

If you don't want me,

then no one will.

He Suye.

Get me some water.

How does he have your house's password?

Well,

once...

I'll change the password tonight.

Alright, take care of him tonight.

I'm leaving.

It's okay, I'll just...

Okay.

Change the password.

Take care of him.

Go on.

I'm off.

He Suye,

where's the water?

Good morning.

You're having breakfast?

Is there any for me?

I changed the password to the door.

Don't come to my house again.

You can't do this.

When you asked me to game with you before,

I was always there for you.

Was Manager Shen here yesterday?

Eat up, eat up.

Tell me about it.

Why did you get so drunk last night?

What happened between you and Fang?

How did you know?

You told me yourself.
How else would I know?

She's dating a senior from school now.

Did she tell you?

No.

I saw them leaving work
and going home together.

She didn't even tell you.

How do you know it's true?

They even took a cab
together. How can it not be true?

What did I tell you before?

You need to identify the source of the problem
before you can operate and remove the tumor.

She didn't even tell you

and you didn't even ask for clarification.

How can you jump to conclusions?

If you're really too
afraid to ask her directly,

you can at least ask her
friends and colleagues.

Come on.

Your situation is much
better than mine was.

Back then, I could only ask her directly.

I didn't know anyone around her.

You mean you and Manager Shen?

Who else?

Everything I'm telling you
comes from experience.

You need to listen and take it to heart.

Alright.

Let me think about it.

Eat.

It hurts so much.

(Honganmen Clinic)

Ms. Wu,

can you get me some kudzu flowers?

You've been drinking?

I haven't been drinking.

I see.

Someone has.

It's almost lunch break.

Alright, add water.

Thank you.

My head hurts so much.

Did I drink bad alcohol yesterday?

Help me.

Kudzu flower water.

I knew you drank bad alcohol.

Drink some of this. It can
help with the hangover.

Are you coming to my place tonight?

No.

Why not?

Aren't you working overtime?

I don't have to.

No, you have to work this overtime.

Besides, didn't you say

you're busy with something great?

Let's talk after you're done.

Are you angry?

No, I'm not.

Alright.

Then I won't force you.

You changed your profile picture.

Do you like it?

Yeah, isn't it cute?

Why don't you draw one for yourself?

We can have matching pictures.

Sure, I'll draw one
when I get home tonight.

Okay.

My artistic skills are really good.

This looks exactly like you.

It really suits you perfectly.

I also think it suits me.

(Shen Xifan)

Where are you?

I'm at home writing my thesis.

Is it convenient for me to come over now?

Sure, come on over.

Okay.

Oh, by the way...

The new password.

It's the last six digits
of your phone number.

No problem.

See you later.

See you later.

Hi, handsome.

Mr. Shen's cooking is really good.

My dad knows you've
been working hard lately.

He made soup especially

to help you replenish your energy.

He's so good to me.

It's sweet.

Why don't you stay tonight?

It depends on a certain
someone's performance.

Don't go.

You're still busy at this hour?

I'm organizing some materials.

I need to go see my grandpa tomorrow.

You've been so secretive lately.

What are you busy with?

Let me keep it a secret for two more days.

If it doesn't work out,

I'll be embarrassed.

I'll tell you when I get the results, okay?

Alright.

Then I'm going out to have some fun.

(Research on TCM-Based Therapy to Improve Quality
of Life for Late-Stage Breast Cancer Patients)

It's okay, Suye.

I don't feel unwell.

The doctor said I look much better today.

Don't worry.

(Email sent successfully)

Kexin.

Li Jie.

What's up?

The other day, I saw you
at the hospital entrance,

walking away with a guy.

Who was he?

A guy?

That was Senior Chen from
the Internal Medicine department.

We went to attend our
supervisor's lecture that day

and shared a ride.

Shared a ride?

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

The thesis defense is coming
up. How's your paper going?

My writing will never have problems.

After our defense,

why don't we all go
out for a meal together?

Sounds good.

I'm transferring to the branch
institute in Ning City next semester.

My supervisor opened
a research center there

and wants me to go help out.

I'm running late.

I'd better go now.

See you in a couple of days.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

(Invitation to the 8th Chinese
Medical Association Summit)

Manager Shen, you should
leave work early today

and have a nice date tonight.

Is this what you've been busy with lately?

Yes, it is.

I wish I hadn't asked.

About what?

Fang is transferring to
Ning City next semester.

Isn't that good?

Well,

is Fang and I

what they call "not meant to be?"

I don't know if you're meant to be or not,

but you might want to
take a look at this first.

Our research report has been approved?

So, does that mean

I now have a paper for a top summit?

Even though I'm not the first author,

my parents won't have to say

I'm not studying hard anymore.

I need to send a picture right away.

This is awesome.

Congratulations.

I'll go back and tell Nian this news later.

She'll be very pleased.

Pretty impressive, huh?

Xifan.

Dr. He, why are you glowing?

Oh, it's the glow of wisdom.

Of course it is.

What are you hiding?

Don't move.

What are you hiding?

Such a big bouquet of flowers.

Do you like it?

It's beautiful.

Well, since you've given
me such a big bouquet,

I'll do whatever you want tonight.

I want to have dinner with you,

then go for a walk.

You've been too busy lately.

We haven't had time to talk properly.

Dinner, shopping, chatting.

What else?

That's all.

What are you thinking, He Suye?

You hurt me. You can't.

I didn't.

You need to make it up to me tonight.

I did it lightly.

You agreed, right?

No way.

You agreed.

In your dreams.

Are you done staring?

I was just thinking...

When you're at the summit
with those old TCM doctors,

if others ask me,

"Which one is your boyfriend?",

I'll point and say, "Look.

He's the most handsome one there."

That's it?

Why don't you compliment my academic level?

This event is a top-notch
academic exchange.

Alright.

Actually, I've seen

the list of attendees staying
at the hotel for this summit.

They're all very senior doctors in
Chinese and Western medicine.

The fact that your report
was selected for presentation

shows that your professional level

is undoubtedly high.

I can compliment you now...

you're like an old TCM physician.

Do you have to add the word "old"?

But honestly,

thank you for

being understanding during this time.

Of course. I know

this opportunity is
really important to you.

Actually, I'm quite surprised.

After all, this topic before...

Stop.

How can you call this a surprise?

You've been working on
this topic since last year, right?

Exactly. This shows it's
the result of your hard work.

You don't know,

but when your project was suspended before,

I was struggling,

not knowing how to comfort you.

So your success this time

actually makes me happier than you.

Cheers!

We can't do bottoms up with this.

Will you be here for the entire event?

Besides presenting my topic,

I'll also participate in several

academic exchanges and specialized forums.

Oh, my grandpa will be coming too.

He'll be speaking as a TCM representative

at the opening ceremony.

So,

will you be staying at our hotel?

I probably won't.

Our association doesn't
have that much budget.

Local doctors

will all stay at home

to ease the pressure on the association.

Fine.

What?

Do you want me to stay at your hotel?

I didn't say that.

One less guest means less pressure for me.

Besides, our hotel has a rule

that guests and staff must
maintain a safe distance.

With our relationship,

do we also need to keep a safe distance?

Of course, I'm very professional.

In the hotel,

you have to stay

10 meters away from me.

Alright.

Well, I'd like to see

if our Manager Shen

can really manage to

keep a 10-meter safe distance from me.

Of course I can.

Have you had breakfast?

It'll take an hour to get there.

I've eaten. Let's go.

By the way,

your father will also
attend as a representative

of cardiac surgery experts.

He'll be giving a special
report at the meeting.

If you're free,

why don't you chat with him?

We'll see.

Let's go now.

The guests for today's Chinese
Medical Association Summit

are about to enter.

All departments, please
prepare accordingly.

Food & Beverage, assist
with the food supply.

Pay special attention to the
sanitation of the dining area.

No problem.

Add salt and pepper.

Wipe it first.

Marketing Department, help
manage the order in the venue.

Be proactive in preventing and
responding to any emergencies.

Mr. Lin, please take extra
care during the summit.

Understood.

Those arriving on the
first day of the summit

are all VIP guests.

Everyone needs to pay special attention.

(The 8th Summer Summit of
the Chinese Medical Association)

(Marketing Department) (Food & Beverage
Department) (Front Office Department)

Manager Shen from the Front Office,
please ensure proper guest guidance

and handle any room-related
issues for the staying guests.

Received.

Alright, let's get moving.

Thank you for your trouble.

I'll ask them to confirm again.

This way, please.

Hello.

Hello, hello.

Welcome, welcome.

Hello, hello, hello.

Welcome.

The elevators are over
there. Please watch your step.

Where's Shen?

She shouldn't be here, right?

Didn't you say she's the
Front Office Manager?

The Front Office Manager has
a wide range of responsibilities.

It's not just about the lobby.

Right.

Three, two.

Okay, thank you.

Look at the camera.

Alright, let's go.

We need to add a standard room now.

Just put it in 8602.

If there's anything else,

just call me directly.

Alright, understood, Manager.

I'll go attend to my duties now.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello.

Welcome.

Professor Yu.

Hello, Shen.

Hello.

You must be busy.

It's not too bad.

This is much more relaxed
compared to large commercial events.

Where are you two heading?

We're going to the opening ceremony.

The main venue is over here.

I'll take you there.

No need.

We're family.

Don't trouble yourself.

Feel free to contact us
when you're not busy.

That's enough, Grandpa.

No problem.

Then, this way, please.

Alright, alright.

Today,

you look really nice.

Go away.

Hello.

Hello.

Are you here for the summit?

I need to go to the main venue.

The main venue is this way.

I'll take you there.

No, just tell me where it is.

I can go by myself.

It's no trouble. It's our job.

Let me carry your suitcase for you.

You're too kind.

This way, please.

Thank you.

It's alright.

We still have five minutes. We'll make it.

It is a bit rushed, isn't it?

Professor He.

You've come too.

I've heard so much about you.

Long time no see.

Long time no see.

How are things on your end?

Quite busy now.

Things are going well, right?

Not bad.

Your report is really good.

That was just a rush job.

I'm sorry.

Sorry, Professor He.

It's almost time.

You need to go in now.

Let's chat another day then.

Alright.

Let's talk another day.

You go ahead.

Let's find time to have a good chat.

Sure, sure.

This is the check-in area.

Thank you.

Thank you, young lady.

Sorry for the trouble.

It's our job.

I wish you all the best.

Okay.

Distinguished leaders,

experts,

and colleagues,

good morning.

I'm very happy

to be invited

to participate in

the 8th Summer Summit of

the Chinese Medical Association.

As an

elderly practitioner who has been engaged
in TCM clinical work for a long time,

I'm very excited and happy.

Through the summit agenda,

I see that

TCM has made

significant contributions
in disease treatment.

I've also noticed at the venue that…

What's the plan for lunch?

There's a considerable
number of young people.

What does this indicate?

It shows that the TCM cause is
being passed down continuously.

Meeting a few TCM professors with Grandpa

and having a meal together.

So I sincerely hope

that those in the TCM field

- Okay.
- Will work together

to forge ahead

and strive to carry forward the TCM cause.

Wish the summit a success. Thank you.

Thank you, Professor Yu
Liren, for your excellent speech.

As a leading figure in the field of TCM,

Professor Yu has made
outstanding contributions

to the development of TCM.

Alright,

next, let's welcome

Professor Li from Jiangzhou
University of TCM to give a speech.

Madam, this contains lavender,

which is especially good for women.

Please enjoy, both of you.

Mr. He.

This is a special gift
prepared by our hotel for you,

a small sachet.

What's inside it?

Yours contains fennel.

I just tried your medicated diet.

It is quite good.

This porridge especially

has a very special taste.

I'm glad you like it.

It was specially designed
by our TCM consultant.

The herbs inside are very carefully chosen.

Good, good, good.

Please enjoy your meal.

Alright.

Dr. He.

Is everyone here for lunch?

Please, come this way.

Grandpa,

this is a friend of mine and Shen's.

I know Xu.

I've taken her pulse before.

Don't you remember?

Yes, yes.

She also led the medicated
diet project last time.

There are seats over here.

Alright, thank you.

These two are TCM experts from Su City.

Well, since you're all experts,

I'll refrain from showing off.

I won't introduce the medicated diet.

Just tell me what you'd like to eat

and I'll get it for you.

Okay, sure.

Welcome.

He Suye, turn around.

Grandpa,

Shen is looking for me.

I'll step out for a moment.

Go ahead.

Just a moment.

Why are you here?

Come with me for a moment.

Why did you come now?

Have you eaten?

I've already eaten.

I missed you.

What are your plans later?

I'll attend a few lectures later,

have tea with the old TCM practitioners,

and wait for you to get off work.

You probably won't be able
to wait until I get off work today.

I have to work overtime tonight.

You should go back and
keep Professor Yu company.

Wait for me at home tonight.

Alright, see you at home.

By the way,

well,

my father is here too.

Could you take care of him for me?

Sure, no problem.

Which room is he staying in?

I don't know.

His name is He Sheng.

Okay.

I'll go check discreetly.

Manager Shen,

can you come to the venue now?

Okay.

Got it, I'm coming now.

I need to go now.

I'm leaving then.

Wait.

What?

Go ahead.

I'm going then.

Think of me.

I'm leaving.

Hello.

Hello.

Are you here for the summit?

I need to go to the main venue.

The main venue is this way.

I'll take you there.

No need.

Just tell me where it is.

I can find it myself.
