[English subtitles are available.] [Crossroad Bistro] [Ep27] Why me? Why me! Why me! Come in. What? What? I should say that. It’s been days. Absent-minded during meetings, having meals, even at work. Mr. Yu. If you keep being like this, the day when our small workshop goes bankrupt will be just around the corner.
Don’t be so exaggerated. It’s not that bad. Seriously, are you okay You can tell me anything. I’m fine. What do you want me for? I’m here to remind you to check your email. It’s been almost two years since the client sent you their suggestions on revision.
Two years. Is that job still ours? Cut it out. They sent it two hours ago. Keep me informed. ♫ Bitter, spicy, savory, sweet, sour♫ ♫ Love, hate, emotions, revenge, grudges♫ ♫ My mood is on a rollercoaster ride♫ ♫ We are on the crossroad♫ ♫ Don’t look back♫ ♫ Just let me go♫
♫ Give me a warm hug♫ ♫ A kiss that feels distant♫ ♫ I can’t curb my enthusiasm♫ ♫ I will always remember my dream♫ ♫ Forever and ever♫ ♫ It’s the promise I’ll never break♫ Why me? Why me? Why? Hello, sis. What’re you doing? Not replying to the message in the group chat.
I’m practicing acting at home. What’s the matter? Shanshan wants us to go to the restaurant tonight. She has something to tell us. OK. Got it. Are you still not talking to him? Hmm. When will you leave? Tomorrow. OK. See you tonight. OK. See you. Bye. Bye-bye. You are late again.
What’s going on here today? Why so formal? Take a guess. I guess that we are going to play mahjong after dinner? Good one. All right. Now we are all here. I want to say something. Today it’s all about the four of us. No talking about men.
Let’s not always talk about men when we hang out. It’s like your life won’t be complete without them. Agree. No talking about men. I have good news to share with you. Ten months and nine days have passed since our restaurant opened. We have sincerely cooperated with each other
Under the premise of mutual trust and achieved a small success. Manager Feng. Please read it to everyone. As of noon today, our after-tax profit has exceeded all the costs we invested. We already have a net profit of 2,433 RMB. Just ten months? So soon! That means,
Every penny we make from now on will be our profit. Yes. Then we really should celebrate. Cheers! Let’s drink! I’ll just have a sip. It should be fine. No. Anyone can drink but you. That’s right. Shanshan. Let’s have a good drink. Me and you. Sorry. I can’t drink today. Why?
I’ll fly to Hangzhou in a while. I’ll have a meeting after arrival. It’s about the details of tomorrow’s negotiation. I have to stay sober. How many days will you stay? If it goes well, two or three days. OK. Feng Xi. It seems that only you will drink with me. I can’t drink, either.
Are you on a business trip too? Our dear Feng Xi is trying to get pregnant. No way! That’s fast! I’m almost thirty. Not like you. Bummer. You guys. Guess I can only drink by myself today. Why are you so into drinking recently? Today’s news is the best news I’ve heard in months.
Can’t I just be happy? And guys, I’m leaving for film shooting tomorrow. So the next time we meet will be two months later. Let’s eat. Let’s eat. Eat. [Crossroad Bistro] Thank you. I know, when it comes to relationships, if you can’t figure it out, whatever we say is useless.
But I want to remind you that if you like him, fight for him. Don’t always care about self-esteem and shame. Take me and Zhao Henan as an example. If he didn’t take the initiative and I didn’t make a move, then maybe we wouldn’t get married.
I will regret it in the future when I think about it. So, if two people are in love, what does it matter who takes the initiative? Now between me and him, it’s not about who takes the initiative. It’s about whether it’s necessary. Then you just ask yourself a question:
Do you still love him? If yes, fight for him. If no, just drop it. Are you giving a lesson to her? Xue. Thank you. Wait, where were we? You were saying, “just drop it.” Yeah. Yes or no. Choose one. Are you trying to pay tribute to your single life? Chef Zhao.
Feng Xi can’t drink. You drink with me. I can’t drink, either. I drove here. You are two people. Can’t you let Feng Xi drive? Drink with me. Well. Don’t let him drink. He can’t drink much. When you are satisfied, he probably needs to have his stomach pumped. Oh, I see.
Trying to get pregnant. OK. Fine. What? Why are you telling them about everything? That’s okay. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Oh my god! What? I should just go. I’ll take a taxi. We can drive you home. It’s so cold. No, thanks. I’ve seen enough of that. You continue to breed your
Four-legged gold swallowing beast. Bye. Bye. What swallowing beast? She means child. Four-legged gold swallowing beast. Sounds about right. What do you mean? Yu Songyang. You promised me. Remember? You went back on your word! Are you aware? If you quit the job, I’ll cancel my ticket tomorrow right now. Fine. Good luck. Hello, sis.
Are you asleep? Could you come to my place now? I’m at home. Sweetie. Why don’t you sleep? One sec. You want to buy a house? Yeah. Look. This apartment is big. But the location is bad. This one is well-located. But it’s small. The total prices are about the same. I tend to choose
The well-located one. If we choose this one, we need to apply for this much mortgage. Twenty years. We pay off this much every month. Mortgage plus car loan. Just over 20,000 in total. I think I can make it. Why so rush to buy a house? A house makes a home.
A house makes a home. Although it’s a bit small, it’s our home. Wonderful. A few days ago, my relative said he is going to come back to China. We can’t live here anymore. Then we don’t have to rent a house. You want me over in the middle of the night
To watch you perform mime? Sis, I think we are really over this time. Do you want to break up? Then why did you take the job? No man wants to watch his girlfriend make a nude scene. Yu Songyang was just being normal. I know you so well.
You are just getting in a rage. You have to take this job. I really believe this is a character that can show my acting skills. You can’t perform your acting skills without taking off your clothes? Then don’t be an actress. In foreign countries,
There are tons of actors who can do nude scenes. The judges won’t give you an award just for being nude. In our country, cinemas may not dare to show those nude scenes. In the end, you’ll lose your boyfriend. And you don’t get to be in movies. Don’t you understand that?
When did you become an exhibitionist? He didn’t come to coax me. Hello. Hi. To the south station. Xue. Director. I adjusted the shooting order. We’ll shoot scene 35 in a while. Scene 35! I’m not ready yet. I want you to be unprepared. Haven’t you seen the actor yet? That’s right.
I want that strangeness. If you meet the actor and get acquainted, you’ll have to act this strangeness. OK? I want you to show it naturally. OK. Good. When the lights are ready, we’ll shoot. I am your boyfriend and maybe your future husband. I don’t want you to do such a scene. OK?
I am a professional actress. OK. Let me introduce you guys. This is the hero. This is the heroine. Hello. Our first shot will follow the male lead slowly crawling in from this window. After you enter this room, take a look around. At this moment, you hear the sound of water inside.
You come this way. And the machine will follow your back. You walk here and open this door quietly. Then you lean in. Now. Bao Xue. You’ll be taking a shower here. OK. You hear something. Then you suddenly turn around and ask, “Who is it?” Who is it? Yes. Then… Well? Director.
Isn’t this scene only shooting my back? If I suddenly turn around and say the line, then my front will be totally exposed. In real life, when you’re taking a shower, if you hear something outside, you have to wrap yourself in a bath towel first, and then check what’s happening outside, right? Right.
That’s how we will do it. Well. Director. Can you help me with this? Could you edit this scene? Please? I designed to do it in one take. If I edit, it’ll be tacky. Come on. Clear the set. Clear. Let’s give it a go. Come on. Everybody, out. Let’s go through it.
Go through it. Here comes the machine. Everybody quiet. Quiet. Ready? Director! [Extreme sport: do not imitate.] Songyang. OK. Slack! Conquer it for me. Life is about pursuing happiness. [Extreme sport: do not imitate.] Down! Xue. You are right. Life is about pursuing happiness. I quit. I miss you. I’m really sorry, director.
I will return the deposit to you today. I can even make compensation to you. All right. I won’t make it hard for you. I’m truly sorry. So sorry. I understand. Thank you. Remember to invite me to your wedding. Thank you. Zhao Henan wants you. OK. Welcome. What? The Purjoy salad dressing
Is almost our shop’s signature. Do you just want me to compliment you? I’m busy out there. No. I want to say that let’s go see the house after work. Wouldn’t that be too late? The house-owners said they can wait for us. Really? Hmm. OK. Is that all? You can tell me after work.
Well. Wait. Give this to table three. It’s on me. Who? The house-owners. OK. OK. This house is 80 square meters. Two bedrooms upstairs. A living room downstairs. We haven’t lived in this house since it was done last year. Why? My wife was pregnant. My mother was worried about formaldehyde.
She let us live with her so she could take care of my wife. I need capital for my business now. So I decided to sell it. Furniture and appliances are all branded. We planned to live here, so, we got quality stuff. You guys can move in with a toothbrush. Isn’t that nice? Yeah.
Look. Can you give us a better price? Dude. Sorry, I really can’t. This apartment cost me 300,000 RMB on decoration alone. I know it’s not easy for you to stay in Beijing. I’m giving you the best price. Today at your restaurant, I see you two are reliable people. My apartment
Will be in good hands. So? Good. Then should we buy it? OK. It’s settled. Thank you. Great. We have a house. Hei didn’t want me to tell you this. I don’t understand. Why is it so fast? It’s not, actually. Hei was being uncooperative.
He said he didn’t want to lie in the hospital bed and drift through life. Can’t even use the toilet on his own. Living like that is dehumanizing. Is there any other way? Or if we find some targeted drugs? It’s too late. Lungs and rectum. Double primary malignant tumor. Cancer has spread to
His thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis. There are signs of spreading to the lymph at any time. Based on your experience, how… how long does he have? Optimistically, a year. Pessimistically, any time. Well. Does he know that you come to me? Shanshan. Take my word. It’s better not to let him notice
That you already know about this. Otherwise, he will be under even greater pressure. I have known him for more than 30 years. Dignity means the world to him. I know. Don’t worry. Thanks. Pleasure. I’ll have an operation later. I have to go. Be strong. Strong. Hello? Xiaoyu. I’m here. Just off the plane.
OK. See you later. Where are you going? To meet a friend. Then I’ll go to the company. You haven’t recovered yet. Why so rush to work? I’ve recuperated for more than two months. All good. The company keeps my job for me and pays me a salary. I have to show up at least.
That’s true. Fasten the buttons. You should wear layers. It’s cold outside. I know. Today is the winter solstice. We’ll have dumplings tonight. I have dinner plans with Liu Liangzhou. Bring him here. Xue and Yu will come, too. All right. I’m off. OK. Bye, grandma. OK. Bye-bye. Take care. OK. Xiaoyu. I missed you!
How’s it going? Is Beijing cold for you? Do you forget where I came back from? Is Beijing colder than Norway? Sure. How are you? Do you feel better now? I’m all right. I can eat and sleep well. What about your love life? Well. It’s okay. He is a good boyfriend.
But I always feel weird between the two of us. Are we in a relationship or are we not? Whatever. Never mind. I’ll shut up. Or you’ll call me a baby. OK. I won’t ask. How is work? Don’t mention it. I have been off for months. And they still pay me salary.
I’m all ashamed. I was going to the company today. But you came back. I must meet you first. Let’s talk about you. Why did you come back suddenly? Something happened at home. I am back here to deal with it. You seem worried. What’s wrong? I’m just tired. It was a long flight.
Also, I’m still jet-lagged. Are you in a hurry to go back? No. Listen to me. Go home and get a sound sleep. I’ll treat you to dinner tomorrow. Okay. Are you sure you’re okay? You don’t seem well to me. Why would I lie to you? I’m fine. Alright. Then, it’s a date.
See you at dinner tomorrow. I’ll text you the location later. I am telling you the truth. They’re not stories. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been meeting them all by myself. I love listening to your stories. Then, I’ll tell you another one. Do you remember the client from Fujian?
He came the other day. He brought two bottles of great wine. I’ve never heard of the brand. It tasted soft and the aftertaste was intense. I was tipsy after two glasses. Do you know how much he could drink? He drank a 40 ml. glass of wine down in one.
How could I keep up with him? Two glasses, and I got tipsy. Then, I left some wine in my glass every time. I just left it there. He saw it. Do you know what he said? “Mr. Chai. You can waste life. But you can’t waste good wine.” Do you know?
At that moment, all I could think about was how much I missed you. If you were there, you’d have defeated them all. So, you missed me ’cause I could drink for you? Not just that. Xiaoyu, you see. You can drink and you still have a clear mind after you drink.
Whatever tricks they play and whatever traps they’re setting up, you can see them all. This is your strength. I can’t do that. I am a boss. I have to drink. But if I do, I can’t think straight. That day, after drinking, they showed me a contract. I
Didn’t know what had gotten into me, but before I even realized it, I was holding it and staring at it. I was reading it word by word. You used to do that for me. I was staring at it and spotted a problem. The payment date was extended by a month.
They were trying to get me to sign it while I was drunk. They were tricking me. How embarrassed that must have been! What did you do? I told them straight away! Honesty is a must for any business. If the wine is no good, then get another bottle.
If the partner is not honest, then cooperate with others. Doing business is all about integrity. We are businessmen. They just got my point after hearing me say this. They took out another contract immediately. “Mr. Chai. It’s a mistake. This is the right one.” They were sly. See? Have a look.
What do you think? You made quite a fortune! Seems that you can make it on your own after I left. Dai Xiaoyu. I need to start getting used to life without you. I have recovered. I can come back to work any minute now. Xiaoyu. I asked you here today
To talk to you about something serious. I’m all ears. Recently, there has been someone trying to poach you. Who is it? Let me finish. As far as I’m concerned, I won’t allow it. Although it hasn’t been a year since you joined us, I do feel that you are trustworthy. When I got home,
I told my wife about it. Do you know what she said? “Chai, it’s a crime that you force Dai Xiaoyu to work for you.” You are now singing my praise with these meaningless words. I know that a company operates according to certain plans and schemes. You’ve been kind enough to me. It’s okay.
I will respect any decisions you make. It’s not what you think. My company is doing great. Nobody is getting laid off. Dai Xiaoyu. I am just putting myself in your shoes. With your educational background and your competence, you can do much better than this job. It’s not about making money. I just think
You should take a further step in your career. So, I have given my permission. But it’s up to you. Who on earth is this someone? It’s someone you know. Ms. Hua? You’re so clever. I don’t know. I am not that good. Don’t be so hasty. Think about it. This is something huge.
When you think it through, call Ms. Hua. She’s been waiting to hear from you. It’s late. I’ll pack the rest. I’ll drive you back. Do you have a new toothbrush here? I… I am not going back tonight. I think we should break up. I love you.
This will be the last time I say it to you. You helped me convince Peihong to work at our company and gave 10% of your shares to her. Truth be told, you’re so generous. Sorry, guys. I gotta go. I’ll see you out. It’s okay. Stay. You’re seriously leaving?
Do you really think it’s nothing from a man’s perspective? Shen Peihong and I broke up years ago. And we will never get back together. Don’t tell me that. Explain it to her when you go back.
