Solaso bistro

Work hard.

I just want to work hard, do what I love.

The crowded subway runs day and night

taking us between dreams and reality.

Working until midnight.

The first sip of beer after work.

I work hard,

because I believe working hard

can turn small pleasures

into great joys.

Life is not simply about status, fame or money,

but about trying your best at every moment.

Let's get to work!

Welcome to Solaso Bistro!

= Solaso Bistro = = Episode 1 =

What the heck is this place?

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Tang Yu.

Who are you? Where's Tang Yu?

Step back!

Step back?

Hey, who are you?

Is Tang Yu in?

Step back!

Alright, I'll step back.

Hello, is Tang Yu in?

You scared me.

She's not here.

You're already drunk at this time in the morning?

That way I can sober up early.

So, do you know where Tang Yu is?

There's someone in there. She knows.

Who are you?

Tang Yu's kid?

Who's that in there?

No idea.

Who are you?

Is he Tang Yu's kid?

Yeah.

You're kidding!

She's not married.

I didn't know she was a single mom.

Yangyang,

Yangyang,

Yangyang.

Who are you?

I'm here for Tang Yu.

Is Tang Yu here?

Are you Tang Yu's nanny?

Nanny? Yangyang's my kid.

Then who are you?

I'm her classmate from high school.

Are you both here for Tang Yu as well?

I'm Tang Yu. I have to talk to you.

It's been a while.

Would you come at 5pm?

No. 56 Tairan Road, on the rooftop.

It's right here.

But she isn't here yet.

Let's wait for her.

Okay.

Put it over there.

Who's that?

No idea.

Maybe she's Tang Yu's guest too.

She looks so numb, like she's been raised by wolves.

You said you were her classmate?

Yeah.

We went to the same high school.

It was me and Tang Yu,

and another girl called Wu Yue.

The three of us were besties.

Wu Yue's family had a restaurant.

So every day after school,

we went and ate with them.

Looking back to our school days,

we were really so happy.

So you're here to see your old friend?

No, in fact, I'm here to borrow money.

Dealing with Divorce.

Why'd you bring that out?

We don't want your dad to see it.

When it comes to divorce, evidence matters.

Whether it's cheating, domestic violence

or another kind of crime,

get the evidence and you get the alimony.

Whether you want the car, the house, or the kid,

it's all attainable.

You sound experienced.

You sound inexperienced.

Don't say that in front of the kid.

Who are you? How do you know Tang Yu?

I met Tang Yu in a bar,

when I was looking for a job,

I'm still looking, actually.

I wonder if I should be a photographer, stylist,

or a tour guide.

Life should be like a holiday.

I have to find a job where

I can have fun and earn a ton.

That day I was hanging out

in the bar where I used to work.

I'm in a good mood today.

It's on me, okay?

Great!

You guys carry on.

Hello, sweetheart. -Hello.

Can I get you anything else?

I'm good. Thank you.

Tell me if you need anything.

Okay.

What are you doing back here?

You don't work here anymore.

I just thought, since you were so busy,

you could use some help.

500 yuan.

500 yuan.

Give it to me.

This watch was more than 500 yuan.

My ex brought it back from Switzerland.

It's a nice keepsake.

It's never worth 500,

not even with you attached.

Check, please.

Okay, 180 yuan for you.

I'll pay for her too.

You're treating me?

That's so kind of you.

20 change.

I'll use it for a cab.

The watch was a gift, don't give it away.

Hey hold on.

Next time I'll buy you a drink.

So you came to pay her back?

No.

I came to borrow money.

You know, she lent me some before.

She'll lend me some again.

I'll save up,

and pay her back all at once.

That'll make her happy, right?

And you? How do you know her?

We worked for the same company.

We've even got pregnant women lining up.

Might as well just hand them maternity leave.

Yeah, she sounded quite upset.

Tang Yu.

Yes.

We liked your plan.

Have you ever run a restaurant?

I once ran a café.

You have experience.

You're 28 now.

You've past marriageable age.

Now I just want to focus on my job.

I don't have any plans to marry.

Really? So you prefer work,

to men then?

Tang Yu's interview was a mess.

Even Jiaotong University graduates like me

have a hard time distinguishing themselves.

And she didn't go to a top school.

Tang Yu.

You have to make good use

of your women's intuition to serve our company.

Our company,

really values women's development.

The VP Yin Mei

worked her way up from the bottom.

Thank you.

I'll work hard.

How sad is that.

As soon as she started,

she started planning for the Greenlight Restaurant.

= For Rent =

Finding a location

is a job for newbies like you.

Why'd Mr. Tian ask me to come?

What do you think of this place?

= 250 Square Meters Shop for Rent / Sale =

Only 5 minutes' walk from the subway.

It's close to all those offices,

and high-end residential areas.

People round here can afford it.

It's a good spot for a high-end restaurant.

In that male-dominated company,

even graduates like us were marginalized.

So women like Tang Yu

who'd gone to mediocre schools,

it didn't matter what they did.

Because eventually those brown-nosers

would take the credit.

I think it's perfect for us

since we're a high-end restaurant.

Okay okay okay. Good-bye, Mr. Tian.

Gross.

What do you think of this place?

It's surrounded by office buildings.

The people here are all loaded.
