"Can't Bear to Forget You" by Ariel Tsai
Stepchild, stepchild, stepchild!
You're simply a stepchild in the world of cooking!
Unless you don't want to eat dinner,
get out of my kitchen until I'm done cooking.
CEO, there's a problem with today's contract.
It needs to be revised immediately.
Chuchu is already on her way with the contract.
I'll go back to my room as long as you agree that
from this day forward, I get to eat at the dining table too.
If you have a portion to eat, then so do I.
Boss, are you okay?
Did something happen to you when you were little?
It's dark. It's slanted.
Go to sleep! Sleep!
Xiao'en, you'll stay here, right?
You're not allowed to sneak away when I'm asleep.
I'll sleep here.
I promise I won't go anywhere.
Even if I sleepwalk, I won't leave.
The CEO's itinerary today is to inspect and approve all of the resort's
daytime and nighttime facilities and service plans.
If he's satisfied, we will begin contract negotiations tomorrow.
Tianxing once said that the employees are the company's most valuable asset.
I fully understand everyone's request.
I will pass the word on to the chairwoman.
We absolutely won't treat you poorly.
All of you,
if you are willing to write a letter of repentance
and admit that striking was a mistake that you won't make again in the future,
please stand up and return to the office with me.
We will forget that anything happened today.
Tomorrow, everyone will continue to work hard together.
[Stop suppressing us, negotiate with us immediately]
[Unethical company, wrongful layoffs]
Wow.
That's so great.
You guys have such a backbone.
It's worth my applause for you.
Qiaozhi, take down all of the strikers' names.
All these people...
Tianliang Group doesn't want them.
Let's start recruiting new people tomorrow.
Yes.
How could this happen?
- CHRO He, what do we do now? - CHRO, go!
- CHRO He. - But...
Sis.
Chairwoman.
Can you listen to me?
Chairwoman?
Sure sounds nice.
Are you angry with me right now?
I also want to help the company resolve this problem.
Problem?
Are you trying to tell them that I am the company's problem?
Do you think I'd do that to you? We are family!
When you tried to garner popular support behind my back,
did you think about me, your family?
You know everyone's comparing me to He Tianxing and contradicting me,
does this mean you are on his side?
Goodness, aren't you getting a little off topic here?
I know you hate He Tianxing,
but you can't deny that most of our employees approve of him more.
Right now, you insist on obliterating all of his contributions,
and then you take the opposing side from your employees.
What good does this do you?
- Even if— - Also...
We've never handled a strike before,
but we at least know how to copy someone, right?
How come He Tianxing can do it, but we can't?
[Stop suppressing us, negotiate with us immediately]
[Unethical company, wrongful layoffs]
Uncle Hu.
Chairwoman.
I know about everything happening outside.
You did a good job. A rare sight.
You've grown up.
But your work is not meticulous enough,
not slick enough.
You shouldn't have given out lunch boxes in your own name
and negotiated with them.
I'm not negotiating with them. I'm just trying to understand—
No matter what, you should not take initiative in front of Chairwoman,
especially since you have differing opinions.
Think about what the employees on strike will think.
They'll think that the CHRO is willing to talk with them,
but our chairwoman doesn't even want to listen.
Doesn't that indicate incapability, arrogance, and no empathy?
It's okay, Uncle Hu.
As the chairwoman, the decisions I make will never change.
- Sis, but— - That's how it will be.
Sis.
Sis!
The unique geographical location and soil quality of this place
has resulted in the unique flavor of this coffee.
The bitterness is very subtle.
The taste is smooth and sweet.
The taste is quite strong and uniform.
It really does have a special flavor.
Local characteristics are well-integrated into the resort.
This will be helpful in getting our foot in the door
for the international tourism market.
This is the contract for our collaboration.
Although Royal Group's name will be used here in the future,
as I keep emphasizing,
Royal Group does not build cookie-cutter hotels.
Please remember that
everything that sets you apart from others is what I want.
The contract has already been adjusted
according to what we talked about earlier.
- Please check. - Okay.
I'll sign the contract first thing tomorrow morning
so that you can take it with you.
I... I want to check in.
Okay. Do you have a reservation?
No.
I'll get you a glass of water.
Thank you.
Here you go.
I'm sorry, but we only have one room left unbooked for today.
It's a deluxe mountain view suite. You get your own hot spring.
Dinner and breakfast is included, and you get one ticket to the spa.
Perfect. I'll take that one.
Okay. The price for one person is NT$50,000 (~US$1,700).
Are you paying by card?
Excuse me. You said how many zeroes after the five?
Four.
Miss, if I don't eat anything and don't use the spa or the hot spring,
can it be cheaper? A zero less?
Mr. Situ, let's go inside.
Miss, you dropped your pen. I'll get it for you.
Our work is done today.
What do you think?
Do you want to try the hot spring, spa, or hydrotherapy?
I heard the dinner is quite a treat.
Can we do it all?
Of course.
Swipe all you want for the deluxe mountain view suite.
Okay.
CEO Situ, this is your room card.
Miss Chuchu, this is your room card. Your room is over there.
Then I'll let you both rest.
Get some rest first.
CEO, is there anything you need to brief me on?
The dinner reservation is at 7:30 PM.
Miss, your room is not on this floor.
I spent so much money. I just want to look around.
But this whole floor is booked.
I won't go in the rooms.
Looking around the hallways is also very interesting.
Look, being alone in happiness is better than sharing my happiness.
"Over a thousand hills, no bird is in flight."
"I am an old man in a straw hat on a lone boat."
Who's in which room?
Miss!
Don't worry about me. You can get back to work.
No, but you'll disturb the other guests—
If you don't make a sound and I don't make a sound,
then no one will be disturbed. Okay?
No, but—
Miss, please do me a favor.
You're making this hard for me.
What's wrong?
CEO.
I slipped in the bathroom and broke the mirror.
It's alright. Let me look.
I'm bleeding.
Hey, go help!
Hurry!
I absolutely won't give you guys the chance
to perform the finger-sucking scene!
Her room's mirror broke, and she hurt her hand.
I'll bring the first aid kit immediately and have someone come clean up the room.
Can you just get a new room for her?
I'm sorry. The last room was just booked.
We really don't have any more.
It'll hurt a bit. Try to hold it in.
Here.
CEO Situ, the deluxe mountain view suite at the penthouse is ready.
Okay, I got it.
Didn't you say the hotel was completely booked?
Well, actually...
one woman who booked had something come up and decided to cancel.
CEO, I can just stay here.
We are here to work.
Alright, I'm fine either way.
My room is farther from here.
Call me if anything happens, okay?
Okay.
I should have brought a tent.
Tonight is the turning point in the plot.
The author will use any method beyond reason
to trap the main characters in the same room overnight.
If that's the case, what's the use of sacrificing my own room?
In any case, if they get drunk, they'll get in the wrong bed.
