Ode To Joy 2 (Huan Le Song / 欢乐颂)

As Red Star Electronics need to expand the scale of production

we'll have to prepare enough funds for equipment procurement and cash-flow.

We can actually make use of--

Hello, CEO Tan!

You've been discussing this all day.

Take a break?

Let's take a break? It's 14:30 p.m. now.

We'll continue at 15 p.m.

Guess what happened to Mrs. Wei's case?

What happened?

She's in detention.

She'll be in detention for half a month.

Is it that serious?

It's said that Wei Guo Qiang contributed to the result.

Otherwise, she won't be detained for that long.

I despise him all the more now.

Mrs. Wei was his wife after all.

If he's capable of doing so...

How ruthless can he be?

I totally agree with you.

That's why I came here especially to warn you.

Wei Guo Qiang acted so ruthlessly.

He must have his reasons.

Since we don't have a clue about his intentions

we could only stay alert and wary.

Sheng Mei, I called you but your phone was turned off.

Do you remember the important client I told you about?

It's none other than Bao Yi Fan, VP Bao.

Thanks to Andie, I finally got in touch with him.

I have to deliver the samples over to him.

I can only come home after I get a confirmed answer.

I reckon it will take at least two days.

Don't worry about your family.

I'll come up with a plan when I get back to Shanghai.

Business... It's always business.

All he knows is his business.

Guan Guan, what is it?

Hello, Andie?

Are you free tonight?

I don't have anything planned yet.

What is it?

It's that Shu Zhan I told you about.

The blind date my parents set me up with.

He asked me out to dinner again.

I don't have any excuses to turn him down.

Could you come with me?

I don't want to meet him alone.

Just let him know that I'm not interested.

I can go with you but I don't think that I'd be of much help.

If you really don't wish to meet up with him

I can recommend someone to help you.

She can surely accomplish the mission.

Who is it?

Nasty Guan Guan.

Even you have a blind date?

I'll be there.

I'll surely be there.

Dr. Zhao is too busy to see me anyway.

I happen to be too bored.

Text me the address.

I'll definitely be a part of such an interesting event.

Sure.

Is Xiao Xiao joining us?

You're right.

She even screeched in delight.

I hope that Xiao Xiao can handle Shu Zhan like she did with Asshole Bai.

It depends on what Shu Zhan is like.

Don't worry.

Xiao Xiao has her way of dealing with men.

That's weird.

There's a Volkswagen behind us.

It keeps trying to overtake us.

We're caught in rush hour traffic so what's there to overtake?

Be careful.

I already let it through but it's still behind us.

It's flashing headlights at me.

It's okay, Andie. We're taking the next exit.

Okay.

Xiao Guan!

Shu Zhan?

It's actually him?

Xiao Guan, what a coincidence?

This is my friend, Shu Zhan.

This is my neighbor, Andie.

She's in the financial sector.

She used to work in the States.

- She's the top of her game. - Hi.

Hi. You drive quite fiercely?

I was into Autocross for some time.

Autocross is a form of motorsports.

Are you interested in racing?

I don't know much about it.

I usually drive too slowly.

It's okay. You have me.

Isn't it cold out here?

Are you so eager to meet up?

Let's head inside.

This is Xiao Xiao. She's also my neighbor.

She also used to live in the States.

She's pleased to meet you.

Ms. Qu.

I don't shake hands with men.

I can't shake off every man who shook my hands.

I don't find it troublesome.

I'm just worried that Xiao Guan would unfriend me.

Let's head inside.

Do you all want to end up as an ice lollipop?

I won't wait for you.

Thank you.

This chair is so heavy.

Thank you.

I believe that you're all very sophisticated.

I think this restaurant is...

Special.

None of you have been here before?

We're not picky with food.

We can have anything.

- Okay. - We'll go dutch.

Mr. Shu might not know what to order because there are so many of us.

We might not have our fill either.

We all make big money.

We can pay for our own meal.

Mr. Shu, don't mind us.

It isn't that we think little of you.

We're just considerate of Xiao Guan.

We won't mistreat her friends.

I have to make it clear to you.

Dinner must be on me.

I invited Xiao Guan here.

Men should always pay the bill, all right?

We're not the leading lady.

We're just here for a free meal.

Really?

All right then.

I won't feel bad about it.

I'll just go ahead and eat my fill.

Great.

The minor character backs off now.

Xiao Guan, you're the leading lady. You should order.

Shu Zhan recommended this restaurant.

He should know the specialties.

Waiter!

Chris said that there will be some anchovies.

- Are they in stock? - Yes.

- Our chef bought it in person. - Okay.

We'll get white anchovies for starter.

Romaine hearts and crispy ham.

Romaine hearts must be fresh.

I'm very picky about the quality of ingredients.

Ingredients must be fresh.

Fresh ingredients are tasty and good in texture.

You don't have to order so much.

We can't eat that much.

It's bad to waste food.

It's okay. Appetizers are all for sharing.

Do you now understand why she brought us here?

You should all eat more.

For our main course, we'd like to roasted sirloin.

The meat must be fresh and juicy.

Keep that in mind.

The dessert is banana beignet but don't go overboard with the panna cotta.

I'm worried that they aren't used to it.

Mr. Shu, we've all studied abroad.

But why don't I understand a word you just said?

Perhaps, Ms. Qu doesn't know much about cuisine?

You might not know a lot about food pairing as well?

I heard you mention panna cotta and anchovies, right?

This restaurant serves very authentic anchovy cuisine.

They also added minced ham in it.

They also pay great attention to their minced ham.

They use Iberico ham.

Those pigs feed on acorns.

Wow...

Why are you so knowledgeable?

I seem to be having my meals wrong all this time.

I studied in Australia.

Not only do they have many high-end restaurants

but also wineries.

I used two summer vacations

to travel through all wineries in Australia.

Drinking, eating cheese and steak.

I interacted with chefs in different restaurants every day.

As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

Wow!

Do you know so much about wine as well?

I can't really so that I know a lot about it.

I only know a thing or two about it.

However, in comparison with Australian wines

I prefer Italian red wine which has a longer history.

Sadly, we can't have wine today.

We're all driving, apart from Xiao Guan.

It won't be good to order wine.

You're my idol.

My idol, please give me some advice.

What other wine in this restaurant is nice?

I plan to have some the next time when I come in a taxi.

- Okay. - Since your idol is here

he should tell you which wine goes with the panna cotta

or which wine should be paired with which dish

just to demonstrate his knowledge?
