Liang You'an, although this wedding is a little sloppy,
but our Liang Tao has her own home now.
What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?
You are not still single. Right?
Hello, Uncle and Auntie.
- I am Song Sanchuan. - Hello.
He is my boyfriend.
Isn't he Jiaojiao's teammate?
Isn't he too young?
He is younger than me. He's 24 years old.
You are Sanchuan?
Here, help me to take a photo of You'an and me.
- Come, let's check out that rooftop terrace. - Okay.
Look at how weak you are. Seriously.
Look! You can see the sunset from here.
There are always more people who want to watch the sunrise than the sunset.
It's probably because, compared to the sunrise, the sunset seems to be tainted with a little sadness.
Let's watch the sunset together today. We'll have one less thing to feel sad about.
So beautiful. When I look at sunsets in the future, I'll think of this.
- Let's move in together. - Let's move in together.

Hugs.
What's going on? You opened the door before I even knocked.
- I could hear your footsteps. - Really?
It's true.
Not true. I've been glued to the peephole and looking out for you. I really miss you!
Are those six bottles of shampoo a gift for me?
Yes, it's your favorite brand. I keep seeing you using it. I bought more for you.
How did you know I've been wanting to try several fragrances for a long time?
- Try them all. - Thanks.
- Does it taste good? - Yes.
- What're you doing? - Okay.
Try the soup. I simmered it for a long time.
The rehabilitation fee is paid in full.
- Got it. - Oh yes. There's also this.
Keep this card. I'll deposit the future prize monies from competitions into this.
You can use it however you want.
You want to support me?
Yes. I'll support you and also, the family.
When we decided to move in together, I planned to
go to the house that my mom left me, or rent a bigger one.
But you said that you're used to living here.
I was okay with it, but I'm afraid that I can't come back often because of competitions and training.
I can't take care of the living expenses. That's why...
If you really want to pay for the living expenses, we can apply for a single card,
deposit our money in there and spend it together.
- You can keep this card then. - I don't want.
- Don't, don't. Don't tempt me or I'll really accept this. - Accept it, please.
Song Sanchuan, let go.
Take it. These are the prize monies that you won from matches. Manage it on your own.
Is there really no chance?
If you want to use the money to buy presents, I'll gladly accept them.
Okay, then. I didn't successfully give it away.
- Do you know that I secured a new venue? - That fast?
- Want to check it out with me tomorrow? - Yes.
- Am I amazing? Praise me. - You're amazing.
Is this really a pink court?
Whether it's a commercial or professional level, our club is doing well. There are no shortcomings.
I was thinking we should open another.
I'll promote this site as a new healthy dating option for couples. I've already thought of the name.
- What is it? - TopLove.
- TopLove? - Yes.
- You know what it's nickname is? - What is it?
- Little Love. - Little Love?
I was thinking of using this opportunity to differentiate it from TopSmash.
We can also ensure the professional players' training time and courts.
Okay. You are really a business genius.
I think this Little Love can be a franchise club.
I told Alex that, from now on, we'll officially accept investors.
- It's a pity. - What's wrong?
If it wasn't raining today, I was thinking of asking my sports celebrity boyfriend to coach me in tennis.
- Why are you laughing? - Sports celebrity boyfriend? I feel a little flattered to hear this.
- You're the sports celebrity boyfriend. - Let's go.
My mom is celebrating her birthday this weekend. Do you want to go?
Okay. This weekend?
I should prepare something, then.
Thank you.
Give it to me.
I'm happy and can't quite adapt when I swiped my boyfriend's card.
Adapt quickly since you have a sports celebrity boyfriend.
Take a seat.
Auntie, let me introduce myself again. I'm Song Sanchuan.
I'm now a professional tennis player.
You are celebrating your birthday. I prepared presents for you.
I also don't know what to give. I prepared something practical.
Thank you. Sit and talk.
I heard from You'an that you like traditional Chinese painting very much.
I prepared a paperweight. See if you like it.
You are really thoughtful. I've not painted for a long time.
I still need to thank you. Sit, sit.
Auntie, I still have more. I chose two memory pillows for you.
It's good for the neck. See which you're used to sleeping on.
Thank you, thank you. Sit, sit.
Mom, don't keep staring at him.
The first thing he did when he woke up today was to take a bath and get changed.
He almost burned incense and prayed. Don't scare him.
That exaggerated? Am I that scary?
No, no. How could that be? What are you talking about?
Okay, you two sit and eat some fruit.
I'm going to the kitchen to cook. We can eat soon.
No need, Auntie. Since when does the birthday person cook?
Let me do it. We even bought the ingredients.
A young guy like you knows how to cook?
He knows. The food he cooks is delicious.
Yes. It's okay. Auntie, why not give it a try?
Okay. I have to trouble you then. Today, it's thanks to You'an.
No, no. I should cook. I'll go ahead, then.
Okay? Not bad. Right?
- How old is he? - Twenty three.
Oh! I got you a present, too.
You scared the hell out of me!
Let's not be superficial.
I prepared a practical gift for you.
[Personal insurance contract]
Is this a small fund for my retirement?
Yes.
You are so considerate.
If there's anything you can't find, let me know.
I can find them.
When you told me that you can cook, I didn't know what you would cook.
Looking at these now, you can really cook.
Actually, I haven't cooked in a while. I'm not sure if I got the seasoning right.
- Why don't you try first? - Okay.
It's not bad.
You'an can't cook. She might not even cook rice properly.
I can't cook but I know how to eat.
That's true.
Auntie, wishing you a happy birthday.
Thank you.
- Sit down. - Happy Birthday.
- Help yourselves. - Okay.
Go ahead and eat, too.
- Have some fish. - Okay.
- Eat more. - This portion is too big.
Thank you.
Have some beef.
It tastes good.
You'an, don't go back today.
Stay here to keep me company.
Okay.
Go back alone.
No problem.
My boyfriend is nice. Right?
Let me ask you something first.
Why did you attend their wedding?
You even took a photo with Liang Shu and that third-party's daughter.
Look at how happily you were smiling.
Isn't this an aerial shot?
It was a group photo. Do you understand?
I can't possibly be crying. Right?
Your smile is the happiest in the group photo.
One more thing.
Let me ask you.
I went to your place the other day to deliver Chinese bayberries.
This kid was there, too. Right?
What kid? His name is Song Sanchuan. He is my boyfriend.
I don't like the way you're calling him.
I waited at your place for a long time. He dared not come out. How's he not a kid?
And a few months ago, you urgently wanted to borrow a big sum of money from me.
It was a big sum of money.
Did you spend it on him?
That money was because we had a situation back then.
Didn't I withdraw my financial investments and pay you back?
Oh, he also paid me back.
Mom, he's not the kind who depends on me to support him.
He is the best tennis player now.
That's still the case.
When you both first met, he wasn't that good. Right?
What do you mean?
There are only two of us here. Just say whatever you want.
I'll be blunt today.
You got yourself such a young boyfriend.
If he were not successful in the future,
would he still willingly cook for you in the kitchen just like today?
If so, it's really your good fortune.
But if it's just like what you said, he's the best athlete with a bright future,
there's no telling whose blessing it'll be in the future.
Enjoy the benefits of the hard work of one's predecessors.
What do you want?
Do you want to be like me in the future?
I hate it when you are like this.
Because of your unhappy marriage,
you view everyone through a negative filter.
Now that you've stuck this thorn in my heart, you're satisfied. Right?
Liang You'an, when I gave you the wildcard,
you promised to honor my additional conditions later. You didn't forget, right?
Come to Y-Space Sports on Monday. We'll talk in person.
- The last four digits are 7551? - Correct.
Please fasten your seatbelt. Thank you.
Sir, can you open the back seat window slightly? Thank you.
Sure.
You scared me.
Why are you so fast?
What are you doing? Going out?
No. I received your itinerary and wanted to pick you up. I didn't expect you to be so fast.
What happened? Did the two of you quarrel again?
No.
I already admitted that I can't sleep without you.
Okay. Let's go back and sleep.
- What are you doing? - We should hug while we go back.
Okay, hug while we go back.
I like hugging the most.
Can you open the door?
Jiaojiao. Jiang Jiaojiao.
What are you doing?
Leaving for the New Year? Why are you taking so much luggage?
Peach and I plan to stop by Xiamen for our honeymoon after the match.
You have a really big heart.
You got married, but what about your house?
- Did you find one? - Anyway,
we're also staying together during the honeymoon.
We can save a month's rent. Isn't that so?
I will not be soft-hearted and help you find a place to stay.
Dad, I didn't even think about it. Don't worry.
Look after the house without any worries. I'm leaving.
Coming!
Hi, Uncle. I'm here to take Jiaojiao to the airport.
I'm still not used to calling you Dad.
Please give me some time to get used to it.
Up to you. I need time to get used to this as well.
Then, we'll make a move first, Uncle.
Be careful.
My dad even asked when we are renting a place.
Should we expedite this?
Renting an apartment is not that difficult, right?
I was wondering if it's a good idea to rent a place.
What do you mean?
You're always out competing when the tournament season starts. Right?
When you're back for training, you stay in the dorm during weekdays.
If we rent an apartment, we wouldn't live there for more than ten days.
We should live together even if it's just ten days.
If we can only live together for ten days a month,
we might as well stay in a hotel.
The hotel room rate is ¥300 to ¥500 a day.
It costs at least ¥5,000 a month.
We don't need to pay deposit or agent fees.
We can live wherever we want.
We can order takeout food whenever we want.
That sounds reasonable.
Yes. I've been thinking about this for a few days.
We can treat this honeymoon as our experience.
Okay. Sounds like fun.
This feels new to me.
But can we stay in a nicer hotel?
No. Unless you have won enough prize money.
Winning a match to win a hotel stay.
Sounds a bit like supporting a family.
Get in the car first. I'll load the luggage.
We had an agreement when we gave you the wildcard.
I think it's not necessary to discuss this.
Song Sanchuan is now getting all the attention in the industry, thanks to that wildcard.
You agree, right?
So, you should assign his commercial contract to Y-Space Sports.
We can help each other to achieve success. It's also a kind of good news.
One of my most important tasks at Y-Space Sports included endorsements.
I know this very well.
The contract is five years. Such a low contract fee
and he still needs to endorse the full line of products.
Do you think this is reasonable?
Song Sanchuan has the capabilities. Everyone is aware of this.
But if he hadn't participated in the tournament circuit,
he might not have been visible for a year or two.
So, you want to use an underdog contract to sign a superdog?
Is my understanding correct?
I know many sports brands approached you recently.
After all, during this month,
Song Sanchuan's name has been very eye-catching.
It's been a long time since our sports circle has been buzzing with such excitement.
Why did I call you here today to chat?
This kind of promotional activity should be handled by Vice President Jiang,
but this wildcard and additional condition were promised to me by you.
I even gave President Gao a letter of guarantee that Y-Space Sports will sign on Song Sanchuan
and at the best price, too.
Young Mr. Gao, I don't have the final say in this.
I'll reply to you after I've discussed it with the rest.
I would like to know if there's any leeway to negotiate the conditions of this contract.
Give me a quick reply and the leeway can be slightly bigger.
We work fast. Let's not drag this out.
Okay. I'll make a move.
Is it a total of five boxes?
- Are they all here? - Yes. One, two, three, four, five.
They're all here.
Brother Dahui, I'll leave your trolley at your door.
Take these three and attach them to the heads.
I forgot to ask you.
You went to meet You'an's mom. How did it go?
It was fine. Her mom was pretty cordial with me.
Except that after I left, they had a talk and it didn't end well.
She probably complained that you're too young.
Not totally. Her mom finds me a little... unreliable.
Unrelia... That shouldn't be.
Your results have been improving and your scores are increasing.
Shouldn't she find you more reliable instead?
It's precisely this reason that she finds me unreliable.
This is an insightful mother, not ordinary.
My darling told me it's because there's a hurdle that her parents can't cross.
A person planted a tree but another enjoys the shade?
Something like that.
That's why, being younger by ten years makes me even more unreliable.
It's a difficult situation.
But let's put ourselves in her shoes.
If I had a daughter with a younger boyfriend like you, I'd find him unreliable, too.
But you must have confidence.
Like what I said, whether a man is reliable or not, his age is not a factor.
Yes, that's right.
With such a faithful man like you parading in front of me every day,
I've long been influenced by you.
But it really makes a difference having seen someone like you.
I don't deny that.
If there is a world ranking just like in tennis,
I will definitely be in the top three.
Oh no! It's time. I need to go pick up my darling from work.
Do this on your own.
"Pick up my darling from work."
My darlings, you haven't gotten off work yet. Hang on for two more hours.
Tired?
Where did you go today? Why so tired?
I went to Y-Space Sports.
You went to Y-Space Sports?
They want you.
They want me?
What do you mean?
So, there is an additional condition for that wildcard match?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I felt it was unnecessary to tell you at that time.
And it might increase pressure on you.
If I sign this contract, you can call it even with Y-Space Sports?
- There is nothing else, right? - Nothing else.
Now, they just want to seal this contract
with an inequality clause. They're obviously taking advantage.
Do you find the amount they're offering too low?
It's ridiculously low.
It's five years with a precondition that you maintain your results and you'll get ¥300,000 per year.
It's fixed with no increment. There may be unknown hidden risks, too.
Do you find this reasonable?
Here, eat this sweet part first.
I think...
I think if it's a problem with money, I can sign it.
After all, that wildcard match was really important.
Just return what we owe them. Nothing's wrong with that.
You're right.
But it really isn't about whether the amount is high or low.
It's whether the amount is on par with your value.
As an athlete, your results ultimately count.
On the premise that you can sustain the losses, that's the reasonable value.
Otherwise, your mindset will be unbalanced later.
You're right. I didn't think it as thoroughly as you.
I fully understand the way they work.
But never mind, we're not in a hurry.
He said we can negotiate.
If we can't avoid it, no matter what, I'll fight for better conditions for you.
As long as you're aware. I'm okay signing it.
This isn't something difficult that we can't overcome.
Indeed. Negotiate? I'll do it. I'm the best at it.
I'll hold it for you.
This is the sweet part?
- You got it. - For you.
We signed the contract for this venue.
I just transferred the money for the rental. Can we have an opening day?
Did Liang Tao finish preparing the promotional material for this new sports hall?
It's in the computer. She explained to me.
Okay. Send them to me later.
It's a call from Director Li. Let me take it.
Hello, Director Li. I was about to call you.
Thank you for your support by increasing our budget.
We've picked our new venue.
The coaches and staff are in place, too.
Once we've decided on the opening date...
Don't rush to open.
My purpose of calling is to communicate this to you.
We may have to postpone Xunzhi's investment temporarily.
Postpone?
Director Li, we've already spent the money on the preliminary preparations for TopLove.
I don't understand what you mean.
We can still invest the money
but we want to include operating rights now.
If you refuse to concede on this, we will have to reconsider.
Director Li, we already agreed on this earlier when you wanted to invest in us.
We will only accept investors' money.
We'll handle the operations on our own, just like TopSmash.
You decided to invest in us because you saw that we were doing well.
That's true. But recently, I heard many people say that you have a lot of questionable outlets.
Anyway, consider this. If you don't agree, we'll collaborate next time.
He hung up?
They can't do this to us now.
We've already spent the money.
I heard from Ming Yu that our investor wants to withdraw.
Why?
He suddenly wants to include operating rights.
I was annoyed.
I didn't concede.
Aren't they just trying to raise the price?
Our venue, operations and recruitment have started. They're making unreasonable demands now?
Isn't this a breach of contract? Can we sue them?
How? They transferred the initial payment to us.
And they didn't explicitly state that they were going to withdraw their investment.
They only said they're postponing it.
If we sue them, we will only be wrangling over it.
Do we have a backup investor?
Jiang Jie gave me a call out of the blue today.
He said he can represent Y-Space Sports to fill in this void.
Why did he look for us at this time?
You'an, I asked you here to discuss investing in your club.
I don't care if your investor is withdrawing or not.
Y-Space Sports is willing to invest in your club.
I'm not sure if Alex told you this clearly.
We're only accepting monetary investment.
We won't give up our operating rights.
Of course, I fully accept this
but we have conditions too.
The percentage of our investment must be the highest.
And we must have decision-making authority on specific matters.
Let me finish first.
Personally, I feel that TopSmash will be able to rise up.
Currently, tennis is becoming more common in China
but every city has its problems.
It's difficult to distinguish between good and bad clubs.
Even fewer clubs are making a brand out of it.
Didn't you say this earlier?
Your club's development will not be limited to a particular city.
If this is the plan, Y-Space Sports is very willing to invest.
Furthermore, Y-Space Sports' ability to establish something has been proven.
Collaborating with us is your best bet.
But today, it's the first time that I felt
he's negotiating this collaboration with me on equal grounds.
Although his conditions are taking advantage of our situation, too.
But it's still Y-Space Sports' money.
When they shut us down previously, they didn't care about us at all.
If we only consider the money, we need to select the most suitable partner. It's the same, no matter who.
Also, Y-Space Sports is a good national brand.
Jiang Jie's foresight in strategy is very accurate.
Today, he said he is optimistic about us and mentioned long-term collaboration.
But the more I think about this,
the more I'm unwilling to let them provide emergency aid.
Otherwise, we'll be forced to compromise on a lot of things.
It's not a good start to a collaboration.
I still find it strange.
Regarding that investor, stopping the investment now doesn't benefit them.
Why is he doing this?
Jiang Jiaojiao?
- What's the matter? - When I was competing just now, I heard the organizers gossiping.
Did something happen to TopLove?
Bad news is spreading quite fast.
We just asked around. It's Young Mr. Gao.
He has been telling people outside that TopSmash is stubborn and won't listen to others.
And that we do things completely unconventional.
He also said we're holding the operating rights just to take investors' money for trial and error.
He also said TopSmash was lucky
because we met Song Sanchuan. The next person will definitely lose money.
- Why would he say this? - No idea.
Who knows what kind of bad things he's up to again?
Okay, I got it.
Mr. Jiang, since when did you become a good teammate who holds hands with Young Mr. Gao?
Who did you hear this from?
He got my investor to pull out of the deal.
And you immediately said you wanted to help me to fill the gap.
I almost believed that you sincerely wanted to discuss a collaboration.
You'an,
I know that Gao Li made a decision in front of the president to sign Song Sanchuan.
But I didn't know he was playing dirty tricks behind our backs.
No matter how useless I am,
it's impossible for me to work with Gao Li to set a trap for you.
I'm bitterly disappointed that you think of me this way.
If I misunderstood you, I apologize.
But even if you two are not in cahoots, there's no way I can work with Y-Space Sports.
Does it have nothing to do with Jiaojiao's father?
It probably had nothing to do with him.
So, Young Mr. Gao is not targeting our club.
He's targeting me. Right?
That's just the way he is.
It's like that mannequin incident in the previous marathon.
He could only play dirty tricks behind our backs.
Isn't it easy to solve this problem?
I'll sign the contract and it will be okay?
No way.
The more you shouldn't sign it at times like this.
I don't want to collaborate with them.
I don't want to.
Gao Li!
Keep your voice down, don't scare my fish away.
Are you the one who dissuaded the investor of TopLove?
I say, Mr. Jiang. Think carefully before you speak. Take note of your position. Okay?
If we get this right, it's a win-win for us.
I'm interested in Song Sanchuan.
I want to sign on the most popular athlete,
and you want to invest in their club.
I think this is a very profitable business partnership.
Get it right and we'll hit it off.
This is known as the break-up of a business partnership.
Just because of your unreliable action,
my reasonable suggestions were treated as ulterior motives.
Is Liang You'an that tough?
She would rather the club lose money than compromise?
Looks like Song Sanchuan is more important to her than the club.
My choice is correct, then.
Young Mr. Gao, your guest has arrived.
Please enter.
[Y-Space Sports Product Endorsement Agreement]
I really didn't collude with Mr. Jiang.
I can only say that we've had some tacit understanding over the years.
It is you that I am interested in.
Mr. Jiang is interested in your club. There are no conflicts.
You can sign up with Y-Space Sports for both.
I have no say in the affairs of the club.
I am here today to talk only about me.
Just give me an honest answer.
If I sign this endorsement contract,
will you stop interfering with our investors?
Why did you come back? Aren't you staying at the dormitory today?
I have something...
- Want some water? - No, thanks.
I went to Y-Space Sports today, and...
I signed the endorsement contract.
[Y-Space Sports Product Endorsement Agreement]
The conditions are much better now. They increased the endorsement fee. The contract is amended from 5 to 3 years.
I thought I should sign it as soon as possible. It's not a big deal.
Song Sanchuan, didn't I tell you that
I'm figuring out how to solve the problem?
Don't bother about changing investors or negotiating for a better contract.
This is normal negotiations, push and push tactics.
And then?
You couldn't keep your composure and went alone to sign the agreement. Aren't you giving them what they want?
Don't feel wronged and act rashly.
Isn't this the fastest way to solve the problem now that I've signed this contract?
This is the least damaging approach for our club.
Yes, you can continue your search for new investors.
But wouldn't that take time and money, too?
I'm clearly aware of our situation now.
I know better what kind of difficulties you are facing now.
I'm willing to have personal losses rather than for you to face them alone.
You don't understand what I really care about.
- Why did you take the liberty to decide? - What do you mean I don't understand?
I...
And ultimately, this contract is my business.
- Can't I make my own decisions? - No.
Especially when it's something so major. You could have, at least, discussed it with me!
I don't want the club to be implicated because of me. I didn't want to make it difficult for you.
You don't have to. I don't need you to solve problems in such a sacrificial way.
You told me before.
You said you'd listen to me.
Did you listen to me today?
You didn't even say anything. I'm speechless.
I'm the one who should be speechless. You can't accept it. Right?
I took care of this problem, not you.
Or you can't accept that I will become better than you?
It's meaningless when you say this.
I don't want to quarrel with you. Go back to your dormitory.
Remember to stamp your seal in it.
- Why are you back? - Why are you back?
I don't know what's wrong with Jiaojiao.
He insisted on planting a peach tree in the dormitory.
Isn't he on honeymoon now? He asked me to come over to water the tree.
I've been watering it for so long. Are there any seeds in here?
From the way you are treating the tree, it'll be weird if it survives.
What happened? Did you quarrel with Sister?
Anyway, I was right.
I won't go back. I won't apologize.
No matter who's right, I'm definitely on your side.
How about this? I'll buy some alcohol. Let's have a good chat when I'm back.
Remember to water it for me!
