Episode 14 recap: Fu Gui Hua helped Hao Yun Lai open a restaurant.
Fu Gui Hua helped Hao Yun Lai open a restaurant.Fu Gui Hua and Hao Yun Lai discussed the idea of renting a teahouse. The customer flow was decent, but Fu Gui Hua couldn't think of a suitable business to run. When Hao Yun Lai heard this, he immediately started arguing with Fu Gui Hua, bluntly stating that they were not suitable for entrepreneurship at their age.
Fu Gui Hua mentioned that she also wanted to enjoy life, but she was doing it for the sake of their children. Hao Xin didn't need to worry anymore, and Hao Mei was becoming more mature, but not yet ready to take on responsibilities. Fu Gui Hua believed that running the Thaihe Building teahouse could be a backup plan for Hao Mei in case she didn't want to pursue acting in the future. Hao Yun Lai didn't agree with the idea of considering every detail for the children, but when it came to business operations, he analyzed that they needed to maintain a certain customer flow and shouldn't make drastic changes. He suggested incorporating his famous stir-fried noodles into the teahouse's menu, which Fu Gui Hua found very appropriate. However, when it came to managing the teahouse, Hao Yun Lai couldn't think of anyone in the family who could be there all the time. Fu Gui Hua raised an eyebrow and said it should be Hao Yun Lai himself, to which he strongly objected.
Hao Mei was served instant noodles by Wan Hao, and after tasting them, she expressed that they were delicious and much better than the stir-fried noodles her father made. However, just as Hao Mei was enjoying the noodles, Wan Hao informed her that they were all gone. This made Hao Mei very angry, as her appetite had been awakened but was suddenly denied. She became eager to go out to eat. When Wan Hao heard that Hao Mei wanted to treat him, he was delighted, but Hao Mei had a condition: she would treat him, but he had to pay the bill! Meanwhile, Fu Gui Hua and Hao Yun Lai were discussing the management of the teahouse. Fu Gui Hua mentioned their previous disagreement when they first started their business. Fu Gui Hua suggested opening a clothing store, but Hao Yun Lai wanted to open a restaurant. They had to resort to drawing lots to decide, and Hao Yun Lai said he had no regrets. However, Fu Gui Hua expressed her guilt because when she wrote the options on the slips of paper, all four slips said "clothing store." So when Hao Yun Lai drew the slip that said "clothing store," Fu Gui Hua acted outwardly excited but felt extremely guilty inside. Now, Fu Gui Hua wanted to make it up to Hao Yun Lai, and she also wanted to find something for him to do, fearing that he might suffer from retirement syndrome once he stepped down.
While Fu Gui Hua and Hao Yun Lai were engrossed in their conversation, the landline phone at home rang. Hao Yun Lai answered the call, and to his surprise, it was Yang Chun Hong on the other end! Hao Yun Lai was taken aback. After a few words, Yang Chun Hong hung up without giving Hao Yun Lai a chance to react.
Wang De Cai was curious as Yang Chun Hong had previously mentioned that she wouldn't reveal herself under normal circumstances. Yang Chun Hong explained that she wanted to startle Hao Yun Lai so that he would keep wondering about the purpose of the phone call and wouldn't have the energy to observe what Wang De Cai was doing. This way, Wang De Cai could focus on registering the new company. Wang De Cai exclaimed, "Brilliant!" Yang Chun Hong mentioned that being around Hao Yun Lai during that time had made her grow a lot. Afterward, Yang Chun Hong left.
Jin Ying Jie prepared to take the intoxicated Hao Xin home. On the way, Hao Xin kept insisting that he had seen Jin Ying Jie somewhere before. Jin Ying Jie subsequently called Hao Mei and asked her to come out and pick up Hao Xin. Hao Mei had just finished dinner with Wan Hao and returned home. She then went to pick up Hao Xin and asked Wan Hao to take Jin Ying Jie home.
The next day, while Jin Ying Jie was at work, he felt embarrassed about the previous night's events. Hao Xin bluntly stated that it was his own fault. When Hao Xin entered his office, he noticed that someone had cleaned it. Jin Ying Jie admitted that he had done it himself. Then, Jin Ying Jie staged a play where the two of them shared common interests, which deeply moved Hao Xin. Hao Yun Lai officially took over the visitation, and Fu Gui Hua approved of his management philosophy. However, they both knew there were significant costs involved that needed careful consideration. On the other hand, Hao Xin was surprised to find that all of Jin Ying Jie's hobbies coincided with his own. He even gave Jin Ying Jie a nickname and they became close, which made Jin Ying Jie feel a bit awkward.
Hao Xin then took Secretary Jin to the Entertainment Quick Snap magazine and met Li Li Li. As soon as they entered, Hao Xin first exchanged pleasantries with Li Li Li's secretary.
