> Octogenarian, and The 90S Recap
Guo Jiangdong severely lectured Guo Tielin. Guo Tielin was filled with self-reproach, feeling that he had owed Guo Sanshuang too much over the years. Guo Jiangdong advised him to stay at home and wait for Guo Sanshuang, stating that only by being together as a family could they feel secure. Guo Tielin was unwilling and wanted to go get his money back. Guo Jiangdong tried desperately to stop him but couldn't.
Guo Tielin showed up early in the morning with a brick to confront Boss Zhu. Boss Zhu sent his subordinates to subdue him. Guo Tielin pleaded with Boss Zhu to return the property deed and money to Guo Jiangdong, stating that he wanted to repay the money through his own efforts. Boss Zhu was relentless and forcibly drove Guo Tielin away.
Ye Xiaomei learned that Guo Tielin had gone to confront someone, worried that he might get beaten, and immediately sought help from the police. Since Ye Xiaomei could not provide concrete evidence, the police refused to open an investigation. Having no other options, Guo Tielin chose to jump from a building. The police received the alarm and immediately took Ye Xiaomei to the scene. Guo Jiangdong rushed over upon hearing the news.
Without a word, he climbed to the rooftop and earnestly pleaded with Guo Tielin. Guo Tielin wanted to get Guo Jiangdong's house and money back, but it was in vain, and he no longer wanted to live. Guo Jiangdong didn't care about these things; he only wanted to live a peaceful life with him. After Guo Jiangdong patiently and earnestly persuaded Guo Tielin, he finally felt a little relieved and completely gave up the idea of suicide.
The police rescued him. Guo Jiangdong almost fainted from extreme anxiety; fortunately, Ye Xiaomei and Wu Hui supported him in time. Guo Sanshuang saw his colleagues gathered together watching a video of Guo Tielin attempting suicide by jumping from a building. His heart was filled with mixed emotions. His colleagues strongly condemned Guo Tielin's actions. Guo Sanshuang argued with them reasonably, admitting that Guo Tielin was his father. His colleagues sneered at him and hurled insults.
Guo Sanshuang could no longer tolerate it and lashed out at his colleagues. Guo Sanshuang decided to resign and go home. No matter how much his friends pleaded with him, it was no use. His friends guessed that he was returning to deal with family matters and promised to welcome him back anytime. As soon as Guo Sanshuang returned, he asked Ye Xiaomei to lead the way to the villa to pick up his grandfather.
Guo Jiangdong had packed his luggage, intending to leave with Guo Tielin. Guo Sanshuang suddenly came in, wanting to take Guo Jiangdong to stay elsewhere. Guo Tielin casually asked a question, and Guo Sanshuang unleashed all his anger on him, calling him a jinx. Guo Jiangdong stopped Guo Sanshuang and vigorously defended Guo Tielin. Without another word, Guo Sanshuang took Guo Jiangdong and left. Guo Sanshuang brought Guo Jiangdong to a dilapidated small hotel.
The room was very small, with only two beds. Outside the window, neon lights flashed, making it difficult for Guo Jiangdong to sleep. Guo Sanshuang gave him an eye mask and promised to find a new place to move out quickly. Guo Jiangdong was not used to living there, but Guo Sanshuang was very optimistic. Guo Jiangdong wanted to go help at his apprentice Xue Ding's restaurant. Guo Sanshuang strongly disagreed, but Guo Jiangdong had made up his mind.
Guo Jiangdong arrived at Xue Ding's restaurant early in the morning. Xue Ding mistakenly thought he had come to borrow money and offered to transfer it to him on the spot. Guo Jiangdong explained his purpose, wanting to work at the restaurant. However, the restaurant was not short of staff; the kitchen had already been outsourced, and the front desk was also fully staffed.
Just as Guo Jiangdong was about to leave, Xue Ding agreed to let him stay, wanting to use Guo Jiangdong's name for advertising. Guo Jiangdong dared not admit that he had lost his sense of taste and did not want to cook in the kitchen. Xue Ding insisted that he make his signature dish to draw customers and even had him wear a gold medal for a photo. Guo Jiangdong officially started working at Xue Ding's restaurant.
Xue Ding formally introduced him and asked him to make his signature stinky mandarin fish for guests on the spot. Guo Jiangdong felt nervous but still braced himself and prepared the fish. Xue Ding immediately served it to the guests. The guests complained that the fish was too terrible to eat. Xue Ding took a bite, found it inedible, and told the waiter to quickly remove it. Soon after, more guests reported that the fish was too unpalatable.
Xue Ding quickly apologized to everyone with a forced smile. At the end of the day's work, Xue Ding had a total of ten plates of fish removed and instructed the waiter not to tell Guo Jiangdong. Xue Ding personally cooked two dishes and wanted to have a drink with Guo Jiangdong. Xue Ding deliberately put a lot of salt when cooking the fish. Guo Jiangdong tried it with a serious demeanor and highly praised his cooking skills.
Xue Ding instantly realized that Guo Jiangdong had lost his sense of taste, but he did not expose him directly. Guo Sanshuang bought a magnetic therapy massage pillow for Guo Jiangdong. Guo Jiangdong felt very comfortable, but his anger had not subsided, and he was still unwilling to forgive Guo Sanshuang. Guo Sanshuang excitedly boasted that he had sold thirty-seven massage pillows today. Guo Jiangdong asked him to try it too.
Guo Sanshuang wanted Guo Jiangdong to go home and rest once he earned money. Guo Jiangdong bragged that his cooking skills were as good as ever. Guo Sanshuang had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Guo Jiangdong felt very pained for him.
