Below is the youtube link for the promotion of 'Rising with the wind'.
Four members of the cast Gong Jun, Elaine Zhong/Zhong Chuxi, Wu Xuanyi and Gao Zhiting participated on an episode of Hello Saturday in the month of February, 2023 aired on mango tv....... It is not subbed but being a games/ variety show its still comprehensible.

Aww he entrusted his precious cacti to her, she better take care of it. 😂😂😂

I was just planning to dig up the youtube link for the promotional episode on mgtv of hello saturday.. It was a good episode.

Boss all the way..... Only Boss gets the better of Xu Si... It was so 🤣🤣🤣

I love that both CPs ships are ready to sail... Yang Jian is a sweetheart 🥰and Xu Si is quite smitten, he even gifted his precious cacti plant😂😂

But it won't be easy because even if she has feelings for him.. Just now he holds her future in his hands, so based on the conversation Jiang Hu had with Ms. Yue she may not be ready to confess her feelings.... But atleast both feel attraction for each other... They can find their way.

* Jiang Hu apologizes to Zhaoyang for her previous behavior and offers to start a fresh.... Both girls have a reluctant truce.

* Xu Si calls Jiang Hu and finds her inebriated again, so he comes over at the restaurant to pick her up and drives her back to her factory.... Jiang Hu has very low alcohol tolerance and doesn't remember what she did under its influence.

*Next morning she finds Xu si's tie in her bed.. This makes for a great parallel to episode 1...At that time Jiang Hu was left holding his tie, but the way she returns the tie this time, reflects the great divide between them, he is her investor and she can't have any romantic relationship with him.

* Xu Si is already half way in love.. He also sends her one of the orchid cacti which signifies 'reminiscence'... But Jiang Hu is not ready for that.

*Xu Si is very happy during this period... He is also probably wearing the new suit gifted by Jiang Hu.

* Jiang Hu wants Xu Si to free Zhao Yang from her contract with T T media so that she can work as a designer for Tengyue... That ain't going to happen yet sis, Dream on!!! Xu si in love hasn't given up his shark business mentality yet.

* For Xu Si, presently an influencer Zhao Yang is more important than Zhao Yang the designer.. So he let's Ms. Song of TT media to handle Zhao Yang's situation... Obviously Ms.Song refuses to terminate Zhao Yang's contract.

* Jiang Hu not to give up comes up with methods to sell her current inventory by streaming their product rainbow coloured shoes along with the paint bag used by Lord Zhao Yang... On display are two pairs of shoes on which Zhaoyang has painted...

*Yang Jian had 'borrowed' Zhao Yang's hand painted shoes without her permission so she gets angry at him... Poor Yang Jian is locked out of her house, she changes the lock to her door... Yang Jian tries to apologize and waits outside her door till she cools down and opens the door for him ❤❤. Earlier Zhao Yang had given new pair of Aneda shoes to him as part of market research, Yang Jian kept polishing those shoes beaming from ear to ear... He later tried cooking the same scallion pancakes that Zhao Yang used to like in school... He is a man worth keeping, I hope Zhao Yang wakes up and realises this soon.

* Gao Yi suggests a lawyer to Zhao Yang for breaking her non - compete agreement with Aneda and breaking her working contract with TT media so that Zhao Yang can go back to designing shoes...

* Breaking contract with Aneda will be easy and less expensive as they breached the agreement by terminating her but it would be costly and difficult to break her contract with T T media as they have helped her earn more so it's difficult to prove their fault.

*Yang Jian overhears Zhao Yang's telephonic conversation with her lawyer... I am sure Yang Jian would try helping Zhao Yang monetarily..

Episode 17 and 18

Did Zhaoyang and Jiang Hu make up at the hotpots dinner? Looks like some of their grievances were aired out.... Did Jiang Hu deliberately purchase the pancakes from Mrs. Chen so the Zhaoyang couldn't purchase hers... That is sneakily devious, Remind me not to make an enemy of Jiang Hu, she has so many tricks up her sleeves... Oh!!!! Jiang Hu and Xu Si are co parenting their cacti plants, one at his place and one at her place, let's see who kills the cactus first😆😆😆. .... These episodes were full of sweet moments, looks like both the CPs ships are ready to sail ⛵...

Memorable dialogue
Episode 18
Yang Jian - Are you sure this is good for Zhaoyang and won't affect her?

Jiang Hu - Yes, I'd go to hell if I lied.

Yang Jian - wait. I didn't get her permission. Will she be angry?

Jiang Hu - of course she will. Don't worry, If she beats you up, I'll pay for your treatment.

I will insert a famous quote suitable for Jiang Hu's current condition.... If you cannot change the direction of the wind, adjust your sails.... .....Jiang Hu is currently adjusting her sails.

More thoughts in spoiler tag below

Thanks for the list and your continuous endeavor to make music more enjoyable by providing English translation.

I liked the slower version more but so far till episode 16..only in two episodes i.e episode 8 and 15 they have used more melodious song other episodes have the regular upbeat theme.. So I was curious if there was anything different about these two episodes.

Actually I meant to ask why only two episodes(episode 8 and episode 15) till now, have changed opening theme songs ???? Is there a special significance of these two episodes?

That's ture, what I meant was the complex business talks from beginning of the series is getting lesser, now all the business strategies are more easy to understand and enjoy for all viewers... So viewers can enjoy the series without getting lost in financial talks.

Great I will check out the whole thread of Titbits in the discussion section again.... I feel 8.5 rating is good, making it a very good drama but not an excellent one in my estimation as I feel it has some minor flaws.

But I think ratings cannot be trusted, it always contains some personal bias and personal preferences....... Data should be more reliable judge for a drama's performance... Even though fans are manipulating that too, to a certain extent.... I feel rank on different chinese ranking sites, how many new followers the actors obtained on weibo during this drama, heat index/ view counts of the drama etc..may be a better indicator of a drama's performance.

I wish success for all Cast and Crew of this Drama... Hopefully they will get more opportunity in future.

I like Gao Zhiting's acting this is the first time I am watching his drama... But he has a very wholesome smile... He is a perfect cast for a 'boy next door' who is caring and warm hearted.

I am sure both Zhao yang and Yang Jian will have very sweet love story ahead.

Yeah Xu Si and Zhao yang are closed off and aloof due to their childhood.

And did you notice the way Boss looked at Xu Si as if what a weird 'Human' tip toeing around me as if I would degrade my self to chase that Human😂😂😂

Blood is definitely thicker than water, Mr. Pei and Jiang Hu sure share same sneaky genes.

Xu Si is impressed by Jiang Hu's accomplishments... He feels proud of her whenever his assistant reads Jiang Hu's progress reports.

I agree it is getting better, those afraid of too much business talk can now enjoy more sentimental and emotional side of the story.

These episodes are getting more emotional, I loved how old employees showed their respect and support for the factory... Sly Mr. Pei and Jiang Hu were marvelous.
