Hello Gorgeous
Episode 2
Why didn't you mention this earlier?
My dancing is very ugly.
You will have no problem if you dance with me.
Go.
Let's go.
My good daughter.
Don't do anything foolish.
Daddy will never agree to it.
Hear me?
Dad,
you are blocking the women's restroom. It's embarrassing!
My stomach hurts.
Drink some water and take a break.
I will never agree to it.
Don't do anything foolish. Did you hear me?
Go.
It's not your turn yet?
We have been waiting for a long time.
My daughter is here too.
Your daughter is here for the audition too?
We have been waiting for a long time and it's still not our turn yet.
That's right.
♫ You used the best age ♫
♫ and the most beautiful heart ♫
♫ to give me a love that gives me goosebumps. ♫
♫ You gave me romance and warmth. ♫
♫ You followed me the whole way. ♫
♫ Together, we created the landscape of the future. ♫
Will this really do?
Don't worry.
They just want to see your coordination.

♫ You gave me romance and warmth. ♫
Excuse me.
♫ Together, we created the landscape of the future. ♫
Your qualification is not bad.
But, I think your style needs some development,
so our company might need to spend a lot of effort to create your image.
However, if you can accept 3 months of work without pay...
I'm sorry. I believe I am already at a semi-professional level.
I'm not an amateur.
Therefore, it's not necessary to work as a volunteer.
Alright, we will think it over.
Thank you.
I think we were not bad. Let's go.
Li Zhen! Li Zhen!
Their reputation is worthless.
What was that about not good enough style?
They are only using excuses.
I'm the one choosing who to work for.Not the other way around.
They have no taste, then
their loss is another company's gain.
Exactly! Why should we have anything to do with such a lousy company?
Let's fire them.
No need. I think you are already recruited.
Me?
Did you forget?
We danced together.
I think they rather like you.
I was so foolish as to dance with you.
How do you know that I will be recruited?
Intuition.
Intuition?
- Is that all? There isn't anymore?- Yes!
Me!
I'm number twenty, Le Yao!
You...
Why are you dressed like this?
Nobody told me I can't dress this way.
Little girl, if you are trying to call attention to yourself...
I am not calling attention to myself.
I simply have confidence in my body.
You're too young.
What you mean is that if the company hires me, the amount of time and money invested would not be worth it.
Smart.
That's easy!
As long as you can groom me into a great and popular model,
I don't need a salary for one year. I only need living expenses.
Well...
Young girl,
in the big city, are living expenses that cheap?
Then, I don't want the living expenses either!
I will figure it out myself!
I will sign you up.
Dad.
Dad! Get up!
Dad. Get up!
Le Yao, you can't dress like that!
My audition is already over.
You didn't wear that bikini for the audition, right?
No. I always listen to you.
That's good then.
Come, get up.
Strange, how did I fall asleep?
Didn't you say that your head hurt?
I put 3 Aspirins in your drink.
Our Le Yao is so filial.
How was it?
Are you going to get it?
No problem.
Really?
Let's go take a look.
Let's go.
I will now announce the names of those who made it.
Le Yao.
That's great.
Li Ao Fu.
Wu Jun Hao.
Great!
Sorry, may I ask if I could withdraw my application fee?
- Fang Nan- Ahh, I got in!
What do you mean?
- Li Ting Ting- I want my money back. I never meant to participate.
I can't make the decision on this.
Song Jiao Yang.
Isn't that you?
You already got in.
- Liu Si Nan.- Me?
Here, here, here! It's me!
- Seriously? Yay!- This is great!
Then will I get paid?
You are a model, doing catwalk. Of course there's pay.
- Dan Ni.- Here.
- Liu Shi Shi.- Here!
Why isn't Li Zhen's name in there?
He's so refined.
He also loves this profession.
Why did you guys not want him?
You speak so highly of him.How are you related to him?
Boyfriend?
His name isn't here. It's no mistake.
Brother Tian is our Feng Shang's top model.
Why would he bring in a competitor?
One mountain does not allow two tiger kings!
What you mean is
this is all Zhao Yu Tian's doing, right?
Boss. I...
What are you doing?
Why are you here?
I got in.
I was thanking Boss Luo for deciding to train me for free.
Really?
Are you here to thank me too?
Work hard.
Both of you have a bright future.
Thank you, Boss Luo.
Then, we'll go now.
Bao Lian, come into my office.
Why did you bring him out here?
Where did you go?
Of course I went to inspect the environment.
In the future, this will be my battlefield.
I want to rise to the top!
Are you that certain that you will be chosen?
I have been chosen.
What about the baby?
I'll work it out.
Whose baby is this?
Does he still drink milk?
So cute!
Bao Lian, I remember that
our employee benefits do not include baby formulas.
You support the child and I support you.
To train you, I'd have to pay for both of you.
Sorry. I can't do this.
Brother Luo, she...
She's looking after the baby on my behalf.
Come. Hand him over to me.
Be good. Be good. Be good.
This is my sister's baby.
She took care of the baby for me to appease me.
You actually didn't need to do this.
With your talents, there isn't any problem at all.
Didn't you say that you will treat meto a meal if you are accepted?
Let's go.
Come to my office.
- Check out his background.- Who?
Frankly, you deliberately criticised me
to keep me humble.
I knew sooner or later you would get someone to tell me.
So, I came here on my own.
If you need money,
I don't have any for the time being,
but what I can give you now is my brain and my body.
These are not the most important to me.
Of course, there is also my loyalty.
Loyalty?
From what I know,
every time you've spent a lot of effort to roast a duck,
Legend 21 would take it away from you.
Conveniently, I have a rival who works at Legend.
For me to choose to work for you,
I will of course want to help you to bring them down.
Looks like you have already done your homework in order to join us.
The show for ANNO is a good opportunity.
But, in my opinion,
you should find a suitable time to explain to everyone
the difference between ANNO and ANNA.
He is definitely not a simple guy.
Then he said let's make a deal.
That's all.
Is that so.
I was guessing on his intentions.
Guess my luck wasn't bad.
It seems your social skills are quite outstanding.
What do you think about me?
Why did I get selected when all I did was to dance with you?
Number one. You have good qualifications.
Number two. You are too innocent.
Why does it sounds like
I'm too gullible?
That's partly what I mean.
You are too much.
I may look like I'm not knowledgeable.
But actually,
I've sometimes thought to myself,
one day when I have sufficient experience,
I will not let those people who bullied me get away.
You are referring to
Zhao Yu Tian?
Him?
He is not qualified.
Thank you for walking me home and also for the lamb kebabs.
Bye bye.
Bye.
What are you doing?
Isn't the door over there?
If I could go in through the door, why would I want to climb over the wall?
Don't you live here?
Yes,
but I'm using my friend's dorm.
So you should keep our voice low. We will be in trouble if we are caught.
You are really good.
Of course. Bye.
Bye.
Hey, I caught a live one!
Don't think that because I'm old, I can't see anything.
Jiao Yang?
Jiao Yang. Are you okay?
Get out, get out, get out.
Uncle, help me a little, please.
You are from this unit.
You are lucky I didn't fine you. Go.
Leave.
What are you laughing at?
I'm not laughing.
I'm trembling.
I really couldn't tell that
here stands a model who was shining brightly on a stage.
I also couldn't tell that
you were that glamorous model from that day.
Wipe your mouth.
Oh no.
Xiao Xue isn't coming home tonight.
I'll be homeless again today.
Let's go for a drink then.
Two beers for you guys?
Yes, thank you very much.
This is a nice place.
- Thank you very much. How are you guys doing?- We're enjoying it very much.
Thank you, thank you.
Didn't you invite me here for a drink?
How did I become a professional dishwasher?
What's wrong with me for the past few days?
I have been doing chores every day.
In any case, you don't have any place to go to.
Wash a few glasses,
and tonight you won't have to sleep on the streets.
I'm sleeping here?
Yes.
This is where I take a rest.
I already told the boss.
Didn't you find your family already?
What's wrong?
You got kicked out again?
Yeah, so the two of us are compatriots, right?
But I'm a bit better than you.
At least I'm not a stranger in town.
Don't worry. I'll take care of you.
By the way, I forgot to ask you.
Shouldn't you be working at Legend?
How did you become homeless?
I was sabotaged.
Why?
Someone claimed my work was plagiarized.
Plagiarized?
It was my favorite teacher.
But he ended up backstabbing me.
Alright, then you sleep over there, and I'll sleep over here.
Thank you. Let me help you.
You didn't fight about it..
That's not like you.
Actually, I would not have stopped until it was all cleared up.
But now, I suddenly realized
similar incidents will occur in my future life.
If I spent all my time on this one thing,
then I won't have the energy to achieve my dreams.
So I must save my energy.
When I have the ability to disprove my opponent,
I definitely won't hold back.
Then tell me, what is your dream?
Open your hand.
SOS?
What does it mean?
Song of Sunshine.
It's going to be a fashion brand named after me.
What do you think?
Song of Sunshine,
Jiao Yang's Song.(Jiao Yang means sunshine)
A beautiful name.
No wonder when I saw you wearing those clothes that day, I started thinking that
this girl's talents are extraordinary.
Of course! I'm telling you, I have complete confidence in my designs.
I'm not bragging. Look.
Why didn't you say anything when you were washing glasses just now?
What's the point in talking about it?
Even though a design may look pretty on paper,
it takes numerous experiments and revisions to implement its spirit physically.
Sew and rip. Rip and sew.
Only by going through this back-and-forth process will a good piece of clothing emerge.
Many students are afraid their hands will get ugly.
They aren't willing to try multiple times.
But then how can they produce pretty clothing?
You're the only person I've told this secret to.
Don't tell anyone.
No problem.
There are only some frozen dumplings and tomatoes left in the refrigerator.
We can eat a little together.
That's alright.
- Teacher Bao Lian...- Just call me big sis.
I'm just older than you by a bit.
It seems like I'm a lot older, right?
What happened?
I wanted to fly too much.
I was afraid of being rejected by this circle after the age of 30.
So I got crazily addicted to all kinds of plastic surgeries.
In the end, a surgery failed.
To repair my face,
I spent almost all my savings.
Other than being on the runway, I don't know how to do anything else.
Frankly, I'm lucky that Romeo is giving me a way to feed myself.
Sister Bao Lian, I finally understand why you're helping me.
We have both run into bad luck.
Will you fly in my place?
I hope to see someone fulfill my unfinished dream.
My wings are not that strong either.
Because my husband wanted me to stay home and take care of the child, I couldn't get a nanny.
I have to do everything on my own.
Everyday is like fighting a battle.
However, the more he tries to make me a housewife, the more I'm going to doubly make sure I get back to myself.
Now, great. I'm free now.
But I have already lost my prime.
I'll just try my best. Stop thinking so much.
This is the little one who's holding you back?
Come, baby.
Let me take a look.
Leave him to me.
Sister Bao Lian, my baby and I will count on you from now on. We will both listen to you.
I'll fly however you want me to.
Alright.
As of today, everyone is contracted as Feng Shang's models.
Great. Great! Great!
I am a most easygoing boss.
I don't have any long speeches to make.
In any case, starting from today, you are Feng Shang's members.
You must be fully aware of that. Understand?
Yes!
Get down!
You just learned how to walk, and you already want to fly? You can die by falling!
None of your business.
Hey brat, if you were at another place, do you think I would have time to pay attention to you?
This is my territory.
Your territory?
Do you really regard yourself as the mafia?
Let me tell you. I'm also a model at Feng Shang.
At least you know that.
Listen carefully. From now on, I'm your mentor.
I will arrange for all of your training.
What?
Teaching you is my duty.
You'd better listen to what I say.
Also, before you say anything, you must call me Teacher Zhao first.
You!
The first lesson that I'm teaching you is not to disrespect your senior.
Including your expressions!
You are overweight.
Starting today, what you eat for all your three meals will be controlled by me.
If I tell you to eat vegetables, they you can't touch any meat.Understand?
Frankly, my favorite movies are about vampires.
I envy those lovers who can remain forever young.
What?
I always talk about myself.
I have never asked you how you felt or asked about your story.
My story?
It's a long story.
Let's sit down sometime and I will tell you all about it.
There's still four hours until we have to work at the bar.
Want to go shopping or watch a movie?
Watch a movie? You and me?
I wonder if anyone would think we are dating.
Can we not?
We haven't known each other for long.
How can we be dating?
I'm going to Xiao Xue's place later.
If I'm late to the bar later, please explain to the boss.
I'll go now.
Then when are we going to go watch a movie?
Next time! You can pick the time.
You guys can't get anything done.
We didn't get Zhao Yu Tian.
When is your design
going to be ready?
I can't set the release date!
President Li, we still have one more month before press conference.
- I think we still have time.- The problem is the Chairman
will be back in two days time. What am I going to tell him?
Furthermore, at the national trade fair,
our orders are 10 percent less than last year again!
Right now the overall economy is not that good. It's not easy to maintain the same sales volume.
The overall economy is not good? Then how come Dong Nan is doing better despite the overall trend?
Let me tell you. If the Chairman finds out, nobody will have it easy.
I will be going to Feng Shang in a while.
President Li, no matter what, I will confirm the event tomorrow. I won't drag it anymore.
Listen, everyone.
If it is not confirmed before the Chairman is back, go directly to HR for exiting procedures.
Don't come and look for me.

Everyone, clamp it properly.
Head, shoulder, hips,
calves, heels,
all must be right against the wall.
You... what's wrong with you?
Clamp it properly.
Aren't you experienced? Why are you training as a newbie?
This is my basic exercise every day.
I'm just doing it at a different place today.
Did you see? That's what character building is about.
Talent, potential, attitude, and malleability
determine if you are able to become a supermodel.
Please remember, sweating is just the first step.
Teacher, please explain why standing here for three hours will make a difference.
Can you teach something new?This is old-fashioned backward stuff.
Then what do you want to learn?
The facial expression at curtain call at the model competition.
Teacher, work with me, and say "Le Yao is the winner."
The winner is Le Yao.
Is this... is this real!?
Is this real?
See, Teacher? I can only look shocked. I don't know how to show happiness.
I'm about to get handicapped from training. Can you teach me this first?
Clamp it properly.
Clamp it tightly.
If anyone still thinks being a model is just to stand on the T-stage showing off,
you can just leave now.
I cannot satisfy your ignorant fantasies.
Change to another person then. Why let us go instead of you?
Has water gone into your brain?
I was going to go,
but today, the camera here will tell me
which one of you will be most likely to participate in next week's tour.
Tour?
♫ Your smile has a kind of mysterious power. ♫
♫ After a glimpse, my heart skips a beat. ♫
♫ Your glance emits a strong magnetic field, ♫
♫ making others lose their sense of direction. ♫
♫ Why is it like this? ♫
♫ What else can I do? ♫
♫ Giving up my wings, ♫
♫ I can only depend on you to fly. ♫
♫ Changing myself, ♫
♫ and getting hurt by a sharp point, ♫
♫ only then did I know that I should be stronger. ♫
♫ You want me to surrender ♫
♫ and be trapped in your gentle hands. ♫
♫ You want to control all of my dreams. ♫
♫ You want to treat me as a pet and raise me like one. ♫
♫ You've forgotten why you admired me in the first place. ♫
♫ You want me to surrender, ♫
♫ but I don't want to be like this. ♫
♫ I don't want to be binded by your promises. ♫
♫ There are some feelings that I shouldn't have by my side. ♫
♫ They should be put in the bottom of my heart, to be quietly admired. ♫
♫ Perhaps I only like to have these fantasies. ♫
♫ I only admire your gorgeous packaging. ♫
♫ Perhaps you're only infatuated with the image in the mirror. ♫
♫ You like that I love your appearance. ♫
♫ Why is it like this? ♫
You can see a strong determination in her eyes.
Ao Fu is not bad either.
Very bold, but that's another flavor.
That's another flavor.
Li Zhen is also quite capable.
Yu Tian has met his match.
One who doesn't have a competitor will fail.
Grab some time to relax.
Very good, very good, very good.
This is the first lesson, and we have such perfect performances.
As the boss, I'm very touched!
Boss, what's the tour like? Is it like making a commercial?
I can't reveal anything until the show starts.
But, I can guarantee it won't be a usual commercial show.
It's art. It's a bold challenge.
It's a visual feast full of creativity and drama.
At that time, all of the media will be there.
Everyone, show them what you've got.
That's great.
I want to shine.
Do you think that anyone can go to this event?
That's right. Those who want to go, come and register with me.
But you must join a special training class first.
It's RMB$5,000 per person.
There's a fee?
But we are new. Coughing up RMB$5,000 is a bit too much.
It's okay if you don't want to pay.
I have never made it difficult for those without money.
You can borrow from us and pay back later.
Isn't this fair?
The company can bear this cost.
It's not a problem of whether the company can bear it or not.
You are collecting fees underhandedly.
Underhandedly?
I think I'm very straight forward.
If you don't want to go, you don't have to register.
You have an option.
Right, Li Zhen?
I don't have the money. I'm not going.
I'll sign up.
You deduct from my future earnings, including hers.
Okay.
He's getting bolder.
You could even think of such an unethical idea?
So what?
Whether it's reasonable or not will depend on whether anyone pays up.
It's reasonable if someone pays up.
If the company wants to make money, why not just ask for training fees when you first hired them?
Who do you think you are?
Is the company only making money for you?
Stop pretending that you are a good person.
First ask yourself if you have that much weight!
Mr. Jiang, you'd better not anger me.
Anger you? So what?
Don't think Boss Luo will protect you.
In the end, you are also just a dog that he raised.
You!
Zhao Yu Tian!
Gentlemen argue but don't use violence.
If you did, you'd lose being in the right.
I'm not a gentleman.
You are not a gentleman, but at least you are a teacher.
You said you'd teach me. Is this what you teach?
You run away when you face problems. What is that?
Where do you get all that crap from?
You only know how to use your fists to solve your problems.
When you were fooling me around, you were full of wise ideas.
I know now why you were late that day.
Why didn't you explain it to me?
Did you let me explain?
I didn't use my hand to cover your mouth.
Makes no sense.
It's too expensive. Make it cheaper.
Stop fussing! Stop fussing!
Don't be anxious. Line up one by one.
The class will start at 1 pm sharp this afternoon. Don't be late.
Manager Jiang, give us a discount. Seriously, it's really too expensive.
Discount it a little, please. Okay?
National Fashion Promotion Fair
Are you trying to help her pay the tuition?
Feng Shang doesn't have this kind of tradition.
You can break the rule, but
you have to first beat me.
How should I win?
- Interview first.- Okay.
Let me see your talent.
Is this all Feng Shang Models can do?
How much future can you get by exploiting the models?
If you want to kill the chickens, at least, let them lay some eggs first.
Did you come to work or to supervise?
Models depend on their figures to work, not mouths.
Are you picking on me because of Jiao Yang?
You were the one who started confronting me.
I'm only giving you the opportunity.
Thanks.
I'm very happy to be your rival,
especially when it comes to love,
One suitable rival is much better than ten unsuitable friends.
Stop your crap. Let's start now.
Let's see who's faster.
Okay.
This is so manly!
The challenge begins.
Showtime!

I heard you were a top student at a top university.
Why would you like him?
Who are you talking about?
Zhao Yu Tian is a ruffian.
He's not some kind of hero.
Well, I'm not some damsel in distress with a hungry baby.
I don't need him to save me.
That's my sister's child.
Do you have a problem with me asking someone to help me look after him?
So that's what it is.
You win.
Brother Tian is incredible!
Stop fooling around.
The special instructions course will start now.
You have two minutes to get ready.
You are disqualified if you are late.
You aren't going yet?!
I...
What are you dilly-dallying for? You don't need to pay.
Models must adapt to various situations.
It doesn't matter if you feel all kinds of pain
or if you feel extremely uncomfortable.
When the camera is on you,
you must remember to show off 100 percent of your charm.
You should have told us ealier. I can take exhaustion.
I wouldn't have been so scared to death.
Relax your fingers.
Use the palms to hold onto the floor.
Don't waste your energy.
Thank you.
Small tip.
I'm not talking about that.
I'm referring to your help in getting me into the special class.
You don't have to thank me. It's Li Zhen's money.
But I won it from him.
- Are you free tonight?- Why?
I... My sister wants to treat you to dinner.
Perfect. I can go help her work.
Professional!
The smell of milk is very strong. ABC? (ABC = American Born Chinese)
No, CBA.
China born, then immigrated to America.
Then, you must not be satisfied with only being a model, right?
Why?
When everyone was registering, you were peeking at the document.
What were you trying to do? Spying?
What do you think?
Don't be nervous. I don't like retelling secrets.
Your observation skills are really sharp.
Of course.
Beside Song Jiao Yang, no other woman here is as smart as me.
Didn't you just say that you were very strong?
You are not trying to slack off, right?
I'm not slacking off. This is known as being smart.
Get up! Are you done resting?
I feel dizzy.
You fell, right?
Practice for an additional half hour.
What the heck.
Where are you going?
To the bathroom. Is that not allowed?
Sit, sit, sit.
What wind blew you over here?
Give me Zhao Yu Tian. You name the price.
I was wondering what big deal it was... so it was just that.
Any bigger news would be about a take over of your company.
Yu Tian and I have this strong relationship like father and son, or blood brothers.
He is just like a piece of flesh from my body.
I raised him for over ten years
through blood, sweat and tears.
You can't put a price on that.
Ultimately a model is still the product of a company.
No matter how good the friendship is, there is still a price.
Take the opportunity to sell at the peak price.
You can continue to groom new talents
and make the same money too.
No, no, no.
Do you take this place as a sweatshop?
A finished product for RMB$100 and I let you sell it for RMB$2,000?
RMB$100 is too low. Make it RMB$1,000. We share the profit.
If I were to sell it myself, I will sell it for RMB$3,000.
You'd be lucky to sell it for $300, let alone $3000.
Alright, I got it.
Hello, Uncle.
Who are you?
Uncle, you don't recognize me?
I'm Li Zhen.
President Li.
Is it taken care of?
I saw the young man who pretended to be your nephew the other day.
He seems to have joined Feng Shang recently
and plans to be a model.
I thought he was chasing after something bigger.
That's it?
You guys...
If that Mr. Luo doesn't want to release him,
don't give him any good deals anymore.
Let's see how long he can hold out.
I understand.
Then President Li, I'll go now.
Li Zhen?
Done?
Where did you go? You didn't even take any photos.
Bad luck, I ate something bad. I'll leave first then. Bye bye.
It's great being young.
Are you very old?
Looking at her, I feel that I'm old.
Oh right, I haven't thanked you yet.
Thank me for what?
Didn't you help me with my tuition fee?
That was between him and me based on a bet.
No matter what, it's still your money.
I'll remember this debt and pay you back as soon as I have the money.
I already told you, your investment would reap its harvest.
Let's go. The movie starts at 6. We'll get there just in time if we go now.
What movie?
Didn't you agree to go?
When did I agree?
You said to change it to another day and for me to choose the time. So I chose today.
I've already asked for time off. It's the kind you like, a vampire movie.
Oh my God.
Did I get Parkinson's?
I completely forgot!
Can we go now?
The two of you have a date?
What's going on?
Sorry. I forgot that I already made an appointment with him.
It's okay. Let's make it another day.
I'm sorry.
Are you playing with us?
Sorry. I...
It was I who was too rash. Don't misunderstand.
Next time.
I'm sorry.
But I won't cede to you next time.
Rotten brat. Do you like seeing me get embarrassed?
Why would I? I told you I didn't mean to.
You...
Hey, you're a grown-up man,
it's okay if you don't always get so embarrassed.
You...
I've warned you. Don't lay a hand on my sister.
I didn't. I drank too much that day.
It was definitely a mistake. A mistake!
I will punch you and also say that I drank too much. I can also say that I didn't know, right?
- Xiao Tian!- Wife!
I already lectured your brother-in-law.
He bought this for me and apologized to me already.
That's right. I spent RMB$400 or 500 for that.
I just won the money.
You still gamble!?
Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian!
Just beat me to death too.
Husband, husband, are you alright?
You rotten rascal!
If you dare to hit me again, I'm calling the police!
That's right. You fought well.
You should beat men who uses violence on women.
It's right for you to give him a few punches.
If it were me, I would hang him up and
beat him up for three days and three nights, then he'll learn a lesson.
If the man's rotten, it's time for someone new.
How long is your sister going to keep enduring this?
It's useless for her to endure it.
He will still beat her sooner or later.
Your sister is too weak.
In my opinion...
Have you said enough?
I'm not saying that your sister is wrong,
I just think that...
You think what?
People like you who haven't suffered before,
what right do you have to criticize my sister?
Why are you throwing your temper at me?
Shut up!
I won't shut up. I'm sticking my tongue at you.
I have already walked ten streets with you.
I have been starving all this time.
Are you treating me to a meal of the Northwest wind?
You didn't bring any money?
Why didn't you say so earlier? I brought money.
Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner.
We are not eating anymore. Just go home.
You are not going to abandon me here alone, are you?
That's right. Go wherever you like. I won't escort you.
Who told you to escort me home? I have legs.
Bastard!
Bastard.
If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the movies with Li Zhen.
What an ungrateful guy! You won't even accept a little kindness.
The orders did not increase
and even dropped by 10 percent.
I'm working on an urgent promotion plan.
I have confidence in the designs for the new season.
Regarding the weak sales in male fashion, I want to focus on the representing male model
to increase marketability.
A few days ago, did you pay your late brother a visit on his memorial day?
I...
What an inhuman rascal!
I heard that you didn't even recognize your own nephew.
Dad...
It's probably because I couldn't recognize him right away.
Dad, did you come back early just because of that?
Li Zhen,
that day when I didn't recognize you, don't hold a grudge.
It's alright.
After all, we haven't seen each other for such a long time. You couldn't recognize me is nothing strange.
Let's go. Get in the car.

Did your mother leave any message?
No, grandpa.
Go back.
Grandpa, I...
17 years ago, your mom ran away with you without a word.
She cut off all communications with us.
She treated us as if we didn't exist.
Now that she is living happily in heaven,
she throws her son back to us.
Our family is not a garbage dump!
Grandpa! I'm not garbage!
If you want to prove that you are not garbage, then show me some results.
Don't think I don't know what kind of useless life you led in the States.
I don't have such a useless grandson.
See him out.
Go.
How was it?
What did your grandpa say?
He said...
he doesn't have such a useless grandson.
Don't take it to heart.
That's how bad tempered your grandpa is.
He is very angry about what you did in the States.
It wasn't something I could control
because I didn't have any other choice.
Its okay, now that you've come back, just rest at home.
I've already arranged a place for you to live.
Forget it.
I don't want to live here.
Don't be like this. Besides, blood is thicker than water.
But this blood is cold,
colder than ice.
My own uncle treated me like a dog.
The grandpa that I missed, isn't even as warm as a stranger.
I know you've suffered a lot these years.
Take this.
Ah Biao, who told you to give money to a beggar?
Chairman Li, Xiao Zhen didn't ask for it. I wanted to...
Xiao Zhen! Xiao Zhen!
Your dad isn't here anymore. Your grandpa doesn't like us.
We can't live in this house anymore.
Will we come back?
No, we'll never come back.
Mom, I want this.
I will prove to you that I'm not garbage.
Girls are in the spotlight this time.
You guys will only be the support.
Didn't you say the theme is environmental conservation?
Wearing less clothes is environmental conservation.
Brother Luo, they are still rather new. Can they handle this kind of scale?
In this profession, you have to sell your face.
If anyone thinks her face is more precious than diamond, then she should drop out.
Whether the company can expand will depend on how we collaborate with ANNO this time.
As long as we do great in this first shot,
the follow-through will be thunderous!
Who is the lead for the runway?
The product is the lead. We are just the support.
But we trained so hard just for this show.
No more fuss. Rehearsal in the morning, we are going to the store in the afternoon.
This is really too degrading.
Is a model just a piece of meat?
Or a prop or decoration?
If you can't take it, it's best you don't go.
I feel that you should use this opportunity to test the waters.
This could be a test. I think Boss Luo must want to flush out some people who are too thin-skinned.
You, don't act like you know everything.
If you have the capability then be the boss yourself.
Did Li Zhen offend you? Why do you always scold him?
Don't work if you don't have a thick skin.
If not, you will fail miserably. Understand?
If I don't go, how will I know?
Li Zhen, I'm listening to you.
I've been through the special training. It'd be a waste if I don't go.

I'm a natural-born lead.
Even if I'm put among 10,000 models, I'll find a spot to be in the lead.
Boss Luo, are you kidding?
Are they showing themselves or our products?
They will be showing the products soon.
This is just the warm up.
Yu Tian, get her off the stage now!
Okay.
I'm going.
Go! Go! Go!
What are you doing?
Without me, how do you get all the hungry wolves?
Enough! I know you are doing this for yourselfStand properly!
Dear friends in the audience,
the' ANNO I'm the Most Beautiful Bikini Girl' event is about to start.
This event is exclusively sponsored by the famous brand, ANNO.
Next, the winner of the best dancing partner contest will win a 5-day trip in the Maldives and 7 days in Phuket Island.
Now, we will invite the men in the audience to dance with our beautiful models.
Please join us.
Hello, baby.
What are you doing?
Bastard.
Get somebody here quick. There's an incident.
Jiao Yang, are you alright?
I don't want to be this kind of model.
The sexy swimsuit show became a farce for perverts.
Romeo, it seems you can fail too.
President Li.
Did you see that too?
Yeah, Romeo is in trouble now.
Vivian, I advise you to pay attention to your own work.
Why does Legend 21 still have low-quality models?
I'm looking into it now.
What do you think of her?
Her?
Haven't you realized
she's the fashion designer and model at Jinjiang's graduation show?
That's right, it's her.
Based on her accomplishments, it was a sure thing for her to come work for us.
But later, a teacher at Jinjiang Institute said that she plagiarized his work,
so we cancelled her interview.
No wonder she went over to Romeo's company to be a model.
She doesn't have the qualifications to be a designer,
but she seems to be a natural as a model.
She does have a very unique flavor on the stage.
But, based on her performance that day, she appeared very inexperienced on stage.
Vivian, one isn't born with experience on stage.
When we pick a model, we want someone with an innate character.
What do you think?
- I'll think about it.- Okay.
Zhao Yu Tian!
Do you want to see me die?
You have embarrassed me all the way to the moon!
Are you a blockhead or a fossil? Speak!
Boss Luo, you should blame me for this incident.
I was the one who got violent first.
Stop being a hero. It has nothing to do with you.
What are you doing?
You guys think that you're competing for a bonus?
I don't care which of you threw the punches.
We can't take back what has already happened.
Tell me, what should we do?
Boss Luo, I will take full responsibility.
Full responsibility? That's easy for you to say.
Will deducting your fees from the appearance solve everything?
Enough. Get out! I will think of a solution myself!
Neither of you is trouble free.
Get out!
Zhao Yu Tian.
Mr. Li, stop pretending to be a high and mighty gentleman.
I did it myself and I'll take the responsibility. Don't cut in.
Why?
Why couldn't I even protest when I was taken advantage of in public?
What are you still sitting here for?
Thank you for today.
Forget it. No matter which Feng Shang model it was, I would have still poked my nose into it.
I forgot that you are a teacher.
What do you plan on doing?
With Boss Luo's temperament, there is no way for you to stay at Feng Shang Models.
Fine, I won't stay.
I'll go and get a job or sell stuff on the streets. I can still feed myself.
It's not cheap to go to college.
You spent all your family's money just to do that?
You think I want this?
Do you know how hard it is to find a job these days?
With your stubborn temper, of course you can't find a good job.
What do you mean with my stubborn temper?
This is my basic principle as a human being.
Why am I telling you this?
You don't understand anything.
I don't understand. I've never gone to college,
I've never studied in a fancy foreign school.
Nothing's wrong. Why are you getting angry?
Do you really see yourself as a bicycle pump?(In Chinese, "air" and "anger" is the same word.)
You guys are both here.
Don't misunderstand, the reason why I spoke like that earlier was because I didn't want Boss Luo to get angry at you.
It's not what you think.
What happened just now?
We were trying to speak up on your behalf.
I will be responsible for my own actions. I don't need you guys to stand up on my behalf.
Both of you really talk alike.
Okay. Don't look so down anymore. It wasn't such a big deal.
Let's go get a drink. My treat.
I still have something to tell you guys.
Let's go.

Please enjoy.
My first job in New York was being a bartender.
On my first day, I mistook vinegar for wine.
The result was that I almost got fired.
You guys should at least smile.
Otherwise I'd feel embarrassed.
Say it. What's the matter?
Alright, what I wanted to say was that I hope the three of us can become good friends.
- With him?- With her?
I'm saying the three of us.
I thought it was some serious matter. You didn't have to be so formal.
It's not simply being good friends.
It's also about having our own career, together.
You... have a unique specialty in design.
You... have extraordinary talent to be a super model.
As for me, I'm a bit smart.
My career is to use my smarts to help you guys become successful.
Young Master. I don't have the patience to play entrepreneur games with you.
Rich boys like you who are pretending to be working at a bar to look cool
probably wouldn't understand how cruel life could be for a little guy like me.
Our rules in life are different.
If you want to play, don't drag me in.
You only know how to dash one's hopes.
Li Zhen, I support you.
Your plan has already excited me.
Get excited when you are hurt.
You are so disagreeable. We can never agree.
You are so agreeable with each other, then you can talk till daybreak.
Zhao Yu Tian, are you crazy?
Do you think only you know everything?
I don't want to see you ever again!
You can still laugh?
You're very cute when you're angry.
The two of you are really interesting.
What do you mean by the two of us?
When two people love to argue, it usually means they like each other.
You're talking about him?
Even if I like puppies, I won't like him.
Then what will you do now?
You don't miss anything?
Not one bit.
It would be better if I had never known him.
I meant whether you would miss not being a model anymore.
You're talking about being a model?
What can I do? I already dropped out.
I can't return now.
It's not too big of a deal. I'll wash dishes here instead.
Trust me.
In the future, our stage will be bigger than this.
Of course!
Jiao Yang, promise me one thing, okay?
Say it.
In the future, no matter what happens at any time,
if I need your help, you will come to me,
whether as a partner or as a friend.
Wow, you make it sound so serious. It sounds like a trap.
I'm serious about the business plan I told you about.
Then when do you plan on starting?
I will tell you later when my plans are ready.
Alright, I promise.
I'll do it whether as your partner or your friend.
What if there's another role?
What role?
Lover.
Lover or secret admirer?
You are not even a boss yet, and you are already thinking about this?
Brother Tian.
Yu Tian.
Li Zhen has been very close with Song Jiao Yang lately.
You must work harder.
What are you thinking of?
Yu Tian.
This is not your standard.
You usually have a girl to take care of things here.
I'm not that capable. But you, Big Brother, you are still as charming as always.
So what? If a model can't reach the top,
it is a dead end.
So what if I won first place back then?
Aren't I still just a car repairman now?
I think you two should think about a back-up plan.
Cheers!
Legend's big boss is interested in you.
He's been trying to hire you away through different channels.
Advertisements, runway shows, movies, television dramas...
You won't lack anything with Legend in charge.
It's useless. He's already been brainwashed by Boss Luo.
Is Mr. Luo threatening you?
No.
Even if he didn't, be careful.
I heard the other day Xie Xiao Ming was beaten up by some hoodlums.
His legs were broken.
Who did that?
Who knows?
Someone said that it has to do with Mr. Luo.
Didn't he break a contract with Boss Luo?
So pitiful. He is the only son.
Scared his parents.
Give this to him for me.
Brother Tian.
This too.
You are a good guy but you can't live on kindness alone. Understand?
I'm a model, I can eat less.
Yu Tian you are a pal! I'm thanking you on his behalf.
That Song Jiao Yang...
Did she see a ghost? Why was she screaming all over the place?
Was it necessary?
And that Zhao Yu Tian...
He beat up that guy!
The entire place was in chaos.
I had wanted to do a belly dance. All ruined.
You can't blame her. She's new.
Of course she would be unprepared with this kind of thing.
No, I can't tolerate it.
What do you want to do?
I want to get on ANNO's print-media ads.
Did you know, ANNO's ads are going to be in fashion magazines.
But after this mess, Boss Luo probably can't even talk to ANNO.
There's no guarantee we'll get the print-media ads.
Even if Boss Luo can't help, I still want to get it.
Sister Bao Lian, did you know?
The fashion photographer they are using, Da Qi, is my husband's classmate.
But your husband has gone missing.
Even though he's not here, I can still find a way.
Jian Zhi? Which Jian Zhi?
You don't remember Jian Zhi?
He slept under your bunk bed. You even carried water for him to wash his feet for a whole semester.
You mean that Cheapy Jian?
When did I ever carry water for him to wash his feet?
I remember when I dated girls for him, he was the one who carried water for me to wash my feet for a whole semester.
Damn you, Jian Zhi. You're so good at reversing the story.
Then you are Cheapy Jian's...
Friend... Friend.
Okay. Profile.
Okay.
One more.
Cuter.
Okay, perfect.
Thank you, Master Da Qi.
Don't mention it, but...
I can only recommend you to ANNO's model selection. There is no guarantee for anything else.
That's enough.
Your standard is the standard for the entire fashion industry.
Look! They are taking legal actions.
We lost the shows, the appearance fees, along with the subsequent commercials.
Speak. What am I going to do?
I...
The money isn't even the most important thing.
I, Romeo, have built up a reputation over a decade and lost it overnight.
- Then I...- Shut up!
It's useless to beat you to death.
Go find Song Jiao Yang and bring her back here. She needs to take responsibility for this.
I...
She... she seems to be sick.
She can scram if she's sick. She should stay as far away as possible.
However, the penalty for breaching a contract need to be paid double.
- Double?- Of course, it's in the contract.
This place is very expensive. You're treating today?
What exactly are you thinking? Are you really not going back to Feng Shang?
Wow, you're not worried about me, are you?
I don't care if you stay or not.
The problem is, you just up and left.
So you are caring about what Boss Luo wants.
This matter is not a joke. Think it over carefully.
I've already thought it over. I'm not giving up my self-esteem to be a model.
You're giving up after a little incident? What else can you do?
Do you think you are a professional critic? You only criticize, never encourage.
I've never studied, I don't know how to speak. Is that a crime?
Please, Zhao Yu Tian, it was you who brought me to this "romantic" place,
and then you sting and disparage me. So you are high and mighty now?
Am I your venting outlet?
Did you swallow some dynamite? Why are you so explosive?
I only lectured you a little bit.
- Every word you're saying is hurting my self-esteem.- You!
Okay. Go tell your boss that I'm not going back to his place.
I don't want the money either.
- You! - Enough!
Goodbye.
Fashion Model Contract
Look, it's written very clearly.
If Party B breaks the contract,
Party A has the right to be recompensed by Party B
for the loss that's worth at least Party B's one-year wage.
See?
This stupid girl didn't even check what she signed.
Today's college students are only this educated?
Big Brother.
Is Song Jiao Yang really not coming back?
I knew that she wouldn't be able to last long.
The girls who have been to college really think they know something.
They think they are such elites.
The whole world isn't even good enough for her.
Don't talk about her all the time.
Big Brother, I can see it all written on your face.
I know you can't bear to see her go, but also don't like to see her getting hurt by Boss Luo.
Are you done yet?
Big Brother, I heard Boss Luo is demanding double the penalty to release her.
Is this true?
If this is so, she's in trouble.
She couldn't even make this sum of money in a year.
Hello, Kevin? I've found an opportunity.
Opportunity? It looks more like a trap.
I'm so short of money now,
and you want me to spend more money. What is this about?
Actually, even if this show had been smooth without incidents,
ANNO would have cancelled our contract.
It's because a small model agency has given ANNO a very low bid.
Boss Luo, you probably know more about this than I do.
Fierce competition among model agencies is driving down the rates more and more.
Therefore, it may be a good idea to adjust your business direction.
Although Oagig isn't very well-known in this country,
but it is an authentic Italian brand.
Their willingness to authorize their brand at such a low price
is an extremely rare opportunity.
If I give this information to the domestic brand manufacturers in southeastern China,
I think they'd be very interested.
Then why did you choose me?
Boss Luo, you have an extensive circle of contacts and relationships.
It's a very valuable asset.
It would be a shame if you don't utilize it.
If we work together, I will keep only 20% of the profit.
I think you are the one who wants to get rich
but use me as a sucker.
Quit talking. I won't do it. You can go away.
- 5 percent.- Deal.
But I have one condition.
Don't keep chasing Song Jiao Yang for compensation.
I have really met the devil. First, it was Zhao Yu Tian who spoke up for her.
And now you're speaking up for her.
Sorry, I always take action according to the contract.
Forget about it. As far as our contract, you do what you want.
You are mistaken.
I don't want to have a conflict with Song Jiao Yang for another reason.
To revise Oagig's design details,
Song Jiao Yang is your best choice.
What do you mean?
A four-year scholarship to Jinjiang Institute of Clothing Technology is no joke.
More importantly, she has a very sharp sense of fashion trends.
But...
Boss Luo should be well aware
that it is very costly to use a professional designer to do the revisions.
Fine, I agree.
I know you're very smart,
but you'd better not trick me.
I'm still the boss in this territory.
Don't you think so?
Food delivery from Little Prince Express. Please answer the door.
You must have come on snails. So slow!
Sorry, I'll deliver to you first next time.
Speed it up next time. Here's the money. Is there anything else?
You are...
