Hello Gorgeous
Episode 3
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...
How did you find me here?
I know you. You are with those con men!
Let me tell you, I'm a victim too. I was also conned by them.
In any case, if you try to be funny with me, I will drag you to the police.
Don't worry. I won't pull a fast one on you this time.
My schoolmate is very well known in this industry.
If your daughter is recommended by him, she'll immediately go from being a pheasant to a phoenix.
You bastard. Who's the pheasant?
My daughter has always been a phoenix.
Yes, she's a phoenix.
You are angry because of this? I was only making an analogy.
Hey, we've arrived.
We're here.
Over there?
It's over there.
Smile, smile!
Beautiful.
Smile a bit more.
Lift your chin a little.
Uncle, are you taking the photos or am I?
You take the photos.
Isn't she that famous model, Lin Man Yi?
Master Da Qi has taken photos for her before?
Wrong. She asked him to take the photos for her.
He's really a great photographer.
There is no aura of a human being.
It has an immortal feel.
Would I, Jian Zhi, introduce you to any common photographers?
But of course. It's really not that simple.
If Le Yao can really get that Ann...
ANNO.
That's right, If Le Yao can really do the Anno commercial, I will be really grateful to you.
Okay, perfect.
Dad. I'm done.
Dad, Master Da Qi said I'm very photogenic.
Of course. If Le Yao is number two, nobody would dare to be number one.
Come.
The model this time is very nice. She's much better than the other one.
Your taste is getting better and better.
The other one?
The one that acted like she knew you!
This one.
She was very unnatural. Looks almost 30 already.
I told Xiao Ai to give her three coats of makeup and we could still see her eye wrinkles.
In the end, we had to photoshop her photos.
Damn, she found the place on her own.
She wanted me to help her be the model for ANNO.
Look at her level of quality. I'm really embarrassed to let anyone see this.
Someone wants to compete with me? I will make her cry miserably. Let me see.
No one else's photos are better than yours.
These are just photos of a friend. His wife shot them.
These were only taken for fun.
Investigate Oagig thoroughly.
You must do a thorough and detailed check. Leave no strand of hair untouched.
Boss Luo.
You are here because of that Song Jiao Yang again, right?
Yu Tian, you are really putting me in a difficult spot over this matter.
Our company has been around for all these years, and nothing like this has happened before.
If I don't teach her a lesson, other models won't obey me as easily in the future.
She just graduated and doesn't know what it's like in the working world.
Frankly, it's not that I can't agree to what you want.
I won't chase after Song Jiao Yang's penalty fees,
but someone must be responsible for this matter.
And that person is you.
I made the calculations. Why don't we do this?
I will deduct it from your appearance payments during this season, to set an example for everyone at Feng Shang.
I'm doing it for your sake.
You need to remember the losses this time is far greater.
Thank you, Boss Luo.
You rascal. I personally groomed you.
I know exactly what's on your mind.
You've fallen for that Song Jiao Yang, right?
It's nothing like that. I just feel I bear some responsibility for this incident.
Regard this incident as a strong lesson to you.
Men must be business minded to succeed. Don't let personal feelings affect you.
I understand, Boss Luo.
Your body doesn't belong to only you. Do you remember?
I know.

Thank you very much.
Let's make big bucks together.
- No problem. - Let's make big bucks together.
Look, this is Le Yao.
When did she become this beautiful?
Congratulations, Le Yao. You are really awesome.
This is the new commercial for ANNO. When will we ever get an opportunity like this?
You will. Don't be envious. I was just lucky.
Sister Ao Fu, take a look at this.
Le Yao is on the magazine spread. She's drop dead gorgeous.
What's all the fuss about this?
I have already been on it a few years ago.
Le Yao, how did you get selected by ANNO?
Everyone knows that master photographer, Da Qi, who shot for that famous model Lin Man Yi?
He said that I'm most suitable for ANNO!
He kept pestering me to do it. I had no choice.
Why did you push my dad?
Speak! Are you dead?
- Crazy! - Sister Ao Fu!
Sister Ao Fu, what's wrong? Sister Ao Fu!
Le Yao. What's wrong with Sister Ao Fu. Is she going to be alright?
She's so jealous that she had to leave.
Keep looking. Keep looking.
You really look pretty!
You are really beautiful.
Master Da Qi, this new girl is pretty good.
She has a special quality in her expression.
- I could tell just by seeing her on first sight.- Right.
This little girl is really capable...
Why is it her?
How am I lacking compared to her?
So it's you.
I only recommend, but I cannot guarantee.
Jian Zhi also said
you were only here to take the photos for fun.
Jian Zhi? He was here?
This girl was highly recommended by him.
ANNO's Manager Zhang liked her right away.
Highly recommended?
Where is Jian Zhi, that bastard? Come out now!
Handprinted T-shirts! Anyone want to take a look?
Handprinted T-shirts.
It's the latest design.
Each t-shirt has a unique design. Want to take a look?
This one is RMB$30.
It's handprinted. Anyone want to take a look?
Handmade T-shirts. Each one is one of a kind.
This costs RMB$50.
This one is RMB$30.
- RMB$50 is the bottom price. This one is RMB$50.- Let me see.
Make it cheaper. How about RMB$30?
That's too cheap. I can't sell it.
Hello?
Jiao Yang.
Uncle!
Have you already started work?
Why haven't you called us?
I just started work and am very busy. You should know that.
That's good then.
By the way, your sister Xing Xing is going to college soon.
She doesn't have enough for the tuition yet.
- If you have any leftover...- Uncle...
I don't mean that.
I'm not pressuring you to pay me back.
You just joined the company and don't have that much money yet.
Jiao Yang, you're back.
How was it today?
I'm so dead tired.
There were lots of interested people, but nobody wanted to spend the money.
So... I didn't sell anything.
Jiao Yang.
I have to move out of here tomorrow.
Why?
My uncle found me a job in Xijia.
I have to go there tomorrow.
Therefore, you probably can't stay here anymore.
Don't worry about where I will be staying.
Your being able to find a job is more important. Congratulations!
Hello?
Yes, it's me.
Really?
That's great!
Then I will definitely be there tomorrow.
Alright, see you tomorrow.
What is it, Jiao Yang?
Yes!
The company where I went for an interview just told me to start work tomorrow.
- Really?- Really!
That's great!
I never even imagined that. I knew we could both do it!
You found a job, and now I have a job too.

Buddy, lend me some shower gel.
What's wrong?
A woman! A woman!
What are you up to?
Sorry! Sorry! I didn't see anything!
You obviously saw everything. Don't say you didn't!
I really didn't see anything!
- Hurry and leave!- Why are you here?
I know, I know! She is a female pervert.
No, no... I'll leave immediately.
Sorry, sorry! I didn't see anything. I'll leave immediately.
I really didn't see anything.
What are you doing? Get out now! Quickly!
I really didn't see anything! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Careful!
Manager Wu, I'm begging you.
Please don't fire me, Manager Wu.
- Please give me another chance. - The manager has already decided.
I can't do anything about it.
The flower vase was very expensive, you know?
I put a notice outside the door, but somebody took it away.
Otherwise, nothing would have happened.
Manager, I'm telling you,
I put a notice outside the door...
Brother Tian.
Otherwise, nothing would have happened.
Let's go. Don't tell me you are going to help her.
Don't fire me. Please give me another chance, Manager Wu.
How tall do you think she is?
Her?
She's not short. Maybe around 1.8 meters tall.
She's not that much shorter than me.
I actually thought she was a man.
With such a body, it would be a waste if she doesn't become a model.
Become a model?
Xiao Song, we are going to meet a senior colleague.
He's an extremely experienced designer.
We have to treat him very respectfully.
Once we get him into our company, you can be his assistant.
You can also learn a lot.
President Xiao, may I know what his name is?
I almost forgot.
Maybe you already know him.
He is also a professor at Jinjiang Institute.His name is Lin Mu Sen.
Hi, President Xiao.
Hello, Designer Lin.
I'm sorry I'm late.
This is your future assistant.
Song Jiao Yang?
Why are you here?
Xiao Song, where are you going?
Master Lin, do you know each other?
She was a student who was criticized by me.
She still hates me.
Song Jiao Yang, about your plagiarism,
they have cancelled you interview.
I have already discussed it with the dean for a long time.
We are saving your reputation only because you have been a diligent student.
We also don't want our school's reputation to be harmed.
I'm sorry I'm late.
What's this about?
Do you like it?
I'll give it to you.
You must be like her. She has such a smiley face.
Don't always put on a long face.
Learn from her.
Thank you.
Learn it from her!
You have to blink your eyes.
Take off your clothes.
Take off your jacket. We want to see your physical ratio.
Turn around.
You've played volleyball before?
Yes, I started playing when I was 12.
Why did you stop?
Because I was the slowest in the team, so the coach let me go.
Why do you want to be a model?
I want my dad to get a wife.
I hear that the salary of a model is high.
You're old enough to be married. Why does your dad need a wife?
My mom passed away early.
My father has a 3 acre farm in the village with eight pigs.
He's so tired that he coughs up blood all the time.
Widow Wang in the next village is pretty nice to my dad.
She always makes pork lung soup for my dad,
but her father-in-law doesn't want her to remarry.
We can't afford to pay the betrothal money.
Okay, okay. Don't say anymore.
Yu Tian, wherever you picked up this girl, take her back there.
Boss Luo...
Is today your first time being a model?
You think you can be a model just because you're 1.8 meters tall?
Essence and quality! Don't you understand?
Look at how scared she is.
She's so clumsy and can't even stand up straight. How can she walk the runway?
Take her away now!
You picked me up from a construction site.
You shined even if you were standing in the mud back then.
In her case, she is mud herself.
I'm not mud!
I can definitely do it.
I used to be the hardest working person in that team.
If I hadn't injured my tendon,
I would have joined the national team.
Not everyone can be a model.
I can!
Good!
I finally heard that from you!
Yu Tian, take her to Bao Lian.
Okay.
President Li wants to see the latest designs, right?
See, I worked on them all night.
You are quite proactive.
My weakness is that I work too hard.
Did President Li look for you about the launch?
For the new season's design to be successful, it will depend on your models.
You're confusing the cause and the effect.
The end of this month?
That's right. The end of this month.
The timing is too tight.
We used to have it in the middle of next month.
Do we wait for the competitors to be ready before we battle with them?
We'll let DW have an in-depth understanding of Legend's prospects.
There are many companies that also want to work with DW.
We need to let DW know that Legend is the most influential brand name.
So you mean this launch is also a promotion war to win DW.
That's right.
President Li, you haven't selected from the recent portfolio from our designers.
Take a look.
Here's a set.
Here's another set.
There isn't any marked difference.
Go ahead and make them.
President Li, there are 6 plans here. Which one do we use?
All of them.
All of them?
Your designs
basically have no winning quality.
So we can only win by quantity.
This season's launch will have to be the largest in scale.
But President Li, with so many clothes, we would need many models.
This is your problem to solve. Don't ask me about it.
But...
Then get them from other agencies.
Remember, I want top quality.
Vivian!
What wind blew you here again?
Who do you like this time?
I'm not here to hire away your models today.
I'm here to talk business with you.
The launch for Legend's fall season, including the models, all for RMB$450,000. How about it?
RMB$450,000?
Vivian, what kind of joke is this?
Aside from the production cost,
all the models at Feng Shang are top-tiered ones.
Are you referring to those scared newbies at the ANNO show?
I saw it on entertainment news.
You may not make much profits from this amount, but it will be worth your while.
You know about the current cost of living.
If you want to hire an hourly worker to sweep the floor,
it can cost a few hundred dollars per day.
Furthermore, our models were selected from thousands of applicants at our auditions.
When the economy is not good, it's better to make some money instead of having losses.
Give me an answer soon. I'm leaving.
Wait a minute.
Well...
tell me.
How many people?
Forty people.
Forty people?
That's right. For this Legend launch, it will be an unprecedented scale.
There will be at least 200 outfits.
Vivian, just kill me instead.
You want enough models for two shows.
You better find someone who can do better.
I can handle a little loss but not that much loss.
Do you know that even a director costs...
I will handle the directing.
You?
This show is very important, so I'll personally direct it. Anything else?
Well, let me think it over.
Are you going to do it or not? Give me an answer by 3 pm.
At 3:30 pm, I've an appointment with Ding Shen's chief Lu.
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Li Zhen?
You have a good eyesight. You still remember me?
How could I forget the nephew of my boss?
Even though I can't confirm if it's true or not.
Hello.
I'm Vivian, the manager-in-charge of models at Legend 21.
Nice to meet you.
President Li doesn't seem to like you.
Who cares?
Are you staying here to wait for an opportunity to battle it out with President Li?
Why would you say that?
I'm only trying to make a living.
You don't need to be that sensitive.
I'm only working for him.
On the other hand, if President Li has such a capable nephew like you,
it would be a pity for Legend if you don't join us.
Thanks for your compliments.
But it's not necessary to think it's a pity.
Who can predict what will happen tomorrow?
Perhaps one day, you may be in the same boat as me.
What do you think?
I should go. Bye.
To summarize, you must learn a lesson from last time.
Use your brains. Be flexible.
Don't act like you have never experienced what's outside.
Don't scream just because of some minor mishaps.
Inner quality and essence...
Also, this time around, you will be on stage with other agency's models.
You must cooperate with them. Don't embarrass Feng Shang Models. Understand?
End of meeting.
Boss Luo, don't worry.
With me here, Feng Shang Models will definitely shine.
You don't even know how to walk in proper shoes and you are still bragging?
It's good that you haven't totally embarrassed yourself.
Auntie, are you deaf?
Didn't you hear Teacher Bao Lian say that there is no problem with my performance?
That's right. You can definitely hide in a crowd.
Country granny.
Hello.
May I ask what did the boss mean by inner quality and essence?
What kind of hair style is this?
It's so bumpkin looking.
You are still criticizing others? Country granny.
Just ignore her. You're new here, right?
What is your name?
My name is Da Jiao. (Da Jiao means big feet.)
Da Jiao, pack your stuff and come with me.
Go with you?
Boss Luo already told me that you don't have to stay in the basement anymore.
Starting today, you will be moving in with me. I'll provide meals too.
Really?
What? Why don't I get this benefit?
Not fair!
Why don't I get the same benefit?
Really too much.
Why is Li Yi Lan the main runway model?
I already told you so many times.
This is the initial plan. The customer will decide on the final plan.
But the client will not dispute with Boss Luo's plan.
Ao Fu, regarding the lead runway model...
I already lost an opportunity with the ANNO advertisement.
Even though this is just a rehearsal, I must have the chance to wear the lead's fashion.
Besides, I don't think anyone is more suited for this than I.
That's right. Sit down and talk.
What you said is right.
Li Yi Lan is not our company's model.
Also, it's a bit of a stretch to use her as the lead model.
But, do you know why I'm doing this?
Li Yi Lan's agency, Tian Yin, to promote her as the lead,
offered 5 second-tier models for free
to participate in Legend's launch.
If you were me, what would you do?
Boss Luo, how could you save a little money
but lose the opportunity for our own models at Feng Shang?
A little money?
You don't manage the household? Don't you know how expensive soy sauce is?
The industry is so bad now.
Do you really think you could be the lead once and become a super model right away?
When you do business, you must be careful with expenditures.
Understand?
It's just appearance fees for 5 models, right?
I will give you the money.
But the condition is that I must be the lead runway model.
Boss Luo, surely you don't lose any money this way, right?
If I become famous, you get a share of my earnings too.
You are really smart.
Okay, okay, okay.
To make money against conscience, it still takes an experienced person.
You've really thought it through?
You're just going to go home like this?
I've thought it through.
Perhaps, I'm not used to life in the city.
In the village, no one would cheat, exploit or stab you in the back.
It may be a very ordinary life, but it is an honest life.
That's just one part of living.
Don't you think that by leaving here, you will lose the opportunity to realize your dream?
I haven't given up on my dream,
but I must first find a place where I can realize my dream.
I don't have the ability to live in the city now.
Therefore, I might as well go back to my hometown
and find a stable job first.
I'm already an adult.
I can't keep letting my family worry about me.
Maybe what you're saying is right.
I can only hope that you will find that ideal place soon.
But don't forget that
there will always be a place for you here.
This is because Song Jiao Yang's business is also my business.
Thank you.
I have been very happy during this period of time.
This is for you.
What is it?
Take photos of your life and upload them into the internet.
I will be able to know what you have been doing.
You won't feel alone, either.
Why are you giving me a cell phone?
It's too expensive. I don't want it.
I bought this with the appearance fees you gave me. It's yours.
Alright then.
I will upload often.
Thank you. You can send me off here.
Bye. Have a safe journey.
- Bye bye.- Bye bye.
Hello, this is Song Jiao Yang.
Interview?
Legend?
They have cleared my innocence regarding the plagiarism?
Li Zhen!
They have cleared my name!
They have proven my innocence.
Bus driver, please stop the bus now.
Please stop the bus now.
I have been redressed by Legend!
They are going to let me go back to work.
That's great. I can go back to work now.
Why is it a modeling contract?
It's because you have modeling experience at Feng Shang.
But I'm here because I want to be a designer.
Did you really think that someone helped you reverse the plagiarism case?
I only said that because I wanted you to stay.
Teacher Lin still hasn't told the truth?
I've heard a bit about what happened to you.
I don't care if you plagiarized or not.
But if I were you, I would sign this contract.
Being a model won't let your designing talent die.
Quite the contrary. While you are modeling, you can come into contact with many design innovations.
This will definitely help you in your own designs.
When you're older,
and you can't fight for a spot on the runway with the young models,
you can still take up your drawing pencils and be a designer.
On the other hand,
someday when you are gray-haired and full of wrinkles,
you will recall that you missed a chance to shine on stage,
a perfect choice that would have given you two opportunities.
Wouldn't you have regrets?
You shouldn't waste such an opportunity with a great figure like yours.
If you want to fulfill your dream in this city,
you should learn how to survive first. Isn't that so?
Uncle is not pressuring you to repay the loan.
I know that you only just started working
and don't have much money.
If you don't need this, I believe that there are many others who do.
I'll sign it.
Le Yao, you looked beautiful in that ad.
Was it styled by Xi Tian?
Yeah.
When can I get a makeover too?
Do you think Xi Tian is that easy to get?
He was doing it as a favor to Brother Jian.
Everyone listens to him.
Hello, Brother Jian. Are you looking for me?
Why does your voice sound so bad?
Lately I've got some inflammations. My mouth got sores.
Inflammations? Then you need to eat some anti-inflammatory foods.
Do you like ice cream? I'll bring you some.
Strawberry is good. Even wasabi's good!
Okay, Le Yao. Come here with your father this afternoon.
I have found those people who conned you of your money.
Really? That's great!
I'll take you to Officer Zhang first at the police station.
Make them give you a portion of the money back first.
Le Yao, do you think you still remember my place?
Of course. It's A302, Shang Feng Apartments, right?
I will call my dad first. I will go there with him later.
Brother Jian wants to talk to me. It seems like there is another new commercial.
What to do? I have to go now. Bye.
Disgusting girl.
Shang Feng Apartments?

Wife, why are you here?
You still know that I'm your wife?
I'm taking care of the baby alone and helping you hide from the cops.
But you? You hide here and secretly meet up with girlfriends!
So you've got inflammations? Let me plunge some air into you!
What girlfriends?
Still lying?
That ANNO commercial was supposed to be mine.
You recommended that vixen, Le Yao, to Da Qi.
She stole my commercial!
Wife, that was a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
I... my marrying you was a mistake.
I was really blind.
I'm going to call the police if you keep hitting me.
Feeling hot, right? Here's some water to cool you down.
I'm meeting with them to go to the police to get them their money back.
Get money back?
I helped the police find those con men.
Don't believe me? Let me call Officer Zhang.
Really?
Really.
If I lie to you, I'll die a terrible death.
Damn you. Do you know that I was having such a hard time?
Okay, dear.
Dear, stop crying.
It's good that you are back.
Come. Sit down for a while.
Dear. What's wrong with your leg?
It's all your fault.
♫ I will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
♫ Happiness and sadness appear one after another. ♫
♫ After going through a struggle with love and hate, ♫
♫ to have my wish fulfilled, ♫
♫ regardless of winning or losing, I won't lose hope. ♫
♫ We will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
You were the one in ANNO's ad?
Bingo! You've answered correctly!
My name is Le Yao.
Do your best.
Okay, everyone. Memorize your sequence.
Get ready backstage now. We will practice next with music.
Come, get the music ready.
♫ I look exactly like my image in the mirror. ♫
♫ Sometimes peaceful, sometimes frantic. ♫
♫ Perhaps, we don't think alike. ♫
♫ Gentle and soft on the inside, strong on the outside. ♫
♫ I will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
♫ Happiness and sadness appear one after another. ♫
♫ After going through a struggle with love and hate, ♫
♫ to have my wish fulfilled, ♫
♫ regardless of winning or losing, I won't lose hope. ♫
♫ We will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
Stop. Stop the music.
What's wrong? You're injured?
It's nothing. I just knocked into something yesterday. I'm fine already.
You say you are fine and you walk like that?
I'm fine, really.
I respect women who are strong
but I hate women who pretend to be strong.
Our show cannot have any mistake.
You are not suitable for this spot.
You, come over here.
Yes, you.
You two trade places.
But...
That's it. We are short on time. Hurry up.
The rest of you, start all over again. Cue the music.
Wife, there is no more formula.
Out the door, 150 meters away is the supermarket.
I... I don't have money.
Mommy is taking out the money.
Let's go and eat something.
We can go to the restaurant.
That's all?
Didn't we sell my watch for RMB$8,000?
You think we don't need to return all the money we borrowed when went in hiding?
Wife, I made you suffer.
But, don't worry, the hard time is only temporary.
You are the temporary one.
Look at these shoes. The style is two years old.
The only thing I bought in the last few months is a pair of stockings.
I can't live like this.
Wife, Officer Zhang already said
the company won't be frozen much longer.
Soon I'll be able to get a few shows, and we'll have money.
Ever since the day you went in hiding, I knew men are not dependable.
Just you wait. I will succeed soon.
That's right. My wife is going to be the lead runway model.
You are going to be hot soon.
Of course!
When that time comes, I will bring the baby along to cheer for you.
Why do you need to cheer for me?
Just be good, stay home and look after the baby.
Son. Let's go and eat.
We are going to buy some formula.
Why did you call me out for a meal?
Frankly, I could have cooked at home.
The hot pot that I make at home is really good.
We will have other opportunities to have hot pot.
Let's enjoy something special today.
Did you hit it big? Let's hear it.
Not yet, but soon.
Take a look at this.
They're quite nice.
But...
What's wrong? Is there a problem?
Look, this design was fashionable a few years ago,
but this kind of bottom is not trendy anymore.
Also, no one is wearing such a high waste line.
This is an old brand from Italy. It's called Oagig.
It went bankrupt a few years ago.
But my friend, Kevin, bought this label at a low price.
It's a pity that he hasn't developed it yet.
I want to collaborate with Boss Luo
to bring this brand to China to market and sell.
Collaborating with Boss Luo? Don't you think he is kind of sinister?
Why do you want to collaborate with him?
Boss Luo has been in the fashion industry for a long time.
His network is valuable.
We are only borrowing his strengths.
And I need your help.
Help me revise these designs. Can you do it?
So are you borrowing my strengths too?
No. It's a win-win for the both of us.
I'm building a stage, and you get to realize your worth on the stage.
I already said that you are my enterprise.
What should I do now?
I've secured the factory and retail stores.
What I need is your help in the designs.
We will take the current trends and make some changes.
I can try!
When I saw the designs, I felt itchy to do something.
The problem is, since you signed a modeling contract with Legend,
do you still have time for this?
Lately, Vivian didn't arrange any catwalk assignments for me.
The new few shows don't really involve me.
I've been pretty free.
Legend 21 has wanted to hire people from Feng Shang.
It's finally done it.
If they are not using you now, maybe they have a bigger plan.
I hope so.
But Vivian only has a few models,
and they aren't professionally trained.
I'm really lucky now. I only signed a modeling contract with Legend.
Why?
If I had become a designer at Legend,
I wouldn't be able to revise these designs for you.
Otherwise, I would be suspected of being a business spy.
Can't you do it even for me?
I can't. I'm very ethical in everything I do.
Okay. Let's toast to Li Zhen's good fortune then.
Also, Song Jiao Yang's, too.
My luck?
Your SOS, right?
Yeah.
But...
Oagig is your laboratory and lab rat.
Thanks. I will continue to work hard.
Cheers!
How is the preparation for the launch?
Even though the timing is tight, I'm getting ready for it. I should...
I don't want to hear this kind of answers.
What I want to hear is confirmation.
Okay. I will be prepared.
Also, I don't want the usual old stuff.
From ideas to even the models' faces,
I want to see new creations.
Okay. I will.
Put in 1,000 percent of your efforts.
DW's funding is a vital need to us.
Yes, Dad.
You look fatigued.
I'm reserving my energy.
I'll shine when I get on stage.
I heard that you are helping Boss Luo with new products.
I'm just helping friends to make connections. I'm just a bridge.
I don't care what you're doing.
You can't use this excuse to affect the runway show.
Don't forget that you're a model.
Don't embarrass us.
I'll remember.
Brother Zeng and Brother Chun, protect me from falling. I must not fall.
Big Brother Jian, you must come.
You are my Doraemon. With you I won't have stage fright.
Remember, this is the last rehearsal.
No one can mess it up. Okay?
Understood.
Hello, President Li. What can I do for you?
Vivian, I want Song Jiao Yang on stage.
But, since she had a mishap at ANNO's show,
I think we should let her take a break from the stage.
No need. We need brand new faces and she fits the bill.
- But...- No buts.
Notify her to be in the rehearsal right away.
Jiao Yang, why are you here? Are you giving us flowers like fans?
You are already prettier than the flowers.
What? Are you here to mess up the show again?
Now that you are not a model, how do you feel?
Actually, I'm here...
Yao Yao!
Big Brother Jian!
I knew you would come support me.
Why are you here?
You guys know each other?
He's my cousin.
Big Brother Jian, I'm still a bit nervous.
Give me some encouragement. Say something nice, okay?
You will perform even better on stage than before the camera.
You've never said that to me before. Damn you, Jian Zhi.
Yao Yao, do your best.
Uncle Le, let's go out and take a look.
- Okay.- Bye bye.
Song Jiao Yang, why aren't you being made up? What are you still doing?
Sister An, I... I just got here.
The waist has to change a bit.
Give her your clothes.
Then... then what about me?
Change with her.
What's going on?
We are adjusting the sequence.
But...
Since you are wounded, just do support roles.
I...
Come, make-up stylist. Do her make-up.
What does it feel like to be put back into place?
The praying mantis catches the cicada, but is then eaten by the bird.
That's how the world really is.
It feels... very good!
I'm glad it's Sister Jiao Yang.
What's this about being the lead?
I really don't care.
By the way, Auntie. Let me interview you for a bit.
You suddenly changed from the lead to substitute. How does that feel?
From your expression, I can tell that you are extremely bitter about it.
Enough. I'm not talking to you anymore.
Before the show starts, I still need Big Brother Jian to give me some encouragement.
Le Yao
Do you still remember clearly the position I told you?
You did not participate in the rehearsal. You'd better not make any mistake.
I'm clear.
Do you only know how to use this tone to talk to people?
Are you a big shot now that you have entered Legend 21?
You are the lead runway model. You definitely cannot make any mistakes.
You can't even say a word of encouragement?
This is the way I am.
Try this. It will relieve your stress.
Hello, hello.
Chairman Li, this way, please.
Come.
Mr. Jie, thank you very much for coming.
We would appreciate your great advice.
Dad.
What do you think of today?
Go back to work first.
Ah Biao, help me take care of my dad.
Okay, I know.

Where are my dad and Big Brother Jian sitting? Are they in the first row?
They will see how beautiful I am later.
Dim the lights, quick.
What's going on?
Husband, what's going on?
The lights are out! What are they doing? This is...
Keep quiet.
Did you think that I wanted to come here?
♫ Summon Good Luck. ♫
♫ Love Good Luck. ♫
What's going on?
Daddy, I really had a terrible fall.
Big Brother Jian, I didn't meet your expectation.
Alright, alright. Don't cry anymore, my baby.
Dad is here, don't be afraid.
Let's check if you have sprained yourself.
I'm fine but it seems like my heel broke.
How could the heel of a good pair of shoes break?
Someone must be out to harm me.
Enough. Do you see what time it is? There's no time for this.
Everyone, back to your place. Give her a pair of shoes now.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
But I don't want to see you on stage with the same expression.
No problem!
Do your best.
Hurry, everyone get ready.
Are you going on stage with a face that long?
The audience doesn't owe you money.
Please, you are the model for the show's finale.
Take it seriously.
Show some style. Get it?
Are you also going to verbally spar with me when we are on stage later?
You can't beat me.
I've discovered you are most charming when you are mute.
You are better as a blind person.
What do you mean?
You shine the most when you see no one else.
Aren't we doing well this way?
What do you think?
Just say yes. It won't kill you.
Okay. The event is over.
Shouldn't you let me go home now?
Hello? Xiao Li!
Play poker? Five-card stud?!
Okay, okay, okay, I'll be there soon!
I'll be going now.
At least say a few words with Dad.
Everyone, drink champagne!
The boss is here!
Boss!
Alright, alright, sit, sit.
Don't be like this. Sit, sit, sit.
Everyone worked hard today.
Today's show was extremely successful.
My taste will never be wrong.
The students that I have taught are all good.
Except that stupid kid.
Who are you talking about?
I already got bad luck, and you had to put insult to injury?
You are clearly a Feng Shang's model.
In such a short time, you already became a lead runway model.
With such a big exposure,
don't forget us.
Thank you, Boss Luo.
I'm just lucky.
Luck doesn't last forever.
You need real strength in this circle.
When you get a lucky chance without real strength, who knows what will happen?
Not happy?
This circle is naturally full of criticism.
If you don't like it, you can leave.
Let's dance.
When you feel awkward, the best strategy is to get away.
Thank you.
Look at how compatible they are.
You are one step late again.
I know what you're thinking.
You can't handle that woman.
Trust me.
Hurry and sleep.
You're finally back, cousin?
Are you asking to be scolded?
I'm really tired. I don't want to fight with you.
Your energy was spent on harming someone, right?
What do you mean?
Don't think that I don't know. How did Le Yao fall?
It has nothing to do with me.
You are the only one who could do something like this.
So what if I did it?
Do you really want me to sit by and watch that vixen cling onto you?
You looked like you were going to eat her up.
What about me? I'm your husband. I can't let you insult me.
I worked so hard for this family.
Now, I've become your cousin!
You worked extremely hard?
When you ran away,
you lived in an apartment, messing with a young girl.
I forced myself to compete with those teenage girls.
And for what?
Isn't it just for making a few more bucks?
Your lousy performing company only loses money, don't you know?
I've had enough, deal maker.
My marrying you was your best deal in your life.
But I won't let you have that good deal no more.
Wife, what are you doing?
Let's talk civilly.
Go and die.
Baby, don't cry.
Wife, no matter where you are on stage,
you always shine the brightest. Stay strong!
Take a look. What do you think?
It's so late, who would come over?
Ao Fu?
I'm back again.
The media's reaction is good.
This girl has a strong likability.
She also has a quality not possessed by other models,
a sense of intelligence.
Your judgement is above the regular professionals.
I have an acute sense.
Her performance was certainly unexpected,
but I still think that your decision that day was risky.
She is a newbie after all.
I'll give her a 7-figure salary.
What?
RMB$1 million.
Are you crazy?
Lunatics can become geniuses.
How is this possible?
Vivian, you'll be responsible for managing her.
Legend will sign a RMB$1 million contract with you.
The money will stay on the books.
How much she actually gets
is up to you.
You mean you want to manipulate her demand on the market.
What Legend Group needs the most now is creating legends.
Think about it.
When a girl newly out of school can sign a RMB$1-million contract,
it is an instant legend.
What do you think?
But...
If Legend continues to follow tradition, our designs will stagnate too.
I want to transform Legend into a fashion kingdom.
Let all the royalties and celebrities wear our brand.
Does Chairman Li know about this?
Right now is the pivotal time to get DW's funding.
If I can expand Legend's influence, I don't think he'll object to it.
But before that, I need to do this.
Regarding the matter with Song Jiao Yang, you carry it out ASAP.
Avoid telling all truths to the media. The more ambiguous, the better.
RMB$1 million!?
That's right.
What are you looking for?
Sister An, I can't be on Candid Camera, right?
Be serious.
This is how it is.
The progress at the factory is going well.
The remodeling at the retail store is almost completed, too.
I'll contact friends in the media to first write press releases,
mainly emphasizing Oagig's authentic Italian heritage.
Good, but stay cautious.
The money I invested didn't come easily.
I even borrowed a lot on high interest.
You borrowed money?
Yes, but it's from an old friend.
He also holds shares in my company.
So we must succeed on the first try.
There is no alternative for exit.
Understand?
I understand.
Come in.
What is it?
It's alright. Speak.
I heard this time with the Legend show, the new models' pay got cut a lot.
The budget was really tight this time.
To them, it's already not bad.
To be able to participate in such a show as a new model,
they should be secretly happy.
But their basic living costs...
Enough. Leave if there are no other matters.
I still have important matters to discuss.
Yu Tian, did you hear me?
This rascal.
His capabilities are less than his temper.
He also loves to be a busybody.
Let's continue to talk.
Okay. Let me explain Oagig's proposal to you.
You mean, I actually don't get that much money.
Smart.
Then it's just a bubble show.
You should say that this is a rare opportunity.
It's a positive way of promotion.
It's not the gossipy promotion that is self destructive on the internet.
Wouldn't that be lying to others?
The lies that don't hurt anyone are fine.
You don't need to feel pangs of conscience.
When numerous graduates are still looking for something to feed themselves,
your luck is already quite impressive.
Think about it. Get back to me tomorrow, okay?
I believe Legend can easily find another Liu Jiao Yang, Li Jiao Yang, or Wang Jiao Yang.
What do you think?
Why is it so urgent? What's wrong?
The sample is out already?
It was made according to your size. Go and try it on.
Here?
Over there. Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Don't laugh at me if it doesn't look good.
Xiao Tian, that girl who was on the runway with you, she hasn't been coming here lately.
Did she really leave your company?
It's not easy to find work now. Why didn't you help her?
Didn't she do well? Why did she leave?
She's doing quite well now.
Really?
Xiao Tian, why are you so reluctant to talk?
It's like squeezing a toothpaste.
I think, other than me, no other woman would be willing to be with you.
Xiao Tian, the fish are specially fresh today. Since we don't have many customers now,
why not call her over for dinner?
I'll make a fish soup. You'll definitely love it.
I...
What's wrong with you?
Think of it as I'm inviting you both to come try my dish. Can't I do that?
Okay.
Go now.
Incoming call. [Shanghai] Rotten rascal Zhao.
Hello?
Hello? Are you looking for Song Jiao Yang?
Was it for me?
No, he said he called the wrong number.
What do you think?
Is it okay?
No.
I don't look good in it?
It's not that you don't look good. It's perfect.
Double.
Double?
The outfit and the person.
My confidence has grown tenfold.
I'll tell you another piece of good news.
What good news?
What are you up to?
You are so mysterious.
Chief Designer at Oagig?
Song Jiao Yang?
Me?
Is this real?
There is an official company seal.
God.
I was going to take ten years to reach the Chief Designer position.
This is all too sudden.
It's because you are already excellent.
I really can't believe this.
Is this all real?
Is everything real?
Hello! Don't be so happy so soon.
I have conditions.
Conditions?
Leave Legend.
Resign from Legend and completely devote yourself to Oagig.
You should say that this is a rare opportunity.
It's a positive way of promotion.
It's not the gossipy promotion that is self destructive on the internet.
This...
What's wrong?
Is there a problem?
I believe Legend can easily find another Liu Jiao Yang, Li Jiao Yang, or Wang Jiao Yang.
What do you think?
Regarding salary...
You know that Oagig is still just starting. It won't be very high.
But don't worry, it will definitely match the level of similar professionals.
This has nothing to do with that.
I already signed a spokesperson modeling contract with Legend today.
Spokesperon model?
For Legend's entire line of merchandise.
Also, the promotion activities will be a lot.
Then I should congratulate you.
You're not unhappy, are you?
Your career is getting better and better.
How can I not be happy?
Should I be like a woman and be jealous of you?
But I still disappointed you.
Then we don't need to be polite for polite's sake.
Can you still continue to revise designs for Oagig?
Will you still accept me?
Miss Superstar. Don't you get it?
It's I who is begging you now.
I will definitely work hard.
From the day I entered the Institute of Clothing Technology,
I worked hard in order to get into the Legend Group.
I've finally fulfilled my wish,
but I'm actually working as a model.
Don't you think fate likes to pull a fast one on people?
I think fate is very mysterious.
Just like them.
When you look at them, they look like giant monsters
full of mystery and the unknown.
But, I believe someday I will conquer them.
Are you referring to that or fate?
Probably both.
Good ambition.
Sometimes, I feel that I'm lacking in courage.
I've seen the very self-confident and ambitious Song Jiao Yang. Is there another side to you?
At Legend, I'm really just a puppet controlled by them.
I don't really deserve that kind of pay with my experience.
But in this circle, is it really by promotion
that one gets to survive?
But no matter what,
you have achieved what many young girls dream about.
- Don't you think that you're very lucky?- Yes.
But as the future gets more and more colorful and becomes more enticing,
I become more worried
that I will be lost in there
and forget my dream.
Actually, I'm the same.
I'm also afraid that I will be dazzled by the flowers and applause around the stage,
and forget about my ultimate personal goal.
Ultimate personal goal? What is it?
Anyway, I need to thank you for agreeing to help me.
Actually, you're also helping me.
You're helping me realize my dreams.
I should be the one thanking you.
We seem to be giving thank-you speeches.
I believe that day will come.
Why don't we treat it as an early rehearsal?
I'll go first.
I'd like to thank CCTV and MTV.
I'd like to thank Song Jiao Yang.
♫ I will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
♫ Happiness and sadness appear one after another. ♫
♫ After going through a struggle with love and hate, ♫
♫ to have my wish fulfilled, ♫
♫ regardless of winning or losing, I won't lose hope. ♫
♫ We will charge forward with the sun, against the wind. ♫
♫ Neither of us giving way to the other. ♫
