Hello Gorgeous
Episode 16
Let go.
I shouldn't have pulled you.
Who knows. If you get hit again,
you may make them even again.
Oh my god.
Do you know how much this dress cost?
I have only worn it twice.
I think I definitely drank too much last night.
How could I be so clueless and slept here?
These are the clothes from yesterday's runway show. Just choose anyone.
How old am I? I can't wear these revealing clothes.
You really want to be someone's wife that bad? Then why didn't you get married?
Why don't you propose to me again? I may accept.
You better not like me.
I really don't want to see you heartbroken and losing the will to live again.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Ah Ying. Wait a minute.
What is Song Jiao Yang like?
She takes a pile of clothes here everyday, cutting and sewing.
But I think she has some creative talent.
You are right. She and Li Zhen were the ones that made the fake Oagig famous.
You have to watch out. Young people can come with a vengeance.
If these youngsters still have the energy,
I'm willing to die on the beach.
Don't forget to prepare Li Zhen's exclusive modeling contract.
You are going to shoot a commercial?
I can't afford commercials. I just want to do some magazine platforms.
Okay, I know.
Pay more for the model's appearance fees.
Also, don't keep calling me Ah Ying in front of my students.
You even said a bunch of useless things.
I like to separate business from personal affairs.
I know, Teacher Vivian.
Be careful on the roads.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. Is he crazy?
Lunatic.
Delivery guy? Over here.
These are the food you ordered. It's a total of RMB$28.
Thanks a bunch.
You like her too?
Who likes her? Weird.
Why are you looking at her if you don't like her?
Take a look. It's Le Yao's new photos.
She's hot now just because of those other photos.
That's right. Women like her are willing to do anything.
What are you doing? Are you crazy?
Do you only want money and not reputation any more?
You told Le Yao to take those photos?
The entire Le family's reputation is ruined.
No, uncle. Listen to me, Uncle.
It's all because of you, Li Zhen.
Come with me.
Dad. Let go.
Come with me.
What are you doing, dad?
Li Zhen. Come out now!
You bastard. Where are you? I'm going to get even!
Uncle Le. Why are you looking for him?
I'm going to settle score with that rascal. Look at what my Le Yao has become.
It's a misunderstanding, right?
Misunderstanding? I'm going to kill him. I...
Uncle Le. It can't be about Le Yao taking those nude photos, right?
Do you need to be so furious about it?
I'm going to find that rascal and clarify things with him.
He said that Le Yao will rise again. Rise my ass!
Now our Le Yao is completely ruined!
Even my hometown relatives know about what Le Yao did.
I'm going to chop him.
Where is Li Zhen? Dad. Stay calm.
You must stay calm. We can't create casualties.
Uncle Le.-I'm going to chop...
I obtained Le Yao's consent for this.
She's already 20 years old and considered an adult.
She should be clear of what the consequences will be.
Brother Xiao Zhen! -Clear my ass!
Do you know what others are saying about my precious daughter?
How do you expect me to face others?
Since she wants to be famous, she has to sacrifice.
If she didn't think of that, she doesn't qualify to be working in this industry!
You rotten rascal.
Move aside! I'm going to kill you!
Dad!
Uncle! Dad, are you alright?
What's going on?
Aren't you going to call for an ambulance now? Dad, wake up!
Dad, wake up!
Dad. You must hang on.
Quick. Dad, hang on.
Dad, wake up! Dad!
Le Yao. Don't worry. Don't be afraid.
Dad. Wake up! Dad!
What happened?
Dad. Dad. You must hang on.
What's wrong with Feng Shang?
Who poked the wasp's nest?
That Le Jin Bao. Came here creating trouble for no reason.
If he didn't want this to happen, why did he let it?
When did you two become Li Zhen's assistances?
And you, Guan Sen, didn't you hate him very much?
Just because he feeds you, you are willing to sell your soul?
Don't talk nonsense.
I'm talking nonsense? I'm stating facts.
What is selling your soul?
Tell me, what benefits has he given you guys?
I'm not going to waste my time talking to you.
You are going to retire soon. What do you know?
Feng Shang changed a long time ago.
Right now Li Zhen is in charge.
Even President Zhou has to listen to him.
Why?
You don't need to know about this.
You just need to know that Li Zhen is not just only a model now. Don't offend him.
Le Yao! Le Yao!
President Li.
You left after halfway,
instead you are hiding here watching it over and over again. What gives?
President Li, I'm thinking about this show.
I think this show
is definitely not something Vivian could have put together.
From the music to make up, everything,
it must be that disobedient nephew of yours who did that.
You only just found out?
Don't you feel that you found out too late?
You... you already knew?
This is already in the past.
Find sometime soon to meet Feng Ru Song.
Lolita's models must be ours.
We can't afford to lose again.
Understand?
No. No. No.
I don't think Lolita will be a success.
Show will be provoking,
but that's only in the realm of art.
Consumers may not buy it.
Trust me. My foresight is never wrong.
Romeo.
In the past, I always thought that you are someone with great foresight.
That's why I spent so much money to hire you here.
Are you suffering from presbyopia now? You can't seem to see any situation clearly.
When we lost the client Feng Ru Song, why didn't you think about how to save him?
Do you want to see Li Zhen climbing over my head?
President Li, don't worry. I will definitely get him.
Wake up.
Don't disappoint me again.
I won't.
Please.
Bastard. Telling me what to do.
Sorry. There were some changes in the plans. And the commercial design needs to be started over.
I'm sorry, Mr Zhao Yu Tian.
It's OK.
Okay. In any case, your qualifications don't meet our tastes.
Let's go.
What a coincidence, President Zhou.
It's not a coincidence. I came here to take your job away from you.
President Zhou. I never thought that you would personally come here. We are very honoured.
This is Li Zhen, the model who is going to collaborate with you.
Hello. Glad to meet you.
It's my pleasure too.
Hello. Please take a seat, I'm going to get our contract.
Okay.
By the way, Boss Luo,
you don't need to send any more pictures to the new men's magazine.
Li Zhen is set to be featured on the cover.
Who would have thought President Zhou is good at
honest businesses too.
I have to thank you for your guidance.
I didn't know until now how bright a modeling management company's future can be.
There's more business than I can handle everyday.
I would like to decline some but I can't.
Li Zhen. Who told you to be so popular now?
You'll have to bear the workload for now.
I will, President Zhou.
Don't break your back working so hard.
The air is so tense here.
I'm going out for some air.
Regretting yet? I did ask you to stay.
I have never known what regret is.
Hello, Vivian.
Sign for Lolita's exclusive model?
Okay, I got it. We'll talk about it later.
What? That Feng guy wants to sign you up?
You've already got a huge sponsorship for him.
You can't go easy on him on the endorsement fees now.
Slowly. Keep up the good work.
Put them right here would be fine.
Sir. Please stop for a second.
Isn't that Li Zhen's car?
That's the one. Okay.
Come. Let me do it.
Slowly.
Here. Okay.
Be careful.
Sir. Let's go.
This one is good. This one has problem in the collars.
Think about it yourself.
When you are done, hand them to me.
Okay.
Hello.
Hello. May I ask who you are looking for?
Li Zhen.
He didn't come in today. May I ask who you are?
I'm his former agent.
I didn't realize he'd be doing so well.
That's all thanks to you guys.
How about I give you a cup of water, and then I'll give President Li a call.
No need. I was in the area so I stopped by.
I should leave.
Subtitles brought to you by The Gorgeous Models Team @ Viki
I have confirmed that it's done by Li Zhen.
Also I asked which company brings the materials.
They said they use Dong Nan company.
The materials also belong to them.
President Li, your company still has a lot of machines available right?
He'd rather ask a third party than asking you.
Okay. Don't talk about this anymore. Let's go and eat first.
You are so good at keeping your temper in control.
You are so calm even when your nephew is acting against you.
Do you expect me to be scared of a kid?
Start the car.
In other words,
he'd rather have an unrelated company make the money,
than giving the orders to Legend?
Is this the case?
Yes, Dad.
Bastard.
In the worst case, he is working with others to crush us.
Shut up. I'm talking about you.
Have you been reflecting yourself?
When you were managing the factory all these years,
how much has the sales percentage gone down?
The business had no hope.
What right do you have to criticize others?
Enough.
At the very least, Li Zhen didn't use his father's influence to succeed.
So much more capable than you.
But...
there are certain things that you don't know about.
In order to work with Dong Nan,
he's even willing to date President Han's limp sister.
He can do such things to bring shame to this family.
Frankly, I didn't want to tell you but you...
Is this true?
Positive.
What are you saying? You are not accepting it?
Is it hard for you? Then I'll tell them myself.
What are you doing? How many people have had their eyes on becoming Lolita's exclusive model?
I got it. You feel that Feng Ru Song only promotes in print.
It's not enough to satisfy you. Right?
Right. By becoming an exclusive model,
I may lose a lot of opportunities.
You don't want to have the exclusive contract title and lose out on other endorsement deals.
But you know, to be an agent, I need to be creditable.
I already accepted it.
Vivian, I will be frank.
Sometimes, you are like an innocent girl.
As an agent, shouldn't you be responsible to allow your models to have a better platform to expend?
Okay, I will talk to Feng Ru Song.
After all, I can't take you there on a leash.
Don't tell me you have your eyes set on being the exclusive model for Dong Nan.
No wonder you are getting close to General Manager Han.
Can't I do that?
Why do you look at me like that? Do you think I'm selling my looks?
On you, I wouldn't be surprised.
This is how it's like in this industry.
Especially, if this is happening on the cunning Li Zhen. Not surprising.
I will wait for you to arrange it then.
Okay.
I got it. You may go.
Do you want me to look for another model?
No, thanks. I will settle this on my own.
Don't throw tantrums like a kid.
I know that this time, it is my fault.
This is not your problem in the first place.
But let me tell you, without this guy, I can still do it.
Okay then.
Look at this place. It looks like a pig sty.
Why don't you hire some design students?
At least they understand the local fashion market.
What you are trying to say is that you want a recently graduated design student to teach me how to design clothes?
I just think that you don't pay enough attention to the fashion market.
I'm the only one that'd be nice enough to tell you this.
Being so proud, you won't achieve much in China.
So what? You want me
to follow suit behind the current fashion trends?
Make those easily marketable, low quality fake products?
But as a businessman, we have to first make sure the product sells, before we can consider its artistic qualities.
Ever since we knew each other, we've argued about this.
I don't want to fight with you about this any more.
I thought that after all these years, you would have learned.
Looks like I'm being naïve.
You have no luck with that word.
What is it that you can't tell me over the phone?
Do you know how precious my time is?
I may lose the creativity of a masterpiece because of some trivial meeting.
And who'll be responsible for the losses of material that our Dong Nan company is supplying you?
The material Dong Nan is supplying me isn't for nothing.
So you are aware of it.
This is the trademark purchasing contract.
Would you sign it?
Purchasing what?
Lolita.
When did I agree to give you Lolita?
As Lolita's only sponsor, Dong Nan certainly has priority for this project.
Furthermore, to be under the umbrella of Dong Nan,
I think, even for a big name designer,
would still be something highly coveted.
So this is how major companies treat fashion designers in China.
I heard that you studied fashion design too.
Why don't you make a brand yourself, instead of focusing on Lolita?
That's my private business.
Please don't change the subject.
Sorry. What you said is not part of Dong Nan's contract.
I refuse.
Take your time with your drinks.
Jiao Yang. Are you at the company?
Yes. Help me to make an appointment
with Legend's Li Zhao Qin. I want to talk to him about our collaboration.
Didn't you already decline him?
That was the past. We are talking about now.
I'm someone that only knows business, and lack common sense.
The business is getting bigger and bigger, adding more and more brand names,
so it's hard for me to take care of everything.
I'd like to thank you in advance for depending on you in the future.
If I said anything wrong in the past, please forgive me.
But I would like to clarify something first.
Speak.
My designs cannot be affected.
Of course. I am hiring you because I appreciate your character.
Okay. Let's have a good collaboration.

General Manager Han.
Why isn't priority purchase rights included in the contract with Feng Ru Song?
Initially there was, but I took it out.
Why did you do that?
I spoke to Manager Han on this matter,
by sponsoring with materials, the advertising effect has been reached.
What reason is there to risk buying a new brand name that hasn't been tested in the markets?
This was my brother's intention?
No. I gave him the idea.
Wait. Then who would Feng Ru Song sell Lolita to?
Legend?
You're right.
Lolita has an uncertain future.
Isn't it great to be handed to an opponent to explore?
I didn't know there's so much about fabric cutting.
Did you think that I wasted my time understudying at the 100 year old boutique in Europe?
By the way,
You can be my student.
I will teach you how to play with the scissors.
If I want to be your student here, I'm afraid I'd first have to put on an apron
and wipe the tables and mop the floors.
Teacher, didn't you hire a maid?
Jiao Yang, have you ever thought about what you will be like in 5 years?
Will you be like Ah Ying?
Who is Ah Ying?
Vivian An is Ah Ying.
You are referring to Sister An?
It's in 5 years time. Why would I think about this now?
I don't want to age 5 years for no reason.
Furthermore, fashion designing is a job where I can work when I'm old.
But to be a model, it's only when we are in our prime.
Sister An was the one who told me this.
I think she is right.
She is looking for you now because she sees you as a pot of gold.
She can say whatever she wants but she's right in one aspect.
A woman's youth shorter than a rabbit's tail.
One day you can't do runway shows or photo shoots anymore,
you'll beg and cry to be my student but it'll be too late.
Teacher, you have finally seen my potential.
A day will come
when you will proud to have me as your student.
I heard that Teacher Feng joined Legend.
That's right.
I also think that this was all too sudden.
He had said he wasn't going.
But no matter what reason, it's a good thing for me.
If he goes with Legend, I will have plenty of opportunities to learn fashion design from him.
Come buy some books with me.
Okay.
What I can't stand are people who fool themselves.
Han Qi Shan?
Long time no see.
You two know each other?
More than know each other. Song Jiao Yang, how are you?
I heard that you became a model. You even took part in the Super Model contest.
Did it go well? You didn't fall, did you?
In this world, the speed at which rumors spreads is truly out of people's imagination.
I'm doing fine. How about you?
Are you doing well?
You are finally back from your oversea studies.
Now, should I call you Han fashion designer?
When will you be holding your fashion show for us to witness?
Whether I become a fashion designer or not, it's none of your business.
But you,
who were once a great student designer, is today a soulless cloth hanger.
It is truly tragic.
Your acerbic wit hasn't changed at all.
Your self-worth is mighty as always.
Setting traps for others everyday,
hoping for others to fall,
has finally twisted an ankle of her own.
That's why one should never overstep boundries.
There will be retribution.
Have you said enough? Mocking at someone who was in a car accident?
Are you that kind of woman?
Song Jiao Yang, I feel ashamed for you.
Car accident?
I never thought that the General Manager
Li Zhen was referring to is Han Qi Shan.
I haven't seen her for so many years.
She went overseas after her graduation.
She lost contact with everyone.
She didn't come to the graduation runway show.
That must have been when the accident was.
You are probably more puzzled by why she's by Li Zhen's side.
Whoever Li Zhen is with now,
it has nothing to do with me.
He and I are over.
Even if he's with my old enemy Han Qi Shan,
so what?
Jiao Yang.
I never imagined that you and Jiao Yang were classmates.
It's a small world.
We are born enemies.
It must be fate.
You used to be together.
You don't have to tell me. I could tell from the look on your faces.
She already has another man,
so you found me to kill boredom.
Kill boredom?
Do you think that highly of me or so lowly of yourself?
Fine. Let's talk business.
Dong Nan is looking for a spokesperson for its new product, right?
Right. The preliminary choice is the man standing next to Song Jiao Yang just now.
Zhao Yu Tian.
That's the result from the advertising team's discussions.
They think he's fitting to be the spokeperson.
Is there no better choice?
For the present, no.
General Manager Han seems to have forgotten
that I'm also a model.
Don't tell me that you are using work to take revenge.
No. Between love and business, I'm very clear on what's more important.

Le Yao, you can't go in. We're having a meeting.
I want to see Brother Xiao Zhen.
Le Yao, You can't go in. They are in a meeting.
What brings you here?
The lead models are Brother Xiao Zhen and I. Why is he the only endorsement model?
Le Yao. We are in a meeting now. I will explain to you later.
No. Tell me now.
Let her talk.
Brother Xiao Zhen. What is going on? We are partners.
Le Yao, Wake up. This is a commercial for men's clothing.
You still need a female partner.
Why are you kicking me to the side and secretly signing a contract?
I was the one who helped make the last show a success.
Brother Xiao Zhen. How could you do this to me?
Don't create fuss with no basis here.
Li Zhen, this kid is not only your partner on the show. Right?
It looks like your relationship runs deeper.
So much drama.
Are models all like this?
Vivian. Is this your professional and experienced models?
Please teach her first before you bring her out to meet clients.
What are you talking about?
My apologies for what happened just now.
You should manage it well then.
I heard that you secretly signed a contract with Dong Nan behind Le Yao's back.
Stepping to new highs with her help, then toss her to the curb?
Even if you want to drop Le Yao, you should have taken another model from Feng Shang.
Don't tell me that you are going to take a model from another company instead of your own?
Furthermore, who can still partner with you at Feng Shang?
Other than me, who else is there?
I didn't know you'd be so keen on a commercial for Dong Nan.
Wasn't it your dream to be Legend's endorsement model?
Is that not enough? Do you also want to be the wife of Legend?
Li Zhen is with Dong Nan's Han Qi Shan. Do you know that?
I heard about it. What's wrong?
Both of them seem very ambitious.
If they join hands, they will be a threat on you.
They are small fry. How could it bother me?
Frankly speaking, recently,
it bothers me when I don't see you.
Ao Fu, I've lived this long, but never really felt anything for any woman.
Until you showed up, all that changed.
Love is such a big problem.
Come in.
Boss Luo, what is it?
Sit down.
Originally I was trying to secure Dong Nan's endorsement contract for Yu Tian,
but Li Zhen the rascal ran me out again.
I hear that boy has been using his looks to seduce the the daughter of Dong Nan's owner.
He sure has a bag of tricks.
Jiao Yang, you are lucky.
They want to have a TV commercial, and want you to partner with Li Zhen.
No way.
Why? You are going to reject work because of your pathetic history with Li Zhen?
I definitely won't agree.
Using Legend's female model to be a partner in Dong Nan's male line,
are you not scared to make President Li unhappy?
Don't worry about that. In this circle, we don't care about name or fame.
They are paying a lot of money.
Money. You only know money.
Of course! What else is there to talk about? Love?
It's common to not want to work with one's ex-boyfriend.
Rotten rascal. What do you know?
Are you a professional model or not?
Let's go.
Come with me.
Where are we going?
Come with me.
Yu Tian. What are you doing?
Why did you bring me here?
You can reject an offer like that once, but not ten times, a hundred times.
As long you are in this circle, you can't escape from it.
Unless you don't want to become a model and be a fashion designer instead.
When are you going to be a real fashion designer?
You said that you wanted me to be your lead runway model. Trying to go back on your words?
I still need to wait for another 5 years.
When the time comes, you'll be old.
You definitely won't be a model anymore.
That's why I had to rush and encourage you.
I really want to wear the clothes designed by you.
Teacher.
You already have so many new designs?
Rubbish. They are all rubbish.
President Li is asking me to find ideas out of this garbage.
What a joke.
Furthermore, it's very painful.
Do you know who designed this rubbish?
Who?
Your ex-lover, Li Zhen.
Look at this.
Copied from the latest oversea designs,
and then took it to Dong Nan to be manufactured.
Then took it to the internet for sale, and it even got popular!
Of course, it's only RMB$30 a piece,
with steady production and a new design,
not a surprise it sold well.
Are you surprised?
He's trying to hook me up with Dong Nan and have a mutually beneficial contract.
He's in between, with a profit I'm sure.
Dong Nan must have given him a handsome discount on garment processing.
Furthermore, I believe that all this rubbish is the result of his collaboration with that Ms. Han of Dong Nan.
Your business is my business.
Your SOS brand is going to be Real Clothing's main line.
Real Clothing?
Did you call me out to play basketball?
No. I called you out here to ask you
Do you want to be my partner in a TV commercial?
What?
I know that you are a contracted model with Legend.
You probably usually shoot for 2-D ads, with minimal opportunity of TV commercials, right?
My acting is too poor.
Your acting can be better than anyone.
If you finish this assignment, you and I can do all of runway shows for this line.
Forget it. Don't kid me.
I'm grateful to you but I'm not that ambitious.
I'm already very content with where I am today.
Not like the rest of you. Fighting to be the first out and the last in.
I only want to live my life peacefully.
Is this because of Zhao Yu Tian?
You are afraid that you will hurt him by working with me?
There is something very funny.
Usually, the one who hurts you most
will always be the one you love the most.
I can understand how you feel but waiting patiently isn't the answer.
If you can't get his attention,
how could he care about you?
Consider my offer. I will wait for your answer.
You don't know about the gossips that's going around.
Everyone is saying that Le Yao will not be able to get married now.
Don't listen to their nonsense.
Our Le Yao already has a boyfriend.
He's also a model. He's tall and good looking.
You will see him soon.
They look like a match made in heaven.
The photos that Le Yao took were art.
It's art. Do you understand?
Oh since you are going back home, burn an incense for my precious daughter Le Yao to shield from evils.
I'm very busy right now. I have to get back to the company. I can't go.
Brother Xiao Zhen. I'm begging you. My father said even if it's an act, a show.
Brother Xiao Zhen. I really don't want to see my dad so sad.
I have never been as scared in my whole life.
What if my father...
I'm begging you. He'll be angered to death.
My father's still waiting at the hospital. We just need to let him see us.
You don't need to do anything.
My dad just wants all the friends and family from the boonies know I'm living a good life,
with a loving, refined boyfriend.
Le Yao. Don't you feel that by doing this, the misunderstanding will only be worse?
Brother Xiao Zhen. This is the last time.
You aren't responsible for anything.
Just treat it as acting, OK?
How many times do I need to say this? Do you still not get it?
Have you not been used enough by me?
This is the only relationship we can have.
Didn't you see how I treated Jiao Yang and Ginger?
And Han Qi Shan. We are dating.
I'm this kind of person. Please wake up.
You'll only fall deeper if you stick by my side.
You are already an adult. Be brave.
Go.
Brother Xiao Zhen. I'm sorry. I know you are very busy but I still came to bother you.
Just answer a call and let my father hear your voice. Okay?
I'm begging you, Brother Xiao Zhen.
Dad. Auntie.
Where is Li Zhen?
He's stuck in shooting a commercial.
Auntie, I'll call my boyfriend so he can say hi.
Hello, Brother Xiao Zhen. Are you busy? Say a few words to my auntie. She's totally a star-chaser.
Le Yao. Stop fooling around.
How do you want me to put it that we only have a mutually benefiting relationship?
Don't lie to yourself anymore. Are you not able to grow up?
This... what is this?
Old Le. I'm rushing for the train. Bye.
Wait a minute. He must be shooting a TV commercial, reading the lines.
Dad. What's wrong?
Doctor! Doctor!

Wasn't he getting better?
Where is Brother Xiao Zhen?
He has a runway show tonight. He should be here once he's done.
He won't be here. Le Yao has already begged and begged.
He told me to be brave.
What is being brave?
Is it to smile watching him leave? Or crying while begging him to say he love me?
I won't be that stupid anymore.
I was so stupid that I hurt my father.
He will regret it.
I won't let him get away with this.
Tell me now, how can I destroy him?
That silly girl. She's usually full of spunk,
but he hasn't been through anything.
She wants to take revenge? Pfft.
What about you? Will you just let Li Zhen off like this?
Actually, Le Yao isn't the only one that got tossed to the curb.
Do you know what he said?
He said I have no right to be his partner.
In the end, do you know who he looked for? Jin Sha.
Come in.
About Le Yao's internet fame, it was all your planning, wasn't it?
Have you ever thought on her behalf?
She's only a girl. One day, she will get married.
Now that she's in this state, how is she going to face her husband and children?
Have you thought about these factors?
At that time, wasn't it you who told me to be responsible for Le Yao and help make her start anew?
She chose this path, so she needs to walk it with pride.
Because of you, her father is still critical in the hospital.
Le Yao hasn't had a break from
You turn around and went straight to Jin Sha to be your new partner.
Is this what you mean when you said you'd be responsible for her?
