Pretty Li Huizhen
- Episode 32 -
-Mom. -You had Haoyu leave without eating breakfast.
You made him go home so early in the morning.
He can only go to work after going home to change his clothes.
From now on, bring him home often for dinner.
Have your mother buy him whatever he loves to eat.
-That's right! -There's no need.
That's right! I want to have a talk with Brother-In-Law and get some experience!
He's an Associate Editor! It's a high status!
Who told you to call him Brother-In-Law?
What? Do you have another choice?
Li Huizhen, we so wanted to piss in our pants (scared out of wits) and just marry you off.
We don't want him to regret it!
Pissing in one's pants... Is this idiom to be used in such a situation? Pissing in one's pants...
Hurry and go to school!
Don't talk about me anymore!
I'm going to school!
She still wants to be nosy?
She used the wrong idiom!
I feel that she must have been changing her grades everyday on her way home.
Hurry and eat.
Husheng?
We're a dating couple. We should be... romantic!
Morning!
B-Brother Lin Hao, why are you...?
Why aren't you kissing me?
K-K-Kiss? What kiss? You were dreaming.
When I woke up and opened my eyes earlier, you were kissing me.
You were definitely dreaming!
I just came in and saw you sleeping, so I wanted to wake you up.
Who said I was kissing you?
Brother Lin Hao, why are you sleeping in Husheng's seat?
I was doing overtime last night. I was finding a file in his computer
but I looked for more than 3 hours and still couldn't find it and just fell asleep.
Let's talk some serious matters.
I know about your... little feelings for me,
but why is it only today you...?
Brother Lin Hao, I really didn't kiss you! You were definitely
dreaming! Look at your face!
You were definitely dreaming! And a dirty dream, too!
Did you watch something you shouldn't have watched?
Why were you looking in Husheng's seat instead of yours?
Were you looking for something you shouldn't be?
That's why you sat on Husheng's desk to look for it. Am I right?
You clearly are guilty. Do you know that?
Brother Lin Hao, do you know what this is?
Let me tell you. You watching stuff and dreaming has nothing to do with me.
But you dreaming about me? That's different.
If this gets out, this is called workplace harassment.
A grown man like you has these sort of illusions of a female colleague.
If Meili and Lu Lu found out,
-your reputation... -It'd be all gone.
-Right? -I'm sorry.
I recently might have... I did watch...
-I understand! -I'm sorry, let me tell you.
You must not tell Lu Lu. If they knew, they'll laugh at me for life!
Don't worry. Don't worry. As colleagues, I surely will do as you request.
Hurry and go back to your place now. It's already working hours.
You must not tell.
Huizhen.
Good morning, Associate Editor.
Morning.
Did you sleep well last night?
Not bad.
It should be a bit busy today.
-It's going to rain. -Oh really?
I should get my coat.
-Be careful. -Then I'll get to work first.
Okay.
Really? My god...
I got it. Okay.
I finally know why Lin Yimu moved the interview up that day!
The interview with the director that day?
That's right! My friend who works at New Look told me that
Lin Yimu went to interview for a job with them!
-No way! -Impossible!
Yimu wasn't moved after so many companies had already come looking for him.
Then why did he keep this from us and took a leave of absence?
-Where is he? -Who?
Where is the person who was pirating you?
He left.
Yimu!
-You've come just in time. Did you really go looking at New Look? -Where have you been?
Did you really go to see someone from New Look?
I did.
Hey, friend. What benefits did they give you?
You're not choosing to leave because you can't continue working at Immortal soon?
That's possible. I have such thick skin.
I might actually do such a thing.
Yimu!
I'm joking!
Scared me to death! I said Yimu wouldn't be that awful.
You're too awful.
Honestly! What kind of joke is that?
Excellent hotel employee?
An employee that got in through connections can be the excellent hotel employee? What a joke.
She didn't even study hotel management.
She's so young, and has no work experience.
Just relying on the fact that she's the concierge manager, so what?
What does she know about hotel management?
That's right. She's just using her father's connections. How else could she get in?
She's quite thick skinned.
Lin Yimu!
Are you really going to leave?
What do you think? Do you think I'd go?
No! The Lin Yimu I know isn't like that.
He wouldn't throw friends away when they're in trouble.
He wouldn't think only of himself during the most crucial moments either.
He plays some ridiculous jokes sometimes,
-but he's very kind and righteous and professional. -Enough.
Stop talking.
If you keep going, I'll only love you more and more.
You're this afraid that I'll love you?
Don't worry. I won't go to New Look.
Besides the fact that I'm a loyal person,
gives much importance on friendship, and is a very responsible, handsome man when it comes to work,
there's one more thing. I don't want to let myself regret anything.
It's as you said. If I leave now,
I don't know what Immortal's final fate will be.
So I don't want to let myself regret.
That's good.
But that doesn't mean I won't quit.
I can't bear to leave the friends that have worked hard together,
but seeing you and Bai Haoyu together every day, to me, is torture.
So I might not stay.
[International Fashion Magazine Monthly Sales Chart]
-Hello. -Hello, Associate Director Bai.
Immortal is behind New Look.
It is still ranked second.
Compared to last month, the difference has shrunk,
but... it is still second place.
You know. We only look at results. If it's not first place, then it's meaningless.
Don't forget. If you lose this last chance,
then Immortal's Editing Department will forever disappear and all responsibility
will be on your shoulders.
Five, four, three, two,
one!
"Immortal barely ranks behind New Look."
"They are still second."
How could this be? We've worked hard for so long.
Maybe we are really just destined to be second.
What do we do? Then doesn't that mean, next time we'll...?
Then if we fail again next time, will we lose our jobs?
Enough already. Stop being depressed.
Don't we still have one more chance?
But...! I have to get married!
If I lose my job, my friend won't let go of me!
Husheng, how about you go talk to the CEO?
Say what to the CEO?
Aren't you the CEO's...?
I'm the CEO's... what?
Forget it, forget it.
My goodness, let's not talk about us for now.
If sales won't go up this time, Associate Editor won't be able to live well.
Go back and prepare for the meeting.
Okay, dismissed!
Everyone must have gotten the proposal that we have discussed today.
The celebrities we decided to take photos of,
the movie stars, and Ellen's exclusive interview and the shoot date
have all been prepared.
We have to invite new celebrities for the front page topic we decided on.
Why?
The Lan Mu sisters that got really famous in Hollywood after doing a reality show will be doing a movie soon.
New Look just announced that they're doing an exclusive on them and an interview on the movie.
The Lan Mu sisters that are so popular right now in Hollywood?
Wow... They really are the number one selling magazine!
Huh.. Mm...
Compared to them, Ellen's topics are incomparable.
I think...the Lan Mu sisters are so popular right now. Who can compare to them?
I prepared a list of celebrities whose topics haven't been looked into yet.
But if we start preparing now, wouldn't it be a bit rushed?
If we can't keep it secret,
I'm afraid we won't even keep Ellen's interview.
If even this level of secrecy can't be done,
then that only proves that our ability to control is too low.
A-Associate Editor, should we... think about the magazine's future right now?
The magazine's future? Which part of it?
-I... -What Yaling means is...
If we fail again, are we going to lose our jobs?
Associate Editor, I'm going to get married soon! I cannot lose my job now!
Then leave.
I can't tolerate coworkers only thinking of themselves at this crucial point.
I cannot work together with this type of person.
Yaling was just asking!
I told you all about this before. If we cannot regain the number one spot next month,
Immortal magazine will close.
If anyone else is worried about their future here,
then I will allow all of you to leave. Everyone who wants to leave can leave.
Yaling! Yaling!
I'm sorry. Sister Zhu Ying, I...
Actually, I've always wanted to go study abroad.
My resume cannot have this failure on it.
Leave.
I'm sorry, everyone.
Um... I have to think over it, too.
Leave if you want. The remaining will continue with the meeting.
We just got a break for a few days...
Overlord Bai has appeared again!
Let me imitate for you guys.
"From now on, every group must prepare at least 5 kinds of proposals.
If it can't catch my attention immediately, then don't bother letting me see it anymore.
And also, each group's leader must send the files into my office before the office hour ends."
I can't understand him!
That's right. We've lacked people to start with.
With this sort of workload, how can we manage it?
That's right!
We have to do it even if we can't. This is extreme times. We must make it through this.
But it's also very crucial for Sister Yaling right now! She's always worked so hard!
She's going to get married soon! It's natural to worry about her future income.
How can Associate Editor just fire her like that?
Also, Anna, we worked together for so long!
Associate Editor didn't even say one thing to try and keep her here!
Does he think that assistants right now are not valuable? That he can just look for one anytime?
It's not like that. That's not the way Associate Editor is.
I say, Li Huizhen, he treats you so poorly and you still defend him?
I just...
We have no path of retreat now. We can only do well on the next issue.
If the sales go up, we'll go tell Associate Editor about Yaling, Anna,
and Yimu. I'll go talk.
Next issue? Sister Ying, don't have a crow's mouth.
We're lacking people now. We don't even know if the next issue can be published.
Let me tell you. We just started with Elleshop right now.
It still can't be seen in the sales,
but... I feel optimistic.
No matter what, many of Elleshop's users have become our readers.
Right now, we can only stand firmly and fight steadily, mutually guiding them.
There should be a good ending in the future.
We have to hang in there. We have to fight together!
I say, Sister Zhu Ying, stop defending him.
Perhaps one day when he's in a bad mood, he'll get rid of you, too!
Zhen'er!
-You're back Xia Qiao? -Auntie?
Come and wash up for dinner.
-Why have you come? -I came to see you and make you good food.
Look, there's so much good food.
Zhen'er...
Drink some soup.
How is it? Does it taste good?
Mm! It tastes good. It doesn't seem like you made this.
This taste... seems like...
it seems like my mom's cooking.
Quite a pitiful parental wish. An intention to just cook a meal for one's daughter...
is just...
Xia Qiao, understand your mother. Okay?
Have you not forgiven your mother yet?
Auntie, that's not it.
It's just... in all these years, I've missed her and hated her.
In the end, I took fifteen years to accept that she wasn't by my side.
She's suddenly reappeared in my life now.
I need time to accept all of this.
I understand your feelings.
You still haven't seen your mom's products, right? I'll let you see them.
Look.
Your mom made all of this for you.
From the first day your mom started this jewelry business,
she decided to make you jewelry every year.
She said she'd do it until you got married.
It's like a father preparing a dowry for his daughter.
Your mother made jewelry for you.
She treats you as treasure.
She was lacking in the past.
But in all these years, your mom has wanted to come looking for you.
She just didn't have the guts to do it.
Now, you're grown up, too.
You should understand this.
Everyone has times when they're weak and make mistakes.
I believe that you have them, too.
People only ask for two things in this world.
Love others, and to be loved. While you still have time
and the chance, forgive your mom?
Don't wait until you have no chance of going back,
to regret. No matter what, you only have one mom.
Do you need help with anything?
Yes. Spend some time with me.
Why were you so strict with Sister Yaling and Anna?
You naturally just discuss matters based on their own merits.
But... it's natural for them to have questions.
Why couldn't you listen to them explain
and give everyone some faith?
It's better for them to leave now.
If they go look for jobs only after the magazine closes,
how could they find a good job?
Editors that get fired by a top magazine within the country,
with that reputation, they have no path to take in the magazine realm.
This circle is that cruel.
Give it a try.
So... you feel that if you do this,
they won't leave with too many burdens. Right?
You really are like a kid.
The colder I am to them, the cleaner they can leave.
Instead of letting them go to a new job while feeling regretful towards Immortal,
why not give them a hand instead?
Yaling and Anna are very talented people.
They don't need to be dragged down by Immortal's troubles.
But you'll suffer more this way.
Then hug me. I won't be tired if you hug me.
I'm serious! Hug me.
I was joking.
There's no need for that much pressure.
Do you remember when we were little, we were jealous of the older brothers and sisters that could drink coffee?
At that time, we said we must drink coffee like crazy after we grow up.
Drinking to the point that no one can stop us.
Only when I grew up did I know how bitter coffee was.
How could kids drink such bitter stuff?
We wrongly blamed them later.
We thought that the things grown ups do must be happy things.
Only when we grow up will we willingly do painful things.
While you have time and the chance,
forgive your mom. Don't wait until when you have no chance of going back to regret.
No matter what, you only have one mom.
Hello? M...
Where... are you?
That's right. You don't need to extend my rent next month.
Hello. Is this address here?
Yes. This is our hotel's address.
8646. This is our Presidential suite.
Then... there really is someone here called Lin Yimu?
I'm sorry, Sir. I cannot tell you that.
-Okay then. Thank you. -No problem.
Lin Yimu!
-You live here? -Yes.
Why are you living in a hotel?
Someone washes and cleans for you.
If I'm hungry I can come down and buy food. It's quite nice.
I don't think there's much of a difference from home.
You were looking for me?
I want to ask you to stay at Immortal.
You really are Bai Haoyu.
Your words are always so direct. You don't waste a single moment.
At this time, there's no time to waste anymore.
Immortal has one last chance left.
If you leave now,
I don't have a guarantee that I can keep the magazine.
I know New Look is a very amazing magazine.
It's not just New Look.
I might be forcing you if I ask you to stay now,
but Immortal really needs you right now.
So... can you not leave?
Are you... asking me right now?
Yes. I'm asking you to stay at Immortal.
Huijing came this time to ask for Xia Qiao's forgiveness,
and then bring her to France with her.
Just leave if you want.
You don't want me anymore anyway.
Brother Yimu has already been gone for two days.
He won't really quit, right?
He's too much! He wouldn't abandon us like this, right?
Not really. He already sent me all the reports that he has finished.
You're talking about Lin Yimu, right? This scoundrel, really just loves acting tough.
He says he won't leave,
but I think there's a 80% chance he went to New Look.
Then he's too much if he did that.
That Lin Yimu isn't really not coming, right?
That's strange...
Hello?
Are you Miss Li Huizhen?
Yes, I'm Li Huizhen.
Hello.
I am an employer in Manager Xia's hotel, I'm Du Chuntong.
I haven't been able to contact Manager Xia,
so we could only find a contact number on her info.
What's with her?
Manager Xia quit,
but the Head Manager hopes to keep her.
Please tell her to contact General Manager once she has the time to. Okay?
Okay, I got it.
Qiao'er!
Qiao'er?
[Thing to take care of: 1. Hotel. 2. Car. 3. Cancel my credit card. 4. Cancel my cellphone number. 5. Sort out clothes, shoes, and bags.]
Now, let's keep a distance between us. That's better for us.
Manager Xia quit.
Huijing came this time in the hopes of bringing her to France.
Qiao'er...
Qiao'er!
Li Huizhen.
Why are you here?
Where did you go?
What are you doing?
Why do you want to leave?
-I thought you left! -Who said I was leaving?
I still am not dead. Can you be more like a normal person?
Didn't you say you were going to France? You didn't take me with you!
Who said I was going to France?
Then why did you come to the airport?
I came to send my mom off to France!
Then you're not going?
Well, my mom wants to go.
But she can't stop worrying about me living here,
so I told her I'd go visit when I have time.
You scared me to death! I thought you were going to France!
I'm not going.
I don't care. If you're going to France, you must take me with you!
I forgave my mom. I think I should grow up.
Actually, for this long time,
she has been living a tired life, and not well.
But going back to it.
You couldn't have thought that I was going with my mother to France,
- so you deliberately came here to the airport to stop me. Right? - Yes.
Aren't you being stupid?
Stop crying already. I'm not leaving already, aren't I?
I thought that you have left!
Can you lower down your voice? There are so many people here in the airport.
Enough already. Don't cry anymore. Let's go home.
Take me with you if you go to France.
Ever since, I kept thinking that I am a victim. My mother abandoned me.
My father afterwards then fell in love with another woman. Say, isn't this world so unfair?
I just wanted a complete family yet I don't have one.
Since the moment that my mother left our home, deep within my heart,
it seemed like something went missing and no one filled it up anymore.
Until I met Bai Haoyu. He kept appearing
every time I was at my weakest and needed someone to console me.
I then mistakenly thought that his love can save me,
that's why I made so many mistakes and lies.
Qiao'er...
it's fine. You just haven't grown up yet.
That's right. I even think that at the moment that my mother left me,
I never grew up anymore.
I kept thinking that I'm so unlucky. But actually, in other people's eyes,
I already had too much.
Since I was little, everything for me was too easy to obtain.
My work had been arranged for me.
Everything that needed money had already been arranged by my father.
If I faced any difficulties,
he would personally resolve it for me.
At home, there was even you who would take care of me.
Even if I really did feel bored,
I still had a lot of men outside that were willing to accompany me,
to woo me. What had I wanted that I didn't get?
But even if it was like that,
I still felt very lonely deep inside.
I seemed like I had everything but I actually didn't have anything.
You have something, Qiao'er.
Your parents love you very much. Me, too.
You have a lot of love.
Right now, I already know.
And I also can now understand why my mother left this family.
It's not because she didn't love me. I was actually very fortunate.
Then... going back to it... why did you resign?
And also, that... your clothes upstairs
and those bags, shoes, those things that you treasure a lot...
Those were because... I want to completely,
really become independent.
Independent?
From now on, I'm going to rely on my own strength to sustain myself.
These cards... throwing them away.
Goodbye. Delete.
Delete.
As for you, I really am very sorry.
I said so many hurtful words that day.
Actually, I had already prepared in my mind that he might not forgive me forever.
But when I saw his gaze,
looking at me like I was just some roadside garbage,
I just couldn't take it at that time,
so I vented all my anger to you.
So sorry, Zhen'er. Can you forgive me?
It's fine.
I understand everything that you are saying now.
Anyway, it's enough that we let everything out in the open now.
As long as there are no misunderstandings between us,
then we can't look back and just continue moving forward.
Then it means that you're going to become unemployed, too. Right?
You're going to depend on me now to live, is that it?
You can say it like that.
It's not you can say it like that but it is indeed like that. Let me tell you, you even saying 'you can'...
Oh, my... you're so delicately small...
Then it means that you have to follow me to survive now.
What do you plan to do next, Qiao'er?
I now want to give myself some time
to think very well about what I will be doing next,
what I can do.
Isn't it that the hotel wanted you to go back?
Have you really thought about this matter well already?
I temporarily don't want to consider the hotel matter anymore.
After all, that work was found by my father for me.
Right now, I don't want to depend on my family anymore.
I want to be like you, dashing on bravely undaunted by dangers to be myself this time.
Although I still don't know where to start,
then I'll start with myself.
I'll go up first and wash my face and then place on a face mask.
Then are you still eating? Eating chicken? Not eating anymore?
The beautiful Qiao'er is back.
The beautiful Qiao is back.
I'm currently near your house. Can you come out for a moment?
Near my house?
Qiao'er!
I'll go out for a while.
- Then come back early. - Okay.
- Haoyu. - Huizhen.
Why are you here this late? You wouldn't have just gotten off from work, right?
I'm fine. I just wanted to see you.
Give me 10 seconds. I'll be fine after seeing you.
You being like this alone is really so tiring.
If you really feel sorry for me, then hug me.
I'm just joking with you.
Okay then. I really will be leaving now.
- Good night. - Good night.
