People say Vincy likes you a lot.
It seems you know how to make her happy.
I said, move your car.
You're really have a way with women.
You got into such a mess last time. You still haven't learned a lesson?
Move your car. I'm in a hurry.
Mary. How are you doing? It's been a long time.
Let's do it.
OK. Ready. Three, two...
Vincy said there's no need for the shoot.
Fan, your interview's been cancelled.
Vincy, why did you suddenly call off the interview? What's going on?
What's going on?
We did this interview for you to purge your past.
It hasn't even been published yet. But you've already caused so much trouble.
I don't know what you're talking about. Vincy, can you tell me what happened?
I'll ask you once again. How did you crash the car yesterday?
I told you.
I had to rush to the press conference. I ran into the car in front by accident.
You're lying. Look at this yourself.
Nana just brought this footage here from the security office.
She's considering reporting this to the police.
If this footage goes public, no interview will help you purge your past.
Fan, every normal person will think after watching the footage
that you quarreled with Nana.
Then you ran into her car with yours.
Can you tell us honestly what actually happened?
I didn't quarrel with her. I told her to move her car.
I said it three times. But she ignored me. She wanted to make trouble on purpose.
We don't know if she's making trouble intentionally.
From what we see on the CCTV,
you intentionally caused criminal damage.
OK. I ran into her car.
I can't stop her from pressing charges against me.
Anyway this is my own problem. This has nothing to do with Modes Girl, OK?
Fan, can you tell me what Nana said to you?
I don't want to talk about it again. There's no point mentioning that now.
Vincy, what we need to do now
is to decide what topic we should use to replace Fan's interview.
The interview is just being held back, not cancelled.
I will take care of this matter.
If I still can't solve the problem by tonight,
then I will consider replacing the topic.
Do you think Vincy could pacify Nana?
We both know very well what kind of person Nana is.
She's not even afraid of Master.
Do you think she will make concessions for Vincy?
So you think Fan's interview will get cancelled?
This is good. I don't think the readers are interested in Fan at all.
Now there's an excuse to replace the topic. Actually Nana has done us a favor.
Do you know why Vincy insists on doing Fan's interview?
I don't care if they're having an affair or if Vincy owes Fan a favor.
I don't want to know why.
I only hope that Nana will make a scene about this.
Then Vincy will learn that the publisher doesn't get the final say in everything.
She shouldn't have interfered with editorial from day one.
Now she's screwed up. She asked for this.
Ms. Cheung, the main shop said you can only borrow the clothes for a week.
Is that a problem?
It's OK. No problem.
I'm shooting the photos in a couple of days
I will bring the clothes back after the shoot.
Thank you. There's a total of 12 items. Thank you.
Bye.
Yan, what a coincidence!
It's been a long while, Phoebe.
Do you have a moment? Why don't we grab a drink?
Sure.
There were lots of obstacles with this issue
You have revised the columns on hand many times.
Is there enough time for color separation?
I talked to them this morning.
As long as we can give them the final draft this week,
there's still enough time.
Then let's set a deadline today
for everyone in editorial.
The drafts need to be submitted before 3pm this Friday.
Zoe, is there a problem?
I can finalize the draft once Alan has touched up the photos.
I'll be able to make it.
I still have ten unfinished pages.
I'm still trying to get a slot in the studio.
Yan, is there a mistake in your layout?
What's the matter, Chief?
Who did you suggest as the model for the J. Border shoot?
I suggested Phoebe.
Have you forgotten what I said before?
I will never use anyone who has betrayed Modes.
Phoebe wants to appear in Modes? Fine.
She can when I'm no longer the chief editor.
Phoebe came to see me just now.
She told me she has already terminated her contract with Gina.
She really wanted to shoot some photos for Modes again.
Since she was so sincere,
I don't understand why you're still holding grudges about what happened.
I don't want to repeat myself.
As an editor, I have the right to decide which model I want to use.
I think Phoebe is the best model for my column.
An editor has the right to choose the model.
But I have the final say.
I'd rather use an unknown model than Phoebe.
You're giving up the best choice because of a personal grudge.
You're not being impartial at all.
Martin, you're the acting deputy editor-in-chief.
I want to hear your opinion.
Phoebe used to work for Modes. Now she's back.
I think that's a selling point.
And the rest of you?
It's in the interest of the magazine. We shouldn't give up such a top model.
Actually lots of brands want Phoebe to model for their products.
That's why I agree that she should model for us again.
A lot of Modes readers are Phoebe's fans.
I believe lots of people want to see her in Modes again.
I agree that she should model for us.
OK. Everyone calls me a tyrant. I will respect public opinion now.
But she can't appear on Modes' cover in the next six months.
That's my bottom line. I won't make anymore concessions, OK?
Thank you.
Hey, do you know what happened in the meeting just now?
What?
Our good sister started a fight with Master.
What? Yan, is that true? Did you quarrel with Master?
I didn't. She's exaggerating.
I suggested to Chief that
I wanted to use Phoebe in some photos.
Are you serious?
Master already said he wanted to blacklist Phoebe.
I've worked in Modes for so long.
I've never seen anyone speak up to Master.
You two missed the show just now.
Chief, if you give up the best choice because of a personal grudge,
I don't think you're being impartial.
How did Master respond to that?
At first I thought he would argue.
But then he said he would go with public opinion.
Phoebe just can't appear on Modes' cover.
I can't believe someone could put a rein on our Trend Master. Amazing.
I didn't put a rein on him. But I really am a little amazing.
Will he be mad at you?
Hey, Meg.
What? Did Danielle ask you to come get the draft?
I need one more day to revise it.
Relax. Ivy told me to tell you that
there may be five more pages for your column.
She wants you to be prepared for that.
What? Why is the column suddenly being extended?
You guys haven't heard yet?
What?
This morning Nana filed a complaint with Vincy.
She said Fan damaged her car on purpose.
She even threatened to report it to the police.
This is so serious.
So of course Vincy had to put a hold Fan's interview.
I have a booking later.
What do you two want to talk about? Who goes first?
Nana, I asked you to come because there's good news.
You really like the brand De Tracy, right?
They're looking for a new spokesmodel now.
Vincy has a very good relationship with them
She's very willing to set it up for you.
Thank you very much then, Vincy. But let me be up front.
If sparing Francis
is the cost of referring me to them as their spokesmodel,
you can save your breath regardless of how much I want the job.
Nana, there's no point giving up this chance.
Lots of models only get a chance or two in their entire career.
I'm really confident that once Modes Girl is out,
it will become really influential in the fashion industry.
I'll be working with a lot of different brands.
As long as we're friends,
I'm very willing to help you advance your career.
I can do that myself.
If I'm not pacified,
I won't feel good even if you made me a queen.
Nana, don't be so stubborn. You won't benefit from taking down Fan.
I still want to do it even though I won't benefit from it. So?
He's just a junior editor.
He's not a trump card in your magazine. He's not a relative of your boss.
Ms. Kei, did you need to come in person to beg me for this?
Seriously, is there something going on between you two?
I think lot of people want to make problems go away.
I will comply with whatever request you make if I can.
I'm sure the two of you are having an affair
I can't be wrong.
Yesterday I said something bad about you in front of Francis. He went berserk.
Today you've come to beg me for his sake. You two are really so deeply in love.
Cut the crap. Will you do me this favor or not?
I understand. Your husband has fled. You must feel so lonely.
If Francis is really your man, then we can strike a compromise.
Enough. I only tame here to plead for my colleague.
Fan's not someone special to me.
I just don't want the magazine to be affected before it's published.
Since you can't suck this up, then press charges against him.
I couldn't care less if he goes to jail.
So you're all here? You know what happened already?
Don't worry.
I didn't commit murder or arson. It was just a traffic accident.
Even if she takes this to court, At most I'll have to pay her damages.
Get back to work. I'm fine.
You came to work in Modes in order to purge your past.
If you get involved in another lawsuit before working as a model again,
how do you think people will take it?
We're friends. It's OK. Let's figure out a solution together.
You'll be fine.
Now that woman calls the shot.
She can let it go or make a scene about this. I can't help it.
When God closes a door, He'll open a window for you.
I don't believe there's no solution.
Meg, what if we get Nana's car repaired and pay her damages? Will that work?
Seriously, she wouldn't be Nana if she could be pacified with money.
Hey, why don't we apologize to her?
If this worked, we wouldn't be fretting here
Ask Martha to help us. She's Nana's manager after all.
Nana is the empress dowager in the company. Even Martha has to give in to her.
How can she help us?
Hey, Ada's using Nana for the cover. She'll listen if Ada talks to her.
Don't you know Ada at all?
Work always comes first for her. Why would she plead for Fan?
Hey, you're both editors.
If she makes a big deal about this, you could threaten not to use her again.
She won't give in to us.
But if Master talks to her, she might listen to him.
How about that, Fan? Why don't you ask Chief to help?
No. Nana is so fickle. Maybe she won't blow his up.
Or I could apologize to her in person. Anyway you guys don't need to worry.
OK. If you apologize to her, count me in.
Me too.
Don't leave me out.
You guys are really my brothers.
Tell the driver that the shoot will be done in two hours.
Tell him to come on time to pick me up.
OK.
My tone just now may have been too harsh. Do you mind sparing me a moment?
See? You're still saying there's nothing between you and Francis? Don't be shy.
When did you two start?
Nana, you and Fan used to work together. Can you cut him some slack and let it go?
Didn't you hear my question?
I asked you when you two started. Are you two having an affair?
Yes. We're together. We're having an affair.
Are You happy now?
I told you I was right. Have you slept together?
We have.
You're so candid. That means we're friends.
As your friend, I will support you.
But can I ask you for a gift? Would that be too much?
It's fine. What do you want?
When I was in Martha's office just now,
the first thing that caught my attention when I opened the door was your shoes.
Are they De Tracy's limited edition from last season?
Yes. I'll call their PR and ask them to get you a pair.
That won't be necessary. I like the pair you're wearing now.
I'll have them delivered to you after I get back to my office.
But I want them now.
Thank you.
Danielle, I've pacified Nana. Carry on with Fan's interview.
Hello, Martin. I'm in the lobby of Martha's office right now.
Could you do me a favor please?
Do you remember what you told me several hours ago?
I do.
You said I should be impartial.
But several hours later,
you've come to ask me to hold Nana's cover.
You want to use that as leverage to make her drop the charge against Fan.
Are you being impartial by doing this?
Between friendship and work, I choose the former.
But I choose the latter.
Just now you told me that I shouldn't hold a grudge.
You told me to make the best choice. You told me to be impartial.
Just now everyone thought I was mad. Actually I wasn't.
You had the guts to rebut me. You had the courage to say no.
That shows you have your own views and principles.
It proves that I didn't make a mistake in hiring you.
Where have your views and principles gone in less than five hours?
If Nana really takes issue with this, Fan will be doomed.
If I have to change my principles in order to help my friend,
I don't mind doing that.
If you'll withdraw what you said just now,
I can pretend that you didn't come in and I didn't hear anything.
I'm sorry. I won't do that.
At first I wanted to find someone
to replace Martin as the deputy editor-in-chief
after the next issue is out.
I had two candidates in mind. one's Ada and the other is you.
I'll ask you once again. Will you withdraw what you said just now?
Remember, what you say will determine my decision.
I'm sorry. My answer is still the same. I won't take it back.
If you don't want to help Fan, I'll figure out a way to do it myself.
After the next issue is out,
Ada will become Modes' deputy editor-in-chief.
I didn't make that decision. You did.
Good news. Fan's interview will carry on.
Fan is getting ready in the studio now.
Let's go together to cheer for him when my meeting's over.
Deal. I'll go fetch Fong-fong.
Thank you, Martin.
We borrowed these shoes from a client for a shoot.
They didn't take it back. I think it's the right size.
I can do it myself.
It's OK.
Just think of this as my benefit for bringing you the shoes, OK?
You gave up your heels to help Fan. You're really good to him.
I haven't had many friends in my life.
I've made two since joining Modes. One is you and the other is Fan.
If I were in trouble, Fan would do the same.
Enough...I might get jealous if you keep talking like this.
Done. Stand up and see if they fit.
OK. Thank you very much.
James...Got it. Thank you.
Something happened at Modes?
Nana didn't keep her promise. She uploaded the footage.
It's done already? The shoot's over?
Danielle called.
Ms. Kei gave the order to formally cancel the interview.
Why? She said she had already convinced Nana not to report this to the police.
She didn't report it to the police. But she uploaded the footage online.
Look. The footage was uploaded 15 minutes ago.
The views aren't particularly high. But the comments are nasty.
Annie Wong's aura is very good for our company.
Phoebe is one of the top five models in Hong Kong.
So good to see you. We're having a really hard time
deciding which one of these girls should be our spokesmodel.
Your CEO William specifically called me to be here. So here I am.
I'm gonna give you my best support.
Please have a seat.
Take a 15-minute break.
I will let you know when the next round is about to begin.
Remember,
St. Joeys' selection of its spokesmodel for the Asia Region
is of a closed-door nature.
In other words, you're still obligated to keep this process confidential
even if you're unsuccessful in the audition. Thank you.
I didn't expect to see you here.
If selected by St. Joeys as its spokesmodel,
you must immediately cease to act as the spokesmodel for all other brands.
You'll even have to sign a contract for a fixed term of three years.
It's a fixed term of three years. Do you think it's worth it?
If it weren't worth it, neither of us would be here.
Hello, Ip Long. This is Nana. Can we talk in the garden outside?
The second round of the audition is soon.
Why aren't you preparing inside?
I'm doing that right now.
Those foreigners inside will decide who the winner is.
But the person who can influence their decision is you, Trend Master.
Isn't that correct?
Annie's good. She's fit to be the spokesmodel.
Would you change your mind when you go inside
and tell them that I'm the fittest person for the post?
The reason?
No one else you pick will be able to help you with Modes. But I can.
People say pretty girls are forgetful. I didn't believe it.
But I believe it now. Have you really forgotten what you did?
You wanted to ruin Fan with the footage.
You messed with the people in my company. Why would I help you now?
Chief Ip, I didn't know you were so nice to your subordinates.
Fan Kwok-bong is just a junior editor. What has he ever done for Modes?
Can you recall any column that he's in charge of?
Chief Ip, you want to settle the score with me over a dog?
You want to press charge against Fan. I don't care.
If Fan has to go to jail. I don't care.
Have you ever heard the saying that
you must consider the face of a dog's owner before you hit it?
You want to give Fan trouble. No problem. But you need to call and tell me first.
Now you can't be the spokesmodel because of what you did.
Do you know Chairman Ma came to talk to my dad this morning?
Do you know what they talked about?
Your company is folding three magazines in Singapore next month.
Mr Ma doesn't want a loss in the annual report at year end.
So he asked my dad to become a shareholder.
If everything goes as planned,
my dad will become the second largest shareholder.
If you'll help me this time, I won't forget this favor.
Guys, thank you for taking part in the audition.
Everyone except Ms. Nana Mok can go now.
Congrats, Nana.
Thank you for giving me this chance, gentlemen.
I will discharge my duty diligently as your spokesmodel in the next three years.
Ms. Mok, all the girls today were excellent.
It was very competitive.
But you were able to stand out above the rest
because of the recommendation of the man sitting next to me, Mr Ip.
Thank you so much, Chief Ip.
You're welcome. I was just stating a fact.
I believe in the days to come,
there will be many opportunities for you and Modes to work together, right?
All your photos are on the phone.
You can delete them all. I haven't kept any copies.
Man, can I ask you for a favor?
Shoot. I guess that's the cost of getting back the photos.
I know it's not the company's concern that Fan damaged Nana's car.
But I know he's innocent.
I want you to publish an announcement on the company's website
in your capacity as a senior staff of the company to clarify this matter.
No problem. I'll ask Irene to prepare a draft for DT later.
But this won't help much.
I ran into Fan in the carpark last night. I think he went there to see me on purpose.
He wanted to give me his resignation letter.
Resignation letter?
According to his contract, he can't resign unilaterally.
He said you have
the termination agreement that Martha signed
He said he can resign with immediate effect if you say it's OK.
Before the meeting, I want to apologize to everyone.
I've made some revisions to the final draft.
So you'll all have to strive harder to meet the deadline.
Zoe, talk to color separation and art departments.
Tell them that I'm giving them the final draft a day later.
Are there revisions for all the columns? We're really running out of time.
The columns for you and Yan will be reduced by a quarter.
Ada, I want to increase Nana's cover from 10 to 15 pages.
Is there a problem?
I can manage that on time.
But I don't see the advantage in making the revision.
We all know it's risky to use Nana for the cover.
Now the number of pages is even being increased to 15.
Is it worth taking the risk?
I'll tell you now,
Nana is St. Joeys new Asia Region spokesmodel for three years.
In the next three years,
she can't promote similar products in whatever form.
She can't appear in their ads. She can't shoot for them in magazines.
She can't go on the catwalk for them. She can't appear in any events.
This could be her last time modeling for other brands.
I think it makes sense to go all out this time.
What do you guys think?
OK. Let's carry on then.
Ada, Nana thinks the cover is too monotonous.
She wants it to be more colorful. Touch it up a bit for her.
But she looked at the layout just a couple of weeks ago.
She didn't raise any objections back then.
The blue print's almost ready. She's raising an objection now?
As far as I know,
no model has ever interfered with the creative work of our editorial department.
Although this is Nana's suggestion, I find it quite reasonable.
No matter how little time we have,
we should still do it to make the magazine better.
What's the problem in doing it? Ada, what do you think?
OK. I'll get it done today and submit it to you tomorrow morning.
Thank you. Yan, I've considered this for a long time.
Phoebe really isn't suitable for]. Border's column. Find another model.
We can use Phoebe next time.
Is this your idea or Nana's?
I want to focus on Nana in this issue.
Even though someone has to make a sacrifice, I can't help it.
Nana, what's up? Got it.
Just follow my instructions.
If there's anything you don't understand or aren't happy with,
come to talk to me in person.
Meeting's adjourned.
What? The meeting's adjourned?
Master left in a hurry. Do you think there's a problem in AM?
This isn't about the advertising department.
It's what DT has done. Look at the company's site.
Why is the company making a statement for Fan?
I'm sure Master is going to DT to talk to Ivy.
If we want an answer, let's go and watch the show.
Don't worry, Vincy.
I'm confident that I can find a better column
to replace Fan's eight-page interview.
Ivy, delete the announcement from our website now.
But Mr Chi told me to post it there. How can I account to him if I delete it?
Tell him that I'm Modes' chief editor. I'm the final decision-maker in DT.
I won't allow any biased opinions to appear on the website. Delete it now.
I've read the announcement too. I find it quite objective.
I don't think it's biased.
It's not biased?
The announcement says the company trusts Fan's character without reservations.
The incident may not be as simple as what everyone sees on the footage.
What does that mean?
So we're saying that someone made this up to frame Fan with a malicious intent?
Is that what it means?
What's the problem of saying that?
We only have the surveillance video without any sound.
You can say Fan lost his temper and damaged Nana's car.
You could also say Nana provoked him on purpose.
She asked for it.
I don't have time to argue with you about the possibilities.
There's only half an hour left.
If Nana can still see the announcement on our website in half an hour,
she will sue the company.
She will sue Modes and the person who released the announcement.
Chief Editor Ip, are you afraid of Nana or her father?
OK. Let me tell everyone something.
There's going to be a new shareholder in our company soon.
His shareholding will only be second to that of Chairman Ma.
In other words, he will become a major shareholder of our company.
That person is Nana's father.
No wonder you're so concerned, Chief. So the princess has given you the order.
Chief, you wanted to revise the pages for the next issue.
You wanted to increase the pages for Nana.
Is it because her dad will soon become the second largest shareholder of the company?
Just do as I said. I don't need to explain why to you.
It's really simple. You're a brownnoser. I thought Chief Editor Ip was really noble.
But actually the Trend Master is just a bootlicker.
Ms. Kei, playing along is the key to surviving in the commercial world.
What's wrong with me thinking this way?
As long as Modes' reputation and sales aren't affected,
what's the big deal if I use a few pages to do someone a favor?
But you're sacrificing Fan.
The workplace is an arena.
How surprising is it that someone will get sacrificed?
Ms. Kei, you still have a lot to learn in order to survive in the workplace.
Fine. If you guys think Fan Kwok-bong's been wronged
and you want to clarify this for him, please go ahead.
You can publish an announcement in the newspapers.
You can buy air time from the radio. But nothing will be said here in Modes.
If you think that's a problem for you or you can't comply with that,
the door is there.
Yan, Danielle said Fan submitted his resignation to Mr Chi.
Vincy has approved it.
What? How come?
No wonder I couldn't reach him all morning.
He didn't answer my calls.
I found his desk really clean and tidy this morning.
I knew something was wrong. What should we do now?
Find him. WhatsApp him.
Why didn't you tell us you wanted to resign?
Show up now.
We can talk. This isn't the end.
Where are you? We'll come see you right away.
We're waiting for your call. Call us immediately.
Listen up. You only have an hour.
If you don't call me in an hour, we won't befriends anymore.
Hi, Zita.
Mr Ma, we're waiting. Come in.
OK.
These are files on Modes' operation and financial statements
from its first issue till now.
Thank you, Man.
You're welcome.
These three gentlemen are the auditors we hired.
They will assess Modes' asset value. Then our board will come up with a price.
I'm sure you will be happy with our offer, Mr Ma.
Oh, there's no rush. Take your time.
I know very well Modes' asset value. I believe you know it very well too.
Don't worry.
The directors in the States assigned me to be in charge of Modes' acquisition.
Basically, I call the shots in this matter.
I'm confident that this will be a win-win for both parties.
Good.
David, you guys can start.
Yes, Ms. Hung.
Zita, I want to discuss something with you in private.
No problem. Let's talk in the room.
OK.
Hey, Nana, I was about to call you. I thought you had forgotten the appointment.
Alan, you can set the backdrop now.
OK. It'll be done in no time. Remember we can only shoot until noon.
OK. Brother Ken, you can start doing her makeup.
OK. No problem.
Nana, there are several images in this set of photos.
Let's work on the look for the cover first. Come on.
Wait a second, Ada. I told Master to change the color in the layout.
Why hasn't it been done yet?
Actually I've already changed the color slightly.
I will touch up the other things on the computer during post-production.
No more excuses. This isn't my first time doing a shoot.
I won't model until you change the color.
Nana, please do me a favor.
If we don't get the shoot done today, I won't get the blue print ready in time.
Then our next issue will be late.
OK. But if I'm not happy with the photos, you can't print them. Ken, go ahead.
Fan, you've come in?
Why didn't you answer the phone all night?
Did you come in to withdraw your resignation?
I didn't call you guys so you wouldn't bother me.
Master called me this morning. He said I have to sign the agreement too.
Once I've signed it, I can then officially end my relationship with Modes.
Are you sure you want to do this?
Why don't you wait until Modes Girls is out?
If you leave now, you'll lose.
Calm down. Let's go to lunch after I sign the agreement, OK?
Come on. Get back to work.
Fan...
You've come in? Give me a moment.
I'll deal with your agreement after I get something done first.
William hasn't called yet?
Not yet. He sent me an email last night.
He said it may not turn out as we speculated.
What about St. Joeys' website? Any public announcement?
No. But I heard about this.
Several fashion sites abroad are talking about this.
Tin, anything from other people in the industry?
Just now someone based in Paris
told me that the board meeting over there will carry on until Sam.
In other words, all we can do now is wait.
Good take. Take a break for 30 minutes. Nana can put on fresh makeup.
Zoe, when will Ada finish shooting the photos?
The slot ends at noon. There's still an hour.
Chief...
Give me a moment. I'm still busy.
Hey, he really thinks you can spend all day waiting.
It's OK. I'm unemployed anyway. I've got so much free time.
William, how did it go? Great. I'll see you soon. OK. Thank you.
How is that?
Go to the studio now and call off the shoot.
Excuse me. You can stop now. Chief said there's no need to shoot anymore.
Martin, what's going on? Chief wants to change the layout?
This isn't about the layout. Chief thinks there's a problem with the model.
He's already asked Phoebe to come in half an hour
to carry on with the shoot.
What did you say? I'm being replaced? Is this your idea or Ip Long's?
It's Chief's idea. You can call him to verify.
I will go talk to him myself.
Ip Long...Where are you? Zoe, is Ip Long here?
Nana? You want to see me?
You want to replace me and ask Phoebe to shoot the cover? Is that true?
Don't just smile. Answer my question.
Calm down. Replacing a model is no big deal.
Whoever's more suitable will do the shoot.
Ip Long, don't ever forget that
you asked me to be on the cover.
Now you want to dump me?
Fine. You're free to shoot whoever you like. I don't care.
I'm St. Joey's Asia Region spokesmodel now.
Their market is Greater China. That means all of Asia.
Do you think I'm desperate to be on the cover of your junk magazine?
Oh, I forgot to tell you that St.Joeys' CEO William called me just now.
They held a meeting from last night till this morning.
They just confirmed a very important decision.
They're indefinitely postponing their venture into the Asian market
in order to pool all their resources.
All the plans they made earlier are being put on hold indefinitely.
What does that mean?
I signed a contract with them for three years.
Don't worry. They'll fulfill their part of the contract.
They will pay you the spokesmodel fees for three years in full.
But you'll have to fulfill your part of the contract too.
In these three years,
you can't be the spokesmodel for other related products.
You can't be in ads for them. You can't promote their product.
You can't even appear in other junk magazines worse than Modes.
You can't be in any photos at all
until the three-year term has expired.
A model's career is short-lived.
No one will remember you in three months, let alone three years.
By then even if you still have the courage to be a model again,
it'll be hard for you to compete with the teenagers, right?
Ip Long, you helped me become St. Joeys' spokesmodel. Was that a trap?
You already knew that there was a chance they'd give up the Asian market.
You let me sign the contact to trap me, right?
I just took my chances. But you were unlucky. You lost.
You've won. So?
Like you said, you have to give face to a dog's owner before hitting it.
There's a chance that my dad will become a shareholder of this company.
When that happens, you will be the loser, not me.
Fine. I'll find a new job then. What about you?
You don't have to work for three years. You can just while away at home.
Ip Long, you're know their CEO well.
They'll let me to back out of the contract if you talk to them.
Sure. I can talk to them for you. But you have to say something in return.
Say what? Tell me.
I want you to say sorry...To Fan.
Say sorry and you'll get your freedom back for three years.
I'm sure you know how to do the math.
You caused this. You should apologize to Fan.
You hurt Fan first.
It's to your advantage to say sorry to him.
I'm sorry.
If Modes needs your help in the future, don't forget to return my favor.
