[Wait in Beijing]
[Episode 8]
Niagara Falls is probably extremely stunning.
Do you want to go?
No. I was just saying.
Do you want to go?
I've already booked the hotel, restaurant, and cruise.
I know you were really tired a while back. You also put in a lot of effort.
You even borrowed money to bail Sheng Xia out, right?
Actually, there's something I haven't told Sheng Xia.
I got the bail money from selling her precious dress.
You mean the dress that was a tribute to Stephen?
That wasn't for sale.
It was made according to her design.
What if someone thinks she plagiarized?
That probably won't happen.
Also everyone is so busy. Who is going to worry about this tiny thing?
Besides, that person looked like she couldn't afford the real thing which is why she bought the copy.
It should be fine.
If you say so.
Ask your friend to go with you.
Go.
Thank you.

Sheng Xia.
Where is the ring?
Actually, it was Miss Sheng Xia herself who hid the ring.
- Sir your wine. - Thank you.
What is unseen is considered clean is a method of self-deception.
Just because you don't see many things doesn't mean they don't exist.
On the contrary,
it has already formed a knot in your heart.
It seems like I'll have to destroy her ambitions
for her to be willing to marry me.
If you don't let go in time,
the person getting hurt will definitely be you.
I went to her, forced to kiss her.
I can't believe that guy.
Look at this guy, man. Come on.
Hold up, buddy. I need you to do me a favor.
It's a friend of mine. He's drunk and is trying to find a place to rest.
Get in the car without starting the engine.
- Wait. - Meal's on me after work.
You said that about 100 times.
Definitely this time.
Step out.
What?
What are you doing in such a rush?
If I was there a minute later, he would've been charged with drunk driving, which would get him convicted.
Does the police station open especially for people like him? How come you always run into him no matter the situation?
Me? Look at you. The minute you met Sheng Xia,
you guys are entangled with each other non stop.
- It's "over and over again." - That's right. (T/N: Xu Tian is correcting Hank's quote from just before.)
Hey, why did you drag him to my place?
- Where should I take him? - Find Sheng Xia.
I went. The door is closed.
The door is closed?
She's not doing work during the daytime? Is she not working on the job I gave her?
Check in.
What is this situation? What did you go do?
What do we do?
You only care about the murder but not the burial?
You brought him here and now you're just going to leave him to me?
- You're the landlord. - What landlord?
Salina said you are in charge of this area.
Bring him down.
Come on, let's go.
He's so heavy.
Amazing.
You are finally in my hands.
Excuse me.
Take him over there.
Me again? Again?
Okay. Let's go.
Where are we going?
Sit tight.
What are you doing?
Do you know how dangerous that is?
Take the wet clothes off.
[Letter from Shen Kai]
Once you wake up, remember to drink some warm milk.
In the future, no matter how late, you have to sleep on time.
The regularity of life is the safeguard of everything.
Remember to contact me when you wake up. I'll take you to eat something tasty.
It'll help you recuperate your energy. Love you, Shen Kai
[Sheng Xia]
This subscriber you dialed is no answer.
You're sure he's not doing something some kind of ritual?
Uncle Yun is in AA that helps each other to quit drinking. (Alcoholics Anonymous)
He's probably not a witch doctor.
Amazing, Uncle Yun.
Give him two raw eggs to drink immediately. He'll be fine for the time being.
- Temporarily? - Don't you see how drunk he is?
This is called alcohol addiction. Take him to AA immediately.
AA will treat him immediately.
He has alcohol addiction?
You can't tell? Let me tell you, if this continues, do you know what the consequences will be?
Wait.
How lame would it be to just let him drink that?
- That's a bit too evil, no? - What's evil about that?
I'm telling you. Giving him a little mustard wouldn't even be overdoing it.
It tastes great.
Come Kaven.
Sheng Xia.
You finally answered. Where are you right now?
I'm fine. I'm in a meeting right now.
I'll call you later.
I'll call you later, okay?
I'm busy right now. Bye.
Why am I here?
Does Sheng Xia know about this?
Don't tell her about this. You hear me?
You're almost charged with DUI. You still want to hide it from her?
Drunk... Drunk driving?
I guess you really only remember a fragment of it.
I also don't want to know.
Your alcohol addiction is very serious.
Just don't tell Sheng Xia.
It's no help to either of us.
If you don't want Sheng Xia to know, go find Uncle Yun.
He's from AA. He treated you when you were drunk.
Those 2... are getting closer and closer.
Especially that one. The one that looks like Justin Bieber.
At first look, he just doesn't seem like a good person.
His hand is already on the waist and moving down.
Those two meeting Salina. I don't know who would be at a disadvantage.
Seriously?
The sample is done.
Do you want to see it now or tomorrow morning?
Xu Tian.
What are you doing? We haven't drunk yet.
I'm tired. I'm going to go back. You two have fun.
You are tired? You are always tired and leave first.
Those 2 are not good people.
Have fun, but don't go home with them, okay?
Then I'll go home with you.
Go home with Hank.
That works. I'll take you home.
Get lost.
It's on the way.
Sheng Xia.
Welcome to Zhuji Restaurant.
The specialty dishes at our restaurant are Sweet and Sour Pork and Braised Meatball with Pickled Vegetables.
This is the design you made?
So...
Do you think it's okay?
It's good.
I specifically designed this little pig logo for the restaurant.
I think Zhuji restaurant has always given me a warm feeling.
Just like a bright light in a foreign country.
When I cannot hold on anymore,
I would think how many restaurant owners like Boss Zhu
keep me company to work hard.
Light signifies people. If there's light, then there are people around.
Of course. If there is a blackout, this little light can be of good use.
You really don't think
these flashing little pigs can be used in an emergency, right?
It might not be helpful during an actual emergency.
But think about it.
Every waiter in the restaurant would wear this logo.
Every little, sparkling light would be moving around.
Wouldn't it be quite cute and stunning?
Then is this restaurant's food expensive?
Boss Zhu is very nice. He will give us a discount.
Look at this picture. When I was at the bottom of the waterfall
it was so stunning.
That sound was deafening (lit. ear-splitting) and incomparable.
Look. Many people gave me "likes" on Weibo.
Your profile is pretty good and very beautiful.
This was taken on the balcony.
Kaven is too considerate.
The sunset was the most beautiful in the world.
So romantic.
It's really a pity you didn't go.
This isn't right.
This side shot... who took it for you?
You had a romantic encounter.
This is the biggest reward of this trip.
- When were you acquainted? - No...
- No. - Let me say, you're really...
Who's Sheng Xia?
I am.
You have been sued by Stephen Studios.
Stephen?
Simply put, the whole issue; Sheng Xia is innocent.
She's not innocent. When she made that dress,
she should've known that this might happen.
So you think she won't win this case?
This is something she can't deny.
The business model she uses isn't just for making profit.
Furthermore, it seriously affected her public image.
But she didn't know about her dress being sold.
Even if she didn't know,
it's still her store though, right?
Right. So I need your help.
I can't be her lawyer this time.
- Why? - Don't you know that losing a case will look very bad for me?
Sheng Xia's chance of willing is extremely small this time. Besides, Stephen is my client.
I was the one who drafted the indictment for this case.
Wait. One of your clients is suing your other client.
Sheng Xia isn't my client.
Listen, Ivy. We've worked together for 5 years so please help me.
You're mistakenly taking on Sheng Xia's matters as yours.
It's not a bad thing for Sheng Xia to lose this case.
What do you mean?
Think about it. You want Sheng Xia to marry you and be your full-time wife, right?
Of course.
Okay. But she wants to become a great fashion designer.
So.
Huh.
Ivy, you're a genius.
I know.
It's all my fault.
Okay don't cry. You have cried all afternoon.
You came.
I really didn't think it would cause all this trouble. I caused this.
Stupid. It's not your fault.
You should have told me earlier so we could have thought of a way.
I'm sorry Sheng Xia.
Stop crying.
We should think of a way to solve this.
If that doesn't work, then I'll just face the case head-on.
The truth is you plagiarized and you even made a profit from it.
Your chance of winning this case is pretty much 0%.
Top lawyers like Ivy definitely won't take on your case.
Furthermore, the law firm that Stephen uses is Donald's firm.
So it's best we settle this lawsuit and not go to court.
If they were willing to negotiate, then they wouldn't have sued me without saying a word.
I'll try to find someone so we can settle this privately.
Kaven.
Don't worry about this.
Look at how bad things are. You're still rejecting my help?
Not rejecting you.
I will think of a plan.
Xu Tian, I plan to hire few more waiters at the end of the year.
Can you please tell Sheng Xia to add 20 more uniforms?
20 more.
How could a big lawyer like me be doing fashion business every day?
Mr. Xu, your code of ethics is very questionable.
Before you give me money, you should have researched.
I lost my code of ethics a long time ago.
I'm afraid your check will also be gone soon.
I wanted you to be far away from Sheng Xia. The farther the better.
And yet? You're getting closer and closer to her.
What's going on to that restaurant's uniform stuff?
At first I was going to keep a distance from her.
And then? You went back on your word very quickly. Isn't that right?
Then...
wandering the ghetto, white sneakers, and gold chains.
What else is there?
I thought you were just a no-name lawyer. Who knew you were so despicable.
I am a lawyer. I can say whatever I want.
Can you say whatever you want? Did you see clearly who signed that check?
You accepted my money so you have to follow my requirements.
You're just a no name lawyer in the ghetto.
You don't even follow any rules of the contract.
I just ran into Sheng Xia by accident. Regarding the Chinese restaurant,
she already knows Boss Zhu.
Yes, I have nothing but I, at least, have my principles and bottom line.
Okay. Then I will give you one more chance.
Sheng Xia got caught up in a case recently.
I need you to be her lawyer.
Her idol, Stephen, wants to sue her for plagiarism. I hope she loses the case.
If Sheng Xia loses, she is not only losing the case but her reputation as well.
If she gets convicted for plagiarism, she'll never be able to make a name for herself again.
She loses this case and she won't be able to stay in the industry.
She won't have the dream of a fashion designer anymore.
Even if she doesn't have a job, I can take care of her. I'm fine with that.
What you're doing is destroying her. Do you know that?
Don't forget this will require your help.
Is this the way you're loving her?
I don't need you to worry about that.
You just have to accept money and do the work.
What if I don't do it?
From what I know, Mrs. Jones is able to peacefully rest in a nursing home
that's not because you only do trivial things.
How do you know that Sheng Xia will definitely come find me?
This is Sheng Xia. She likes to rely on herself.
Relying on herself means she can only find a lawyer like you.
What if I win?
You won't.
What are you thinking about?
Hank, about that case you mentioned last time, did they find someone?
Didn't you think their case was too risky?
Connect me with them tomorrow.
They've already found another lawyer.
Do you know any cases that will make me a lot of money quickly?
What? Are you short on money?
Did Mrs. Jones get worse?
Don't worry about that much.
If there is, just tell me.
- You're going out? I bought a lot of groceries, we're eating chicken tonight. - Dad.
No, no, I'm not eating. I need to go to Shao Lin's place.
Why are you going over there?
He developed a new game and wanted me to go and give him some suggestions.
Then okay. I'll make it tomorrow.
I'll get your Auntie Fengying to try some as well tomorrow.
- I'm leaving. - Go ahead.
Dad, is Auntie Feng okay?
Fine. She's eating well and not sick. Her factory also got new orders.
Why are you asking about this? What's wrong?
Nothing much. I just read an article on a fashion Weibo.
It said that Sheng Xia is involved in another court case.
It should be nothing, it might be some baseless rumor.
Wait.
Wait. What do you mean it's not important? What happened? What's going on with Sheng Xia?
An article said that Sheng Xia plagiarized the work of a famous designer and she's suing her now.
Auntie Feng didn't tell you?
No. I went to her office today. She...
She looked fine, nothing wrong.
Then it should be fine.
Wait. You child, how can you just say something and not finish it?
Tell me. Tell me what happened. Is it serious?
Of course it's serious. The most important part of designing is innovation. If she really did plagiarize,
not only will she need to compensate, she'll also lose her design career.
That serious?
- That won't do. I must look for your Auntie Li. - Dad! Dad.
Let me know whether she's okay or not.
Who is it?
Me. Fengying, how come you're still not off work yet?
Didn't you get off work?
You came earlier to say hi already, why are you back again?
I was already home and ran over again to see you.
Did you talk on the phone with Sheng Xia today?
Not yet. I will do it once I get home.
Then do you know...
a person called Dawei, do you know him? (Zhengzheng meant 'dawei' as in Weibo)
Tan Qiming, just tell me straight if you need something. I'm busy here.
I heard from someone that Sheng Xia is in trouble.
Sheng Xia is in trouble?
This time, you must not listen to Ai Wen.
The problem is I agree with what she said.
You want to destroy a woman's dreams in order to have her?
You really don't understand Ivy's intention.
Her intention is not to destroy her but to bring Sheng Xia a new life.
You know, Sheng Xia chasing after her dream,
is already into the deep end. She doesn't care about anything else, even me.
Love isn't like this, Kaven.
I want Sheng Xia to live a normal life.
But every day, she works so hard.
Frankly, this kind of hardship is meaningless.
Did you know that all the clothes in her workshop,
if I didn't send someone to buy it every month,
she wouldn't be able to sell even one of them.
This city is a world for big brands and big designers.
Sheng Xia has been here fighting for three years and hasn't made much of a name for herself.
It's difficult for foreign fashion circles to pay attention to a
newly established Chinese designer.
But she's very determined.
I'm just afraid reality and dreams are so far off that it'll hurt her.
So I'm doing this.
What you're doing looks to be giving it a lot of thought.
In reality, you're harming her.
You didn't really follow Ivy said to do right?
I had no other choice.
Ta da. Do you want to eat anything?
Why are you giving me something for no reason?
Our famous designer can't be on a hungry stomach.
Here. It's still hot. Take it.
Actually, I didn't think that Wu Dangran's project was any good.
You weren't going to make a lot of money and it didn't necessarily mean you'd get to put your name on it.
I'm fine. Don't comfort me.
Didn't you tell me that I'm the best?
This project has been canceled. What do I need to regret it for? This is their loss.
That's right. It's their loss.
Exactly.
Hurry.
Good luck!
Miss, you have such a great figure.
I have this piece of clothing here, isn't it pretty?
I think it really suits you.
- Really? - Yes, yes.
Why don't you try it? If you don't like it,
I'll give it to you for free.
It doesn't look good and you'll give it to me for free. I still can't wear it.
How about this, Miss. You...you can ask others if this is pretty or not.
It's not bad. It suits you quite well.
See? If she said it didn't look good, I really will give it to you for free.
You're really good at doing business.
Then... do you have a permit?
I just got it. Don't worry, Miss. Let me wrap it up for you.
I'll scan and pay with that.
Yes, yes. For the convenience of paying, this is the QR code.
How much?
I'll give you a discount, ¥500.
¥500? It's not cheap.
Thank you, Miss.
- Miss, take care. - Thank you.
Bye-bye, Miss.
I made a sale.
Boss.
Did you design this? I really like it.
Look. Does it suit my temperament?
Are you crazy?
Isn't it pretty? I like it a lot.
Members of the jury, as you heard,
the defendant's key witness admitted,
he's a cheater, scoundrel, and liar.
Then, how could you believe
what he said in court?
Of course, no one will stand on my witness's side.
Moreover, when you want to sue the devil,
you cannot go to heaven to find evidence.
You can only go to hell to find it. Everyone will lie in their life.
But it doesn't mean they've never told the truth.
Reason and the existing laws tell us that
prejudice is the scariest thing in this world.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Based on the evidence presented in court, the charges of fraud against Mike Hoffman
has been dismissed.
He will be released immediately.
Hey, you did a great job man.
Really. Thank you. I really appreciate... You know what.
I mean, I want to thank you. Take you to dinner? Drinks?
I mean, a way to say thank you.
I'm your attorney.
Not a person who is supposed to have dinner with you.
Good luck.
Okay. Send me an email.
Who can say no to money?
Thanks for bringing this case to me, Cindy.
Let's have a drink another day. Okay. Bye.
Hello?
Wait for me. I'll be there soon.
Welcome to Zhuji Restaurant.
Festive. So festive. These pigs look amazing.
No, no. What I'm saying is the little piggy lights are too cute.
Logo is so cute. It's so festive and creative.
Xia, this design is great, they are festive and pretty, more importantly, practical.
I realized that you are really talented.
I'll introduce you to the bosses of other restaurants
and let you design uniforms for them as well. How does that sound?
This might be the last design... of my career.
The last design? Then we have to celebrate.
Don't leave. Stay here for dinner.
Drink some more. Don't leave. Don't leave.
You... Sit, sit.
Get us some Bak Kut Teh.
Isn't Auntie Li super anxious then?
Auntie Feng called Sheng Xia and scolded her like crazy,
saying something like once something bad happens, she hides it from her. She was so anxious that she wanted to fly to her immediately.
Who knew Sheng Xia... was so strong.
In my memory, I remember that she is just a cute
and pretty neighborhood girl.
But when we were all in the compound house, she was scolded a lot.
On her textbook, there were a lot of colors
and various types of doodles.
You're talking about another woman in front of me. Don't you feel guilty?
I wasn't the one talking about her. You started it.
♫ The more I want to leave you, the more I want to be with you ♫
You never realize the importance of truth until you practice it.
Now I understand.
It's good that you understand. Actually, a lot of people are living their lives too ignorantly.
Yet they never thought to jump out of it.
From the objective point of view, reevaluate the value and meaning of living.
That's why when you encounter difficulty, don't be narrow-minded, but understand how to
find the key for a solution in life.
Now I understand that dream and life
are far more valuable and long-lasting than anything.
Dream, I won't let you go.
♫ running into my arms. We should be together ♫
Nothing lasts forever,
except to lose itself.
Take a picture of me.
Okay. I'll take a picture.
So you can remember your perseverance when pursuing your dream.
I want the whole view, okay?
I love the night.
Let me see.
Those lights in the towers are all on.
Such successful people are all working hard.
What reason do we have to be lazy?
I've even thought about how to decorate the place.
If I can open a workshop here.
It doesn't cost anything to think about it. It may come true.
The first time I was exposed to a fashion brand, I was only 6 years old.
You were mature that young?
Back then, my dad left without a word.
My dad gave both the dying garment factory and me to my mom.
My mom is a tough businesswoman. She went out,
did some rounds and don't know how she got a big sub-contract order from abroad.
That was this brand.
She was a subcontractor already at that time in China?
My mom tasted success.
She sacrificed a lot but finally became successful in the field of subcontracting.
So I would say I also experienced the real business world, with international brands.
At that time, the business of my family's garment factory boomed for several years. Among the brands who commissioned our factory,
I knew one person's name, Stephen.
She is kind of a legendary figure, I've heard of her through my mom and her colleagues.
Then, ironically,
during that time, I realized that those pretty clothes
were all designed by Stephen.
Stephen is actually a male name.
She purposely changed the name.
This Stephen is pretty cool.
I came abroad to study fashion design and open a workshop, it was all for her.
I just didn't think that after working for so long, I finally have connections with her.
It's just that I'm being sued by her.
Xu Tian. I am asking you to help me. Is that okay?
You told me so much today.
It turns out you were waiting for me here.
You are the only lawyer I know and I consider us as friends.
No. Not us.
You and I are strangers.
We were before and we will be in the future.
Lawyer Xu. Lawyer Xu?
Lawyer Xu. No, no, no.
However, I have helped a stranger in court, but I am very expensive.
It's fine. It's just a dress.
How is a dress enough?
Let me show you my cost.
Hourly rate.
$80 per hour for legal consultation, $100 per hour for investigation.
$200 an hour for evidence gathering.
$500 to appear in court, $500?
You just need to say a few words. Why is it so expensive?
Why is it that you design a pig and can charge money
and my words of wisdom aren't worth anything?
Fine, then go pursue your dreams with your words of wisdom.
Okay.
Dream, I won't let you go.
I want the whole view, okay?
I love the night.
What's more eternal than loss is to resist loss.
Sometimes when you love someone, you'll push them out of their comfort zone.
It seems cruel but it's actually so they can grow better.
Sometimes, loving someone
insisting on using the way one thinks is the best to care of them.
But one does not care if the other side can truly accept it.
Sometimes, loving someone
is choosing to silently protect her on the side.
No need to express or respond.
Even if we can't be certain if the other person has us in their heart,
But we are still willing to sacrifice everything for them.
