Xiaoduo, you're back?
Sheng Xia, I'm sorry.
What's wrong?
It's Alice, she knows about Stephen suing you.
In view of your plagiarism and other misconducts,
we have decided to terminate the partnership.
Alice. I haven't even gone to court yet and she already canceled the order.
Sheng Xia, I'm really sorry.
I really didn't know that one piece of clothing would bring about all this trouble.
- It's okay for you to vent your anger at me however you want. I'm sorry. - Xiaoduo, don't cry. Don't cry.
It's fine.
Your crying is making me feel bad.
It's fine.
Sheng Xia...
Don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Relax. I will solve this. Okay? Stop crying.
Xu Tian.
I need to talk with you in person.
If your design is truly that good, why did the client who came to the store
specifically choose a copy of Stephen's clothing?
Don't say you hung that gown inside the store just to inspire yourself.
Haven't you ever thought of borrowing Stephen's clothing to elevate yourself?
No. I have never thought to do that.
To me, Stephen is like a belief.
It was this belief that allowed me to always be acutely aware of the positive things in life.
And also led me to respect the entire industry.
These design drawings are mine from all these years.
I normally only sleep 5 hours a day.
Every week there will be one or two days where I don't sleep.
I've cut down on all my rest time, weekend time, and even dating time.
I've done nothing but design.
It's so that one day when I sit in front of Stephen,
I can talk to her as a professional.
I have to run fast like a rabbit
and also have to move patiently like a turtle.
This small shop is a bet I made with my mom.
In 5 years,
I have to create my own brand here.
Or else, I have to obediently go back.
In the beginning, I found the store, decorated it,
found the fabric, and registered the trademark. I was tired to a point of exhaustion.
I thought the hardest part was over.
Later, I realized
from design to production to sales,
every aspect,
every single of them had an obstacle I had to get through.
I had to force myself to overcome every obstacle.
No one was going to help me.
Like when I was at the fabric market.
I stayed there for three whole months.
I touched and held over 2,000 different fabric materials.
When I touched the last piece,
as long as I touched it,
I knew what sort of handiwork went into it,
what the thread count was, and how much it cost.
But when I learned everything about tailoring and designs,
the first sample I made was the Stephen gown.
You know, from a design drawing,
when I took a design drawing and turned it into
a living work of art,
I felt like with every single cut, I was having a conversation with her.
So now... now she's suing me.
Now I'm scared.
I'm scared that from now on, I'll lose
the opportunity to have a conversation with her.
I'm afraid that in this world of beliefs,
I will never have the opportunity to fight or charge forward.
That's what I'm scared about the most. Very, very scared.
In this path of achieving the objective,
it's inevitable that you'll fall
because you're running too fast or you have disrupted the rhythm.
Aren't I silly?
Maybe some would say,
"It's fine. Stand up and continue working."
Wow. So pretty.
This concept came from my favorite designer, Stephen.
I'm just learning from her.
Really?
If it were me, even if the dress was in front of me, I wouldn't be able to draw it.
You have your own creation, you don't need to copy others.
Sister Sheng Xia, is this designer really that great?
Yeah. In my heart, she's the best.
She's my role model. I want to be a fashion designer just like her.
Then, I also want to be like that.
Oh. I mean.
I don't want to become like her. I want to become like you.
I'm serious.
Okay. Okay. Yes. You're serious.
But maybe they don't know
just how painful it is to fall.
You probably don't even have the strength to get back up.
Hank, don't come in.
I'm telling you. You're not allowed to enter the bar or be within a 3km radius.
Can I pay ten times the price?
Who cares about the money. Go away.
I'm only drinking beer this time, I won't do anything else.
What else do you want to do? My bar is about to be ruined by you.
No. You are really overreacting.
You're playing with fire. Do you know that?
How am I playing with fire? What do you know? I know myself. Leave.
Don't force me to be hostile toward you. Go.
Go.
Isn't this Jia Xiaoduo's boyfriend?
["Alive" collagen. Beautiful ladies, good luck with your romances!]
Coming! Coming!
Hank? Why are you here?
I was on duty nearby. I just came to take a look.
Do you want to come in and rest for a little?
No need. I have to work.
I came to tell you to be careful.
Careful of what?
Madrid.
I saw him with other people at the bar.
I asked around. He's often like this.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
- I'm leaving. - Wait!
I'll treat you to have some coffee.
I still have to work. Next time.
Why are you so anxious? You don't even have time to drink coffee?
Well... Sheng Xia's boyfriend.
He's abstaining from drinking. It's very painful.
I don't understand why Sheng Xia hasn't gone to take care of him.
You mean Kaven?
Tell me! Where is he?
He's at the rehab center.
Kaven?
Kaven. Kaven, are you okay?
What's going on?
You don't need to be so worried. He took some medicine. This is a normal reaction.
Are you his family member?
- I... - Xiaoduo, how did you know?
Sheng Xia...
Relax. I didn't tell Sheng Xia.
Don't let Sheng Xia know. Please.
Help him to the bed.
- Please don't tell Sheng Xia. - Slowly.
How long will he continue to be like this?
He chose the strongest medical treatment himself.
His body must hurt a lot.
If the situation is like this, it'll probably be about 3 to 5 days. It'll be fine.
Here. Take this. It might be useful. Take care of him.
Kaven.
I made some soup for you.
Drink some.
No. No.
What's wrong?
Please, please tie me... tie me up.
Tie me up. Hurry! Tie me up.
Give it to me. Kaven...
Listen to me. Listen to me. Don't drink anymore. Do you understand?
Rope... please... Tie me up!
Kaven, believe me. I'm here. It's fine.
29th floor. The whole level is...
Stephen's workplace.
It's a place that makes people love and hate.
I remember every face I saw there
and the sense of superiority on those people's faces.
A sense of superiority is originally the greatest defense to disguise themselves. It's not necessarily really superiority.
But these people hold the ultimate power.
Even a low-level assistant can regard your work as trash, lock the door, and refuse to see it.
I've already applied here three times.
I haven't even seen Stephen's feet.
The only benefit was meeting Kaven here.
Here?
That intersection.
Design is not won by quantity. As for a great design,
extraordinary does actually make sense in little things. More is worse.
Sorry. I can't see where your talent is.
♫ Like layers of fallen leaves ♫
♫ Love is like a lingering swing, swinging so far away ♫
He's not like other people. He's simple, relaxed, and full of energy.
In short, you can use any good words to describe him.
He makes people want to be close to him.
Then, what are you waiting for?
My dream.
I sometimes ask myself. Losing the courage of a fatal attraction, (T/N: idiom: a moth flying into the flame)
is it happiness or sadness to a woman?
Dreams are originally stimulants that specifically activate various idealism.
You're restless over many things like this because you took too many stimulants.
Really, it's fortunate you're a great lawyer. Why is your thinking so backward?
I just want to remind you.
Don't be blindly overconfident in yourself. If you want to get married then hurry up and get married.
Don't be so troublesome. Otherwise, you'll personally ruin your own happiness.
I'm saying you're the kind of person who thinks you're clever.
It's not certain who thinks who's clever.
Kaven, congratulations on leaving. This is for you.
Wow. Thank you.
Xiaoduo, this is really all thanks for you.
Okay. How many times have you said that? It may not be annoying to you but it is to me.
Anyway, I must repay this favor. I can do whatever you want.
Really?
Let me think.
How about saving it first? When I need you, don't decline.
Okay. No problem. Use whenever needed.
I'll help you hold them.
- Kaven. - Yeah.
Do you know when you called Sheng Xia and told her that you're coming to see her,
she was jumping and singing. That scene was like the scene of a car accident.
That image... is really hard to imagine.
Fortunately, we hid it from her.
If I didn't see it myself, I really wouldn't know how painful it is to quit drinking.
It was very difficult to overcome it this time. I hope it'll be the last time.
I'll pick you guys up at 6:00 for dinner. What do you want to eat?
I shouldn't go. You two haven't seen each other for a long time. You guys should talk.
Okay.
Life is more cruel than the plot.
At least the heroine in the drama might be saved.
And I have nothing.
Forget it. Instead of sitting here complaining, it's better to take action.
I have to chase my own happiness.
♫ Skyscrapers flash across my eyes ♫
♫ Is it possible to truly obtain myself? ♫
♫ How do I dazzle in this concrete jungle ♫
♫ Time never waits for youth, even if I stand in the middle of an empty plaza, I might not find the soul of my childhood ♫
♫ I yearn for time to stop, in that moment, in the crowd, I noticed you and suddenly felt a bit of excitement ♫
♫ Maybe we can bloom together ♫
♫ Baby we are destined now to be together, we just need each other. I"m gonna take this chance before anybody else can ♫
♫ For you to come my way ♫
♫ I’m just waiting for you to say that you’ll bright up my day ♫
♫ Relieve me from this pain ♫
Hey, someone called the police and said that he was lost at Hyde Park.
Copy that. I'm on my way.
Jia Xiaoduo, why are you here?
Do you want coffee?
Sorry. I can't. I'm working.
Hey, wait! Let me guess.
Did someone call and say that they were lost at a park?
How did you know?
I called the police.
It's illegal to report a false alarm.
I didn't report a false alarm. It's real.
- Don't joke around. You've been here for so long. How... - Yes. Yes.
I have already been here for 5 years.
But I haven't found my own direction.
Once I followed some sort of direction and met you.
So I want to know the answer.
Are you the direction I'm looking for?
Don't be nervous. Here. Have some food and drink.
Good product. Why does the product character contain three mouth characters?
Look at yourself.
Let me ask you some questions. Answer truthfully.
What do you want to ask?
How did you come here?
- I think I was born here. - Think?
I'm an orphan.
Reportedly, I was abandoned as a baby. My father is a Southerner. He doesn't have any children.
So he adopted me from an orphanage.
During that time, I don't think I was even 1 yet.
No wonder you speak Chinese badly.
Does he not love you?
He loves me very much. It's just that I might disappoint him.
Disappoint?
Okay. If you don't want to say, I won't ask.
Where are you from?
I'm from the South.
You're from the South? That region seems wealthy.
It has the most estates in the Southern region.
That's right. My family has several estates.
What? Then, why did you come here?
I like theatrical plays. This place is well-known for theater.
Because you like theater, you came here after you saw a play?
My goodness. That reason is too extravagant.
Can I leave?
Wait-Wait a minute! You... let me sort it out.
Your family owns a few estates, so you are the rich who-knows-what generation.
You especially love theater.
You want to be an actor. So, in order to be closer to this holy place of art,
you're willing to leave your family and come here to be a low-level police officer. Am I right?
I like theaters but I don't have the talent to be an actor.
Okay. I can leave now, right?
Any more questions?
No more.
I think I already have the answer I want.
Okay.
Hank, starting tomorrow, I'm officially asking you out.
- You can't run away. - Huh?
Xiao Xia, these are all the latest styles?
Yeah, they are all my new designs.
The main thing is how to match them. Ms. Sheng, with you here,
- we can relax. - Thank you.
Sister He, I think this suits you very well.
- Really? Let me try it on. - Yeah.
This plaid design is very popular this year.
Most importantly, it makes you look thinner.
I feel they suit you well. Look!
Doesn't it make you look much thinner?
What Sheng Xia meant was that your figure is already very good,
putting this on is like the icing on the cake.
No wonder Xiao Song drags me here to shop every single time.
This design... you have to find the person who understands your style.
As you said, I really think these clothes do make me look
slim. I feel younger.
You see, Sister He and her friends come to buy so many clothes every time,
and they choose the expensive ones.
It proves your design really suits their taste.
- and that's why they're huge fans of yours. - I think so, too.
Xu Tian wants me to write out the statement I'm giving in court tomorrow and to send it to him.
Honestly, I haven't prepared anything for this court case.
What should I do? I'm so worried.
Do you remember what day it is?
Today? It's the day before the court appearance.
Today is Kaven's birthday.
I forgot.
I really forgot. Why do I forget every time?
What do I do?
You're really not a qualified girlfriend. You even forget this; always only thinking about work.
This is my bad.
I didn't even prepare a present. Do you think I can give any of these?
But I already thought about it.
What is this?
I found this antique brooch.
Very suitable for a birthday present.
In this world,
I definitely cannot be without you.
Enough, enough!
Hurry and go on a date with him. Don't waste time.
I'll go prepare then.
Xiaoduo. Impressive.
You look so pretty.
Thank you.
- We are leaving. - We're leaving.
Okay, okay!
Have fun.
Since it's fate, you can't escape. How about we just try it out?
No, I don't think this is a good idea.
Starting now, I want to have our first date.
I'm downstairs already. If you don't come, I won't leave.
Aren't you just making things difficult for me?
He will be down there soon. Just wait.
It's set.
Will going on a date with her make you die?
I won't die...
Then try it.
Are you going or not?
Hank, are you a man? Are you a man?
Go!
- Salina. Salina. - Salina?
Who's that?
He looks shady.
Really?
Go check it out.
How about some Thai food?
Sounds good.
Nice flowers.
Hi. Hank.
Hey!
Does this count as losing my love?
Yes. You bought flowers and wasted a few dollars.
What about you? Do you count?
Salina is my only close relative.
The only thing I'm worried about is that she changes boyfriends too much,
too frequently. I'm afraid I can't remember their names.
Ordinarily, Hank is very unsophisticated. He was very manly a moment ago.
That's right.
Why do you want to pursue him?
Me? How do I say it?
I just happen to need love.
Fate just happened to make him appear.
I've repeatedly felt that you can't go against fate.
And he doesn't look bad. Not a bad personality, kind of cute.
The problem is...
Okay. His family has money.
That's about it.
By the way, how 's the preparation for Sheng Xia's court case?
I'm still preparing it.
Still not prepared? Are you confident about tomorrow's court case?
Either way, I'll put all my effort into it.
I hope Sheng Xia didn't make a mistake in trusting you.
Sheng Xia trusts you the most.
Okay. Thank you for your hot dog and clothes.
Here.
Right!
I'm the one who sold that gown.
Sheng Xia didn't know so you can push all the responsibility onto me.
I know all that.
You know?
Sheng Xia didn't say anything. But the day the gown was sold, she wasn't in the shop.
So the person who sold the gown had to be you.
Don't worry. I'm not blaming you. Even after everything you've done,
Sheng Xia has you as a friend. It's worth it.
Okay. I'm leaving.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you!
Are you okay?
Okay. Go!
I'll take you to a place called Heaven.
I want to go home.
You are not going home.
Oh my god.
What are you doing? Let me go!
Let me go!
That's not how you treat a lady.
Get the hell out of here! This is none of your business!
This is my business.
- Stop! - Manners makes men.
- Take it easy. - Give me that.
Are you crazy?
You're not going to be this lucky every time.
I'm a police officer. Every day I see...
women like you who aren't careful; the consequences can be extremely serious.
You always so easily
believe people. Do you know their background?
Do you know what type of people they are?
I know you're trying to get Xu Tian's attention.
This isn't the way.
You are not being responsible for yourself, do you know that?!
But no matter what,
as long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt.
This really is a small city.
It isn't a small city. It's that there isn't a hole that you don't go into.
I don't like lawsuits that anyone can win. I like a challenge.
You really are overestimating yourself.
You even dare to take this case. You're going to lose for sure.
It's not for sure yet that I'm going to lose.
Okay. This is a strong defendant and a smooth lawyer.
Let's begin.
Your Honor, we all know
that the plaintiff today is a master designer who holds the highest position in a top-notch fashion industry.
Her work is said to be able to relieve pain in people.
That person is Stephen.
The defendant attempts to use a gorgeous, dazzling halo,
to cover up the true leading role of our discussion today.
The leading role today is not a person,
but a gown.
Your Honor, I'm very happy to discuss this gown.
Although it's only a small part of Master Stephen's design career,
every detail has a meaning.
And piracy is a parasite in a dark corner
that violates the legitimacy of the original.
At this time, I'll temporarily call Miss Sheng Xia's
gown a pirated gown.
Members of the jury, please allow me to speak about
the sequence of events of this pirated gown.
If every detail of Master Stephen's work has a meaning,
Miss Sheng Xia's work
is, even more, an expression of emotions...
Objection. He should emphasize evidence in the court.
This isn't the place for you to tell a story.
The objection is valid. I won't allow it.
Please allow me to show everyone
how this pirated gown paraded itself ostentatiously about town.
At the red carpet show yesterday,
Monica wore the gown designed by Stephen.
She made a stunning appearance, which made everyone present envious.
But she didn't know it was a pirated copy of the classic gown.
That's right. That feeling is worse than being naked.
Due to this, I lost my job.
Did you know beforehand that it was a design by Stephen?
I didn't know. Even if it's from a great master,
no one can recognize her every piece of work unless they're a professional.
When you purchased it, did anyone tell you it was a pirated item?
No. She only told me that all the clothes in the store were designed by the owner.
How much money did you pay for this?
I paid $30,000.
I have the receipt.
You paid too much for a knock-off.
It is. Who said it wasn't?
- Can I see the receipt? - Of course.
August 3rd.
Very good. Do you remember who sold you this gown?
[Witness]
Did you tell Mr. Alberto that this dress was not for sale?
I told him and not only once, but he was persistent in wanting to buy it.
Okay. Then what I want to emphasize on
is "not for sale": these three words.
So, Jia Xiaoduo learned from Miss Sheng Xia that
this dress was not a piece of merchandise.
That's right. She told me many times that
this gown was made just to inspire herself constantly.
When this transaction happened, we could say that Miss Sheng Xia
was completely unaware of the situation then.
August 3rd at 10:50 a.m.
During this time, Miss Sheng Xia was in jail
because of another lawsuit. Okay.
It was me who sued her.
Of course, this is unrelated.
But this is sufficient to prove that the defendant, Miss Sheng Xia,
didn't participate in the transaction.
It was me, when Sheng Xia was unaware of the situation.
who sold the gown without permission. Then I embezzled the payment.
Your Honor, as far as I know, this money was probably used to bail out Miss Sheng Xia, who was in jail at the time.
Probably? Objection, Your Honor.
Sustained. The jury must remove the last statement made by the plaintiff's attorney.
Then I have one question. If this dress was not for sale, then why did you sell it to the customer?
Because selling it can earn money.
So this was all because of your own actions.
Yes. Sheng Xia and I had different opinions. She loathes this kind of action.
So even until the end, I did not discuss it with her.
This money did come easily,
but how did you determine that she wouldn't want to make a profit in this?
In the past, I've privately taken a $10,000 order to customize a fake item.
Sheng Xia firmly refused. She forced me to return all the deposits afterward.
- Xiaoduo. - Sheng Xia, are you crazy?
We won't take this order.
If I'm not mistaken, this dress is the work of Brian from this year's Spring Summer Fashion Week.
The same dress is priced at $150,000 at his store.
Xiaoduo, doing this
is called copy, theft, plagiarism. It's also a crime.
I'm sure everyone is clear on this matter.
Miss Sheng Xia is a very principled person.
She simply made a copy of the work to pay tribute to her idol. That's all.
But the salesclerk secretly sold it and personally profited from it.
Instead of participating in the illegal acts of piracy,
she's even a victim in this incident.
That gown was a gift she gave to herself.
She sewed her dreams, infused her dedication,
and she put her love into it.
Just like a bee tirelessly collecting nectar from a flower.
Even though the industry hasn't given her equivalent returns for the past five years,
she has always been running nonstop.
Someone said that the charm of this industry is
that you're surrounded by things you can't get.
But at the same time, it can make you feel like you can have them.
You're so close to the dream. Miracles happen every day.
We don't know when we'll
win the lottery or be robbed by criminals.
As a result, I implore everyone here to give this girl a chance
to continue pursuing her dream.
No. This gown was made by me.
Xiaoduo is also my employee.
No matter what, the transaction has already occurred.
I accept full responsibility.
According to the jury's decision in the case of Stephen Studio
vs. Sheng Xia for the infringement of intellectual property,
Sheng Xia loses the lawsuit and constitutes an infringement.
Considering Miss Sheng Xia's previous actions, the judgment is as follows.
It orders the violator to stop all infringement activities,
serve 60 hours of community service,
and is fined $1 to keep Miss Sheng Xia's
qualifications to practice as a fashion designer.
The above judgment may be postponed.
Court adjourned.
Thank you, Xu Tian.
Actually, the results could've been better.
I know you tried.
Let's go.
Bye.
[Shuang Ying Manufacturing]
Fengying. Fengying!
Why haven't you left?
I just wanted to see how Sheng Xia's situation was.
She lost the lawsuit.
Lost? How could they lose?
Didn't you tell me that Sheng Xia's boyfriend is very capable? That he has ways to solve it?
Losing the lawsuit isn't necessarily a bad thing.
She received some setbacks. Perhaps she can reflect on her own problems
and think carefully about a future with her boyfriend.
You're right for thinking like that. Everything has two sides.
Through Sheng Xia's matter, I learned that
my entire heart is on my precious daughter.
I've also thought about it. If my daughter stays abroad and doesn't return to Beijing,
I plan to move there and accompany her.
You also know the situation now at the clothing factory.
Business isn't as good as before.
I've been carrying it on behalf of her father for over 20 years.
I've been waiting for him in Beijing for over 20 years.
I don't know how long I can support this either.
Maybe it's time to let go now.
Fengying, think it over carefully. This place is where your roots are.
No matter how good the outside world is, you have to come back.
After falling down I realized, the goal I was chasing after was too high.
The distance between us and our dreams are too far.
But we still have to be optimistic and have a smiling face.
Only this way will we have the courage to start chasing after our dream again.
This way, we won't let the people who care for us continue to worry.
Worry that we will always remain on that sad day.
