[The Inner Eye] [EP24]

[Divorce Agreement]

Attorney Tang.

No other way?

Zhou Yixin

gave you a chance before.

But you refused to believe her.

As an adult,

you should be responsible

for your choices, right?

But the child is innocent.

He needs a home

and I, his father.

Attorney Tang.

I didn't bring my lawyer today.

I know Yixin listens to you.

So...

So...

So I beg you

to persuade her as her friend.

Give me a chance.

Zhou Yixin

didn't want to stop

you from meeting the child.

You two can't be husband and wife.

But that doesn't affect you

to continue to

fulfill your responsibilities as a father.

It was all my fault.

I don't beg her to forgive me.

I just want to make up for her.

As long as she doesn't divorce me,

I will promise anything.

Attorney Tang.

Can you pass it on for me?

Yeah.

But, Ding Ke.

I sincerely advise you.

If you really want to

make up for Zhou Yixin,

you'd better respect her wishes.

Give both a break.

I don't want to end it with her.

I still love her.

Sometimes the end

may be another beginning.

Right?

Lin Xiaoyun

has been working overtime

for JW's acquisition these days.

I know she looked for you.

About the percentage of

legal fees?

Yeah.

With great ambition,

she is no longer

Yingying's assistant.

Ambition is a good thing.

A double-edged sword.

Sometimes it can be invincible,

but sometimes

it may also hurt others.

What do you think?

I think she is very hardworking.

She not only engages in commercial litigation,

but also works as a private legal adviser,

even rushing to apply for

a court case.

She almost takes everything.

Now young colleagues

regard her as an example.

I think it's a good thing.

They need a new example.

She also suggested to me that

after the JW case,

she should work independently

and have her own office,

and talk about the proportion again.

As expected.

I think

if her performance is good,

everything can be discussed.

Do you feel that

compared to us in the past,

the younger colleagues nowadays are more

resourceful and fearless?

I can't help it.

Peilin.

Our firm needs to develop.

We need those

fearless young people.

Besides, weren't we

resourceful when we were young?

We were

no worse than them.

I used to think that

Lin Xiaoyun looked like

a younger version of Tang Yingying.

But I don't

think so now.

Tang Yingying

always knows what she wants.

She knows very well.

On the surface, she looks strong,

competitive

and unscrupulous.

But in fact,

she has her own principles and bottom line.

Most importantly,

she thinks independently

and never follows blindly.

This is very precious.

I heard that

several law firms

contacted you through headhunters

and were very interested in you.

They said you had

plans to go back to Beijing.

Are you going to

leave after

saving Chen Jun Law Firm?

Peilin. Thank you for

not saying I'm kicking down the ladder.

You won't.

Besides,

Tang Yingying and I are here now.

Do you think

you can leave?

You two are at

Chen Jun Law Firm.

Do you

still need

me?

That's not

up to you or me.

Xiaoyun.

I bought food.

Let's eat first.

Well.

Thank you for your help in the legal aid case.

Or I

can't do it alone.

As usual, we split the fee equally.

Thank you. Xiaoyun.

In fact, I want to

thank you for your help.

Because I think the legal aid case

makes me feel a sense of accomplishment.

If I apply again, I'll call you.

Thank you. Xiaoyun.

Xiaoyun.

Why do you

take so many legal aid cases?

Famous lawyers eat meat.

We should learn to pick bones and make soup.

You think those famous lawyers

will want to take legal aid cases?

Did Attorney Tang

take it before?

She took the case on the basis of personal preference

rather than the source of the case.

As the saying goes, young people have no way to go

if they don't work hard.

Let me tell you something.

The road they don't take

is our road.

I used to think

too simply.

Look.

One case of Attorney Tang

is equal to our one hundred legal aid cases.

There are 100 possibilities

of being seen and chosen

in 100 legal aid cases.

Do you understand?

I see.

I learned it.

Xiaoyun. Cheers.

Let's eat.

You watch live-streaming?

I like watching it

when I eat alone.

It feels like

I'm not eating alone.

The most mellow and dense taste

is like

skin that has just been

moisturized after a bath.

This Belgian imported biscuit sauce

will bring us

silky and tender enjoyment.

I can't read it.

This livestreamer AYW

is very popular in recent years.

She used to

teach cooking,

but recently she started

selling goods live.

Teach cooking?

She doesn't look like

she can cook.

Wait. Let me show you.

This is her old video.

The number of likes is quite high.

They say that she

turned cooking into art.

Take a bite of inspiration.

Let breakfast be

an impressionist feast.

Art is not only in the art gallery,

but also on your plate.

Today,

let's try to

make

Monet's Impression, Sunrise.

Let's

color the sky first.

Put it in the corresponding position.

The content of her video

is so different from

the live streaming.

She has really changed a lot.

After I came back

from Sichuan,

I was in a bad mood

and couldn't eat.

But watching her videos

makes me eat.

Just recently, her account

has been updated more and more slowly.

But she is selling goods through livestream

more and more frequently.

I don't know what happened.

Look.

Thanks

This is the answer.

for Qingfeng's

support.

I'm here to wish you

freedom,

always smile

and make a fortune every day.

Who can not be moved by money?

That makes sense.

Keep watching the livestreamer.

I still choose to read

the contract report.

[Recording Studio] Let Xiaoai dance.

Dance.

Wish you smile often.

Dance. Xiaoai.

Make a fortune every day.

Excuse me.

Dear family.

Pause for a moment.

Give me five minutes.

I'll be right back.

Xiaoai. What's the matter?

Are you tired?

You didn't seem to be in the right mood just now.

When Qingfeng

gave you a present,

you should be more excited.

You should dance to thank him.

We should provide emotional value.

How can I provide it?

Look how small my coat is

and how short my skirt is.

Dancing will expose me.

I am a food blogger.

I have my own

advantages and expertise.

Why should I dance

to please those people?

Okay, I understand.

But do you know

why they gave you gifts?

That's what they want to see.

And remember.

We signed a contract

with the merchant.

They are all watching us

in the live-streaming channel.

The more open you are,

the more they earn, understand?

No.

Well.

I don't mind

doing something to make money.

But look at

what I'm wearing now.

Act young. Pander to men.

Even let me rely on vulgar behavior

to please those men.

I can't do it.

Stop arguing.

Stop arguing.

She came down.

Why not turn off her microphone?

Let Shasha and Xiaoxue go first.

Tell the fans that

Xiaoai will be back soon.

Well.

Shasha, go.

Hello, babies. Hello.

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai.

You think you can earn money

just by sitting in front of your mobile phone

and chatting?

Not that simple.

You think

it's easy for those

who become rich

by live streaming commerce?

Wake up.

You have no way out.

OK.

Well. Just relax.

After you adjust your status,

go back to the live-streaming channel.

I'll wait for you.

You think you can earn money

just by sitting in front of your mobile phone

and chatting?

Not that simple.

You think

it's easy for those

who become rich

by live streaming commerce?

Wake up.

You have no way out.

Mr. Liang.

Don't worry.

I already told Xiaoai.

She will certainly cooperate.

And we will

live stream for one more hour today

to ensure that the data

is done well.

Why did you change your clothes

and take off your makeup?

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai. What are you doing?

Thank you.

Hi. I'm back.

My dear family.

Xiaoai is back.

Did she take off her makeup

or did she lose her beauty mode?

Her plain face is also beautiful.

Just this suit.

I want to have a rest.

So

I will stop living stream

indefinitely from today.

Good-bye.

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai.

Xiaoai. Stop.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Turn off the live stream.

What's the matter?

Why are you surprised

when you watch the live stream?

No.

The livestreamer has escaped.

Hurry up.

Turn off the live stream.

Hurry up.

The live stream stopped.

[Caller ID: Li Bing]

[One Year Ago]

Let's drink to our sunflower.

Cheers.

For the first time,

our video broadcast volume

exceeded ten thousand.

Do you know what this means?

That means our video

has been seen ten thousand times.

Being seen ten thousand times

may also mean

being remembered ten thousand times.

I'm telling you,

I really didn't expect

your editing and creativity

to bring so much traffic.

Youyou.

What can I say about you?

You are a genius

of video creativity.

I just thought

it was fun at first.

I didn't expect others to like

what we like.

Maybe

this is the so-called sense of accomplishment.

Look.

They are all asking

what kind of the world-famous paintings

we will recreate next time.

I think

we can make

this theme

into a series,

which is called

A Gourmet who Loves Painting.

How's it going?

Good.

If

we

continue to work hard

in this direction,

will AYW

suddenly

become popular one day?

If it is hot,

I will attract sponsors

to monetize traffic.

Food and beauty.

This is our secret to boost online traffic.

Xiaoai.

Get ready to be popular.

I hope this is a good start.

In the future,

we can really

monetize traffic.

We will enjoy life

while shooting video.

We will travel

around the world together without lack of money.

Travel around the world.

Cheers. Cheers.

Family.

Today is

a super

special day

for AYW.

Because our fans

have exceeded 10 million.

OK?

This one is especially good.

Is it okay?

Of course.

Give me a minute.

Today is

a super

special day for AYW.

Because our fans

have exceeded 10 million.

Xiaoai.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

I can't believe you remember.

Since my parents divorced,

no one

has celebrated my birthday.

Even I forgot.

I didn't expect you to remember.

This one.

Open it.

AYW.

It is not only

our account,

but also our hard work.

Try it on.

Just right.

Xiaoai.

You wear it

as if I have been with you all the time.

No matter what happens,

I will always be there.

Xiaoai. What happened today?

Why do you have to

lose your temper

on the air?

In this way,

the platform and the brand

will come to our trouble.

It's okay.

Let's start living stream again tomorrow.

As long as you apologize

to the brand and fans,

I will pretend that

nothing happened.

Do you remember

what you said

when we first met?

Xiaoai. We finally meet.

Li Bing.

Youyou.

Youyou.

You are so elegant.

Nice to meet you.

Well.

I asked you to meet

to get to know

your vision

and plan

for where AYW goes next?

Okay.

Pretty much what I expected.

I'm guessing you two

don't fully understand

how the short-video world works yet.

Content matters, sure,

but you're ignoring monetization

and turning followers into revenue.

For an account like AYW,

at ten-million-plus scale,

that's not a mistake—it's fatal.

It's a waste,

but it's fine.

If we get the chance

to work together,

I can promise you this

AYW's value will skyrocket.

Okay, but if we partner up,

what does that look like?

How would we work together?

Right now,

I've got a top-tier team,

plus me—

years in the industry,

connections,

and

resources I've built up.

Bottom line,

I help you avoid the detours,

and cut down

the cost of mistakes.

And I'm pretty sure that's

exactly what you need right now.

Mr. Li,

this AYW account,

we two built it for two years.

We know the strengths and the gaps

you're talking about.

We're not against partnering,

but what we care about is

after we sign,

do we still

keep control?

An MCN exists

to support creators,

that's the whole point.

AYW works because

it has a personality—its own voice.

What we're focused on

is the business upside,

so on content,

we won't touch a thing.

Whatever ideas you have,

you'll run with them. I promise.

If your company

can actually bring us

solid resources,

then yeah,

this could be

a good opportunity for both sides.

No worries.

Honestly, I think partnering

is a lot like dating—

both people have to show up,

or it goes nowhere.

Youyou?

What are you doing here?

You came here

and didn't even tell me?

You went to see Li Bing again?

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell you in advance.

That's on me.

I'm not your boss.

You don't need to tell me

your whereabouts.

Youyou!

So what did he promise you this time?

Youyou.

I just think

maybe we could

give him a shot.

This is literally his business.

He is better than us.

I checked on him too.

Li Bing—

he was two-timing,

seeing two streamers at once.

When his story crumbled,

he took streamers' money

and bounced.

So tell me,

how can we trust a guy like that?

I'm not dating him.

If he's a player,

that's not my issue.

I don't care.

What I care about is,

I read his promo plan for us,

and it's actually good.

He also promised

to turn AYW into

a top-tier IP.

Wait—

are you seriously buying this?

Because plans are cheap—

until you actually execute them,

they don't mean anything.

And how do you know

he won't turn around

and change his tune?

We've come way too far

to blow this up

over a shiny pitch.

I won't.

This isn't impulse—

I'm thinking long-term,

for AYW.

And I can feel

he's being real with us.

He's never come for you,

so why do you

treat him like the enemy?

Because he's using you.

How can you not see that?

If he's using me,

I can use him right back.

Let me be clear—

I don't care who he is,

or what he's like as a man.

I only care about AYW.

And every big account

eventually

has to cash in.

So right now,

his plan, his resources,

his rollout—

that's our best

launchpad.

AYW isn't just yours.

And I'm not signing off on this.

I don't get it...

We're here today

mostly because of me.

People tune in for me.

Those ten million followers? Mine.

They're not here for you.

You…

you really think so?

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry.

- I just - Stop.

I got it.

Sir, pull over.

Youyou—

Pull over. Now.

[Caller ID: Li Bing]

[Contact: Youyou]

According to recent surveys,

[Legal Knowledge Sharing Session] about 90% of people

look up how to register a company

before they ever start a business.

But only 10% bother to learn

how to protect their equity.

Don't laugh—this is real data.

Last year,

I represented

a Gen-Z CEO,

whose case was all about

his shares being

maliciously diluted.

His business partner

had slipped clauses

into the equity agreement

that were unfavorable to my client.

In the end,

he told me,

"I didn't even finish reading

the company charter before I signed it.

I brought this on myself."

That case

taught us two things.

First,

founding partners

are the ones who share interests together,

but they're also competitors.

Even brothers need clear accounts.

Second,

when it comes to equity and control,

critical documents like this

must be reviewed

by a professional legal expert.

Hello, Attorney Kang.

Hi.

My name's Youyou.

I own a small dessert shop

in my hometown.

Your talk just now was incredible—

really useful.

Thanks.

I hope it helps

young entrepreneurs out there.

There's an influencer account

called AYW. Have you heard of it?

AYW?

Yeah, sounds familiar.

Why—were you part of it?

I used to be.

And now?

I stepped away.

So you're looking for help.

Attorney Kang,

do you have time to hear my story?

Sure.

I'm here.

[Youyou, come on up]

[Operations Department]

Hey. Youyou.

Long time no see.

Li's been waiting for you.

Have a seat, please.

Sorry I'm late.

You said you had something important

to talk about—

what is it?

Right.

So, Li came up with

a plan that fits us better.

We start a new company together

and operate AYW as a team.

Honestly,

it's the best option I can think of

for you.

But Xiaoai insisted

on waiting for you

before deciding.

AYW belongs

to the two of us.

Of course.

But it could also belong

to the three of us.

A win-win partnership, right?

So what exactly is your plan?

I'm thinking,

if I take over operations for you,

then we stop guessing

and start playing the algorithm.

I know how the platform thinks.

I'll back you up

with content,

and exposure.

I'll coach your lives,

teach you the formats that work,

the stuff that actually converts.

You'll grow faster,

like a skyrocket.

Because right now,

You're grinding in place.

And I'm telling you,

that ceiling's not moving.

So we are useless, right?

I don't mean that.

Don't turn me into the bad guy.

We're on the same side—friends, family.

I'm being straight with you.

I want to help you.

Alright, let's be real.

You just want a cut.

You want to cash in on us.

Money's part of it. Sure.

But it's bigger than that.

It's a win-win.

We all get paid, and we all get bigger.

And I promise,

this takes you to the next level.

More reach, more opportunities.

More doors open.

That's what you want.

Am I right?

Xiaoai, we're leaving.

Youyou.

I wanna try it.

I don't want to throw this away.

Goodbye.

I should've run this by you first,

about starting a company.

I'm sorry.

It's my bad.

So,

you've decided

to file with him?

Youyou.

We need to develop.

We need real money.

Li Bing promised,

you know,

once we set it up,

he'll help us with paid promotion

and bring in business resources.

He's even offering

a sixty-forty split— we keep the sixty.

You hear yourself?

Why does everything he says

sound like gospel to you?

Is there

a minimum guarantee?

Do you even understand the company structure,

how it's supposed to run,

or what the operating costs really look like?

Anyone can make big promises.

Wake up.

We can

talk about the split again.

So tell me,

what do you want?

Seventy–thirty.

Fine.

But I have one condition.

Li Bing stays out of it.

Just the two of us

to register the company together.

And that's it.

I want that too,

but Li Bing,

he's a shortcut.

If there's a shortcut,

why take the long road?

You've always been against him.

So that's why you went after him—

to use him.

Yes. I do.

Because he's an outsider.

Working with him

doesn't change

what you and I have.

Youyou.

I can't agree to this.

Haven't you seen

the streamers he works with?

Every single one of them

is pushed into a sexy persona.

They don't even get time

to eat or drink.

They're worked to the bone,

no room to breathe.

What does that have to do with me?

I made it clear to him

that I'm a food creator.

Why are you so hung up on him?

He's never once

spoken badly about you.

We're not kids anymore.

I don't need you to plan my life!

So that's it—you two split up?

After that fight,

I moved out of the apartment,

and left.

I went back home

and opened a dessert shop.

Business is okay.

This time I came back

for the startup conference,

to level myself up a bit.

Learn how to do this right.

That AYW account—

A and Y—

was that

you and her?

Youyou and Xiaoai?

So after you left,

the account stayed with her?

Before I left,

I handed it over to her.

And gave her full control

over everything.

After that,

I didn't interfere anymore.

We two

haven't been in touch

for a while.

A few days ago,

she suddenly announced on stream

that she was stepping away.

She looked like

something really got to her.

So you came to me

to talk things through,

to help your friend

or because you want

to reclaim

what you once walked away from?

My share—

she can have all of it.

But if she's been

deceived or hurt,

I won't sit back and do nothing.

If you need help,

come find me at Chen Jun Law Firm.

[Kang Jun, Chief Attorney]

Hello everyone, I'm Li Bing.

I'm sorry we're meeting like this.

This isn't how I planned it.

Xiaoai and I met

six months ago.

She came to me first,

talking about starting a company together

to run AYW.

At first, I said no.

But,

she came back four or five times,

and she was sincere.

She promised

she'd honor the contract.

But as you all saw,

she walked out mid-stream.

Just left.

Now AYW

is facing

hundreds of millions in damages.

I don't have that kind of money.

Miss Xiaoai.

Did you clear it with me before you went live?

And stopping the stream—

you didn't ask me about that either, did you?

Do you even realize

how many people does this company support?

This account—

do you know how much I've invested?

You walked away because you felt like it.

So what do you expect me to do?

Take a look outside.

From sourcing products to daily ops,

people are grinding nonstop.

You say one word—"I'm done"—

and everyone's supposed to starve?

This isn't a game.

It's not kids playing house.

That's not what you said before.

You said AYW

had its own value.

You said I was

that value.

You partnered with me

because you believed in my ability,

right?

You wanted to make money.

You came to me.

So remember this—

products don't sell themselves.

If someone puts them on the shelf,

then your value has a price tag.

But if you're not even on the shelf—

you're worth nothing.

Don't pretend I'm insulting you.

In this building,

everyone's the same.

Me included.

We're all for sale,

if the price is right.

[Caller ID: Youyou]

Why aren't you eating?

Watching your weight?

For the stream numbers,

they want me to stay thin.

The less I eat, the harder it gets.

Lately it's been…

like an eating disorder.

You changed the host

and didn't tell me?

Are you still mad at me?

No.

I was never

angry with you.

Back then,

we were both reckless.

And maybe

we wanted different things.

I can tell.

These past few months,

you've been through a lot.

I'm sorry.

I should've listened to you.

I should've protected AYW better.

I shouldn't have trusted Li Bing.

What you believed in

wasn't really him,

it was the future he promised you.

That's why you lost your way.

I get it.

Honestly, I hesitated too.

When he talked to me about

starting

a new company together.

If back then

I'd asked you to stay,

maybe things with AYW

would've turned out differently.

You coming back this time—

it really means a lot to me.

Xiaoai.

No matter what happens,

for AYW-

I'm here with you.
