[Viva Femina]

[Episode 19]

Well...

Fine.

If you...

Since you know

you're wrong,

I can also

be generous and forgive you.

But you don't have to

be shy

because you're afraid to see me.

I-I-I...

I can move on from this.

But from now on,

it all depends on your performance.

Hug me.

Is your apology

a little aggressive?

Kiss me.

No, I...

I'm not prepared.

Kiss me.

Should I...

I'll take a shower.

I won't run away from home anymore.

I won't go anywhere.

I'll stay by your side, okay?

You're awake.

Why didn't you tell me?

You should sleep more.

It's still early.

It's okay.

If you're up, don't go back to sleep.

Come, sit here.

Look at this breakfast.

I prepared so much.

These are all your favourites.

There are fried dough sticks,

dragon fruit,

and tea eggs.

This one.

This scallion pancake is very good.

It's golden. Look.

It's crispy outside and tender inside.

Here.

There're also big buns and small buns.

The skin is thin and there's lots of filling.

It's okay.

I also cooked

small wontons for you.

Here you go.

Look at these wontons.

I made them fresh for you

this morning.

Here, try it.

I promise

you'll feel it from your mouth

to your heart.

Look.

I got up early today

and prepared

a spread of your favourite

f-f-food.

Please don't be angry anymore.

You can see

my sincerity, right?

It's hot. Be careful.

Last night,

when you cried,

my heart was torn to pieces.

I can't stand you crying.

I don't want you to be sad.

So, honey, I promise you.

No matter what happens,

I won't run away from home.

I'll report to you immediately.

Please forgive me this time.

Actually, I wasn't comfortable either.

I've been sleeping

in the garage.

If

there's anything

that I didn't do well enough,

will you forgive me?

What could you

not do well enough?

If anything,

it should be me who

didn't do well enough.

Or I was wrong.

My...

My wife is always right.

Don't be mad at me.

Eat first.

It'll get cold.

Have some too.

I made this tea egg

with quality tea leaves.

That tea that you

gave to Director Luo.

It's more than 1,000 yuan per tael.

This t-t-tea egg that I made...

Thank you.

Mr. Lin.

This is Lin Tong’s dad and mom.

-Mrs. Lin. -Welcome. Hello.

Hello.

An academician at the Academy of Sciences.

He's amazing.

She's a registered accountant.

Awesome.

Come on.

Come on.

Come, sit inside.

Thank you, Mr Lin.

When will Chen Zhe and his father

come?

I don't know. It should be soon.

I got the name list

from Ms. Zhao.

I called them one by one.

I wouldn't have missed them.

Mrs. Shen.

Long time no see.

-Long time no see. -You've maintained your looks so well.

We have a new treatment.

Do it at our center next time.

Okay, I brought you a gift.

Thank you.

-Thank you. -Welcome.

How's the thing with the editor?

We're looking for him.

We haven't found him.

What do you mean you haven't found him?

Well, I've been busy

with Shen Hang's stuff recently.

I don't have that much time.

Let me tell you.

After the banquet,

you have to settle the editor

as soon as possible.

We must find him.

We'll only be at ease after we find him.

Do you know?

-Yes, I know. -You know?

-You know? -Mrs. Shen.

Ms. Zhao.

Come on.

Am I late?

No, you're just in time.

This is Ms. Zhao.

Hello, Ms. Zhao.

-Hello, -This is my husband, Shen Chengfeng.

Hello.

Shen Hang.

Come over.

Ms. Zhao is here.

Come.

-Quickly. -Come here.

Ms. Zhao is here.

What are you doing? Come.

Hello, Ms. Zhao.

This kid is really nice.

During the selection,

I had high hopes for him.

But that time,

it was a pity.

Right?

But now,

because of Chen Zhe's withdrawal,

we have a vacancy

for Shen Hang.

It's fate.

Right?

-I think so too. -Wait.

You mean

Shen Hang joined the Art Group

because Chen Zhe

decided to quit

so there's a vacancy,

right?

Yes.

Because

Chen Zhe quit voluntarily,

we now have a vacancy.

Ms. Zhao,

please come in.

I need to talk to my wife.

Have a seat.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

No, no, no.

Sit down.

Lin Qianyu.

Why is Shen Hang's vacany

Chen Zhe's?

I just found out too.

Well,

if he doesn't quit,

how can Shen Hang enter?

Besides,

is Chen Zhe important?

Of course.

Chen Zhe's father is Mr. Chen.

The main purpose of this banquet

is to invite

Chen Zhe

and his father.

The other parents

are meaningless to me.

Do you know that?

Mr. Chen is Chen Zhe's father, is that right?

The financing of the group

is not in place yet.

We're just missing Chen Zhe's father's

approval.

Look at you.

You pushed Chen Zhe

out of the Art Group.

Lin Qianyu.

Are you out of your mind?

If Mr. Chen

knows about this,

wouldn't I have

shot myself in the foot?

Why are you blaming me?

I didn't know about

their relationship.

Mr. Chen is Chen Zhe's father.

Besides,

I had no idea

of the connection between Mr. Chen

and your company.

My only goal is

to get Shen Hang into the Art Group.

It's all for

for your son.

Why are you blaming me?

Listen, Lin Qianyu.

If my son

is like you,

and only knows how to create trouble,

I would rather do without him.

So I'm just a tool

for you to build your career?

What are you talking about?

Can't you see that I'm talking

to Auntie Lin?

Get out.

If I didn't follow you,

I wouldn't have heard

my father say something like that.

I practise the piano so hard every day.

I'm criticized by you every day

just so you can build relationships?

You've been out for so many years.

Is this how your mom taught you

to talk to your dad?

If my mom knows

you're still like this,

she wouldn't have let me come back.

Hang.

Say that again.

You can't

talk to your father like this.

Why do you care

what I say?

Forget about how you meddled

my parents' relationship.

Are you going to interfere with my dad and me too?

I interfered?

What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

I can tell you

as many times as you like.

Get out!

Get out!

Hang.

Hang.

No.

What did he say?

What family did I destroy?

-You didn’t. -When I was with you,

you were single, right?

-Don’t listen the kid. -What?

Why did he talk about me like that?

Alright, stop it.

Many guests are here today.

Secondly,

I’ll take Li Wen

to see Mr. Chen now.

I have to clean up

this mess.

I'll explain it to you when I'm back.

Okay?

No.

You have to make it clear.

What do you mean?

-Why should I... -I told you I don’t have time!

I'm going out to solve the problem!

Don't be nervous.

Just tell me

what you know.

I...

Do I really have to be on camera?

Of course.

No one will believe it's true

if you don't go on camera.

Can you say it yourself first?

If you go to court later,

I will definitely be your witness.

Come, sit down.

Listen to me.

Do you know

what kind of damage

I suffered?

I want more than

legal justice.

I want to be innocent in the eyes of the public.

I have no ability

-to change public opinion. -You can.

As long as you step forward

and trust me,

and believe in yourself.

Yes, I...

I want to believe in myself too.

But I...

I'm a little nervous now.

And

I really want to know

if everyone

will see

this video?

Will my mom see it too?

-If my mom sees it... -Don't be nervous.

-Calm down. -She’ll kill me.

And now I...

-she already nows that... -Calm down.

-I don't have a job. -Sit down!

Look at me.

Let me tell you.

It's impossible for you

to not go on camera today.

I...

Because of what you guys did,

my reputation is ruined.

Do you think I'll let you go?

Don't be irresponsible

just because you were the editor.

I'm helping you today.

I'm helping you

to get out of this.

If you refuse,

you'll be an accomplice

along with the cosmetic center.

I will bring you all

to court.

When that happens,

if your mother wants to see you again,

it'll be court.

Zhenghao.

You're doing something righetous.

Your mom will be proud of you.

The stars must be

really bright at night.

Right?

If you like it,

we can come here more often.

Okay.

Next time,

let's leave our phones at home.

We won't bring them.

No one will be able to find us.

We'll take a good vacation.

In this era, if you're unreachable by mobile,

it's like you went missing.

Don't you think phones

are taking up too much

of our time?

I'm trying not to

touch my phone

unless I'm working or checking the time.

Actually, you don't have to

look at your phone to check the time.

I...

I forgot it before I left.

Actually, I don't

have the habit of wearing a watch.

Really?

Then I won't

give you a watch next time.

I'll cut it

from the gift list.

No.

I like the gift.

It's pretty.

I just

don't have this habit yet.

I'll cultivate it slowly.

As long as you like it.

It's custom-made.

I can carve words onto it.

It's custom-made.

Is it expensive?

Yes.

Mr. Nie, you are so generous.

We just started and you gave me

such an expensive gift.

What if...

What if?

If I'm already hungry,

can we

cook in advance?

What should we eat today?

Steak.

This is a little difficult.

Let me teach you.

I know how to use it.

You do?

Have you used it with your daughter?

Yes.

When I was with my daughter.

After you left that day,

I've been thinking

if you were letting me know

or testing me.

After all, the image that you present

is very different from that of having a daughter.

I don't look like a mother?

Not really.

Well...

After all, we've known each other for so long.

I've never heard you talk about it.

So I think

you hid it well.

Yes.

Actually, we haven't known each other

for very long.

We weren't close enough

to share about our lives

right?

Yes.

You're right.

Let's have a barbecue.

Okay.

Let me find it.

Where is the lighter?

I'm the editor

of the promotional video that Ms. Xia filmed for

Lijia United Cosmetic Medical Center,

Zhang Zhenghao.

Today,

I want to tell everyone that

the final clip...

So you went to look for the editor

behind my back?

Why do you say that

I hid it from you?

Do I have to

report everything

to you?

You don't have to

tell me everything

but you have to tell me the important things

at least.

You have to let me to know, right?

Or do you think

we're not close enough

so you don't have to tell me this?

Stop using him.

You just want to say

that you really mind the fact that

I have a daughter, right?

Kang Ziyou, I told you.

I don't mind you having a daughter.

I don't care about these things either.

I just hope

you can tell me in advance

and let me know things like this,

about the editor

and the fact that you have a daughter.

You could've told me earlier.

And that your ex-husband is called Zheng Qiong.

You can tell me all this

in advance.

I felt that

you told me

because...

you just wanted to

make me jealous.

I used Zheng Qiong to make you jealous.

How could you have

such a lame idea?

Okay, let's not talk about Zheng Qiong.

At the very least, you could've

told me about your daughter.

The fact that I have a daughter

is

big news to you.

For me,

it's completely natural.

Every time I meet someone,

do I have to announce that

I, Kang Ziyou,

am divorced and single and have a daughter?

Really?

Don't you think it's strange?

I thought you knew

after we had gone official.

Of course, it was my daughter

who made a joke

and created a misunderstanding

between us.

But I didn't mean to

hide it from you.

Or do you think

when we were

just platonic friends,

I should have already told you?

So, tell me,

are we just friends now?

Before we got together,

we were just friends.

Am I wrong?

Or when do you think

we stopped being

platonic friends?

Is our timing

and rhythm so different?

What timing?

What rhythm?

Okay, please tell me

what your rhythm is next time

and

I'll try to cater to your rhythm

or get to know

each other's rhythms.

Don't suddenly act like...

When I've already fallen in love with you,

then you suddenly

have a daughter.

I have no idea

what to do.

But the problem is not that you have a daughter.

I just feel like

I was fooled.

Okay, let's go back to half a month ago.

When you just confessed,

say I told you that

I have a daughter.

Would you accept it?

I told you.

The problem is not that you have a daughter.

I don't mind you having a daughter.

I hope you could have

told me earlier.

Otherwise, I feel like

you don't care about me at all.

What should I do

to make you feel

like I care about you?

I just feel like

I can't hold onto you.

What are you trying to hold onto while we're dating?

What do you want to hold onto?

I think

our definition of love

is completely different.

I was too naive.

I thought

you would be different.

Fortunately,

it wasn't a long time.

Are you

leaving?

This place is cold and shabby.

Do you still want to stay here

for vacation?

I don't want to.

When will he arrive?

It's been over an hour.

He probably got into a traffic jam.

Did he know I was coming?

He doesn't want to see me.

Don't overthink.

I must see him today.

You're all here.

You guys go on.

Long time no see.

Mr. Chen.

Hello.

Long time no see.

Mr. Shen.

Mr. Chen is here.

Hurry up.

Hurry up. Go.

Mr. Chen.

Why are you here?

Long time no see.

I knew you would come today,

so I came to see you.

Really?

Did you come here alone?

With whom?

A friend came with me. He is inside.

Long time no see, Mr. Shen.

I didn't expect

that you would have such a beautiful secretary.

I should have

taken the earliest flight and gotten back

as soon as possible

so I could give you a warm reception.

You must be joking.

Anyway,

a capable

and pretty secretary like her,

they are ambitious.

I wonder what would happen

if she climbed to a higher branch.

You've trained her for so many years.

What if the bird has flown?

Mr. Yan,

You don't need to worry about it.

It's okay.

You're wearing so little.

Aren't you cold?

No.

Let's talk inside.

Okay.

Hello, Mr. Chen.

Long time no see.

Shen, long time no see.

I came uninvited today.

Would you mind?

Of course not.

Besides,

I get along well with Li Wen.

OK. You sit and enjoy.

Tell me if you need anything.

I'm here today

to apologize to you.

What do you mean?

It's about my wife.

I don't know what's wrong

with her brain.

She actually

grabbed your son's seat

in the art group.

When I found out about this,

I was very angry.

So I asked Li Wen

to contact you.

I must apologize

to you in person.

I'm very sorry.

You really don't have to do this.

I know this.

My son also told me about it.

He gave up the spot himself.

There's no need to apologize.

Okay.

All right. You enjoy.

Mr. Chen, how about this?

Since we're here today,

we would like to invite you

to dinner

to show our apology to you.

It's indeed our fault.

Shen.

You are really lowering your profile

for this financing.

Actually, for this cooperation,

our Chengfeng Group

is really full of sincerity.

I can feel

your sincerity.

But I'm picky about

choosing business partners.

And I think highly of fate.

Let's

not waste each other's time here.

OK.

Li Wen.

I did you a favor.

Don't forget about the place you mentioned.

Thank you, Mr. Chen.

That's because

you think highly of me.

Then it's a deal.

I'll arrange it next time.

But

don't

pay the bill for me again.

OK.

Have a seat.

Tell me if you need anything.

Okay.

Take care, Mr. Chen.

Li Wen.

Li Wen.

Li Wen, I did you a favor.

What does he mean?

Who do you think I am?

Mr. Shen.

Have you seen the news?

What news?

I want to tell you that

the final video

was edited maliciously

according to the idea of the person in charge of Lijia United.

Miss Xia Ling.

-didn't... -Li Wen.

Call Lin Qianyu immediately.

She didn't have the surgery either.

Tell her

what her company has done.

Hello.

Hello, Ms. Lin.

Xia Ling has found that film editor.

The group has decided to

suspend Lijia United's operations for rectification.

So we need to

talk about the layoff.

Layoff?

Why didn't I know?

I'm sorry.

I'm just responsible for conveying

the decision of the group.

When did they make the decision?

Just now.

So please

come to Lijia United now.

We need to go through the process.

Okay, I see.

Ms. Lin.

I heard there was an emergency meeting.

Yes.

By the way,

Kang Ziyou helped

find that film editor,

right?

Yes.

Let's go in.

Ms. Lin,

you're finally here.

Let's

get to the point.

The task of the group this time

is to stop the loss in time

and try our best to keep

the core value of our cosmetic medical center.

We need to get rid of the redundancy as soon as possible.

So layoffs and dismissals

are a necessary process.

And tonight,

we must sort out

all the departments and employees

that we have to lay off.

For example, we must fire employees

like Ms. Zhao,

who is old

and unable to

add real value to the company

despite her high salary.

There's no need to lay Ms. Zhao off.

After all, she has been working for me

since the first day

the company opened.

She deserves credit.

Ms. Lin.

Reality is harsh

and can't be affected by your personal feelings.

The current situation is that either we lay off

or we sink into the sea together.

Ms. Kang,

the cosmetic medical center is about to lay off employees.

Dr. Nie and Ms. Lin

are having a meeting inside.

Everyone is worried.

How annoying!

I don't know

where the hell they found that film editor.

We all got into trouble because of him.

[Build Lijia Together] [United for the Future]

I believe you have heard some news

through various methods

and ways.

No matter how much

you believe the news,

what I can tell you now

is that

Lijia United is not as difficult

as it seems in your mind.

I will try my best to solve

the current problem.

Give me some time.

But before that,

I can only ask you to

go home and rest for a while.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Lin.

We will start

carrying out the plan tomorrow.

What about you?

What's your plan?

I haven't decided yet.

No matter what your plan is,

I'll respect that.

After all, I can't give you

a better development environment.

Do you really think

that Kang Ziyou

was doing the right thing?

Or she just wanted to get back at me?

No matter what her motive is

and whatever she wants to do,

she never cares about others' feelings.

She wasn't like this before.

She was very considerate

about everything.

She would take care of everything.

What happened this time?

Did I really

upset her?

Not really.

It's the top search now.

Who are you?

Do I have a grudge against you?

In the future,

you will need me.

Please.

Mr. Shen, Mr. Shi is here.

Okay, you may leave now.

Mr. Shi.

I've been waiting for you.

What a coincidence.

I happen to bring some tea

to you.

A small gift. Please don't mind.

You're too kind.

Here.

Have a seat.

Nice view, Mr. Shen.

Not bad, right?

I like

broad vision.

Being a human, I believe, is the same.

We can't

confine our minds

to a very narrow field of view.

One can see further if he stands higher

and sees more.

I agree.

Have a seat.

It is the same way

we in handling business.

When it comes to business,

how big it is depends on

the perspective and aspirations of a person.

Mr. Shi,

you didn't come to see me today

just to

have tea with me, did you?

Mr. Shen,

why don't you try my tea first?

Your tea?

These are from my tea garden

in South Africa.

It's different from any kind in China.

Mr. Shen, are you interested

in giving it a try?

I smell

a strong scent of tea.

I'm always

full of curiosity

about new things.

But sometimes,

curiosity

will kill cats.

I don't know

if the risk

would be too high.

High risk will bring higher reward.

A brand new business concept.

A brand new profit mode.

Your words

intrigue me.

I'm willing to try it.

I don't know if there's a chance for me.

Of course.

Let's talk while drinking.

Okay.

You should also try my tea.

How is it?

Very good!

Didn't I arrange everything

when your mother got sick?

I helped Kang Ni

from kindergarten to primary school,

and then to middle school.

Your work. Your house.

If it weren't for me helping you!

I don't deserve it?

If I don't deserve to be your friend,

why have I been doing these for you for so many years?

Am I doing charity here?

So we

are both selfish.

No one is qualified

to talk about friendship.

We are both jerks.

I have a family.

And my husband is bossy.

You're the only one who knows my difficulties.

What are you looking for?

Didn't we buy a batch of

4.0 probes abroad before?

Now this kind of probe can't be imported.

So I think I can sell these for some money.

Where did you put them?

I remembered

you saying they were expensive.

So I put them

in this safe.

The password is your birthday.

Looks like

I have to be wary of you,

in case

you decide to sell this cosmetic medical center

and me.

And I would still count the money for you.

About Xia Ling,

I have to do it.

I'm sorry.

Since you're here, do me a favor.

I want to check the inventory

to see if there are any unused

consumables and equipment.

So we can resell it for some money.

At least we can pay the employees' salaries.

You can owe anything to anyone but your employees,

right?

I'm not

very familiar with the warehouse.

Can you help me?

Okay.

Do you remember this sofa?

We walked around the furniture market

a whole day

before deciding to buy it.

It was decided by rock-paper-scissors, right?

You always cheat.

Two out of three.

Then three out of five.

Anyway, you have to

buy the over-budget one.

We were

so poor that time.

It's comfortable.

I think this is the

first and most valuable thing

we have bought, right?

You were just like you are now.

That night,

you slept on the sofa.

And that instrument.

Do you remember?

We came to that supplier.

We coaxed and pestered him,

and finally we bought it at cost price.

Just to but it at cost price,

we bought him dinner twice.

At that time,

you were really bad at drinking.

Two glasses top.

Then you would pass out.

I was the one who drank along with them.

I almost drank to death.

And that...

that attending doctor.

What is his name?

Niu.

Yes, that's him.

Him.

He's even more ridiculous.

On the first day of work, he told me

the equipment was broken.

Do you remember?

The point is

that we didn't know a thing about the equipment.

We didn't have the money to call someone to fix it.

So I went

and checked the equipment. There is nothing wrong with it.

He didn't even plug it in.

Yes.

That's so ridiculous.

I decided on the spot

that I had to fire him.

There is no way I would let him stay.

Come on, Lin Qianyu.

It was I who insisted,

so you fired him.

Otherwise, you wouldn't want to fire him.

What?

I was the one

who said he had to get lost today.

Did you forget?

I went to check his background.

He was not even qualified to practice medicine.

You agreed to fire him

after I showed you these.

Yes.

That appears to be more like it.

How ridiculous were we?

How did you find the film editor?

You might not believe me,

even if I told you.

It was a coincidence.

So

it's God's will.

I deserve it.

Actually, I didn't want

things to come to this point.

It's all Yang Zhao's fault.

He is too greedy

and has to drag me into this.

That Li Wen.

She is not a good person either.

She's just an assistant.

Bring up "Group"

every day.

We have been doing this

for years.

Do we need her to teach us

how to run the business?

She is just a transmitter.

Does she really think of herself

as the prime minister?

It's all Shen Chengfeng's fault.

Am I right?

He's a jerk.

I'm his wife.

Why does he have to find an outsider

between us

to tell me how to do things?

Do you know

Shen Hang and I had a quarrel

at home?

He said I was the mistress.

So I asked Shen Chengfeng.

What's going on?

How could your son

say that to me?

Guess what happened?

From pursuing me

to formalizing a relationship with me,

he didn't get divorced

during that time.
