[Viva Femina]

[Episode 20]

Guess what happened?

From the time Shen was chasing me

to the time he was dating me,

he didn't get divorced

during that time.

He's not single.

I didn't know I was a mistress.

No wonder

his relatives and friends

looked at me with strange eyes,

but I didn't know why.

Turned out everyone thought

I was a mistress.

I was happy every day.

Was I a joke?

My opinions are not important at home.

And my opinions are not important

in Lijia United.

Though I'm the legal person

of the company,

my words don't count.

Not really.

You can do something too.

I can decide this. Here.

Here.

♫Dear her, leave you under the stars♫

♫Go after fireworks on tiptoe♫

♫No matter how big the world is, you can feel the wind when running♫

[Lijia United Medical Aesthetics]

[Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement]

You've torn it.

Anyhow, all of you

♫I look at her, with long hair or short hair♫

lost your jobs because of me.

I also feel guilty.

♫Have a glass of wine or tea♫

Do you feel guilty?

You are still conscientious.

♫To tears, it is sweet and bitter♫

But don't worry.

Do you think in this situation,

I want get you in trouble

♫Say goodbye to so many loved people♫

and let you face it

with me?

I'm not that kind of person.

I'll set you free,

so that you can have a bright future.

♫She can wear the white veil or armor♫

Lest you all think

I can't live without you

♫She can be a housewife or an able woman♫

It's not like that.

♫She may get hurt, and she can fall in love again and again♫

I'll live well

without you.

♫Answer♫

♫Find yourself♫

I never treat my friends

unfairly

But Xia Ling,

I only have marketing experience

in medical aesthetics.

Selling the project

is quite similar

to selling the public persona.

With your intelligence,

you can do a job similar.

Also,

more importantly,

I only trust you now.

If it's about money,

we could discuss it.

Of course you know

it's not about money.

Kangkang.

Look.

This matter.

From the beginning to now.

I have no chance to express my opinion

except clarify.

In others' eyes,

I've become a woman

who would have privacy treatment

for my young husband.

For your husband,

and for yourself.

What's wrong with that?

You should know.

I was popular online.

It wasn't because I was selling my public persona,

but because I was

that kind of person.

The charity I led

and the public welfare projects I endorsed

are all canceled.

If my persona

can't continue anymore,

then the one that will get hurt not only me,

but also those

who need help.

My appeal

with your ideas.

So,

we should work together

[Fashion Hedi Magazine Co., Ltd.]

[Employment Contract]

to help more people.

How about this, Xia Ling?

We can try

to work together first.

If you think I have the ability,

and I also think

I can do it,

we'll sign the contract then.

Do you think that's okay?

Sure.

No problem.

It's up to you.

If you could find

the film cutter sooner

and offer him some money,

this wouldn't have

gone to this today.

These are the acquisition agreements

from three companies.

Have a look.

After you read it,

pick a good one.

We can find a day to sign

the acquisition agreement.

All three are negotiating with me.

They want to takeover Lijia United.

One is a foreign company,

And one is Ziwei,

a Chinese-established company of medical aesthetics.

The other one

belongs to your good friend.

Deng Weiwei's company.

You mean

you want to sell Lijia United?

Of course.

Don't you know

the financial situation

of the whole group?

Mr. Chen's investment

hasn't reached my account yet.

We have invested a lot

in the early stage.

This is a bottomless pit

that costs money without revenue.

And your

Lijia United...

Impossible.

I won't agree.

If the group goes bankrupt,

our life will be ruined.

What about our child?

Have you ever considered our family?

Haven't I considered enough

for our family?

Haven't I sacrificed enough?

Listen.

It's impossible for you to sell the Lijia United.

Don't forget.

When we started up the company,

Lijia United was registered

in my name.

As long as I don't agree,

no one can sell it.

Okay.

Lijia United

is in your name.

Good, Lin Qianyu.

The big house you're living now,

whose name is it in?

The pajama you're wearing

was bought by me

at a show at a high price.

The bracelet you're wearing

was bought by me

from a charity auction.

Don't you know

which school

our children go to?

The best private school in this city.

What do you mean?

I just want to tell you

everything you have now

is from me.

Without me,

if I didn't buy you these,

your life

would not be

as comfortable as now.

With your

Lijia United,

can you live the life

that you want?

Can you?

So now,

you have two choices.

Listen carefully.

First,

choose one

from these three quotations.

Sell the Lijia United

without objection.

The second one.

From now on,

you won't get a penny

from me.

Be independent

with Lijia United

under your name.

Think about it.

Many painters

have painted this picture.

Those Pre-Raphaelites

were very interested in

finding inspiration in classic narrative.

I often see you here.

You always spend a lot of time

in front of this painting.

So I think

you must like this painting.

I just want to be alone.

Have you ever run

in the art museum?

Run. In the art museum.

No running in the art museum.

I've heard that

as long as you run fast enough,

your worries will be left behind.

Every time I sit in front of this painting,

I always think

maybe we just create

a big world

in her magic mirror.

Maybe.

What else?

Later,

she sees the Knight of the Round Table

in the magic mirror.

She can't hold back her admiration

She leaves the weaving machine and comes to the window.

When she sees the real world,

the curse comes true.

The magic mirror is broken.

She is entangled by the thread.

Although she get rid of the thread

after efforts,

she still dies

before she meets her beloved.

So the painter of this work

wants to tell us

don't leave the tower easily.

Maybe he wants to tell us

even in face of death and curse,

we should go out with strive.

Young boy.

No more Chicken Soup for the Soul.

Everyone in this world

has something

that they can't let go of.

Can't let go of.

Maybe it's because

you haven't run fast enough.

This is the world record

for running in an art museum.

How are you?

You again?

It was you who made the trouble last time.

Stop right there!

♫Find yourself♫

Hello, this way please.

Hello.

Nice to meet you here.

Today's book signing

was supposed to be held

a long time before now.

But due to some unforeseen circumstances,

it was postponed.

But today,

I can finally

meet you.

I feel

very excited.

What's wrong?

You're out of your mind.

Nothing. I didn't sleep well last night.

Didn't sleep well?

You wouldn't come out, if you didn't sleep well.

I don't believe it.

Mom.

Let me ask you a question.

Go ahead.

Among all the boyfriends

you make,

what are their reactions

when they know you have a child?

All kinds.

Some are surprised.

Some think it doesn't matter.

Some disappear

within a few days.

Do a lot of people

disappear like that

or refuse to accept?

It's what I think.

If he doesn't accept

the fact

that I have a child,

how can he

be my boyfriend?

Right?

But...

What if you like him very much?

I have no choice.

I can't force him

to change himself.

Right?

Aren't you sad?

I think it's more like

being disappointed.

But have you ever thought that

he suddenly found out about

this thing,

he couldn't accept it in a short time,

or he didn't know how to solve it?

He was scared by the fact

that you have a child.

I don't think these are important.

The most important thing is

his attitude

after knowing these things.

What attitude after knowing these?

Well.

He should at least let me know

he is trying to accept

the fact

Then I...

I know.

I should at least show

my attitude

and try to understand

her child.

Or get along with her child.

That's kind of the way to do it, right?

By the way,

why are you

always asking me this today?

Mom, this book suits you.

-Your charm comes from details. -Don't interrupt.

Tell me the truth.

Am I right?

Tell me the truth.

This time,

I really make you in trouble.

Thank you.

Never mind.

You helped me a lot before.

Actually,

I understand

Miss. Xia's desire to make a comeback.

But books

when the author

enjoys a high reputation.

Now,

it really promotes at a loss.

It's okay.

We can take our time.

Okay.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you.

Look at this...

Mom.

Let's check out.

Don't arrange

such a thing again.

So few people came.

Other than making me feel

I'm out of fashion,

what else does it do?

You said you wanted to do a book signing.

And I asked many bookstores.

But they refused.

It was Ms. Kang

who connected this bookstore

through her own connection.

Good things come after a long time.

No hurry.

Any other arrangements?

Nothing.

A lot of cooperation fails.

There's only one.

What?

A magazine.

What magazine?

Mr. Perfect

wants to have an interview.

It will be streamed live online.

Isn't that a fashion magazine for men?

Yes, that one.

They want to see you.

They say...

Say what?

I think they do it on purpose.

They know

I insulted them before.

Now they want to take the chance to take revenge.

Right?

No.

Why don't you reconsider?

It might be

a good crossover cooperation.

Have they sent you the planning case

and interview outline?

Yes.

I'll send these in the group chat.

I won't go no matter how good it is.

Xia Ling,

I think

this might be

a good opportunity.

No.

Ziyou,

Do you think

changing my image

can change public opinion?

Also,

do you know the target group

of that magazine?

Xia Ling.

Calm down.

The previous content

and ideas of it

only represent

previous interviewees.

That can't represent you.

Your target group

s urban women

over 18.

They're highly educated,

with stable incomes and open minds.

But they have

their own opinions.

After what happened last time,

their opinions

have changed a little.

Yes.

So I need to consolidate

this target group.

If I accept the interview with

Mr. Perfect

it sounds like I totally abandon

those who support me.

They don't want you to consolidate

They want you to fight back.

Because those

who really hurt you

are people

like the target group

of Mr. Perfect

They don't know you.

They don't want to know you.

So they'll take your saying out of context.

If we dare to

face the people

who hate us,

we'll have a chance to communicate.

And we can even

get the chance to convince them.

It's not that simple.

Of course it's not simple.

So what?

The public opinion can't be worse anyway.

We really need a chance

to speak out,

and a good platform.

And this interview

is live online.

There's no possibility of editing.

You can express

your opinions accurately.

I really think

it's a good opportunity.

Bring me the interview draft.

Let me have a look.

I'll print it.

But this time,

you have to prepare my speech.

Okay.

Shanshan.

Shanshan.

Help me.

Okay.

How have you been with Zheng?

Did you have a fight?

No.

How are you do you get along

with the leader in your company?

Not bad.

Not bad.

Shansha.

Listen to me.

In work,

you must prioritize the overall situation

and follow the trend.

You have to obey the leaders' decisions

Then you can survive.

Right?

You have to

listen to me on this.

In front of the leaders,

your opinion

doesn't matter.

As long as you listen to him,

he won't make trouble for you.

Do you really think

my opinion doesn't matter?

No matter what happens,

I must obey.

Obey everything.

Is it wrong to obey the leader?

Besides,

I

just remind you.

I'm not forcing you

to do as I said.

All I know is that,

if you

have a conflict

with your leader at work,

even if it's his fault,

you should know

it takes two

to tango.

At this moment,

you need to reflect

take a deep look at yourself.

What did you do wrong?

And find a time to apologize.

Just say sorry.

And that's all.

Dad.

Since I was a kid,

have you ever

been on my side once?

When I was young

and was bullied outside,

you just blamed me first

without figuring out the truth.

Why didn't I figure it out?

Meng.

Stop talking.

Why should I?

Do you hear that?

She says she did nothing wrong.

It's all my fault.

If you did nothing wrong,

why should I apologize

to them?

If we hadn't been on our way to apologize,

would your mother

have been crashed by the car?

Alright.

It's over.

Why do you keep mentioning it?

It's all past.

It's been so many years.

Look at her.

She hasn't improved at all.

You really let me down.

Yes.

I'm disappointed in myself, too.

But it's not because

I think I did something wrong,

but because

I'm more and more like you.

I have become obedient like you,

starting to accept whatever comes

and dare not resist.

You...

Shan.

What are you talking about?

Shan.

Don't call her.

Shan.

Look.

-Shan. -Look at her.

Shan.

Don't call her.

This...

Zhao.

Are you okay?

Nurse! Nurse!

Doctor! Doctor!

Help!

Ms. Deng,

I really don't understand

why you insist on paying for it

at this juncture.

I

am a newcomer in this industry.

I need to explore

channels by myself.

Lijia United has a cluster of regular customs.

Even if the price is a bit high,

it's also a way to save cost.

Am I right,

senior?

You're right.

But to be honest,

there are many

competitors

who offer the same price

as you do.

Mr. Shen.

We are in the same circle.

Do you think I don't know

if there are competitors?

I'm getting in touch with two other companies.

We're halfway through.

It's internet capital.

You don't believe me?

You can investigate if you don't believe me.

It's true.

Shen.

We've known each other

for so long.

You never asked me out.

You know Qianyu and I

always compete with each other.

It's between you women.

I...

I really don't understand.

In the end,

what we women compare

is all about husbands.

In this aspect,

no one

can win Qianyu.

Come on.

I'm flattered.

So,

I decided that after acquiring Lijia,

I'll leave 5% of the shares

to Chengfeng Group.

I really want to feel

what it's like

to work with Mr. Shen.

How about this?

I'll give you the final offer today.

Based on

the original contract,

I'll only add 20 percent.

Mr. Shen.

To be honest,

this is the best chance

for Lijia to make a move.

Think about it.

Eat the fish while it's warm.

Ms. Zhong.

The dishes you've cooked

are not satisfactory.

The one with sausage

is tasteless.

I'll get you some vinegar.

And the shrimp.

Can't you cook it in another way?

Give me a bowl of soup.

Ms. Zhong, give him some soup.

Okay.

I'm done.

I have something to do at Lijia United.

Mr. Shen, your soup.

What time is it?

What could happen

in the cosmetic medical center?

Fine.

You are hiding from me, right?

I'll see

how long you can hide.

[Mr. Perfect Meeting Room]

Okay.

Next, the live stream is about to start.

Five, four,

three, two, one.

Everyone present

and online

who is watching

our live stream,

good evening.

Welcome to today's

Mr. Perfect Meeting Room.

I'm your old friend,

Brother Bug.

Okay, here we go.

I can feel your passion.

Today,

we've invited

an unexpected guest.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Xia Ling.

It's my honor to

attend Mr. Perfect's live stream.

Okay.

Good.

Do you remember

Ms. Xia once

criticized

in her article

that Mr. Perfect

had low aesthetic taste?

It was

a long time ago.

I didn't expect Mr. Perfect

to hold a grudge.

No, no.

Here's the thing, Ms. Xia.

Taking this opportunity,

we want to know

why

you would like to come to our interview

with low taste.

I also want to take this opportunity

to resolve the misunderstanding

that some males have about me.

Okay.

But I have to ask

some questions

about you.

That is, the dispute between you

and a cosmetic medical institution.

I want to take this opportunity

to clarify myself.

To promote

its service,

this cosmetic medical center

edited and doctored

the content of the video

without

informing me.

In the next few days,

the editor of this video

stood up

as a witness

and proved my innocence.

Ms. Xia,

you went to this medical center

for...

Just having

a skincare treatment.

Okay.

I know

what you're expecting.

Now,

let's enter

the Q&A session.

Let's begin.

OK.

Many in the audience

have raised their hands.

Please.

Yes, it's you.

Hello, Ms. Xia.

We all know

you are

much older than your husband.

Have you ever

tried some ways

to look as young as him?

I think your idea

is very ridiculous.

Do you think I still need

to please others now?

I want to tell

all female friends

that no matter what you do,

don't do it for others,

but for your own health

and happiness.

This is also

what I think about.

Thank you.

Ms. Xia.

The netizens are saying

that you are an artist.

You urged all women

not to be a man's accessory.

But look at you.

Your husband cheated on you,

but you didn't fall out with him.

If the same thing happened

to other women,

it would be called "to compromise

and to lose themselves".

But for you, it's the impulsion of love.

To put it nicely,

you're just making excuses.

To put it bluntly,

she is hypocritical.

Am I right?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please don't slander

about my family.

Do I slander?

This is what the news said.

Someone took photos.

Must what you saw

be the truth?

Everything you're saying now

is not true.

You won't admit it

if it's detrimental to you.

Because it's not true.

Why should I admit it?

Do you dare to admit

you had postpartum therapy?

Right?

Yes, tell us.

Tell us! Explain it!

Explain it!

Explain it!

Explain it!

Explain it!

Yes.

Yes.

I did.

So what?

It's none of your business.

Ms. Xia.

Ms. Xia Ling, you can't leave now.

No, Xia...

I don't think Ms. Xia

would come back.

So today's live stream

is over.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How is it?

Hurry up.

Don't block the camera.

The viewer of today's live stream hit a record high.

She just left without looking back.

Yes.

How is my performance today?

I mislead public opinion successfully, don't I?

Okay.

She just left and did not come back.

Okay.

Sir,

do you know what postpartum therapy is?

Do you know

what it is for?

Do you know what its goal is?

Do you know all of these?

And you, sir.

The project you just mentioned

is postpartum therapy,

right?

Do you know it?

You are...

You three men

are so aggressive

to ask Ms. Xia

about this project.

But you don't even know

its purpose and effect.

Then how can you say

that this project

is designed to please men?

For what?

How?

Everyone,

this treatment

is called postpartum repair treatment.

It cures

postpartum dysfunction.

Simply put,

it is the structural degradation

of the pelvic floor muscle,

or the organ displacement

in the pelvis

due to damage or relaxation

which leads to the lack of support.

We're not doctors.

How can we know so much?

The biggest reason

for the damage of the pelvic floor muscle

is impaired delivery.

The typical symptom

is urinary stress incontinence,

also known as uroclepsia.

Women with such an illness

will have urinary incontinence

when they laugh, cough, jump,

or even when they walk fast or bend their waist.

So if a woman

has such a condition,

she will suffer a lot of trouble

not only physically,

but also mentally.

And she may even have social phobia.

Then I have a question.

Ladies

who are married and have children,

please raise your hand.

Thank you.

I want to ask

one more question.

Would anyone raise your hand bravely

if you have ever suffered

what I said just know?

Almost half of

the women who have children.

Sir.

Are you her husband?

Yes.

Do you know your wife

has such a disease?

So after you know

what she has gone through

to give birth to

your child,

will you understand and encourage her

to receive medical treatment

or will you laugh at her?

As a professional,

I think I have the obligation

to raise public awareness.

But I think

Ms. Xia

has more

to communicate with you.

Do you want Ms. Xia

to come back to the stage?

Yes. Yes.

Please come back, Ms. Xia.

Ms. Xia Ling.

I want to say something to her.

I'm

a full-time housewife.

And I am also a patient

suffering uroclepsia.

Actually,

many women

have the same problem as I do,

but we dare not say it.

So I admire you.

You are brave to speak it out.

I remember

you were very carefree

and successful.

You set a good example for us.

But today,

seeing how you've been treated,

I really feel sorry for you.

I suddenly realize

it's not easy

to be a successful woman.

People think that an able woman

should be invincible

and should not expose her weaknesses.

But

we all have our own weaknesses.

Thank you.

Ms. Xia,

you just said on the stage

that you want women to consider themselves

and make themselves healthy and happy

no matter what they do.

Many women

have raised their hands.

They may share

the same experience as you.

They hope

you can come back to the stage

and share the women's weakness

and strength together.

Will you come back?

Ms. Xia! Ms. Xia!

Be brave.

Women nowadays

are really living a hard life.

On one hand,

they accept modern ideas

and decide to live independently.

But also, they receive traditional education,

which brainwashes them that a woman

should manage a family well.

Without work,

they cannot be economically independent.

If they don't care about the family,

they will be considered

as selfish.

It is like

a car

driving in

a dead end.

It stands in the middle of nowhere.

So, "living as I like"

has become

a hopeless slogan.

If we can't

change the fact that others

will define, judge, and stare at us,

at least we need to learn

how to block

the noise outside.

Turn on the radio in your heart

and turn up the volume.

It will tell you

where you really want to go.

Great!

Ziyou.

Thank you, honey.

Why are you thanking me?

Thank the brave yourself.

Without your encouragement,

I wouldn't have

such courage.

Now I think

you and me working together

is the best choice.

Xia Ling,

I was about to

talk to you about this.

I think

I'm not suitable

for this job.

Why?

Is it because

my attitude just now?

You knew the situation.

If you're angry,

I can apologize to you.

Of course not.

Of course not.

In fact,

what you said on the stage

really touched me.

You said

people needed to turn on

the radio in their hearts

to know where they really wanted to go.

I want to go back to my former profession.

I like cosmetic medicine.

I can't give up

what I really want to do

just because of

the setbacks.

But don't worry, Xia Ling.

I'll follow up

this live stream

until you find the right person.

Ziyou,

since you've

made up your mind,

well,

I sincerely wish you the best.

If you need anything

in the future,

just call me.

Hello?

Stop calling me.

Aren't you dialing the wrong number?

Why would I do an interview?

It's still early. So annoying.

Stop it!

Mom.

I'm going to school.

Let me give you a ride today.

I have nothing to do anyway.

Wait for me.

Wait a minute.

Right away.

Are you wearing this?

So what?

Don't you dress up?

I'll drive back

after sending you to school.

I'm not seeing anyone else.

Okay, let's go.

Let's go.

Mrs. Yu.

Thank you.

I didn't prepare for that.

This afternoon?

My arrangement? I have no idea about that.

Yes.

Well...

Hurry up.

What happened?

What's going on?

Ms. Kang.

You're famous.

What's the point?

I don't want to be famous.

You can monetarize your popularity.

I want to experience

the feeling of living in affluence.

In your dreams.

I also want to live an affluent life and be idle.

Please be ambitious.
