The Lius have already spread the word,
so now, no company in this field wants to hire her.
A top student from a top university,
she's got the smarts and talent to earn big money.
Now she can only wait tables here.
You're telling me this
to make me feel guilty?
I'm trying to tell you,
we're not going to settle
and I need to look out for my client.
I'm not here to discuss a settlement.
I'm only representing myself right now
to discuss cooperation.
Cooperation?
I want the same thing as you.
Let's take Deng Fanyu down.
I'm already in a position to win.
I don't need to work with you.
If that's what you really thought,
you wouldn't be here.
You don't have a full hand,
and you're uncertain.
That's why you agreed to come.
The way you're speaking tells me
you have no plan.
Ridiculous.
You think Sun Xiaohua's situation will win sympathy,
and that it'll carry you through this case?
Do you think you can win
without hard evidence?
So,
Miss Gu,
I advise you to think about it carefully.
Swallow your pride.
Alright.
You've convinced me that you're sincere.
How will this work?
Here's what I'm thinking.
Remember to send it.
You saw Xingran meet the defendant's lawyer in private?
They're not working together, are they?
Xingran left this morning
to deal with this case.
Which means she takes this seriously.
Perhaps... she was just doing personal research.
It makes sense.
Don't you feel you've changed?
You never let your feelings get in the way.
Business was always business.
But now, you're speaking up for Lin Xingran
in order to protect her.
You always told me
to take care of your team,
and trust them.
No matter who it is,
that's what I do.
You!
I'm meeting Deng Fanyu again today,
so I'll be late getting home.
This is evidence they've collected.
It's all just suggestive messages
you sent to Miss Sun.
What does it matter?
Will this make me
guilty of sexual harassment?
I saw there's also security footage
on their inventory of evidence.
Security footage?
What kind of footage?
We've already secured all the footage.
How could she have gotten that?
What if it's not from your company?
What do you mean?
Is your company the only place
you've harassed her?
Was there anywhere else?
Maybe someplace like a...
karaoke bar?
Or maybe an elevator?
Maybe a swimming pool?
Outdoors?
The roof?
A dressing room?
If they really have footage,
then I'm done for.
Don't worry too much.
I'll do all I can so that we can win this case.
But...
But what?
Don't tell me you're thinking of walking away.
No.
Listen, someone told me
you're working with the opposition's lawyer.
You're not even on my side!
Mr. Deng.
You are...?
It doesn't matter.
I mean no harm.
Listen to this.
How can I lose the case
without making it obvious?
Deng Fanyu, that jerk,
will be punished.
While Cheng Tian should be able to
take over the legal affairs of his company.
How did you get this?
It doesn't matter.
What matters is
Lin Xingran betrayed you.
She's such a two-faced bitch.
I knew I couldn't trust her.
I'll get her for this.
From now on,
be careful with everything she says.
But, don't worry.
I'll keep you in the loop.
Why should I trust you?
Why are you helping me?
Because...
we share a common goal.
I also have a bone to pick
with Lin Xingran.
What are you talking about?!
If I lose this case,
how does that benefit me?
Think about it.
Please sit.
I think there's someone
trying to turn us against each other.
Whoever gave that to you
is probably working for the opposition,
hoping to confuse you.
To be honest,
this case here
is not a guaranteed win for us.
Because you're still holding back from me.
If I can't fully prepare,
when we get in the courtroom
we'll have a weak position.
I've never met a woman this stubborn!
Everyone's different.
There are things you just can't force.
Most of the women I meet
know how they should behave.
I threw them some bait,
and they threw themselves at me,
one by one.
At the trial,
these will be presented as evidence.
You should cede some ground.
Admit to making advances.
Then these texts will be seen as you courting her.
Are you asking me to plead guilty?
Of course not.
This is how these things are decided.
The judge makes a judgment based on evidence.
These texts are not explicit.
So if you admit that you had romantic intentions,
it's easier to get them dismissed
as evidence of sexual harassment.
Which will render their evidence
null and void.
Don't play games with me.
This is your best play now.
Fine.
Seeing as that we're both on the same side here,
the rest of this
is up to you to handle now.
Let go.
Let go of my hand.
Let go!
It's okay. It's okay.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Well uh,
since your brother's here,
we'll talk next time.
Talk to you later.
You should let me teach him a lesson.
And you.
Why did you turn your phone off?
I didn't.
Check it.
I didn't.
Just check it.
I put it in airplane mode while I was recording.
I didn't turn it off.
Don't do this again.
I was worried.
Look, you can't be with me 24/7.
You know what they say.
Rather than giving a man fish,
teach him to fish.
