Lady Liberty Episode 26

Changes and contracts

Mei and the Mrs have their meeting and the Mrs is handing leftovers to Mei. Whether it’s to save face or reality doesn’t really matter. I think she just wanted the satisfaction of seeing Mei’s reaction to her gift. Mei will neither embrace nor cut ties with Bei. Lin had this right, her dating preferences are a direct reflection of her relationship with her mother. Where Cai brought up the argument that her mother couldn’t tell her who to date, Lin brought up dating to spite her wasn’t necessary either. The assistant lawyer was visiting to review GuYan’s contract and be ready for countering if he opted to break or leave company. With firm denials, Gu Yan is safe for now. Fan is getting directly involved and showing Gu Yan the dream team of mentors while encouraging him to sign with Zhao. It is assured he will be treated better, but not clear if this change would really be in his best interest long term. Mei’s wannabe bf has overstepped his hand and is now on the s list. He should have never made such a comment about her mom because he saw her in action and knows what a self righteous tyrant she is. That was unforgivable for one wanting to gain Mei’s affection. Lin and Gu Yan’s argument was rather forced. She knew something was up when the two friends ran into her married. She has a point but she never really had him go with a story of his choosing. Whether the phantom knight book or the one with her they were both following up other authors. Neither story was his in spite of his feelings on the matter. He should never have expected her to hunt him down if he left, but her easy refusal that she wouldn’t will give him the gumption to make different choices just to spite her. Leaving won’t be the worst thing for him as it might help curb his creepy obsession with her. He still wants to be HeHan 2.0 but his ties with her are diminishing. I would like Dai to handle him. She would cut through the crap and point him in the right direction. Her comments to HeHan are interesting. She wants him out while the online platforms reshuffle. She pays better attention than her arrogant ex who doesn’t bother noticing the little guy. But, if the little guys team up, they are no longer little. Fan is set in his ways and sees money as the end all of negotiations. This is what will trip him up when things start pivoting. Lin meets with He Han about selling the rights of his book to a game. He really doesn’t give a free flying about it and tells her to do whatever she wants and close the door on her way out. She thinks He Han is in a bad place. I don’t agree. For the first time in decades he is sober by choice. His busy brain is getting slice of life scenarios and he’s getting paid to get them. He is dressed nicer and more manicured than he’s bothered to be for decades as well. I would like to see him venture in children’s stories with the boy in his building. That would be a nice change of pace—to really be the king of stories rather than the pinnacle of an industry that could really care less for him as a person. Lin rejected Kun’s offer which almost succeeded in shutting him up. He asked for info from staff to hire when her company folded. Cai and one other are loyal, but it’s sure that the mole is leaving. No big loss since she was hurting as much as helping anyways. 😝 This episode sees everybody heading for change and still to be determined if that is a good or bad thing.
