Lady Liberty Episode 17

Truth and dare

Ms Lin deserves to lose her young prodigy Gu Yan. She dumped him at the door of the award ceremony that should have been the first of many huge milestones for an author. Not only did she ignore him, she let He Han usurp the awards and make it look like he was giving the rookie the award from his benevolence. Then the top editor and second best writer talked about smashing Gu Yan’s award to match THEIR history rather than celebrating HIS success. After not spending even a moment to check on him, she has his award delivered to him expecting an update to be timely. Too bad for her she did not think her real company asset deserved even a minute of her real life time. He is being courted by her ‘friends’ because she was too busy being fake courted by her fake bf. Gu Yan’s obsession with her is beyond creepy and I don’t blame her for keeping distant. But the way she handled that award ceremony was awful. She knew he was basically a game hermit that had two whole friends in the world and would be uncomfortable. I have no idea why she did not think it her responsibility to keep tabs on him. Apologies this is my rant from 2 previous episodes because if I had started this then, I would still be yapping about it on those pages and never had time for today’s. This episode has perky assistant’s dad interested in pursuing Ms Lin. The girl has money and needs to move out. They make her ask stupid obvious questions trying to appear more naive than she is. Her attempts to fit in with the older ladies is annoying. We have He Han’s past, present and wannabe future girls all in the same room. It doesn’t work for me. She keeps the grownups from talking and they have to act like college girls sending txts back and forth to keep nosy roomie out of earshot. Ms Zhao has taken on the care of Mr Ling’s gma. He did not want to be another zip lock bag collection for her, but when he heard only half the details of handling his gma’s finances he was more than happy to give it all back to her. She has managed to get Gu Yan out of the area and I find myself wishing her success. He is a true talent and Lin did not value him. Zhao can relate to this because this is the story of her life. For now, he has done his best to trash his keyboard and saying he’s done writing. He has issues because he expected his story to be like He Han’s where Lin was concerned. He truly believed she would fall in love with him and they would become the perfect writer and editor leaving old He Han in the dust. He was beyond crushed that this didn’t happen but I am sure his gf is relieved. The only thing beneficial about the fake dinner is that they uncovered one mole and He Han got the truth about his dad. Regardless of outcome, that is something he should know and have time to consider. Young lawyer has a lot more game than expected. His proposal fell flat but he went toe to toe with the boss and held his own. If he pulls this off, he might actually get Zhou Mei’s attention. Lin is trying to make up for lost time and get as much of GuYan’s future pages as possible. A couple minutes of her real time invested would have saved her from the calamity she’s dealing with now. An ounce of prevention and all that …. Zhao is damn smart. She gives him a quest he wants and goes for investing in the Internet cafe rather than his writing. She is getting his attention and respecting what he wants. Something Lin never bothered to do. Kudos to her.👏🏻 omg I need earplugs for the whine fest at He Han’s place. He now knows but his arrogant ass is a huge part of the problem. They could have given her half those whiney lines and got the point across. Fan wants out of the deal and I don’t blame him. He wants his dream team back together and sees this as the means. No sympathy for Lin. She wanted to pride herself on creating excellence, and she does. But she did not believe in it enough to give it the attention needed. She always had to have a backup plan. And when that failed she resigned herself to recreate her old circumstances. So now that it’s bitten her in the ass she has no more parachutes left. He Han sends the girl out to buy snacks and tells her the equivalent of the sun will come up tomorrow.😝🙄 He is right that he needs to get his writing squared away and stay out of Lin’s business. He gets a drink like dear old dad and starts typing. The editors are all cursing GuYan, but if they would have seen her ‘effort’ at the award ceremony, I think they would have had more sympathy. They have no idea how hollow and empty she made him and that award feel. With this, I think Ms Zhao is the one that gets what happened the best. This is why she steps in with all the right things to urge him back to the writing table. She still only has a 50/50 shot, but that’s 50 percent more than Lin has. Looks like the great savior He Han is coming through with a chapter. Zhao had one thing right. This story was never Gu Yan’s. Waiting to see if these two finish their unfinished story. Zhou Mei meets with her new bf and learns he is more of a man than the man she admires. The way things look Bei had her company ready to discredit her at a time of his choosing. Now she has a young knight fighting for her. That small peck on his cheek was a huge declaration from Zhou Mei. He has reached a whole new tier in her estimation. He Han did a good thing with the chapter, but he owed her that after demoralizing the new kid on the block. They both reminisce about the good ol’ days and he is falling asleep typing the pages he should have been writing. This story keeps me interested, but all the characters are gray except whiney girl. She and Mimi should ride off in the sunset and make their own stories. 😝
