She and Her Perfect Husband Episode 39 Recap
> She and Her Perfect Husband Recap
Yao Yao was ready to withdraw the lawsuit. Tang Yihui suspected that Qin Shi might be behind it, as recently someone at Tianhang had been privately collecting evidence of Yin Zhiqiang sexually harassing employees. When Li Dai learned that Yao Yao was withdrawing the lawsuit, she called to question Qin Shi, who reminded her that it might be more effective to go after Yin Zhiqiang from the angle of sexual harassment.
Faced with Tang Yihui, Qin Shi stated that Yao Yao’s intent to sue Yin Zhiqiang was a civil case, which had nothing to do with Cheng & Hui. However, the meeting between Qin Shi and Li Dai led Yin Zhiqiang to misunderstand the situation, and he refused to sign a legal contract with Cheng & Hui. As a result, Tang Yihui hoped Qin Shi would step in and persuade Yao Yao to withdraw the lawsuit.
Qin Shi said she couldn’t do that. Yin Zhiqiang had sexually harassed many women over the years, and if securing a contract meant siding with someone like him, then the contract wasn’t worth having. What Qin Shi had always liked about Cheng & Hui was that the firm never put profit first, and she wasn’t about to abandon her professional ethics. In the end, Qin Shi chose not to compromise and decided to leave the law firm.
Tao Junhui saw her off and learned that she was taking on Yao Yao’s case against Yin Zhiqiang. He believed she was bound to lose because the burden of proof was too difficult. Tao Junhui felt Qin Shi’s resignation was impulsive and overly stubborn, and she hadn’t thought through her next steps. He wanted to fight for her. Just as Qin Shi left the firm, she ran into her old mentor.
She felt sorry for disappointing her, but her mentor didn’t see it that way. After leaving the firm, she realized that fairness in society isn’t up to one person. As long as someone thinks it's meaningful and acts on it, that alone is great progress. What’s hard for people is holding on to what they believe is right. Even in failure, Qin Shi’s stand was honorable. Qin Shi met with Li Dai and Yao Yao.
She told Li Dai that from today, she would be leading the case since she had resigned from Cheng & Hui. However, since Yin Zhiqiang already knew their plan, gathering evidence would now be more difficult. Even so, the three women decided to proceed with the lawsuit together to take down Yin Zhiqiang, that scumbag. Qin Shi eventually started her own firm. When Tao Junhui found out, he came to visit her and said he had already persuaded Mr.
Jin to speak up for her. After eating something that triggered an allergic reaction, Qin Shi was helped by Tao Junhui, who went to the car to get her allergy meds and accidentally discovered her divorce certificate. He proposed to Qin Shi right away, but she said that marriage wasn’t a must in life, and she wasn’t ready for it. She couldn’t lie to herself or to him.
Qin Shi said she wouldn’t give up on Yao Yao’s case and urged Tao Junhui not to give up on Wu Fei either, as Wu Fei was more suited to him than she was. Yang Hua agreed to Hu Ping’s request to become his personal financial advisor but decided to postpone starting by a week in order to deal with Yin Zhiqiang.
Cai Liang couldn’t understand Yang Hua’s choices—he didn’t like Yao Yao but still helped her; he liked Qin Shi but set her free. Yang Hua explained that Qin Shi actually wanted marriage but was terrified of it. She feared failure and didn’t believe she could be happy. The best way to avoid failure was to reject marriage altogether, which is why she kept resisting it.
Yang Hua asked Gang Zi to investigate the project Yin Zhiqiang was overseeing and reported the issues to their group. Yin Zhiqiang was soon going to face the consequences. Female employees who used to fear Yin Zhiqiang’s influence were now willing to step up and testify. From Gang Zi, Qin Shi learned that it was Yang Hua who had arranged the investigation, and she couldn’t help but feel jealous that Yang Hua was helping his ex.
Qin Shi and her team found out that over the years, about forty women had been sexually harassed by Yin Zhiqiang, but only a bit over twenty were willing to testify, and just eleven were willing to jointly prosecute. Gang Zi thought that wasn’t nearly enough. Assistant lawyer Haitao wanted to email a video he had secretly recorded at a KTV where Yin Zhiqiang was harassing a female employee.
Tao Junhui accidentally discovered this and warned that if the email was sent and the law firm found out, Haitao could lose his license. Hearing Haitao say he didn’t want his own sister to one day be bullied like that and not even dare report it, Tao Junhui decided to make the decision for him.
