summary of the story

Instigated by her best friend, she pretended to be the daughter of a professor and held a party. She met a TV photographer, and her best friend also met a famous athlete.
Then the best friend is getting married, but she herself is pregnant, and the other party doesn't want to take responsibility. She was not admitted to university to be a worker in a factory, but she was able to repair machines by herself, so she attracted attention, and the TV station came to interview her, so there was an embarrassing scene for the first time: the photographer of the TV station was her boyfriend. Her identity could no longer be concealed.
The photographer's mother had been very attentive to her before, and when she learned that she was not the professor's daughter, she was in a hurry to distance herself from her. She rejected the other party's compensation fee and was determined to raise the child by herself.
Years later, she became the factory manager through her own efforts. The best friend's husband is no longer the high-spirited athlete, but a drug addict.
By chance, she met a man on the train, a senior engineer, and slowly started dating. She discovers that she may be in true love.
The photographer later saw her on TV and came to her. She was heartless and wouldn't let him see her daughter. She said she wanted to thank him for being unrelenting. This looks like the perfect revenge.
But she didn't confess to the engineer either: she didn't tell him that she was the factory manager and earned more than he did. After the engineer found out, he felt that his self-esteem was hurt and he could not continue, so he left. And after this romantic relationship, she didn't even know the engineer's real name or where he lived!
All her friends came over to find a way for her. And her best friend suddenly cried, not because her friend screwed up a relationship, but because she envied her friend who could meet such true love at the age of forty.
Then she fell back into despair. Fortunately, a friend found the engineer based on her description, and he was drinking vodka by himself. (It can be found...) And
then the ending is perfect.

--------
I tried to retell the story myself.
I saw this movie on Gao Xiaosong's Weibo.
The plot is simple, yet dramatic. But some parts are still very real, very touching.
At the party that gave rise to all the follow-ups, both young girls felt forty was unthinkable. But she didn't meet her true love until she was forty years old.
It's never too late.
