The sun slowly rises, and a new day begins. On the bustling streets of Beijing, the capital city, cars and people rush by, hurrying to their respective workplaces for their ideals.

Today marks the grand opening of Fragrant City Garden. The flagship unit is a 208-square-meter low-density villa. Despite this, it can't deter the enthusiasm of those coming to view the houses. The sales office is lively and bustling, with a constant stream of customers. New intern Tian Rong hasn't found her target customer yet, so she calls her close friend Li Mujia to come along. Mujia's boyfriend, Ding Zhitan, rides a bike to drop her off at the sales office. Tian Rong rushes out to welcome them, asking Mujia to pretend to be a serious buyer. The manager can tell at a glance that Mujia is posing, but doesn't expose them and keeps a close eye on Tian Rong and Mujia's every move.

Tian Rong and Li Mujia are dormitory best friends, both studying law at an ordinary university in Beijing. Li Mujia has been rejected from job applications everywhere. Tian Rong takes Li Mujia aside and earnestly introduces the property and amenities to her, instructing her to be prepared to make a quick escape if they get caught. Tian Rong is diligent in her work and skilled in her business, but only a few people come to consult her. Li Mujia encourages her not to be discouraged. Tian Rong can't help but pour out her grievances to her. Her parents arranged a job in a stable career back in their hometown in Shanxi, but she stayed in Beijing for her boyfriend Fan Huapeng. Fan Huapeng graduated and found a job at a prestigious law firm in Beijing. Tian Rong is deeply committed to him. Wu Jianqiu, a senior lawyer at the law firm, visits Fragrant City Garden with her son. The scheduled salesperson, Xiao Fang, couldn't make it due to stomach issues, so Li Mujia asks Tian Rong to introduce the property to Wu Jianqiu. Tian Rong hurries to get the information on the property that Wu Jianqiu is interested in. Wu Jianqiu accidentally sees her husband, Lao Wang, with another woman at the property. They seem to be having a good time. Wu Jianqiu calmly calls Lao Wang, who gets panicked. The woman wants to confront Wu Jianqiu, claiming that their marriage is beyond repair. Lao Wang holds onto the woman tightly.

Wu Jianqiu doesn't want to cause a scene in public and decides to leave with her son as soon as possible. Tian Rong brings the property information, but Wu Jianqiu is too hurried to look at it. She asks Tian Rong to reserve the unit 508 for her. Li Mujia and Tian Rong help Wu Jianqiu and her son leave through the back door. Wu Jianqiu expresses her gratitude and promises to transfer the deposit soon. Li Mujia watches Wu Jianqiu and her son walk away, triggering memories of her father leaving her and her mother behind years ago. She's filled with mixed emotions.

Ding Zhitan wants to buy a house in Beijing but is discouraged by the high prices, so he ends up renting. His parents come to Beijing every week to help him clean, do laundry, and cook. Ding Zhitan brings Li Mujia home for dinner, and when his mother learns that Mujia doesn't have a job yet, she wants to ask his third sister in Beijing for help. The third sister calls and offers to introduce a wealthy and beautiful Beijing girl to Ding Zhitan. Li Mujia overhears the conversation and feels ashamed, using the excuse of getting food to hide in the kitchen.

Ding Zhitan follows Li Mujia to the kitchen and expresses his determination to marry her, but she comforts him and tells him not to take it seriously. After dinner, Ding Zhitan walks Li Mujia home and confronts his mother about their relationship. He reveals that they've been dating since their freshman year and that even his aunt knows about it. His parents get angry and scold him, but he remains steadfast. The manager openly questions Tian Rong's only target customer during the morning meeting. If the customer doesn't sign a contract to buy a house, she'll be fired. Tian Rong confides in Fan Huapeng, who advises her and mentions a job opening for an administrative assistant at Jin Da Law Firm. He encourages her to apply, but Tian Rong is worried that her education and experience might not be enough and considers a warehouse job instead. Fan Huapeng tells her not to give up on herself.

Tian Rong suggests that Li Mujia also apply to Jin Da Law Firm. Li Mujia finds out that the administrative assistant role has no restrictions regarding the school as long as it's a full-time undergraduate degree. She submits her resume right away. The school notifies them to move out of the dormitory soon. Tian Rong and Li Mujia silently vow to find jobs soon.

Tian Rong and Li Mujia receive interview invitations. They dress up and head to Jin Da Law Firm. Many people are here for interviews, and Tian Rong feels inadequate. She's about to back out when Li Mujia encourages her. By chance, Fan Huapeng passes by. He ignores Tian Rong, and she tries to explain herself.

Wu Jianqiu is in negotiations with Dawn Group for a business collaboration. The negotiation hits a deadlock due to fee issues. Dawn Group's CEO, Li Guang, arrives and suggests having coffee to ease the tension. Wu Jianqiu offers to make hand-brewed coffee for them, sending an assistant to buy coffee from downstairs. She calls Ding Zhitan to confirm that Li Guang hasn't contacted any other law firm. She's determined not to lower the fees.

Tian Rong enters for her interview but gets nervous and stammers, leading to a quick rejection. She's left sweating and rushes to the restroom. Li Mujia meets Wu Jianqiu in the hallway and learns about the administrative assistant position. She's determined not to miss this opportunity and passionately recommends herself. Wu Jianqiu makes it clear that they don't hire candidates from non-prestigious schools, which doesn't match Li Mujia's qualifications. Li Guang tastes the coffee and realizes it's from a café, but he doesn't expose her. He suddenly receives a phone call and leaves with his team.

Li Mujia and Wu Jianqiu share an elevator ride with Li Guang and his team. Li Guang sees a coffee delivery person downstairs and casually mentions that Wu Jianqiu got coffee from there. Li Mujia immediately informs Wu Jianqiu, proposing to intern with her team. The internship is for one month. After much consideration, Wu Jianqiu reluctantly agrees.

Ding Zhitan came to Jin Da Law Firm to pick up Li Mujia, and he happened to run into Fan Huapeng as he was leaving work. Fan Huapeng firmly believes that Li Mujia got into Jin Da Law Firm through connections, bypassing regular procedures. Ding Zhitan tries to defend Li Mujia, but Fan Huapeng remains skeptical.

Ding Zhitan accompanies Li Mujia to buy new clothes and prepares a guide for new employees. He wants to buy her a pair of shoes, but she politely declines, making an excuse about wearing old shoes. Fan Huapeng helps Tian Rong learn from her failed interview, revises her resume, and discusses how Li Mujia entered Jin Da Law Firm through connections. Tian Rong explains how they helped Wu Jianqiu and Li Mujia resolve a situation, but Fan Huapeng scolds her for missing the opportunity to be close to Wu Jianqiu and says many negative things about Li Mujia.

Tian Rong hasn't been able to make a sale and anticipates being fired. She plans to return home and ask her father for money to come back to Beijing and find work. Li Mujia encourages her, and they promise to be lifelong friends. The next morning, Li Mujia arrives at the law firm energetically, following Ding Zhitan's guide and greeting her colleagues. She realizes that the new colleagues not only hold accounting certificates but also speak multiple languages fluently, which makes her feel inferior.

Wu Jianqiu briefly explains the assistant's job requirements to Li Mujia. She instructs her to give gifts according to the client list and familiarize herself with recent cases. The team members believe Li Mujia got in through connections, and they point fingers at her. Xiao Fei assigns Li Mujia a pile of tasks, and she remembers them all. As expected, the manager fires Tian Rong first. She calls Fan Huapeng to complain, but he doesn't comfort her and instead scolds her.

Li Mujia is extremely busy and doesn't even have time for lunch. Fan Huapeng tries to get close to her and reveals the strong backgrounds of Wu Jianqiu's team members. Tian Rong rents a place and invites Li Mujia to live with her. Li Mujia works tirelessly, always helping her colleagues, and gains their trust gradually. Wu Jianqiu notices this and calls Li Mujia into her office, advising her to become an irreplaceable good lawyer rather than focusing on trivial tasks.

Wu Jianqiu admits that she's in the process of divorcing her husband, Lao Wang. She asks Li Mujia to prove Lao Wang's affair, but Li Mujia points out that what they saw at the sales office isn't enough evidence. Colleagues go to a fast-food restaurant for lunch every day, but Li Mujia finds it expensive and eats noodles at a nearby food stall instead. Ding Zhitan reminds her to build good relationships with her colleagues, but Li Mujia keeps her concerns to herself.

Tian Rong gets a job at Kangyin Life Insurance Company as a telemarketer. She's told to make seventy sales calls every day, but she faces rude responses from clients. She starts calling her relatives and friends, but they all reject her. Since Li Mujia's conversation with Wu Jianqiu, she's been declining miscellaneous tasks assigned by colleagues and focusing on mastering her work. Wu Jianqiu praises her highly.

Li Mujia's busy schedule leaves her with no time to see Ding Zhitan. He's anxious and calls her for a weekend date, but she's overwhelmed with work and declines.

Wu Jianqiu received a large order from Northern Land Development, requiring the completion of an internal audit within 186 days. This task involves assessing existing assets, liabilities, and ensuring a balance between creditors and investors' interests. Due to the tight timeline and heavy workload, Wu Jianqiu recruits and assembles a project team, canceling all leaves. Anyone on sick leave for more than three days will be automatically eliminated.

Li Mujia took the contract from Northern Land Development to the Finance Department to get Director Fang's signature. Fang, however, gave various excuses and deferred the matter. Li Mujia even brought fruit for Director Fang, but she was forcibly driven out. Wu Jianqiu had to personally visit Director Fang, who signed the contract on the spot but criticized Li Mujia for being irresponsible at work. Wu Jianqiu saw that Director Fang was intentionally making things difficult for Li Mujia and encouraged her to become stronger quickly.

Li Mujia's parents sold their old house in Tianjin and asked Ding Zhitan to buy a house in Beijing. When Ding Zhitan hadn't seen Li Mujia for a long time, her mother quickly made dumplings and asked Ding Zhitan to deliver them. Ding Zhitan called Li Mujia to discuss the house purchase, but she was on the subway heading to deliver a contract for Northern Land Development to Zhao Zong. Before she could say much, she received a call from Xiao Fei, who asked her to book two tickets to Chongqing. Ding Zhitan was furious, but Li Mujia didn't even have time to answer his call, let alone meet him.

Li Mujia arrived at Gongwang Palace after a series of transfers. It's a private club, and her phone suddenly malfunctioned. The doorman kept her outside. Li Guang happened to be arriving for an event at the club. Li Mujia asked him to help her get in, and he agreed to pass the message. She gave him twenty yuan to buy coffee and amused him. Ding Zhitan stayed up all night to make dumplings for Li Mujia, and his parents noticed he was preoccupied.

Fan Huapeng stayed up late organizing documents, and Tian Rong helped him iron his clothes and cooked him a bowl of noodles. When Fan Huapeng learned that Tian Rong had only made one sale and was facing unemployment, he couldn't help but complain, comparing her to Li Mujia. Li Mujia hurriedly returned home and continued her unfinished work. Fan Huapeng casually mentioned Wu Jianqiu's divorce, claiming that Wu Jianqiu's husband refused to divorce due to their multi-million-dollar mansion. Li Mujia quickly interrupted him, telling him not to gossip behind her back. Fan Huapeng pointed fingers at Tian Rong, which Li Mujia disliked. She asked Tian Rong to cook noodles for her and when Fan Huapeng left in response, Tian Rong followed him. Li Mujia tried to stop them, but even Ding Zhitan's arrival couldn't change the situation.

Tian Rong takes Fan Huapeng back home, and they meet a colleague on the way. The colleague inquires about their relationship, but Fan Huapeng avoids the question and intentionally keeps his distance from Tian Rong. Feeling hurt, Tian Rong suggests she bring lunch to Fan Huapeng at the firm the next day and meet his colleagues. Fan Huapeng desperately tries to make excuses to avoid this.

Ding Zhitan vents his frustrations to Li Mujia, and she promises to have steak with him this weekend and assures him she won't break the promise. Tian Rong returns home in anger, buys beer to drown her sorrows, and Li Mujia had already noticed that Fan Huapeng doesn't truly love Tian Rong; he treats her like a free babysitter. Tian Rong feels distressed, so Li Mujia encourages her to break up with Fan Huapeng. However, Tian Rong is reluctant.

Ding Zhitan wants to use the 500,000 yuan his parents gave him to buy a small house. Colleague Lao Liu made money from stock trading and offered to lend Ding Zhitan some for stock investment. Ding Zhitan calls Li Mujia to discuss this, but she firmly disagrees. After careful consideration, Ding Zhitan decides to lend the money to Lao Liu. Thanks to Wu Jianqiu and the team's persistent efforts, the acquisition by Northern Land Development is successfully completed. The CEO invites Wu Jianqiu's team to a weekend appreciation dinner. Li Mujia wants to go on a date with Ding Zhitan and asks Xiao Fei for help with taking a leave of absence.

Lao Liu makes a significant profit from stock trading and gives Ding Zhitan some money as interest. Ding Zhitan uses it to buy Li Mujia a new phone. They have steak together, and Li Mujia hands Ding Zhitan 50,000 yuan that her mother gave her, planning to use it to buy a house for both their parents to live together.

Suddenly, Wu Jianqiu calls Li Mujia and instructs her to go to Chongqing for a business trip overnight and return to the firm within an hour. Ding Zhitan is quite unhappy about this. In a hurry, Li Mujia returns to the law firm. Wu Jianqiu briefly explains the task for the trip and reminds her to prepare a suitcase in the office, ready for travel at any moment.

Tian Rong received a text message early in the morning from her manager informing her of her dismissal. She didn't want to give up just yet, so she bravely came to the company, hoping the manager would give her another chance. The manager scolded her severely and forcefully drove her away.

Li Mujia rushed to Chongqing overnight and went to meet with Diao Dexing, the general manager of Hailan Real Estate, early in the morning to handle the handover of the property. Li Mujia carefully reviewed the property's documents, confirmed all procedures were complete, and then signed the agreement. She sensed something was off with Diao Dexing and his secretary, so she quickly left after signing the contract. Diao Dexing, unwilling to hand over the property, instigated debt holders and unpaid construction workers to cause trouble. Li Mujia overheard this outside the door and promptly reported it to Wu Jianqiu.

Ding Zhitan took his parents to see a house in the new Yadong community developed by Li Guang Group. His parents pooled together 500,000 yuan, while Li Mujia only contributed 50,000 yuan. Ding Zhitan's mother was displeased and worried that he wouldn't be able to afford the monthly installment if he lost his job. Ding Zhitan reassured his mother, and Li Mujia's mother also contributed her savings to help them. Ding Zhitan wanted Li Mujia to meet his parents today when she returned from Chongqing to finalize the matter of the house.

Tian Rong sought help everywhere but was met with obstacles, leaving her feeling frustrated. Li Mujia returned from Chongqing and went directly to the law firm. Wu Jianqiu was reporting the progress of the acquisition from Northland Estates. Satisfied with the report, the representative from Northland Estates left. Wu Jianqiu was pleased with Li Mujia's trip to Chongqing and urgently had team members work overtime to organize the information.

Li Mujia was late for the family gathering where her parents had prepared a table full of dishes. Her parents were displeased, so Ding Zhitan had to call her. However, the call wouldn't connect, so Ding Zhitan went to the law firm to find her. Li Mujia and her colleagues worked late into the night before heading home. She overheard Wu Jianqiu arguing with her husband about their divorce on the phone and discreetly left.

Tian Rong was awakened in the middle of the night by the landlord, who brought a contract for the tenant Li Lan. Tian Rong realized she had been deceived by Li Lan. She pleaded with the landlord to extend her lease, but he insisted she must move out the day after tomorrow.

Li Mujia carefully reviewed the contract and found a loophole. She called her colleagues back to the office to make revisions overnight. They worked until dawn, and her colleague promised to treat her to dinner today. Ding Zhitan happened to visit the law firm and saw Li Mujia laughing with her colleagues. He felt sour inside, suspecting that Li Mujia had used connections to enter Jin Da Law Firm. Li Mujia took Ding Zhitan into the office and showed him the documents they had worked on, but he still couldn't believe she was so busy.

Li Mujia poured out her frustrations to Ding Zhitan, explaining that she worked hard every day to earn his parents' approval and to buy a house and start a family. Ding Zhitan felt that Li Mujia didn't consider him family and their arguments escalated. They ended up parting ways unhappily.

Li Mujia returned to her rented house feeling dejected, only to find out that she had to move out the day after tomorrow. She took a day off and went to a real estate agency with Tian Rong to search for a new place to live. They couldn't find a suitable place due to their low budget. Just as they were at a loss, they met a landlord at the agency registering a property for rent. The agent quickly took them to see a three-bedroom apartment, which they liked and signed the contract for on the spot. Tian Rong noticed the agency was hiring and decided to apply.

Within 24 hours, Tian Rong and Li Mujia found a new place to live and moved in. Ding Zhitan came to help, apologized to Li Mujia, and asked her to house hunt with him. They reconciled. Tian Rong called Fan Huapeng to celebrate their move, but he declined. Tian Rong left a broken fan outside their old rental place.

Li Mujia learned that Tian Rong got a job at Utuo Family Property Agency and felt sorry for her. They both shared their frustrations and concerns. Tian Rong expressed her determination to become independent in Beijing without relying on her parents' money. Li Mujia comforted her.

Tian Rong came to work in high spirits and was given three client recommendations by the manager. However, she struggled during a property showing due to her unfamiliarity with the area. One of the clients signed a contract with the landlord without her. The manager scolded her, and she left in tears.

Fan Huapeng dressed neatly for work every day, and his colleagues praised him for having a capable girlfriend. Li Mujia overheard his comments and embarrassed him in front of everyone. Li Guang visited the Yadong apartment project and learned that sales weren't going well. The manager suggested a promotion, but Li Guang disagreed, believing the upcoming Olympics would bring positive changes to the real estate market.

Lao Liu made a lot of money from stock trading and gave a substantial interest to Ding Zhitan. Ding Zhitan was intrigued and discussed stock trading with Li Mujia. She advised him not to dabble in unfamiliar territory. Ding Zhitan took Li Mujia to see a property in the Yadong complex and put a down payment on the top-floor unit. He wanted to put Li Mujia's name on the property title, but she politely declined. Wu Jianqiu suddenly messaged Li Mujia to come to the meeting room for a discussion. Li Mujia packed her bags, ready to go to Chongqing at a moment's notice, and asked for leave from Ding Zhitan. Ding Zhitan was having dinner with Old Liu and also sought his advice on stock trading techniques.

Lao Liu treated Ding Zhitan to a meal, boasting about his stock market earnings and urging Ding Zhitan to accompany him to buy a car. Ding Zhitan sought advice on stock trading techniques, and Lao Liu confidently claimed that the stock market would multiply by six times, immediately catching Ding Zhitan's interest.

The acquisition of Northland Estates was nearing completion, but suddenly Diao Dexing from Hailan Real Estate withheld the building planning permit. He demanded an additional five million yuan from Zhao Zong. Zhao Zong, along with Wu Jianqiu, Xing Xiaofei, and Li Mujia, discussed countermeasures. Wu Jianqiu insisted on adhering to the contract and not giving Diao Dexing any extra money. Diao Dexing called Zhao Zong to threaten, offering 2 million yuan this time. Li Mujia promptly refused, and Zhao Zong's brother, Zhao Lindong, secretly offered 1 million yuan. Diao Dexing agreed to this offer. Li Mujia warned Zhao Lindong not to give Diao Dexing any more money.

Wu Jianqiu sent Li Mujia to Chongqing and personally took her to the airport, instructing her to retrieve the building planning permit from Diao Dexing. He tried to matchmake Li Mujia with Zhao Lindong, but she already had a boyfriend, so Wu Jianqiu gave up. Lao Liu's stocks rose again, and Ding Zhitan envied his success. He asked Lao Liu to help him open a stock trading account.

Tian Rong worked tirelessly, familiarizing herself with every property, even sacrificing her sleep. Fan Huapeng visited Tian Rong after hearing that Li Mujia was away on a business trip. Tian Rong quickly put aside her work to cook for him. She wanted to save money with Fan Huapeng to buy a property at Yadong Apartments, but he sarcastically discouraged her, telling her to find a stable job first. This made Tian Rong feel upset. Fan Huapeng left without eating.

Early in the morning, Li Mujia headed to Hailan Real Estate and called Ding Zhitan from the taxi to let him know she was safe. Li Mujia met Diao Dexing and tried to convince him to hand over the permit, but he refused. Tian Rong showed a pregnant female client a property. When the client's daughter had an asthma attack, Tian Rong rushed her to the hospital. The husband arrived and thanked Tian Rong, asking her to arrange the signing with the seller.

Ding Zhitan invested all his house purchase money in the stock market, and his stocks opened at the daily limit up. He was in a good mood, hoping to make a fortune from stock trading. Tian Rong cooked for Fan Huapeng at her home, but the landlord interrupted, warning her not to have any inappropriate relationships. Fan Huapeng made excuses to delay buying a house and blamed Tian Rong for not working hard. A tenant asked Tian Rong to get the landlord to fix a leaking pipe, and Fan Huapeng vented his frustration about their differing values and lack of a common language.

Li Mujia stood by Diao Dexing's office, determined not to leave until he handed over the permit. She saw a photo of Diao Dexing and his daughter and tried to appeal to his emotions, but he didn't budge. Debtors came to confront Diao Dexing about his daughter's debts. Li Mujia posed as his daughter and argued with them, claiming she had already reported to the police. She scared them away, and Diao Dexing was grateful to her, handing over the permit.

Li Mujia immediately called Ding Zhitan to share the good news. He asked her to return on the earliest flight the next day. Li Mujia continued working at home, sorting through documents. Ding Zhitan felt guilty. Li Mujia successfully obtained the permit, and the Northland Estates acquisition was completed smoothly. Wu Jianqiu granted the team a week off and publicly announced Li Mujia's promotion to assistant lawyer. Fan Huapeng tried to win Li Mujia's favor, revealing that Zhao Lindong liked her, but she ignored him.

Fan Huapeng desperately tried to get close to Li Mujia, even buying her a coffee to please her. However, Li Mujia scoffed at Fan Huapeng's attempts and he had no choice but to leave disappointed.

Ding's mother arranged a blind date for Ding Zhitan through his younger sister. Ding Zhitan reluctantly agreed to meet the girl, but he made it clear that he already had a girlfriend. The girl also wasn't interested in dating and was pressured by her mother to go on the blind date. Ding Zhitan accidentally discovered that they both liked the same game, and they connected over their shared interests. Thanks to Tian Rong's persistent efforts, she was recognized as an outstanding employee last month and received a 2,000 yuan bonus. However, she unexpectedly handed in her resignation. Her manager took the money back and even withheld her last month's sales commission.

Tian Rong couldn't bear to see her hard work go to waste. She called Fan Huapeng and discussed not quitting for now. Fan Huapeng scolded her harshly and forced her to quit and find a proper job. She borrowed 2,000 yuan from Fan Huapeng to pay her rent, but he impatiently hung up the phone.

Ding Zhitan used his house down payment to invest in stocks, but the market crashed, and the stocks he chose continuously hit the limit down. He lost a lot of money and was advised by Lao Liu to cut his losses and exit. As the down payment deadline approached, he became anxious and couldn't focus on work. Li Mujia was promoted to assistant lawyer. She picked Ding Zhitan up after work to celebrate and showed off her new work badge. She urged him to pay the down payment, but Ding Zhitan made various excuses.

Li Mujia's cousin Chen Qing returned from studying abroad, accompanied by her boyfriend Gao Chang, to develop in Beijing. Li Mujia originally wanted Ding Zhitan to accompany her to the airport to pick them up, but he used the excuse of financial losses to decline. Li Mujia welcomed Chen Qing and Gao Chang at the airport, and they enjoyed exploring Beijing together.

Ding Zhitan was preoccupied with the stock market daily and neglected his work, resulting in a reprimand from his supervisor. His stocks plummeted, and he lost everything. Lao Liu advised him to tell Li Mujia the truth. Li Mujia invited Chen Qing and Gao Chang for Peking duck and called Ding Zhitan to join, but he was in no mood to socialize and abruptly hung up the call. The blind date partner invited Ding Zhitan to play a game together, and he reluctantly agreed, hiding it from Li Mujia.

Li Guang found Li Mujia's work badge on the ground after eating Peking duck. Li Mujia realized she had lost her badge and hurried back to the restaurant to look for it. Li Guang returned it to her, and Li Mujia thanked him and took his business card. In her haste, she nearly stumbled and amused Li Guang.

Tian Rong went to visit Fan Huapeng, who urged her to find a proper job quickly. She enjoyed her current job, but Fan Huapeng broke up with her in person, claiming that they had different values and couldn't communicate. Tian Rong didn't want to break up and begged him tearfully. Fan Huapeng forcefully sent her away.

Li Mujia returned home after work and found Tian Rong sitting outside her door in tears, informing her about the breakup. Li Mujia comforted her desperately. Fan Huapeng called to ask Tian Rong to send his shirt, and Tian Rong wanted to reconcile with him. Li Mujia hung up the phone, preventing her from lingering on Fan Huapeng. Unable to sleep, Tian Rong drank to drown her sorrows, and Li Mujia brought her a glass of milk and kindly advised her.

Early in the morning, Li Mujia returned Fan Huapeng's shirt and scolded him harshly. Fan Huapeng retorted, escalating their argument. Chen Qing and Gao Chang wanted to rent a house from Tian Rong, but they couldn't reach her. They learned from Li Mujia that Tian Rong had just gone through a breakup and decided to wait patiently.

Ding Zhitan wanted to be honest with Li Mujia, so he went to her law firm. He overheard colleagues discussing Zhao Lindong's interest in Li Mujia. Angrily, Ding Zhitan invested all his housing funds in the stock market. Li Mujia worked late and called Ding Zhitan, who was drinking alone at home. She wanted to visit him, but he couldn't face her and told her to report her safety once she got home. As soon as Li Mujia got home, she called Ding Zhitan, who, under the influence of alcohol, poured out his worries to her. He feared losing her and she promised to marry him once they bought a house. Ding Zhitan felt too burdened to express his grievances.

Tian Rong was unwilling to separate from Fan Huapeng. She waited outside his house, and Li Mujia arrived later to persuade her to go home. But Tian Rong was adamant, wanting to stay with Fan Huapeng. Li Mujia took Tian Rong to the rooftop and urged her not to lose herself over a breakup. Tian Rong woke up to the reality and cried in Li Mujia's arms. Li Mujia managed to convince Tian Rong to return home and encouraged her to focus on work.

Tian Rong was starving and wanted to stew chicken soup, but she discovered that Dr. Xiaozhang had used the chicken to practice suturing. Despite this, Tian Rong made a pot of chicken soup, and Li Mujia and Dr. Xiaozhang praised her culinary skills. Feeling the pain of her recent breakup, Tian Rong believed that owning a house was more dependable than relying on a man. She called her parents to ask for money to buy a house.

Tomorrow is the deadline to pay the down payment, and Xiao Wei from the sales office at Yadong Apartments can't reach Ding Zhitan. She ends up calling Li Mujia for help. Li Mujia calls Ding Zhitan and arranges to meet him tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock to collect the money. Ding Zhitan is at a loss due to his losses in the stock market. He reluctantly agrees, and Li Mujia calls her mother to share the good news.

Li Mujia waits at the sales office for a long time, but Ding Zhitan doesn't show up. She calls him, and in frustration, Ding Zhitan smashes his phone. Through Xiao Wei, Li Mujia learns that today is the deadline. Ding Zhitan had already requested an extension of one month. She has no choice but to leave in a taxi on her own. On the way, she witnesses a car accident involving someone who looks like Ding Zhitan. The ambulance takes the injured person away. Li Mujia rushes to the hospital, only to realize she mistook the person. In her hurry, she scratched her foot without even noticing.

Li Mujia spends the entire day waiting downstairs, and Ding Zhitan finally returns with his head down. He confesses that he used the housing funds to invest in stocks and lost everything. Li Mujia is stunned, struggling to believe the reality. Ding Zhitan is now penniless, and he forces Li Mujia to make a decision on the spot whether she'll still be with him. Caught off guard, Li Mujia is speechless. Ding Zhitan assumes that Li Mujia no longer loves him, and he vents all the built-up frustrations, accusing her of being vain and not caring about him. Li Mujia doesn't want to explain too much, but Ding Zhitan persists. He believes that even if they get married, they will eventually break up due to her ambitions. Li Mujia is heartbroken and wants to discuss it once he's sober. Ding Zhitan is in utter despair and rushes back home.

Li Mujia arrives at the Yadong Apartment construction site overnight, recalling the beautiful moments she shared with Ding Zhitan. Her emotions are complicated. Li Mujia is asked to work overtime at the law firm due to Wu Jianqiu's situation. She arrives at the office feeling down, and Wu Jianqiu learns about her breakup. She encourages Li Mujia to free herself from the pain and accompanies her to the hospital to bandage her wound. Li Mujia works late at the law firm and opens up about her troubles to Tian Rong, who does her best to comfort her. That night, Li Mujia can't sleep and is comforted by Tian Rong's presence, promising to stay by her side.

Ding's mother learns that Ding Zhitan lost the house money due to stock trading and scolds him severely. She feels that the gap between Ding Zhitan and Li Mujia is too big, but she doesn't want them to break up. She asks Ding Zhitan to send dumplings to Li Mujia. Li Mujia appears absent-minded at work, and Wu Jianqiu expresses concern for her. Ding Zhitan comes to give Li Mujia dumplings, observing the hurried people coming and going from the building. He feels inferior and gives up on the idea of winning back Li Mujia. He hopes for her well-being, but Li Mujia can't bear to let him go. As Ding Zhitan walks away with a desolate figure, tears stream down Li Mujia's face uncontrollably.

Tian Rong brings her parents to see houses, and they're concerned about the pressure of the mortgage. Tian Rong wishes for a home of her own, and her parents fully support her. After breaking up with Ding Zhitan, Li Mujia throws herself into her work, but memories of their six-year relationship still bring her to tears. Wu Jianqiu notices this. Ding Zhitan remains despondent and makes frequent mistakes at work.

Wu Jianqiu has a heart-to-heart talk with Li Mujia, who opens up about her feelings. Wu Jianqiu also shares her own marriage experience with Wang Wei. They have an open conversation, and Wu Jianqiu encourages Li Mujia to rise above the difficulties and face life bravely. Li Mujia's outlook brightens, and she feels fortunate to have met Wu Jianqiu. Tian Rong carefully selects several properties for her parents to visit. She treats her clients sincerely, honestly explaining the pros and cons of each property and recommending the most suitable options, gaining their trust.

Tian Rong took the clients to view the property, and the clients were very satisfied. They decided on the spot. Tian Rong's parents prepared a big table of dishes, and Li Mujia and Dr. Xiao Zhang enjoyed a hearty meal. After the meal, Tian Rong discussed the matter of buying a house with her parents. Her parents learned that she had broken up with Fan Huapeng and agreed to provide 600,000 savings to support Tian Rong.

Wu Jianqiu repeatedly called Li Guang to urge him to sign the contract quickly. However, Li Guang hesitated to sign. He believed that there were hidden currents within the group due to equity issues. He wanted to sort things out thoroughly before allowing Wu Jianqiu's team to enter, to avoid unnecessary trouble for their work. Tian Rong took her parents to look at several houses. In the end, they chose a residential area further away from the city center. Her parents were concerned about the inconvenience of the distance from their workplace, but Tian Rong was more interested in the development prospects of the chosen area, thinking that distance wouldn't be an issue.

Wu Jianqiu took Li Mujia to meet Li Guang. On the way, he briefly introduced Li Guang's situation. She specifically arranged for the restaurant to have a blackberry-flavored red wine, making sure that Li Mujia would remember the origin of that wine. Upon their first meeting, Li Mujia recognized Li Guang as the person who found her work badge. She pretended not to know him, and Li Guang also didn't mention their acquaintance. He told Wu Jianqiu honestly that he wanted to straighten out internal issues before signing with her. Wu Jianqiu and Li Guang discussed the cooperation framework. The three of them had lunch together. Li Mujia wasn't knowledgeable about wine, and she inadvertently ordered a different wine than the one Wu Jianqiu had reserved. Li Guang detected the mistake in the first sip. He didn't want Li Mujia to feel embarrassed, so he quickly made an excuse to leave. Wu Jianqiu explained the situation to Li Mujia, leaving her blushing with embarrassment.

Li's mother wanted Li Mujia to bring Ding Zhitan back for the Lunar New Year. She couldn't reach Li Mujia and had to call Ding Zhitan, only to find out that Li Mujia and Ding Zhitan had already broken up. Li's mother called to ask for the reason behind their breakup. Li Mujia explained that they couldn't get along, but her mother insisted and pressured her to reconcile with Ding Zhitan. Li Mujia felt trapped by her mother's persistence.

Tian Rong decided to buy three properties, intending to live in one and rent out the other two. Her parents strongly disagreed and advised her to buy just one property. Tian Rong reiterated her intentions multiple times, as long as her parents lent her the 600,000 yuan. Wu Jianqiu assigned Li Mujia to continue working on the Dawn Tower project. Li Mujia quickly drafted the contract and went to have Li Guang sign it. She thanked Li Guang for not revealing that they already knew each other. Li Guang gave Li Mujia a bottle of wine – the one Wu Jianqiu had failed to order.

Li's mother personally visited Ding Zhitan. He was having a meal with his parents, and he discreetly notified Li Mujia. Li's mother brought a large can of pork ribs, Ding Zhitan's favorite dish, and advised him to reconcile with Li Mujia. Ding's mother felt Li Mujia wasn't a suitable match for Ding Zhitan. She blamed Li Mujia for being too busy with work and pushed all the responsibility for Ding Zhitan's stock market losses onto her. Ding Zhitan tried to defend Li Mujia, but his mother remained adamant, criticizing Li Mujia harshly.

Li Mujia arrived later and thanked Ding's mother for making dumplings. Li's mother advised them to talk things through. Li Mujia didn't want to bring up the subject again, so she tried to leave with her mother. Ding's father handed 100,000 yuan to Li's mother, and Li Mujia hurriedly sent her mother away. Then she sought out Chen Qing and asked him to invest the money for short-term gains, intending to return the money to Ding Zhitan. Tian Rong's parents couldn't persuade her and left her with 600,000 yuan before returning home. Tian Rong pledged to establish herself in Beijing as soon as possible. Not long after, regardless of her department manager's advice, she took out a loan to buy three properties.

Li Mujia handed the bottle of wine to Wu Jianqiu, who immediately called Li Guang to express gratitude. Li Guang was momentarily stunned because he had intended to give that bottle of wine to Li Mujia. Wu Jianqiu detailed the team's responsibilities and accelerated their progress on the Dawn Tower project.

Tian Rong talked non-stop to Li Mujia about her grand goal of buying three properties with loans. She urged Li Mujia to use the 100,000 yuan from Ding Zhitan's parents to buy a property as well. Li Mujia wanted to repay Ding Zhitan as soon as possible.

Workers at the Dawn Tower construction site were injured by detached stone materials. Wu Jianqiu immediately called Li Mujia, who hurried to the site. As a representative lawyer for Dawn Tower, Li Mujia expressed condolences to the injured and they demanded a compensation of 50,000 yuan. The developer, Mo Da Group, the largest shareholder of Dawn Group, refused to agree. The workers showed poor quality stones that could easily be broken by hand. Li Mujia promised to resolve the issue within 24 hours, and only then did the workers disperse. The project manager of Mo Da Group was displeased with Li Mujia's actions. He negotiated with her, hoping she would back down. Li Mujia ordered him to handle the injured workers' issue promptly.

Li Mujia truthfully reported the issue of detached stone materials to Wu Jianqiu and brought a piece of stone from the scene. Wu Jianqiu immediately called Li Guang to report the matter. Li Guang handled the issue properly, arranging compensation for the injured workers. One of the injured workers sent Li Mujia a banner to express gratitude. Wu Jianqiu spoke highly of Li Mujia's actions.

Tian Rong completed the down payment and loan procedures and finally succeeded in buying three properties. Holding the property certificates in her hands, she was incredibly happy. She took Li Mujia to visit her new home, treating the properties as if they were her boyfriends. Tian Rong saved money by renting out one of the properties. Li Guang accompanied Mo Da Group's Chairman, Mo Dahai, to visit the building. Mo Dahai intended to lease the office spaces to Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations. Li Guang suggested reserving some space for small and medium-sized enterprises, but they disagreed on this matter.

Li Guang couldn't persuade Mo Dahai and planned to contact other shareholders. He asked Wu Jianqiu to report on behalf of the injured workers, which led to Li Mujia being disciplined and forced to take leave. Li Mujia couldn't understand – she had fought for the best interests of the injured workers. Wu Jianqiu felt helpless and couldn't explain everything to her. When Li Guang learned that Li Mujia had been suspended, he blamed himself. He decided to undermine Mo Dahai's authority as a last resort.

As the Beijing real estate market warmed up, property prices increased. Regretful, Ding Zhitan's parents advised him to buy a second-hand house. Learning that Li Mujia had been suspended, Tian Rong came to visit her. Ding Zhitan called Tian Rong to discuss buying a house. She suggested he buy a second-hand house. Soon after, Tian Rong found a house for Ding Zhitan, who promptly bought it. Li Mujia wanted to return the money to Ding Zhitan, so she arranged to meet him after work.

Ding Zhitan and Li Mujia separately arrived at the restaurant where they used to date. They noticed the wish cards they had hung together were still there, and both felt uncomfortable. Li Mujia returned the money to Ding Zhitan, wishing him happiness. They raised their glasses and drank to each other's well-being. To pay off her mortgage, Tian Rong economized in every way. She didn't want to worry her parents, so she only shared good news with them.

When Li Mujia returned home from work, she found that the power was out and there was a leak upstairs. She called the property management late at night and learned that a leaking pipe was the cause. Li Guang invited Jiang and Zhao, his friends, to have hotpot together. He elaborated on his thoughts and ideas in real estate. He was dissatisfied with Mo Dahai's pursuit of high profits. Jiang and Zhao provided advice, and in passing, they mentioned Li Mujia treating Li Guang like a lobby manager.

Li Mujia finished work late and suddenly noticed someone was following her. Terrified, she pretended to be calm and called her mother for help. The pursuer was relentless. Li Mujia panicked, and while trying to escape, she accidentally fell. Wanting to call for help, she mistakenly dialed Li Guang's number. Li Guang was engrossed in a conversation with his good friend, and when he called back, Li Mujia's phone was unreachable.

Li Mujia was being followed. Terrified, she fled in a panic. The person in black pursued her relentlessly. Li Mujia quietly hid at the alley entrance, waiting for the person in black to approach. When they got closer, Li Mujia swung her bag at them, catching them off guard. The person in black picked up a dropped wallet and Li Mujia seized the opportunity to escape. She ran breathlessly to a bustling street to regain her composure.

Li Mujia called Li Guang to explain that she had dialed the wrong number earlier. Then she took a taxi to Chen Qing's house. Chen Qing advised her to move out soon. Li Mujia immediately called Tian Rong, who promised to find her a suitable place to live. When Li Mujia returned home from work, she saw TV reporters covering the demolition in the area. She casually complained, and the reporters interviewed her randomly. Li Mujia appealed to relevant authorities to strengthen safety regulations in the area to protect people like her who returned home at night.

Seeing Li Mujia on TV, Li Guang realized that she had been stalked the previous night. Due to the Dawn Tower's workplace injury incident, Li Mujia had been suspended. Bored at home, she went to the law firm early. Xing Xiaofei stood up for her and advised her to rest. The bed in the tenant's room suddenly collapsed. Reluctant to spend money on a new bed, Tian Rong reinforced it with some boards and accidentally hurt her waist. Tian Rong called Li Mujia for help, and Li Mujia rushed over without hesitation.

Tian Rong inquired and found out that calling an ambulance would cost 120 yuan. Concerned about the money, she struggled downstairs, but Li Mujia arrived in time and took Tian Rong to the hospital. Chen Qing and Gao Chang arrived later. Fortunately, Tian Rong hadn't injured her bones. The doctor prescribed medication for her injuries. Chen Qing and Gao Chang helped Li Mujia take Tian Rong home, fixed the bed, and left only after making sure it was safe. Li Mujia stayed behind to take care of Tian Rong.

The project manager of Dawn Tower was arrested for using inferior materials. His family caused a scene at Li Mujia's rental house. Dr. Xiao Zhang called Li Mujia back, and after explaining the serious consequences of their actions, they still wouldn't listen. They slapped Li Mujia hard. Dr. Xiao Zhang shielded Li Mujia and was also beaten. Li Mujia felt wronged, but Dr. Xiao Zhang comforted her.

Li Guang didn't want to beat around the bush with Mo Dahai anymore. He wanted to sue Mo Dahai directly. Li Guang and Wu Jianqiu discussed having Li Mujia as the attorney. Wu Jianqiu worried that Li Mujia might not be able to handle it alone, but Li Guang was determined and wanted to make up for his debts to her. Li Mujia was ecstatic. She called Tian Rong to share the good news and planned to celebrate before finding a new place to live.

Tian Rong took Li Mujia to view an apartment. The community was nice and had 24-hour security. The only downside was the relatively high rent. Li Mujia was satisfied and single-mindedly focused on winning the lawsuit. She aspired to move into the Jinlong Bay villa area. Tian Rong negotiated with the landlord, securing the lowest possible rent for Li Mujia. Li Mujia moved out that day, and Tian Rong wholeheartedly assisted her.

Using the pretext of discussing the lawsuit, Li Guang invited Li Mujia for a meeting. Li Mujia arrived on time and realized that Li Guang wanted to have a meal with her. She didn't understand why he entrusted such an important case to a novice like her. Li Guang admitted his desire to make it up to her and suggested she move into a friend's place. Li Mujia politely declined and left without having dinner, claiming she had work to do.

Tian Rong, Chen Qing, and Gao Chang came to warm up Li Mujia's new home. The four of them enjoyed themselves, celebrating Li Mujia's successful career. The manager brought a set of property listings, and Tian Rong eagerly took charge. She visited the listings promptly and discovered that several real estate agencies wanted an exclusive deal with the landlord. The landlord proposed signing exclusively with whoever successfully closed the deal first. Tian Rong helped the landlord's wife move and even volunteered to clean the house. As a result, the landlord's wife handed her the keys.

Mo Dahai hired the renowned lawyer Gu Sheng. Li Mujia felt uncertain, but Wu Jianqiu encouraged her. Gu Sheng came to Jin Da Law Firm to exchange views. Li Mujia followed the procedure and negotiated with him.

Tian Rong effortlessly obtained the key to that apartment. She returned to the store to get tools and thoroughly cleaned the apartment. Soon, she had her first prospective tenant. The customer pointed out numerous flaws in the apartment, offering over three hundred thousand less than the landlord's asking price. The negotiation failed. Unable to catch the last bus, Tian Rong stayed at Li Mujia's rental house.

Tian Rong discussed the idea of renting the apartment at a lower price with Li Mujia. They planned to spruce it up and then raise the rent by a thousand yuan before renting it out. However, Li Mujia wasn't interested. Her mind was solely focused on winning the Dawn Tower case. She stood in the position of the opposing lawyer and drafted a response, asking Tian Rong to help her simulate the trial scene.

The next morning, Li Mujia went to the court with high spirits. Wu Jianqiu cheered her on and repeatedly emphasized Li Guang's principle of not accepting mediation and not withdrawing the lawsuit. The trial started, and Gu Sheng, representing the defendant, filed a counterclaim. Li Mujia argued with him logically. Gu Sheng requested mediation, but Li Mujia adamantly refused, leading to the trial being suspended.

Due to the problems in funding, Mo Dahai approached Li Guang for negotiations regarding the Dawn Tower case. Li Guang firmly rejected his proposal, stating that they wouldn't compromise. Gu Sheng visited the law firm to question Wu Jianqiu, who quickly evaded him. Coincidentally, Li Mujia arrived at the firm, and Gu Sheng directed his anger towards her before leaving, warning her not to provoke Mo Dahai.

Fan Huapeng advised Li Mujia not to let Wu Jianqiu use her as a pawn, as offending Mo Dahai would lead to endless troubles. Li Mujia scoffed at his suggestion. Li Guang called Wu Jianqiu for a meeting and learned that Mo Dahai had encountered financial issues after purchasing a piece of land. Wu Jianqiu was relieved to hear that the Dawn Tower case wouldn't drag on for too long. Li Mujia received a call from her son's teacher and hastily left with Li Guang.

Tian Rong and her client, Aunt Chen, arranged to view the apartment. She waited until it was dark but received a call from Aunt Chen, notifying her that she couldn't make it due to an issue. Tian Rong was quite interested in the apartment. She called her father overnight to borrow money, even suggesting that he sell their family home in their hometown to come to Beijing. Her father firmly refused. Unable to catch the last bus, Tian Rong had to stay at Li Mujia's place. Li Mujia was up all night working on the Dawn Tower case.

When Tian Rong woke up early, she found that Li Mujia had stayed up all night and was concerned for her well-being. Li Mujia and Tian Rong received a message from their university roommate, Wang Yuanyuan, inviting them to a wedding. Tian Rong thought about being a bridesmaid to avoid giving a red envelope, but Wang Yuanyuan had already chosen her cousin. Tian Rong took her client, Li Yang, to view an apartment. Li Yang ended up buying two apartments. Tian Rong helped him arrange the loan process.

Dawn Group held a press conference, and media reporters rushed to report on it. Wu Jianqiu and Li Mujia attended as planned. Li Guang publicly stated that even if Dawn Tower remained indefinitely halted, he wouldn't tolerate cutting corners. There were protesters at the entrance of Dawn Tower, and Wu Jianqiu suspected that Mo Dahai was behind it. She asked Li Mujia to handle the situation.

Li Yang brought his son, Li Wanbing, to the bank to apply for a loan. Tian Rong helped them tirelessly. Li Yang praised her and even suggested that Li Wanbing learn from her. Li Wanbing misunderstood and chatted with Tian Rong briefly. Li Yang felt Tian Rong was too astute and quickly pulled Li Wanbing away. Tian Rong received a call from Wang Yuanyuan; her cousin was sick and couldn't be the bridesmaid. Wang Yuanyuan asked Tian Rong for help.

Through Li Mujia's persistent efforts, the protesting workers were eventually dispersed. Li Guang wanted to thank her over a meal, but Li Mujia questioned his intentions. Li Guang explained, persuading Li Mujia to continue representing the case. Li Mujia hurriedly returned to the law firm to organize the workers' demands. Wu Jianqiu was also working late at the firm, and the two shared instant noodles to stave off hunger.

Li Mujia and Tian Rong attended Wang Yuanyuan's wedding. Li Mujia was emotional as she remembered her own situation. Tian Rong comforted her, advising her not to overthink things. Li Mujia's son, Doudou, wanted to meet his father, Wang Wei, over the weekend. Wu Jianqiu had to inform Wang Wei, who took the opportunity to suggest that Wu Jianqiu give up the suburban villa. However, Wu Jianqiu firmly declined.

Tian Rong accompanied Wang Yuanyuan through the wedding procedures and was happy about the free food and drinks, not to mention the fact that she didn't need to give a red envelope. When classmates learned that Tian Rong had bought three apartments, they were envious and jealous.

Gao Chang prepared a heartfelt breakfast for Chen Qing. Chen Qing enjoyed it greatly. Gao Chang wanted to open the fridge to get something, but suddenly, the fridge door fell off. Gao Chang decided to buy a new fridge. Chen Qing quickly called Tian Rong and asked her to notify the landlord to replace the fridge.

Early in the morning, Tian Rong went to the breakfast shop downstairs to buy Jianbing Guozi (pan-fried pancake). Coincidentally, the landlord, Li Wanbing, came to collect the rent. She learned that this shop space was purchased by Li Wanbing's father, Li Yang, using compensation money from a demolition project. Tian Rong asked many questions out of curiosity, and Li Wanbing asked her about the knowledge of being a real estate agent. Tian Rong shared her own experiences with him, and Li Wanbing greatly benefited from it. He immediately decided not to raise the rent for the shop owner and even asked the owner to give Tian Rong a discount.

Tian Rong called Li Mu Jia to have a meal together. Suddenly, the local police officer, Luo Yu, came to her door. Tian Rong didn't hang up the phone, and Luo Yu found a large box of cash in the tenant Xiao Zhao's room. Xiao Zhao was suspected of embezzling company funds. Luo Yu wanted Tian Rong to cooperate with the investigation and take her back. Li Mu Jia heard about this on the phone and rushed to the police station. As it turned out, Xiao Zhao had manipulated the company's financial records and embezzled a large sum of money, hiding it all under the bed. Tian Rong had no knowledge of this. After the police confirmed that Tian Rong was not involved, they released her. Tian Rong's house was sealed, and Li Mu Jia offered to take her in.

Due to the impact of the international financial storm, the real estate market's transaction volume remained low. With developers offering promotions and price cuts, a wave of property owners initiated a mass exodus from their homes. The real estate agency business became extremely quiet, and Tian Rong found it difficult to make ends meet. Mortgage payments became a heavy burden on her. With no other choice, Tian Rong had to take leave and return to her hometown to seek help from her parents.

Wu Jianqiu sent Li Mu Jia to talk to Li Guang about the case of Li Ming Building. She also gave Li Guang a bottle of sleeping pills. Mo Dahai personally came to negotiate with Li Guang, urging him to settle the matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Li Ming Building couldn't be completed on time, they would have to pay an eight percent penalty. Li Guang refused to compromise. Mo Dahai left angrily, vowing consequences. This made Li Guang furious. He slammed the door as Mo Dahai left and angrily threw the documents on the table to the ground.

Li Mu Jia went to find Li Guang but couldn't locate him. In the corridor, she saw Li Guang sitting alone on the steps, looking downcast. Li Mu Jia started singing a children's song and used the light from her phone to create cute animal shapes with her fingers. Lastly, she quietly cleaned up Li Guang's office, placed the sleeping pills in an envelope, and drew a smiling face on the envelope. Li Guang was deeply moved when he saw these actions. He immediately called Wu Jianqiu for a meeting.

Tian Rong returned to her hometown in Datong, Shanxi. She noticed significant changes there. A classmate who drove a taxi, Xiao Hei, recognized her and offered her a ride home. Xiao Hei even called another classmate, Xiao Hui, to arrange a meal together. Suddenly, Tian Rong rushed back home, surprising and delighting her parents. Over a meal, her parents realized she was living frugally to repay her loans and suggested she sell her house. However, Tian Rong firmly refused and remained determined.

That night, unable to sleep, Tian Rong received a glass of milk from her father. She immediately called her landlady, Xu Jie, and asked her to quickly replace the fridge and deliver it to Chen Qing and the others. Hearing that Tian Rong was busy working at home, her mother felt heartbroken. Gao Chang and Chen Qing decided they wanted to buy a larger fridge. Xu Jie brought them a fridge, but it was noisy and kept shaking. Gao Chang was annoyed and decided to buy a new one.

Wu Jianqiu invited the lawyer from Li Ming Group, Zhou, for a meeting. She had carefully planned this meeting, having Li Mu Jia pretend to be a helpless little rabbit while Xing Xiaofei acted as the fierce wolf. Xing Xiaofei and Lawyer Zhou quickly got into an argument. Wu Jianqiu stepped in to stabilize the situation, and both sides eventually shook hands and reconciled. This scene was successfully executed, and Li Guang watched the entire process through video. He immediately hosted a celebration dinner for Wu Jianqiu.

Xiao Hei organized a classmate reunion and welcomed Tian Rong. They casually asked about the current situation of the Beijing property market. Tian Rong, feeling troubled, received a call from the bank urging her to repay her credit card. She promised to return to Beijing before ending the call. Classmate Xiao Hao voluntarily drove Tian Rong home, sensing that she was facing difficulties. Tian Rong struggled to conceal her troubles.

Feeling dejected, Tian Rong returned home and overheard her parents' conversation. They hoped she would stay in the hometown to develop her career. Feeling too ashamed to face her parents, Tian Rong went downstairs to clear her mind.

Tian Rong sat downstairs until late before returning home. She packed her belongings, preparing to go back to Beijing. Her mother quietly entered her room to help her. Tian Rong leaned against her mother, feeling deeply comforted. Worried that Mo Dahai wouldn't back down, Wu Jianqiu had Li Mu Jia perform a divination for Li Guang. Li Mu Jia took out a coin, and Li Guang correctly guessed three times in a row. As a result, Li Mu Jia gave him the lucky coin.

After returning from her hometown, Tian Rong immediately immersed herself in work. Due to the sluggish real estate market, only the manager remained at the office. He advised Tian Rong to take a rest. However, with three properties to support, Tian Rong couldn't afford to slack off. She promptly called Li Yang and arranged for him to view properties.

Li Mu Jia went to the company to deliver additional evidence to Li Guang. Li Guang was busy that day, and the receptionist didn't let Li Mu Jia in. She handed over the documents to the company's legal department. Li Guang intended to personally go to New York to persuade four fund companies. He didn't have an appointment and didn't know if they were available. He took out the lucky coin Li Mu Jia had given him and decided to take a chance. Tian Rong took Li Yang and Li Wanbing to view a property. After learning that it was an ominous place, Li Yang and Li Wanbing promptly left.

The bank called Tian Rong, but she didn't have the money to repay the loan, so she hung up. The bank then called Li Mu Jia and, on the spot, she gave Tian Rong 20,000 yuan to repay the loan. Tian Rong advised her to buy property while the market was slow, but Li Mu Jia didn't have the funds. Tian Rong's house was unsealed, and she was eager to take Li Mu Jia home. They packed up all of the belongings of the tenant Zhao Zhao. Zhao Zhao's sister came to collect the items and pressured Tian Rong to return the deposit. However, Tian Rong firmly refused. Zhao Zhao's actions led to her property being sealed, so she had to live with Li Mu Jia. She even thought about seeking compensation from Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao's sister yelled in the hallway, and neighbors who didn't know the truth criticized Tian Rong. Li Mu Jia stepped forward to argue with Zhao Zhao's sister and defended her position. Tian Rong got so angry that she even grabbed a broom to argue with Zhao Zhao's sister. Eventually, she had to leave.

Li Mu Jia suddenly received a call from her second aunt. She learned that her mother had fractured her bones and was hospitalized. Li Mu Jia immediately rushed back to her hometown, Wuxi. Her mother claimed that she slipped and fell while taking a shower. From her second aunt, Li Mu Jia learned that the house was leaking, and her mother tried to fix it herself to save money. However, she fell off a chair, resulting in a hip joint fracture. Li Mu Jia discovered that her mother had saved all the money she had sent her to prevent her from facing difficulties after getting married. Li Mu Jia's emotions were complex.

Li Mu Jia stayed by her mother's bedside without leaving, even working late into the night to organize documents. Her mother's second aunt prepared supper for her. The doctor suggested a hip joint replacement surgery, but her mother didn't want to spend the money and insisted on conservative treatment. In frustration, Li Mu Jia resigned to accompany her. Eventually, her mother agreed to the surgery after the doctor found out she had commercial medical insurance that could cover the surgery costs. Li Mu Jia was surprised because she didn't remember buying insurance for her mother.

Li Yang came to buy a property from Tian Rong. She recommended her own property to him, and he decided to take a look. Li Mu Jia tirelessly persuaded her mother to undergo surgery, and her second aunt also helped persuade her. Eventually, the doctor found out that her mother had commercial medical insurance that would fully cover the surgery costs. Only then did her mother agree to the surgery. Li Mu Jia hadn't remembered buying insurance for her.

Li Yang took Li Wanbing to view a property and had him cooperate in bargaining to drive down the price with Tian Rong. Tian Rong had been waiting for a while, and Li Yang listed the drawbacks of the property one by one. They haggled until they reached 1 million yuan. Li Wanbing secretly sent a message, hinting to Tian Rong not to fall for it. Tian Rong used the excuse of needing to discuss with her parents. After careful consideration, she agreed to sell to Li Yang for 1 million yuan. Li Yang gave her 50,000 yuan as a deposit on the spot. Li Wanbing sent a message teasing Tian Rong for being too naive.

The surgery on her mother was successful. Li Mu Jia worked tirelessly, juggling work and taking care of her mother. Finally, she was exhausted, but her mother cared deeply for her. After returning from New York, Li Guang went straight to Wuxi to visit Li Mu Jia. Li Mu Jia suspected that Li Guang had purchased commercial medical insurance for her mother and thanked him. Li Guang willingly helped Li Mu Jia organize documents and then asked her to have supper with him. Chairman Fang found a minor mistake in the documents and called Li Mu Jia late at night to hold her accountable. Li Mu Jia was frightened and repeatedly apologized. Later, Li Mu Jia took Li Guang to have wonton soup near the hospital, and Li Guang enjoyed it, reminiscing about his mother's cooking.

Li Guang and Li Mujia had a delightful conversation. Seizing the opportunity, Li Guang expressed his feelings to her. However, Li Mujia intentionally changed the topic and thanked him for his substantial assistance. Li Guang mentioned that he had a meeting early tomorrow morning and needed to rush back to Beijing overnight. Before leaving, Li Guang sincerely conveyed his feelings of love to Li Mujia. He explained that he had been through a divorce and had passed the age of impulsive emotions. Yet, since meeting Li Mujia, he could never forget the day he hid in the stairwell, where her singing comforted his fears and unease. He was facing pressure from investors to withdraw his funding, trapped in a dilemma. If he yielded to Mo Dahai, he would lose everything; if he confronted Mo Dahai in court, both sides would suffer losses. Li Mujia's smile gave him strength, and the lucky coin she gave him instilled the courage to seek investment abroad. Li Guang hoped for a chance from Li Mujia.

After Li Guang left, due to exhaustion, Li Mujia fell asleep in the hallway. Tian Rong hurriedly came and gave her money. Li Mujia learned that Tian Rong had sold her house. Li Mujia shared her concerns and difficulties that Li Guang had helped her with. Tian Rong was delighted and encouraged her to pursue a relationship with Li Guang, but Li Mujia hadn't made up her mind yet.

Thanks to the careful care of Li Mujia and Tian Rong, Li's mother's leg injury gradually healed. She was discharged from the hospital and returned home. Neighbors envied her for having such a good daughter. Li's mother made dumplings for Tian Rong and Li Mujia. Tian Rong brought the dumplings back to Beijing for her colleagues to taste. The real estate market gradually improved, and the manager encouraged the employees to work harder and expand the team.

In the 14th episode of "Along the Way," Li Mujia was about to return to Beijing. Her mother repeatedly advised her to find a girlfriend and settle down. Li Mujia made excuses to brush it off. Li's mother secretly placed all her savings in Li Mujia's bag, instructing her to buy a house in Beijing. As expected, the property market in Beijing soared. People queued up at agencies to buy houses. Tian Rong was swamped with work, and Li Mujia had only a hundred thousand yuan, making it difficult to afford even a second-hand house, as prices were also rising rapidly.

Landlady Sister Xu wanted to raise the rent by 500 yuan. Gao Chang and her had a heated argument. Gao Chang considered moving out and finding a new place, but with the current red-hot property market, rent was skyrocketing. Chen Qing advised Gao Chang to make amends with Sister Xu. After work, Chen Qing and Gao Chang returned home, only to find that Sister Xu had changed the lock. Chen Qing had to call Tian Rong for help, and a locksmith was summoned.

The value of Tian Rong's house increased by 150,000 yuan. The manager advised her to reclaim the deposit. Tian Rong called Li Yang, but hesitated to speak about it. Li Yang was waiting for her to back out to earn a penalty fee. He called her and she lied, saying she had dialed the wrong number. Li Wanbing honestly relayed Li Yang's intentions to Tian Rong and advised her not to fall for his trap. Sister Xu called Tian Rong to complain, but Tian Rong dealt with her with a smile and managed to negotiate a rent increase of only 300 yuan. Li Wanbing was impressed by Tian Rong's assertiveness.

Li Mujia went to the company to deliver additional documents to Li Guang, only to learn that he was abroad negotiating a major project. After thorough negotiations, Li Guang and Wallace successfully secured the project. Li Guang instructed his assistant, Fang Zhou, to inform Wu Jianqiu and transfer the case to her team. Li Yang couldn't come up with the down payment, so he sought to cancel the contract with Tian Rong. She returned the 50,000 yuan deposit to him and asked him to introduce more clients in return. Li Yang held a deep respect for Tian Rong.

Wang Wei took Dou Dou away and hadn't returned by 8 PM. Wu Jianqiu called and demanded Dou Dou to be sent back. Dou Dou was playing with LEGO and didn't want to go back. Wang Wei's girlfriend made Dou Dou laugh heartily. Wu Jianqiu was furious and ordered Wang Wei to bring Dou Dou to school the next morning, threatening consequences otherwise. Wang Wei was indifferent. Feeling defeated, Wu Jianqiu called Li Mujia to vent her frustrations and sought her comforting advice.

Li Mujia accompanied Wu Jianqiu until late before returning home. She used to envy Wu Jianqiu's successful career and luxurious residence in Jinlong Bay, but now she realized that those wealthy individuals were not necessarily happy. Tian Rong couldn't understand the struggles of the wealthy and was immersed in her own dreams of getting rich.

Wu Jianqiu arrived early at the law firm. Li Mujia was eager to know if Wang Wei had returned Dou Dou. Wu Jianqiu, setting aside personal matters, questioned whether there was something between Li Mujia and Li Guang. Li Guang assigned the overseas project to Wu Jianqiu, but offered the lowest fee in history. Li Mujia admitted that Li Guang had confessed his feelings to her, but they hadn't been in touch since returning to Beijing. Wu Jianqiu decided to transfer Li Guang's case to Li Mujia. Li Mujia didn't want to take advantage of Li Guang's affection, but Wu Jianqiu advised her not to overthink it. She should give her all to complete the task and work towards her ideals. Wu Jianqiu reminded Li Mujia not to mix personal and professional matters, as she could be taken to court for it. Li Mujia readily accepted the case.

Tian Rong listed the house she had lived in for 1.5 million yuan. Many clients wanted to view it. She was honest with the first couple who came to see the house. Surprisingly, the man bargained, claiming that the previous tenant had illegally occupied a position. Li Wanbing arrived in time to mediate. The woman immediately paid a deposit of 50,000 yuan, but the man continued to feign poverty. Tian Rong eventually softened and lowered the price for him. Li Wanbing saw through the man's act and scolded Tian Rong, who felt they were not easily fooled.

After selling the house, Tian Rong earned 700,000 yuan. She bought a desired watch and celebrated with Li Mujia and Chen Qing. Li Mujia gave her a shopping voucher. In high spirits, Tian Rong drank a lot and soon got extremely drunk. Chen Qing asked Li Mujia to take Tian Rong to her place to rest. Coincidentally, Sister Xu came to retrieve some items and suspected collusion between Chen Qing and Tian Rong. She demanded the old fridge she had given to them. Chen Qing had already disposed of it. Sister Xu insisted that Chen Qing bring it back. After wandering around a flea market, Chen Qing and Gao Chang finally found a similar fridge.

Upon returning to Beijing, Li Guang held a press conference for the overseas project. Li Mujia and Wu Jianqiu attended punctually. Li Guang introduced the Dawn Tower project in New York in detail. Mo Dahai didn't believe that Li Guang could secure an overseas project so quickly. He sent Gu Sheng to investigate. Gu Sheng witnessed Li Guang speaking confidently and even shared the design plans for Dawn Tower with everyone. Gu Sheng reported this to Mo Dahai, who concluded that Li Guang was just putting on a show.

Fang Zhou received a call from an investor, informing her that representatives from the US were coming to Shanghai for inspection. She immediately notified Wu Jianqiu, who sent Li Mujia and lawyer Jin Lei to rush to Shanghai overnight. While shopping, Tian Rong overheard a customer selling a property in Jinlong Bay. She obtained the customer's contact information. Li Mujia was unfamiliar with overseas mergers and acquisitions projects and asked Jin Lei for help.

Li Guang truthfully explained to Wu Jianqiu that he needed the legal procedures with the US to proceed slowly, as he intended to use the overseas project to offset the losses from the suspended construction of Dawn Tower. The investors insisted that Li Guang resume construction before funding the overseas project. Wu Jianqiu knew it was a vicious cycle. Li Guang was desperate and had no other choice. Wu Jianqiu blamed Li Guang for involving Li Mujia, but Li Guang had no other options. Wu Jianqiu had to recall Jin Lei back to Beijing and leave Li Mujia alone in Shanghai to delay the time.

Li Mujia continued negotiations with Wallace. Suddenly, she experienced unbearable stomach pain. She explained her menstrual cramps to Wallace and left to find a convenience store. When she returned to the conference room, she found that Wallace and his team had left for the US. Li Yang was feeling unwell in the hospital and asked Li Wanbing to accompany Tian Rong to view houses. They chatted happily.

Li Yang rushed over and sent Li Wanbing to buy water, then advised Tian Rong not to date Li Wanbing. Tian Rong lied about having a boyfriend in her hometown. Li Yang decided to buy the house, agreeing to pay every cent of Tian Rong's commission. Li Wanbing called Tian Rong, but she hurriedly hung up, claiming to be busy with work.

After Wallace and his team returned to the US, Li Mujia returned to Beijing alone. She realized that all of this had been carefully orchestrated by Li Guang. He had Wu Jianqiu bring back Jin Lei, an expert in overseas projects, and had Li Mujia stay in Shanghai to buy time. Li Guang planned to explain everything to Wallace after making thorough preparations. While Li Mujia stayed up late organizing the contracts from her Shanghai trip, she complained to Tian Rong. Tian Rong also felt that Li Guang was not ordinary and worried that Li Mujia might not be able to match him.

Chen Qing and Gao Chang were getting married and their parents were urging them to buy a house as soon as possible. They came to Li Mujia to discuss it overnight. Tian Rong, bursting with excitement, enthusiastically shared positive news about the real estate market and highly recommended a house in Zizhu Garden. Li Mujia couldn't get a word in, and Chen Qing and Gao Chang quickly found an excuse to leave.

Tian Rong continued to persuade Li Mujia to buy a house. Since Li Mujia didn't have enough money, Tian Rong suggested she borrow from relatives, otherwise she might miss this great opportunity. Suddenly, Tian Rong received news that Zizhu Garden would be opening for sales the next day. She rushed home overnight to get her household registration book and ID card, asking Li Mujia to inform Chen Qing to go and secure a house the next day.

The real estate market in Beijing was booming. Whenever new properties were released for sale, people flocked to view them, and they were quickly sold out. Li Guang learned that Mo Dahai had purchased a prime piece of land, causing his financial situation to crumble. Li Guang heard that Mo Dahai was about to compromise, promising to allocate 5% of Dawn Tower's shares to Zhao Zong. Zhao Zong was eagerly waiting to see what would happen.

Tian Rong, Li Mujia, and Chen Qing arrived early at the Zizhu Garden sales office. A large crowd had already gathered there. Chen Qing decided to leave to avoid the competition. Tian Rong was disappointed but had to give Li Mujia step-by-step guidance on filling out the purchase registration form. Li Yang brought Li Wanbing to choose a house as well. Li Wanbing curiously asked about Tian Rong's boyfriend, and she hastily made up excuses to cover the truth.

Xing Xiaofei called Li Mujia to remind her to return quickly to deliver the contract to Li Guang. Li Mujia promptly sent it over. Li Guang wanted an immediate response from her. Li Mujia declined to have a relationship with him due to the uncertainty of her future work. Li Guang was about to explain when the sales office of Zizhu Garden called and asked Li Mujia to come and choose a house. Li Mujia couldn't get away, so Li Guang accompanied her to choose a house.

The saleswoman vigorously promoted the high quality of the properties in the community, boasting about the low floor area ratio. Li Guang asked her to explain what floor area ratio meant and clarified that only garden houses could achieve that floor area ratio. The saleswoman was left speechless and had to call others to assist them.

Li Guang canceled his afternoon appointments and took Li Mujia to a club for dinner. Along the way, Mo Dahai repeatedly called him, but Li Guang deliberately ignored his calls. Eventually, he picked up the call and Mo Dahai proposed transferring 5% of his shares and taking full responsibility. Li Guang agreed to resume work on Dawn Tower.

Li Guang's strategic retreat finally achieved the desired result. He was in high spirits and immediately informed Fang Zhou. He also invited Zhao Zong and Jiang Zong to celebrate together. Li Mujia was happy for Li Guang. They drank and toasted, consuming a lot of alcohol. Eventually, both Li Mujia and Li Guang got drunk. Li Guang took Li Mujia to his home, and they fell asleep together in a daze.

The next morning, Li Mujia woke up and found herself in bed with Li Guang. She remembered getting drunk last night and quietly left. Li Guang, who had suffered from chronic insomnia, had slept until 9:30 am. He called Li Mujia, who desperately tried to distance herself from him. Li Guang became furious and in a fit of anger, kicked a table, resulting in a broken bone. Fang Zhou pushed Li Guang in a wheelchair to the company, leaving the employees surprised.

Tian Rong took Li Mujia to Zizhu Garden to choose a house. Li Mujia didn't like the community, but Tian Rong's persuasive tactics were hard to resist. Tian Rong learned that Li Mujia had spent the night with Li Guang, and playfully teased her. The saleswoman recognized Li Mujia and assumed she was causing trouble. Tian Rong quickly changed the subject, and Li Mujia made an excuse to leave. Li Wanbing also came to view the houses and immediately recognized Li Mujia. He asked about Tian Rong's boyfriend, and Li Mujia falsely claimed he was a professor at Peking University, in an attempt to discourage him early on.

Li Wanbing suspected that Tian Rong was single. Li Yang disagreed with Li Wanbing's interest in Tian Rong, which led to a heated argument between the father and son. Li Wanbing left home in frustration. Tian Rong rented one of the rooms to a male programmer who owned a cat. The man was messy and disorganized, leaving the place in a mess. Tian Rong had to clean regularly, but the place would become chaotic again in a matter of days. Tian Rong warned him to be more hygienic, but he remained defiant.

Li Wanbing called Tian Rong for help. She agreed to let him stay overnight and advised him to reconcile with Li Yang the next day. However, Li Wanbing insisted on staying at Tian Rong's place, leading her to seek shelter at Li Mujia's home. Li Wanbing discovered that the water stopped after just twenty minutes of showering, realizing that Tian Rong had bought a small water heater to save money. Annoyed, he complained. Just as Tian Rong was about to sleep, she heard someone interested in Li Mujia's neighboring house. She immediately became alert and went to check it out.

Tian Rong carefully examined the house across from Li Mujia's. She advised Li Mujia to buy it, but Li Mujia couldn't come up with the down payment at the moment. Tian Rong had great confidence in this property and wanted to use all her money to purchase it. Li Mujia accompanied her to negotiate with the landlord, who agreed to give Tian Rong one month to gather the down payment.

Early in the morning, Li Wanbing bought a high-capacity water heater and sent it to Tian Rong. However, Tian Rong wasn't interested in his gesture. Li Wanbing used the opportunity to express his feelings for her, but Tian Rong was preoccupied with the down payment and ignored his advances. She called her mother and borrowed 80,000 yuan, which wasn't enough. She considered selling her luxury watch but hesitated due to the low price offered by the store.

Li Mujia called Li Guang to quickly wrap up the Dawn Tower case and Li Guang arranged to meet her tonight. The investment for the overseas project had been secured, and Li Guang was invited to the groundbreaking ceremony by the American side. Fang Zhou purchased a ticket for Li Guang for tonight's flight. Li Mujia wanted to send a message to decline Li Guang's invitation, but Li Guang preemptively canceled their meeting. Tian Rong thought Li Guang was using a strategy to capture Li Mujia's attention and advised her to take the initiative. Li Mujia had feelings for Li Guang but was afraid to confront them. She vowed to work hard to become an indispensable professional in Li Guang's life.

After much consideration, Tian Rong decided to sell her luxury watch at a reduced price. She was still 15,000 yuan short and considered using her credit card for cash withdrawal. Li Mujia advised her against breaking the law, which infuriated Tian Rong. They had a heated argument, and Tian Rong stormed out in anger. To help Tian Rong, Li Mujia bought the watch from her for 40,000 yuan. Finally, Tian Rong managed to gather the required down payment and was very grateful to Li Mujia.

Li Wanbing transferred 120,000 yuan to Tian Rong. Li Yang soon found out and pressured Li Wanbing to get the money back. Li Wanbing refused, so Li Yang intended to demand money from Tian Rong. Li Wanbing confronted Li Yang, and before leaving, he issued a threat. Tian Rong returned 120,000 yuan to Li Yang and also returned the 2,000 yuan Li Wanbing spent on the water heater.

Li Wanbing visited Tian Rong's home, but she avoided him. He reminded her to take care of herself and not to rush to repay the money. Tian Rong felt warm inside and liked Li Wanbing. However, Li Yang wouldn't accept her, which made her upset. Li Mujia offered kind advice, encouraging her not to miss out on this potential relationship.

Wu Jianqiu asked Li Mujia to accompany her to a school-organized parent-child activity. The three of them worked well together and achieved good results. The following program required introducing their families, and the teacher asked Dou Dou to share. Wang Wei hurriedly arrived, and Dou Dou expressed his love for his parents in front of everyone. Wu Jianqiu felt uneasy about it. Li Yang brought Tian Rong to a real estate event and introduced her to everyone.

After the parent-child activity, Wang Wei forced Wu Jianqiu to give him their suburban villa. She refused, and exposed his infidelity. Wang Wei persisted in bothering Wu Jianqiu. His girlfriend arrived in a rush and started yelling at Wu Jianqiu. Li Mujia pushed the woman away, and Wu Jianqiu didn't want to deal with them. She grabbed Li Mujia and left.

As soon as Li Guang returned to the country, Wang Dongliang called him to have a meal. Li Guang asked Fang Zhou to find an excuse to decline. Wu Jianqiu asked Li Mujia to attend a dinner with Xia, the lawyer. Li Guang couldn't reach Li Mujia by phone, so he personally drove to her workplace and then took her to the restaurant. Xia introduced Li Mujia to Wang Dongliang, who kept pouring alcohol for her. Xia didn't help Li Mujia avoid the drinking and even instigated the situation. Li Mujia was forced to drink several glasses, and Wang Dongliang persisted in urging her to drink more. Li Mujia had to escape to the restroom to vomit. She reluctantly returned to the room, where Wang Dongliang made her drink three more glasses. Just in time, Li Guang arrived to rescue her from the situation.

Wang Dongliang, wearing a smiling face, raised his glass to Li Guang, but Li Guang firmly refused, angrily rebuking him for not giving Li Mujia so much alcohol. He scolded him harshly and then pulled Li Mujia away. Li Mujia thought she could handle this situation, but instead of appreciating it, she complained to Li Guang for causing her trouble and worried that lawyer Xia might hold a grudge against her in the future. Li Guang had to bring up the fact that they had spent the night together after drinking, making Li Mujia declare on the spot that nothing had happened between them, and she wanted a home that Li Guang couldn't provide. In a fit of anger, Li Mujia got out of the car halfway and took a taxi home, leaving Li Guang speechless, not knowing how to respond.

Wang Dongliang repeatedly called to visit Li Guang, but Li Guang didn't want to see him again. Tian Rong was very interested in the Red Plum Garden property and immediately booked a unit. She also persuaded Li Mujia not to miss this opportunity. Li Mujia couldn't resist Tian Rong's persuasion and had to agree. Li Mujia arrived at the law firm early in the morning, and Lawyer Xia repeatedly apologized to her for what happened last night, trying to make amends. Li Mujia didn't pursue the matter any further and just smiled it off, with Fan Huapeng watching everything closely.

Li Guang pondered all night and decided to have a relationship with Li Mujia with marriage as the goal. Li Mujia naturally agreed, wanting to win the lawsuit first. The case for Li Ming Building was successfully completed, and Li Guang and Mo Dahai reached an agreement on equity distribution. The price of Li Ming Building kept rising, and Wu Jianqiu summarized the case. Li Mujia wanted to continue the litigation to secure more economic compensation and social influence for Li Ming Group. Li Guang encouraged her to go for it.

Mo Dahai came to negotiate with Li Guang, who insisted on following the legal process. Mo Dahai guessed that Li Guang was trying to please Li Mujia and put a "losing" label on him. Li Guang clarified that this matter had nothing to do with Li Mujia and advised Mo Dahai to prioritize the company's overall situation. Li Mujia filed a lawsuit against Mo Dahai for infringement in the bidding process. The court adjourned for ten minutes, and Wu Jianqiu kept calling Li Mujia, trying to persuade her to relent. However, Li Mujia ignored the calls, and the court eventually ruled that Mo Da Group had to pay 5.02 million in damages to Li Ming Group.

When Wu Jianqiu rushed to the court, the case had already been decided. Li Guang arrived later to congratulate Li Mujia on her victory, and Wu Jianqiu had to leave. Mo Dahai called Li Guang to complain, as he had agreed to a compensation of only one yuan, but the court ruled 5 million. Li Guang promised to compensate him as soon as possible. Tian Rong had redecorated Li Mujia's place and invited her, Chen Qing, and Gao Chang to visit. She rented the property to a photography studio and lived on the balcony.

Li Guang's decision to offend his partner Mo Dahai for Li Mujia quickly spread in the industry. Wu Jianqiu wanted to clarify the matter for Li Guang, but he felt it was unnecessary. He wanted to be a strong support for Li Mujia. Tian Rong already owned four properties and treated Li Mujia, Chen Qing, and Gao Chang to a lavish meal. Gao Chang received a call from a business partner, informing him of a problem with the design specifications. He rushed back without eating.

Li Guang called Li Mujia for dinner, but she was with Tian Rong at the time. Li Guang wanted to join their dinner, so Li Mujia asked him to come and pick her up. Tian Rong urged Chen Qing to buy a house, but Chen Qing advised her to find someone to marry as soon as possible. Li Mujia intervened. After dinner, Li Guang came to pick up Li Mujia, and their romance began. Li Guang took Li Mujia to the riverside, gave her a boat and a necklace, and personally put it on her. They had endless sweet words for each other.

While Li Mujia and Li Guang were sleeping, Tian Rong suddenly called Li Mujia. Beijing had implemented a property purchase restriction policy, and people without local hukou had to pay five years of social security in the local area. Li Mujia was only one year short, and she had lost her eligibility to buy a house overnight. Fortunately, Tian Rong had helped her with the online signing. Li Guang kindly advised her to take a day off and enjoy herself, but Li Mujia didn't want to miss work.

Tian Rong took Li Mujia to the property sales office to try to negotiate, but the property purchase restriction policy was strict, and they had to give up. The policy led to a slight decrease in property prices, and Tian Rong was under pressure to repay her loans. She thought about selling one of her properties to ease the situation, but the potential buyer kept haggling. Li Mujia took out the money she had saved to buy a house and helped Tian Rong through the difficult situation.

Li Wanbing came to see Tian Rong and learned that she had rented the property to a photography studio, leaving herself only a large balcony. When Tian Rong returned home from work, Li Wanbing claimed that he had fallen out with his father, Li Yang, and hoped that Tian Rong could accommodate him. Tian Rong had set up a bunk bed on the balcony, so Li Wanbing moved in. Li Mujia brought freshly baked bread to Tian Rong, who quickly closed the curtains, fearing that she might see Li Wanbing.

Li Mujia brought bread to Tian Rong and discovered that Li Wanbing and Tian Rong were sleeping in bunk beds. She immediately understood the situation, didn't want to disturb them, and quickly found an excuse to leave. Tian Rong advised Li Wanbing to return home tomorrow, but Li Wanbing firmly refused. He loved the current situation and wanted to live carefree days with Tian Rong. He even mentioned wanting to have three children, but Tian Rong wouldn't allow such talk, although secretly, she was delighted.

Li Wanbing woke up early, bought breakfast, and then woke Tian Rong up. Once again, Tian Rong urged him to go home and apologize to his father. Li Wanbing expressed his love for her, and Tian Rong readily accepted. Wu Jianqiu escorted her daughter to school, and her classmate Mao Mao's mom, Lin Xiaoyue, asked for her help in a divorce case. Wu Jianqiu assigned this case to Li Mujia, who had never handled such a case before. Wu Jianqiu believed in her abilities.

Lin Xiaoyue's husband was Wang Dongliang, the head of Humming Aluminum Industry. He used the company's debt as an excuse for divorce. Lin Xiaoyue didn't want a divorce and had been a homemaker after marriage. Wang Dongliang gave her a monthly allowance of 30,000 yuan. Li Mujia and Wu Jianqiu went to learn about the situation from Lin Xiaoyue. She was emotionally unstable, suspected Wang Dongliang of having an affair, and presented a recorded phone call as evidence. Li Mujia promised to do her best to help.

The down payment for Red Plum Garden had to be paid, but they couldn't sell the property immediately. Tian Rong had to borrow money from various sources. She called Wang Yuan Yuan, who was pregnant and didn't have money at hand. Li Yang found Tian Rong at the store and reminded her to pay the deposit. He made some derogatory remarks and left, leaving Tian Rong speechless.

After work, Wu Jianqiu returned home and saw Wang Wei playing games with his girlfriend while taking care of Duoduo. She was furious and asked the nanny to take Duoduo back to the room to sleep. Wu Jianqiu demanded that Wang Wei change Duoduo's custody arrangement, but Wang Wei came up with various excuses to avoid it. Wu Jianqiu forced them to leave, and she called Li Mujia for help. She planned to move to a suburban villa with Duoduo and asked for Li Mujia's assistance in renting out her current apartment.

Li Wanbing bought food and brought it to Tian Rong, even helping her with the laundry. Tian Rong enjoyed the meal while Li Mujia came to ask for help in renting a property, playfully teasing them both. Li Yang suddenly called Tian Rong, offering to help with the down payment on the condition that she leaves Li Wanbing. However, Tian Rong firmly refused.

Li Guang came to pick up Li Mujia, and during the conversation, Li Mujia casually mentioned Tian Rong's difficulties. Li Guang suggested hiring a bounty hunter to help Tian Rong. Tian Rong immediately offered a generous reward, promising 50,000 yuan to anyone who could help her sell the house. Li Yang saw this message and was eager to try his luck.

Lin Xiaoyue obtained the financial statements of Humming Aluminum Industry through someone's help, but Li Mujia immediately saw that they were fake. They staked out at the company and noticed a continuous stream of trucks delivering goods, with an annual turnover of more than five million. Lin Xiaoyue realized that she had been deceived. Li Mujia promised to gather evidence for her and fight for a 5 million compensation. Lin Xiaoyue worried that Wang Dongliang couldn't come up with the money, but Li Mujia, upon learning that Wang Dongliang was the one who had made her drink excessively, vowed to help Lin Xiaoyue win the case.

Wang Dongliang visited Li Guang but was turned away. He had to seek help from Wu Jianqiu and asked Li Mujia to intercede with Li Guang. Wu Jianqiu had no respect for Wang Dongliang's actions and advised him to give up. Li Mujia reported Lin Xiaoyue's case to Wu Jianqiu, who encouraged her to fight the lawsuit.

Li Wanbing took Tian Rong out for a Western meal and reminded her not to sacrifice herself too much. Tian Rong was in a hurry to secure the down payment and left without eating in frustration. Tian Rong was determined to sell the house and took clients to view it during working hours, much to her manager's displeasure. She successfully closed a deal with a client on the spot.

Li Wanbing returned home to confront his father, Li Yang. As soon as he entered the house, he overheard his father on the phone. Li Yang had hired Huang Jianjun to pretend to be a buyer and had made a deal with Tian Rong regarding the sale of her house. Li Yang planned to delay the payment to Tian Rong and return the house to her once the down payment period for Hong Mei Yuan had passed. He was even willing to pay a penalty to break Li Wanbing and Tian Rong apart. Li Wanbing discreetly left the house to call Tian Rong. However, when he was about to tell her the truth, he hesitated and didn't reveal the full situation to her.

Tian Rong had arranged with Huang Jianjun to make the down payment next Monday, and the final deadline for Hong Mei Yuan was on Tuesday. She would be able to use the proceeds from selling her house to make the down payment. Feeling ecstatic, she bought a large bag of snacks to share with Li Wanbing. Coincidentally, Li Mujia returned from work at that moment. Li Wanbing asked Li Mujia to help review the property purchase contract. Li Mujia felt that the 5,000 yuan down payment was too low and advised Tian Rong to have Huang Jianjun raise the penalty to 120,000 yuan.

Tian Rong called Huang Jianjun early in the morning to explain the situation. However, Huang Jianjun firmly refused and insisted on following the contract terms. Tian Rong sensed Huang Jianjun's indifference and worried that he might back out. She had no choice but to seek help from Li Mujia. Li Yang came urgently to hold Tian Rong accountable, and Li Wanbing was detained for getting into a fight. Li Yang warned Tian Rong not to provoke Li Wanbing again.

Lin Xiaoyue had suffered humiliation from Wang Dongliang and came to Li Mujia to vent her grievances. She requested a compensation of one million yuan and a quick divorce from Wang Dongliang. Li Mujia advised her not to expect Wang Dongliang to yield and promised to gather evidence promptly. Mo Dahai approached Li Guang for negotiations, aiming to invest 30 billion yuan in Li Ming Building. Li Guang invited Li Mujia to have lunch with them, but she was too busy with work. When Li Guang learned that Li Mujia was at the construction site, he personally went there to find her. Li Mujia couldn't refuse his warm invitation and agreed to have lunch together.

With only three days left until the deadline for the down payment at Hong Mei Yuan, Tian Rong couldn't reach Huang Jianjun by phone, causing her great anxiety. She explained the situation, suspecting that Li Yang was interfering. After a luxurious sushi meal, Li Mujia casually mentioned Lin Xiaoyue's divorce. Li Guang vowed never to disappoint her. Just as Tian Rong felt helpless, Fan Huapeng called her and criticized her for borrowing money from his friends. Tian Rong had borrowed money from various sources to make the down payment, which was her last resort.

After dinner, Li Mujia packed sushi for Tian Rong to take home. Unexpectedly, Tian Rong asked her to borrow 700,000 yuan from Li Guang. Li Mujia was reluctant to involve Li Guang in financial matters, and Tian Rong offered to transfer the ownership of the Hong Mei Yuan house to her in exchange. Li Mujia still hesitated. Tian Rong poured out her grievances, revealing that both of her previous boyfriends had broken up with her due to financial reasons. Now, she was sacrificing everything to buy a house to prove herself. Li Mujia believed that Tian Rong's efforts were misguided, and they ended up arguing and parting ways.

From that day on, Li Mujia and Tian Rong avoided each other. The loan shark approached Tian Rong, claiming that a friend had recommended him. Tian Rong was puzzled but desperate for money, so she didn't ask too many questions. Li Mujia borrowed 700,000 yuan from Wu Jianqiu and learned about her intention to help Tian Rong with the down payment. Wu Jianqiu advised her to think carefully, emphasizing that Tian Rong was her best friend. Wu Jianqiu transferred the money to her on the spot.

Tian Rong used the loaned money to make the down payment. Li Mujia called her to transfer more money, but Tian Rong politely declined. Soon after, Tian Rong successfully obtained the property deed. She felt a mix of emotions and was invited into a newly opened beauty salon for a makeover. Tian Rong reluctantly agreed and couldn't help but reminisce about the good times she had shared with Li Mujia. Now, they were like strangers, and Tian Rong felt uncomfortable about it.

Li Guang took Li Mujia to attend a gathering with old friends, where they enjoyed themselves and discussed the prospects of the real estate industry. Li Mujia gained valuable insights.

Li Wanbing heard from the phone conversation that Li Yang was scheming against Tian Rong. He went to negotiate with Huang Jianjun, asking him to cancel the deal with Tian Rong. However, when Huang Jianjun was asked about it, he pretended not to know and responded disrespectfully to Li Wanbing. In frustration, Li Wanbing scolded him severely and ended up being detained.

The photography studio business was not doing well, and the owner wanted to sublet the extra room. Tian Rong needed to find another tenant. Tian Rong and Li Mujia continued their cold war, neither willing to initiate a conversation. When Tian Rong heard that Li Mujia was working late and returning home, she thought about reconciling with her but ultimately refrained. Tian Rong noticed that Li Mujia had left her keys hanging on the door and quietly took them, only to return them the next morning. Li Mujia suspected it was Tian Rong's doing.

Wang Dongliang stopped providing living expenses to Lin Xiaoyue. Lin Xiaoyue blamed Li Mujia for everything and wanted to complain about her to the Lawyer Association. Li Mujia accompanied her to a beauty salon and a gym to get refunds. The owners made various excuses, but Li Mujia used the contracts to press the issue, and they eventually agreed to refunds. Lin Xiaoyue received over 50,000 yuan from two cards, temporarily relieving her financial crisis. She vowed not to divorce Wang Dongliang until she received 5 million yuan.

When Wang Dongliang learned that Lin Xiaoyue had appointed Li Mujia as her legal representative, he became concerned. He personally went to apologize to Li Guang, and Li Guang advised him not to divorce. Wang Dongliang had no choice but to admit that his extramarital girlfriend was pregnant. Li Guang regretted investing in Wang Dongliang's company and feared that his divorce would affect the company's IPO. Li Guang and Wu Jianqiu discussed making Wang Dongliang compensate more.

Wang Dongliang picked up Mao Mao from school, helped him with homework, and played games with him to make Mao Mao happy. Lin Xiaoyue didn't know what Wang Dongliang was up to and called Li Mujia for help. Li Mujia reminded her not to give in and not to be deceived by Wang Dongliang's sweet words. Wang Dongliang apologized to Lin Xiaoyue, claiming that the company was facing difficulties, the funding was cut off, and he didn't want to burden her and Mao Mao, so he reluctantly proposed divorce. Lin Xiaoyue believed him, and Wang Dongliang suggested divorcing but not leaving the house, offering her a 1 million yuan allowance for household expenses. Li Mujia reminded Lin Xiaoyue not to fall for it, but she had already been deceived by Wang Dongliang's words.

Landlord Lao Zhou wanted to sell the house to pay off his son's debt and was willing to pay a penalty fee to Li Mujia. Li Mujia needed time to find another house, and Tian Rong tried to persuade Lao Zhou to give Li Mujia more time. However, Lao Zhou urgently needed money, so Li Mujia had to move out quickly. Li Mujia rented an apartment for 10,000 yuan a month in Jinlong Bay. She packed her things and bid farewell to Tian Rong. Li Mujia finally moved into her dream home but lost her good friend Tian Rong. She couldn't help but confide in Chen Qing.

Li Guang returned from a business trip and learned that Li Mujia had moved to the Jinlong Bay neighborhood where he lived. He immediately went to see her. They both expressed their longing for each other. However, Li Guang had to rush to a company meeting and said a hurried goodbye to Li Mujia. After the meeting, Li Guang took Li Mujia out for dinner. On the way, a big truck unloading goods blocked their path, and the owner, in a bad mood, spoke rudely to them. Instead of getting angry, Li Guang patiently waited until the goods were completely unloaded. Li Mujia was surprised to discover this side of Li Guang, who was usually competitive and assertive. During their conversation, Li Guang advised her not to take the divorce case involving Lin Xiaoyue.

Tomorrow, an inmate named Lao Geng, who shared a cell with Li Wanbing, would be released. Li Wanbing asked him to make a phone call to Tian Rong, pretending that he had gone on a trip. Lao Geng advised him to tell Tian Rong the truth, but Li Wanbing didn't want Tian Rong to worry. Tian Rong was waiting downstairs, pressing Huang Jianjun to honor the contract. Huang Jianjun, infuriated, revealed that Li Wanbing had been detained for beating him up. Tian Rong hurriedly went to the police station to inquire but learned nothing.

Wang Dongliang falsely claimed that the company's financial situation had deteriorated, and he had no choice but to choose divorce. He did it to avoid burdening Lin Xiaoyue and Mao Mao. Wang Dongliang promised Lin Xiaoyue 2 million yuan and a monthly allowance of 30,000 yuan. Wang Dongliang, using his silver tongue, managed to deceive Lin Xiaoyue, who agreed to the divorce. Li Mujia advised Lin Xiaoyue not to believe Wang Dongliang's lies, but Lin Xiaoyue didn't want to investigate further. She had been a homemaker after marriage, and even if she found a job, she couldn't guarantee earning 30,000 yuan per month. Li Mujia couldn't convince her, so she had to draft a divorce agreement for her.

The more Li Mujia thought about it, the more she felt that something was off about Lin Xiaoyue's divorce case. She couldn't figure out what was wrong and eventually decided not to dwell on it anymore, following Xing Xiaofei's advice to respect the wishes of both parties in divorce cases.

Chen Qing brought several boxes of steak to Tian Rong, pretending that it was a company welfare package that they couldn't finish. Since Chen Qing's home was far away, it took a 40-minute taxi ride to deliver the steaks. However, the steaks miraculously remained uncooked. Tian Rong suspected that Li Mujia had sent them and coincidentally noticed a job posting for a surveillance operator at Jinlong Bay neighborhood. She promptly applied, hoping to get closer to Li Mujia.

Tian Rong successfully secured the position of a surveillance operator at Jinlong Bay neighborhood. She saw Li Mujia leaving work very late, even dozing off in the elevator, which made her feel sorry for her. As soon as Lao Geng was released, he called Tian Rong and falsely claimed that Li Wanbing had gotten into a fight in detention and was leading a difficult life. Tian Rong had no money but managed to gather 360 yuan to give to Lao Geng, asking him to buy some food for Li Wanbing.

While walking and talking on the phone, Tian Rong was suddenly struck by an approaching car. The female driver offered to take her to the hospital, and Tian Rong asked for 2,000 yuan as compensation. The female driver called her boyfriend, who turned out to be Fan Huapeng. Tian Rong quickly recognized him from a distance and hid. Fan Huapeng, suspecting that his girlfriend was being deceived, managed to persuade her, and they left together. Watching Fan Huapeng and his girlfriend walk away, Tian Rong couldn't help but shed tears.

Tian Rong went to the ATM to deposit money, but the machine swallowed her money. She shouted for help, and bank staff and police officers arrived promptly. From the police, Tian Rong learned that Li Wanbing had not been involved in any fights and was released today. She waited at the detention center for Li Wanbing, who was surprised and relieved to see her. Li Wanbing criticized her for falling for his deception and, upon noticing Tian Rong's injury from the accident, rushed home to dress her wound.

Li Yang came with his household registration book to sever his father-son relationship with Li Wanbing. Tian Rong tried to mediate, but Li Yang verbally attacked her. Li Wanbing forcefully sent Li Yang away. Li Guang showed interest in the Ziyi Garden project and took Li Mujia to Shanghai to negotiate with the founder, Hu Zong. Li Mujia noticed in Hu Zong's personal information that he was divorced and became worried that his ex-wife might cause trouble. Li Guang immediately called Fang Zhou to check Hu Zong's marital status.

Fang Zhou quickly found out that Hu Zong had divorced six months ago, and his ex-wife had gone to the United States for further studies, unaware of his 500 million yuan investment. Li Mujia called her and revealed that Hu Zong had secured a 500 million yuan investment without his ex-wife's knowledge. Li Mujia analyzed two possibilities: either Hu Zong lacked confidence in the project and divorced his wife to avoid potential issues, or he had great confidence in the Ziyi Garden project and divorced to start anew. Li Guang decided to cancel the meeting with Hu Zong the next day and took Li Mujia to a bar for relaxation.

Li Wanbing accompanied Tian Rong to the hospital for a dressing change, and they went to a local food stall together, where Li Wanbing enjoyed a hearty meal. Following the divorce agreement drafted by Li Mujia, Lin Xiaoyue divorced Wang Dongliang. She immediately called Li Mujia, who reminded her to closely monitor any financial changes in Wang Dongliang's affairs and be prepared to appeal if needed. Lin Xiaoyue followed Li Mujia's advice. Meanwhile, Li Guang and Wu Jianqiu discussed their plan to invest in Wang Dongliang's company secretly after Lin Xiaoyue's divorce.

During Li Mujia's business trip to Shanghai, she managed to salvage economic losses for Li Guang. She received commendation from the department head, and the director asked her to share her experience. In front of everyone, Li Mujia thanked Wu Jianqiu for her support and assistance. Wu Jianqiu arranged a separate office for Li Mujia, and team members gave her gifts. Li Mujia treated them to a meal as a token of appreciation.

Li Guang entrusted all the merger and acquisition projects of the Li Ming Group to Wu Jianqiu and her team. Wu Jianqiu reminded Li Mujia to separate her personal and professional life and to think carefully before making decisions. Jiang Tao, the founder of Damu Fund, wanted to invest in the Li Ming Group and build Li Ming Towers in major cities. Li Guang took Li Mujia to meet Jiang Tao. In advance, Li Mujia used her lucky coin to calculate the outcome, but things didn't go as expected. Li Guang was determined to go against the odds.

When Li Guang took Li Mujia to meet Jiang Tao, Jiang Tao intended to invest 30 billion yuan in the Li Ming Group. Li Guang promised the net profit of the first three years and agreed to pay an 8% penalty if the terms weren't met. He also made it clear that Jiang Tao couldn't change the management structure of the Li Ming Group. Jiang Tao insisted on the Li Ming Group pledging its equity as compensation, but Li Guang refused outright. Jiang Tao couldn't make the final decision and called the shareholders for consultation. Ten minutes later, Jiang Tao conveyed the board's decision to Li Guang, accepting his terms. Tian Rong and Li Wanbing went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain their marriage certificate. They happily went to a restaurant to celebrate, pledging to love each other for a lifetime.

Jiang Tao invited Li Mujia and Li Guang to his home for dinner. His wife, Awen, personally cooked for them. Jiang Tao showed Li Mujia his collection of antiques for her to examine. Li Mujia had considerable knowledge in this area and spoke confidently about the items. Awen casually asked Li Guang about the overseas investment in Hongda Aluminum by the International Department. Li Guang quickly changed the subject.

Li Mujia explained the situation to Li Guang, and she realized that Li Guang had secretly invested 30 million yuan in Hongda Aluminum without informing her. She felt quite uncomfortable about it, so she remained silent and ate her meal with a sullen expression. On the way home, Li Mujia questioned Li Guang about using her without her knowledge. They argued all the way.

Tian Rong saw Li Guang and Li Mujia arguing on the surveillance cameras but was relieved when she saw them return home together. As soon as Li Mujia got home, she vented all her pent-up frustrations on Li Guang. Li Guang clarified that he didn't know about Wang Dongliang's divorce plans when he invested in Hongda Aluminum. Li Mujia wanted to inform Lin Xiaoyue about Wang Dongliang's 30 million yuan investment, but Li Guang was concerned that it would affect Hongda Aluminum's ability to go public if Lin Xiaoyue withdrew her capital. They ended up having a heated argument and parted ways.

Li Mujia insisted on telling Lin Xiaoyue, and Li Guang immediately called an emergency meeting with the investment department to discuss a strategy.

Wu Jianqiu advised Li Mujia to separate her personal and professional life, suggesting that acting out of impulse might lead to mutual losses. She also mentioned that Lin Xiaoyue might be aware of the situation but pretending not to know.

Li Mujia met with Lin Xiaoyue and revealed Wang Dongliang's 30 million yuan investment before his divorce. Lin Xiaoyue admitted that she knew about it long ago, as well as Wang Dongliang's extramarital affair. Lin Xiaoyue asked Li Mujia to keep it a secret, hoping to let Wang Dongliang expand his business before taking legal action. Li Mujia wanted to remind Li Guang not to invest further, but her professional ethics as a lawyer prevented her from doing so. She found herself in a dilemma.

Li Guang and the investment department decided to withdraw their investment in Hongda Aluminum. Wu Jianqiu apologized to Li Guang for the situation.

Li Wanbing and Tian Rong asked a tenant in their photography studio to take their wedding photos. They looked very happy, and the tenant, whose business was struggling, even returned the master bedroom to them. Sitting by the window and admiring the lights outside, Tian Rong was filled with mixed emotions, finally having her own partner. Li Wanbing found a job through a friend's recommendation and promised to use the money to pay for their wedding photos. Tian Rong was content with their current life.

Early in the morning, Tian Rong helped Li Wanbing put on a suit and advised him to work diligently. Li Wanbing took a taxi to Zhao Aochai's shop in the technology park. His colleagues were moving computer equipment, and Li Wanbing accidentally tore the sleeve of his suit while trying to help. Zhao Aochai was very displeased, but when he learned that Li Wanbing was skilled in assembling computers, he asked him to work with two relatives. They gave Li Wanbing orders and instructions, and he complained about it to Tian Rong.

Gao Chang earned his first bucket of gold and accompanied Chen Qing back to their hometown. Li Mujia bought her mother a new phone and a gold bracelet. When her mother received the new phone, she immediately called Li Mujia, advising her not to spend money recklessly and to save up for a house. Li Mujia agreed, and her mother asked Chen Qing about Li Mujia's current situation. Chen Qing came up with a vague excuse to brush off the questions. Li Mujia secretly sent a box of seafood to Tian Rong, as she had noticed that Tian Rong was feeling down on the surveillance cameras.

Li Guang and Li Mujia had a falling out over the Hongda Aluminum investment. Li Guang decided to cut his losses and stop investing in Wang Dongliang's Hongda Aluminum promptly. This decision left Wang Dongliang stunned. He suspected that Lin Xiaoyue had leaked information to Li Mujia and went home to confront her.

Li Guang wanted to reconcile with Li Mujia but felt embarrassed. He lingered outside Li Mujia's house. Tian Rong saw Li Guang on the surveillance cameras and rushed to find him, hoping he would treat Li Mujia kindly. Li Mujia received a distress call from Lin Xiaoyue and immediately went downstairs. She coincidentally encountered Li Guang. Upon learning that Wang Dongliang had been physically abusing Lin Xiaoyue, Li Guang accompanied Li Mujia to Lin Xiaoyue's home.

Wang Dongliang had physically assaulted Lin Xiaoyue, leaving her with bruises and injuries. Li Mujia and Li Guang arrived in time, and Wang Dongliang tried to explain that he had acted impulsively. He claimed to have a romantic relationship with Lin Xiaoyue. Li Guang severely reprimanded Wang Dongliang and made it clear that the withdrawal of the second investment was unrelated to Lin Xiaoyue. Li Guang had lost confidence in Wang Dongliang due to his questionable character, including falsifying accounts for divorce and resorting to violence against Lin Xiaoyue.

Li Mujia advised Lin Xiaoyue to get a medical examination and hold Wang Dongliang accountable legally. The police arrived shortly after to question Wang Dongliang, who pleaded with Lin Xiaoyue, but she ignored him. Li Guang and Li Mujia left, and Li Mujia realized she had misunderstood Li Guang. She apologized to him, and they reconciled. Li Mujia gathered the courage to propose to Li Guang and expressed her desire to have a home with him. She even suggested signing a prenuptial agreement, wanting to be with him for life. Touched by her words, Li Guang had already prepared an engagement ring and proposed to her on the spot. Li Mujia was deeply moved, and Li Guang placed the ring on her finger.

Li Mujia took Li Guang to an arcade to relax. A young boy challenged Li Mujia in a game, with Li Guang providing guidance. They eventually emerged victorious. Li Guang suggested to Li Mujia that she resign and join the Li Ming Group to work with him, but she politely declined. Li Guang also offered to buy a house for Li Mujia, but she firmly refused, pledging to establish herself independently in Beijing.

At Zhao Aochai's shop, he was absent for some reason, and his two relatives showed a lack of enthusiasm for work. Li Wanbing continued to work diligently but faced criticism and ridicule from the two relatives. A customer came in wanting to build a gaming computer for 5,000 yuan, and the relatives, not understanding the business, made promises to the customer. Li Wanbing advised the customer not to trust their words and recommended spending an additional 10,000 yuan to improve the configuration; otherwise, the computer would be incapable of gaming. The customer, upset, went to another store. Zhao Aochai believed his relatives' attempts to sow discord and immediately fired Li Wanbing, who asked for a week's worth of wages.

Lin Xiaoyue decided to return to her hometown with her daughter, Mao Mao. Before leaving, she bid farewell to Li Mujia and Wu Jianqiu. Lin Xiaoyue reminded Li Mujia and Li Guang to be cautious in their relationship to avoid hurting themselves. Li Mujia firmly believed she could handle it. Mo Dahai was displeased with Li Guang's withdrawal from the investment, but Li Guang believed that Hongda Aluminum had limited potential and advised Mo Dahai to broaden his horizons.

Li Wanbing handed over his salary to Tian Rong, who encouraged him to work diligently. Li Wanbing kept his dismissal a secret. Dr. Zhang Dazhuang unexpectedly called Tian Rong, expressing interest in renting her guest room. Tian Rong was about to leave for Jinlong Bay for a part-time job but rushed home to accommodate Zhang Dazhuang. While Li Wanbing helped a friend assemble a computer, Tian Rong settled Zhang Dazhuang.

Chen Qing visited Li Mujia upon returning from her hometown and inquired curiously about Li Mujia's love life. Li Mujia was open about it and agreed to have dinner with Chen Qing and Li Guang next Monday. Early in the morning, as Tian Rong prepared to leave for work, her mother unexpectedly visited. Tian Rong had not yet informed her parents about obtaining a marriage certificate. She woke up Li Wanbing and hid him along with their wedding photos in Zhang Dazhuang's room.

Li's mother suddenly showed up, and Tian Rong hid Li Wanbing in Zhang Dazhuang's room. Li's mother introduced a potential match for Tian Rong, but Tian Rong made up excuses to evade the topic. Li's mother explored the house and noticed male belongings everywhere. She advised Tian Rong not to live with men, so Tian Rong had to admit that she lived with Zhang Dazhuang.

Li's mother barged into a room and found Li Wanbing and Zhang Dazhuang together, suspecting an improper relationship. Tian Rong had to confess that Li Wanbing was her boyfriend. Li's mother was furious and scolded Li Wanbing. Tian Rong showed them their wedding photos and marriage certificate, confirming that they were legally married. Li's mother was left dumbfounded. Li Wanbing tried to win her over, and Li's mother hoped that he would treat Tian Rong well. Li Wanbing promised, and Li's mother accepted him. Before leaving for her hometown, Li's mother gave Li Wanbing a generous red envelope. Touched, Li Wanbing vowed to love Tian Rong forever. Li's mother planned to have both families meet after her husband returned from a business trip to discuss their marriage.

Wu Jianqiu initiated the dispute case between Huaran Realty and Longxu Stone Factory, providing her team with a detailed overview. Five years ago, the debtor Tang Hu ran Yannan Xinda Trading Company, and five years later, he operated Longxu Stone Factory, with his brother Tang Long as the legal representative. Wu Jianqiu assigned the case to Lu Bing and Jin Lei. Lai Ming Group had recently identified several companies, and Wu Jianqiu asked Li Mujia to screen them.

Li Wanbing concealed his dismissal from Tian Rong and handed over one month's salary as promised, making Tian Rong happy. Lai Ming Group had invested in a project in Shenzhen, which had to be temporarily put on hold due to land issues. However, the project's investment promotion had already been completed, and Lai Ming Group faced significant breach of contract compensation. Li Guang sent people to negotiate with the contracted customers to reduce rent and offset the compensation. Li Guang personally went to Macau to negotiate with the largest merchant, Kamon Department Store.

Gao Chang and Chen Qing hosted a class reunion and invited Li Mujia and Li Guang to attend. Li Guang couldn't make it due to other commitments. Chen Qing and Gao Chang publicly announced that they had obtained their marriage certificate. Their classmates congratulated them, and Li Mujia learned that they had reported the good news to their parents in their hometown. She was happy for them and wished them a lifetime of happiness.

Li Mujia called Li Guang, but his phone was unreachable. She sent him a message instead. Mr. Jin suggested a gamble to Li Guang, who wasn't interested at first. Mr. Jin proposed using the breach of contract compensation as a bet, and Li Guang agreed to use all the merchants' compensation for the gamble. Li Guang and Mr. Jin made the bet, with Li Guang losing badly. He instructed Fang Zhou to use his own account's money to pay Mr. Jin.

Li Guang called Li Mujia to express his longing for her and asked her to sing for him. Li Mujia sang the song "Farewell," and Li Guang listened to her soothing voice, finding comfort in it. However, when Li Mujia sensed that something was wrong with Li Guang, she immediately flew to Shenzhen. Li Guang returned to Beijing and headed straight to Li Mujia's house, only to find out that she was already in Shenzhen. Li Mujia asked him to wait at home while she rushed back to Beijing by plane.

Li Guang received a call from Fang Zhou and learned that there was trouble again in Shenzhen. Without hesitation, he rushed back to Shenzhen. When Li Mujia landed, she received a message from Li Guang, and once again, they missed each other. Seeing Li Mujia looking downcast and sad in the elevator, Tian Rong used the elevator's emergency intercom to check on her. However, Li Mujia didn't recognize Tian Rong's voice. That night, Tian Rong called the manager and put their eastern property up for sale.

Unable to reach Li Mujia by phone, Tian Rong visited her early in the morning. She found Li Mujia sleeping on the couch and comforted her. Li Mujia was deeply infatuated with Li Guang and couldn't break free from her emotions. She felt that Li Guang was acting strangely, but Tian Rong advised her not to jump to conclusions. Li Guang quickly understood the situation. Upon hearing that the construction company had stopped work and incited workers to protest due to project issues, he instructed Fang Zhou to handle it.

Li Guang suddenly sent a message to Li Mujia, expressing his desire to marry her when he returns. Li Mujia was overjoyed, and Tian Rong was also happy for her. With the Beijing property market booming, Tian Rong insisted on selling the house against her manager's advice. She wanted to repay Li Mujia as soon as possible so that she could buy a house of her own before marriage. Li Mujia advised her not to rush, but Tian Rong was impatient. She listed the property with various real estate agencies, asked the tenant who ran a photography studio to move out immediately, and compensated them for breaking the lease. Tian Rong and Li Wanbing cleaned the house thoroughly to get a good price.

After returning from a business trip in Shenzhen, Li Guang visited Li Mujia first. He even bought her Guangzhou-style roast goose. Li Mujia enjoyed the meal, and they exchanged endless affectionate words. Tian Rong worked tirelessly and finally sold the house. She worked at a real estate agency during the day and manned the surveillance room at Jinlong Bay at night. She quickly learned about each homeowner's situation, and the property management praised her, suggesting she work at the command center. Tian Rong repaid Li Mujia and advised her to buy a house before marriage. Tian Rong revealed that she and Li Wanbing had already registered their marriage, which made Li Mujia happy for them.

Li Guang was interested in the Mochou Garden project and asked Li Mujia to accompany him to negotiate with its founder, Lin Da. At first sight, Li Mujia recognized Lin Da as Gao Chang's college classmate, whom they had met at Chen Qing and Gao Chang's wedding. Lin Da showed Li Guang and Li Mujia around the garden he had designed. Li Mujia was deeply impressed by his romantic and dreamy designs. Wu Jianqiu tried to convince Li Mujia to withdraw from the Mochou Garden project to avoid suspicion, but Li Mujia said she would consult Li Guang first. Wu Jianqiu advised Li Mujia not to let her emotions cloud her judgment. Li Mujia suspected that Li Guang was behind this, and Li Guang noticed that Lin Da's gaze towards Li Mujia was inappropriate, so he asked her to withdraw from the project.

The manager heard that Li Yang had sold three properties through the adjacent real estate agency. She blamed Tian Rong for the situation, saying that she shouldn't have offended Li Yang. Tian Rong guessed that Li Yang wanted to visit the new real estate developments in the suburbs and was determined to find more customers. She worked tirelessly, day and night, organizing property listings. Li Guang wanted to spend the New Year with Li Mujia and asked her mother for her hand in marriage, to which she naturally agreed.

Tian Rong brought clients to see the house, and Li Yang also brought friends to the sales office. Li Yang kept finding faults with Tian Rong, who tried to avoid him. Li Yang, out of anger, severed his father-son relationship with Li Wanbing and asked Tian Rong to take care of him. Li Yang's agitation led to him fainting due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Tian Rong arranged for people to take Li Yang to the hospital. The doctor declared him critically ill due to the cerebral hemorrhage, and Li Yang's life was in danger. The doctor issued a critical condition notice, and Li Wanbing rushed to the hospital, painfully signing the consent form for surgery.

Tian Rong called Li Mujia to inform her, and Li Mujia rushed to the hospital. The doctor asked Li Wanbing to make another payment, but Tian Rong voluntarily used the proceeds from selling the house to save Li Yang. Li Wanbing was deeply moved. After comforting Tian Rong, Li Mujia returned to find Li Guang. Li Guang took her to the rooftop restaurant of a new development. The restaurant was named "8584" after Li Mujia's birthday, which moved her to tears.

Tian Rong and her husband came to Beijing for the New Year, helping Tian Rong and Li Wanbing relieve stress. Li Guang went overseas to visit his daughter, Zhaozhao, and arrived at Li Mujia's home before noon on New Year's Eve. He sent Li Mujia home first, prepared generous gifts for her mother, and loaded the trunk with New Year goods. Li Mujia's mother was delighted, and together with Li Mujia, they prepared the New Year's Eve dinner, waiting for Li Guang.

Li Guang traveled across the sea to see his daughter Zhaozhao. However, Zhaozhao was initially unimpressed and accused him of not caring for her. Li Guang explained that he was very busy and expressed his deep fatherly love. Eventually, Zhaozhao broke into a smile.

Li Mujia's mother wanted to invite relatives and friends to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Li Guang. Li Mujia had reserved a five-star hotel, and she went with her mother and second aunt to pre-order dishes. Li Mujia's mother carefully selected several dishes to treat Li Guang. Meanwhile, Li Guang convened a New Year meeting with his colleagues in New York. Jiang Tao arrived late, and he discussed financing with Li Guang for the Zhaode Fund. However, the CEO of the Zhaode Fund was concerned that Li Guang's emotional decisions might affect his work and suggested that Li Guang should not get married yet. If he insisted on getting married, a prenuptial agreement must be signed.

Li Guang, Li Chaochao, and his ex-wife made dumplings together. Chaochao brought her boyfriend Owen for Li Guang to meet. They all had a great time. Chaochao pleaded with Li Guang to stay and celebrate Chinese New Year with them. Li Guang hadn't spent Chinese New Year with Chaochao in many years, so he couldn't bear to refuse. He sent a message to Li Mujia explaining the situation. Li Mujia was shopping for clothes with her mother and second aunt and taking pictures to commemorate the moment. Suddenly, she received a message from Li Guang, and she felt deeply disappointed.

On New Year's Eve, relatives and friends gradually arrived at the restaurant, but Li Guang was still absent. Li Mujia's mother lied, claiming that Li Guang's flight from New York was delayed due to heavy snow. Chen Qing found out that there was no snow in New York and suspected that something was amiss between Li Guang and Li Mujia. Relatives and friends bombarded Li Mujia with questions about Li Guang, leaving her momentarily speechless. Chen Qing quickly intervened, announcing that she was pregnant to divert everyone's attention. Li Mujia and her mother exchanged a bitter smile in response.

Tian Rong and Li Wanbing took care of Li Yang in the hospital. Li Yang's parents made dumplings and sent them over. The couple fed each other dumplings, which warmed their parents' hearts. After the Spring Festival, Li Mujia had to return to work in Beijing. Her mother advised her to take the civil service exam in their hometown and lead a stable life, but Li Mujia insisted on returning to Beijing, causing her mother to worry and advise her repeatedly.

Li Guang returned from the United States and went straight to find Li Mujia. He saw her sitting outside the door, silently shedding tears, and realized that she had forgotten her keys. He had already called someone to come and unlock the door. Li Guang repeatedly explained that he had spent Chinese New Year's Eve with his daughter Chaochao. However, Li Mujia was unimpressed and sensed that something was wrong between them. She guessed that their marriage plans had been shelved. A locksmith arrived to unlock the door and demanded an additional hundred yuan for the service. Li Mujia was already furious and vented her anger on the locksmith. Seeing the situation, Li Guang had no choice but to leave for the time being.

Li Mujia sent a message to Tian Rong that night, expressing her desire to buy a house and have a place of her own. Fang Zhou urgently sought out Li Guang, as the company was facing financial difficulties. If they didn't secure the financing soon, the reputation of Li Ming Plaza would be ruined. Li Guang contemplated resigning, but Fang Zhou advised him not to give up and to consider the welfare of the company's employees.

When Li Guang was in New York, he learned from his ex-wife that Owen was the son of Yao Jiahui, the CEO of the Yao Family Fund. His ex-wife warned him not to seek financing from Yao Jiahui using his daughter's relationship. Li Guang was lost and didn't know which way to go. He recalled how Li Mujia's singing had given him strength when he was in trouble in the past, but now, everything had changed. Li Guang was filled with mixed emotions as he went to confront Li Mujia. He admitted his feelings for her but explained that they couldn't be together. Li Mujia only wanted a home and didn't care about any other responsibilities. In anger, she demanded a breakup.

The financial chain of the Li Ming Group was broken, and Li Guang was held accountable by the board of directors. He remained silent, allowing them to vent their frustrations. Li Mujia instructed Chen Qing to return the ring and necklace to Li Guang, marking the end of their relationship. Li Guang didn't know what to do and could only send her three words: "I'm sorry."

Tian Rong came to deliver food to Li Wanbing, who was holding a debt collection notice in distress. Without a word, Tian Rong went to pay the debt on his behalf, which deeply moved Li Wanbing. He admitted that he had been fired. Tian Rong had already guessed the result, but she didn't expose him. After intense efforts from medical staff, Li Yang finally woke up. A nurse informed Li Wanbing that Li Yang was being transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward. Li Wanbing joyfully cheered.

Wu Jianqiu entrusted the Huaran Group's case to Lu Bing and Jin Lei for full responsibility. Li Mujia unintentionally discovered issues with the case files and immediately called Wu Jianqiu. He asked her to mark the problematic areas, and Li Mujia sent the marked documents to Lu Bing.

Li Wanbing, seeing his father lying weak and frail in the hospital bed, felt deeply guilty. He repeatedly apologized to his father, but Li Yang still couldn't speak. Tian Rong didn't want Li Yang to be further stressed, so after paying the fees, she silently stood at the door of the ward. Li Wanbing thanked Tian Rong profusely. The hospitalization expenses exceeded 300,000 yuan, and Tian Rong had covered it using the proceeds from selling her house. She had always lived frugally, and this time, she willingly did so.

Wu Jianqiu convened a meeting to analyze the Huaran Group case. Lu Bing and Jin Lei briefly reported the investigation results, which included clarifying the financial transactions between Tang Long and Tang Hu. Li Mujia pointed out issues with the case file during the meeting and suspected that Tang Hu had used Tang Long's phone and bank cards. She argued that the evidence was insufficient and suggested an out-of-court settlement. Lu Bing hadn't seen the documents Li Mujia had sent, and this was her first independent case. She hoped Li Mujia wouldn't dampen her spirits. Wu Jianqiu repeatedly advised Li Mujia to settle out of court, but she insisted on going to trial. Lu Bing sarcastically brought up Li Guang spending a lot of money to please Li Mujia. Li Mujia and Lu Bing argued fiercely, and Wu Jianqiu had to intervene, giving Lu Bing a stern reprimand.

Li Mujia went to see Wu Jianqiu to verify her performance and whether her achievements were related to Li Guang. Wu Jianqiu advised her not to believe rumors and to have confidence in her abilities, which somewhat eased Li Mujia's concerns. Li Mujia returned home burdened with worries, and Tian Rong saw something was amiss on the surveillance camera. She rushed to comfort Li Mujia, who sought solace in alcohol and poured out her troubles to Tian Rong. Tian Rong tried hard to cheer her up and suggested that she buy a house of her own. Tian Rong carefully selected several property options and took Li Mujia to visit them. Li Mujia set her sights on a residence in Jinlong Bay, but her funds were insufficient to purchase even the smallest unit. Despite Li Mujia's desire to live in Jinlong Bay, Tian Rong couldn't persuade her to change her mind.

Li Mujia called her mother to come to Beijing and live with her. Her mother took this opportunity to introduce potential suitors to Li Mujia. However, Li Mujia had no interest in dating at the moment, but under her mother's relentless persuasion, she reluctantly agreed.

Tian Rong had arranged to sign a contract with a property owner, but the owner suddenly increased the price by fifty thousand yuan. Li Mujia reluctantly agreed, but the owner seized the opportunity to raise it by eighty thousand yuan. Li Mujia didn't want to deal with them anymore and was willing to pay the penalty to terminate the contract. She was determined to buy a residence in Jinlong Bay, but Tian Rong persistently advised against it.

Li Guang was overseeing the final work for the completion of Li Ming Plaza. Colleagues discussed Li Mujia and Li Guang's breakup. Lawyer Xia tried to persuade Li Mujia to join his team, but she firmly declined. Xia criticized Li Mujia, prompting her to retort in kind.

Lin Da heard that Li Mujia had withdrawn from the Mochou Garden project and invited her and Chen Qing's couple to dinner over the weekend. Li Wanbing took excellent care of Li Yang, and Tian Rong came to deliver food to Li Yang punctually. Li Yang discovered that he had spent over three hundred thousand yuan on hospitalization, and his account hadn't decreased by a single cent. Upon learning that Tian Rong had sold her house to cover his medical expenses, he decided that once he was discharged, he would visit Tian Rong's parents to propose marriage.

Upon their first meeting, Li Mujia's unhappiness was apparent to Lin Da. He warmly invited her to become the Marketing Director at Mochou Garden, and Li Mujia agreed to consider it. After dinner, Lin Da gave Li Mujia a ride home and revealed that Li Guang had invested fifteen million yuan in Mochou Garden. Lin Da once again suggested that Li Mujia join his company, but she politely declined.

A long-time client of the law firm, Mr. Zhang, wanted a divorce and secretly transferred his bonuses to his mother's name. He also asked Li Mujia to join his wife's fitness group to gather information. Li Mujia advised him not to transfer assets and to have a sincere conversation with his wife. However, Mr. Zhang became furious and asked Wu Jianqiu to assign him a different lawyer. Wu Jianqiu reminded Li Mujia not to be too direct when communicating with clients.

After Wu Jianqiu concluded the case analysis meeting, all the online evidence related to Tang Long and Tang Hu was deleted. Colleagues suspected that Li Mujia had tipped them off, and Lu Bing, out of anger, wanted to withdraw from the case. Wu Jianqiu approached Li Mujia to confirm this matter, but Li Mujia vehemently denied it. Because Li Mujia had achieved zero performance this month, she couldn't continue using her independent office. Wu Jianqiu reminded her to move out as soon as possible.

Li Yang called Tian Rong's parents to Beijing to discuss marriage matters and showed them the wedding house he had prepared. Tian Rong took the opportunity to propose paying half of the house's price and having her name on the property certificate. Li Yang was dumbfounded and didn't know how to respond. His parents advised Tian Rong not to be so particular about this small matter, but Tian Rong, determined to assert herself, insisted on contributing money and having her name on the certificate.

Wu Jianqiu entrusted the Huaran Group's case to Li Mujia. Xing Xiaofei advised her not to take on this hot potato, but Li Mujia had made up her mind. Li Mujia's mother once again called to urge her to go on a blind date. Li Mujia reluctantly agreed to the date with Chen Gang, who took her to the "8584" restaurant, a place owned by Li Guang and named after her birthday. Li Mujia was deeply moved by the familiar surroundings, and her emotions were mixed. Chen Gang talked nonstop about himself, but due to extreme fatigue, Li Mujia suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't focus on his words. She wanted to get up and go to the restroom but suddenly fainted.

Tian Rong, Lin Da, Chen Qing, and Gao Chang visited Li Mujia in the hospital one after another. Li Mujia finally regained consciousness and learned that Chen Gang had left because of her sudden illness. She felt relieved. Tian Rong accompanied Li Mujia back home. Li Mujia called Li Wanbing to ask for leave, and Tian Rong teased her about it. Li Guang came to the restaurant to check the accounts and learned from the manager that Li Mujia had fainted there. He immediately called her, but both of them didn't know what to say and just stood there with their phones.

Fan Huapeng heard that Tian Rong was getting married and inquired about her well-being from Li Mujia. Fan Huapeng was pressured by his mother-in-law to buy a house, and he wanted to purchase a property in Hongmei Garden Phase Three. Li Mujia revealed that Tian Rong owned a property in that complex and advised him to contact Tian Rong himself. Li Mujia called Tang Hu and tried to persuade him to reconcile, but Tang Hu refused to answer her calls. Li Mujia wanted to go to Tang County in Gansu to meet Tang Hu in person, so she applied for travel expenses from the law firm. However, due to her poor performance, her request was denied, so she had to pay for it herself.

Li Guang sent Li Mujia a VIP card for the restaurant and reserved a special seat for her. Li Mujia asked the restaurant manager to return the card to Li Guang. Li Mujia finally reached Tang County after a long journey. She missed the last bus to Tang County, so she had to rent a car to get there. Li Mujia drove through the vast desert, and Lin Da called her to suggest she enjoy the view of the orchids. However, Li Mujia's phone had no signal.

Fan Huapeng brought his girlfriend to see a house, and his girlfriend immediately recognized Tian Rong as the person who had extorted 2,000 yuan from her after their accident. She firmly refused to buy a house from Tian Rong, and this made Fan Huapeng unable to explain his dilemma to his mother-in-law. Li Mujia finally arrived in Tang County and began her search for Tang Hu. Lin Da called Li Mujia to inquire about her well-being. Li Mujia was in northwestern China, and Lin Da was concerned. He asked her to keep the phone line open during the trip, but Li Mujia's phone had no signal.

Li Mujia ran into Tang Hu on the road, and she tried to persuade him to settle with the plaintiff. However, Tang Hu firmly refused. Wu Jianqiu negotiated with her supervisor, desperately trying to speak on behalf of Li Mujia. The supervisor proposed that if Li Mujia could successfully handle the Huaran Group case, she could keep her independent office. Li Mujia began squatting at the entrance of the stone factory. Whenever she saw Tang Hu, she ran over to explain the benefits of reconciliation to him. However, Tang Hu remained unyielding. A week passed, and Li Mujia still hadn't convinced Tang Hu. She was at her wit's end. Fan Huapeng brought his girlfriend and mother-in-law to see Tian Rong's house and asked Tian Rong to have it inspected by a reputable agency. However, Tian Rong was busy accompanying Li Yang for rehabilitation treatment, and she grew impatient, telling Fan Huapeng to arrange it himself.

Tian Rong asked Li Yang to add her name to the new house willingly and contribute half of the house payment. Li Yang couldn't refuse and thought that Tian Rong was very astute. He warned Li Wanbing to be cautious of Tian Rong. Li Wanbing could see that Tian Rong was wholeheartedly committed to building a life with him, so he advised his father not to overthink things. Fan Huapeng couldn't resist his mother-in-law's pressure and decided to buy Tian Rong's house. Tian Rong didn't hesitate and rushed back home.

Li Mujia squatted at the entrance of the stone factory every day, but Tang Hu avoided her. Li Mujia couldn't eat or sleep well, and combined with the effects of altitude sickness, she looked disheveled. One day, Tang Hu's naive son was injured, and Li Mujia promptly went to the clinic to check on him. Tang Hu advised Li Mujia to give up, as the stone factory was registered in Tang Long's name, with all the financial transactions and legal responsibilities under Tang Long's name. He was determined not to compensate Huaran Group unless they continued to cooperate. Li Mujia couldn't persuade Tang Hu and left disappointed.

Fan Huapeng's girlfriend disliked Tian Rong's house and had reservations about Tian Rong herself. Fan Huapeng promised to renovate it nicely, and his parents favored the property, so the girlfriend reluctantly agreed. Tian Rong arrived in time to sign the contract with them, but the girlfriend voiced her concerns about Tian Rong's credibility, mentioning a previous incident of extortion. She wanted to complete the property transfer before making the down payment. Tian Rong insisted on following the standard procedures, and the girlfriend continued to mock her. Tian Rong became angry and drove them away, even though Fan Huapeng apologized to Tian Rong before leaving. Tian Rong called Li Wanbing to share her frustrations, and Li Wanbing offered her words of comfort.

Tian Rong called Li Mujia to report her success in driving away Fan Huapeng and his wife. Li Mujia was happy for her but noticed that she looked worn out. She expressed her concern and advised Tian Rong to come back soon. Li Mujia was determined to persuade Tang Hu to reconcile. Li Mujia went to see Tang Hu again and promised to help him make money. Tang Hu handed over the contract from Zhongtai Company for Li Mujia to review.

Tang Hu's Longxu Stone Factory and the rising star Xinwang Stone Factory were competing for a contract. Xinwang's new factory manager was introducing reforms and innovations, making Tang Hu worried that Xinwang might surpass them and snatch the order. Li Mujia recalled Li Guang's explanation of the Sailboat Game Theory and suggested that Tang Hu learn advanced technology from Xinwang. Tang Hu suddenly saw the light.

Li Yang quickly renovated the new house and presented it to Li Wanbing as their marital home. Tian Rong handed over half of the house payment to Li Yang. They moved into their dream residence in the Jinlong Bay community and envisioned a beautiful new life together. Tian Rong's parents arrived shortly after and were eager to host a wedding ceremony for Tian Rong and Li Wanbing. Thanks to the relentless efforts of Tang Hu and Li Mujia, they finally secured the contract from Zhongtai Company. Tang Hu publicly thanked Li Mujia for her significant assistance.

Today was the joyous day of Tian Rong and Li Wanbing's wedding. Li Mujia returned from Tang County and went straight to the wedding venue. She and Tian Rong had agreed to walk down the aisle holding each other's hands. Li Mujia and Tian Rong's father accompanied Tian Rong as she entered the hall. Li Wanbing and Tian Rong completed the wedding ceremony amidst the blessings of friends and family. Li Yang and Tian Rong's parents were all moved to tears. In their vows, Tian Rong and Li Wanbing expressed their true love for each other. Li Mujia was genuinely happy for them and returned the watch to Tian Rong, who gifted her a gold bracelet. Both of them expressed gratitude for each other's companionship.

Chen Qing and Gao Chang attended Tian Rong's wedding and returned home to find Chen Qing's mother waiting at the doorstep. She realized that they were living a hasty life and insisted on staying to take care of the pregnant Chen Qing. Chen Qing was in a tough spot, as she had previously lied about being pregnant to help Li Mujia. Her mother pressured her to take a pregnancy test, but to her surprise, Chen Qing was actually pregnant. Gao Chang celebrated with joy.

Li Mujia handed the reconciliation agreement signed by Tang Hu to Wu Jianqiu. Director Feng praised Li Mujia highly and allowed her to move back to her independent office. Wu Jianqiu felt sorry for Li Mujia, but Li Mujia was not bothered. She was determined to become a great lawyer like Wu Jianqiu. Chen Qing informed Li Mujia of her pregnancy, and Li Mujia rushed to see her after work. Tian Rong tried to persuade Chen Qing to buy a house, providing a stable home for the unborn child. Chen Qing reluctantly admitted that Gao Chang didn't want to buy a house. He was in a period of career growth and didn't want to be tied down by property. Li Mujia had to give up on convincing them. Tian Rong worked in the surveillance room, and Li Wanbing bought her supper and a bouquet of roses. He held up the flowers in the elevator to signal her, and Tian Rong saw him on the surveillance screen, feeling warmly touched.

Lin Da warmly invited Li Mujia to join Mo Chou Gardens, describing a bright future and career prospects, promising her complete freedom and opportunities for growth. Li Mujia was moved by his words.

Li Mujia, Lu Bing, and Fan Huapeng were listed as candidates for partnership. Both Fan Huapeng and Lu Bing were eager, with Wu Jianqiu cheering on Li Mujia. Li Mujia was full of confidence and worked overtime to prepare for the upcoming assessment. The leader from the HR department responsible for assessing Li Mujia had a background in sports. He took Li Mujia for a morning run.

After work, Wu Jianqiu returned home and saw that her son, Dou Dou, was playing games instead of completing his homework. Wu Jianqiu's attempts to persuade him were in vain. She called Wang Wei, who desperately tried to win her favor by claiming he had broken up with Xu Nana. Wu Jianqiu hung up without waiting for him to finish speaking. Wang Wei visited Dou Dou in the morning, but Wu Jianqiu refused to let him in. The nanny took Dou Dou to school, and he ignored Wang Wei. Wang Wei blamed all the responsibility on Wu Jianqiu, and they had a heated argument.

Li Mujia met Xu Nana downstairs early in the morning. Xu Nana had come to settle scores with Wu Jianqiu. Li Mujia took her to a café in the neighborhood to wait for Wu Jianqiu. Wang Wei had disclosed some inside information about Jinda Law Firm to Xu Nana, who used it as leverage to pester him relentlessly. Wang Wei begged Wu Jianqiu to help resolve the situation. Wu Jianqiu was furious and scolded Wang Wei harshly for meddling in their affairs.

Li Mujia called Wu Jianqiu to come to the café, and she rushed over. Xu Nana brought up some sensitive information about Wu Jianqiu secretly helping some influential people, demanding that Wang Wei be returned to her. Wu Jianqiu advised Xu Nana not to have unrealistic expectations of men. Xu Nana left angrily and left a threat behind.

Li Wanbing accompanied Tian Rong for breakfast, and she urged him to find a job as soon as possible. Li Wanbing wanted to rely on his father's money, but Tian Rong firmly disagreed. A lady sitting nearby complained about the complicated procedures of buying and selling houses, and Tian Rong took the initiative to add her on WeChat, offering to assist her anytime. Wu Jianqiu was worried that Xu Nana might create a scene at the law firm, so she preemptively warned Director Feng. Director Feng scolded Xu Nana severely. Wu Jianqiu, feeling indignant, researched Xu Nana's information online and discovered that her study abroad certificate and qualifications were fake. Wu Jianqiu confronted Wang Wei, who advised her not to confront Xu Nana to avoid mutual destruction. Wu Jianqiu was determined to fight Xu Nana to the end, even if it meant leaving the legal profession.

After much consideration, Wu Jianqiu decided to resign and take her son Dou Dou to live abroad in Canada. Before leaving, she bid farewell to Li Mujia, encouraging her to continue working well at the law firm and believing that she would excel. Wu Jianqiu, with Dou Dou, departed for Canada. Wang Wei and Li Mujia came to see them off. Wu Jianqiu asked Li Mujia to take care of the post-departure matters for Wang Wei and hoped that she would find a man who truly loved her. They bid a tearful farewell. Just before boarding the plane, Dou Dou turned around and hugged Wang Wei tightly, deeply moving him.

From Wu Jianqiu, Li Mujia saw a sense of liberation. She arranged a meeting with Xu Nana, who threatened to ruin Wu Jianqiu even if it meant going to jail. Li Mujia advised her to give up because Wu Jianqiu had already left for Canada. Li Mujia gave Xu Nana a card and suggested that she part ways with Wang Wei amicably. Xu Nana accepted it on the spot.

It was the day with the highest chance of conception, and Tian Rong had prepared everything early, waiting for Li Wanbing. However, Li Wanbing disregarded her words and returned home drunk, leaving her furious. It was New Year's Day, and Lin Da took Li Mujia to an experimental base, introducing her to the meanings and effects of various flowers and plants. Lin Da had prepared a candlelit dinner and invited her to join in building their future together. The partnership assessment took place as scheduled, and Fan Huapeng delivered an impassioned speech.

Li Mujia took the stage to give a speech, briefly recounting how she initially applied to work at Jinda but was rejected by Wu Jianqiu. Later, due to a fortunate turn of events, she stayed at Jinda Law Firm. Through numerous trials and with the selfless help and support of Wu Jianqiu, Li Mujia made progress. She suddenly realized that this wasn't the life she wanted. Thinking of Wu Jianqiu, Lin Da, Li Guang, and others, Li Mujia publicly announced her withdrawal from the competition. The leaders and colleagues in the audience were puzzled and didn't understand her intentions.

Director Feng had high hopes for Li Mujia and wanted to mentor her. However, Li Mujia unexpectedly decided to resign and seek self-improvement. Director Feng welcomed her to return at any time.

Tian Rong, with her enthusiasm and sincerity, impressed both sellers and buyers in real estate transactions. A professional training expert among the buyers invited Tian Rong to teach classes, and she readily agreed.

Chen Qing, who was heavily pregnant, brought dumplings to share with Li Mujia and Tian Rong. Li Mujia expressed her intention to switch jobs to work at Lin Da's Mo Chou Gardens, and both Tian Rong and Chen Qing felt sorry for her. Li Mujia was tired of the competitive nature of law firms and wanted to live life on her terms. Suddenly, Chen Qing experienced labor pains, and Li Mujia and Tian Rong rushed her to the hospital.

Gao Chang arrived later, and the three of them anxiously waited outside the delivery room. Chen Qing finally gave birth to a daughter and named her "Yuan Yuan." Li Mujia and Tian Rong were thrilled for Chen Qing and Gao Chang.

Li Mujia arrived early at Mo Chou Gardens for work, where Lin Da had been waiting for her. He even gave her a potted azalea. Li Mujia asked Lin Da to help revive a succulent she was taking care of. Lin Da introduced Li Mujia to her colleagues with great enthusiasm and prepared a welcome feast for her. Everyone could see Lin Da's affection for Li Mujia and couldn't resist teasing him.

During construction at Caiyue Square, a worker accidentally knocked down a tree that needed immediate rescue. The repair workers had gone to Miyun for a job, so Lin Da, without hesitation, took everyone to the scene. Li Mujia also joined them. Lin Da carefully inspected the tree's roots and felt the problem wasn't severe. They all worked together diligently, and Li Mujia, seeing everyone focused on their tasks, couldn't help but be inspired and joined their efforts.

Through their relentless efforts, the tree was finally saved, leaving Li Mujia with a great sense of accomplishment. Tian Rong was invited to give a speech and borrowed Li Mujia's suit for the occasion. She passionately shared her experiences and insights in real estate agency work, earning high praise from the audience. Li Wanbing came to pick up Tian Rong and sat in the audience. Some of the attendees asked Tian Rong for advice on buying houses. One young man was smitten with Tian Rong and wanted her WeChat contact. Li Wanbing stood up to inquire about Tian Rong's relationship status, and Tian Rong publicly admitted that she was already married, causing the young man to withdraw his interest. Li Wanbing registered for a ride-hailing service and got a street-side order on the way. Tian Rong accompanied him to complete the job.

Lin Da advised Li Mujia to reconcile with Li Guang, but Li Mujia didn't want to discuss the matter and changed the subject. Tian Rong, too busy to go home and change clothes, dared to check the surveillance footage at the property management office. The property manager was displeased and taunted Tian Rong. Li Wanbing arrived in time to help Tian Rong and whisked her away. The property manager realized that Tian Rong lived in the upscale Jilong Bay community when he saw Tian Rong and Li Wanbing chatting and laughing in the elevator.

Li Yang gave Li Wanbing 500,000 yuan, urging him to find a proper job. Li Guang returned from a business trip and wanted to review the financial statements of Mo Chou Gardens. Lin Da asked Li Mujia to deliver them. Li Guang waited for Li Mujia at the 8584 Restaurant. Li Mujia arrived on time, and Li Guang clearly explained that Mo Chou Gardens couldn't last more than five years. Li Mujia didn't mind and made an excuse to leave.

Lin Da and everyone shared their vision for the future of Mo Chou Gardens, and Li Mujia delivered an impassioned speech. Tian Rong had just bought a new car and invited Li Mujia to celebrate with her. However, when Lin Da called Li Mujia, Tian Rong suspected that Li Mujia and Lin Da were dating. Li Mujia tried to explain, and Tian Rong advised her to buy a house before getting married, but Li Mujia quickly changed the topic.

Li Yang thought Li Wanbing used his money to buy the car, but it turned out to be Tian Rong's purchase. Li Yang urged Li Wanbing to find a job and not freeload at home.

Tian Rong was often invited to give lectures at professional training institutions, sharing her experiences as a real estate agent and her knowledge about buying and selling properties. She quickly became a well-known figure in the real estate industry, and Li Wanbing would always drive her there. Suddenly, Feng called Li Wanbing and asked him to meet. Li Wanbing sent a message to Tian Rong, telling her to take a taxi home after her lecture. Feng wanted Tian Rong's help in purchasing a government-subsidized housing unit, and Li Wanbing readily agreed.

Gao Chang worked long hours every day, and his project was showing progress. Chen Qing wanted to work outside Beijing, leaving her mother to care for her daughter. Gao Chang worried that their rented apartment wouldn't be sufficient. Their lease for a Jilong Bay apartment was expiring soon. The landlord informed Li Mujia, who considered renting Tian Rong's apartment. Tian Rong gladly agreed but once again advised Li Mujia to consider buying a property. However, Li Mujia wasn't ready to make that commitment yet.

After Tian Rong and Li Wanbing had been married for a while without children, Li Yang arranged for them to see a specialist about infertility. They were prescribed various traditional Chinese medicines. Tian Rong asked Li Wanbing to take her to see Dafeng, Uncle Dafeng, who had acquired several government-subsidized housing units from developers. Tian Rong wanted to buy an entire unit and then resell the individual apartments with a 30,000 yuan commission for each. She asked Li Wanbing to negotiate with Uncle Dafeng for a discount and taught him negotiation skills.

Li Wanbing approached Uncle Dafeng, falsely claiming that he and Tian Rong were on the verge of divorce due to a disagreement about buying a house. He hoped that Uncle Dafeng would offer a discount so he could report back to Tian Rong. Uncle Dafeng immediately decided to offer an 8-9% discount and promised to give him a two-point commission. Li Wanbing quickly called Tian Rong to share the good news.

Yu Zong wanted to convert an abandoned factory into an art gallery and was interested in the design of Mo Chou Gardens. She arranged to meet with Lin Da, who brought Li Mujia to the abandoned factory. Lin Da explained the design plan to Yu Zong in detail, and Yu Zong was very satisfied, requesting that Lin Da send the contract template as soon as possible.

Gao Chang wanted to take Chen Qing and their daughter to the Yinchuan branch of his company, but Chen Qing firmly refused, insisting on staying in Beijing to provide her daughter with better educational resources. Gao Chang tried to persuade her to consider the bigger picture, but Chen Qing wouldn't budge.

Li Wanbing wanted to borrow money from his father to buy the entire unit of apartments. He didn't want to rely on Li Yang, who hoped to earn money to improve Tian Rong's life. Tian Rong was content with their current life and advised Li Wanbing to take what they already had. Li Guang provided the third installment of funding to Lin Da. Li Mujia received a message from Li Guang, which indicated that this would be his final contribution to Mo Chou Gardens. Li Mujia secretly resolved to help Lin Da fulfill his dream.

Tian Rong attended a reception, and industry leaders came to greet her. She introduced Li Wanbing to them, but the bosses dismissed him. Li Wanbing felt uncomfortable but went outside for some fresh air and decided to start working as a ride-sharing driver. Huang Zong had to leave suddenly due to an emergency, and his car broke down. The driver arranged a ride-sharing car for him, which happened to be Li Wanbing's car. The bosses in the car praised Tian Rong but made fun of her for dating a streetwise guy. Li Wanbing endured the situation silently.

When the reception ended, Li Wanbing came to pick up Tian Rong, but he handed her the car keys and walked away in frustration. Tian Rong drove home, and Li Wanbing ignored her. In anger, Tian Rong asked Li Wanbing to sleep on the couch. Li Wanbing stayed up all night browsing real estate information and the surrounding amenities. Tian Rong advised him to get some sleep, but Li Wanbing insisted on using the apartment as collateral to buy the entire unit and planned to borrow the remaining money from Li Yang.

Li Wanbing went to Li Yang to discuss the property purchase, but Li Yang firmly refused, urging him to have a child with Tian Rong first. Li Wanbing mentioned the disagreement with Tian Rong and threw down the information he had collected overnight before storming out. Li Yang gave him 500,000 yuan, and Tian Rong mortgaged all the apartments to buy the entire unit of government-subsidized housing.

Li Mujia worked long hours every day, assisting Lin Da tirelessly. She was exhausted and received a contract from Tian Rong to review. Li Mujia discovered numerous loopholes in the contract and advised Tian Rong to reconsider. However, Tian Rong had already made up her mind. Li Mujia agreed to make revisions to the contract and accepted the keys to her home, where she would live with Zhang Dazhuang. On the weekend, Li Mujia packed her things and moved with the help of Zhang Dazhuang, Tian Rong, and Li Wanbing. Once again, she advised Tian Rong to be cautious when buying a property.

Li Mujia handed the revised property purchase contract to Tian Rong and advised her to carefully consider buying a house. She emphasized that not being able to repay the loan would lead to significant trouble. Tian Rong had full confidence in her decision and complained that Li Mujia was too emotional. She mentioned that Li Mujia should have stuck to being a good lawyer instead of blindly following Lin Da. In a fit of anger, Li Mujia tore the property purchase contract to pieces, forbidding Tian Rong from buying the house. Tian Rong, furious, stormed out, ignoring Li Mujia's attempts to stop her, and she remained determined to purchase that unit of apartments.

Lin Da no longer wanted to plan gardens for others and wished to buy a nursery for themselves. Li Mujia was worried that Li Guang wouldn't agree, so Lin Da took her to consult Li Guang. Li Guang firmly refused to invest, not wanting to waste money. He had a private conversation with Li Mujia and promised to help her achieve her dream.

Tian Rong monitored the Beijing property market daily and considered selling the unit at its current high value. However, both Li Wanbing and Li Yang were not ready to commit. Tian Rong had to compromise. Lin Da took Li Mujia to visit the nursery and explained his plans and prospects. Li Mujia advised him to let the company earn money first before considering expansion. They disagreed on this matter but were unwilling to compromise.

Tian Rong suddenly discovered that she was pregnant. Feeling embarrassed to face Li Mujia, she asked Li Wanbing to deliver the good news to her. Li Mujia was happy for Tian Rong and offered to be the child's godmother, and they reconciled.

Gao Chang and his team worked tirelessly to secure an investment. He was determined to develop in Yinchuan, but Chen Qing didn't want to give up her current job or leave Beijing. She wanted her child to receive a better education in Beijing. The couple had a heated argument, and Chen Qing left in anger.

Gao Chang quickly found Chen Qing, showed her their marriage certificate, and reminisced about their entrepreneurial journey together. Chen Qing was also feeling uncomfortable about the situation. A real estate agent called Chen Qing to view a property, but she didn't want to buy one at the moment. She had decided to follow Gao Chang to Yinchuan.

Tian Rong went to the hospital excitedly for a checkup but was told she had a false pregnancy due to hormonal imbalances. She was devastated, as she had been looking forward to having a child since they got married. Li Mujia rushed to comfort her. Tian Rong learned about nutritionists who could help regulate the body and increase the chances of pregnancy. She was eager to try this and asked for the nutritionist's contact information.

Tian Rong tried to attract clients to sell the unit of apartments, but Li Wanbing disagreed, wanting to wait for a better offer. Tian Rong considered selling the property she had bought before. In frustration, Li Wanbing left home. Without informing Li Mujia, Lin Da purchased the nursery. Li Mujia confronted him and brought the company's financial statements. Lin Da then realized that the company was running a deficit, unable to pay its employees' salaries. Lin Da tried to borrow money but faced rejections everywhere.

Lin Da pinned his last hope on Zhou Xiaodong from Blue Whale Capital. Li Mujia agreed to accompany him. However, Lin Da received a message from Zhou Xiaodong, declining to invest in Mo Chou Gardens. Lin Da had no choice but to approach Li Guang for funding. Li Guang disagreed with his investment idea, and Lin Da believed in his own vision. Li Guang made it clear that without Li Mujia's involvement, he wouldn't provide the third round of investment for Mo Chou Gardens. Lin Da left disappointed.

Li Mujia attended a venture capital conference but couldn't secure any investments. Lin Da worried about the company's impending closure. Li Mujia vowed not to let the company go under. Li Wanbing hadn't returned home very late, so Tian Rong called him. Li Wanbing lied, saying he was discussing business with a friend. Li Yang also returned home late. Tian Rong discussed selling her own property with him.

Tian Rong and Li Wanbing had a heated argument due to their differing opinions. Tian Rong vented her frustrations to Li Yang, expressing her dissatisfaction with their current life and feeling insecure. Li Yang tried to advise her kindly. Li Wanbing returned home drunk, and Li Yang sternly scolded him, leaving him feeling aggrieved.

Tian Rong couldn't sleep at night, worrying that the massive loan would crush them. Li Wanbing insisted on waiting for the housing prices to rise further, so Tian Rong decided to sell her own property.

Gao Chang and his team worked tirelessly, and their product could finally be mass-produced. Chen Qing also found a job in Yinchuan and decided to move there with their child. Tian Rong and Li Mujia went to the train station to see off Chen Qing's family, and Tian Rong envied their situation.

Mo Chou Gardens faced bankruptcy, and Lin Da had lost hope. He suggested that Li Mujia should seek other opportunities, but she insisted on staying and reviving Mo Chou Gardens, using her entire savings of one million as initial capital. Li Guang offered to be her safety net, but Li Mujia declined, determined to make Mo Chou Gardens successful. She sold all her beloved designer bags, rented an office in the technology park, and even moved in to oversee the work. Employees were assigned specific tasks and started working diligently.

Li Wanbing took Tian Rong to the hospital for a checkup, but everything was normal. Li Yang was thrilled and promised to buy them a house once they had a child. Li Wanbing secretly borrowed money from Li Yang to repay debts, but Li Yang didn't have enough money. Li Wanbing hesitated to sell their house for repayment, so Li Yang suggested selling the bracelet passed down from their ancestors. Li Yang persuaded Li Wanbing to use the money Tian Rong earned from selling her property to repay the debts, preventing Tian Rong's relatives from taking it. Tian Rong overheard this conversation outside the door.

Li Mujia sought financing from Li Guang, but he advised her to work at Li Ming Group instead and offered to find someone to manage Mo Chou Gardens. Li Mujia politely declined, as Mo Chou Gardens was her dream. She used her entire savings of one million to revive it. Li Guang was willing to be her backup plan, but Li Mujia was determined to succeed with her own efforts.

On a stormy night, Li Mujia was frightened by the howling wind. Suddenly, Tian Rong visited her, showing concern and offering to lend her money. Li Mujia was deeply moved and tearful.

Li Mujia didn't want to drag Tian Rong into her troubles, and Tian Rong was willing to invest in Mo Chou Gardens. Li Mujia vowed not to disappoint her. Li Wanbing gathered the courage to discuss selling their house with Tian Rong to repay the debts. However, he also wanted to make a substantial profit from the sale, which infuriated Tian Rong. They argued fiercely and ended up in disagreement.

Li Wanbing attempted to sell the bracelet, but the buyer aggressively haggled over the price. Li Wanbing received a call from the bank urging him to repay the loan. He reluctantly sold the bracelet at a lower price. Li Mujia visited Xin Yue Company to seek sponsorship and coincidentally found her university roommate, Wang Yuanyuan, working there as a legal counsel. Wang Yuanyuan revealed that all the company's suppliers were relatives. Li Mujia asked Wang Yuanyuan to pass her proposal to the company president. The president suspected Li Mujia's motives and invited her to dinner that evening. Wang Yuanyuan cautioned Li Mujia to be careful with the president, who had recently divorced.

Li Mujia arrived promptly for the dinner, but the president tried to get her drunk and even offered to escort her home. Li Mujia sensed his ulterior motives and firmly declined. Suddenly, her mother visited Beijing and gave her all the family's savings. Li Mujia struggled to hide her inner turmoil. Her mother advised her not to feel pressured and assured her that she was welcome to return home to pursue her dreams. Li Mujia felt touched by her mother's support. To meet the project deadline, Li Mujia personally led the team in digging trenches. Lin Da sold his hometown house and gave the money to Li Mujia to alleviate the urgent financial situation.

Li Mujia and her colleagues, through relentless efforts, finally completed the Xin Yue Plaza landscaping project. They successfully passed the inspection, and Li Mujia received the first payment. She invited everyone to celebrate with a meal and gave each person a 500 yuan bonus. Everyone was full of confidence and pledged to work hard with Li Mujia. Li Mujia immediately shared the good news with Tian Rong, and Tian Rong was happy for her.

Li Wanbing noticed many debt collection banners outside his home and learned that his father, Li Yang, had borrowed money from relatives and even high-interest loans in an attempt to buy a house. Li Yang was unable to repay, so he placed his hopes on Tian Rong. Li Wanbing called Tian Rong, but during the call, Li Yang collapsed due to stress. Despite the medical team's efforts, Li Yang couldn't be saved. Before passing away, he urgently instructed Li Wanbing to find Tian Rong.

After settling Li Yang's affairs, Tian Rong promised the creditors that she would repay all of Li Yang's debts. Li Mujia learned about this and promised to help Tian Rong to the best of her abilities. A pipeline burst suddenly at the nursery, causing the flowers and plants scheduled for delivery the next day to be flooded. Li Mujia rushed to the nursery early in the morning, where Lin Da was leading the efforts to fix the situation. Li Mujia joined in to help, and with everyone's united efforts, they managed to repair the flowers and plants and deliver them to the customers on time.

Lin Da confessed his feelings to Li Mujia, but she had never thought of a romantic relationship with him and considered Mo Chou Gardens as her own career. Meanwhile, Li Wanbing, who had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol since Li Yang's passing, was advised by Tian Rong to repay debts using the money from selling the house. Unexpectedly, Tian Rong used the money to support Li Mujia's gardening project. This angered Li Wanbing, who believed that Li Yang's borrowing was the cause of their financial problems. Tian Rong presented Li Yang's debt records to him, making him realize that Li Yang had already accumulated substantial debts before borrowing for the house. Despite Tian Rong's repeated advice to sell the house, Li Yang had refused.

Li Wanbing received a court summons, prompting Tian Rong to look for buyers for their house. However, they couldn't find enough buyers immediately, so Li Wanbing had to sell his car at a lower price. Tian Rong was juggling various financial matters but couldn't repay the high-interest loans. Eventually, her house was seized by the court, and she and Li Wanbing had to move back to their original small apartment. Tian Rong recalled her past ambitions and felt a mix of emotions.

Due to excessive fatigue, Tian Rong fainted from low blood sugar. Li Wanbing and Li Mujia rushed her to the hospital. After regaining consciousness, Li Wanbing repeatedly apologized to her and promised to live a steady life from now on, avoiding any reckless actions. To their surprise, the doctor revealed that Tian Rong was pregnant, bringing both shock and joy.

The board of directors at Li Ming Group unanimously approved another investment in Mo Chou Gardens. Since Li Guang was away on a business trip, Fang Zhou signed the cooperation agreement with Li Mujia on his behalf. Li Mujia and her colleagues were highly motivated. Tian Rong and Li Wanbing opened a noodle shop, and with honest business practices, the shop thrived. Li Mujia visited Tian Rong, showing genuine concern for her. Li Mujia shared her first bonus with Tian Rong and Li Wanbing, and both were very happy.

Li Mujia fulfilled her wish of buying a house in Jinlong Bay. She couldn't wait to show it to her mother through a video call and encouraged her mother to visit and live with her. When Li Guang returned from his business trip, he heard from Fang Zhou that Li Mujia's Mo Chou Gardens project was thriving. He went directly to the riverbank instead of going home. Li Mujia also often came to the riverbank to relax. She thought about Li Guang's promises, and although the boat was still there, much had changed. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Li Guang and Li Mujia crossed paths again in their residential complex. They were filled with excitement, reintroduced themselves to each other, and then tightly held each other's hands, their unspoken feelings speaking volumes.
