Lin Shuang changed into the clothes that Jiang Xi promptly delivered, replacing her evening gown. She and Wei Jie competed in snooker on the same stage. Wei Jie's skills were well-known, but unexpectedly, Lin Shuang outperformed her. With her proficient techniques, Lin Shuang effortlessly won, earning admiration from everyone present. Wei Jie took the initiative to chat with Lin Shuang about snooker and discovered that they were not only alumni but also had the same mentor. Wei Jie and Lin Shuang hit it off immediately as they continued their conversation.

Wei Ming went to work early in the morning, and Wei Jie enthusiastically congratulated him, praising him for finding such a good wife in Lin Shuang. Wei Ming was delighted, and Huang Jiayi overheard the conversation. Lin Shuang thanked Jiang Xi for timely delivering the clothes to her, and Jiang Xi warned her to be cautious of Wei Ming. Wei Ming had been getting close to Huang Jiayi recently, suspecting that he wanted to leverage her connection with Chairman Huang. Lin Shuang couldn't afford to be complacent and decided to quickly settle the division of Wei Ming's assets. Jiang Xi provided her with Wei Ming's income, bonus, and various benefits details.

Zhu Xiaoqing informed Lin Shuang that the Panshi research lab was hiring. Lin Shuang was well-prepared, excelling in the written test, and the next step was the interview. The HR interviewer was impressed with Lin Shuang, and Gu Xu presented a sharp question to her about balancing career and family. Lin Shuang believed that women should not be sacrificial lambs for the family; instead, all family members should make sacrifices and reduce unnecessary consumption to achieve true balance. Gu Xu was concerned that she couldn't handle it and challenged her to prove it through actions. Lin Shuang showcased her entire day's schedule, busier than the average office worker.

Gu Xu was satisfied with Lin Shuang's answers and posed one final challenging question. Lin Shuang stated that regardless of success or failure, she would continue on the path of self-discovery. Gu Xu was impressed with the current Lin Shuang and announced on the spot that she was hired. Lin Shuang was overjoyed.

Lin Shuang was to start work officially the next day. She asked the neighborhood cleaner, Aunt Deng, to help take care of Guoguo, sparing Jiang Hai the trouble. Jiang Hai felt disappointed; he wanted to see Lin Shuang often, even if it was just to hear her voice. Wei Ming had initially planned to take Mingbo on a business trip, but due to an unexpected event, Huang Jiayi accompanied him instead. Wei Ming quickly found out that Huang Jiayi had forcefully replaced He Mingbo and was displeased. Huang Jiayi tried to please him, and he dictated, she followed.

Lin Shuang arrived early at Panshi for work. Zhu Xiaoqing introduced the company's rules and regulations to her, leading her to her workstation directly facing Gu Xu's office. Her every move was under Gu Xu's supervision. This workstation was jokingly referred to by colleagues as the company's Feng Shui treasure. Lin Shuang didn't mind; she immersed herself in her work as soon as she started. Lin Shuang returned home very late, asking Aunt Deng to go home and rest, and she prepared a simple dinner for herself.

Wei Ming assigned Huang Jiayi a full schedule every day. Huang Jiayi realized that the clients were insincere and advised Wei Ming not to waste time and effort. Wei Ming insisted on not giving up until the last moment. Wei Ming worked overtime until late at night, and Huang Jiayi, exhausted, fell asleep on the table. Wei Ming covered her with a piece of clothing.

Lin Shuang worked diligently and quickly organized her workload. She discussed quantum algorithm issues with her colleague Lao Chai, who forwarded Lin Shuang's suggestions directly to the head of the R&D department, He Zong. Shu Man discreetly informed Lin Shuang about this and advised her to think about how to explain it to He Zong. Lin Shuang felt aggrieved; she had kindly reminded Lao Chai, but he used her as a scapegoat. Lin Shuang called Jiang Xi to vent, and Jiang Xi offered her guidance.

When He Zong returned from his business trip, he publicly asked about the issue raised in the email. Lin Shuang truthfully explained the situation, stating that she had already worked overtime to solve the problem. He Zong praised Lin Shuang for her responsible actions. Lin Shuang thanked Jiang Xi for the strong support. He Zong casually mentioned Gu Xu arranging for Lin Shuang to teach at Jiang University, a matter Lin Shuang was completely unaware of. Jiang Xi, curious about Gu Xu and Lin Shuang's relationship, asked Lin Shuang, who smiled without answering.

Lin Shuang worked late into the night, finally dozing off at her desk. Gu Xu woke her up, advising her not to overwork herself. Gu Xu considered Lin Shuang a formidable opponent since their university days and had even studied abroad to surpass her. Now that Lin Shuang had surpassed his expectations, Gu Xu hoped she would become his competitor again. He urged Lin Shuang to go home early to rest, concerned that her not-so-young body might not handle the workload. Lin Shuang, infuriated, gritted her teeth. Shu Man watched the scene unfold.
