> Alliance Recap
Lin Shuang, relying on her own abilities, was promoted ahead of schedule. Gu Xu invited her to join the Love Treasure project team, led by Lu Sisi. Lu Sisi, upon learning that Lin Shuang is the wife of Wei Ming, the vice president of the cooperating Panshi company, doubted her capabilities, thinking she relied on connections. Lu Sisi assigned Lin Shuang the task of communicating with clients, familiarizing herself with client information quickly, and combining it with market analysis to create a proposal. This had to be submitted before the 3 p.m. meeting.
With only a little over an hour left, Lin Shuang rushed to the ice rink to pick up Guoguo, utilizing every moment to communicate with clients. He Mingbo persistently pursued Jiang Xi, who advised him to give up and truthfully explained her family's situation. Her father owed a large sum, her mother took all her savings, and she had an irresponsible younger brother, Jiang Hai. Both siblings faced various troubles if they were together, despite belonging to the same category of people.
Huang Jiayi, not wanting to be with Wei Ming without clarity, urged him to divorce soon. Wei Ming promised a satisfactory response and advised Huang Jiayi to temporarily hide their relationship to avoid complications. Ignoring this, Huang Jiayi publicly displayed affection with Wei Ming, causing discussions among onlookers. Huang Jiayi, infuriated, heard about the past affair between Jiang Xi and Wei Ming and verbally attacked Jiang Xi, who retaliated in kind.
Huang Jiayi poured out her grievances to Wei Ming, who took her to meet his parents, publicly disclosing their relationship. His parents strongly opposed Wei Ming divorcing Lin Shuang. Wei Ming insisted on marrying only Huang Jiayi, advising his parents to keep it secret from Lin Shuang to avoid complications during the property division. He also mentioned that his relationship with Huang Jiayi had not received approval from Huang's father, and he didn't want to create more trouble.
Returning home with Guoguo, who complained about a bad smell on Wei Ming, Lin Shuang exposed the scent as perfume. Parents desperately made excuses for Wei Ming, who continued to explain. Although Lin Shuang felt indescribable disgust, her face remained calm. Lin Shuang and Love Treasure company finalized their cooperation plan, but the other party suddenly changed their mind. Lu Sisi severely scolded Lin Shuang, and colleagues sympathized with her.
While shopping at the supermarket, Lin Shuang discovered her credit card was blocked. She called Wei Ming, who claimed excessive household expenses. Lin Shuang sensed Wei Ming's determination to divorce and asked Jiang Xi to help find a part-time job for living expenses. Jiang Xi revealed that Wei Ming had just bought a luxury car. Lin Shuang worked on private tasks for the company during the weekend, and Gu Xu guessed she needed money.
Huang Jiayi, daily indulging with Wei Ming, was secretly photographed by Jiang Mingbo. When Jiang Mingbo discovered this, he didn't understand Jiang Xi's intentions but still helped cover for her. Worried about public opinions on his hotel visits with Huang Jiayi, Wei Ming rented a new apartment. He promised to divorce soon so he and Huang Jiayi could be together openly.
Gu Xu inquired about Lin Shuang from Jiang Xi, and she questioned his interest in Lin Shuang. Gu Xu claimed to be a good friend of Lin Shuang, and Jiang Xi detailed their transition from enemies to friends. Knowing about Lin Shuang's difficulties, Gu Xu had mixed feelings. During their university days, he had feelings for Lin Shuang, but seeing her with Wei Ming, he silently wished them well.
Lin Shuang returned home very late from work. Outside, it was pouring rain. Lin Shuang leaned against the gate, waiting for a ride-share, and inadvertently fell asleep. Gu Xu, observing from a distance, quickly got out of the car and covered Lin Shuang with a coat. The ride-share arrived, and Lin Shuang hurriedly left. Gu Xu repeatedly advised her with concern.
Lu Sisi invited the general managers of Love Treasure, Zhang, and Director Wang to discuss cooperation at the company. Director Wang suddenly wanted to change the approach, angering Lu Sisi. Lin Shuang quickly stepped forward, explained her thoughts in detail, and combined them with the child's characteristics. Zhang was very satisfied with this proposal and immediately decided to replace Director Wang. Lu Sisi looked at Lin Shuang with new eyes and apologized profusely.
