Han Junhao and Chen Jiahui's relationship has rapidly deepened. After dropping Chen Jiahui off at her apartment building, Han Junhao suggested going upstairs for a visit. Chen Jiahui didn’t refuse and brought Han Junhao home, showing him her little personal space and art creations. In the kitchen, Han Junhao made spaghetti for Chen Jiahui, and the two shared a meal while singing in a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Han Junhao encouraged Chen Jiahui to hold an art exhibition, and Chen Jiahui felt that he truly understood her feelings, creating a strong emotional connection between them. Meanwhile, client manager Wu Anmei violated filming regulations during an outdoor shoot by failing to obtain prior approval for street scenes, resulting in complaints and police involvement. Upon learning about it, Mai Youge proactively approached Wu Anmei to discuss halting the shoot.

However, Wu Anmei insisted on filming the residential buildings, infuriating Mai Youge, who immediately ordered the promotional video production to stop. Wu Anmei reacted by confronting Mai Youge, leading to a heated argument. Xu Junhao called Mai Youge to understand the situation, warning her that the shoot was now in violation of regulations and that the government could shut down the entire project at any moment.

Mai Youge again ordered the team to withdraw from the shoot and warned Wu Anmei to discuss any issues later. Xu Junle arrived just in time to witness the tension. On another front, Han Junhao continued his steady performance in team training, impressing everyone. However, at a critical moment, he made a mistake, leaving him feeling deeply frustrated. Chen Jiahui visited the training site again and noticed the somber atmosphere.

The team manager, Charles, informed her that Han Junhao had driven off the track during training but was fortunately unharmed. Hearing this, Chen Jiahui felt relieved. Charles, concerned about Han Junhao’s condition, confided in Chen Jiahui. Understanding Han Junhao’s personality, Chen Jiahui knew that comforting him in such moments might make him feel pitied as a weakling. Instead, she decided to surprise him, giving him a little scare. They then went out for a relaxing break at a bowling alley.

To lift his spirits, Chen Jiahui pretended to make mistakes while bowling, indirectly encouraging Han Junhao, which deeply moved him. After the halted shoot, Mai Youge worked hard to explain the situation to the local residents, but the language barrier made communication difficult. Luckily, Xu Junle arrived in time to help Mai Youge explain everything. Mai Youge also took the initiative to communicate with the director, collaborating to handle the aftermath.

The rest of the team believed that a fixed person should oversee the shoot because, under the current circumstances, continuing was inappropriate. Unwilling to accept the situation, Wu Anmei independently reported to Maggy and warned Mai Youge to wait for further consequences. Mai Youge, however, refused to tolerate it any longer, harshly criticizing Wu Anmei’s actions for causing the entire team to stagnate.

She pointed out that it disrupted the filming schedule, leading to delays and budget overruns, and negatively impacted the team’s professionalism in the eyes of the client. Wei Shijie took Wu Kaitong go-karting and even prepared suitable shoes for her. Feeling moved by his thoughtfulness, Wu Kaitong started out nervously but gradually became more confident, thoroughly enjoying herself with Wei Shijie.

During the outing, Wu Kaitong shared stories about her strict upbringing, where she was never allowed to visit amusement parks or watch the cartoons she wanted. Her days were filled with studying, piano practice, and strict rules, and even minor mistakes led to being confined to her room for reflection. Seeing Wu Kaitong open up, Wei Shijie took her to an aquarium, where she felt like one of the sea creatures trapped inside.

With Wei Shijie’s encouragement, Wu Kaitong regained her radiant smile, feeling as though she had finally broken free from the constraints of her past. Han Junhao brought Chen Jiahui to the Grand Prix Museum, where he introduced her to his idol, Ayrton Senna. It was only then that Chen Jiahui realized that Han Junhao's relentless pursuit of championships wasn’t just for himself—he was also eager to prove the strength of Chinese race car drivers to the world.
