Come On! Programmers Recap
Episode 1 Recap
Zhu Meng has suffered from anxiety since he was a child. It was Luo Fengxiang, the founder of the first internet company, who brought color and direction to Zhu Meng's lonely childhood. Zhu Meng idolized Luo Fengxiang and dreamed of fighting alongside him someday. Lucky for him, the Baohulu app developed by Zhu Meng was unexpectedly discovered by Luo Fengxiang, who then arranged to meet with Zhu Meng. However, Zhu Meng was shocked to discover that Luo Fengxiang was no longer the ideal entrepreneur he once knew, as he had already been corrupted by money and capital. Zhu Meng was furious and stated that he would never sell his technology. As the negotiation was about to break down, Luo Fengxiang slammed the table and offered ten million yuan! Zhu Meng was stunned and his anxiety flared up once again.
Episode 2 Recap
Zhu Meng declined Luo Fengxiang's offer of ten million yuan and left in a cool manner. Tang Chenchen chased after Zhu Meng, urging him to turn back. However, Zhu Meng remained firm in his decision and even cursed Tang Chenchen as a swindler. At this point, Zhu Meng received an invitation for an interview from journalist Jiang Qi, whom he had been secretly following for some time. When he met her in person, Zhu Meng became tongue-tied.
To Jiang Qi, Zhu Meng was no different from the numerous fraudulent entrepreneurs she had interviewed before. Soon, public opinion turned against Zhu Meng, and Baohulu became an unwanted existence. On the other hand, Tang Chenchen was also at the end of her rope. In the end, the two decided to start a business together with the goal of defeating Luo Fengxiang!
Episode 3 Recap
After the company was established, the first priority was to find investors. Tang Chenchen took Zhu Meng to see Mingzhu, but Mingzhu kept Tang Chenchen outside and spoke alone with Zhu Meng. She said that investing in Baohulu was simple: they had to get rid of Tang Chenchen. Zhu Meng returned to the company with a heavy heart and dared not tell Tang Chenchen the truth. Tang Chenchen was left in the dark and was still enthusiastically recruiting new employees. After one round of recruitment, Baohulu had two new employees: Xiao A, who was outspoken and often offended people, and Malik, a programming genius who was already well-off and simply thought it would be fun to join to go against Xiao A. The three programmers got together and conspired to find a way to get rid of Tang Chenchen, who didn't fit in.
Episode 4 Recap
After Zhu Meng found out that Mingzhu wanted to kick Tang Chenchen out of Baohulu, he confronted Tang Chenchen about it. Tang Chenchen was furious upon learning the truth and decided to do something that would make Zhu Meng see him in a different light. So he met with Jiang Qi and offered to exchange a designer bag for her positive coverage of Baohulu. Unfortunately, this was caught on camera and maliciously edited before being uploaded online, resulting in Jiang Qi losing her job and Baohulu's reputation being tarnished. This made Zhu Meng completely heartless in kicking out Tang Chenchen.
Later, when Zhu Meng was alone with Mingzhu and was being stumped by some questions, Tang Chenchen arrived to save the day. Zhu Meng realized that he couldn't do without Tang Chenchen. Mingzhu also saw the understanding between the two and made a compromise.
Episode 5 Recap
Zhu Meng and Tang Chenchen paid a visit to the cooperation partner designated by Mingzhu, Master Pang. However, they offended Master Pang right from the start and the cooperation was about to fall apart before it even began. Zhu Meng stepped forward and explained the characteristics of his ideal smart home furniture one by one, which turned Master Pang's anger into joy.
Meanwhile, Luo Fengxiang lured away the key employee of Baohulu with a high salary and asked him some core technical questions. The employee remained silent, and Luo Fengxiang mistakenly thought that the employee was loyal to him. In fact, the employee secretly sent a message to Zhu Meng for help. Through this, Zhu Meng unexpectedly learned that Da Banshou was also developing smart home products. In order to beat Da Banshou to the market, Zhu Meng and the team worked tirelessly and collaborated to complete the main program.
Episode 6 Recap
Now that the program is perfected, the next step requires a large number of test subjects. Tang Chenchen came up with a crazy idea to hold a "Magic Mirror Party" to "trick" everyone into participating in the testing. On the day of the party, Jiang Qi also came to the scene, and Zhu Meng was pleasantly surprised and cleared up the previous misunderstanding with her. In addition to Jiang Qi, the female anchor from the adjacent startup space also came to join the fun. But Zhu Meng didn't know that they were live streaming and accidentally leaked the news. Overnight, the news that Pang Dashifu was going to make smart furniture spread like wildfire on the internet. Soon, a video call came from Pang Dashifu. Zhu Meng answered with trepidation and saw Pang Dashifu pick up an axe and violently chop the wardrobe sample into pieces.
Episode 7 Recap
Due to Baohulu's leak, the contract with Pang Dashifu was cancelled. On the other hand, the big wrench Luo Fengxiang announced that he would hold a new product launch in ten days. Zhu Meng, who was unwilling to fail, decided to ask Pang Dashifu for another chance. Disguised as someone else, Zhu Meng sneaked into Dashifu's house. After learning that Dashifu had a missing wardrobe, Zhu Meng decided to find it to impress Dashifu. Tang Chenchen accidentally saw a picture of the wardrobe and confirmed that it was the one she secretly sold when she was young. In order to gain Dashifu's forgiveness, Zhu Meng had to sell all the office equipment and buy back the wardrobe. The program was loaded onto the wardrobe, and when Dashifu saw his creation back, he agreed to continue working with Zhu Meng.
Episode 8 Recap
At the Big Wrench product launch, on the eve of his appearance, Luo Fengxiang learned that the product had defects. Instead of canceling the event, he pretended to be apologetic and took the stage, turning the launch into a personal show. At the Baohulu launch, everyone thought they had the upper hand. Zhu Meng stumbled through his introduction of the wardrobe's features and Mingzhu demonstrated it on stage. To everyone's surprise, the smart wardrobe recommended a sailor suit for Mingzhu after running for a while! The whole audience was in an uproar, and Zhu Meng was stunned. Zhu Meng and the others returned to the company and prepared to disband when they suddenly received a call from Mingzhu, who said she would invest in Baohulu. Everyone was overjoyed. Mingzhu held a shareholders' meeting and announced that Jiang Qi would represent the investors and join Baohulu to plan for the next project.
Episode 9 Recap
Zhu Meng led Malik and Xiao Afeng to create garbage crazily, and the testing was very successful. They also passed the on-site testing stage of the bidding party. When Zhu Meng and his team returned to the company, they found that Tan Hui was missing, and the only sample of the smart garbage bin had disappeared with him. Tang Chenchen speculated that Tan Hui had fled with the sample, but Zhu Meng didn't believe it. Before Zhu Meng could respond, Tan Hui burst in with personal belongings, saying he had jumped ship to another company. After humiliating everyone, Tan Hui left swaggeringly. Everyone brainstormed but had no countermeasures. Zhu Meng held onto the last bit of hope for Tan Hui and, together with Tang Chenchen, walked into the other company.
Episode 10 Recap
Luo Fengxiang learned that the core module of Baohulu was with Tan Hui and took the initiative to discuss cooperation with him, hoping to kill two birds with one stone. However, on the day of the handover, Tan Hui stood him up. In fact, Zhu Meng and his team intercepted Tan Hui and took back the intelligent module. Even so, the final winning bid for the intelligent garbage sorting competition was unexpectedly won by Dabanshou Company! Jiang Qi listed various problems with Baohulu, which Zhu Meng could not accept, and they had a very unpleasant argument. Jia Yifan thought Luo Fengxiang was too impulsive and wanted to resign. Luo Fengxiang believed that Jia Yifan wanted to infiltrate Baohulu, and not only approved it readily but also tore up the professional ethics agreement.
Episode 11 Recap
Jiang Qi persuaded Zhu Meng to attend an industry banquet, where he met Jia Yifan and had a conversation with him. Zhu Meng invited Jia Yifan to join Baohulu. After Jia Yifan joined the company, he analyzed various problems in the company's operations, understood the personality traits and temperaments of each employee, and made adjustments that significantly improved everyone's work efficiency. Tang Chenchen has always been wary of Jia Yifan and has been causing trouble for him since his first day at work.
Episode 12 Recap
The market value of Baohulu has not risen since its inception, and Mingzhu has lost patience and plans to withdraw funds. Tang Chenchen suggested that Baohulu participate in the "Artificial Intelligence Competition" to increase its value. However, to qualify for the competition, the product's user usage must be ranked in the top 100. At this time, Zhu Meng doesn't even have a decent product. Just when Baohulu was feeling down, they received the last and most unlikely opportunity to participate in the machine learning competition - a personal recommendation letter from the competition sponsor Luo Fengxiang!
Episode 13 Recap
Baohulu successfully participated in the competition, but the system was destroyed. Luo Fengxiang, in a victorious manner, invited Zhu Meng to join the big wrench early, hoping that Zhu Meng could join in to avoid a bad loss in the competition. Even so, Baohulu decided to give it a try. Baohulu barely passed the first level in the AI competition, but Zhu Meng's new algorithm kept making mistakes and couldn't continue to the second level. When everyone else wanted to give up, Zhu Meng still insisted on participating in the second level of the competition. Baohulu became famous once and for all.
Episode 14 Recap
Baohulu Company made a name for itself after the artificial intelligence competition and even shook the entire internet industry. After experiencing a difficult start-up period, Zhu Meng and his team began to receive widespread attention and praise. Zhu Meng officially began an endless series of meetings with various investors. After a series of considerations, Zhu Meng and his team ultimately chose a company as an independent investor. The reason was simple: the other party respected the wishes of the main creators for Baohulu's development and did not have any specific requirements, which made Zhu Meng most satisfied. However, the boss of the investment company, Li Cheng, also had his own agenda: to hype up Baohulu's technology concept and then sell his shares after the company's valuation increased.
Episode 15 Recap
Mingzhu held a board meeting, where Zhu Meng was officially removed from the position of CEO through a vote and instead became the Chief Technology Officer. Mingzhu then brought in a new CEO for Baohulu, Wu Ke, who lived up to expectations by bringing in a new corporate culture. He preached about the unique charm and culture of Baohulu to the company's employees, and drew up a beautiful blueprint. For a moment, Zhu Meng let his guard down and sincerely welcomed Wu Ke's arrival to Baohulu.
Episode 16 Recap
Zhu Meng opposed the new product, but he found that everyone supported Wu Ke's decision. He suddenly realized that Wu Ke had truly won everyone over and convinced them. Wu Ke became more and more unscrupulous. The group discussed using "non-violent resistance" to resist Wu Ke. They would follow Wu Ke's production requirements on the surface, but would continue to improve the core algorithm in secret. Everyone was excited and felt that they were starting a revolution. However, before the plan could be implemented, Wu Ke discovered the "conspiracy" of Zhu Meng and others. What awaited Zhu Meng and his allies was complete removal from Baohulu...
Episode 17 Recap
Zhu Meng and others affected Wu Ke's position in Baohulu. In order to consolidate his control over Baohulu, Wu Ke used his CEO function to dismiss Zhu Meng from all positions he held in Baohulu. On the other hand, at Big Wrench Technology, Luo Fengxiang was also walking on thin ice. Ultimately unable to withstand the pressure from the major shareholder, he voluntarily resigned from his position as CEO to save face. The two unexpectedly met at the retirement club, buried the hatchet, and Zhu Meng opened up to Luo Fengxiang.
Episode 18 Recap
Under the leadership of Wu Ke, Baohulu has taken on many projects and the financial reports are very impressive, with the business value soaring. However, this has caused the technical team to suffer and the production capacity cannot keep up, leading to the risk of most breaches of contract. Zhu Meng was concerned about Baohulu and teamed up with Xiao A and Malik to turn the tide, completing all the projects that were about to be delivered and resolving Baohulu's legal woes. Wu Ke also suddenly resigned from his position as CEO and voluntarily handed it over to Zhu Meng. It turns out that Luo Fengxiang paid a large sum of money to poach Wu Ke, who then transformed into a high-level executive at Big Wrench Technology, and Luo Fengxiang used this to reconcile with the board of directors and return to the position of CEO.
Episode 19 Recap

Despite the opposition, Zhu Meng takes the initiative to reach out to Luo Fengxiang, hoping that he will participate in the project of intelligent cars. This is also what Luo Fengxiang has been hiding in his heart. When Tang Chenchen learns that Zhu Meng wants to pursue the intelligent car project, he advises him to give up and not be so willful. At the same time, Tang Chenchen also says that he really wants to leave Zhu Meng this time.

Zhu Meng defied opposition and cooperated with Luo Fengxiang. However, during the demonstration, an accident occurred and a large amount of data was lost. The artificial intelligence driving project was not successful, and Baohulu added more lawsuits. A cloud of gloom hung over Zhu Meng and the others. The board of directors immediately stopped the intelligent driving project. In order not to affect others, Zhu Meng decided to conduct the research alone, but the lack of funds made it difficult for him to make progress. It was at this moment that Tang Chenchen appeared. Neither of them made any advances, but they reconciled and became good again.
