At the shareholders' meeting the next day, Gan Yang brought up the financing matter for the training box. He was aware that most of those present had already signed the agreement, and while some expressed support for Gan Yang's decision, to everyone’s surprise and relief, Gan Yang unexpectedly agreed to the financing. Gan Yang went outside alone. Wang Yi approached him to ask the reason.

Gan Yang explained that he was thinking of the company’s best interests—most people had agreed, and with financing, they could better enter the market without affecting decision-making power. Wang Yi said he understood and trusted Gan Yang’s judgment, then asked if Gan Yang had explained it clearly to Ding Zhitong. He figured Ding Zhitong would come for due diligence later, giving them plenty of opportunities to talk.

But Gan Yang expressed his wish that after the financing, Ding Zhitong be transferred away from the project so she could live a peaceful life without being disturbed by him. He didn’t want her to know about the past either. Wang Yi worried this might affect Ding Zhitong’s promotion, but Gan Yang said he had already arranged a bigger project for her to ensure her promotion and allow her to fully step out of his life.

President Zhang brought Ding Zhitong to discuss the financing details and praised her capabilities. Gan Yang agreed to the financing without hesitation, but with one condition: that Ding Zhitong withdraw from the project. Ding Zhitong glared at Gan Yang, and the two stared at each other for a long time without saying a word. President Wang was surprised to hear that Ding Zhitong was being replaced, but had no reason to object.

He instructed his staff to agree to it and also had them give Ding Zhitong an expensive bottle of red wine as thanks for her past efforts. President Zhang knew that without Ding Zhitong, Gan Yang wouldn't have agreed to the financing. Judging by Wang's reaction, he also recognized her abilities. There was a project in Hong Kong specifically requesting her to lead. But before that, she could take a one-week break.

Ding Zhitong proposed that her subordinate, Li Jiaxin, continue handling the current project. President Zhang saw that Ding Zhitong wanted to help Li Jiaxin get promoted and readily agreed. Li Jiaxin was angry at Gan Yang. She had once admired him, but now she felt pushed aside. Ding Zhitong told her she could still follow up on the project, which made Li Jiaxin happy. Ding Zhitong didn't know the man she had once coached in running was actually President Wang.

They had previously agreed that if the project succeeded, she’d treat him to a meal. Although she didn’t get to keep the project, she still took him out to eat and brought that bottle of wine. President Wang introduced himself as Wilson and reminded her that the wine was very expensive, something only seen at auctions. Ding Zhitong didn’t mind and generously treated him, earning Wilson’s admiration for her generosity.

Gan Yang kept staring at the light in Ding Zhitong’s apartment upstairs. When he saw that it was still on late at night, he went downstairs to “take out the trash” and ran into her. He apologized for asking her to step away from the training box project, explaining that he did it only so she could have a peaceful and happy life, and that he would also withdraw from her life and stop bothering her.

Ding Zhitong retorted sharply and went back to her place but couldn’t sleep no matter what. She kept thinking about what Gan Yang said and felt uneasy. Eventually, she took some sleeping pills again. The next morning, Ding Zhitong and Gan Yang both came out to the balcony to exercise and noticed each other watching, then both turned away.

When Ding Zhitong went to pick up her food delivery, she saw that the order slip included items Gan Yang had picked—dishes she liked. She told Song Mingmei about it, but Song Mingmei reminded her that the food she ordered was also what Gan Yang liked. Wanting to fully leave that place, Ding Zhitong planned to sell her apartment and move to Hong Kong. When Gan Yang saw that, he offered to move out instead.

But Ding Zhitong ignored him and told him directly that she just wanted to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible. Song Mingmei asked Ding Zhitong for help finding out who was in charge of the Hexie project, hoping she could use her connections. It turned out to be Qin Yu. Ding Zhitong took the chance to ask about Qin Chang’s role and learned from Qin Yu that Qin Chang was now the second-in-command.

Even she didn’t have the authority to find out more. Song Mingmei accused Deng Baiting of being despicable—selling his shares and threatening her with custody of their child. Unexpectedly, Qin Chang appeared behind them and witnessed their argument. Song Mingmei was instantly mortified, especially after having boasted to him about how happy her marriage was—only to be utterly humiliated. She blamed Ding Zhitong for giving her inaccurate information.

But Ding Zhitong hadn’t expected Qin Chang to come for such a minor issue either. She speculated maybe he came to support Song Mingmei, and at least now they didn’t have to worry about Qin Chang being bought off by Deng Baiting. Song Mingmei thought that made sense. At that moment, Feng Sheng and his wife Yu Shangna happened to run into Ding Zhitong and Song Mingmei while out shopping.

Song Mingmei was surprised that out of everyone, Feng Sheng seemed to be the happiest. When Ding Zhitong was packing to go to Hong Kong, she saw a trending topic online—Wu Xun had changed his story and now claimed he was forced by Gan Yang to clarify the video. The matter quickly escalated. Gan Yang had Xu Chenxi go to the police to gather information and also called an emergency meeting to resolve the crisis.

After understanding the seriousness of the situation, Ding Zhitong browsed her social media feed and noticed something odd about Wu Xun, which made her cancel her plans to leave. She went to a bar to check the surveillance footage, claiming she had lost something. But the staff thought she had ulterior motives and refused. Just then, the manager arrived and told everyone that since Ding Zhitong was a friend of President Wang, she could view the footage freely.

On the footage, she saw that the day before the run, Wu Xun had been drinking, which led to him falling and spraining his ankle. She anonymously sent the video to Wang Yi, and with it, Gan Yang quickly stabilized the situation. Seeing that Gan Yang was no longer in trouble, Ding Zhitong decided to leave. Just as she arrived at the airport, Gan Yang rushed over—but they still missed each other.

Gan Yang didn’t see her, as she had already passed through security. Then he unexpectedly saw Feng Sheng and Yu Shangna together and mistakenly thought Feng Sheng had betrayed Ding Zhitong. In his rage, he punched Feng Sheng. Feng Sheng explained that he was never married to Ding Zhitong. The year Gan Yang came looking for her, Feng Sheng had lied to him. He admitted he had wronged Gan Yang. Gan Yang watched the plane take off, overwhelmed by mixed emotions.
