Early in the morning, Han Su went to see her supervisor, Lawyer Xu, and told her that she wanted to compete for the opportunity to go to Hong Kong. Lawyer Xu informed her that a candidate had already been chosen and suggested that she gain more experience here for now. Han Su, however, didn’t want to stay and expressed her desire for a promotion, insisting on going to Hong Kong.

Lawyer Xu brought up the issue of the language barrier, but Han Su immediately responded by speaking in Cantonese, explaining that she had been learning it for over a year. Seeing that Han Su was well-prepared, Lawyer Xu told her to submit the application materials. Lawyer Xu then asked her how she would manage being away for three years, to which Han Su confidently replied that Qu Yipeng would support her. With that, she happily left the office.

When Qu Yipeng arrived at He Zhinan’s company and was about to speak to her, J-sister came and pulled him away again. A nearby colleague commented that boys from small towns like him are drawn to successful women like J-sister, who can help their careers, and they don’t even have to take responsibility. He Zhinan knew she couldn’t compete, so she quietly lowered her head. Soon after, she received a message from Qu Yipeng thanking her.

He Zhinan replied that it was no big deal, no need to thank her. Sun Hanhan’s colleague, Mo Nika, had met an executive thanks to her, and now the two were about to get married. Mo Nika came to the office and handed out wedding candies to everyone. Xin-jie and Sun Hanhan chatted in the break room, joking that she had quickly turned a client into a husband. After finishing their conversation, both women came out beaming and congratulated Mo Nika.

Mo Nika said she had to thank Sun Hanhan because without her, she wouldn’t have met President Sun. After hearing that, Sun Hanhan and Xin-jie exchanged a look, clearly reluctant. Then, Qu Yipeng texted He Zhinan again, asking her to help him out. He said that if she didn’t accept his invitation, J-sister would keep pestering him. He Zhinan told him to set the time and place, and that she would reluctantly agree.

The two met at the restaurant, and Qu Yipeng said he wasn’t sure about her tastes, so he had chosen a Western restaurant. He Zhinan replied that since she was a local, she could eat anything. Qu Yipeng then asked if she lived with her parents. He Zhinan replied that she lived alone and that her parents had already bought a house for her.

Qu Yipeng mentioned that he came from the mountains and still had to rent a place here. After finishing their meal, Qu Yipeng offered to take He Zhinan home. It turned out they lived in the same neighborhood, right across from each other. Qu Yipeng had known this for a while, but he hadn’t told He Zhinan. Back home, He Zhinan called Sun Hanhan and mentioned that Qu Yipeng’s family was from Liuzhou, and how difficult his situation was.

Sun Hanhan called him a "phoenix man. " He Zhinan asked her not to label people so easily, saying that she admired how genuine Qu Yipeng was for sharing his background, and thought he was very down-to-earth. Just as she said this, she received a text from Qu Yipeng inviting her out for tiramisu. He Zhinan’s heart raced.

She thought back to the sweet times she had with Gao Peng and tearfully asked herself if she could ever return to those days. In the end, she decided to go out for tiramisu with Qu Yipeng. Meanwhile, Han Su’s colleague, Zhao Shan, was eager to go to Hong Kong and asked Han Su if she could withdraw her application.

Han Su explained that it wasn’t just her applying, and if Zhao Shan was strong enough, she could definitely get the spot. She refused to withdraw, and Zhao Shan angrily insulted her, saying she didn’t appreciate kindness. When Han Su got home, she found Qu Yipeng eating snail noodles. She asked him how the new energy project she had introduced to him was going. Qu Yipeng responded that nothing had really materialized yet.

Han Su then told him to open the window because the smell of the fermented bamboo shoots wasn’t going away. This led to an argument. Qu Yipeng felt that Han Su was looking down on him, and Han Su said she couldn’t stand seeing someone who hadn’t finished his work yet could still sleep soundly. While Han Su was diligently working, Qu Yipeng was playing games on the side, showing no ambition.

He knew his background wasn’t great, but instead of trying to improve himself, he had set his sights on He Zhinan, who already owned property locally. His phone reminded him that tomorrow was his fourth anniversary with Han Su, but he changed it to an outing for tiramisu.
