Smile Code Episode 32 Recap
> Smile Code Recap
Yu Dule warned Gu Yi that Liu Ran was running a shell company and often made deals without any real backing. He advised her not to trust anything Liu Ran said too easily. When Gu Yi called Liu Ran, he claimed to be away on a business trip and asked her to discuss any urgent matters over the phone. Gu Yi asked Liu Ran for specifics about how the four performances each month were arranged.
Liu Ran explained that only well-known performers would be scheduled for shows, while less popular ones would remain in the background for now. He justified this by saying that only after assessing an actor’s consistent skill level could they satisfy clients and produce stable results. Gu Yi began to suspect that Liu Ran was operating on false promises.
When she questioned him, Liu Ran warned her that quitting midway would count as a breach of contract, requiring her to pay a penalty. After being swindled out of her money, Gu Yi returned home. Liang Daiwen, noticing her secretive behavior through the surveillance footage, immediately guessed what had happened. When he confronted her, Gu Yi admitted she had been scammed. She insisted she didn’t need Liang’s help and could handle the matter herself.
However, seeing Liang’s decisiveness in offering support, Gu Yi hesitated and asked him to encourage her when she felt disheartened. Guan Xingxin confronted Yu Dule, asking why he had been editing her shows without telling her. Yu Dule felt awkward and deliberately tried to avoid her. Guan pulled him aside and admitted she had been wrong, begging for his forgiveness.
She confessed that she had allowed her parents’ expectations to weigh on Yu Dule and acknowledged that it had caused him harm. Guan shared how exhausted she had been lately and expressed her hope for reconciliation. After a moment of thought, Yu Dule firmly refused, and the two parted ways. Liang Daiwen approached Shen Zhimin for help with Gu Yi’s case, determined to shut down Liu Ran’s company.
He exposed the company on social media, revealing reports of sexual harassment within the workplace. Liang insisted that Gu Yi should never return to such an environment. Left with no choice, Gu Yi returned to her old company and sought Zhang Junjie’s forgiveness. Zhang criticized Gu Yi for becoming complacent and relying on the company as her safety net after being deceived. Nevertheless, he ultimately agreed to let her come back.
Xu Guanrui thought Gu Yi had been foolish and advised her to think things through more carefully in the future to avoid being scammed again. “The bigger the circle, the more types of people you’ll encounter,” he remarked. Gu Yi then noticed a surge in followers on her social media account, finding it unexpectedly heartening. However, CEO Zhang had set a trap for Gu Yi, using Liu Ran to ensnare her and remove her from the industry entirely.
When CEO Zhang saw Gu Yi’s posts on social media exposing their actions, he realized it was damaging their reputation. Reluctantly, he called Gu Yi in for a private negotiation, but his hardened stance only made the situation unfair for Liang Daiwen. Gu Yi knew that Liang Daiwen still cared deeply about the time he was falsely accused of plagiarism. She told Liang not to forgive CEO Zhang.
CEO Zhang, on the other hand, was baffled by the pressure he had put on Liang that caused him to avoid him so strongly. What was supposed to be a gradual mending of relations kept being interrupted by unexpected twists. In the end, CEO Zhang relented and paid the penalty fees, severing all ties. With the matter resolved, Gu Yi returned to the stage with confidence. To her surprise, Liang Daiwen also went onstage to perform stand-up comedy.
His sweet words charmed the audience, making them gush over his heartfelt expressions. Yu Dule pulled Gu Yi onto the stage, allowing everyone to witness Liang’s public declaration of love for her. When Liang attempted to kneel and propose, Gu Yi quickly stopped him, flustered by the sudden gesture. Meanwhile, Guan Xingxin, heartbroken over her failed relationship, remained despondent.
Gu Yi published an article that received an overwhelming number of likes and positive feedback from users, marking another success in her career.
