Meng Haotian and Leng Siming were practicing the wedding ceremony under the guidance of the emcee, with Meng Haotian as the bridesmaid and Leng Siming as the best man. When adjusting the lights, Leng Siming felt a bit awkward due to Meng Haotian's proximity. After the wedding, everyone was playing around in the room when Leng Siming noticed Meng Haotian pouring a drink by herself, so he approached her and started chatting.

It turned out that before the wedding started, the original best man left due to a conflict. After observing for a week, Meng Haotian discovered Leng Siming and asked him to step in as the replacement best man. Leng Siming mentioned that Meng Haotian was the most daring crisis PR expert. Meng Haotian felt that as a professional bridesmaid, she must ensure that the wedding proceeds smoothly.

Soon after, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian started a drinking game, but Leng Siming ended up getting drunk after just one glass of alcohol.

At night, Meng Haotian was startled by Leng Siming sitting up from the bed while she was sitting in front of the dressing table. Yu Yang, who heard her scream, came to check and explained that Leng Siming had accidentally entered the wrong room due to his drunken state, and asked Meng Haotian to send him back. Meng Haotian agreed, considering that Yu Yang had paid for overtime.

Meng Haotian escorted Leng Siming back to his room at the Hyatt Hotel. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Leng Siming falling to the ground. She tried to drag him to the bed, but he pulled her down and she even dropped her phone. Meng Haotian groped for her phone in Leng Siming's embrace before leaving the room.

The next day, Leng Siming woke up and found himself lying on the floor. He tried to unlock his phone but couldn't. Meanwhile, Meng Haotian was awakened by her alarm clock at 10 o'clock and hurriedly went to work. On the bus, she received a call from Leng Siming, who said they had accidentally switched phones and told her that someone had called her.

They agreed to meet at 7 pm at the Huayitang flower shop. Leng Siming drove to Lingzhi Group and ran into the head of the personnel department. He asked about the allocation of interns and the head said they had too many and could only assign them randomly. Later, Leng Siming walked into the conference room and the head of the personnel department was about to kick him out, but Leng Siming introduced himself as the new chief technology officer and planned to make an online summary and provide technical support today to reduce the pressure on the personnel department. Meanwhile, Meng Haotian was discussing with General Manager Li in a café. Seeing her confident demeanor, Li asked her to send the contract to the finance department for review. Meng Haotian quickly agreed and had her subordinates escort Li out.

At night, at the Huayitang flower shop, Jiang Leilei was arranging flowers while Meng Haotian was busy looking at the account book. When Leng Siming arrived at the flower shop, he saw Meng Haotian signing a receipt and receiving a flower. They exchanged phones and Meng Haotian walked back to the flower shop without looking back.

After receiving a message, Meng Haotian learned that Mr. Li was coming and wanted to take him to a café outside, but Mr. Li had already entered the studio. Seeing the shabby studio, Mr. Li turned to leave. Meng Haotian stopped him, saying that she wanted him to take a closer look at the high-quality content produced in the studio. Mr. Li sighed and left quickly.

At Lingzhi Group, Zhou, the head of Wuxing Media, discussed product endorsement renewals with Yuan Wenbin. When Leng Siming approached, Yuan introduced Zhou to him and asked him to help send Zhou away. When they talked about renewals, Leng Siming thought that Zhao Shiyen's endorsement fee was too high, but Zhou believed it was a friendly price.

Outside the entrance of Lingzhi Group, Yuan Wenbin saw Meng Haotian and couldn't help but bring up their past relationship. During their conversation, it was revealed that Yuan Wenbin and Meng Haotian were once boyfriend and girlfriend, but Yuan Wenbin chose to give up Meng Haotian for his career. Meng Haotian ignored Yuan's attempts to reconcile and hurried into the company, where she met Zhou, who was about to leave.

Meng Haotian stopped Zhou and asked him to watch a video produced by her company, but she realized that the video had not been sent yet when she opened WeChat. Zhou said he was in a hurry, took her business card, and left in his car. Seeing Zhou leave, Leng Siming approached Meng Haotian and asked if she needed help. Meng Haotian asked him to catch up with Zhou's car.

On the car, Meng Haotian was thrilled to learn that Leng Siming knew Zhou Yu, the CEO. Later, when Zhou Yu celebrated his wife's birthday, his wife kept mentioning how he gave her a bag every year. She turned around and saw the video playing on the TV, moved to tears, and hugged Zhou Yu. Soon after, Meng Haotian received a call from Zhou Yu, who expressed his gratitude and willingness to communicate with her.

At night, Leng Siming accompanied Meng Haotian home. While chatting, they almost hit Fang Hui on the zebra crossing. Although Leng Siming braked in time, she still fainted on the ground. The two took Fang Hui to the hospital, and the hospital said she had taken an overdose of sleeping pills and was in a state of confusion. Learning that Fang Hui wanted to see them, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian went into the examination room. Fang Hui told them that she had lost her family and didn't want to live anymore. Seeing Fang Hui crying, Leng Siming told her to think about her child and not to underestimate herself. After speaking, Leng Siming left with Meng Haotian, and Fang Hui sat on the hospital bed lost in thought.

Later, Leng Siming took Meng Haotian to the Hua Yitang Flower Shop. Leng Siming expressed that he wanted to send a bouquet of flowers to a female friend. Seeing Meng Haotian shamelessly accept the money for the bouquet, Leng Siming couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, Meng Haotian received a phone call and promised to give a proposal to Mr. Li within two days.

The next day at work, Meng Haotian received an invitation to the Five Elements Media press conference sent by Jiang Leilei and called her to thank her. On the day of the press conference, subordinates informed Leng Siming about the relationship between Zhou Yu and Yuan Wenbin and warned him to handle their interpersonal relationships carefully. Meng Haotian took the initiative to greet Zhou Yu, but he was very cold, and Meng Haotian felt a little sad.

Meng Haotian went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup and overheard an assistant on the phone saying that Mr. Xiao from Ruida had been in a car accident. Meng Haotian walked out of the bathroom and saw Zhou Yu anxiously making a phone call. She asked him if he needed any help, but Zhou Yu ignored her and was about to leave. Suddenly, Zhou Yu stopped Meng Haotian and asked her if she dared to give a speech on stage. Meng Haotian said that she was not in a good position to do so, but when she saw that Zhou Yu was willing to reconsider cooperation, she agreed to prepare.

At the media conference, Meng Haotian took the stage and gave a speech about the development of short videos, intentionally mentioning Zhou Yu's cooperation with Pai Video. Zhou Yu listened to the applause around him and was very satisfied with Meng Haotian's performance.

After the conference, Leng Siming went to Yuan Wenbin's office. Yuan Wenbin said that the focus should be on high-end product lines and he hoped to see real technological innovations. Leng Siming looked at the market research conducted by the marketing department and believed that Lingzhi's customers were becoming younger, so they should not just focus on the high-end product line. After learning about the R&D budget for this season, Leng Siming thought that they should cut endorsement fees to fund research and development. Yuan Wenbin said that the market was not within Leng Siming's management scope, but Leng Siming felt that the company's marketing strategy and plan needed to be changed. The two of them had a different opinion on this.

Meng Haotian returned to her studio and was surprised to see Fang Hui there. Fang Hui told Meng Haotian about her past with her husband and thanked Meng and someone else for waking her up at that time. When Meng Haotian learned that the CEO, Mr. Xiao, who did not make it to the press conference, was Fang Hui's husband, she was very surprised. Fang Hui handed Meng Haotian the internal information and project proposal of Ruida Media's Five Elements Media project. She pointed out that the artist promoted in the project proposal is her husband's lover, and she wants to retaliate against them. Meng Haotian thanked Mrs. Fang for her trust but felt that she shouldn't involve herself in this matter. Fang Hui reminded Meng that seizing this opportunity could increase her chances of working with Zhou Yu.

On the other hand, Yuan Wenbin thought that Leng Siming only needed to be responsible for technical research and development. He told his father that Leng Siming did not have the right to manage marketing and other work. Yuan's father felt that it was not a bad thing for young people to have energy and that the key was to produce a good project proposal. Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Yu Yang handed Leng Siming Zhou Yu's itinerary.

Meng Haotian's mother, Hua Yitang, came to the flower shop, and after a short chat, Leng Siming came to find Meng Haotian. They went aside, and Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that the person she wanted to see was on the fifth floor of Xingyao Restaurant, and asked her to come over after she finished her work.

In the office, a subordinate handed Yuan Wenbin Leng Siming's resume. Yuan Wenbin didn't understand why Leng Siming didn't go back to the family business but instead went to work at Lingzhi. Later, Yuan Wenbin asked his subordinates about their thoughts on Leng Siming's proposal. The subordinate said that investment in research and development was indeed necessary, and Zhao Shiyuan's endorsement could be discussed with Zhou Yu for replacement. Meng Haotian went to Lingzhi to find Zhou Yu to contract for the promotion and marketing of Lingzhi's mobile phone spokesperson.

At the Starry Restaurant, Zhou Yu saw Leng Siming taking the initiative to greet someone. After Zhou Yu left, Leng Siming asked Meng Haotian if she wanted to cooperate with Lingzhi. Meng Haotian refused outright and went to the restroom. In the restroom, a woman kept mocking Meng Haotian and even grabbed her, not letting her go. When Meng Haotian shook off the woman's hand, the woman poured water on Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian slapped her, and the woman left in anger. Later, Leng Siming took Meng Haotian to his room to change her clothes. Meng Haotian told Leng Siming that the woman was her father's business partner and had been holding onto her because her father was imprisoned. Leng Siming felt that Meng Haotian didn't have to keep pretending to be strong and couldn't help teasing her. The two of them sweetly kissed.

Just then, Leng Nuan, who had suddenly returned to the country, rang the doorbell. Leng Siming went to open the door and was almost knocked over by the enthusiastic Leng Nuan. Seeing the cozy scene between the two, Meng Haotian almost misunderstood, but Leng Nuan produced her identification to prove that she was Leng Siming's sister. Suddenly, Meng Haotian received a work call and had to go to the cloakroom to change into Leng Nuan's clothes. Leng Nuan told Leng Siming that she wanted to go back to China to study at university and planned to concentrate on studying while staying with Leng Siming. Seeing this, Leng Siming agreed to let Leng Nuan stay.

When Meng Haotian was about to leave, Leng Siming quickly drove her. Leng Siming hurriedly stopped Meng Haotian from leaving and finally added her WeChat, very happy. Meng Haotian told Leng Siming not to misunderstand the kiss earlier, and Leng Siming held onto Meng Haotian as she turned around, lifted her up and put her in front of the car. Meng Haotian said that if he had enough patience, she might change her mind. Later, Meng Haotian left Leng Siming and went back to work.

Leng Siming received a phone call saying that Zhou Yu would personally check the marketing plan for Five Elements Media at Lingzhi, and he had to return to the company as soon as possible. At the Lingzhi meeting room, Yuan Wenbin said that Leng Siming would temporarily be responsible for the spokesperson and that Leng Siming wanted a younger face to be the spokesperson. His subordinates suggested that Zhou Yu should provide different backup options. Suddenly, Leng Siming received a phone call and temporarily left the meeting room. When he returned, Leng Siming said that they had to keep up with the times and that if they didn't change, they would only wait to die. Leng Siming asked Zhou Yu to come up with several plans that fit the tastes of young people today. Seeing that Yuan Wenbin remained silent, Zhou Yu had to promise repeatedly.

Jiang Leilei proposed to Meng Haotian that she could interview herself about the topic of career moms returning to work. Meng Haotian thought this was a good idea, but since Zhou Yu rarely contacts her, he sent his subordinate Tang Na to interview Jiang Leilei instead. At the coffee shop, the subordinate reminded Leng Siming that he couldn't be so arrogant, and that he should immediately find a way to save the situation regardless of Yuan Wenbin's face. Leng Siming didn't care, thinking he had just done what he should have done.

At Wu Xing Media, Zhou Yu told Meng Haotian that the marketing plan for Lingzhi's new quarter needed to be adjusted and hoped that she could provide some bright ideas. Although they had to compete with Ruida, Meng Haotian still seized the opportunity and promised Zhou Yu. At night, Meng Haotian was still working in the studio, and couldn't help but pick up the Ruida plan given by Fang Hui. After opening the file and glancing at it, she put the file into the shredder. The next day, Meng Haotian arrived at Wu Xing Media and handed the plan to Zhou Yu.

At the Lingzhi conference room, everyone looked thoughtful as they examined the contents of the plan. Yuan Wenbin expressed that Leng Siming's proposal was somewhat at odds with Lingzhi's established business positioning. However, Leng Siming believed that if the company wanted to transform, it had to take the first step. Then, Leng Siming analyzed the demand for mobile phones among Lingzhi's audience.

Meanwhile, Meng Haotian was about to hand the plan to Zhou Yu when he asked her to look at the top-trending video. Zhou Yu, who was aware of Meng Haotian's relationship with Leng Siming, said he believed in the power of the video and they didn't need to look at the plan anymore.

Leng Siming received a call from Meng Haotian and left the conference room. She asked him about the video, but he was angry and felt he should not have exposed his private life. Leng Siming checked the trending list and found out that the video was actually the one of him carrying Meng Haotian to the car that day. Yuan Wenbin suggested that since Leng Siming was too busy, they could postpone the meeting to another day and then he left the conference room in large strides.

At the restaurant, Leng Siming said that the angle of the video was just what the dashcam could capture, and he questioned Leng Nuan why she had to make the video public. He had sent the dashcam back to the hotel because the car was scratched when they left, and Leng Nuan helped him receive the package. Leng Nuan said she wanted to help Leng Siming pursue Meng Haotian, but he accused her of invading Meng Haotian's privacy. Leng Nuan realized her mistake and promised to apologize to Meng Haotian.

At the studio, Meng Haotian wanted her subordinate to contact the blogger to delete the video, but the subordinate saw many positive comments on the video and gained many fans, so he thought the video shouldn't be deleted. Therefore, Meng Haotian asked her assistant Amy to create a topic to maximize the commercial value of the video.

At the Lingzhi restaurant, Leng Siming, Meng Haotian, and Zhou Yu planned to discuss the plan in the conference room. Suddenly, Ruida's Xiao Rui appeared and stopped the three of them. In the office, Xiao Rui showed a video, claiming that Fang Hui had stolen Ruida's plan and gave it to Meng Haotian. He believed that Meng Haotian was a person who would do whatever it takes to achieve her goals and wanted to hold them legally responsible. Leng Siming said he couldn't get involved in the matter and left first. After leaving the office, Leng Siming immediately asked for Fang Hui's contact information from Li Donghai.

Meng Haotian said that Fang Hui came to Paishipin to customize a video and took away some of the data. She questioned whether Xiao Rui colluded with Fang Hui to frame Paishipin. She asked Zhou Yu to take her plan and compare it with Ruida's. Seeing this, Xiao Rui shouted "See you in court!" and pushed Zhou Yu out of the office. Meng Haotian told Zhou Yu that she really hadn't seen Ruida's plan, but Zhou Yu wanted not the truth but for her to solve the problem immediately.

Leng Siming found Fang Hui, who said she sincerely wanted to help Meng Haotian. Leng Siming suggested that Fang Hui become a shareholder of Ruida and become Xiao Rui's partner. Fang Hui thought that Xiao Rui would not give her shares, but Leng Siming said they both started from scratch, and Fang Hui could use this as leverage to take most of Xiao Rui's shares and make him stop attacking Meng Haotian.

Yuan Wenbin returned to the company and was surprised to hear his subordinates discussing the dispute between Xiao Rui and Meng Haotian. He went to Huayitang to find Meng Haotian, but Jiang Leilei refused to talk to him at all.

The next day, after Meng Haotian washed up, she talked to her mother on the phone. Her mother blamed her for not shouldering the millions of debts left by her father. Meng Haotian believed that ordinary people were being deceived, so she chose to take the initiative to repay the debt. Later, Meng Haotian received a call from Wu Jie, who said that her partner was hospitalized and hoped to get the money early. Seeing how anxious Wu Jie was, Meng Haotian promised to find a solution. Looking at the little amount left in her account, Meng Haotian couldn't help but sigh and called Jiang Leilei. However, she hesitated to speak. Jiang Leilei knew Meng Haotian's situation and took the initiative to transfer money to her. Not long after, Meng Haotian received a call from her mother and rushed to the hospital. Knowing that Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang had quarreled because of her mother's trip, Meng Haotian had to transfer money to her mother again.

When Meng Haotian arrived at the studio, she received a lawyer's letter from Ruida. On the other hand, Leng Siming handed the headphones to Fang Hui and asked her to do as he said. Meng Haotian received a call from Xiao Rui, who asked to meet her at 4 pm to talk. It turned out that Fang Hui asked him to call Meng Haotian. At the same time, Fang Hui told Xiao Rui that he should ease his relationship with Zhou Yu and maintain their small family by pretending to be together. To leave a good impression on Lingzhi, he should let go of Meng Haotian. However, Xiao Rui firmly refused to compromise with Meng Haotian.

Jiang Leilei's husband took out several documents and said they were routine contracts. Jiang Leilei hurriedly signed them under her husband's urging. Leng Ming entrusted Li Donghai's family to take care of Leng Nuan while he temporarily went out. Leng Nuan went to Li Donghai's house and happened to meet Li Chenyang playing games at the door.

On the other side, Zhou Yu, his wife, and Meng Haotian came to the clubhouse one after another. Fang Hui, as the host, came out to greet them. Fang Hui apologized to Meng Haotian and said that she originally wanted to bankrupt Xiao Rui, but later thought about the future, so she held today's party. Fang Hui told Meng Haotian that although Xiao Rui was unwilling to withdraw the lawsuit, he was now in a difficult situation. Soon after, Yuan Wenbin's fiancée Shen Chunyi also came to the clubhouse, constantly hinting at her sweet relationship with Yuan Wenbin and always flattering Meng Haotian.

At Li Donghai's house, Li Donghai said that Leng Nuan stayed in Sucheng to prepare for the college entrance examination and asked Li Chenyang to tutor her every weekend.

Yuan Wenbin and Leng Ming also came to the clubhouse. Shen Chunyi took the initiative to come to the door and held Yuan Wenbin's arm. Yuan Wenbin was surprised to see Meng Haotian here. Xiao Rui said that he had already transferred some of his shares to Fang Hui, and in the future, he and Fang Hui would work together in their business. Just then, Zhou Yu actually took the initiative to invite Meng Haotian to cooperate in front of everyone, and they all raised their glasses to drink.

Later, Fang Hui, Mrs. Zhou, Meng Haotian, and Shen Chunyi gathered together to play mahjong. Shen Chunyi mocked Meng Haotian for wearing mismatched shoes, but Meng Haotian cleverly refuted her. In the billiard room, Yuan Wenbin and Leng Siming played pool and chatted. Yuan Wenbin said that as Meng Haotian's ex-boyfriend, he knew her very well. Although she appeared gentle on the surface, she was actually very determined. Leng Siming believed that everything was in the past and that Meng Haotian was good, at least for himself.

Fang Hui pulled Meng Haotian away from the mahjong table and sat down to talk with Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui asked Meng Haotian to exchange the contract to withdraw the lawsuit, but Meng Haotian insisted that she did not plagiarize and warned Xiao Rui that he was still on the brink of losing her trust.

At night, Meng Haotian left the club and happily told the Pie Video staff that Ruida had withdrawn the lawsuit. Leng Siming snatched Meng Haotian's phone and wanted her to stay at the club tonight. Meng Haotian couldn't take back her phone, and accidentally sprained her foot while trying to leave. Seeing Meng Haotian stubbornly walking, Leng Siming went forward and carried her back to his room. Since she couldn't get a taxi, Meng Haotian decided to stay at the club and asked Leng Siming to help her get the room card.

Meng Haotian walked to the terrace and unexpectedly met Yuan Wenbin from the neighboring room. Yuan Wenbin questioned her about her relationship with Leng Siming, expressing regret for choosing the wrong person back then. Meng Haotian told him that she had long forgotten about it. After Meng Haotian went into her room, Shen Chunyi went to the terrace and hugged Yuan Wenbin, but he was in a bad mood and pushed her away before leaving the terrace.

In the room, Yuan Wenbin questioned why Shen Chunyi was at the club today, expressing his dislike for her sudden appearance. Shen Chunyi apologized. Yuan Wenbin emphasized that he hates it when people try to be clever and hopes that Shen Chunyi will not socialize with his wife and other women frequently. Shen Chunyi apologized again. Yuan Wenbin told Shen Chunyi that although he and Meng Haotian have broken up, they are still good friends and work partners. He hopes that Shen Chunyi will not overthink things. Shen Chunyi expressed that she feels insecure and cannot control herself. Yuan Wenbin asked her to be more sensible before leaving the room.

At the noodle shop owned by Old Yuan, he expressed that it is difficult for Leng Siming to learn about interpersonal relationships at Lingzhi, as the old employees at Lingzhi and Yuan Wenbin's way of thinking are somewhat conservative, which will inevitably cause clashes. Leng Siming didn't mind. Seeing this, Old Yuan asked Leng Siming to have a meal at the noodle shop when he is free.

Shen Chunyi found a man who believed that Yuan Wenbin had a significant personality disorder, which is why he exhibited strong control tendencies in his work and life. If not controlled in time, there may be more complications later. Shen Chunyi refuted, thinking that Yuan Wenbin was only behaving this way because of recent stress. The man suggested that Shen Chunyi bring Yuan Wenbin to meet him in person so that he could give specific advice. Shen Chunyi thanked the man for his help but decided to find a solution on her own.

At the café, Zhou Yu felt uneasy about the audition for a new spokesperson. Yuan Wenbin said that the chairman had personally approved Leng Siming's application, and he could do nothing about it. Zhou Yu was worried that an amateur might be selected in the audition, but Yuan Wenbin assured him that the artist management would be handled by Wu Xing Media. However, if an amateur were selected, Wu Xing Media's offer would need to be adjusted accordingly. Zhou Yu was relieved to hear this. Yuan Wenbin asked Zhou Yu if he was sure about cooperating with Pai Video. Zhou Yu believed that collaboration could increase their online traffic, and Pai Video's offer was indeed lower than Ruida's.

In the office, Li Donghai found Leng Siming and told him that the audition for the spokesperson was about to begin, and Zhou Yu had contacted Yuan Wenbin several times. Leng Siming pretended not to know since Yuan Wenbin did not inform him. Li Donghai believed that Yuan Wenbin was the chairman's biological son, so Leng Siming should not confront him and should focus on protecting himself. Leng Siming told him that as long as he stood on the position of maximizing Lingzhi Group's interests, no one could find fault with him.

Upon learning that Li Chenyang was going to participate in the audition, Leng Nuan couldn't help but mock him, and they started playfully fighting. Leng Siming walked into the café and told Leng Nuan that they had moved and had a new home. Li Chenyang took out a pile of review materials and planned to help Leng Nuan prepare for the entrance exam. Leng Siming was very pleased. Li Chenyang told Leng Siming that he planned to participate in the audition for Lingzhi's spokesperson, and Leng Siming encouraged him to do his best. Leng Nuan didn't want to study with Li Chenyang and said that if he could become Lingzhi's spokesperson, she would obey him. They high-fived and made a promise.

Meng Haotian opened the door to find that it was Leng Siming standing there. Initially, she refused to accept the high heels that Leng Siming had given her, but eventually she gave him the money for them. When she asked why he had come to deliver the shoes, Leng Siming explained that he had moved into the neighborhood as her new neighbor. Meng Haotian was startled by this news. Just then, Meng Haotian's mother appeared and observed their intimate interaction, leaving her with some thoughts.

Meng Haotian's mother then asked Leng Siming about his family and work situation, but Meng Haotian pulled him away and asked him to leave. After Leng Siming left, Meng Haotian's mother asked her for money, but she explained that she was still paying off her debt every month. Frustrated with her mother's persistence, Meng Haotian left her home, but she forgot to bring her phone. Seeing Leng Siming still waiting outside, she decided to spend the night at his house. After Meng Haotian left, her mother helped clean up her table, filled the refrigerator with food, and left a note before departing.

That night, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian sat on the bed drinking beer together. When he found out that Meng Haotian still owed 1.8 million in debt, Leng Siming couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He admired her for her resilience in paying off her debt and even considered helping her father. The two of them shared their thoughts and frustrations with each other.

The next morning, they woke up in bed together. Leng Siming couldn't hold back his feelings anymore and confessed his love to Meng Haotian. She wanted to escape several times but was pulled back by Leng Siming. They almost kissed, but were interrupted by Leng Nuan knocking on the door.

After getting ready, Leng Siming accompanied Meng Haotian to work. He asked if she had considered becoming an artist like those at Wuxing Media, but she felt that she didn't have the same connections as Zhou Yu. Leng Siming told her that Lingzhi was holding auditions for spokespersons, and she could compete with Zhou Yu.

At Li Donghai's house, Yuan Wenbin learned that Li Chenyang was planning to participate in the audition and strongly opposed it. Leng Nuan couldn't help but argue with him, but Li Chenyang insisted on his own opinion. Seeing this, Yuan Wenbin didn't say much and left. Under Yuan Wenbin's arrangement, Zhou Yu contacted Li Chenyang and invited him to shoot a promotional video in the studio. After learning that Leng Siming had moved in next door to Meng Haotian, Jiang Leilei urged her to seize the opportunity and start a relationship with him.

In the office, Yuan Wenbin was very angry watching the video posted by the official account showing Leng Siming holding Meng Haotian. His subordinate asked him to report this to the chairman, but Yuan Wenbin said the chairman was traveling in Europe and didn't want to disturb him.

Leng Siming accused Leng Nuan of making a mistake, but Leng Nuan argued that the official account had already agreed to post the video and many people had voted for Leng Siming, which was not a bad thing. It turned out that Leng Nuan didn't want Li Chenyang to become the spokesperson, so she did that. At night, Yuan Wenbin sat on his bed looking at his father's phone number, recalling the scene when he was bullied by other shareholders when he first started working.

Leng Siming was very angry to find out that he couldn't withdraw from the audition after the video was posted. Li Donghai couldn't help teasing him, saying that the top ten vote-getters would go straight to the finals. In the office, Yuan Wenbin instructed his subordinates to return the quote for the Five Elements Media audition artists to Zhou Yu, asking him to reduce the price by another 30% to show their sincerity, and also ordered his subordinates to ensure that Li Chenyang entered the finals.

In Hua Yitang, Meng Haotian found out that Chen Jiaojiao was actually waiting for her. Chen Jiaojiao knew that Meng Haotian was a professional bridesmaid and wanted her to handle the flower arrangement and scene design for her wedding. Meng Haotian said she would consider it.

Jiang Leilei returned to the flower shop and met Chen Jiaojiao leaving. Chen Jiaojiao believed that Meng Haotian had stolen her boyfriend Chen Dong, but now she was going to marry Cao Dong and wanted to show off. Meng Haotian didn't care who the groom was, but she had confronted Chen Jiaojiao in public before. Jiang Leilei thought Meng Haotian shouldn't take this order, but Meng Haotian was willing to do it as long as she could handle it. Jiang Leilei objected, thinking that Chen Jiaojiao had bad intentions, but Meng Haotian ignored her. At that moment, Leng Siming walked into the flower shop.

On the university campus, Li Chenyang handed a book to Leng Nuan and saw that she was still playing games. Li Chenyang took her phone away and told her to focus on her studies. Leng Nuan told Li Chenyang that he had entered the finals, but when Li Chenyang received a call from Yuan Wenbin asking him to reshoot a video, he wanted to withdraw from the competition. Later, he thought he couldn't make it to the finals anyway and decided to let his classmates shoot a video for him. In the car, Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that the contract for outsourcing spokesperson promotion hadn't been approved, and he believed that Yuan Wenbin was targeting him, but Meng Haotian thought Yuan Wenbin just wanted to control everything and decided to find a breakthrough on her own.

At the studio, Meng Haotian received a call from Wu Jie and hurried to the hospital. Wu Jie said her husband urgently needed money for a brain hemorrhage and wanted Meng Haotian to advance all the money she owed her. Seeing Wu Jie's anxious expression, Meng Haotian called her subordinate and had her transfer the company's money to herself. Then, Meng Haotian replied to Chen Jiaojiao's message, promising to attend the wedding.

At the coffee shop, Leng Nuan secretly watched Li Chenyang's new video, in which he was willing to cancel their bet. She handed her phone to Li Chenyang, and only then did he realize that his votes had skyrocketed.

At the wedding, Meng Haotian spent several hours arranging the venue to ensure the freshness of the embroidered ball. But little did she know that Chen Jiaojiao kept complaining to Cao Dong about the bouquets not being elegant enough. After Cao Dong left, Chen Jiaojiao took Meng Haotian into the room.

Meng Haotian finally started doing her makeup, but Chen Jiaojiao deliberately made things difficult for her, asking her to take photos of herself and the other bridesmaids. Chen Jiaojiao even threw a pillow at Meng Haotian during the photo shoot, and Meng Haotian couldn't take it anymore, so she called Chen Jiaojiao out of the room. Meng Haotian said she hoped to help Chen Jiaojiao with the wedding arrangements, but Chen Jiaojiao pretended to be innocent and continued to make things difficult for her. Just then, Leng Siming appeared with Cao Dong, and Chen Jiaojiao admitted that she didn't really want Meng Haotian to be a bridesmaid. When she saw that Cao Dong was willing to pay for the flowers and decorations, Meng Haotian left in a hurry.

It turned out that Leng Siming accidentally overheard Meng Haotian and Jiang Leilei's conversation at the flower shop and had suspected something was wrong from the beginning. That's why he appeared in time. Seeing Leng Siming, Meng Haotian couldn't help but hug and thank him.

In the final results of the audition, Li Chenyang was the top vote-getter and became Lingzhi's spokesperson. Leng Siming asked Li Chenyang about his thoughts on the endorsement fee, and Li Chenyang said he may already have an economic company. Leng Siming planned to meet with the company's boss who would shoot Li Chenyang's second promotional video and was very happy to see that it was Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian told Leng Siming about her plans for Li Chenyang's future, but Leng Siming felt that Meng Haotian shouldn't sign Li Chenyang and proposed a bet - if Meng Haotian lost, she would become his girlfriend.

Jiang Leilei's husband, Lao Luo, walked into the villa with his luggage. The woman in the villa said that their daughter Su Su needed to adapt to an international school a year early, which was why they had to move hastily. Lao Luo gave a gift to the woman and told her that he had to go on a business trip in the suburbs, and asked the woman and Su Su to stay home as much as possible. He then dragged his suitcase and left.

Jiang Leilei had just returned home with her son Xiao Tuan when Lao Luo arrived with his luggage. The woman behind the tree watched the sweet scene of the two of them and secretly felt sad. They prepared to eat, and Xiao Tuan gave Lao Luo a drawing as a gift. Jiang Leilei wanted Xiao Tuan to learn how to draw with Teacher Bai, who had just moved into the neighborhood. Hearing their conversation, Lao Luo seemed to be lost in thought. Jiang Leilei asked if Lao Luo could let Xiao Tuan learn how to draw, but Lao Luo quickly changed the subject.

In the studio, Meng Haotian had just received flowers sent by Leng Siming when Li Chenyang walked into the studio. Later, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian signed a contract in the office. It turned out that Meng Haotian had taken over the promotion business of Lingzhi through Li Chenyang's agency contract.

In the office, Xiao Rui told Zhou Yu that the result of the audition had already been settled on Li Chenyang, the nephew of Yuan Wenbin, and all the Five Element performers were accompanying him. Zhou Yu didn't care. Xiao Rui thought Zhou Yu was naive and told him that Li Chenyang had already signed a contract with a rival video platform. Zhou Yu was very angry and determined to get revenge.

Before the live broadcast of Lingzhi CH1022, Li Chenyang was nervous. Meng Haotian reminded him of the key points of the live broadcast. The event officially began, and Zhou Yu ordered his subordinates to take action. Li Chenyang introduced the reason for the live broadcast on the mountain, which was that Lingzhi's new phone was designed for young people's outdoor travel and mountain exploration, and began to introduce the phone's features. Just then, the live broadcast suddenly had a network problem, and the phone lost its signal, forcing the live broadcast to be interrupted. Meng Haotian quickly made a decision and instructed her subordinates to launch a lucky draw in the live broadcast room to stabilize the audience's interest.

In Lingzhi's office, the board of directors immediately asked Yuan Wenbin and others to come up with an emergency plan and not to let the press conference be cancelled. Leng Siming felt that they could use the lucky draw and public opinion in the live broadcast room to attract a wave of traffic.

At the press conference, reporters questioned Li Chenyang about the communication failure that caused the phone to go offline, and also mentioned Li Chenyang's relationship with Lingzhi's senior management, questioning the fairness of the audition. Li Chenyang was at a loss, and the reporters on the scene were talking about it. The staff quickly removed the troublesome reporters, but then realized that the reporters had a problem, and secretly followed them.

On the scene, reporters questioned Li Chenyang for not understanding enough about the phone product's functions as a spokesperson. At this critical moment, Meng Haotian connected with Li Chenyang and publicly took responsibility in the live broadcast, stabilizing all customers and continuing the process of pushing the phone.

At the same time, some photos were taken by the staff who silently followed the reporters causing trouble. The staff took the reporter's signal jammer and handed it to Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian looked at the recruitment advertisement taken by the staff and found out that the woman sitting in the car's passenger seat was actually Zhou Yu's assistant, and it turned out that Zhou Yu was behind the scenes.

Zhou Yu of Wuxing Media stated that he had fulfilled his promise. Xiao Rui presented a new pricing plan and was willing to reduce the cost in the publicity aspect of Wuxing artists. At this time, Zhou Yu received the photos sent by Meng Haotian and believed that Meng Haotian had evidence and negotiating power. He also had some unclear relationship with Lingzhi and decided to let Meng Haotian go for now. However, Xiao Rui was not willing to give up and was determined to continue to retaliate against Meng Haotian.

In the studio, Meng Haotian learned that Lingzhi's endorsement fee had been paid and quickly instructed her subordinates to transfer money to Li Chenyang and issue all employees' wages and bonuses. Afterwards, Meng Haotian excitedly crossed out part of her debt on the notebook.

Later, Meng Haotian and Leng Siming had dinner together at a hot pot restaurant. Meng Haotian believed that Zhou Yu and Xiao Rui would not let her go, while Leng Siming praised Meng Haotian for being decisive today. Meng Haotian admitted that she did owe some debt due to Li Chenyang's incident and thanked Leng Siming for his help.

When Yuan Wenbin returned home, he saw Shen Chunyi arranging flowers in the living room. Shen Chunyi wanted to celebrate the success of the Lingzhi new product launch, but Yuan Wenbin was not in the mood and left. Shen Chunyi followed and comforted him in a gentle voice after seeing that Yuan Wenbin was upset due to not being recognized three years ago. Yuan Wenbin apologized for bringing his emotions home, and they went back to the house and had dinner together in the dining room. Yuan Wenbin asked Shen Chunyi if she would like to move back in, and they smiled at each other.

At night, Leng Siming lay on the sofa at Meng Haotian's house. Meng Haotian couldn't help but tease Leng Siming for having a low alcohol tolerance. Leng Siming told Meng Haotian to forget about what happened today and not blame herself for other people's mistakes. Meng Haotian couldn't resist telling Leng Siming her experience, and Leng Siming looked at her with compassion and told her not to change herself.

Meng Haotian accompanied Leng Siming to his doorstep. Suddenly, she asked if he would like to be her boyfriend. Leng Siming was somewhat incredulous, but Meng Haotian took the initiative to kiss him.

At Jiang Leilei's house, she sighed with relief that the two of them were finally together and urged Leng Siming to treat Meng Haotian well. Before dinner, Jiang Leilei thanked Lao Luo for entrusting her with the flower shop and celebrated the fact that Meng Haotian and Leng Siming were now a couple. She couldn't help but imagine what their wedding scene would look like.

At the coffee shop, Li Chenyang urged Leng Nuan to study hard and go back to school with her backpack. Li Chenyang walked into the campus, and Leng Nuan wanted to follow him into the school but was recognized by the security guard as not being a student and was not allowed to enter the campus. So, Leng Nuan had to leave.

At the swimming pool, Xiaotuan was playing by the water when suddenly someone forcefully pushed him into the pool. The community security guard ran to inform Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo that Xiaotuan had fallen into the water. They hurried to the swimming pool and found Xiaotuan already conscious, with Bai Xin Bai standing by his side. Jiang Leilei thanked Bai Xin for saving Xiaotuan.

After returning home, Jiang Leilei wanted to invite Bai Xin to dinner as a thank you, but Lao Luo tried to dissuade her. Finally, Jiang Leilei insisted and Lao Luo reluctantly agreed. Meng Haotian noticed that Lao Luo and Bai Xin seemed strange at the swimming pool, but Leng Siming didn't pay much attention.

Lao Luo went to Bai Xin's house. Bai Xin told Lao Luo that she saved Xiaotuan to let him know that she already knew about his situation. Lao Luo told her that he was single and only had a previous marriage. Bai Xin remembered that when they were together, Lao Luo was still married and Jiang Leilei was pregnant. Lao Luo said he was already divorced, but Jiang Leilei used the child as a means of leverage. Bai Xin stated that she would never break up someone else's family. Lao Luo repeatedly emphasized that he was single and that Su Su and Xiaotuan were his children.

Soon after, Lao Luo brought Bai Xin home for dinner. Jiang Leilei introduced Bai Xin to Leng Siming and Meng Haotian, and expressed her desire for Xiaotuan to learn painting from Bai Xin. Despite Lao Luo's objections, Bai Xin agreed to teach Xiaotuan. During the conversation, Meng Haotian realized that something was wrong and wanted to ask a question, but Leng Siming stopped her. After leaving Jiang Leilei's house, Meng Haotian believed that if she didn't ask, Jiang Leilei would continue to be kept in the dark. Leng Siming thought that it was a matter between two families, and maybe they were just overthinking things, and there was no need to do anything for the time being.

Over the weekend, Meng Haotian received a call from her subordinate, Ai Mi, while Leng Siming received a call from Yu Yang, who asked him to come back to the company for a meeting in half an hour. They both checked the news and found that someone had posted a video accusing Li Chenyang of isolating him. Ai Mi told Meng Haotian that the person who posted the video was named Chun Lu and was a short video blogger. Meng Haotian believed that he just wanted to gain attention and deliberately fabricated the situation.

At this time, Leng Siming called. After learning that Zhou Yu was going to Lingzhi, Meng Haotian hurried over. Unable to find Li Chenyang's parents and with Li Chenyang not even carrying his phone, Leng Nuan decided to go to his previous school with his parents to look for him.

In the Lingzhi office, Zhou Yu asked Lingzhi Group and Li Chenyang to make a cut and promote a new spokesperson, and then help Li Chenyang whitewash his image after the heat dies down. Meng Haotian also rushed to the office, and Yuan Wenbin listened to the arguments of the few people, thinking that Zhou Yu's approach was the most effective. Meng Haotian believed that the most urgent task was to find Li Chenyang, restore the truth of the matter, and leave with Leng Siming.

Leng Siming and Meng Haotian went to restaurants, game centers, and internet cafes but couldn't find Li Chenyang. Through Leng Nuan, they found out that Chunlu was indeed Li Chenyang's middle school classmate, and that Li Chenyang took his tablet when he left home. Leng Siming quickly located Li Chenyang's location on the computer.

Meanwhile, Jiang Leilei brought Xiaotuan to Bai Xin's house. Bai Xin asked Su Su to take Xiaotuan to see the other children painting. Jiang Leilei and Bai Xin sat on the sofa and chatted. When Bai Xin saw Jiang Leilei take out some skincare products as a gift, she took out a scarf that Lao Luo had previously given her and gave it to Jiang Leilei.

Later, Jiang Leilei returned home and showed off the gift Bai Xin gave her to Lao Luo. Lao Luo told her not to inquire too much about Bai Xin's husband and took out some documents from his briefcase. Jiang Leilei couldn't understand the contents of the documents, but Lao Luo urged her to quickly sign the contract, so she hastily signed it.

By the lake, Leng Nuan found Li Chenyang first and told him that he must come forward to clarify the truth in order to restore his reputation. Soon after, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian arrived. Meng Haotian asked Li Chenyang what happened back then. It turned out that a group of people who often gathered together at school bullied Chunlu. Li Chenyang had once stood up for him, but he was too scared. Later, even if Chunlu wasn't bullied, he still stood by and did nothing with that group of people. Meng Haotian saw his guilty conscience and suggested that Li Chenyang go apologize.

Meng Haotian asked Li Chenyang to apologize to Chunlu and expressed that Chunlu was very disappointed with Li Chenyang for abandoning him. Li Chenyang was worried that apologizing would be equivalent to admitting to campus bullying. Leng Siming said he would handle the situation well and let him have a clear conscience. Seeing everyone's support, Li Chenyang was willing to go home.

At night, Meng Haotian received a call from Fang Hui. Yuan Wenbin returned home, and Shen Chunyi couldn't wait to introduce him to the property she had seen. However, Yuan Wenbin unexpectedly said he wasn't in the mood for marriage. Seeing him mentally and physically exhausted due to work, Shen Chunyi had no choice but to let him rest first.

After a few days, Li Chenyang held a live press conference and, encouraged by Meng Haotian, admitted to campus bullying, stating that he wanted to be accountable to his former classmates. It turned out that Fang Hui had informed Meng Haotian over the phone that Xiao Rui had bribed Chunlu, and Chunlu was also being continuously pressured by public opinion. So Meng Haotian approached Chunlu and persuaded him, while Leng Siming presented him with a cooperation contract for the "Anti-Bullying Special Program." The staff brought Chunlu to the live broadcast scene, and Li Chenyang apologized to Chunlu. Chunlu explained the true situation back then, stating that everything was a misunderstanding. Finally, the two appealed to oppose bullying and pay attention to the school environment.

Wuxing Communications, Zhou Yu told Xiao Rui to stop and reminded him not to lose sight of the big picture over small matters. Xiao Rui agreed to temporarily let go of Meng Haotian. On the other hand, Lao Yuan and Yuan Wenbin had a dispute about the company and Shen Chunyi. Lao Yuan noticed that Yuan Wenbin was too eager to control everything, and he was afraid of losing.

In the Lingzhi meeting room, Leng Siming proposed the acquisition of Daiyue Technology Company, but Yuan Wenbin and other shareholders disagreed. Later, Leng Siming arrived at the noodle shop owned by Lao Yuan. Lao Yuan knew that Leng Siming wanted to acquire Daiyue and was worried that he was being too aggressive. Leng Siming expressed that he only wanted to do a good job and bring value to Lingzhi.

In the office, a subordinate informed Yuan Wenbin that they had seen Shen Chunyi going to a mental health clinic and felt that her mental state was not good. Yuan Wenbin drove to the clinic and happened to see Shen Chunyi leaving, with a man chasing after her and handing her clothes. Yuan Wenbin followed the man upstairs and immediately punched him upon entering the room, then asked about his relationship with Shen Chunyi. The man, named Ji Mo, introduced himself as a psychology Ph.D. and currently an intern at the Xinqiao Mental Health Clinic. Ji Mo took Yuan Wenbin into a room and explained the situation of Shen Chunyi seeking psychological treatment, revealing that she was his first patient. Shen Chunyi had a severe lack of security, which led her to overly care about Yuan Wenbin and fail to realize that she was slowly losing herself.

At a restaurant, Yuan Wenbin proposed breaking up with Shen Chunyi, expressing that his mind was solely focused on the company and believing that they were not suitable to be together. He also mentioned that the better Shen Chunyi treated him, the greater his psychological pressure became. Seeing that Yuan Wenbin wanted to continue talking, Shen Chunyi made an excuse to go shopping with her friends and left the restaurant.

At Jiang Leilei's home, her aunt took out something from Lao Luo's pocket. Jiang Leilei looked at the date on the illegal parking notification and called Lao Luo, urging him to come home. In the garden, Jiang Leilei asked Lao Luo about the car fine. Lao Luo remained calm and explained that he had asked Lao Zhang to drive the car for repairs. Jiang Leilei questioned whether he really went on a business trip. Lao Luo, looking at Jiang Leilei crying, admitted that it was indeed Lao Zhang who drove the car for personal matters, leading to the fine. Then, Lao Luo took out a subcontracting agreement for a project and asked Jiang Leilei to sign it.

Ji Mo entered the room and saw the broken mirror on the floor. Shen Chunyi told Ji Mo that Yuan Wenbin had proposed breaking up. Although she felt fearful of Yuan Wenbin's control, she couldn't leave him because she had become accustomed to it.

In the Lingzhi meeting room, Lao Yuan expressed support for acquiring Daiyue, believing that Daiyue's technology would be an added advantage for Lingzhi. However, other directors and Yuan Wenbin still disagreed. Leng Siming informed them that Daiyue's funding chain had broken, and now would be a good time to negotiate the price. Back in the office, Yuan Wenbin planned to turn the tables and stated that he would delegate the follow-up work of the base station to his subordinate, giving him an opportunity to defeat Leng Siming and become the Chief Technology Officer.

Jiang Leilei invited Meng Haotian and Leng Siming to go on vacation to Bihu Bay. Bai Xin happened to be seeing off Xiao Tuan at the door. Xiao Tuan was in a hurry to go back and watch cartoons, so he pulled Jiang Leilei and left. Meng Haotian asked if Bai Xin had seen Lao Luo before. Bai Xin said they had only met in the painting class. Meng Haotian remarked that it wasn't easy for Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo to start from scratch together. Bai Xin said they should protect the happiness of their own families.

Shen Chunyi walked into Lingzhi's office and placed a stewed soup in front of Yuan Wenbin. Yuan Wenbin felt that Shen Chunyi didn't need to be with him. Shen Chunyi said she had been feeling down recently. Yuan Wenbin told her to love herself first and believed that she would be better off without him.

Later, Shen Chunyi bought high-calorie snacks and went to Ji Mo's apartment. Ji Mo thought she was starting to take care of herself, but Shen Chunyi felt that if she gained more weight and had more energy, Yuan Wenbin would think she had learned to love herself and would have the ability to love him. Seeing her eating and drinking recklessly, Ji Mo stopped Shen Chunyi, saying that he didn't have the ability to heal her. However, Shen Chunyi didn't want to see other doctors and just wanted to be quiet for a while.

The four of them arrived at Bihu Bay for their vacation. Meng Haotian took the initiative to ask Jiang Leilei if she could adapt if her ivory tower collapsed. Jiang Leilei felt that it was impossible to assume something that hadn't happened.

At night, Jiang Leilei arranged for the two of them to stay in the same room, and they felt a bit awkward. Meng Haotian went into the bathroom to tidy up. Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo suddenly heard a scream, so they went to the front of the door to eavesdrop, only to find out that it was a guest from another room having a massage. Later, Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo had a massage in the room together.

Meng Haotian came out of the bathroom, and Leng Siming offered to take her to see the stars.

Lao Luo, who was having a massage, saw his phone and quickly got up and walked aside. He told the other person that he was at Wanghu Bay and agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon. When Jiang Leilei asked, Lao Luo said it was work-related. At this moment, Leng Siming and Meng Haotian were sitting on the terrace watching the stars, and they couldn't help but kiss.

The next day, Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo left with their luggage. In the Paishi video studio, Li Chenyang was live-streaming sales, but before he could introduce the products, they were sold out directly. Leng Siming thought he could enjoy some alone time with Meng Haotian in the restaurant, but to his surprise, Meng Haotian also invited Lu Ping from Jiayu Investments. At Bai Xin's house, Jiang Leilei looked at Xiao Tuan studying drawing seriously and felt very happy. After the other parents left, Jiang Leilei took out the specialty products she bought during the vacation and handed them to Bai Xin. Bai Xin instinctively asked if she was on vacation or a business trip.

In the restaurant, Lu Ping mentioned their previous dinner at the seafood restaurant with Lao Luo and Lao Luo's wife. Leng Siming recalled that during the vacation, Jiang Leilei didn't eat any seafood because of her seafood allergy. Lu Ping showed a picture of a painting given to him by Lao Luo's wife, and Meng Haotian enlarged the picture, only to discover that the signature at the bottom right was actually Bai Xin's.

At Bai Xin's house, Bai Xin poured tea and handed it to Jiang Leilei, saying it was Golden Osmanthus tea brought back by her husband from Fujian. Jiang Leilei recalled that Lao Luo had also brought back this kind of tea during his business trip to Fujian last year. Jiang Leilei asked Bai Xin to write a recommendation letter for Xiao Tuan, as Xiao Tuan would be going to an international school. Bai Xin looked through the information and saw Jiang Leilei's wedding photo with Lao Luo, and she froze on the spot.

Bai Xin asked Jiang Leilei if she and Lao Luo still had a normal marital relationship. Jiang Leilei said they had been married for seven years. It was then that Bai Xin realized that Jiang Leilei and Lao Luo didn't get married just because of Xiao Tuan. At this moment, Jiang Leilei accidentally saw a note on Bai Xin's phone that said "30 days left until his 48th birthday," and she suddenly realized something. She wanted to go to the bathroom to calm down but found Lao Luo's frequently used perfume there. Jiang Leilei took the perfume to the living room and questioned Bai Xin, asking whose child Su Su really was.

After finishing her meal, Meng Haotian couldn't wait to call Jiang Leilei, but Jiang Leilei told her first that Lao Luo had cheated on her. Meng Haotian drove to Jiang Leilei's house, where Jiang Leilei tearfully revealed that Lao Luo had deceived her for so many years and that she had been raising Bai Xin's ex-husband's child. When she and Bai Xin tried to call Lao Luo, his phone showed as switched off, and the company said he hadn't gone on a business trip at all. Unable to hold back, Meng Haotian ran to Bai Xin's house and thought Bai Xin was either foolish or malicious. Bai Xin retorted, saying that Lao Luo had always told her that he was with Jiang Leilei because of Xiao Tuan.

Bai Xin planned to move out of the neighborhood with Su Su in the future and cut off contact with them. Suddenly, Jiang Leilei questioned Bai Xin about where she bought the vase and flowers. Bai Xin replied that they were given by Lao Luo. Jiang Leilei recalled the scene when Lao Luo said he would give them to his partner and kept saying, "It's so dirty." When she learned that the scarf Bai Xin gave her was also given by Lao Luo, she broke down and cried uncontrollably.

In the café, Li Chenyang believed that his current job wouldn't allow him to grow. Leng Siming told him to do what he wanted to do. Meng Haotian thought that Jiang Leilei didn't need to be tangled up but should think about how to handle their current relationship and future life. Seeing Jiang Leilei's sad expression, Meng Haotian promised to stay and accompany her.

In the restaurant, a subordinate told Yuan Wenbin that Dai Yue's company indeed needed urgent financing. After hinting at the person in charge there, he had the company's legal department tamper with Leng Siming's contract, obscuring the part about technical supply, but Leng Siming didn't notice any loopholes.

Bai Xin deleted Lao Luo's phone number, wiped away her tears, and covered Su Su, who was sleeping, with a blanket. Unable to hold back, she shed tears again. On the other hand, Jiang Leilei was drinking at home. Lao Luo finally answered the phone but only mentioned having work out of town and quickly hung up.

Leng Siming returned to the company and was immediately taken by Yu Yang to celebrate the increased sales of the Lingzhi smartphone. Leng Siming felt it was too early to celebrate at this point. The next focus of their work should be to emphasize the technical advantages of the product itself. Yuan Wenbin's subordinate mentioned that Dai Yue's contract had been approved by the legal department and they were waiting for Leng Siming's signature. The staff raised their glasses to toast Leng Siming.

During the live broadcast, Li Chenyang was distracted and publicly announced his plan to return to school to improve himself before returning with a better outlook in the future. Afterwards, Li Chenyang walked into the office. Meng Haotian informed him that the company would no longer assign him any projects and advised him to focus on his studies for the next two years. It turned out that Leng Siming had already informed Meng Haotian about Li Chenyang's intentions. Meng Haotian thought it was commendable that Li Chenyang had set goals at such an early stage and assured him to proceed with confidence.

Seeing Jiang Leilei intoxicated during a video call, Meng Haotian hurriedly went to Jiang Leilei's house. After inquiring, Meng Haotian learned that it was usually Lao Luo who took care of things at home. She asked Jiang Leilei to rest in her room and instructed her to organize all the documents when she woke up.

Early the next morning, Meng Haotian received a phone call and rushed to Bai Xin's house. Bai Xin explained that Jiang Leilei had come knocking on her door late at night, so she let her rest on the couch. When Su Su was about to wake up, she asked Meng Haotian to come and pick up Jiang Leilei.

In the Lingzhi meeting room, Leng Siming expressed that the technology presented by Dai Yue was from three years ago, and they wanted to reevaluate it. Leng Siming believed that Lingzhi truly needed Dai Yue's technology, while Yuan Wenbin thought he should offer more money to acquire Dai Yue, which seemed selfish. Leng Siming emphasized the value of Dai Yue to Lingzhi and was unwilling to back down.

Jiang Leilei woke up and said that she had already come to terms with the situation, realizing that Bai Xin was also a victim. Bai Xin told Meng Haotian that neither she nor Lao Luo had any financial involvement from start to finish. Meng Haotian felt that Bai Xin could let go of the many years of investment, but Lao Luo should face appropriate punishment. Meng Haotian and Bai Xin agreed that while Lao Luo was still away, they would thoroughly investigate his assets and then ruin him, leaving him with nothing.

Jiang Leilei felt that Meng Haotian shouldn't have replaced her to negotiate with Bai Xin. She wanted to hear an explanation from Lao Luo. Seeing this, Meng Haotian had no choice but to let her handle it herself. Disappointed, Meng Haotian returned to the doorstep of her house, where she happened to see a weary Leng Siming opening the door. Leng Siming went up and embraced Meng Haotian. Seeing that Leng Siming had time to accompany her, Meng Haotian asked if Dai Yue's situation had affected him. Leng Siming said that he would make a decision at the company meeting in the afternoon and as long as he did his best without regrets, it would be fine. Meng Haotian hugged him to comfort him.

In the Lingzhi conference room, Yuan Wenbin expressed that based on Leng Siming's recent work, he believed that Leng Siming was not suitable for Lingzhi. Old Yuan always thought that Leng Siming would be Yuan Wenbin's assistant, but seeing Yuan Wenbin's attitude, he could only say that it was his freedom to keep or abandon anyone. In the office, Yuan Wenbin handed over the results of the internal audit to Leng Siming, saying that as long as Leng Siming was willing to change his way of working, he was willing to negotiate with the board of directors. Leng Siming told Yuan Wenbin that he had his own principles, so he agreed with the board of directors' decision and would step down as the Chief Technology Officer of Lingzhi Group from today.

Hua Yitang, Jiang Leilei apologized to Meng Haotian, feeling that it was because of her inadequate performance that Lao Luo had an affair. Meng Haotian said that the best support for a woman is herself and comforted Jiang Leilei. In the evening, Leng Siming went to the flower shop to wait for Meng Haotian to finish work. Leng Siming told her that he was no longer the Chief Technology Officer of Lingzhi. Meng Haotian told him to relax and do what he wanted. Suddenly, Meng Haotian received a phone call and hurriedly ran to Jiang Leilei's house. Aunt Mei had resigned and left, and the house was in a mess because of Jiang Leilei. Jiang Leilei told Meng Haotian that Lao Luo had sent her and Bai Xin the same message to assure their safety. Meng Haotian told Jiang Leilei not to act rashly until she had prepared the necessary information.

On campus, Wang Zi, the president of the Check-In Club, introduced the club to Leng Nuan and Li Chenyang, explaining that each person in the club set a 28-day check-in goal and supervised each other to complete it. Leng Nuan and Li Chenyang decided to join the Check-In Club. Leng Siming received a call from Yuan Wangshan, the CEO Yuan Wenbin, and went to the noodle shop to meet him. Yuan Wangshan told Leng Siming to start anew and prove himself.

Later, Leng Siming found Meng Haotian and told her that he wanted to integrate artificial intelligence into the current living environment. Meng Haotian fully agreed with his idea. Learning that Yuan Wangshan was willing to invest in his company as an individual, Meng Haotian expressed complete trust in him.

Hua Yitang, Jiang Leilei was in a state of panic because she didn't know how to face Lao Luo. Meng Haotian said that she had already asked someone to investigate the assets under Lao Luo's name and told Jiang Leilei not to reveal any flaws. At that moment, Yuan Wenbin arrived at the flower shop. Yuan Wenbin mentioned that Li Chenyang's return to school meant the end of the partnership between Paishe Video and Lingzhi. Meng Haotian didn't give him a good face as she saw that Yuan Wenbin looked down on Paishe Video's business and contacts. Yuan Wenbin said that he would personally handle Lingzhi's publicity work and could outsource the business to Meng Haotian, but Meng Haotian immediately refused and walked away.

In the apartment, Ji Mo told Shen Chunyi that he saw Yuan Wenbin at the Hua Yitang flower shop. Shen Chunyi believed that Yuan Wenbin still couldn't let go of Jiang Leilei. Ji Mo thought that Shen Chunyi should directly approach Yuan Wenbin instead of guessing blindly. Shen Chunyi was afraid to approach Yuan Wenbin and believed that her relationship with him had become like this because of Meng Haotian.

At night, Lao Luo returned home with luggage and knelt directly in front of Jiang Leilei, admitting that he had made a mistake out of confusion. Jiang Leilei said that Bai Xin had told her everything. Lao Luo hugged Jiang Leilei tightly, hoping for her forgiveness. Jiang Leilei burst into tears. The next day, Lao Luo played in the garden with Xiaotuan. Xiaotuan wished for Lao Luo to be with him as his father all the time. Lao Luo assured him that he would always be with Xiaotuan and Jiang Leilei. Jiang Leilei's heart was shaken.

Restaurant, Leng Siming invited Yu Yang to join the marketing department of his company, and Yu Yang happily accepted. Hua Yitang, Meng Haotian accused Jiang Leilei of being deceived by Lao Luo again. Jiang Leilei didn't want Xiao Tuan to live in a broken family and said that Lao Luo promised to change and handle outside matters well. Meng Haotian couldn't bear it anymore and handed over the investigation materials to Jiang Leilei, indicating that Lao Luo has been running a money laundering operation under the guise of a company all these years. Jiang Leilei looked at the materials, unable to believe it. Meng Haotian reminded her that all of these are illegal activities, and if something goes wrong, it would be Jiang Leilei who goes to jail. Lao Luo's refusal to divorce is all for these contracts, so they should be prepared for the worst. Hearing Meng Haotian's words, Jiang Leilei finally woke up.

At Jiang Leilei's home, Meng Haotian asked Lao Luo to sign the divorce agreement and give up custody rights, leaving with nothing. Lao Luo put down the agreement and still tried to deceive Jiang Leilei. Jiang Leilei slapped him directly, accusing him of deceiving her for so many years. Lao Luo said he had arranged his assets and refused to sign the agreement or give Xiao Tuan to them. Meng Haotian threw the investigation materials in front of Lao Luo, who angrily tore them up, but Meng Haotian remained calm.

Upon seeing this, Lao Luo finally yielded and hoped to discuss the money matters again. Jiang Leilei told Lao Luo that she had already used his money from the account to repay the debts. Lao Luo, seeing that there was not a single penny in his passbook, became extremely angry. Jiang Leilei tearfully recounted her sacrifices over the years, and Lao Luo finally realized his mistakes and apologized to Jiang Leilei. At night, Leng Siming caught a fever due to getting soaked in the rain, and Meng Haotian silently took care of him, urging him to rest well.

The next day, Xiao Tuan caught up with Lao Luo, who was dragging his luggage, and asked if he would come back. Lao Luo explained that there were problems with his previous job that would take a long time to resolve. After speaking, he hugged Xiao Tuan. At this moment, Bai Xin also finished packing her luggage and left the community with Su Su. Lao Luo put the luggage in the car, and Jiang Leilei stood at the door to see him off, expressing that he would always be Xiao Tuan's father.

Hua Yitang, Jiang Leilei thanked Meng Haotian for being with her during this time. Not long after, Shen Chunyi arrived at the flower shop and introduced a friend's project to Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian thanked her for the recommendation and suggested using women of different ages as promotional models to highlight the sensuality and comfort of high heels. Suddenly, Shen Chunyi brought up the past between Yuan Wenbin and Meng Haotian and asked how a woman could regain her confidence in a relationship. Meng Haotian, using the flowers in the flower shop as a metaphor, advised Shen Chunyi to love herself. After Meng Haotian left, Shen Chunyi spoke to the flower shop staff and learned that Meng Haotian was dating Leng Siming, making her believe that Meng Haotian had a new love interest and was stringing along Yuan Wenbin.

Leng Siming handed the keys to the house to Meng Haotian and invited her to become the lady of the house. Meng Haotian felt that leaving a little space for each other would be the best state, and after saying that, they hugged tightly. Suddenly, their sweet moment was interrupted by a ringing phone. Meng Haotian looked at the couple items on the table and smiled. Leng Siming answered the call, and Leng's father asked him to immediately bring Leng Nuan to the hotel where he was staying. At the same time, Shen Chunyi walked into Yuan Wenbin's house with flowers purchased from Hua Yitang. Yuan Wenbin expressed that he didn't want to talk to Shen Chunyi, and they started arguing. Leng Siming arrived at the hotel, and Leng's father introduced him to Uncle Su, who was from Hengtian Investments.

Uncle Su expressed that the business should be carried on for a long time, and mutual assistance is needed within the industry, especially with the help of young people. Just then, a woman walked into the room, and Father Leng introduced her to Leng Siming as Maggie, the executive director of Hengtian Investment. That night, they sat together for a meal. Father Leng asked Leng Siming to add Maggie on WeChat, saying that he could seek advice from her in the future. Under Father Leng's urging, Leng Siming reluctantly added her on WeChat. At this moment, Maggie expressed that she had no objections to Leng Siming, which made both Father Leng and Uncle Su very happy.

The property handed over the bills for the water, electricity, and property fees for the first three months to Jiang Leilei. Jiang Leilei asked if she could postpone the payment. The property explained that they were also responsible for paying the water and electricity bills on behalf of the residents, so Jiang Leilei had no choice but to pay a partial amount first. Suddenly, there was a noise inside the house, and Jiang Leilei rushed into the kitchen, hastily unplugging the power and asking Xiaotuan to go and change his dirty clothes. Looking at the mess all over the floor, she called Meng Haotian and asked her to hurry over.

Hotel, Maggie invited Leng Siming to have coffee together before leaving. Leng Siming remained silent, and Father Leng accepted the invitation on his behalf. After they left, Father Leng told Leng Siming that the company was facing a severe financial crisis and only Hengtian Investment could save them. Leng Siming expressed that Guosheng Real Estate was Father Leng's hard work, but he had his own ideals and didn't need to rely on his father to achieve them. After saying that, he forcefully closed the door.

Meng Haotian arrived at Jiang Leilei's house. Jiang Leilei pointed to the kitchen and complained to Meng Haotian. Xiaotuan said he noticed that Jiang Leilei was in a bad mood, so he wanted to make her a watermelon milkshake. Looking at Xiaotuan, Jiang Leilei couldn't help but burst into tears. After tidying up the kitchen, Jiang Leilei put Xiaotuan to sleep. She complained that as a full-time mother, she had become empty-handed. Meng Haotian told her not to be so melodramatic. Jiang Leilei got a bit angry and asked Meng Haotian to leave.

In a coffee shop, Leng Siming was preparing some investment plans for the company when Maggie suddenly arrived. Leng Siming was puzzled how Maggie knew he was there, but it turned out that Leng Nuan had invited her on behalf of Leng Siming. Maggie wanted to give it a try with Leng Siming, but he informed her that he already had a girlfriend.

Meng Haotian walked to the entrance of the coffee shop and happened to see Leng Siming shaking hands with Maggie. Leng Siming mentioned the collaboration between Guosheng Real Estate and Hengtian Investment, and Maggie added that the condition for the collaboration was for Leng Siming to marry her. Leng Siming stated that he couldn't possibly marry her. Maggie didn't care about Leng Siming's words and left briskly. Leng Siming explained the whole situation to Meng Haotian, who, looking at his determined attitude, was willing to temporarily believe him.

In the apartment, Shen Chunyi told Ji Mo that there was another hidden story behind the miscarriage incident from years ago. A few days before the miscarriage, Shen Chunyi experienced slight bleeding symptoms, so she made an appointment with Yuan Wenbin to go to the hospital together. After receiving a report about Meng Haotian from a subordinate, Yuan Wenbin hurriedly left with the subordinate and asked the nanny to inform Shen Chunyi to postpone the prenatal check-up. However, Shen Chunyi collapsed in the bathroom before she could go for the check-up. Ji Mo believed it was a sudden accidental event and advised her not to take it too much to heart. Shen Chunyi had been enduring Yuan Wenbin due to guilt towards the child, but upon learning the hidden truth, she considered Yuan Wenbin the instigator and Meng Haotian her nemesis. Seeing this, Ji Mo told Shen Chunyi to relax and lit some aromatherapy in the room for her.

Hua Yitang, Meng Haotian told Jiang Leilei that everyone's life is a mess, but Jiang Leilei still has a large villa and a flower shop, and she has done well for herself. Meng Haotian doesn't have the right to judge her but can accompany her through difficult times. At night, Meng Haotian accompanies Jiang Leilei home, and because Jiang Leilei is worried that Xiaotuan will miss Luo after his departure, she sends him to his parents' house. Meng Haotian encourages Jiang Leilei to say goodbye to her past life and find her true self. When Jiang Leilei expresses her intention to rent out the villa, Meng Haotian promises to help her find a solution.

One day, Jiang Leilei brings the villa's information to the restaurant to meet Fang Hui. Fang Hui looks through the information and says that her husband's business partner wants to rent the villa and they agree on a three-year lease. Afterwards, Fang Hui admits that she envies Jiang Leilei for having freedom and unlimited possibilities for the future. In fact, what disappoints her the most about her husband is his inability to handle everything after his affair. Jiang Leilei believes that at least Xiaorui protected the marriage and allowed Fang Hui and the children to live a better life. Fang Hui acknowledges that it's because she held onto his guilt and profited from it, but her marriage is now left with shattered dignity.

Café, Fang Hui gave advice to Jiang Leilei that if she wants to start a new relationship, she shouldn't make any changes, or she might encounter the same result. Jiang Leilei thanked Fang Hui for her advice and said that she always has to step out of her comfort zone and face life. At the roller skating competition, Leng Nuan smoothly participated in the race but suddenly stopped before reaching the finish line, recalling the words Li Chenyang had said to her. In the library, Li Chenyang was studying when he learned about Leng Nuan's competition from a classmate and was somewhat surprised.

At night, Leng Siming opened the door and was surprised to find that it was actually Magi. Magi came to deliver food to him and made a video call to report the situation to Uncle Su. Meng Haotian stepped out of the elevator and happened to see the scene of Leng Siming talking to Uncle Su, reminding her of the scene she saw at the café. Leng Siming turned around and saw Meng Haotian, quickly rushing over to explain, but Meng Haotian didn't want to listen and directly closed the door. Meng Haotian helped Jiang Leilei move her things to her new home. When she learned that Leng Siming was going to enter into a marriage alliance with someone else, Jiang Leilei was very angry. Upon reflection, she didn't think Leng Siming was that kind of person and asked Meng Haotian to at least give him a chance to explain properly.

Hotel, Leng's father wanted Leng Siming to share the burden of the company on his behalf. Seeing Leng Siming indifferent, Leng's father said he couldn't watch the company go down like this and begged Leng Siming to contact Magi proactively to save Hengsheng Real Estate. Meanwhile, Meng Haotian returned to the studio to meet with Director Li. Director Li mentioned that he had a difficult task on hand and wanted to ask for Meng Haotian's help. In the restaurant, seeing Leng Siming's unwilling expression, Magi said that she was also playing her role to cooperate with her father. In response, Leng Siming proposed to establish some ground rules with Magi and temporarily act together.

In the café, Director Li mentioned that the stylist discovered multiple bruises on the actress Xia Yang's body a few days ago. It turned out that her husband, Liang Luofei, had been abusing her at home. Liang Luofei, as a first-generation internet celebrity, has a huge fan base comparable to that of A-list celebrities. Therefore, Director Li wanted to arrange a video interview with Xia Yang to expose this matter. Meng Haotian told him that their studio doesn't handle public relations, but Director Li specifically wanted to engage a new media company like Pai Video to reveal the incident from a third-party perspective. Persuaded by Director Li, Meng Haotian agreed to do her best.

Just as Meng Haotian stepped out of the elevator, Leng Siming intercepted her. Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that Magi has a boyfriend named Sun Hao, who is a designer, and their marriage alliance is fake. It turned out that both Leng Siming and Magi's parents couldn't change their minds, so they had to act temporarily. Leng Siming intended to find a win-win solution and was afraid that this crisis would upset Leng's father. Meng Haotian understood Leng Siming and told him not to worry.

In the restaurant, Leng Siming arranged to meet Magi. When Leng Siming mentioned Sun Hao, Magi's expression changed. Magi said that Sun Hao has been avoiding her recently and she felt that he no longer loves her. Leng Siming believed that Sun Hao still had feelings for Magi and proposed that he would ensure their reconciliation while Magi promised not to reduce her investment in Hengsheng Real Estate by a penny. Magi nodded and agreed.

Hotel, Meng Haotian accompanied the staff to find Xia Yang. Meng Haotian asked Xia Yang if she was 100% determined to reveal the truth and if she could withstand the subsequent public pressure. Xia Yang expressed her determination to punish Liang Luofei. Meng Haotian told Xia Yang that they needed solid evidence to confront Liang Luofei. Xia Yang pulled out a poster full of holes and couldn't help but recall the scenes of being abused by Liang Luofei. She begged Meng Haotian for help, and Meng Haotian assured her that she would make sure everyone knows the truth.

At Hua Yitang, business was booming due to the upcoming Qixi Festival. Seeing that an order had been overdue for an hour, Jiang Leilei decided to personally deliver it. As she walked to the intersection, Jiang Leilei was startled by a passing motorcycle. After the traffic accident was resolved by a traffic police officer, Jiang Leilei looked at the canceled order and felt deeply regretful. The man explained that he was also delivering orders for someone else and told Jiang Leilei to contact him if she needed help.

Qixi Festival, Leng Nuan distributed flowers on campus and saw Li Chenyang receiving many flowers and taking photos with girls. Leng Nuan was very angry and argued with Wang Zi and Li Chenyang. Nearly bumped into Jiang Leilei, Qilang, who was with her, took Jiang Leilei back to Huayitang and offered to compensate her for the damaged part of her bag, with the rest to be paid in installments or worked off as a debt through part-time jobs. Jiang Leilei agreed gladly. Just then, an employee from the flower shop informed Jiang Leilei that there were a few urgent orders, and Qilang volunteered to run errands. After delivering two orders and returning to the flower shop, he bought desserts and gave them to Jiang Leilei.

At the video studio, an employee told Meng Haotian that their Weibo account was being restricted, and videos on many platforms were being deleted. Articles posted on the public account were also removed. In response, Meng Haotian said she would try to get some celebrities to help speak up and instructed her subordinates to prepare for trending topics. One of the subordinates, Dun Dun, felt that they had invested a lot of effort and money but couldn't guarantee results. Meng Haotian emphasized to him that the original intention of establishing the video studio was to give a voice to marginalized groups.

Afterwards, Meng Haotian called Li Chenyang and asked him to speak up. Li Chenyang hung up the phone and immediately reposted the Weibo. In the Weibo video, Xia Yang stated that half a year after their marriage, Liang Luofei got drunk and hit her for the first time. Xia Yang initially thought it was just a result of Liang Luofei's alcohol-induced loss of control, but she realized that the violence hadn't stopped since then. In the end, Xia Yang warned all girls to stay away from abusive men. Wang Zi, a fan of Liang Luofei, saw the Weibo post and subconsciously believed it was fake. He even thought that Li Chenyang's reposting of the Weibo constituted spreading rumors. Leng Nuan agreed with Li Chenyang's actions, believing that controversial matters could be discussed online. Because Liang Luofei's fans had been whitewashing his image, the trending topic's popularity had been declining.

In the evening, the staff from the video studio found Director Li, who was busy comforting his artists. They hoped that Director Li could help find a few popular celebrities to repost the Weibo. However, Director Li was afraid of offending Liang Luofei and the capital behind him, so he was unwilling to help. At that moment, a female artist nearby overheard the mention of Liang Luofei and became curious. The staff quickly informed her of the situation. The female artist voluntarily reposted the Weibo, initiated a discussion, and tagged other celebrities.

The video gained widespread attention, and several topics trended on the hot search rankings. However, the PR company behind Liang Luofei was constantly trying to remove the hot search topics. In the evening, the topic of Liang Luofei's domestic violence finally exploded. Meng Haotian finished work and returned home. Leng Nuan hurriedly ran back from the school and asked Meng Haotian if the allegations of domestic violence were true. Seeing Meng Haotian's affirmation, Leng Nuan sighed and mentioned that Wang Zi had liked Liang Luofei for many years. Leng Nuan told Meng Haotian that the key issue now was that Liang Luofei's fans simply didn't believe he was capable of domestic violence; they thought it was all the work of black PR. Meng Haotian opened her phone and found that the fans were whitewashing Liang Luofei again, and they were even promoting his live broadcasts. During this time, Liang Luofei had not made any appearances, and his management company had not responded.

The next day, the staff from the video studio filmed scenes of them pressing Liang Luofei for answers, hoping to pressure him into responding. Before long, Liang Luofei posted on Weibo, and after Meng Haotian read it, she quickly left the studio. Meng Haotian arrived at Xia Yang's residence, where Xia Yang told her that the video posted by Liang Luofei was true. It turned out that Xia Yang discovered that as long as she self-harmed, Liang Luofei would not hurt her anymore and would instead comfort her. Therefore, Xia Yang used this method to protect herself. Meng Haotian stated that she needed more evidence to expose Liang Luofei, believing that with his violent tendencies, Xia Yang couldn't be the only one who got hurt.

Leng Siming made an appointment with Sun Hao to meet at a restaurant. Leng Siming asked Sun Hao what difficulties he was facing, and Sun Hao said that he might end up in prison. It turned out that there was a collapse at the construction site of a project he was responsible for, and he might be held criminally responsible. Sun Hao explained that he had only made structural innovations based on the original design to make the appearance of the building more beautiful, and he didn't know the cause of the collapse. Leng Siming said he would ask his friends in the engineering field to help investigate and hoped that Sun Hao could communicate with Magi. After listening to Leng Siming's advice, Sun Hao promised to consider it carefully.

At the hotel, Leng Siming found his father, suggesting that Hengsheng Real Estate could consider transforming into a smart real estate company and provide smart home solutions, using their own strength for financing. Leng's father smiled and thought his idea was impractical. He believed that young people who liked smart homes couldn't afford to buy houses, and what the houses in China lacked was vitality for the elderly. Meng Haotian found Liang Luofei's ex-girlfriend, Yang Hong, and asked her if she had a similar experience as Xia Yang, hoping she could help Xia Yang. Yang Hong didn't want the past to affect her current life and felt that even if Meng Haotian exposed the matter, it wouldn't change anything.

Yang Hong recalled the days when she was together with Liang Luofei and felt like living in hell every day. She had finally endured through those painful days, but Meng Haotian actually wanted her to expose her pain to the public and their children. Yang Hong refused Meng Haotian.

In a video, Meng Haotian instructed her subordinates to find and contact all of Liang Luofei's ex-girlfriends, hoping to gather the power of those willing to come forward and speak out. After multiple contacts and prolonged communication, some girls were willing to speak out and share the stories of Liang Luofei's domestic violence in the interview video. Liang Luofei angrily threw his phone while watching the interview video.

Leng Fu handed the investigation results to Leng Siming, indicating that someone had used indistinguishable fake materials to cause the collapse and intended to make the designer Sun Hao take the blame. Leng Siming handed the relevant information to Maggie and Sun Hao, and they reconciled. Maggie promised to fulfill her agreement with Leng Siming and expressed interest in his research on smart homes, which made Leng Siming very happy.

Due to the exposure of the interview videos of Liang Luofei's ex-girlfriends, his career was affected, and his scheduled business livestream was temporarily canceled. One day, in the early morning, Liang Luofei's talent agency, Xingqi Yixian Media, released a statement announcing that the livestream would resume at 2 o'clock, marking Liang Luofei's first direct response to the matter. During the livestream, Liang Luofei claimed that the allegations of domestic violence were rumors and defamation, stating that he had never harmed any girl and would hire a lawyer to hold those responsible accountable.

Liang Luofei's agent found Meng Haotian and officially served her with a legal letter. Meng Haotian accepted the letter, expressing her willingness to see it through. Liang Luofei's agent warned Meng Haotian that if she continued to defame Liang Luofei, she would not be able to survive in the industry. Meng Haotian smiled and said she would let the whole world know the truth.

After the topic of Liang Luofei's ex-girlfriends was removed from the hot search, Meng Haotian received a call from Xia Yang and hurried to Xia Yang's place. Xia Yang told Meng Haotian that Liang Luofei's agent had found her family and friends and had posted various photos defaming her all over the community. Meng Haotian comforted Xia Yang, stating that this was something they had to face, but Xia Yang retreated and didn't want to continue fighting Liang Luofei.

At night, Leng Siming invited Meng Haotian to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony and told her that Maggie was going to invest in his company, reassuring Meng Haotian that nothing would happen between him and Maggie. After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Lingdian Technology Co., Ltd. officially opened. Meng Haotian, who should have felt happy for Leng Siming, was instead distressed when she learned that the topic of Liang Luofei's domestic violence had disappeared and there was no longer any discussion on major platforms.

Yang Hong watched Liang Luofei's statement video, lost in thought. As she walked to the garden, she noticed Meng Haotian playing with her two children. Meng Haotian told Yang Hong that she not only wanted to make money but also wanted to do something for the world at the same time. Meng Haotian said that Xia Yang was not the only one suffering from domestic violence in this world. Many people had similar experiences and difficulties. She wanted to use Xia Yang's story to draw more attention and importance to the issue of domestic violence in society. Although the perpetrators of domestic violence may not change their ways due to societal condemnation, it could at least encourage abused girls to learn to protect themselves using the weapon of the law.

Subsequently, Meng Haotian showed Yang Hong the messages backstage, indicating that Xia Yang's story had given courage and strength to many girls who had experienced domestic violence. They were all praying for Xia Yang to receive justice. Meng Haotian believed that Yang Hong had influence and perhaps only she could turn the situation around by speaking out. Seeing this, Yang Hong revealed that after Liang Luofei had hit her several times, she had installed surveillance cameras at home and was willing to provide the footage to Meng Haotian.

Upon learning that Meng Haotian had obtained the video evidence of Liang Luofei's domestic violence, Xia Yang quickly arranged to meet with Meng Haotian outside. Meng Haotian entered the clubhouse and was surprised to find Xia Yang sitting with Liang Luofei's agent. Security guards took away Meng Haotian's phone, and Liang Luofei's agent demanded that Meng Haotian hand over the video. Seeing Meng Haotian unwilling to cooperate, Liang Luofei's agent told Xia Yang that the company could spend money to make her a popular star. Xia Yang asked Meng Haotian to give up the video, believing that after maximizing their benefits, they should no longer fight against them. The security guards took Meng Haotian's bag, but she remained calm. It turned out that she had already sent the video to her subordinates while in the taxi and had also thrown away the USB flash drive on the way.

Liang Luofei's agent instructed Meng Haotian to make a hands-free call to the employees at the studio. Meng Haotian called Leng Siming, and Leng Siming realized that Meng Haotian might be in danger and quickly left. Shortly thereafter, Leng Siming arrived at the clubhouse with police officers from the local police station and rescued Meng Haotian.

Meng Haotian brought Yang Hong into the studio and instructed her subordinates to prepare for Yang Hong's exclusive interview. In the interview, Yang Hong talked about her initial acquaintance and relationship with Liang Luofei, stating that the main reason for their breakup was Liang Luofei's physical abuse and insults towards her. Initially, Yang Hong didn't want this incident to affect her current life, but upon seeing other girls who had experienced similar situations not receiving an apology from Liang Luofei and instead facing online abuse and curses from netizens, she bravely stepped forward to tell everyone the truth.

Following the exposure of Yang Hong's interview, the local police and women's federation intervened and launched a thorough investigation into Liang Luofei's violent and criminal behavior, as well as the alleged illegal activities of the company StarQi Yixian Media behind this incident. They will all receive the appropriate legal sanctions.

Not long after, all of Liang Luofei's videos were taken down, and his account was banned. The number of fans of his rival's videos skyrocketed to twenty million, and they also received numerous phone calls from people wanting to discuss collaboration opportunities. Yuan Wenbin found Old Yuan, expressing his intention to develop a new project and module for Lingzhi, and currently, he needed a new Chief Technology Officer. He mentioned that he would appoint his subordinate, Wang Dawei, as the Director of Intelligent Technology Research and Development Department.

In the conference room of Lingdian Company, Leng Siming planned to establish strategic cooperation with furniture and home appliance brands in order to reduce investment in products and allocate funds and manpower to the core component, which is the chip. Yuyang believed that the staffing and research and development team for the core product needed careful consideration. Leng Siming instructed his subordinate, Yino, to contact Li Donghai and obtain the resources he had accumulated.

In the Lingzhi conference room, Yuan Wenbin believed that smart homes would definitely become a market trend, and as a leading domestic smartphone brand, Lingzhi needed to grasp the market and seize the opportunity. One director mentioned that smartphones and home furnishings were two different concepts. Yuan Wenbin thought that as long as they focused on service technology for smartphones, they could collaborate with many brands in establishing a completely new ecosystem. Another director suggested that Lingzhi should venture into an unrelated field, but it might harm the brand's reputation. Yuan Wenbin countered that smart homes were definitely the future trend, and he was determined to pursue it. Seeing this, the directors had no further objections and reluctantly agreed. Subsequently, Yuan Wenbin announced that Wang Dawei would be promoted to the new Chief Technology Officer, and he would personally oversee the technology research and development.

At the Pie Video headquarters, Meng Haotian explained to the investors in front of her about the future development plan for Pie Video. The investors were very satisfied with Meng Haotian's proposal. Before formal cooperation, Meng Haotian added that she hoped the investors would not interfere with the content production of Pie Video, and the investors expressed their understanding. Not long after, Pie Video Studio officially received a one million investment, and all the employees were very excited.

At Hua Yitang, Jiang Leilei stood at the door waiting for a car to pick up an order, and Qilang happened to pass by in his car. Qilang offered to give Jiang Leilei a ride, and along the way, he parked the car on the side of the road and asked Jiang Leilei to wait for him there. As soon as Qilang left, Jiang Leilei was frightened by a large dog that came towards her and fell down, breaking the heel of her high heel shoe. At the hospital, Meng Haotian handed over every detail of the transactions made during that period to Aunt Wu and repaid her 500,000, thus clearing the debt. Aunt Wu said that Meng Haotian was truly a good person, and Meng Haotian walked out of the hospital with a happy mood.

Jiang Leilei and Qilang were walking in the flower wholesale market. Seeing Jiang Leilei limping, Qilang approached and carried her, taking her to buy shoes first. Qilang paid for the shoes and personally helped Jiang Leilei put them on. It was Jiang Leilei's first time purchasing goods, and she was struggling to negotiate prices with the flower merchant. Unexpectedly, Qilang managed to help her secure a good price with just a few words. As the flower merchant couldn't deliver the goods, Qilang drove a tricycle carrying the flowers and Jiang Leilei back to Huayitang.

At Lingdian Company, Yuyang mentioned that Lingzhi also wanted to enter the smart home market, and they had signed exclusive contracts with manufacturers they had connections with. Leng Siming planned to communicate with a Korean company that had been performing well in China in the past two years. So, Leng Siming made a last-minute appointment with Park Yongjun from the Korean company, but Park Yongjun was late to the meeting. As they were about to head to the office, they encountered Park Yongjun and Yuan Wenbin, who had just finished talking.

Leng Siming told Park Yongjun that they would wholeheartedly invest in home development and research. Park Yongjun expressed his belief in their technology but stated that he would not compromise on production investment costs, and he asked about the expected cost of investment from Guosheng Real Estate. Leng Siming informed him that Lingdian was his own company and had no connection to Guosheng Real Estate. Yuyang eased the tension and took Park Yongjun and others to have a meal together. In the restaurant, Leng Siming wanted to discuss cooperation with Park Yongjun, but Park Yongjun expressed his trust in Leng Siming without any intention of discussing cooperation. Leng Siming had no choice but to go along with him and have a drink.

At the Yuan residence, Yuan Wenbin placed the equity distribution agreement on the desk in the study and asked his father why he wanted to help Leng Siming. His father stated that although Leng Siming was not suitable for Lingzhi, he was worth investing in. Yuan Wenbin accused him of helping outsiders, but his father said that he cared about his own value and appreciation potential.

At night, Leng Siming returned home drunk, staggering along the way. He then turned on the music and expressed his intention to dance for Meng Haotian. The two of them danced together in the living room. The next day, Meng Haotian prepared breakfast and sobering tea for Leng Siming. Leng Siming felt a bit guilty, unsure if he had done something wrong.

After breakfast, Meng Haotian took the initiative to drive Leng Siming to work, which surprised him. Just as they arrived downstairs at the Lingdian Company, Meng Haotian was immediately taken away by her studio colleagues.

Hua Yitang, Jiang Leilei checked Qi Lang's Moments on social media and discovered that he was staying at a five-star hotel. Thinking that Qi Lang had been avoiding the flower shop because he owed money, Jiang Leilei took Xiaotuan and went to the hotel to find him. Jiang Leilei asked Xiaotuan to wait on the side and approached Qi Lang, asking him to repay the 50,000 yuan he owed. Qi Lang explained that he was a hotel reviewer and was invited by the hotel for evaluation and promotion. Afterwards, Qi Lang wanted Jiang Leilei to try some white truffles, but she refused and kept stepping back, accidentally falling into the swimming pool. Qi Lang quickly jumped into the pool and rescued Jiang Leilei, who was choking on water and completely soaked.

At Lingdian, Maji informed Leng Siming and Yu Yang that Beck had decided to collaborate with Lingzhi. Leng Siming believed that Lingdian should not cooperate with ordinary brands as it would lower their score. Maji stated that they needed to find a solution as soon as possible. Meng Haotian told Leng Siming that she took the studio employees near Lingdian to see a new studio. Upon learning that Meng Haotian had paid off her debt, Leng Siming congratulated her, saying that she could now earn money happily.

At the hotel, Jiang Leilei had to wait for her clothes to dry, so she had lunch with Xiaotuan and Qi Lang in the room. Xiaotuan broke out in a rash after drinking his beverage, so Qi Lang quickly took Xiaotuan and Jiang Leilei to the hospital. The doctor diagnosed Xiaotuan with mild alcohol allergy and allergic dermatitis, and assured them that he had received the necessary treatment and would be fine after finishing the IV drip.

Seeing this, Jiang Leilei took the invoice to make the payment and asked Qi Lang to take care of Xiaotuan. Xiaotuan was afraid of getting the needle for the IV drip and ended up biting Qi Lang's arm. Qi Lang looked at Jiang Leilei taking care of Xiaotuan with patience and was amazed by her actions. In the evening, Qi Lang returned to the hotel and looked at Jiang Leilei's social media moments, reminiscing about their time together and lost in thought.

Regarding the video shooting, Meng Haotian happily instructed her subordinates to pack up and move to the new studio. However, her subordinates informed her that all the investors suddenly withdrew their funding. Meng Haotian told them not to worry for now and called each investor to inquire about the reason. In the afternoon, Meng Haotian arranged to meet with the investor, Mr. Lu, but he didn't show up even after waiting for the entire afternoon. In the evening, Mr. Lu made a video call and explained that he suddenly had a soccer game and couldn't come. Meng Haotian pressed Mr. Lu for the reason behind terminating the cooperation.

Mr. Lu told her that Liang Luofei is an internet celebrity who was sponsored by someone with a lot of money. There are massive economic interests backing Liang Luofei, and they made it clear that anyone who cooperates with Pai Video would be against them. While Mr. Lu admired Meng Haotian for exposing Liang Luofei's domestic violence, he was also in a difficult position. Meng Haotian stated that if it was the right thing to do, she would still do it regardless of any obstacles.

In the evening, Leng Siming was cooking at Old Yuan's noodle shop but was absent-minded. Old Yuan knew that Yuan Wenbin had intercepted the collaboration with Beck and expressed that he truly regarded Leng Siming as a competitor. Leng Siming believed that competition brings motivation and that he should approach things from a different perspective. When Meng Haotian returned home, Leng Siming asked her to taste his cooking. Meng Haotian told Leng Siming about the investors withdrawing their funding and said that they made her feel like they were heading in the right direction, shooting what others dare not shoot and saying what others dare not say. That's when the existence of Pai Video becomes meaningful. Speaking of Old Yuan, Meng Haotian believed that he was capable of establishing Lingzhi and had great business acumen and foresight. Leng Siming was also fortunate to receive personal guidance from Old Yuan, which could be considered taking a shortcut.

Meng Haotian received a call from Jiang Leilei, who mentioned that Xiao Ye, an employee at the flower shop, said that someone wanted to order a large quantity of flowers today. However, Jiang Leilei needed to stay at home to take care of Xiaotuan, who had alcohol allergy. She asked Meng Haotian to go to Huayitang Flower Shop and Meng Haotian immediately agreed.

In the conference room at Lingdian, Leng Siming expressed his desire to change the direction of their thinking and collaborate with domestic technology companies. Yu Yang believed that foreign companies indeed lead in terms of technology. Leng Siming analyzed the data from the infrared sensor and his subordinate, Yi Nuo, pointed out that the additional five years of service life had no meaning and would only increase unnecessary costs. Leng Siming argued that many of the additional expenses, when compared with domestic and foreign data and costs, were actually meaningless. Ma Ji agreed and suggested developing an affordable product that everyone could use and afford.

At Huayitang Flower Shop, Meng Haotian discovered that the customer was Shen Chunyi, who mentioned that she came to prepare flowers for the Lingzhi anniversary celebration. In the conference room at Lingdian, Leng Siming announced his plan to adjust the development direction, and Ma Ji noticed that his target audience was much larger than the consumer group for high-end products. Everyone agreed with Leng Siming's idea and actively began assigning tasks, creating a lively atmosphere. Ma Ji suggested that they also brainstorm how to develop celebrity products to differentiate themselves in the market, and Leng Siming nodded in agreement.

In the evening, Leng Siming was still in the office researching a complete set of solutions for a smart home system. Meng Haotian walked into the office and asked if he had time to have dinner together. Leng Siming said he planned to go home and organize some files, politely declining Meng Haotian. Seeing this, Meng Haotian left first.

At night, Leng Siming suddenly remembered what Meng Haotian had said earlier about artificial intelligence. He muttered about it, inserted a USB drive into the computer, and started writing a program. It didn't take long before the artificial intelligence named "Zhenben" (Really Dumb) came back to life.

At that moment, the doorbell rang, and Leng Siming went to open the door, finding Meng Haotian standing there. Leng Siming pulled Meng Haotian to sit in front of the computer and introduced to her the artificial intelligence he had developed, called "Zhenben" (Really Dumb). It turned out that "Zhenben" was Leng Siming's graduation project from university. It originally had a physical existence, but Leng Siming's father thought he was not focused on his work and deleted the program. Luckily, Leng Siming had a backup. Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that he had planned to collaborate with Baker Company in developing a high-end brand for smart homes, but Yuan Wenbin intercepted the opportunity. Therefore, he wanted to shift his focus to the mass market, but after careful consideration, he realized he lacked core competitiveness. He remembered what Maggie had said about developing artificial intelligence and thus retrieved "Zhenben". Meng Haotian was happy for Leng Siming being able to do what he always wanted to do.

Late at night, Meng Haotian was still working and ended up falling asleep on the desk due to exhaustion. The next day, Meng Haotian arrived at the office and mentioned that she had already looked into several banks and credit companies that offer supportive loans for micro-enterprises. She assured the employees not to worry about the funds.

Hua Yitang and Qi Lang expressed that they knew a guesthouse owner who wanted to create a floral-themed guesthouse. If Jiang Leilei could collaborate with her, it would be a long-term supply. Although Jiang Leilei was a bit uncertain, she understood that everything required taking the first step. She decided to take on the project and asked Qi Lang to arrange a site visit for her the next day so that she could customize the plan based on the on-site conditions.

At that moment, Shen Chunyi entered Hua Yitang, stating that she had something important to discuss with Meng Haotian. Jiang Leilei believed that Meng Haotian had no obligation to answer Shen Chunyi's questions and asked her to leave. Shen Chunyi informed Jiang Leilei that she had been pregnant once, but on the day of her prenatal examination, Yuan Wenbin and his subordinates hurriedly left, causing her great anger and resulting in the loss of her child. Recently, she found out that on that day, Yuan Wenbin had gone to meet Meng Haotian, so she believed that Meng Haotian had called Yuan Wenbin.

Jiang Leilei denied this and explained that during her breakup with Yuan Wenbin, Meng Haotian had also faced many difficulties. On the contrary, it was Yuan Wenbin who had been persistently pursuing Meng Haotian, but she always ignored him. Jiang Leilei added that even two years ago, Yuan Wenbin had waited outside Meng Haotian's house all night, advising Shen Chunyi not to put all her hopes on a man.

On the other side, Meng Haotian was about to hail a taxi but suddenly fainted. Fortunately, a passerby helped and called an ambulance. Jiang Leilei received a call from Mingji Hospital and immediately informed Leng Siming, who was working on developing artificial intelligence. The two rushed to the hospital, where the doctor explained that Meng Haotian had fainted due to low blood sugar and excessive psychological stress. They entered the hospital room, and Leng Siming advised Meng Haotian to rest well in the hospital for the time being.

Ji Mo entered the room and saw Shen Chunyi sitting on the floor. Shen Chunyi told Ji Mo that she had discovered the truth about losing her child, and it turned out that Yuan Wenbin had actively sought out Meng Haotian. Ji Mo analyzed that Yuan Wenbin might have been trying to make up for something and advised Shen Chunyi to ask Yuan Wenbin directly, so at least there would be a result.

In the hospital room, Jiang Leilei informed Meng Haotian that she had to go on a business trip to the guesthouse the next day. Leng Siming accompanied Jiang Leilei back to her apartment, and she told him that it was Meng Haotian's birthday tomorrow and asked him to spend some quality time with her.

The next day, Jiang Leilei arrived at the guesthouse for on-site inspection. After a brief look around, the guesthouse owner asked Qi Lang to take Jiang Leilei for a nice stroll. In the hospital, Fang Hui brought flowers to visit Meng Haotian and mentioned that Ruida's partners were planning to launch a short drama section, handing Meng Haotian Lanhe's business card. Li Chenyang also came to the hospital and said that if Meng Haotian needed it, he could return to Pie Video to continue live streaming. Before long, employees from Pie Video Studio also arrived at the hospital room, each presenting their savings to invest in the company. Meng Haotian accepted their cards and gladly agreed. Meng Haotian's mother brought black chicken soup to visit her, and soon after, Leng Siming entered the room with a cake to celebrate Meng Haotian's birthday.

On the other side, Qi Lang took Jiang Leilei to Lovers Bay. Jiang Leilei believed that no couple could stay together for a lifetime, but Qi Lang disagreed, thinking that her views on love and values were distorted. Jiang Leilei felt angry and wronged, and Qi Lang explained that he believed she deserved to be happier and more fulfilled. Seeing the beautiful scenery before her, Jiang Leilei regained her good mood and decided to livestream flower sales at Lovers Bay tomorrow.

Hospital, Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that if she wants to move forward, everyone is her backing, but if she wants to rest, he will always be there. They warmly embraced each other. Afterwards, Leng Siming gave Meng Haotian a package. When Meng Haotian opened it, she found a letter from her father wishing her a happy birthday. She couldn't help but shed tears.

At Lover's Bay, Jiang Leilei was live streaming with her phone and started exploring the surrounding scenery. When she turned around on a rock, Jiang Leilei almost slipped and fell, but fortunately, Qi Lang caught her in time. However, Jiang Leilei's phone dropped into the lake. They sat by the lake and continued to enjoy the scenery. Jiang Leilei said that she had always wanted to marry a good husband and have a stable life, but later realized that the ivory tower of life had collapsed, revealing its true and ugly side. She now only wants to become stronger to protect her loved ones. Qi Lang told Jiang Leilei that he never felt the love of a father and mother since he was young. He started working part-time in high school to earn money. Although he wanted to settle down, he was afraid of not being able to handle relationships properly. Jiang Leilei comforted Qi Lang, saying that people can surpass their past selves, and she believes that he will not follow in his father's footsteps.

In the Pie Video office, Meng Haotian and several subordinates were eating skewers and spicy hot pot. Meng Haotian thanked them for their help and promised not to let their efforts go to waste. At that moment, Tang Na walked into the studio, and Dun Dun quickly invited her to join them for a meal. Amy couldn't help but criticize Tang Na for not contributing money or working properly and always being absent-minded. After Tang Na apologized to Meng Haotian, she sat down at her desk. Meng Haotian brought some food in front of Tang Na and asked her what was wrong.

At Lingdian, Li Donghai came to visit Leng Siming. Leng Siming asked him if he had any connections in artificial intelligence technology. Li Donghai realized that Leng Siming wanted to bypass the brand and develop independently, and he said that it would come with great responsibility and high risks. Leng Siming believed that although this direction is challenging, it is the most secure for a startup company like Lingdian.

At night, Meng Haotian looked at the popular high-end dating website "Cherish Destiny" and told Leng Siming that Tang Na had registered as a member on this website and spent 80,000 yuan. When it comes to companionship, Leng Siming said that his original intention in creating "True Fool" was to accompany and protect. He wanted to use the power of technology to explore the inner needs of people and truly understand each individual.

The next day, Meng Haotian took Tang Na and the studio staff to a café to meet Mr. Lu from "Cherish Destiny." Mr. Lu was very impatient and not only criticized Tang Na's attire but also said that successful men in their careers want obedient and sensible women as partners. Meng Haotian stated that only the weak would care if their partner is stronger than themselves. His earlier comments only exposed him as someone with deep inner insecurities. Afterwards, they walked out of the café, and Meng Haotian silently took a photo of Mr. Lu's license plate. Amy and others consoled Tang Na.

At Lingdian, Maggie entered the office and asked Leng Siming which speech recognition vendor he wanted to choose. Maggie saw that Leng Siming already had an idea and didn't understand why he was taking so long to make a decision. Leng Siming said that independent research and development was already risky, and if the service provider had any issues, it would come at a great cost.

In the Lingzhi meeting room, Yuan Wenbin told Wang Dawei that Leng Siming had partnered with Stin. Wang Dawei thought that Stin was an insignificant player among service providers and believed that Leng Siming was acting blindly out of desperation. Yuan Wenbin asked about the progress of the additional budget, and Wang Dawei said that intelligent home automation was burning too much money, and the board had significant concerns. Seeing this, Yuan Wenbin was determined to continue working on intelligent home automation and prove it to the board. At that moment, the secretary knocked on the door and informed Yuan Wenbin that Shen Chunyi was waiting for him in the office.

Yuan Wenbin returned to the office, and Shen Chunyi believed that they needed to have a serious talk. She said that she already knew the truth about losing their child. Yuan Wenbin felt that Shen Chunyi was clinging to past issues and wouldn't let go. Shen Chunyi said that for her, it was a nightmare from which she could never wake up. Now she understood that the one to blame was herself for not being able to move on from the past. Surprisingly, Yuan Wenbin agreed and criticized Shen Chunyi for being too idle, staying at home with nothing to do, and causing herself to be constantly melancholic. He warned her not to go and see Meng Haotian again. Shen Chunyi couldn't bear it anymore and said that she had already moved out all her things. Today, she realized that there was no hope left between them. Yuan Wenbin asked her to make it clear, and Shen Chunyi proposed, "Let's break up." She then left the office in big strides.

At Huayitang, Qi Lang brought flowers into the flower shop. Jiang Leilei asked him to pay off the debts as soon as possible. She said that she wanted to invite the wives she used to know to host a unique afternoon tea event. Qi Lang felt that she was inviting trouble, but Jiang Leilei believed that those wives would become her potential customers.

Noodle Shop, Leng Siming presented the basic concept of the companion care robot to President Yuan, indicating that it is the main product their company will develop in the future. President Yuan expressed his trust in Leng Siming because he saw his abilities and potential, but this time he asked him to go back and think carefully.

Meng Haotian found Mr. Lv Kai, who was on a date, and told him that she knew he had a wife, so they all went back to the coffee shop. Meng Haotian had previously deduced from observing Lv Kai's car that the owner should be a woman, and after confirming it, she was surprised to find out that Lv Kai actually had a wife.

Faced with this, Lv Kai had no choice but to admit it. Tang Na accused him of having a wife and still going on blind dates, deceiving many women. Lv Kai pleaded with them not to tell his wife about this, as he did it because he was hired as a marriage scammer by the Destiny Platform. Lv Kai revealed the inside story of the Destiny Platform to Meng Haotian, the Paidu Video Studio, and others, and Meng Haotian silently recorded the video.

Hua Yitang and Qi Lang handed the cooperation agreement to Jiang Leilei, stating that the guesthouse owner is ready to sign a one-year contract with her. Jiang Leilei was very happy because she achieved this through her own efforts. At night, Leng Siming told Meng Haotian that if they don't get President Yuan's approval, the plan will have to be temporarily put on hold. Meng Haotian helped Leng Siming analyze President Yuan's words from today and suggested reducing some functions while helping Leng Siming analyze the research focus of the companion care robot. Leng Siming immediately noted down the key points on the computer.

The next day, President Yuan finally signed the document, expressing his unwavering trust in Leng Siming. Lingzhi and Wang Dawei told Yuan Wenbin that their funding chain has been stretched to the limit. Yuan Wenbin asked them to reduce the budget for the first batch of products or change the product appearance to save money. Wang Dawei mentioned that there are limited budget cuts for packaging, and if the board of directors does not approve it soon, it will be difficult for them to continue. Yuan Wenbin was extremely angry, feeling that President Yuan was willing to invest in Leng Siming but not support Lingzhi. Yuan Wenbin asked Wang Dawei to delay as much as possible while he fights for the budget, making sure to launch the new product before the Lingdian Expo.

Apartment, Shen Chunyi realized that she shouldn't lose herself and rely on others to breathe, so she decided to go out and face herself again. Ji Mo noticed that Shen Chunyi had really changed and wished her all the best in the future. Paidu Video Studio, just as Tang Na finished editing the video, Director Zhang from the Destiny Platform came to the studio. Director Zhang said that Lv Kai's incident was an accident and hoped that Meng Haotian and the others wouldn't release the video. She promised that such a thing would never happen again. Seeing Meng Haotian's reluctance, Director Zhang mentioned that she heard Paidu Video Studio wasn't doing well lately, and coincidentally, their company had just received funding. She was willing to entrust them with producing the company's promotional video and even offered double compensation to Tang Na.

Seeing Tang Na hesitating, Meng Haotian voluntarily gave the decision-making power to her and left first. Tang Na stated that she didn't become a member for the sake of money and therefore didn't want their dirty money. Meng Haotian mentioned that the actions of the Destiny Platform had already violated the law, and she felt insulted from Director Zhang's expression. As a result, Director Zhang was urged to leave by Dun Dun and others.

In the evening, Leng Siming announced that the plan for the first robot had been approved and wanted to invite Meng Haotian to attend the celebration ceremony. Meng Haotian explained that she had been working on a series of videos exposing the blind date scams targeting urban women, and though she was busy, she agreed to attend his celebration banquet. The next day, Paidu Video showcased the challenges of modern women's blind dates through live broadcasts and videos.

Hua Yitang watched the live broadcast of Paidu Video and couldn't help but feel emotional, realizing that she also had someone she liked but lacked the courage to pursue. Jiang Leilei encouraged Hua Yitang to have confidence in herself. Seeing this, Hua Yitang decided to quit her job and go to another city to find the person she liked. In the evening, the blind date scam video by Paidu Video sparked a discussion, and even the television station reposted their video. Everyone happily gathered together to eat hot pot. Tang Na planned to invest the money she had retrieved along with some savings into the company, and Meng Haotian readily agreed.

Meng Haotian told Tang Na that she wanted to present the various challenges faced by girls through storytelling. Therefore, they could use the accumulated materials from all these years to create short dramas that would surely be exceptionally brilliant. Tang Na admired Meng Haotian for shouldering everything and still aspiring to realize ideals and aspirations. Meng Haotian stated that difficulty is not scary; what's scary is lacking the courage to pursue it.

Meanwhile, Lingdian Conference Room was also celebrating, with Leng Siming waiting for Meng Haotian to arrive. After the celebration banquet, they returned to the office, and Leng Siming regretted the absence of Meng Haotian's company. Meng Haotian called Leng Siming and explained that she had forgotten about their prior arrangement because of the Paidu Video celebration banquet. Leng Siming had no choice but to let her be busy and hung up the phone. Not long after, Meng Haotian arrived at Lingdian with a cake and saw Maji covering Leng Siming, who was sleeping on the couch, with a blanket.

Lingdian, Leng Siming woke up and saw that Meng Haotian was both happy and aggrieved. Meng Haotian had promised him that she would participate in all important occasions in the future. Lingdian was a little angry and had a stern face. He asked Meng Haotian about his position in her heart. Meng Haotian expressed that Lingdian was very important to her and apologized to him. The two of them resolved their past grievances and started to play around.

In the video call, Meng Haotian mentioned that no one is willing to invest in them at the moment, and the short dramas they want to make cost a lot of money. They started discussing the feasibility of producing the short dramas. Meng Haotian felt that they needed to hire a professional team to make the dramas and then assign them tasks. Lingdian, on the other hand, wanted to hire a team specifically to research caregiver robot technology to serve their products. Upon hearing this, Yu Yang thought of Qiao Kuan from the Shuangqiao team and mentioned that their technology is relatively mature. Lingdian planned to go and try it out.

Amy and Feng Shuai visited the filming set to visit Xia Yang. Xia Yang was very happy to be able to return to the set and shoot again. When they learned that they were looking for actors, Xia Yang expressed her willingness to help them shoot videos for free. Lingdian and Yu Yang went to Shuangqiao Company, where the office staff were busy modifying the program. Lingdian introduced himself as doing intelligent robot caregiving and wanted to seek cooperation, but Qiao Kuan immediately said they didn't need it and continued working.

Seeing this, Lingdian and Yu Yang decided to go back and discuss it further. Just as they were leaving, Wang Dawei saw them leaving Shuangqiao Company. He immediately called Yuan Wenbin and told him that Lingdian wasn't planning to do smart home devices but caregiver robots instead. Yuan Wenbin immediately turned the car around and asked Wang Dawei to come back to the company for a meeting. Meng Haotian's mother called her and said she had already reserved a spot at a hot pot restaurant, asking her and Lingdian to join her for dinner at 6 PM. Thinking that her mother wanted to have a lively gathering, Meng Haotian, after finishing her call with Lingdian, decided to invite Leng Nuan, Xiao Tuan, and Jiang Leilei as well.

Leng Nuan arrived at Huayitang, and Xiao Tuan mistook her for a thief and locked her inside the flower shop. Leng Nuan introduced herself as Lingdian's sister. Jiang Leilei happened to return to the flower shop and unlocked it for her. Leng Nuan explained that she came voluntarily to help but could only work part-time because she was still in school. Jiang Leilei, seeing that Leng Nuan didn't want any salary, promised her a commission for every successful order she handled.

Lingdian, who agreed to meet at three o'clock, was more than an hour late. Yu Yang was worried that something had happened to Lingdian. At Marji's house, Marji was suffering from a hangover headache when someone knocked on her door, disturbing her. Marji called Leng Siming and asked him to come to her house. Leng Siming arrived at Marji's doorstep, and the man still wanted to harass Marji. Leng Siming stopped him, and in the scuffle, his finger accidentally got injured.

At Marji's house, Marji explained that she got drunk last night and went to the wrong door. Leng Siming asked Marji what happened. Marji said that Sun Hao, her ex-boyfriend, was getting married to his first love. She sacrificed a lot for him but didn't get anything in return during their five years of dating. Leng Siming felt that she shouldn't torture herself like this and comforted her, telling her to learn to accept it and that time would heal everything.

Leng Siming finally arrived at the hot pot restaurant and explained that something unexpected came up, causing the delay. When Meng Haotian saw Leng Siming's injured hand, she quickly pulled him aside to ask about it. Leng Siming explained that Marji's neighbor was harassing her, and he got injured while helping out. Meng Haotian's mother, who had eavesdropped, warned Meng Haotian after Leng Siming left, advising her to maintain a proper distance between adults and to be more cautious.

At night, Meng Haotian anxiously helped Leng Siming treat his wound and then returned to her room and locked the door. Leng Siming had to bring a blanket from his own place and lay down on the couch to rest. The next day, Leng Siming overslept and entered the room intending to wake up Meng Haotian, but she had already left. In the office, as soon as Leng Siming arrived, Marji placed the breakfast she made for him on his desk and thanked him for helping her yesterday. Marji mentioned that she heard that the Shuangqiao team might be on the verge of bankruptcy, and they were currently lacking funds on a large scale.

At Paishe Video Studio, everyone was busy preparing to welcome Xia Yang and the director of the short film. However, the appointed time had passed, and the person who arrived was actually Mr. Li, the boss of Xia Yang's company. Mr. Li explained that Liang Luofei, the backstage manager of Xingqi Yixian, had some grievances against Meng Haotian and Xia Yang. Although Xia Yang was eager to help, Mr. Li said that he had to be responsible for the company's and the artist's interests.

Meng Haotian could only express her understanding and realized that the scheduled director did not show up today, probably for this reason as well. Mr. Li expressed his belief in the future development and potential growth of Meng Haotian's company but mentioned that resource acquisition would be limited within the industry. Meng Haotian thanked Mr. Li for his reminder. Afterwards, Meng Haotian found Fang Hui and handed her the planning proposal for the short film "Light Gatherer."

In Pai Video, Meng Haotian wants to collaborate with Fang Hui to create a short play. She believes that short plays are definitely the future trend. Fang Hui doesn't understand why she wants to collaborate with her. Meng Haotian tells her that Xingqi Yixian has been targeting Video Party because of Liang Luofei, and now there are no actors or directors daring to work with them. Fang Hui expresses her concern about the unfavorable economic environment in the entire market, and how small and medium-sized enterprises already struggle to survive. If they offend the industry leader, it will be even harder for them to survive. Meng Haotian understands Fang Hui's concerns and says that if they want to break the monopoly of Xingqi Yixian and the market's predicament, they can only work together and asks her to consider it before making a decision.

Shuangqiao, Mengjie, Qiaokuan, and their team have a meeting. Qiaokuan believes that they have been researching for five years and victory is within reach. He doesn't want to collaborate with other teams and let them steal their technological achievements. Mengjie tells them that there are no investors willing to invest anymore, and they are about to go bankrupt. Seeing Mengjie on the verge of breaking down, Qiaokuan quickly agrees to follow her arrangements. So, Mengjie leaves the meeting room and takes the initiative to discuss the collaboration approach with Leng Siming.

Huayitang, Jiang Leilei asks Qi Lang to help her watch the store, as she plans to go and pick up Xiao Tuan on an electric bike by herself. On the way, Jiang Leilei is scared by a reversing truck and falls to the ground along with her bike. Lingdian, who happens to be doing something at a nearby café, initially intends to give coffee to Leng Siming but seeing that he's not there, she hands the coffee to Yinuo instead. Seeing Yinuo tidying up the table, Meng Haotian learns that Maggie made breakfast and gave it to Leng Siming, feeling disappointed, she leaves.

In a taxi, Meng Haotian receives a message from Fang Hui, learning that she is willing to invest 40%. Meng Haotian quickly makes a phone call to have Amy prepare the contract. At the same time, Jiang Leilei sends a message asking Meng Haotian to take care of Xiao Tuan for one night. At night, Meng Haotian takes Xiao Tuan home. During dinner, when Meng Haotian sees Xiao Tuan feeling worried about Jiang Leilei, she quickly comforts him and asks him to eat more.

On the other side, Qi Lang helps Jiang Leilei back to her apartment. Before Qi Lang leaves, Jiang Leilei tells him that she really has something to ask for his help. In the bathroom, Jiang Leilei injures her hand and can't pull up the zipper on her dress. She asks Qi Lang to help her with it. Qi Lang feels very awkward and quickly escapes after helping.

Lingdian, Maggie enters the meeting room carrying supper and specially hands a meal to Leng Siming. Meng Haotian sees the photo of the meeting room taken by Yuyang and coincidentally, Xiao Tuan says he misses Leng Siming, so Meng Haotian asks him to call Leng Siming. When Leng Siming answers the phone, Maggie eavesdrops on their conversation. After the call, Leng Siming picks up his clothes and goes home.

As soon as Leng Siming steps out of the elevator, he sees Leng Nuan and Li Chenyang hugging each other. Learning that they established a relationship a month ago and Leng Nuan didn't tell him, Leng Siming is very angry. They don't talk for long, and Leng Nuan angrily drags Li Chenyang away. Leng Siming goes to Meng Haotian's house, and with the persuasion of Xiao Tuan, they reconcile and become sweet again.

The next day, Li Chenyang invites Leng Siming to a restaurant for a meal. Knowing that Leng Nuan wants to stay at home for a few days, Leng Siming asks Li Chenyang to tell her to come back quickly, saying that he is not angry with her. Li Chenyang assures Leng Siming that he will treat Leng Nuan well. Huayitang, Jiang Leilei is busy arranging the flower shop. Qi Lang sees that Jiang Leilei hurt her foot but still wears high heels, so he quickly asks her to sit on the sofa while he starts arranging.

The afternoon tea gathering begins. Jiang Leilei sincerely customizes different bouquets and fragrances as gifts for each lady. Mrs. Zhou, Fang Hui, and other ladies are very satisfied and full of praise. Through the ladies' conversation, Qi Lang learns that Jiang Leilei's ex-husband had an affair. Jiang Leilei takes this opportunity to tell the ladies that she is single and enjoying her life, and she showcases the new bouquets in the flower shop. Qi Lang looks at Jiang Leilei talking animatedly, with a smile on his face. After seeing the ladies off, Qi Lang quickly helps Jiang Leilei sit down and changes her into slippers.

Shuangqiao, Yuan Wenbin says that no matter what conditions Leng Siming offers, Lingzhi will double it. Mengjie hesitates a bit.

Leng Siming and Yu Yang bring Maji to Shuangqiao Company for a business discussion but unexpectedly see Yuan Wenbin and Wang Dawei coming out of the meeting room. Wang Dawei states that Shuangqiao Company has agreed to cooperate, and Mengjie also confirms her agreement to work with Yuan Wenbin. Fang Hui brings the director and screenwriter to the Pie Video Studio. Afterwards, Aimidun and others discuss the script with the director and screenwriter in preparation for the short film shooting.

In Shuangqiao, Wang Dawei tests the dual-headed robot's functions and finds them satisfactory. However, when Qiao Kuan asks a question, the robot keeps calculating but fails to provide a coherent answer. Wang Dawei thinks that Lingzhi's voice assistant can do better, so he asks Qiao Kuan to modify the program. Qiao Kuan believes that the voice assistant's responses are too perfunctory. As a companion robot, users want to have genuine emotional communication with it. Yuan Wenbin suggests not taking it too seriously, which angers Qiao Kuan, who walks away in anger. Mengjie quickly intervenes to ease the tension.

Another technician informs Yuan Wenbin that the main problem is the robot's inability to maintain continuous communication. Its answers are incoherent and inconsistent. They are currently working on solving this technical challenge but do not know when it will be resolved. Mengjie approaches Qiao Kuan and suggests finding an investor who offers the highest funding and has a strong background to support them.

At Pie Video, Fang Hui visits Meng Haotian with coffee. Meng Haotian thanks Fang Hui and acknowledges that it is because of her that the short film project can be officially launched. Learning that the director has been unable to find suitable actors for a long time, Fang Hui hands over the profiles of Five Elements Media artists to Meng Haotian.

In Huayitang, Li Chenyang brings the necklace Leng Siming bought to Leng Nuan and tells her that Leng Siming is no longer angry, asking her to come back home quickly. At that moment, Qi Lang brings a cup of milk tea to Jiang Leilei, and Jiang Leilei introduces them to each other. To repay Leng Nuan's help, Jiang Leilei passes the milk tea to Leng Nuan. Leng Nuan picks up the milk tea and notices Qi Lang staring at her. Seeing this, Leng Nuan hurriedly returns the milk tea to Jiang Leilei and leaves with Li Chenyang.

At Pie Video, Meng Haotian is gaining more confidence in the short film. If the short film performs well after its release, she plans to officially start the series project. Fang Hui suggests signing multi-season contracts directly with Five Elements Media artists to bind them together. Meng Haotian believes that if they want to create a series in the future, they will need to win over more investors. She wants to involve Zhou Yu in the production and asks Fang Hui to negotiate with him, to which Fang Hui readily agrees.

In Shuangqiao, Maji invites Qiao Kuan and the others to have dinner together. In the evening, Leng Siming also joins the gathering. After a few rounds of drinks, Qiao Kuan asks Leng Siming what kind of robot he wants to create. Leng Siming says he wants to make a psychological companion robot that understands people and is not cold. Qiao Kuan agrees with Leng Siming's idea because giving robots life and emotions is what they want to achieve. He believes that artificial intelligence should have warmth. Seeing the other two technicians urging him to give it a try, Qiao Kuan suggests going to Lingdian to work next week, which makes Leng Siming very happy.

Leng Siming returns home and sees Meng Haotian busy working, so he has dinner alone in the living room. Suddenly, Leng Siming receives a call from Maji, saying that their neighbor is blocking her door again. Leng Siming tells Meng Haotian about it, and they go together to Maji's place. Upon arrival, Leng Siming drives away the man, and Meng Haotian suggests that Maji should not rely on Leng Siming next time and instead directly report to the police. Maji says the police are helpless as well, so she has considered moving out and asks Leng Siming if he knows of any available houses. Seeing this, Meng Haotian blocks Maji's view of Leng Siming and takes the initiative to help her find a house.

Zhou Yu thinks that the short film proposal and script sent by Fang Hui are excellent, so he contacts her. Fang Hui brings Zhou Yu to meet Meng Haotian. When Zhou Yu sees Meng Haotian, he exchanges only a few words before getting up to leave. Meng Haotian quickly calls him back, saying that she wants to discuss the possibility of joint production. Fang Hui believes that binding the three companies together can share the risks. Meng Haotian apologizes to Zhou Yu for the past incidents involving Lingzhi. Seeing this, Zhou Yu sits back down and discusses with them.

At Lingdian, Dreamjie is the only one who comes to the office instead of Qiao Kuan and the others. Dreamjie tells Leng Siming that they are only concerned with reality and not ideals, so they plan to invest in the technology. Yuan Wenbin tries to contact Shen Chunyi through messages and calls but cannot reach her. Wang Dawei informs Yuan Wenbin that Shuangqiao's team has signed a contract with Lingdian because their previous agreement was only verbal and cannot be enforced. Upon hearing this, Yuan Wenbin asks Wang Dawei to find a better team.

At night, Yuan Wenbin goes to Jimo Apartment to inquire about Shen Chunyi's whereabouts. At that moment, Shen Chunyi, who is resting outside, discovers that she is pregnant.

At Pie Video, Xiao Rui and Mrs. Zhou come to the studio. Zhou Yu is preparing to sign the contract when Mrs. Zhou stops him.

Mrs. Zhou told Zhou Yu that Meng Haotian offended Xingqi Yixian. Xiao Rui believes that Meng Haotian wants to use Wuxing Media and Ruida as a shield. Learning that Mrs. Zhou Wang Wenyun and the current CEO of Xingqi Yixian, Wang Wenjun, are siblings, Meng Haotian is very surprised, and Mrs. Zhou takes Zhou Yu away. Seeing this, Meng Haotian says that the cooperation and investment can wait, but it should not delay the filming progress. Meng Haotian receives a text message, and Leng Siming tells her that Maji is moving today, so Meng Haotian volunteers to help. Maji wants to make things difficult for Meng Haotian, but Meng Haotian has already arranged a moving company for her.

Huayitang and Li Chenyang propose to Jiang Leilei that Qi Lang should arrive on time to clock in at the flower shop. Jiang Leilei says that even if she deducts money, Qi Lang doesn't have any to pay, and Leng Nuan jokingly suggests that Qi Lang should offer himself. At that moment, Qi Lang enters the flower shop, and Leng Nuan informs him of their conversation. Qi Lang takes Jiang Leilei aside and expresses his desire for stability and not wanting to wander. He assures Jiang Leilei that he carefully considers every word he says. Seeing Jiang Leilei's desire to escape, Qi Lang looks at her and asks her to believe in him. He doesn't mind that Jiang Leilei has been divorced and has a child. Jiang Leilei refuses Qi Lang and asks him to leave quickly. Seeing Jiang Leilei's reaction, Qi Lang has no choice but to leave the flower shop.

The moving company has finished moving, and Meng Haotian has something to do and plans to leave first. At this moment, Maji suddenly apologizes to her, saying that she has fallen in love with Leng Siming and wants to compete with Meng Haotian openly. Meng Haotian says she trusts Leng Siming and doesn't mind Maji's actions. Later, Maji goes to Leng Siming's office and asks him out to dinner. Leng Siming says he needs to go home to cook for Meng Haotian. Maji stops Leng Siming and confesses her feelings to him. Leng Siming thinks that Maji is just confused because of her recent breakup. Maji argues back, saying that she plans to leave the company to detach herself from her emotions. Leng Siming respects her choice.

At Pie Video, there is a heated argument in the studio. Amy tells Meng Haotian that the manager has taken all the artists from Wuxing Media, and the director is angry and leaves because he is not satisfied with the other artists. Meng Haotian tells them to calm the director down first and leave the actor's problem to her. At Wuxing Media, Meng Haotian finds Zhou Yu and tells him that the artists have been taken by the manager, and the director only approves of Wuxing Media's artists. The project is already underway, and they can't afford any delays. So she hopes Zhou Yu can talk to two actors and give each other a chance. Afterwards, Zhou Yu brings two actors to ask for their opinions on the script, and both actors are very satisfied with it. Therefore, Zhou Yu promises to help Meng Haotian solve the actor's problem.

At Pie Video, Xiao Rui is willing to negotiate a lower price for the shooting location for Meng Haotian. Meng Haotian is somewhat surprised, and Xiao Rui says that he saw the successful collaboration between Pie Video and Wuxing Media, and Ruida is also his company, so he decided to help them move the project forward.

Lingzhi, Yuan Wenbin questions which part of his plan does not comply with the regulations. Mr. Yuan says that his project is about to drain Lingzhi's money. Yuan Wenbin is angry because Mr. Yuan is willing to invest in Leng Siming but not support him. Mr. Yuan looks at him and says that Yuan Wenbin is no longer suitable to be the CEO of Lingzhi and notifies him that he is suspended. On the other hand, Shen Chunyi is singing happily with the children. Ji Mo looks at Shen Chunyi and can't help but feel happy for her. Ji Mo tells Shen Chunyi about Yuan Wenbin coming to see him and Shen Chunyi plans to wait until she is ready before telling Yuan Wenbin about the children.

At Huayitang, Jiang Leilei is interviewing for a new hire. Qi Lang asks her why she didn't ask him for help. Jiang Leilei thinks it's better for them to keep their distance and says she doesn't have the mindset for other things now. Qi Lang laughs and transfers the money he owes to Jiang Leilei and expresses his feelings to her. Hearing Qi Lang's words, Jiang Leilei is deeply moved but still unable to accept his affection. Seeing this, Qi Lang declares they are even and leaves the flower shop.

At Lingdian, Qiao Kuan has improved the accuracy of the deep learning algorithm, but it still cannot answer emotional questions. Leng Siming sees that the technology is still unable to overcome the difficulties and plans to produce a batch of robots in advance and gradually update them later. Meng Jie agrees with Leng Siming's idea. Qiao Kuan tells them not to be impatient and gives himself some more time to break through. Leng Siming and Meng Jie think Qiao Kuan doesn't need to be so persistent. Qiao Kuan looks at their casual attitude, gets angry, and leaves. At night, Yu Yang tells Leng Siming that Qiao Kuan is missing and cannot be reached.

The mini-drama filmed by Pie Video is finally online, but soon after, the video is suddenly taken down. Amy tells Meng Haotian that the scenes in their video were set up by Xingqi Yixian, and they illegally used someone else's location, so they were reported with real names. Meng Haotian believes that someone is setting them up. Fang Hui and Zhou Yu rush to Pie Video when they see the video being taken down. Meng Haotian tells them the situation, and Zhou Yu arranges a meeting with Xiao Rui at Wuxing Media. Zhou Yu looks at Xiao Rui's signature on the contract and asks him what's going on. Xiao Rui says he has also been framed.

Huayitang, Jiang Leilei couldn't help but laugh when she saw the flat shoes that Qi Lang bought for her before. Leng Nuan thinks Jiang Leilei should try to be with Qi Lang. She can tell that Qi Lang's feelings for Jiang Leilei are genuine. Leng Nuan mentions that she has been busy with her studies lately and worries that she won't be able to help Jiang Leilei. Jiang Leilei says she can't accept a relationship with Qi Lang just because she temporarily needs him. She has too many concerns, and the flower shop plans to hire someone else to help.

In the office of Wuxing Media, Zhou Yu is drinking, and his wife suggests that Wang Wenjun is willing to immediately withdraw the complaint, but the condition is for Zhou Yu to sever his partnership with Meng Haotian. Zhou's wife says that as long as they succeed in cooperating with Xingqi Yixian, they can ease the tension with their family. Zhou Yu refuses her proposal and continues drinking. His wife gets angry and leaves.

Meanwhile, at Ruida, Xiao Rui sneaks into the office and searches for the company seal. Fang Hui and Amy confront him when they enter the office. Fang Hui checks Xiao Rui's bills and discovers that he is the so-called intermediary. Xiao Rui explains that he collaborated with Wang Wenjun for Ruida's development and tells Fang Hui that he has negotiated all the conditions for exchanging resources. Fang Hui tears up Xiao Rui's contract and accuses him of disregarding business ethics and principles. Xiao Rui tries to grab the company seal from Amy, but Dun Dun and Feng Shuai quickly intervene to stop him. Fang Hui declares that she will never let Xiao Rui take the company seal to sign a contract and leaves the office with Amy, Dun Dun, and the others.

At Lingdian, Leng Siming discovers that the dual-headed robot only malfunctions when asked the question "Do you like me?" Meng Jie says Qiao Kuan can't let go of his family issues, and his inner loneliness drives him to develop a robot that can truly accompany people. In the evening, Leng Siming is at home writing a program. The dual-headed robot, Zhen Bao, asks if it likes him, and once again, it enters a malfunctioning state. Zhen Bao says, "It's okay if you can't answer, I like you anyway," and suddenly, the dual-headed robot starts moving again.

At the café, Meng Haotian tells Zhou's wife that she is willing to withdraw from the collaboration this time. She wants to protect her partners and let the relationship between Wuxing Media and Xingqi Yixian thaw. Then, Meng Haotian shows Zhou's wife a video of behind-the-scenes footage of Zhou Yu working on set. Zhou's wife watches the video and sighs, realizing that she hasn't seen Zhou Yu's passionate side on set for a long time. She always thought Zhou Yu founded Wuxing Media to make money, but now she realizes that his passion for filmmaking has never changed. Meng Haotian says that Zhou Yu and his wife have been sacrificing for each other, and she doesn't want to let their relationship be affected by this.

At Lingzhi, Yuan Wenbin's card has expired, and the receptionist doesn't let him enter. Wang Dawei arrives on the first floor and asks the receptionist for a visitor card, allowing Yuan Wenbin to enter. In the office, Yuan Wenbin asks Wang Dawei to leave the company with him, but Wang Dawei refuses. He says he has worked hard in Lingzhi for many years to reach his current position and doesn't want to leave. He tells Yuan Wenbin not to interfere. Angered by Wang Dawei's smug attitude, Yuan Wenbin leaves.

In the evening, Qiao Kuan secretly returns to the Lingdian office, and the dual-headed robot enters the room to talk to him. Qiao Kuan asks, "Do you like me?" Unexpectedly, the dual-headed robot can actually answer. Qiao Kuan looks at the robot, feeling deeply moved. At that moment, Leng Siming returns to Lingdian to work overtime, and Qiao Kuan asks him what he did to make the robot respond emotionally. Leng Siming explains that he modified the algorithm, enabling the dual-headed robot to not only answer but also interact.

At Lingdian, Meng Jie feels that the dual-headed robot has been given life by Qiao Kuan. Qiao Kuan explains that the robot still relies on data retrieval to provide feedback to users, but its capability is powerful enough. Yu Yang says that this technology has surpassed all similar products on the market. Leng Siming plans to have the manufacturing factory produce the product and then hold a press conference to promote it worldwide.

At Pai Video, Dun Dun tells Meng Haotian that the complaint has been withdrawn, and their short drama is back online. Meng Haotian is very happy. Zhou Yu comes to find Meng Haotian and says that he talked with his wife for a long time last night. After they had a heart-to-heart conversation, Zhou's wife took the shares and went to negotiate with Wang Wenjun. From now on, Meng Haotian won't have any troubles.

In the evening, Meng Haotian and Leng Siming celebrate their success in their careers. Leng Siming tells Meng Haotian that he received a call from his family, inviting her to meet his parents. Meng Haotian says she is happy with Leng Siming, but she hasn't seriously thought about meeting his parents yet.

Huayitang, Xiao Tuan kept complaining about being hungry, but Jiang Leilei was busy moving flowers and could only ask him to wait. Suddenly, Xiao Tuan noticed several dishes placed on the table outside the flower shop. He recognized them as the dishes they had eaten at the hotel and asked Jiang Leilei where Qi Lang went. Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Leilei mentioned that if she wanted to be with Qi Lang, she wanted to know Xiao Tuan's opinion. Xiao Tuan expressed that he really liked Qi Lang because Lao Luo was never around, and he wanted Qi Lang to protect Jiang Leilei. Overwhelmed with emotions, Jiang Leilei couldn't help but cry, feeling like she had lost Qi Lang. She stood up and called out Qi Lang's name. Before long, Qi Lang appeared from the side. He intended to leave first, but Jiang Leilei quickly mentioned that she had to go to a homestay over the weekend to discuss the seasonal transition plan and asked if Qi Lang could accompany her.

A little girl complained that Shen Chunyi was going to have a baby and couldn't play ball with them anymore. While saying this, she pulled the little boy away. Yuan Wenbin finally found Shen Chunyi and told her that he had left Lingzhi and had nothing left. Shen Chunyi told him to find another way to fight for what belonged to him and that there was still time for everything. Seeing this, Yuan Wenbin asked if it was still possible between them. With tears in her eyes, Shen Chunyi said they had both been too stubborn and had been exhausting each other, but he would always be the child's father. Yuan Wenbin wanted to stay there for a while, and Shen Chunyi gladly agreed.

At the homestay, Qi Lang believed that it was dangerous for Jiang Leilei to walk on stones in high heels. Jiang Leilei asked him to hold onto her, and then Qi Lang looked at Jiang Leilei, who took the initiative to hold his hand, and asked what she meant. Jiang Leilei told Qi Lang that she had just ended a seven-year marriage, and Lao Luo made her lose trust in marriage and love, so she didn't want any man to enter her life. Seeing that Qi Lang wanted to leave, Jiang Leilei yelled that his appearance disrupted her plans. She had been afraid to confront her true feelings and then expressed various worries. Suddenly, Qi Lang stepped forward and kissed Jiang Leilei, making her believe that he would treat her and Xiao Tuan well.

During a meal, Meng Haotian told her mother that Leng Siming asked her to go home with him, but she was a little scared. She cried and expressed her confusion about marriage. Meng Haotian's mother told her that marriage itself is not wrong; what's wrong is the person. The most important thing is whether she feels that person is right. Once she finds the right person, she should hold onto them and not let go. So, Meng Haotian packed her things and went home with Leng Siming.

Leng Siming brought Meng Haotian home, but unexpectedly, Leng's father appeared with Maji. During dinner, Leng's father suddenly asked about Meng Haotian's father's job, and Meng Haotian answered truthfully. To ease the tense atmosphere, Leng Siming introduced the videos posted by Pai Video to his father. Leng's father expressed his anticipation for collaborating with Pai Video and introduced Maji as their future daughter-in-law. Upon hearing this, Leng Siming couldn't help but interrupt his father's words and argued with him about marriage. Leng's father stated that dating was their freedom, but marriage should be based on social status and background, and that's why Maji was their daughter-in-law. Meng Haotian held back Leng Siming, who was about to get angry, thanked Leng's parents for their hospitality, and left. Leng Siming was about to chase after her when suddenly his father had a heart attack. In the end, Meng Haotian left alone, taking a plane back home. In the evening, Meng Haotian recalled her father's words and sadly turned off her phone.

Leng's father believed that his actions were for Leng Siming's own good, and they started arguing again. Leng's mother mentioned that Leng Siming was needed at the company because his father's health was not good. Seeing this, Leng Siming agreed to go back to the company with his father, but he would have to leave once things were resolved.

Huayitang, Lao Luo mentioned that he had business to discuss with Yuan Wenbin and asked Jiang Leilei to give him Yuan Wenbin's contact information. Jiang Leilei said that she couldn't help with work matters and hurried into the flower shop. Later, Lao Luo found Yuan Wenbin and told him that he had a great project that would allow him to achieve great success. The two of them arrived at a cafe, where Lao Luo handed the proposal to Yuan Wenbin and continuously tempted him to join the project.

Wuxing Media, Zhou Yu, Fang Hui, and Meng Haotian discussed the development plan for the drama, but Meng Haotian seemed absent-minded.

Meng Haotian said that in order to shoot a long drama, they must rely on other investors and platforms. If the platforms get involved, they will lose their voice. Therefore, she still wants to stick to her original intention and shoot a series of short dramas consisting of forty episodes. Fang Hui and Zhou Yu think that shooting forty episodes at once is too risky. Meng Haotian believes that they shouldn't hesitate and should go all out.

In the conference room, Lao Luo and Yuan Wenbin discussed with two investors. Lao Luo gave them the equity contract and the share buyback contract. Seeing Yuan Wenbin signing, the two investors followed suit. In Huayitang, Qi Lang was playing with Xiao Tuan when Lao Luo walked into the flower shop. Jiang Leilei introduced Qi Lang as her boyfriend. Yuan Wenbin entered a jewelry store with Shen Chunyi, saying that he had found a new project. Later, Yuan Wenbin bought a limited edition diamond ring for Shen Chunyi.

In Huayitang, Lao Luo learned that Xiao Tuan had not signed up for the overseas study camp for children, and he said it was not just a study camp but also a social circle that needed to be established from an early age. Jiang Leilei believed that the study camp had nothing to do with learning, and there was no need to spend over a hundred thousand just to play. Lao Luo accused Jiang Leilei of not understanding social norms and promised to cover all the expenses for Xiao Tuan in the future.

In the conference room, the two investors told Yuan Wenbin that the product model provided by Lao Luo was fake and they couldn't produce it. They invested in the project only because of Yuan Wenbin's face and demanded a solution from him. Yuan Wenbin quickly called Lao Luo, but Lao Luo's phone was already turned off.

In Huayitang, Jiang Leilei and Qi Lang were being intimate when they turned around and saw Xiao Tuan and Leng Nuan. Leng Nuan told Jiang Leilei that she had found an internship opportunity. Shortly after, Yuan Wenbin angrily rushed into the flower shop, saying that Lao Luo had cheated him out of three million yuan and used his name to cheat others out of tens of millions. Upon learning that Lao Luo had disappeared with the investment funds, Jiang Leilei was shocked, but she had no idea where Lao Luo went. In the evening, Jiang Leilei kept calling people she knew to inquire about Lao Luo's whereabouts but got no information.

In the noodle restaurant, Lao Yuan heard that Yuan Wenbin was looking for Lao Luo and said that people around him were saying that Yuan Wenbin was a fraudster. Yuan Wenbin believed that Lao Yuan kicked him out of Lingzhi because he wanted to see him in a miserable state and that Lao Yuan had never provided any help. He angrily left.

In the apartment, Shen Chunyi wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with Ji Mo to help Yuan Wenbin open up and hoped that their child could grow up in a happy and warm environment. They entered the room, but not long after, Yuan Wenbin burst into tears and couldn't help but pour out his heart to Ji Mo, saying that he just wanted to gain approval from Lao Yuan.

Leng Siming returned to Meng Haotian's doorstep by plane. Meng Haotian opened the door and organized the things he left at her place, handing them to him, saying that they needed to calm down for a while. Leng Siming took out the prepared ring, but Meng Haotian believed that what Leng's father wanted was a well-behaved and quiet woman as his daughter-in-law. So, Meng Haotian shook off Leng Siming's hand and closed the door.

Finally, Yuan Wenbin and Jiang Leilei found Lao Luo and arrived at the clubhouse. Lao Luo used the project proposal to deceive the investors again, but Yuan Wenbin told them the truth, and the two investors angrily left. Yuan Wenbin told Lao Luo that he had also been deceived and planned to raise more funds to restart the project. Jiang Leilei told Lao Luo that Xiao Tuan had found out that he was a fraud and was refusing to eat or drink until she found him. If he continued to deceive, Xiao Tuan would have a hard time living a righteous life in the future, so she advised him to surrender voluntarily. Lao Luo wanted to see Xiao Tuan first, and Qi Lang brought Xiao Tuan to the clubhouse. Lao Luo embraced Xiao Tuan, and they agreed to communicate through letters in the future.

Lao Luo walked out of the clubhouse and looked at the two police officers in front of him, unable to help but recall the scene of playing with Xiao Tuan before the divorce.

At the Yuan household, Old Yuan called to thank his colleagues for helping locate Lao Luo and explained that Yuan Wenbin had been deceived by Lao Luo. Afterwards, Old Yuan made a bowl of noodles for Yuan Wenbin and talked about his entrepreneurial experience, revealing that he opened the noodle restaurant to commemorate the past and that period of his life. Old Yuan mentioned that Yuan Wenbin had too much pride and couldn't handle setbacks, so he wanted him to gain some experience. Yuan Wenbin finally understood Old Yuan's intentions and ate the noodles with his head bowed.

Leng Siming received a call from Yu Yang, who confirmed the details of the press conference with him. Leng Siming couldn't muster up any enthusiasm. Shortly after, Yu Yang sent him the invitation letter for the press conference, and when Meng Haotian heard the doorbell, she saw the invitation letter from Lingdian.

On the day of the Lingdian press conference, Meng Haotian and the members of the technical department entered the venue, feeling like everything was a dream. In the dressing room, Leng Siming looked at the WeChat messages, feeling sad that Meng Haotian didn't reply or answer his calls. As the press conference was about to begin, Meng Haotian dressed formally and took the invitation letter with her as she left. The technical department personnel went on stage to introduce the functions of the Lingdian Care Robot Generation 1.

Meng Haotian arrived at the venue and sat in the back. Leng Siming took the stage to speak and mentioned that when developing the robot, someone had given him great inspiration, so he changed the dual voice to her voice.

The scene changed, and it turned out that Meng Haotian didn't go to the Lingdian press conference but attended the opening ceremony of the "Light Gatherer" series of short dramas. After Zhou Yu's speech, Fang Hui and Meng Haotian went on stage together to show their support and encouragement for the upcoming filming. As the Lingdian press conference ended, the others left one after another, but Leng Siming stayed at the venue waiting for Meng Haotian. Jiang Leilei brought flowers to Meng Haotian and congratulated her on the successful opening ceremony of the short drama, then introduced Qi Lang to Meng Haotian.

In the evening, Leng Siming packed up his things at home and looked at the photo of him and Meng Haotian, unable to help but stare blankly. Just as Meng Haotian returned home, she watched Leng Siming's speech at the Lingdian press conference and couldn't help but shed tears. Then Meng Haotian went to Leng Siming's door and knocked, but no one opened it, so she entered the house by entering the password. Looking at the dark house, Meng Haotian reminisced about their warm moments together and tears streamed down her face.

In the office, Maggie handed the investment agreement to Leng Siming, stating that the condition was to set up the production line in Haicheng. Maggie knew that Leng Siming had always had Meng Haotian in his heart, but she didn't mind and believed that they could develop feelings over time. Leng Siming said he couldn't sign the agreement; he wouldn't stay at Guosheng Real Estate indefinitely.

Qi Lang sold his motorcycle and bought a new car to pick up Xiao Tuan and Jiang Leilei. Qi Lang opened the trunk, and Jiang Leilei looked at the flowers inside. Taking this opportunity, Qi Lang expressed his feelings, got down on one knee, and proposed to her. Jiang Leilei happily accepted, and the two embraced sweetly.

At Meng Haotian's home, Meng Haotian was preparing the ingredients for hot pot. Her mother handed her a bank card, saying that it was the money she had given her over the years and told her to go out and enjoy herself when she had free time. In the evening, Qi Lang, Jiang Leilei, Xiao Tuan, and Meng Haotian had hot pot together. Upon learning that Leng Siming had not contacted Meng Haotian for half a year, Jiang Leilei suggested that Meng Haotian consider contacting Leng Siming proactively, and Meng Haotian's mother also agreed that the right person is hard to come by.

At a café, Maggie arranged to meet Meng Haotian. Maggie explained that she had been with Leng Siming for the past six months, but his heart had always belonged to Meng Haotian. She also mentioned that Leng Siming had been in conflict with his father and finally managed to convince him, allowing Meng Haotian to seize the opportunity. Meng Haotian left the café and coincidentally, it started to rain heavily. Just as Meng Haotian was about to get wet, Leng Siming appeared from behind and held an umbrella for her, asking her where she was going. Meng Haotian said she was going to the Fairy Tale Town and asked if Leng Siming wanted to go together. Leng Siming nodded affirmatively. The two exchanged a smile and left together.
