Modern metropolis Shanghai. Su Mo, a white-collar worker, is working in a high-end clothing store, striving every day, hoping to succeed in this big city based on her own abilities. On this day, Wang Juan, a director of Yan Sheng Group, had to buy a new set of clothes at the clothing store because his luggage was lost at the airport. He was rushing to attend a board meeting at Yan Sheng Group. While Wang Juan was purchasing clothes at the store, Su Mo's colleague Jin Yan provided him with service. They immediately clashed and started to dislike each other. Seeing the situation, Su Mo took the initiative to replace Jin Yan. Finally, the deal was made, and Su Mo generously attributed the transaction to Jin Yan's credit, making Jin Yan happy. Shortly after Wang Juan left the clothing store, Su Mo realized that she forgot to give Wang Juan the complimentary men's cologne. She hurriedly caught up with Wang Juan and sincerely apologized to him. Wang Juan gave Su Mo a meaningful look and glanced at her.

Hastily, Wang Juan hurried back to Yan Sheng Group, where a board meeting was taking place. Three years ago, Wang Juan went to France to turn around a struggling subsidiary on the brink of bankruptcy. Now, Yan Sheng Square was facing the edge of bankruptcy, and he hurriedly returned to prepare to save it. Wang Siwei, Wang Juan's younger brother, continued to harbor animosity towards his older brother. When Wang Juan presented his preliminary transformation plan, Wang Siwei aggressively challenged him. Wang Juan calmly stated that he was willing to wager all his shares in Yan Sheng, and if he failed, he would surrender all his shares. Wang Juan's boldness astonished everyone at the board meeting. In the final vote, as Wang Siwei saw everyone in the meeting raising their hands in agreement, reluctantly, he had to raise his hand as well. Wang Juan's proposal passed unanimously, and Wang Siwei's face turned dark on the spot.

After the meeting, Wang Siwei angrily stormed into Zhang Yanan's office. Zhang Yanan was the chairman of Yan Sheng. She was classmates with Wang Juan and Wang Siwei's late father, Wang Jianming. They, along with a few other classmates, co-founded Yan Sheng Group, and Yan Sheng Square was the foundation of their group, so she attached great importance to it. Zhang Yanan was discussing the next steps with Wang Juan when Wang Siwei burst in and accused the board of deliberately assigning him the responsibility of demolition work to exclude him from the core of the board. Zhang Yanan explained that it was a decision made by the board, not a personal one. Wang Siwei angrily stormed out of the office. Then he went to inform his business partner Shang Chun that Wang Juan had returned, and their previous plans for cooperation might have to be terminated due to this incident.

Mo Weiqing, a wealthy and beautiful woman, came to Su Mo's store to buy clothes. Mo Weiqing was extremely picky about Su Mo's professional service, and Su Mo patiently served her despite the annoyance. Su Mo's colleagues sympathized with her. At that moment, Shang Chun came to find Mo Weiqing, and Mo Weiqing immediately changed from being willful to gentle and virtuous. As usual, Shang Chun paid for all the clothes and shoes Mo Weiqing chose with his credit card. While Su Mo was processing Shang Chun's payment, Shang Chun's fiancée, Lin Ailin, suddenly arrived. Mo Weiqing wanted to escape, but Su Mo intentionally stopped her. Mo Weiqing had no choice but to confront Lin Ailin with a brave face. Lin Ailin looked down on Mo Weiqing with a superior attitude and humiliated her before leaving with a proud demeanor. Mo Weiqing, feeling humiliated, vented her anger on Su Mo and threatened to file a complaint against her.

Wang Juan personally inspected the marketing department, and then he summoned Zhao Qingxiang and Cong Rong, the heads of departments one and two, to his office. It turned out that Wang Juan overheard Zhao Qingxiang and Cong Rong discussing the company's situation in the elevator. Wang Juan had a conversation with the two of them and promised that the office they were in would be the future office of the Director of Business Development. He would choose one of them for that position. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and as soon as Zhao Qingxiang left the room, he directly declared war on Cong Rong, determined to win the Director position.

Due to Mo Weiqing's complaint, Su Mo was forced to resign as she felt the need to defend her dignity. Unexpectedly, life struck back at her immediately. Su Mo's mother called to inform her that her father was hospitalized and needed medical expenses. Su Mo didn't expect life's blows to come so quickly, and she was extremely worried. Cong Rong called Su Mo and asked her to pick up her son, Ke Le, at the store. Su Mo readily agreed. That evening, after Su Mo finished helping Ke Le with his homework, Cong Rong rushed back home. Cong Rong was very grateful for Su Mo's help and mentioned a job opportunity for her. Su Mo was pleasantly surprised.

Su Mo made thorough preparations that night and went to Yan Sheng for an interview the next day. Zhao Qingxiang and Cong Rong, among others, interviewed Su Mo. Just as Su Mo was answering Zhao Qingxiang's question, Wang Juan happened to pass by. Wang Juan came over curiously, and when he saw that the interviewee was Su Mo, he was stunned.
