Su Mo's performance in the interview impressed Wang Juan. However, after looking at Su Mo's resume, he was curious why she didn't start working right after graduation and waited three years to participate in the interview. The interviewers asked Su Mo to show her graduation certificate, and she immediately felt embarrassed. Su Mo hesitated but eventually took out her certificate, explaining that she obtained her undergraduate degree through self-study. The interviewers were stunned, and Wang Juan angrily criticized them for not being strict enough in their screening process. Wang Juan left in a huff, and Cong Rong followed him. Su Mo caught up with Wang Juan and confessed that she had taken the blame for cheating on behalf of her ex-boyfriend during her college years, which is why she didn't have her graduation certificate. Wang Juan scoffed and said that if not having the certificate was the result of her actions, it only proved her foolishness. Su Mo indeed regretted her past actions and had no words to respond.

That evening, Cong Rong invited Su Mo to her home. Cong Rong was worried about her son Ke Le's extracurricular homework, and Su Mo used her expertise to help solve the problem. Su Mo also expressed her urgent need for a job, and Cong Rong wanted to help her. Hearing the reasons for Su Mo's dismissal, Cong Rong breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Mo Weiqing was a good friend of Cong Rong's, and she was willing to speak up for Su Mo. That night, Su Mo found Mo Weiqing at the club, where Mo Weiqing was drinking with Shang Chun and Wang Siwei. Su Mo took the initiative to plead with Mo Weiqing and shared her rejection by Yan Sheng earlier that day. Wang Siwei felt a sense of camaraderie upon learning that Su Mo had been rejected by Wang Juan.

When Wang Siwei found out that Wang Juan was at the club that night attending a gathering with his classmates, he had an idea. Wang Siwei used the excuse of requiring Su Mo to sincerely apologize, which could only be done through drinking. Su Mo was forced to drink one glass after another. Mo Weiqing found it boring and left early, while Wang Siwei became more audacious and kept pouring drinks for Su Mo.

In the club room, Wang Juan suddenly discovered someone moving under his blanket on the bed. Curiously, he lifted the blanket to find Su Mo lying there, fully clothed. Su Mo, sobering up and seeing Wang Juan, felt a mix of urgency and anger. She angrily berated him, and Wang Juan, feeling puzzled, believed that Su Mo had ulterior motives and angrily exchanged words with her. Both of them suspected each other's ill intentions, and after hurriedly getting dressed, Su Mo left.

The next day, Su Mo went to Cong Rong's office and angrily accused Mo Weiqing of being narrow-minded and plotting against her. Cong Rong didn't believe that Mo Weiqing was that kind of person and wanted the two of them to have a face-to-face confrontation to clarify things. When Mo Weiqing arrived, she explained her early departure and admitted that she didn't know what Wang Siwei and Shang Chun did afterwards. Su Mo didn't believe her and thought that if Mo Weiqing could be a third party in a relationship, she could do even more despicable things. Su Mo decided to find evidence on her own. When Cong Rong learned that Wang Siwei was with Su Mo the previous night, she had a good idea of what had happened.

Su Mo confronted the lobby manager at the club, demanding answers. The manager, acting on Wang Siwei's orders, stubbornly refused to provide the surveillance footage from the previous night. Shortly after, the club staff reported that the surveillance was not working and couldn't be retrieved. Su Mo reluctantly left in frustration. Not long after, the person sent by Wang Juan also reported that they couldn't find the club's surveillance footage and mentioned that Su Mo had been looking into it as well. Wang Juan seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

In the evening, while staying at her uncle's house, Su Mo overheard her aunt complaining about her insufficient living expenses. Su Mo felt sad but helpless. The next day, Su Mo went to the school to attend a parent-teacher meeting for her cousin Zhong Sheng. She happened to encounter Zhong Sheng being bothered by a classmate, Wang Jian, who was a rich underachiever. After helping Zhong Sheng resolve the situation, Su Mo went to the classroom and had just sat down when Wang Jian's parent, Wang Juan, arrived late and sat next to Su Mo. It turned out that Wang Jian was Wang Juan's younger brother, mischievous and academically poor. Wang Juan had been publicly criticized by the teacher, while Su Mo was admired because Zhong Sheng was a top student.

After the parent-teacher meeting, the teacher called Wang Juan and Wang Jian to the office for a talk. Wang Juan had to lower his head and be extremely cautious. The teacher also mentioned that Zhong Sheng's parent requested Wang Jian to be moved to a different seat, and Wang Juan hastily agreed. However, Wang Jian anxiously tried to dissuade Wang Juan, as he wanted to continue sitting next to Zhong Sheng. Wang Juan assured the teacher that he would educate Wang Jian well. After leaving the teacher's office, both Wang Juan and Wang Jian felt extremely dejected.
