Wang Jian insisted on studying acting, which greatly displeased Wang Juan. However, Wang Jian didn't listen to his older brother's words. Helpless, Wang Juan turned to Su Mo, hoping that Zhong Sheng could persuade Wang Jian to change his mind.

Wang Juan expressed his thoughts to Su Mo, but she believed that it was Wang Jian's own business and had nothing to do with her sister, Zhong Sheng. Su Mo mentioned the incident where Zhong Sheng's father was injured due to the demolition of the shops. However, Wang Juan believed that Wang Jian's desire to study acting was only to be closer to Zhong Sheng. He didn't want his younger brother to regret his decision in the future. Su Mo eventually agreed to tell Zhong Sheng about it, but whether Zhong Sheng would intervene or not depended on his own decision.

Upon returning home, Wang Juan mentioned the incident of someone getting injured during the demolition work to Wang Siwei. Wang Siwei stated that as long as the job was completed, he hadn't done anything wrong. The two of them argued again. Meanwhile, Su Mo and Zhong Sheng discussed their career choices. Zhong Sheng changed his aspiration from becoming a doctor to studying finance. Su Mo mistakenly thought that Zhong Sheng changed his mind for money and advised him to stick to his dreams. Zhong Sheng expressed that being a doctor wasn't his dream, and he simply wanted to do something for others. After his father's injury, Zhong Sheng realized that even as a doctor, he needed a solid foundation in material wealth to help others. He believed that in order to help others, he needed to become strong himself. Hearing this, Su Mo finally understood that Zhong Sheng's decision wasn't impulsive but something he had thought through. She felt relieved and promised to support him.

Wang Juan and Wang Jian once again discussed their career choices. This time, they sat down and had a calm conversation. Wang Jian expressed his genuine passion for acting and stated that it was indeed his dream, not solely motivated by his desire to be closer to Zhong Sheng. Seeing how serious Wang Jian was, Wang Juan finally agreed. As an older brother, he genuinely wanted Wang Jian to pursue his dreams.

As usual, Director Cao invited Hao Chengyi to go bowling. Suddenly, he noticed Su Mo passing by and went after her, claiming that the weather was bad and it would be inconvenient for her to take a taxi, so he offered to drive her home. Su Mo reluctantly agreed, unable to refuse. Director Cao left Hao Chengyi behind and walked with Su Mo towards the parking lot. Inside the car, Director Cao helped Su Mo fasten her seatbelt, and due to the close proximity, Su Mo felt slightly uncomfortable. After all, Director Cao was a married man. The scene was witnessed by Wang Juan and Tianyu. During the ride, Director Cao complimented Su Mo's good temperament and made remarks about his own deteriorating relationship with his wife. He hinted at Su Mo, implying that their relationship wasn't purely professional. Su Mo understood the underlying meaning in Director Cao's words and asked him to stop the car, not wanting to be further entangled with him. However, Director Cao kept driving. Determined, Su Mo insisted on opening the car door, and only then did Director Cao stop the car. Su Mo was able to leave without further incident.

The next day, Su Mo delivered documents to Anna and was seen by Director Cao passing by. Director Cao used the excuse of borrowing the documents as a reason to call Su Mo into his office. He then closed the curtains and attempted to give Su Mo a necklace worth thousands of yuan, claiming that he had received a fine for parking at the intersection and wanted Su Mo to compensate him. As he spoke, he tried to make physical advances towards Su Mo, but she resisted. Just at that moment, Anna knocked on the door and entered the office. Seeing this, Director Cao immediately threw dirty water at Su Mo's head. Su Mo had no choice but to leave. The incident quickly spread throughout the company, and colleagues started discussing Su Mo and Director Cao's relationship. They even connected it to Su Mo's previous conversion to a regular employee, discussing her behind her back and intentionally distancing themselves from her, finding various excuses to refuse meals together.

Unable to bear it any longer, Su Mo approached Wang Juan and asked him to help her report Director Cao for sexual harassment. Wang Juan stated that they would need evidence and hoped that Su Mo could gather proof to clear her name. Facing difficulties in the department's optimization work, Director Cao openly stated that various departments had objections. Wang Juan, upon seeing this, asked Cong Rong to conduct an internal investigation in the investment department and specifically instructed Su Mo to complete it before leaving work. Su Mo worked overtime to conduct the investigation, and Director Cao made another move. He asked Su Mo to come to his office, and Su Mo hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Inside the office, Director Cao once again revealed his ugly side, speaking nonsensically. Su Mo played along with his words and suddenly changed the topic. She confronted Director Cao and revealed that she had recorded the entire conversation. This time, she had evidence. Zhang Dong also intervened and demanded that Director Cao resign voluntarily the next day. Wang Juan suggested involving the police, as they shouldn't let a similar incident to the one with Lao Yu repeat itself. Ultimately, the matter was handled properly.

Su Mo thanked Wang Juan but couldn't understand why Hao Chengyi appeared so timely. Wang Juan, with the phrase "pleasant cooperation," left Su Mo confused.
