Xiao Mucheng and Yi Ran arrived at the smart hotel together. The entire way, Yi Ran nervously stared at her toes while walking. There was only one type of room available. Xiao Mucheng told Yi Ran to sleep on the bed while he took the sofa, but Yi Ran flatly refused. It wasn’t like they hadn’t shared a bed before, and besides, wasn’t the bed big enough for both of them?

That night, the two of them lay on opposite sides of the bed, staring at each other. Yi Ran suggested that since they couldn’t sleep, they should have a drink together. As the alcohol took effect, Yi Ran started crying, lamenting her failed interview—she was so frustrated she wanted to quit everything and leave. Xiao Mucheng wouldn’t let her go. No one was allowed to leave. Yi Ran didn’t understand—what exactly was he holding on to?

Xiao Mucheng answered, "Quan Hai is proof that my mother once existed. It holds my memories. If Quan Hai disappears, then the traces of my mother will disappear too. "Hearing this, Yi Ran deeply empathized with him and firmly declared that she would help him protect Quan Hai. Touched by her words, Xiao Mucheng leaned in and kissed her. After a passionate night, the next morning, Xiao Mucheng was startled awake by Yi Ran, who hadn’t slept a wink.

Xiao Mucheng had trouble sleeping in an unfamiliar environment and had spent the night grinding his teeth and snoring. When Leng Yishu heard about Teng Yue’s plan to acquire Quan Hai, she immediately sensed that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. Meanwhile, Xiao Mucheng asked Yi Ran how she felt about last night’s experience. Yi Ran felt awkward—was this really the right place to talk about such things? Flustered, she vaguely replied, "Good energy, but poor endurance.

"However, Xiao Mucheng completely misunderstood her, thinking she was critiquing the hotel experience. He began to complain about the hotel’s shortcomings, and only then did Yi Ran realize—he had been talking about the hotel all along! As they chatted, they overheard an elderly man grumbling about how this hotel was completely unsuitable for seniors. Leng Yishu, convinced that Lin Youjia was using public affairs for personal revenge, stormed over and gave him a beating.

Lin Youjia shrieked in protest, insisting that this was all his father’s doing! To make things worse, Lin Youjia’s father had also frozen his credit card. Yi Ran proposed an idea—to sell the same mattresses and pillows used at Quan Hai, turning the hotel into a showroom with an e-commerce strategy. Xiao Mucheng was thrilled by her creativity. Just then, Xiao Mucheng received word that Xiao Fu would be officially signing the contract with Teng Yue the next morning.

Without hesitation, he swapped seats with Yi Ran and moved to the front passenger seat to start drafting a proposal. The next day, before Xiao Fu could finalize the deal with Teng Yue, Xiao Mucheng stood up and fought for a chance. He laid out the disadvantages of smart hotels and presented a new project plan, asking for three months to prove himself. Although he managed to secure this opportunity, public opinion online remained negative.

Xiao Mucheng and Yi Ran sought out Lin Youjia, who confessed that his original assignment had been to sideline Quan Hai—but he had no idea why. Yi Ran hoped Lin Youjia could help, but he was powerless in this situation. However, when it came to PR crises, Bo Can was the real expert. With that, everyone dedicated themselves to saving Quan Hai. Three months later.

Xiao Mucheng had indeed achieved some results, but Lin Youjia’s father still wouldn’t give up—he was determined to take over Quan Hai. Although profits had improved, they hadn’t reached the level Xiao Mucheng had promised. He refused help from Lin Youjia and Leng Yishu, and Yi Ran didn’t know what to say either. But she believed—so long as there was no despair today, there would still be hope tomorrow. Xiao Fu felt that the outcome was inevitable.

Though he was reluctant, times had changed, and they needed to look forward. That evening, Xiao Fu attended Chairman Yu and his wife’s golden wedding anniversary banquet. It brought back memories of his time with his own wife—how they had built Quan Hai together, and how, before she passed away, she had entrusted him with taking care of Xiao Mucheng and protecting Quan Hai. After the banquet, Yi Ran approached Xiao Fu. She had something she wanted to say to him.
