Ode to Joy Season 5 episode 12 recap

Episode 12 recap: Director Wang is wary of Zhu Zhe's strong abilities.

Ma Xiangdong wanted to speak well of his teacher and believed that he was straightforward and belonged to the more traditional and upright type of person. However, Yu Chu Hui did not think so. Through their conversation, Yu Chu Hui even discovered that Ma Xiangdong was actually a true fool who came from a wealthy family. Ma Xiangdong had personally bought front-row tickets for his teacher, but the teacher turned around and gave them to Director Jin, who in turn presented them to Yu Chu Hui.

Even though the teacher may have intended to express an apology to Yu Chu Hui in this way, Yu Chu Hui felt that this behavior was more like borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, lacking sincerity, and instead making Ma Xiangdong the scapegoat. Ma Xiangdong had nothing to say in response, but it did bring him closer to Yu Chu Hui, and their impressions of each other improved a lot.

Director Wang called Zhu Zhe and informed her that he had submitted her application for interdepartmental training to the CEO. He instructed her to be fully prepared and ensure that everything went smoothly. Zhu Zhe guessed that something big must be happening; otherwise, Director Wang wouldn't be so anxious. As expected, Director Wang revealed that the CEO had already spoken with other department managers and was not very satisfied with them. Therefore, he was relying on Zhu Zhe.

The implicit meaning was that he had decided to sacrifice some pawns to protect the car. Zhu Zhe discussed this matter with Yu Chu Hui. As a woman, especially a woman in the workplace, it was difficult for her to balance family and career. But often, the workplace was cruel to them. Once they couldn't break through in their work, they would inevitably be eliminated. Ma Xiangdong felt that he was being inappropriate by staying by their side, so he added Yu Chu Hui as a friend and left.

Zhu Zhe was curious about the relationship between the two. Yu Chu Hui smiled and said that Ma Xiangdong was a simple-minded person, but she had already enlightened him. The three of them finished listening to the concert and started heading back. In the garage, they ran into Fang Zhi Heng, who had a radiant smile on his face. They learned that she had skillfully dealt with investors and attracted many buyers. Even if they didn't reach a cooperation agreement, they could at least retain several hundred high-quality buyers to increase sales.

Earlier, Fang Zhi Heng had asked Dai Wei to return something that Li Qi Xing had sent. Although Dai Wei had agreed, after he met Li Qi Xing, he felt that both of them were facing family issues and could empathize with each other, so he refused to help Fang Zhi Heng again.

After receiving the new package, Fang Zhi Heng conveyed Dai Wei's message, believing that she would handle her own affairs well. Auntie Yang told Fang Zhi Heng that her father had overcome the pain of losing his wife and that life had returned to normal. Fang Zhi Heng was grateful for Auntie Yang's wholehearted efforts, as he could focus on his work without being distracted.

He Min Hong urgently wanted to return to Room 2202 and sent multiple messages in the group, but no one paid attention to her. Zhu Zhe and Ye Zhen Zhen gradually left the group, so the new group only had He Min Hong, Fang Zhi Heng, and Yu Chu Hui remaining. Yu Chu Hui decisively rejected He Min Hong, which made her very angry.

The hotel manager held a meeting to summarize the reception work and praised Zhu Zhe for training newcomers to handle room arrangements. However, he criticized the front desk work and expressed disappointment with it. Director Wang attempted to shift the blame onto Huang Yu Xuan, who had recently taken over, but Zhu Zhe refused to cooperate, and Huang Yu Xuan also declined. The CEO, being experienced and not easily fooled, instructed Zhu Zhe to be in charge of training the front desk team.

After the meeting, the CEO asked Director Wang to stay behind for a conversation. Huang Yu Xuan speculated on the CEO's intentions, and Zhu Zhe reminded her to be aware of the crisis. Although there was currently no one who could replace Huang Yu Xuan at the hotel, the headquarters had a substantial reserve of talent. As long as the hotel made a request, there would certainly be a large number of people waiting to be assigned. Huang Yu Xuan became worried and proposed an immediate discussion with Zhu Zhe about the training plan.

Mrs. He advised He Min Hong to get married early and find a stable administrative job, but He Min Hong refused. Not long after, He Min Hong received a call from the boss of a self-media studio who was impressed by her abilities, and she obtained a new job. He Min Hong once again sent a long message to the group demanding to move back to Room 2202, but Zhu Zhe and others decided to block her.

Zhu Min Jie sent a message saying that he had found three jobs and asked for Zhu Zhe's advice. Zhu Zhe suggested that he pay attention to the salary, whether he could learn new things, and whether he could apply the knowledge he learned in college. He also advised him to consider his own positioning. Huang Yu Xuan agreed with Zhu Zhe's suggestions. Fang Zhi Heng received a notification that she had to go on a business trip and wanted to entrust her younger sister Mian Mian to Zhu Zhe's care. However, Zhu Zhe was also going on a business trip, so she entrusted Mian Mian to Ye Zhen Zhen.

Ye Zhen Zhen gladly agreed, but she subsequently received a message from Dai Wei's mother.
