Ode to Joy Season 5 episode 21 recap

Episode 21 recap: Qi Mu proposed to meet with He Min Hong.

Dai Mu contacted Ye's father and Mr. Zhang, subtly revealing that their son and Ye Zhen Zhen have a good relationship and are at the stage of discussing marriage. So Dai Mu wanted to use this relationship to have Ye's father provide guarantees for her and borrow money from Mr. Zhang. However, before Dai Mu could finish speaking, Dai Wei took the initiative to speak up, stating that he is indeed in a romantic relationship with Ye Zhen Zhen, but they don't have an engagement, so there is no in-law relationship between the Dai and Ye families.

In addition, Dai Wei hoped that Mr. Zhang and the others would carefully consider things before considering any so-called relative relationship. Upon hearing Dai Wei's attitude, Ye's father asked Mr. Zhang and the others to leave first, and also asked Dai Wei to leave, intending to have a private conversation with Dai Mu. However, Dai Wei wanted to stay, fearing that Dai Mu might say something inappropriate.

Under Zhu Zhe's reminder, Fang Zhi Heng arranged for Aunt Yang to have a video call with his father, in order to confirm whether he was dating or meeting a prospective partner. However, Fang's father behaved extremely impatiently and reminded Fang Zhi Heng not to meddle in his affairs, as love or not is his own freedom.

Aunt Yang sensed something was amiss and took the initiative to find Fang Zhi Heng to understand the situation. She confirmed that Fang's father had already found someone new and expressed indignation that she was being used as a pawn. Seizing the opportunity, Fang Zhi Heng questioned Aunt Yang about what happened when Fang's mother was taken to the emergency room, but he couldn't find any clues from her response.

Originally, Aunt Yang planned to accompany Fang Zhi Heng to meet his father, but considering that he's still young and can't handle the emotional turmoil, Fang Zhi Heng decided to meet his father alone. If things didn't work out, he would take care of himself and Mian Mian in the future. During breakfast, Zhu Zhe shared with her friends that she didn't know why Qi Mu proposed to meet with He Min Hong.

Although Yu Chu Hui didn't like He Min Hong at all, she was also worried that Qi Mu might cause trouble for her, so the three of them discussed and decided to give He Min Hong a warning, fulfilling their moral obligations. Yu Chu Hui volunteered to remove He Min Hong from the blacklist and told her about the specific situation and analysis, which frightened He Min Hong to the point that she felt uneasy even when going to work.

After learning about He Min Hong's situation, Boss Qian Ke Duo planned to let her leave work earlier in the future and be personally escorted to the subway station by a colleague. During their time together, the front desk staff had a very positive impression of Zhu Zhe and hoped that she would stay in the front desk department. The hotel general manager took the initiative to have a meeting with Zhu Zhe, listening to her thoughts and her responsible attitude, and was very satisfied.

From the conversation, Zhu Zhe guessed that the general manager was already dissatisfied with Director Wang's management abilities and that action was likely being taken. Dai Mu followed Dai Wei all the way and discovered that he was secretly meeting Ye's father, so she hurriedly sought out Mr. Zhang and his wife from Shengda Trading.

Because Dai Mu's factory encountered problems and had almost no cash flow, she urgently needed to purchase a batch of raw materials from Shengda Trading. Mr. Zhang stated that as long as she had a guarantor, he would agree to provide goods on credit to alleviate the urgent situation.

To achieve this, Dai Mu deliberately tried to establish a relationship with Ye's father in front of Mr. Zhang and his wife, hinting that her son and Ye Zhen Zhen have a good relationship and are at the stage of discussing marriage. She implied that the Dai and Ye families would eventually become in-laws. However, before Dai Mu could finish speaking, Dai Wei took the initiative to speak up and admitted that he is indeed in a romantic relationship with Ye Zhen Zhen, but they don't have an engagement, so there is no in-law relationship between the Dai and Ye families.

In addition, Dai Wei hoped that Mr. Zhang and the others would carefully consider things before considering any so-called relative relationship. Upon understanding the situation, Mr. Zhang and his wife bid farewell, and Ye's father asked Dai Wei to leave first, intending to have a private conversation with Dai Mu. However, Dai Wei wanted to stay, fearing that Dai Mu might say something inappropriate.

Although Ye's father agreed to help, he had two conditions: first, the person seeking help must have used up all their resources and reached a desperate situation, and second, the person's company must have been restructured and infused with new funds to generate vitality. However, Ye's father believed that Dai Mu hadn't used up all her resources. He found evidence that she still owned several commercial properties and several properties, as well as significant amounts of savings and investment funds in her personal accounts. He believed that she was far from being in a desperate situation.

With all the evidence in front of her, Dai Mu still tried to defend herself. Ye's father saw through Dai Mu's true colors, warned her to behave and not harass Ye Zhen Zhen anymore. Dai Mu had nothing to say in response and left in anger. Ye's father still had a favorable impression of Dai Wei and reminded him to seek help from Ye Zhen Zhen's mother if he encountered any problems.

Because Zhu Zhe cared for her subordinates and gained a good reputation over time, her popularity grew, and she gained support from her female colleagues at the front desk. On the other hand, the male colleague was a spy sent by Director Wang and often reported to him. This scene was observed by the female colleagues. Zhu Zhe checked the cleaning supplies in the logistics department, took a few photos, and asked her sisters in the group to help check the ingredients. After work, she went to find her younger brother, Zhu Minjie, and invited him to dinner.

Zhu Minjie complained about his job, saying that he worked hard every day but didn't earn much money. However, Zhu Zhe told him that since he had chosen to come to Shanghai, complaining alone wouldn't help. He needed to adjust his mindset and promised not to burden their parents with their retirement expenses. Hearing Zhu Zhe's words, Zhu Minjie finally felt relieved, and Zhu Zhe, as his sister, genuinely cared about him from the bottom of her heart.
