Episode 28 recap: Lu Zhi Fei helped with the lease renewal.
When Wang Jie arrived and saw everyone there, she felt it was quite a coincidence. Pei Zhi Jie also mentioned that he was planning to go see Wang Jie in the next couple of days, and Wang Jie directly asked if Pei Zhi Jie wanted to renew the lease. Pei Zhi Jie confirmed that he was also there for that reason and mentioned that he knew the lease had already expired.
Pei Zhi Jie acknowledged that the housing prices have risen and everyone is facing difficulties. They mentioned that the comedy business hasn't been good this year, and they also have children to take care of. Lu Zhi Fei also chimed in, saying that Wang Jie is not someone who only cares about money. Wang Jie values relationships and has been their neighbor for many years, so she wouldn't raise the rent for them.
Before Wang Jie could speak, Xu Xiaoqian added that Wang Jie is a straightforward person and wouldn't raise the rent on them. Wang Jie realized they were trying to seal their own mouths with their words and stated that she wouldn't raise the rent, but there is a condition: she won't continue renting to them once the lease expires. After Wang Jie left, everyone started discussing the situation. Pei Zhi Jie was also worried because they were selling tickets these days, and everyone agreed that since the contract hasn't expired yet, Wang Jie wouldn't force them to leave.
If Wang Jie doesn't continue renting after the lease expires, they will need to think of a solution. Wang Bo suggested that he could approach Wang Jie and kowtow to her until she agrees. Pei Zhi Jie felt that it would be disrespectful to Wang Jie and didn't want to force her. They needed to consider the situation carefully. Xu Xiaoqian disagreed with Pei Zhi Jie's approach.
Xu Xiaoqian wanted Pei Zhi Jie to find out why Wang Jie wouldn't rent them the house. Xu Xiaoqian believed that it would be appropriate for Lu Zhi Fei to handle this matter since Lu Zhi Fei has a good relationship with Wang Jie. Lu Zhi Fei's involvement was necessary.
When Lu Zhi Fei returned, everyone was eager to know the reason. Lu Zhi Fei took the opportunity to tease them. Pei Zhi Jie couldn't stand watching Lu Zhi Fei play along so smoothly.
It turned out that Wang Jie's son didn't get into graduate school and wanted to come back to open a restaurant, and Wang Jie couldn't do anything about it.
Lu Zhi Fei mentioned that there might still be room for reconciliation in this matter. Lu Zhi Fei told Pei Zhi Jie that Wang Jie said she would talk to her son if Lu Zhi Fei accompanied her to dance in the square. Lu Zhi Fei took the opportunity to propose conditions for his own benefit, and Pei Zhi Jie said they would try their best to meet Lu Zhi Fei's requests as long as it didn't delay their performances.
Wang Jie said she would discuss the rent issue with her son. Everyone treated Lu Zhi Fei like a national treasure and served him good food and drinks. When they heard that they had to wait for ten days or half a month, they felt a bit disappointed. Lu Zhi Fei took the opportunity to ask Pei Zhi Jie to reimburse him for the money he spent on getting his hair done. Xu Xiaoqian thought Lu Zhi Fei was a bit excessive and followed him to observe.
Xu Xiaoqian went back and told everyone that Lu Zhi Fei didn't dance with Wang Jie in the square. Xu Xiaoqian wanted to teach Lu Zhi Fei a lesson because he deceived everyone so badly. When Lu Zhi Fei came back, he sensed that everyone was acting strange, but he found their words quite enlightening. Xu Xiaoqian asked Lu Zhi Fei to confess voluntarily, but Lu Zhi Fei insisted that he didn't dance with Wang Jie.
Pei Zhi Jie happened to arrive, and Lu Zhi Fei complained to him. No one believed what Lu Zhi Fei said. Everyone thought Lu Zhi Fei should be penalized by the company. Pei Zhi Jie mentioned that there was no other place they could rent, and Lu Zhi Fei interjected, saying that Wang Jie was willing to rent the place to them. No one believed it. At that moment, Wang Jie arrived and said her son had changed his mind, and they could continue renting the place.
Lu Zhi Fei took the initiative to tell everyone that he couldn't bear to part with the stir-fried lamb with scallions, so he would inform them later. Upon hearing this, everyone clenched their fists, wanting to beat up Lu Zhi Fei.
