Episode 27 recap: Chen Wan Zhen has been growing quickly in the company.
After Chen Wan Zhen reported her work to the boss, Zhou Yao chatted with her and reminisced about when they first started working at the same company right after graduating from university. At that time, Chen Wan Zhen's professional abilities were clearly superior to Zhou Yao's, which Zhou Yao was well aware of. So when he heard that Chen Wan Zhen was pregnant and planned to resign, he happily gave her a handbag as a parting gift.
Nearly ten years have passed, and the two are now working at the same company again. Zhou Yao greatly admires Chen Wan Zhen's drive and determination. In the financial industry, Chen Wan Zhen has exceptional talent - she can easily grasp even the most complex professional issues, and combined with her passion and focus, she has quickly become an expert in her field.
After Xu Meng An's father had a stroke, the mother, who had previously only indulged herself, began to struggle with the rehabilitation training. When the father accidentally fell during training, he became angry and refused to eat. This caused Xu Meng An's mother to start breaking down, worried about her future. Knowing her father cares most about her mother, Xu Meng An used reverse psychology, asking if he planned to just lie in bed and refuse to eat. Hearing his daughter was prepared to make funeral arrangements, the father quickly sat up in bed and demanded food.
When Chen Wan Zhen chatted with her close friends, they all expressed great concern for her personal life, asking if there were any outstanding men around her. However, Chen Wan Zhen was not focused on her personal matters. Although Yu Chen is handsome and charming, they have never crossed any inappropriate boundaries. And although Yu Hai wanted to pursue her, she no longer wishes to rekindle an old flame.
Since Huang Si Si joined the company, the boss has strongly supported her proposals. Whenever Huang Si Si brings up a new project, the boss fully endorses it. Xu Meng An had previously pitched similar ideas to the boss, but they were never considered. However, now the boss claims that since Huang Si Si has raised the proposal again, it must be worthwhile, and has started vigorously implementing it.
Xu Meng An discussed strategies with the company's trusted confidants. A friend in the HR department suggested that now would be the best time to give Huang Si Si more autonomy, as she is a new manager. They agreed that this "three-pronged approach" (empowering Huang Si Si, seeing how she performs, and letting the company's support shift towards her) is necessary. Xu Meng An is well aware that once the autonomy is granted, the company's allegiance will start to tilt towards Huang Si Si, and those "fair-weather friends" will quickly realign themselves.
At this point, not granting the autonomy is also not an option, as it may breed resentment in Huang Si Si. When Li Jing heard that her brother's father-in-law had started rehabilitation training, she personally went to check on him, providing nourishing Chinese herbal medicines and even buying him an assisted walking device, similar to a treadmill. After adjusting all the controls, Li Jing even demonstrated how to use it, though she nearly couldn't keep up with the fast setting. After Xu Meng An granted the autonomy, he also had more time to frequently visit his aging father at home.
The older sister has been very caring towards their family, even cooking traditional Chinese medicines to help the weaning process for Xu Meng Xin. Li Jing told Xu Meng Xin's mother that weaning should not be abrupt, but rather a gradual process, to avoid blockages in the milk ducts.
