Episode 21 recap: Zhuang Guo Dong returned home disappointed.
Fang Xie Wen hoped that his mother would speak Mandarin in front of Huang Yi Mei, thinking that Huang Yi Mei could not understand the dialect. Fang's mother criticized Huang Yi Mei for not being able to do household chores, but Fang Xie Wen worked hard at his job and still had to do chores when he got home, feeling that Huang Yi Mei was not worthy of him.
Huang Zhen Hua called Su Geng Sheng to the gym to exercise, and Su Geng Sheng suspected that Huang Zhen Hua had something to say. After being pressed, he learned that Huang Zhen Hua had given Zhuang Guo Dong the address of Fang Xie Wen's home. Huang Zhen Hua still believed that Huang Yi Mei and Zhuang Guo Dong were the most suitable match, and did not think highly of Fang Xie Wen, but was also concerned that Zhuang Guo Dong's appearance would disrupt his sister's wedding.
Su Geng Sheng understood Huang Yi Mei's personality and believed that what she had decided could not be changed. Fang Xie Wen gave the red envelope to his mother, asking her to give it to Huang Yi Mei. The mother was somewhat reluctant, but Fang Xie Wen promised that when his company made money, he would buy his mother a large house to live in. The mother outwardly refused but was secretly very happy.
Huang Yi Mei told Fang Xie Wen that the phone call was from her ex-boyfriend Zhuang Guo Dong. She had thought the past would not affect their relationship, and they had broken up many years ago, so she hadn't mentioned it. But now that Zhuang Guo Dong was on his way, she felt she should tell Fang Xie Wen.
When Zhuang Guo Dong arrived in Yanji, he contacted Huang Yi Mei, and she sent him the hotel address. Huang Yi Mei held Fang Xie Wen's hand and introduced him to Zhuang Guo Dong, who then left sadly after wishing them well.
Su Geng Sheng received a call from Huang Yi Mei, learning that Zhuang Guo Dong had returned home disappointed. He criticized Huang Yi Mei for letting Fang Xie Wen meet Zhuang Guo Dong, as Fang Xie Wen was already insecure, and seeing Zhuang Guo Dong had made him even more so. Huang Yi Mei realized the seriousness of the situation but could not find a way to remedy it.
After returning to Shanghai, Fang Xie Wen focused on product development and finally gained the recognition of a client.
Fang Xie Wen contacted Zhuang Guo Dong immediately, wanting to flaunt in front of him. Coincidentally, Zhuang Guo Dong was about to leave when he received the call, so he went to meet Fang Xie Wen at the Jinjiang Hotel. Fang Xie Wen proactively offered him wedding sweets, not caring about Huang Yi Mei's past. Now that Huang Yi Mei had chosen him, he felt he had no competitors.
Zhuang Guo Dong felt distressed, so he intentionally ordered a large variety of Huang Yi Mei's favorite foods. Huang Yi Mei was used to enjoying good food, and her acceptance of less was out of tolerance, not a lack of standards. As long as Huang Yi Mei was happy, that was enough for him.
Dish after dish was brought out, and Fang Xie Wen was amazed by the exquisite presentation, which was beyond his imagination. Zhuang Guo Dong had the server pack up the food, then left the hotel with the wedding sweets. Fang Xie Wen angrily threw the food into the trash, but then took it back, not wanting to waste it. However, he did not notice that the wedding sweets were in the nearby trash.
Huang Yi Mei was very satisfied to see the delicious dishes and thanked Fang Xie Wen for being so generous. Seeing Huang Yi Mei enjoying the food so much made Fang Xie Wen feel even more resentful, and he vowed to take her to luxury hotels more often.
Su Geng Sheng was appointed as a manager by the head office, and Tina celebrated her promotion. Su Geng Sheng suddenly felt that she had hit the jackpot, and the two reminisced about their early days in the industry. Tina believed that Su Geng Sheng was fully capable of handling the job.
In the evening, Huang Zhen Hua celebrated Su Geng Sheng's promotion, and Su Geng Sheng worried that she would be too busy to exercise with him.
In a meeting at the Qingdan company, Su Geng Sheng inquired about the progress of the project, but the manager, Han Ying, had no idea. Instead, it was the assistant, Wang Tianruo, who provided the updates. Su Geng Sheng directly promoted Wang Tianruo to be the new manager and had Han Ying's subordinates transferred to Wang Tianruo's team.
