Xie Linhui’s mother goes to her ex-husband Xie Xiangdong’s place. She just wants to talk to him about Xie Linhui. Due to work issues, Xie Linhui and her mother have also had some unpleasant moments. While they are talking, Xiaotong is live streaming noisily upstairs. Old Xie wants his ex-wife to leave first, but no matter how he asks, she doesn’t go. Coincidentally, Xie Linhui also arrives at the house. She quickly messages Xiaotong, telling her not to come downstairs. To get her mother to leave, Xie Linhui cooperates with her father. Old Xie pretends to have a heart discomfort, asking Xie Linhui to take him to the hospital. After Xiaotong finishes her live stream, she hears her sister’s voice. Not paying attention to her phone, she happily runs downstairs and runs straight into her mother. Xiaotong’s secret of sneaking back to the country cannot be kept anymore. Her mother is very disappointed, not expecting that her 45-year-old daughter, who risked her life to give birth, would end up in such a way. Moreover, Xie Linhui, as the elder sister, even aids in the wrongdoing.
Jiang Yidi and her mentor Zhang Hongda go to meet Zhou Hang. Zhou Hang actually admires Zhang Hongda, especially his ideas on research and development, which align with his own thoughts. Additionally, given the current situation, relying solely on Yuanshen Technology’s medical line cannot achieve the market share goals set by the group. Therefore, Zhou Hang is finding ways. When Jiang Yidi and Zhang Hongda leave, they happen to encounter Wang Dongning. Peng Dahai sees them talking and curiously asks a few questions, only to realize that they are from Huake Yuanjian coming to discuss financing but have approached Zhou Hang instead of Peng Dahai. They should have come to Peng Dahai since he is now in the investment department. Wang Dongning feels a bit embarrassed because Peng Dahai lacks project sensitivity. He takes the initiative to approach Zhou Hang since Zhou was his former boss and he wants to understand more about Huake Yuanjian from him.

Zhou Hang is very smart and understands their intentions. He states that he will not interfere with investment matters. Today’s matters and materials will be organized by his assistant and sent to Peng Dahai. At the same time, he reminds Wang Dongning not to think about interpersonal relationships. In the workplace, it is taboo to discuss the current boss in front of the former boss. Leadership changes are arranged by the group, and as employees, the focus should be on improving one’s work abilities. Only in this way can one create value for work. Don’t think about unnecessary things. Zhou Hang arranges for his assistant to organize the materials and send them to Peng Dahai, while also copying a copy to the chairman. His assistants are all standing up for Zhou Hang, feeling that the group is targeting Zhou Hang, leaving the mess of Yuanshen Technology’s medical line to him and only giving him one year to achieve the target market share, which is impossible. Zhou Hang believes that there are always more solutions than difficulties, and that position changes are decided by the group’s shareholders’ meeting, not by one person’s decree. He hopes that what his assistant said today will not be mentioned again in the future.
Wu Yueting proactively arranges a meeting with Zhou Hang. When Zhou Hang and Wu Yueting meet, he first clearly states the terms of exchange: he will help Wu Yueting, but he hopes Wu Yueting will no longer target Xie Linhui. Wu Yueting feels that if their cooperation is only for Xie Linhui, the sacrifice would be too great. Zhou Hang clarifies that his intentions are not solely for Xie Linhui. He states that he and Wu Yueting now have a common opponent, so they can cooperate. After listening, Wu Yueting feels that Zhou Hang is thinking far ahead and is a suitable partner for cooperation.
