Yang Weixi stormed into Wu Yueting’s company with her team, wrecking his office. Everyone in the company was stunned. Jiang Yidi, stuck in traffic, received the news from a colleague. She had some collaborative projects in hand, now on the brink of collapse due to the situation with Wu Yueting.
Xie Linhui, on vacation, met up with two of her close friends. One of them was heavily pregnant and about to give birth. As a soon-to-be aunt, Xie Linhui and her other friend decided to go shopping for baby products.
When Xie Linhui heard about Yang Weixi’s chaos at the company, she immediately understood the strategy. Yang Weixi, a sharp woman, wanted to escalate the situation, knowing it would give her an edge in the upcoming negotiations. Xie Linhui speculated that Yang Weixi must have some incriminating evidence against Wu Yueting—likely involving illegal activities. She advised her colleagues at the scene to stay calm and avoid direct confrontation.
The news about Wu Yueting’s marital scandal was just the beginning. Xie Linhui’s true goal was to uncover the truth behind the illegal operations Wu Yueting was allegedly involved in.
Xie Linhui’s mother found out about her being laid off and reached out to Zhou Hang. Xie Linhui, somewhat relieved, thought it was better this way, as she hadn’t yet figured out how to break the news to her mother. Zhou Hang believed that Xie Linhui’s rigid personality and obsessive dedication to content didn’t align with the magazine’s evolving direction, making her a likely candidate for optimization.
However, Xie Linhui disagreed. She wasn’t opposed to stepping down if someone competent could replace her. But she firmly believed Bai Lu, who rose through schemes and manipulation, was unfit to become the editor-in-chief of Zhongshang Wave.
Xie Linhui’s vacation was short-lived as she quickly returned to work. Coincidentally, she arrived just as President Li was holding a meeting. President Li struggled to say anything meaningful, so Xie Linhui stepped in with some official statements, urging everyone to work hard and not trouble the president. Taking the hint, President Li left the meeting, understanding that the team had plenty on their plate.
Xie Linhui then led a meeting with her colleagues.
Rumors were swirling that Wu Yueting might leave Yuxiang Investment. Deputy Ding, the second-in-command, sought to seize the opportunity to rise to power. Ding arranged for someone to contact Zhongshang Wave, aiming to publish news severing ties between Wu Yueting and the magazine.
Xie Linhui caught wind of this plan and decided to turn the tables. Through an in-depth interview, she aimed to dig deeper into the projects handled by Wu Yueting, looking for any signs of misconduct.
Deputy Ding’s recent moves didn’t go unnoticed by the staff, who were certain someone was about to take the fall. As expected, it was Jiang Yidi, previously favored by Wu Yueting. Deputy Ding reassigned Jiang Yidi to handle matters with Zhongshang Wave, removing her from the Huake Vision project.
Jiang Yidi, aware of Ding’s intentions, worked hard to retain the client, leaving no room for Ding to counter. Meanwhile, the Huake Vision project was progressing smoothly, requiring accelerated efforts for Series B funding, which put additional pressure on Jiang Yidi.
One of Xie Linhui’s friends, a director of an entertainment program, encountered a last-minute issue when a guest couldn’t make it to the set. Desperate, they asked Xie Linhui to step in. Xie Linhui, who had always disliked such occasions—especially variety shows—tried to decline. However, unable to refuse, she reluctantly agreed to help.
