Jiang Yidi arrives at work for a company meeting, and Mike sees her and proactively apologizes. Jiang Yidi values her friendships, and precisely because of this, she decides not to collaborate with Mike; they will remain good friends instead. During the meeting, Tang Ruo delivers a work report, demonstrating a deep understanding of her own project and conducting thorough research and analysis on potential clients, which Yu Shi is very satisfied with. However, Mike and Jiang Yidi were unprepared, and Tang Ruo not only deliberately took over Jiang Yidi’s project but also revealed that Jiang Yidi was preparing her own fund. Tang Ruo is being manipulative, intentionally disclosing this information to Yu Shi since Yu Shi was the only one present in the meeting, and she herself was unaware.
Yu Shi calls Jiang Yidi into his office, hoping she can give him an answer. Jiang Yidi begins by explaining from a professional perspective, believing that Yu Xiang Investment might miss out on some good projects because they do not participate in certain angel rounds, despite many startups being excellent. Her purpose in creating this fund is to support such companies, and she has never approached Yu Xiang Investment’s prospective clients, so she has a clear conscience. Yu Shi then calls Tang Ruo in, wanting to know how Tang Ruo found out that Jiang Yidi was working on the fund. Tang Ruo claims that she was also questioned about it and even presents Jiang Yidi’s project proposal, specifically urging Yu Shi to look further into the project cases. Yu Shi discovers that Jiang Yidi is being dishonest; the PPT includes projects that were not originally hers but belonged to the company. Yu Shi becomes furious, and Jiang Yidi is at a loss for words, but even so, she does not want to betray them. She tells Yu Shi that the PPT was not made by her and says nothing else.
In the end, Yu Shi fires Jiang Yidi. As Jiang Yidi walks out of the company building, Mike chases after her to apologize, but Jiang Yidi no longer cares. She reminds Mike to maintain professionalism in the company. Xie Linhui returns to Zhongshang Langchao, and Jingjing’s attitude toward Lv Jian has changed significantly.
