Episode 23 recap: Cao Mu is pushing for the management to acquire the company.
Min Hui tells Xin Qi about what happened five years ago when she started working at Guan Chao. She thought that Cheng Qi Rang had treated her well because he valued her abilities. However, one day Cheng Qi Rang brought Min Hui into his office with inappropriate intentions, and she slapped him.
When Min Hui left the office, she coincidentally ran into Director Lin, who provided false testimony. As a result, everyone believed that Min Hui had tried to seduce Cheng Qi Rang but failed. Xin Qi feels guilty because she wasn't there for Min Hui during that time. Min Hui went to the hospital to see Cheng Qi Rang, who said that since he brought her there, she should know what happened.
Xin Qi admitted that she knew and regretted not hitting him a few times. Cheng Qi Rang said he would sue Min Hui, but he didn't know how many years she would be sentenced to. Min Hui also arrived and saw Ha Di waiting at the door. She felt that she should handle this matter herself.
Cheng Qi Rang asked Xin Qi if she ever suspected that Min Hui was only with him for his money. Xin Qi admitted that she had suspicions and had hurt Min Hui because of it. She regretted it and said that as long as she was alive, no one could harm Min Hui, not even herself.
Xin Qi suggested that if Cheng Qi Rang wanted to sue Min Hui, they should also bring up the sexual harassment incident from five years ago. However, they were unsure how the Zheng family would react. Min Hui overheard the conversation from outside and left without going in.
Cao Mu was worried about the company's situation and mentioned that she joined Bai An right after graduating, and Bai An was different to her. Chen Jia Jun told her she didn't need to work so hard and said he could support her. Cao Mu acknowledged his feelings but stated that he wasn't her husband, and she didn't need him to support her. Suddenly, Cao Mu had an idea that she didn't need to wait for someone else to acquire Bai An; she could do it herself.
Cao Mu hurriedly made preparations. Min Hui noticed the tree in Xin Qi's house and Xin Qi told her that she shouldn't live in the past but focus on the future. Min Hui agreed and took out a bracelet, asking Xin Qi if she would be willing to put it on her again.
Xin Qi put the bracelet on Min Hui, and they kissed. Min Hui and Xin Qi slept together, and Min Hui felt that they should get up, but Xin Qi wanted to sleep a little longer.
Quan Quan watched them by the bed, and Min Hui and Xin Qi wanted to explain to Quan Quan. Quan Quan asked them why they didn't bring him along when they slept and why they left him with their aunt. During breakfast, Xin Qi asked Min Hui to pack her things and move in with her. However, Min Hui was unwilling and believed that couples should have their own space.
Cao Mu called Min Hui and He Zong to discuss pushing for the management to acquire the company. Min Hui felt that she might not be able to contribute that much money, but Cao Mu suggested that as a technical professional, she could invest her technical expertise and contribute less money. Min Hui agreed, and He Zong said he would join if Cao Mu could secure enough funding from venture capitalists. Cao Mu stated that if they succeeded, her company wouldn't support people like Ding Yi Feng, and she wanted He Zong to think it through.
Xin Di mentioned that they only had three hundred million on their books, which was not enough to acquire Bai An. Ha Di returned and said that the bank agreed to loan two hundred million, but they would need to use Bluebird's shares as collateral. Xin Di wondered if the board would agree, but Xin Qi stated that she believed in Bai An's future, not just for Min Hui. Xin Di agreed to help. Quan Quan fell asleep on Xin Qi and Min Hui's bed and didn't want to go back, insisting on sleeping with them. Xin Qi finally managed to bring Quan Quan back to his own room and quickly returned.
Ding Yi Feng noticed that Min Hui and Xin Qi were acting strangely, but He Zong dismissed it. Zhou Ru Ji tried to pursue Yao Zi Zhu but had no success. He couldn't make any progress, which made Yao Zi Zhu unhappy.
