Episode 9 recap: Min Hui got drunk and kissed Xin Qi.

Zhou Ru Ji came to Min Hui's house to cook for them, which made Xin Qi very frustrated. Zhou Ru Ji and Xin Qi didn't like each other and exchanged sarcastic remarks. After Zhou Ru Ji left, Xin Qi said he wanted to talk to Min Hui about who he wanted to date. Xin Qi didn't care about himself, but he didn't want people to be brought home casually. Min Hui explained that she and Zhou Ru Ji had been good friends for many years, and Zhou Ru Ji also cared for Xin Qi. Whether he accepted it or not, it was already a fact.

Xin Qi wanted to say something, and Quan Quan came over and asked if he wanted to sleep with them. Xin Qi said he would go back to sleep. Quan Quan told Min Hui that he wanted to sleep with both of them, but Min Hui didn't agree. Min Hui met Cao Mu and asked him what was wrong with his sighing earlier. Cao Mu said he had been saying the wrong things lately. Min Hui was very surprised that Cao Mu felt guilty about saying the wrong things.

General He didn't want Min Hui to continue developing the artificial intelligence heart modeling software. Cao Mu was angry and said that General He had promised it before. It was just a small matter, and he agreed to it, but he didn't specify when Min Hui should start and let her work on the non-invasive liposuction machine project first. Min Hui said that project belonged to Ding Yi Feng, but General He said Ding Yi Feng had other important projects to work on.

Min Hui said there couldn't be any projects in the company that she didn't know about. General He mentioned the artificial heart modeling software, which had high profits but a long development cycle. The non-invasive liposuction machine was the most profitable project. General He said that either Min Hui should make money for the company or she should go elsewhere to raise investments. In any case, the company wouldn't provide the funds.

Cao Mu thought that they should start working on the non-invasive liposuction machine project. Min Hui knew that even if they did, Mr. He wouldn't invest the money. They would still have to seek investment elsewhere. Cao Mu suggested approaching Xin Qi, and although Min Hui hesitated a bit, she was intrigued.

Ha Di informed Xin Qi that their recent investment in Jiaren Hospital would prevent them from making any other major investments within the next six months if they partnered with Guanchao. Xin Qi assured him that he understood and asked Ha Di to arrange a meeting with Cheng Qi Rang to discuss the details. Min Hui messaged Xin Qi, asking if he would come home for dinner tonight. Xin Qi found it a bit strange.

When Xin Qi returned home, Min Hui had already prepared dinner. Xin Qi asked her if she had poisoned the food, and Min Hui took a bite first to assure him that it was safe. Xin Qi asked if there was something she wanted from him, and Min Hui explained the situation. Xin Qi mentioned that if she had brought it up earlier, he would have considered it, but now he was already committed to partnering with Guanchao.

Min Hui believed that they shouldn't collaborate with someone like Cheng Qi Rang and that artificial intelligence heart modeling software was more cutting-edge. Xin Qi stated that Guanchao's cancer screening project had a development cycle of only a year and a half, and he also had a responsibility to the other shareholders. Min Hui said she could shorten the development cycle to two years and asked Xin Qi to give her two weeks to make a decision. Xin Qi agreed.

Min Hui worked hard for a day and showed Xin Qi her progress, saying that if she could complete the software's architectural design and implementation path within two weeks and reduce the development cycle to two years, Xin Qi mentioned that he had collected some information over the years but hadn't seen it from her side. Min Hui quickly asked Xin Qi to show her the information.

Min Hui worked diligently for two weeks and finally completed everything. Cao Mu suggested they go to a bar together to relax, and they both had quite a few drinks. Cao Mu called Zhou Ru Ji to have him take Min Hui home, and coincidentally, they ran into Xin Qi downstairs. Xin Qi helped Min Hui walk, and Zhou Ru Ji mentioned that Min Hui had a stomachache and gave her some medicine before going to sleep.

Min Hui had a stomachache, and Xin Qi brought her some medicine. Min Hui woke up in a daze, saw Xin Qi in front of her, and kissed him. Xin Qi was taken aback.
