Episode 22 recap: It's different now.
Once Squad Leader Fang learned about Qi Huo's identity, his attitude towards Qi Huo began to change. However, he felt uncomfortable addressing it directly with Qi Huo, so he could only show more concern for him. Squad Leader Fang had previously borrowed 5,000 from Qi Huo. Now that he knew Qi Huo's identity, he didn't want to owe him anymore, so he started thinking of ways to repay the money.
When no one was around, Squad Leader Fang approached Qin Shi Quan to borrow 3,000. Qin Shi Quan, knowing that Squad Leader Fang's money was tied up in investments, didn't ask many questions and lent him the money. Lin Lu Xiao accompanied Yang Zhen Gang to a recuperation place with beautiful scenery, finally allowing Lin Lu Xiao to relax and enjoy the scenery while discussing personal matters with Yang Zhen Gang.
Lin Lu Xiao and Yang Zhen Gang discussed their views on the firefighting profession. Lin Lu Xiao had always been determined to become a firefighter since he was young and never thought of pursuing any other career. But now that he had Nan Chu, he started contemplating this matter. Lin Lu Xiao wondered if he should change jobs to prevent Nan Chu from worrying about him and so that he wouldn't have to apologize to Nan Chu if he had an accident while rescuing people.
Nan Chu believed that Lin Lu Xiao was suited for frontline work and not other professions. It was because of Nan Chu's support that Lin Lu Xiao continued to be resolute in his decision to be a firefighter. Nan Chu returned to the dance studio to discuss the combination of dance and performance, but suddenly remembered to contact Lin Lu Xiao and sent him a message.
Lin Lu Xiao sent photos to Nan Chu, updating her about his situation. However, he heard someone downstairs asking for help and needing to rescue people trapped in the river, so he immediately went to assist. Lou Ming Ye received the alarm and hurriedly led the team to save the people. However, they encountered road construction on the way, which caused a slight delay.
Seeing that the firefighting team hadn't arrived yet, Lin Lu Xiao borrowed the equipment for river descent and rescued the most endangered person first before going to save the others. When Lin Lu Xiao was about to go back up to rescue more people, Lou Ming Ye and his team arrived. Lin Lu Xiao explained the situation and then returned. While Lou Ming Ye was rescuing people, Lin Lu Xiao asked Liu Ru Yi about the situation and learned that Squad Leader Fang's car got stuck in the mud, causing a delay. Fortunately, Qi Huo knew a small path that allowed them to arrive in time.
After returning, Lin Lu Xiao noticed that Yang Zhen Gang was particularly anxious. He was worried that Lou Ming Ye would be furious about today's situation, and the firefighters at the station wouldn't be able to handle it. Lin Lu Xiao reassured Yang Zhen Gang and advised him to rest well. He took him to soak in a hot spring and tried to keep him from getting too involved.
After Lou Ming Ye returned, he held a meeting to discuss the rescue operation, and he severely criticized Squad Leader Fang for the delay caused by his driving.
Squad Leader Fang wanted to explain his mistake, but Lou Ming Ye didn't give him a chance and immediately started scolding him. Liu Ru Yi, upon hearing Lou Ming Ye's words, became angry and couldn't help but contradict him. She pointed out that Lou Ming Ye was generalizing and failed to see Squad Leader Fang's other abilities. He was quick to dismiss Squad Leader Fang simply because of a small mistake.
Lou Ming Ye was not pleased with Liu Ru Yi's response. He asked Squad Leader Fang to explain the issues of the day and determine if he was right or wrong. Squad Leader Fang, already infuriated by Lou Ming Ye's scolding, didn't want to explain any further. He felt that Lou Ming Ye was a sycophant, trying to flatter Meng Guo Hong and elevate Qi Huo's position.
While scolding Lou Ming Ye, Squad Leader Fang revealed the relationship between Qi Huo and Meng Guo Hong. This made Qi Huo particularly angry because he had achieved his current position based on his own abilities and had no connection with Meng Guo Hong. He felt misunderstood by Squad Leader Fang.
After Jiang Ge intervened, Ma Zong politely terminated his contract with Lin Qi and asked him to speak well of him in front of Jiang Ge in the future. Jiang Ge wanted to sign Lin Qi and provide a platform for undiscovered artists like Nan Chu. He wrote a development plan for this platform.
Jiang Ge discussed the artist platform plan with Jiang Wen De, who felt that Jiang Ge was serious this time. He gave Jiang Ge ample time to explain the plan. After gaining Jiang Wen De's approval, Jiang Ge went to sign contracts with Lin Qi and Nan Chu's Dream Dance Studio, determined to make it happen.
After Qi Huo's identity was revealed, there were discussions at the station about him. Most people believed that Lou Ming Ye was competing for the position because he knew Qi Huo's identity. Qin Shi Quan, Yu Qi Lei, and others thought that even Lin Lu Xiao might not be aware of Qi Huo's identity, and they were certain that Lou Ming Ye didn't know. They believed that competition for positions was not an issue.
Qin Shi Quan believed that competition for positions could improve their skills, and today Qi Huo had indeed earned the position of the captain of the first vehicle through his abilities. Liu Ru Yi and others emphasized the personal relationships within the station and didn't prioritize discipline too much. However, Qin Shi Quan felt that without discipline, the station would fall into chaos, and he still supported Lou Ming Ye's efforts to maintain discipline.
As they couldn't reach a consensus, Yu Qi Lei tried to ease tensions and suggested that everyone go back and rest. While they were preparing to sleep, they noticed Qi Huo's presence and intentionally excluded him, affecting his mood even though he hadn't done anything wrong. This made him feel miserable.
