Episode 24 recap: New identity cards.
Due to the previous incident, the two teams led by Lei Da Gang and another team had poor coordination and kept blaming each other, resulting in their failure in the assessment. They almost got into a fight on the spot, which angered all the leaders. Lou Ming Ye gathered everyone and explained the conflict in the assessment. Liu Ru Yi, however, couldn't contain her anger and directly confronted Lou Ming Ye.
Liu Ru Yi stated that the deteriorating relationships among the station members were entirely the result of Lou Ming Ye implementing a competitive mechanism. She believed that Lou Ming Ye was not qualified to be the station leader. Liu Ru Yi refused to comply with Lou Ming Ye's orders and left without participating in the training.
The conflicts between Shao Yi Jiu and Qin Shi Quan also intensified, and they finally couldn't help but argue with each other. Shao Yi Jiu blamed Qin Shi Quan for changing and forgetting that Lin Lu Xiao had saved them. He accused Qin Shi Quan of becoming more practical after becoming Lou Ming Ye's disciple.
Qin Shi Quan argued that he was learning techniques from Lou Ming Ye, and Lou Ming Ye was his teacher. However, this didn't affect his relationship with Lin Lu Xiao as master and disciple. Shao Yi Jiu couldn't understand Qin Shi Quan's explanation, and both of them held their own opinions and refused to accept each other's views, resulting in a heated argument.
Liu Ru Yi couldn't bear her anger towards Lou Ming Ye and suddenly had difficulty breathing. Everyone forced her to go and see Xia Wan for an examination. Xia Wan reminded Liu Ru Yi and listened to her complaints. She made Liu Ru Yi understand that if she wanted others to believe in her, she had to prove herself.
After Xia Wan finished speaking, she gave Liu Ru Yi a water bottle that looked exactly like hers, which made Liu Ru Yi extremely happy. Nan Chu was still on vacation, spending time rehearsing with the Dream Dance Society and going on dates with Lin Lu Xiao. Their days were peaceful and happy.
Yang Zhen Gang reviewed the situation of the He Ping Station's assessment and felt that the station was in chaos. However, he couldn't return to the station himself, so he wanted Lin Lu Xiao to go back and take over his position. Yang Zhen Gang asked Lin Lu Xiao to apply to return to the station and take on the role of an instructor. Lin Lu Xiao hesitated and didn't know how to decide, so he went to discuss it with Nan Chu.
When Nan Chu was with Lin Lu Xiao, she chose to support all of Lin Lu Xiao's decisions. Although she didn't want Lin Lu Xiao to go back to the frontlines, she knew she had to support him. Nan Chu expressed her support to Lin Lu Xiao, but deep down, she didn't want him to go back. The dangerous situation they encountered during the last firefighting incident frightened her, and she feared for Lin Lu Xiao's safety.
Yang Zhen Gang started his new position and, after reporting in, specifically went with Lin Lu Xiao to find Meng Guo Hong to request Lin Lu Xiao to return as an instructor.
Lin Lu Xiao met with Meng Guo Hong and found it difficult to speak up. After being pressured by Meng Guo Hong, he had no choice but to reveal the truth. Lin Lu Xiao made a promise to Meng Guo Hong, who then agreed to let him return to He Ping Station. However, Meng Guo Hong requested that Lin Lu Xiao address Lou Ming Ye's report regarding Liu Ru Yi upon his return and help unify the station.
Lou Ming Ye held a meeting and announced the strengthening of daily training. He also canceled everyone's vacations and ordered the command center to have emergency activities, prompting an early dispatch for He Ping Station to enhance their operational capabilities. After Lou Ming Ye announced the task, Lin Lu Xiao returned, which brought great joy to Liu Ru Yi and the others, thinking their savior had come back.
During the meal, Liu Ru Yi and the others anxiously called for Lin Lu Xiao to join their table, hoping to provoke Lou Ming Ye and make him leave in anger. Qin Shi Quan wanted to sit with Lin Lu Xiao and catch up, but Shao Yi Jiu deliberately sat down before him, denying Qin Shi Quan the opportunity.
Liu Ru Yi and Shao Yi Jiu thought that Lin Lu Xiao's return meant he was on their side. However, as soon as Lin Lu Xiao sat down, he criticized Liu Ru Yi first. Lin Lu Xiao mentioned that he had Liu Ru Yi's report in his hands and advised her to pay attention to her work attitude. He made it clear that if Liu Ru Yi wanted to continue as the assistant station leader, she should focus on her duties.
After criticizing Liu Ru Yi, Lin Lu Xiao turned his attention to Shao Yi Jiu, pointing out his insufficient operational capabilities and blaming him for not training hard enough. Yu Qi Lei had saved up his vacation days to celebrate his daughter's birthday, but Lou Ming Ye revoked all leaves, leaving him with no choice but to seek Lin Lu Xiao's help to request time off.
Yu Qi Lei called Mi Lan, hoping she could help explain the situation and prevent his daughter from getting upset. However, Mi Lan refused and didn't understand Yu Qi Lei's predicament. Not wanting to disappoint his family, Yu Qi Lei reluctantly sought Lin Lu Xiao's assistance, finally obtaining permission to take leave.
Liu Ru Yi happened to witness Yu Qi Lei packing his belongings and realized that he had successfully obtained leave. She believed that Lou Ming Ye was trying to win people over by bringing back Lin Lu Xiao and grew even more resentful towards him.
Xi Gu rented a house that had a view of He Ping Road Special Operations Station and bought a telescope so that Nan Chu could see Lin Lu Xiao every day. Nan Chu was thrilled when she saw the house and the surprise arranged by Xi Gu. However, Shen Guang Zong was angry because Xi Gu didn't choose to live in the same community as him.
After watching a video of Nan Chu dancing, Han Dong suddenly had a new idea. He wanted Nan Chu to continue dancing in the Dream Dance Society and expressed his full support for the society. He envisioned Nan Chu becoming the star of the Dream Dance Society, reentering everyone's sight as a dancer.
Lou Ming Ye is too radical and one-sided. Even if something is right, the way and method of doing it should also be considered. Moreover, many things cannot be seen from just one perspective.
The cohesiveness of a team is crucial. Can a team still be called a team if it lacks unity? Furthermore, this is not just any team; it is a firefighting team that saves people in perilous situations.
How can such an important team lack a sense of unity? The role of a leader is not only about training and skills but also about paying attention to each individual and addressing conflicts within the team.
Also, Qin Shi Quan is more of a realist. From a certain perspective, he may not be entirely wrong, but such a person can only be a colleague. After all, his background and origins are different from others, which is why many netizens don't like him.
