In the aftermath of Zhou Aiwens's accident, his mother-in-law Che Mother specially went to the temple to pray for his safety. Zhou Quan once again apologized to Che Li for his momentary carelessness that led to the accident Che Li had already forgiven him, and Zhou Aiwen even praised Zhou Quan as a good father, giving him lots of positive feedback This touched Zhou Quan deeply, and he decided to use his recent experience of caring for the children to put together a resume and start looking for a job outside the home Che Li fully supported his decision
Che Mother accidentally saw Zhou Quan's resume while playing with Zhou Aiwen in their tent, and was delighted to learn that Zhou Quan was rejoining the workforce. This meant she could continue caring for Zhou Aiwen. Che Mother eagerly confirmed the news with Che Li. However, their celebration was interrupted when Che Li received a call from Meng Fei, who wanted Che Li to travel with her. Che Mother quickly grabbed the phone and declined Meng Fei's request.
Meng Fei was upset about being shut down by Che Mother. Meanwhile, Meng Fei's own mother tried to cheer her up by secretly arranging for Meng Fei to meet again with a previous blind date, Yuan Yi.
The next day, as Zhou Quan prepared for his job interview, Che Li ironed his clothes and cheered him on. However, Meng Fei soon delivered disappointing news - the publishing company had decided not to publish Che Li's book, and instead wanted to compile her online articles into a collection. Che Li was unhappy with this, but Meng Fei advised her not to take it too seriously, as that was common industry practice.
When Zhou Quan arrived for his interview, he ended up chatting with a janitor who was trimming the garden - unaware that the janitor was actually the company's CEO. Zhou Quan inadvertently bad-mouthed the boss, much to his own alarm.
