Episode 11 recap: Wei Ming asked Jiang Xi to be a scapegoat for him.
Wei Mu approached Wei Ming and asked him to buy stocks for him, hoping that he could help him out. Wei Ming explained that he had already given 500,000 yuan to Lin Shuang, so he didn't have any money at the moment. Wei Mu was surprised to hear about the 500,000 yuan and directly asked if Wei Ming had something on Lin Shuang and if she was involved in some suspicious activities, as she had been frequently going out lately. Wei Mu believed that she must be working together with her father to secure their family's interests.
Wei Ming mentioned that he had some free time the next day, and his parents wanted to help take care of Guo Guo, so he suggested that they go out together and have some quality time as a couple. The next day, Wei Ming expressed that he felt things were better when they were younger. However, Lin Shuang honestly stated that the present was better because they didn't have to worry about trivial matters in life or be burdened with concerns. While Lin Shuang was looking at a basketball, she walked towards a well-decorated area and found Wei Ming there. He mentioned their first meeting and how she didn't reject him at that time. This gave him the motivation to strive and become the best version of himself. At that moment, their colleagues came out, and Wei Ming expressed his gratitude for her ten years of understanding and the sacrifices she made for their family. He considered the past ten years as a milestone and a new starting point. He sincerely thanked her for making him the happiest person. Lin Shuang asked if the basketball from ten years ago was intentionally set up, and Wei Ming admitted that it was fake, but the love they shared was real.
Lin Shuang found Jiang Xi and showed her the ten-year anniversary of Wei Ming's design. Jiang Xi bluntly accused her of showing off, as everything she despised was the very achievement she desired. Jiang Xi recalled Lin Shuang's words that all these things were carefully designed by Wei Ming to portray himself as a good man and prevent her from exposing the truth at work. Ling Zong left and Wei Ming mentioned that his current project could be more stable. When Wei Ming asked about the vice president, Ling Zong advised her not to be too impatient.
Jiang Xi returned to the company only to find out that the company's system had been frozen. Gu Xu directly got into Lin Shuang's car and stated that he wouldn't get off unless she took him to the meeting. Lin Shuang couldn't accept orders either. Lin Shuang felt annoyed when she heard Gu Xu calling her "Driver Master," and a sudden brake made him stumble. Wei Ming learned from Wei Jie that the system freeze was due to an investigation into the mole. She subtly asked what Wei Ming would do if the mole appeared in her department, and Wei Jie said they should investigate directly.
Wei Ming asked Jiang Xi about the meeting with the HR department. Jiang Xi explained that they simply asked about her performance and whether she had considered any development routes. However, she didn't say anything she shouldn't have. Wei Ming expressed her trust in Jiang Xi and said that she needed to plan carefully to live up to that trust. When Wei Ming returned home, she found Lin Shuang still awake. Lin Shuang asked if she had found the mole, but Wei Ming said she hadn't. If there really was a mole, they would face their nemesis or let them take the blame when the time came. Wei Ming assured Lin Shuang that she didn't need to worry because it had nothing to do with her.
Lin Shuang called Jiang Xi and advised her to be cautious because Wei Ming was difficult to predict. Jiang Xi dismissed it, saying the matter had already been resolved, and there was nothing to worry about. Shortly after hanging up, Jiang Xi was called into the HR department. As expected, she was framed by Wei Ming as the person who leaked the data. Jiang Xi felt helpless and devastated. She argued that if she had leaked the data because of Feng Kai, there were others with stronger motives. Jiang Xi couldn't defend herself, and they told her that if she cooperated and resigned, the company wouldn't ruin her. After hearing this, Jiang Xi approached Wei Ming and asked her why she did such a thing. Wei Ming simply stated that she didn't want to end up like Jiang Xi, and besides, the result of n+3 was already good enough.
Lin Shuang learned about Jiang Xi's dismissal from Wei Ming and felt lost for a moment. Jiang Hai returned home and saw the chaos, immediately showing concern. Jiang Xi expressed her wish for him to stay away from her and broke down when he mentioned their mother's desire for her to repay the construction funds. She told him to leave directly.
