Episode 12 recap: Jiang Xi's advice to Lin Shuang receives a backlash.
Jiang Hai called Lin Shuang to inform her that their sister was missing. He said that yesterday when he went home, he found their sister in a bad mood and she wouldn't let him get close. But when he woke up today, he couldn't find her anywhere. Lin Shuang immediately tried to comfort him and they searched many places but couldn't find her. Finally, Jiang Xi called, and that's when they found her.
Jiang Xi expressed that Wei Ming is really good at pretending, especially when it comes to deceiving others' emotions. However, she didn't have any evidence, so she couldn't do anything about it. Lin Shuang agreed with her and asked what she should do. Lin Shuang said that she shouldn't let one person ruin her life because he would eventually face consequences.
Lin Shuang mentioned that when she was studying, she had a proud and arrogant attitude, looking down on those who were not on her level. As a result, very few people approached her. Wei Ming was the one who always appeared at the right time, so genuine feelings developed between them. When they got married, she took their marriage seriously because it was her choice. In this marriage, she is not upset about why Wei Ming cheated but rather how she ended up losing so miserably. When asked about Jiang Xi's plans, Lin Shuang stated that she wouldn't leave the Ark. She had worked hard to secure her job there, and her family wouldn't allow her to resign.
Mi Xue asked Jiang Xi how she came here, considering that she had betrayed the company and caused a lot of commotion. Jiang Xi straightforwardly stated that she, as a supervisor, shouldn't believe everything she hears. Lin Shuang continued to handle business outside, and Jiang Hai called her, expressing his desire for her to review a business plan. Lin Shuang immediately agreed, and during their meeting, Jiang Hai shared his thoughts. Lin Shuang thought it was good and also offered some suggestions, even though they might not be professional. She encouraged him to pursue his dreams and face challenges with a light heart. Jiang Hai expressed his gratitude, noting that she was the only one who truly understood him. Jiang Hai listened to Lin Shuang's words and went out for an interview, feeling a bit uncomfortable due to other candidates' impressive academic qualifications. At a crucial moment, however, he ran out.
Wei Ming told Jiang Xi that he would recommend a new job for her. Jiang Xi mentioned that Ling Zong no longer trusted her as much, so she needed to consider her options. Wei Ming arrived at the company and saw Li Zong looking unhappy. He immediately apologized, but Li Zong spoke harshly, causing a subordinate to spill coffee on himself, emphasizing that he wanted everyone to see reality. Lin Shuang received a call from her mother-in-law and felt helpless because she was currently outside and couldn't go back to cook for them. She had no choice but to call Jiang Xi for help. Jiang Xi arrived at the residential area and immediately spotted Wei Fu and Wei Mu. She said she wanted to give Wei Ming a shopping card so that they could buy daily necessities. Upon hearing this, the couple quickly rushed to the supermarket. Coincidentally, Lin Shuang had time to prepare takeout, and her spouse praised her, saying that the meal she prepared was even better than the food in a five-star restaurant.
Jiang Xi commented that Lin Shuang was being overly cautious, even though she was getting a divorce. Lin Shuang explained that she needed to find a job to prepare for the lawsuit. Jiang Xi bluntly stated that Lin Shuang was too rigid and always considered others before herself.
Wei Ming held a meeting and expressed dissatisfaction with the low performance, stating that it was difficult to explain to the leaders. However, he encouraged everyone to work hard and not lose hope.
At a class reunion, everyone was curious about whether Gu Xu would attend. Their surprise was evident when he walked in. Wei Mu found a hotel receipt and immediately claimed it as evidence of Lin Shuang's misconduct. Gu Xu learned that Lin Shuang hadn't come to the class reunion and immediately sent her a message. Lin Shuang explained that she hadn't seen it, and Gu Xu pointed out that she should have informed everyone in advance to avoid wasting their time.
Lin Shuang took the opportunity to seek advice from him. Lin Shuang's mother-in-law questioned her about the hotel incident, asking about the 3,000 yuan expenditure. Upon seeing this, Wei Ming quickly claimed responsibility, explaining that he incurred the expenses during a business trip and must have mixed up the charges. Wei Ming asked Lin Shuang if she was interested in financial management, mentioning that he had a friend who needed performance results and could provide advice.
Upon hearing that Wei Ming had given Lin Shuang 500,000 yuan, Jiang Xi felt a pang of heartache and told him to handle the matter himself. Ming Bo tried to strike up a conversation with Jiang Xi and gave her a pot of succulents. Mi Xue saw this and expressed her belief that Jiang Xi was not suitable for him. Ming Bo disagreed, leading Mi Xue to vent her frustration on Jiang Xi. After a retort from Jiang Xi, Mi Xue had no choice but to leave. Later, she talked negatively about Jiang Xi to Wei Ming.
