Episode 16 recap: Lin Shuang Returns to the Workplace

Jiang Xi specially brought the clothes over, and Lin Shuang changed into them and entered the venue. Unexpectedly, she consecutively made several shots, and her colleagues on the side all said it was just luck. It wasn't until she positioned the white ball near the black ball that everyone realized she was truly skilled. Wei Jie found Lin Shuang and asked where she learned her snooker skills. Lin Shuang said she often played with classmates. The next day at work, Wei Jie immediately told Wei Ming about Lin Shuang's talent for playing snooker, hoping they could meet up frequently if there was a chance. Wei Ming readily agreed.

Jiang Xi remarked that Wei Ming did have some abilities. Huang Jiayi is now completely infatuated with him, and he knows how to handle inexperienced girls like her. Jiang Xi showed the income proof he had collected for Wei Ming, and now they can only take things slowly. Ming Bo was originally supposed to accompany Wei Ming on a business trip, but unexpectedly, Huang Jiayi got on the car, claiming that Ming Bo had something to do and she was the only one left. Lin Shuang learned that Panshi was hiring, so she immediately submitted her resume. Gu Yixu asked her how she would balance family and work in the future. Lin Shuang said that a family should not rely on one person alone. To make everyone believe in her, she directly showed them a glimpse of her busy daily life. Everyone then saw that a working mother's hectic life is no easier than anyone else's. Gu Yixu asked what she would do if she didn't pass the interview today. Lin Shuang said she wouldn't give up because she has her own life values to fulfill and wants to set a good example for her child, Guo Guo. After hearing that, Gu Yixu welcomed her to join this big family.

Lin Shuang found Jiang Hai and mentioned that Aunt Deng would help her pick up the child, so she wouldn't trouble him. Jiang Hai said he just wanted to see her more and listen to her voice. Lin Shuang clarified that she only saw him as a friend. Wei Ming mentioned that this outing would involve drinking and socializing, and as a girl, Lin Shuang shouldn't come along. Huang Jiayi commented that Wei Ming's statement was gender discrimination and just because she hadn't started yet didn't mean she couldn't do well. Lin Shuang went to work and a staff member guided her to familiarize herself with everything in the company. As soon as she sat down, a colleague mentioned that her position was right in front of the CEO's office, and all the work was clearly visible, so she needed to be cautious.

When Lin Shuang returned home, Guoguo was already asleep. After seeing off Aunt Deng, Lin Shuang started studying and preparing breakfast. The next morning, she hurried to the company for another busy day. Wei Ming asked Huang Jiayi why she looked worried. Huang Jiayi said that the client showed no sincerity, and with the company's current strength, they didn't need to cooperate with them. Wei Ming replied that there were no easy-to-deal-with clients, but the more difficult they were, the more valuable they could be. Wei Ming initially planned to continue reviewing Starlight's information but noticed that Jiayi had fallen asleep beside her, so she covered her with her own clothes.

Xiao Ping Guo felt a bit sad because she was slower than others in the team, and no one wanted to practice with her. Lin Shuang learned that Lao Chai had submitted her email to the leadership and didn't know what to do, so she called Jiang Xi for advice. Jiang Xi said she treated the workplace like a fairy tale world. Lin Shuang worried that she would be in trouble when CEO He returned. Jiang Xi provided a solution. The next day, CEO He asked who brought up the issue in the meeting. Lin Shuang said she just found a problem, and it had already been resolved. As for who received the information, she was not aware. Lin Shuang's crisis was successfully resolved, and she realized that Jiang Xi's abilities were exceptional, not just her appearance. When Lin Shuang encountered CEO He, she learned that her opportunity to study was arranged by Gu Xu. Jiang Xi immediately became curious and asked about Lin Shuang's relationship with Gu Xu. Lin Shuang worked late and asked Gu Xu why he helped her. Gu Xu said he was just helping Teacher Lin and another reason was her. He had always seen her as a rival. Lin Shuang expressed her gratitude, but she found it difficult to even enter Panshi now, so how could she become his rival? Gu Xu agreed and advised her to go back and rest early, considering her age.
