Episode 5 recap: Jiang Xi questioned Wei Ming about when he would get a divorce.

Guo Guo fell multiple times on the ice hockey rink, but Lin Shuang didn't notice as she was preoccupied with work-related thoughts. Guo Guo asked her what she was doing, and Lin Shuang replied that she was doing something remarkable. Guo Guo then shared an incident where she was mocked by classmates. Lin Shuang agreed to let Guo Guo pursue her studies because she believed Guo Guo had a genuine interest. While chatting with her classmates, they couldn't forget Lin Shuang winning the first prize in a design competition. When asked what she was currently doing, Lin Shuang mentioned that she was staying at home taking care of her child. Her classmates expressed a hint of regret, considering she was once the most accomplished student of their teacher. They acknowledged her abilities but felt that her absence from society for too long resulted in missed opportunities. They suggested that she lower her goals a bit, and perhaps good news would come her way, as they would keep an eye out for her.

When Lin Shuang was preparing to drive, someone unexpectedly got into her car. Her immediate response was to say that she wasn't a Didi driver. Upon hearing this, the person promptly exited the car. Lin Shuang noticed his anxious demeanor and offered to give him a ride. During the journey, she learned that the person was from the opposing company to "Fangzhou." Upon returning home, Wei Ming apologized for his bad attitude and offered to make a cake for her to eat. However, Lin Shuang ignored him and just played with Guo Guo. Lin Shuang observed Wei Ming and Guo Guo making the cake but didn't appear particularly happy, merely trying to cooperate.

Lin Shuang continued to train at the gym. Jiang Xi commented on how Lin Shuang was calculating and displaying affection simultaneously, finding it quite impressive. Lin Shuang stated that Wei Ming was hypocritical and only loved himself. She realized that she was still too young. Jiang Xi expressed uncertainty about whether Wei Ming loved her, but she was certain that Wei Ming loved Lin Shuang. Lin Shuang suggested that they verify Wei Ming's love for her.

While standing outside the restroom, Jiang Xi overheard her colleagues discussing Wei Ming's desire to compete for the position of vice president. This made her hesitant because Wei Ming hadn't made any promises to marry her after all these years. Seeing Wei Ming's message saying he missed her, Jiang Xi felt mixed emotions. Upon returning home, she immediately reprimanded Jiang Hai for his untidy appearance and questioned why he hadn't tidied up. At that moment, their mother called, requesting 150,000 yuan for a family financial matter and hoping Jiang Xi could contribute more for her younger brother. Sensing trouble, Jiang Hai quickly hung up the phone and declared that he had changed today. He believed that the industry was in a period of growth, and earning money to give his sister a 100,000 yuan red envelope would not be a problem.

Jiang Xi immediately realized her opportunity when she received a message from Fang Zong asking to meet. She quickly messaged Wei Ming, asking how she would be rewarded if she closed this deal. After seeing Wei Ming promise to double her bonus and salary, she hurried to the agreed location. Fang Zong said that it wouldn't be right to discuss business without a drink and proceeded to pour several glasses for her. Upon hearing that he agreed to meet and sign the contract the next day, she quickly drank another glass and stumbled out. Fang Zong saw her intoxicated state and immediately offered to take her home, despite her repeated refusals. Fortunately, Lin Shuang appeared and rescued her from the situation. Jiang Xi, while drunk, complained that in that household, it was all about money and no one paid attention to what she truly wanted.

Jiang Hai wasn't pleased when he heard someone knocking on the door, but his attitude immediately softened when he saw that it was a girl bringing Jiang Xi back. Upon hearing that Jiang Hai didn't know how to make sobering soup, Lin Shuang specially prepared it and asked him to feed it to Jiang Xi. Just that one cup of sobering soup made Jiang Hai feel as if he had encountered a magical elixir. When Jiang Xi regained sobriety, she immediately called Wei Ming to inform him that she had negotiated the contract and he would come to sign it in the morning. In order to secure this deal, Jiang Xi got up and said she could go to the company right away. Jiang Hai mentioned that the radish soup was made by her friend the previous day. Jiang Xi stated that she had no friends. Jiang Hai remarked that it was normal for her not to have friends with her current state, and she hadn't had many friends over the years either.
