Episode 12 recap: Bai Xin Ning found herself embroiled in another public controversy.
Meng Xiao Xiao asked Lin Yi what she needed to do during this time, and he told her that gaining Li Zhuo Ran's trust was enough. They happened to see a poster featuring Qu Man, who a few years ago was just a budding actress but had now transformed into a big star. Her rise to fame was remarkable. Qu Man was starting to become dissatisfied with the various jobs arranged by her agent and felt that she was the one making money and had the right to have a say.
While Bai Xin Ning and Ye Xiao Qing's group was out for a meal, Meng Xiao Xiao noticed Bai Xin Ning and went over to greet her. Later, she saw Bai Xin Ning having dinner with Lin Yi and learned from Li Ming Kang that Meng Xiao Xiao was someone Lin Yi had brought in, and rumors about their relationship had been circulating within the company. Bai Xin Ning happened to meet Meng Xiao Xiao at the bookstore and was invited to have a meal. Bai Xin Ning agreed but insisted on paying for the meal herself. Bai Xin Ning took Meng Xiao Xiao to a hot pot restaurant where she often ate. Meng Xiao Xiao was surprised as she didn't expect Bai Xin Ning to dine at a place like that.
Bai Xin Ning never treated Meng Xiao Xiao as just a decorative vase, and this impressed Meng Xiao Xiao, leading her to develop a favorable impression of Bai Xin Ning. She shared some tips with Bai Xin Ning about things to be mindful of while working at Dong Chen. To make progress, it was essential to continuously improve oneself and establish a solid foothold at Dong Chen. When Bai Xin Ning returned home in the evening, she received a video call from her close friend. It turned out that someone had investigated the place where Bai Xin Ning had worked abroad and had even inquired about her from her friend. Her clever friend, Xin Xin, cleverly turned the conversation around and provided false information about Bai Xin Ning's activities.
Bai Xin Ning asked Xinxin who was investigating her, and Xinxin described the person's appearance. Bai Xin Ning showed Xinxin a photo of Lin Yi, and Xinxin immediately confirmed that it was him. However, afterwards, Bai Xin Ning felt something was off. After all, if someone wanted to investigate her, they wouldn't show their own photo. So the only person Bai Xin Ning could think of who would investigate her was the chairman.
During the meeting, the chairman called Arianna and Bai Xin Ning over. The chairman deliberately mentioned the unfairness of Bai Xin Ning's name not being on the design drafts and specifically requested to add her name. Bai Xin Ning was naturally very happy upon hearing this, but Arianna couldn't sit still. After the meeting, Arianna wanted to intimidate Bai Xin Ning. The chairman's secretary came over and called Bai Xin Ning. Bai Xin Ning went to the chairman's office, which used to be her mother's office, so everything there was familiar, but now it belonged to Li Zhuo Ran.
Li Zhuo Ran arrived and expressed his approval of Bai Xin Ning. He asked Bai Xin Ning to prepare a speech about her design work when she returned. Bai Xin Ning was pleasantly surprised by Li Zhuo Ran's kindness. After returning, Bai Xin Ning told Ye Xiao Qing and Li Ming Kang about this, and they were both very happy for her.
The press conference came soon, but Arianna was late to arrive. Lin Yi was worried because he had prepared for Arianna to speak on stage. Originally, there was a makeup artist arranged for her in the company, but Arianna looked down on that and brought her own makeup artist. Unexpectedly, Li Zhuo Ran was prepared. He intentionally caused a car accident on Arianna's way to the company, hoping to prevent her from arriving at the press conference on time. As the time for the press conference approached and the journalists grew impatient, Lin Yi had to go on stage to answer their questions. It was at this moment that Li Zhuo Ran came over. He publicly introduced Bai Xin Ning as the jewelry designer.
Bai Xin Ning was prepared and performed well on stage. Lin Yi knew that all of this was the chairman's doing. Lin Yi, along with the secretary on a motorcycle, finally brought Arianna back. They arrived just as the press conference was ending. Lin Yi announced to everyone that Bai Xin Ning and Arianna would co-host the upcoming work. Bai Xin Ning knew that Li Zhuo Ran's actions were likely aimed at suppressing Lin Yi, but she didn't know his true intentions. Sometimes, Bai Xin Ning found it difficult to understand Lin Yi. He seemed to be both suppressing her and helping her at the same time.
