Episode 16 recap: Qu Man's parking lot incident, Bai Xin Ning is wrongly accused.
It was surprising for Bai Xin Ning when Lin Yi arranged a meeting between Cong Fei and herself. Lin Yi claimed to have witnessed Cong Fei doing his best for Bai Xin Ning. Lin Yi wanted Bai Xin Ning to write the name "Arianna" on the design drawings, but Bai Xin Ning couldn't bring herself to do it. Bai Xin Ning then asked some questions about Tang Wanrong, as she was also curious about her mother's background.
After finishing the meal, Bai Xin Ning left. Currently, Bai Xin Ning's designs are indeed impressive, and they still need to prepare a backup plan. Moreover, there are few people who can match Bai Xin Ning's craftsmanship and cutting techniques. The next day, Bai Xin Ning told Meng Xiao Xiao about Lin Yi asking her to give up the design for Qu Man. However, Meng Xiao Xiao didn't reveal the truth to Li Zhuo Ran. It seemed that Li Zhuo Ran didn't care much and only asked Meng Xiao Xiao to continue monitoring the situation between Bai Xin Ning and Lin Yi.
With Li Zhuo Ran's support, Bai Xin Ning now has Ye Xiao Qing working in the finance department and Li Ming Kang in the procurement department, both of whom are doing well. They later went to find Bai Xin Ning, believing that it must be because of her. They thought Lin Yi was helping them, but Bai Xin Ning denied it directly. Meng Xiao Xiao went to the design department, where Arianna behaved as if she was the boss. Meng Xiao Xiao went there to boost Bai Xin Ning's morale and told her to speak up if she needs anything in the future. Bai Xin Ning knew that she was caught between Lin Yi and Li Zhuo Ran, but for now, she wouldn't take sides and would just do things according to her own thoughts.
Qu Man was in the middle of a promotional event when Bai Xin Ning found out and hurriedly went after her. However, she arrived just as Qu Man's car was leaving. Later, Bai Xin Ning learned that Qu Man wasn't actually in the car but was hiding with Gao Yuan in another vehicle nearby. While the two were being intimate, Bai Xin Ning seemed to have seen them, and a group of fans and reporters also came chasing after them. Gao Yuan quickly drove away, and Bai Xin Ning missed the chance to meet Qu Man.
Upon returning, Gao Yuan asked Qu Man to sign a contract with Dongchen together, but at that moment, they received an anonymous email containing photos of Qu Man and Gao Yuan being intimate. Qu Man recalled that Bai Xin Ning was the only one present when the photos were taken, holding a phone in her hand, so she believed Bai Xin Ning was behind it.
Feeling down, Bai Xin Ning returned to the company, and coincidentally, Gao Yuan's secretary called her over, which made Bai Xin Ning very happy. Gao Yuan mentioned that Qu Man loved the magnolia flower Bai Xin Ning had, which pleased her. However, their request was for Bai Xin Ning to delete the photos. Bai Xin Ning was surprised to see the photos and insisted she didn't take them, but Gao Yuan still believed she was responsible. Bai Xin Ning wanted to explain, but Gao Yuan didn't give her the opportunity.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhe had been waiting for Bai Xin Ning downstairs, but she hadn't returned. The next day, photos of Qu Man and Gao Yuan were exposed in the newspaper, and Bai Xin Ning learned about it when she arrived at the company. She knew her magnolia design was doomed. Bai Xin Ning joined Ye Xiao Qing and the others for a meal, feeling that there was a powerful force behind her, directing her as the culprit of the secret photography, though she couldn't see it clearly yet. Gao Yuan informed Lin Yi about the situation, saying that Bai Xin Ning must have taken their photos, greatly affecting Qu Man's commercial value. Lin Yi claimed he could change the situation, but his condition was for Bai Xin Ning to leave Dongchen. If she didn't leave, Qu Man would not be willing to let her stay.
Lin Yi went to find Bai Xin Ning and revealed the possibility of Gao Yuan suing her. He emphasized that the fate of Dongchen was in Bai Xin Ning's hands. Reluctantly, Bai Xin Ning didn't want to bring shame to Dongchen, so she had no choice but to hold a press conference to explain herself. She even mentioned apologizing to Qu Man and admitted to fabricating the photos. However, at that moment, Li Ming Kang appeared. Li Ming Kang showed everyone the surveillance footage from the scene, confirming that Bai Xin Ning was indeed making a phone call. He made it clear that Bai Xin Ning was not the secret photographer and didn't need to resign. Someone handed the complete video to Lin Yi, who discovered that the culprit behind the secret photography was actually Meng Xiao Xiao. He called Meng Xiao Xiao afterward, and she explained that it was all to make Bai Xin Ning quit, so Qu Man could sign with Ariana.
