Episode 1 recap: Shen Mi Organizes Stray Dog Adoption Event
Two years ago, Shen Mi brought Carlo to the Tianlin Pet Hospital for treatment. Carlo had a congenital heart disease, and this time he was brought in due to myocardial ischemia. However, it was already too late when he arrived. Shen Mi was extremely anxious, urging Carlo to hold on and not leave her.
Tian Tian worked in the operating room to rescue Carlo, tirelessly trying various methods to save him. Finally, Carlo was successfully brought back to life. After returning to the office, Tian Tian started writing but found that her pen was broken. Shen Mi happened to come by to express her gratitude, and she gave her own fountain pen to Tian Tian. Tian Tian recognized Shen Mi and knew that she was a prominent figure in the school.
Two years quickly passed, and Shen Mi organized an adoption ceremony for the stray dogs of the Green River Group. Shen Chen came back and said he brought a gift for Shen Mi and the others. Shen Mi hoped that Shen Chen would work at the company, but he refused. Someone arrived outside, and Shen Chen quickly hid to the side.
Shen Mi's uncle, Shen Hongyuan, came to find her and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with her organizing such an event. He felt it was a waste of effort and would not bring any benefits. He asked Shen Mi who would cover the expenses for this event. Shen Mi explained that this event had already gained a lot of attention and was meant to promote the company, so the promotional budget would cover the expenses.
Shen Hongyuan argued that it was all just showmanship and that there would be no further news after this event, so it wouldn't serve as effective promotion. Shen Mi explained that the adoption ceremony this time was a paid adoption, and the funds generated from that would cover the expenses incurred. Shen Mi left first, and Shen Hongyuan made a phone call, stating that the event was a paid adoption, suggesting they focus on that aspect. Unbeknownst to Shen Hongyuan, Shen Chen was hiding nearby and overheard the conversation.
There were many girls at the event, and they were all very excited to see Shen Mi. They thought he was handsome and capable. Unexpectedly, a man rushed to the stage and accused Shen Mi of being a heartless businessman who profited from stray cats and dogs. Shen Mi explained that the paid adoption event was only to select people willing to spend money on stray dogs, and the funds obtained would continue to be used for the rescue of stray cats and dogs. If he wanted to adopt a stray cat or dog without spending money, there were still many strays in society that needed help, and he could go there to show his love.
The man ignored everyone's protests and started causing a scene. He smashed a board on the stage, and in an attempt to save someone, Shen Mi was hit and fell down. Everyone quickly helped Shen Mi up and took him to the hospital. In the commotion, nobody noticed Carlo, and they were unaware that Carlo had been following them all along.
Tian Tian returned home and was surprised to find his mother preparing a birthday surprise for him. Tian Tian's younger brother, Tian Yu Xian, pushed Shen Mi out and told her not to come back before the evening. Tian Tian went out to feed the stray cats, and unexpectedly received a call from Tian Yu Xian, saying that their father had fallen on the way and urgently needed to go to the hospital.
Shen Chen learned that Shen Mi was fine, just tired, and that a good rest would suffice. Shen Chen covered Shen Mi's head with a blanket and left. As Tian Tian arrived at the hospital, he mistakenly heard the wrong ward number and went to Shen Mi's side. Seeing someone with their head covered, Tian Tian thought it was his father and burst into tears, thinking he had passed away. Shen Mi was awakened by the commotion, and Tian Tian felt extremely embarrassed. He quickly apologized and ran out. Outside, Shen Mi met Shen Chen, and Shen Chen had a good impression of him.
Outside the hospital, Shen Mi encountered Carlo, who had rushed over. Shen Mi noticed that Carlo had collapsed on the ground and upon examination, understood that Carlo had a heart problem. He quickly took Carlo back. Tian Tian treated Carlo and shared the news of Carlo's situation in a group chat, asking everyone to help spread the message and find the owner. A man came forward and claimed that Carlo was his dog.
Before a person becomes better, they will definitely experience many hardships, perhaps days that are difficult to endure. Maybe this period will be long, or maybe it will pass in the blink of an eye. But you must believe that you will get better, give yourself some time, give good luck some time.
