Episode 2 recap: Xu Gang Ren was forced to step down.
Xu Gang Ren and Kuang Lili lived in their current house and felt that coming to Beijing was the right decision. Xu Gang Ren received a call informing him that the driver was coming to pick him up. After bidding farewell at the door, Xu Gang Ren set off for the company. However, he encountered road construction and traffic congestion on the way. Xu Gang Ren wanted to get off and take the subway, but the driver mentioned directions using cardinal points, which Xu Gang Ren was not familiar with. Nevertheless, he managed to reach the company successfully.
However, when he arrived downstairs, Xu Gang Ren couldn't enter the building because he hadn't registered for facial recognition. Fortunately, the secretary came to pick him up and took him to the elevator. Kuang Lili called him, but Xu Gang Ren told her he had to enter the elevator and hastily hung up the phone. To his surprise, he found that everyone in the elevator was also on the phone. Apparently, elevators in mainland China had signal reception.
Once Xu Gang Ren arrived at the company, he greeted everyone and attempted to communicate with them using his limited Mandarin. He handed over a list of things he needed to the secretary, and to his surprise, the last item on the list was "urine bag." Soon, the news of Xu Gang Ren's kidney deficiency spread throughout the company.
At first, Xu Gang Ren was unaware of the rumors until he heard it from the cleaning lady. He became very angry and demanded to know who spread the false information about his kidney deficiency. Secretary Xiao Li quickly stepped in to explain. Eventually, everyone realized that Xu Gang Ren was referring to a power bank, not a urine bag. Xu Gang Ren also invited everyone for lunch, and his colleagues expressed their gratitude.
During the day, when Kuang Lili had nothing to do, she joined a one-day tour with a group. The tour guide asked everyone to close their eyes and listen to the sounds. Surprisingly, Kuang Lili claimed to have heard the sound of money and even suggested that a traditional courtyard house would be a good investment opportunity. After work, Kuang Lili shared her thoughts with Xu Gang Ren, expressing her belief in the investment potential of Beijing's real estate market.
The two of them continued to explore the city until nighttime. They even encountered a group of middle-aged women dancing in the square, and Xu Gang Ren pulled Kuang Lili to join in the dance. They shared their experiences with their siblings in Hong Kong. However, Xu Gang Wen was more concerned about his path to becoming an internet celebrity. They visited a company today to discuss potential collaborations, but Xu Gang Wen's Mandarin was poor, and the other party couldn't understand him. Fortunately, their friend was present to help with , and the other party finally understood.
In the evening, their friend mentioned being pressured by her mother to go on a blind date. Xu Gang Wen didn't want her to go and initially thought it was because he cared about her. However, it turned out that Xu Gang Wen was concerned about not having anyone to help him film videos. He even rambled about it even when he was drunk. His friend sent him home, took care of him, helped him freshen up, and even trimmed his fingernails. Xu Gang Wen asked her not to leave him, and unable to resist, his friend kissed him on the forehead.
Whenever they had free time, Xu Gang Ren would accompany Kuang Lili to go shopping. They planned to try Lu Zhu (a type of street food) and Douzhi (fermented mung bean juice), but the taste of Douzhi made them uncomfortable, so they ended up choosing to eat Hong Kong cuisine. Lele wanted Xu Baoyi to help her get an employee discount for bags in the store, but Xu Gang Wen showed up, so Lele quickly left.
Whenever Xu Gang Wen had free time, he would watch live streams teaching Chinese on the internet. Even though only the person's lips were visible, Xu Gang Wen still liked it. Xu Gang Wen was watching the surveillance footage in the store when he unexpectedly saw his close friend kissing him. He couldn't believe it and even said it must have been a matter of angles.
Coincidentally, the close friend came over, and Xu Gang Wen quickly kept his distance. Xu Gang Wen answered a phone call and went outside, and the friend happened to see the surveillance video on the computer. It suddenly dawned on her why Xu Gang Wen reacted as if he had seen a ghost. Lele prepared the bags she had bought to take back to Beijing as a gift for her mother, and Xu Baoyi asked her brother to help prepare her luggage. She planned to go to Beijing and surprise Lele.
Xu Gang Wen now planned to go to Beijing as well to leave his close friend behind and develop himself. After all, his older brother was also in Beijing, so they could be together. Kuang Lili also planned to go and meet her friends in Beijing and prepare for an interview at a law firm. Xu Gang Ren went to work in the morning, and Boss Qiang was waiting for him in the office. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be old friends, and Xu Gang Ren was very happy to see Boss Qiang.
They also talked about the time when they were on a bus together and Boss Qiang got diarrhea because they had mistakenly taken each other's food. This incident was still fresh in Boss Qiang's memory. Boss Qiang mentioned that his position now was higher than Xu Gang Ren's, which surprised Xu Gang Ren. Because of the previous incident, Xu Gang Ren felt a bit embarrassed, so Boss Qiang decided to make things difficult for Xu Gang Ren.
Afterward, he assigned a poorly managed project to Xu Gang Ren, and even Xu Gang Ren's office became Boss Qiang's. Just when Xu Gang Ren was about to enjoy a few good days, he had to move from the large office to a small one, and even his secretary was no longer his secretary. Xu Gang Ren was completely speechless.
The driver took Xu Gang Ren to an abandoned place, and it would be extremely difficult to build a career in such a desolate location. At this time, Xu Baoyi called and said that she and her second brother were coming to Beijing. Xu Gang Ren didn't dare to tell his wife the truth and could only come up with an excuse that they had moved to a new house.
