Episode 16 recap: Jiang Tian began to understand Wu Jing Fang.
Wu Jing Fang went to the driving school to take the second part of the test. The instructor didn't look at her and directly scheduled her exam for one week later. When the instructor saw Wu Jing Fang's age, he asked her why she didn't stop him, questioning if it was possible for someone of her age to pass the exam in just one week. Jiang Tian felt that even though she grew up in Suzhou, she didn't understand it at all.
After Jiang Tian finished watching Lao Jiang leave, she received a call from Hu De Xiang. Hu De Xiang saw her message on a recruitment platform. She told Jiang Tian that she had also left Litong and started her own studio. She asked if Jiang Tian had time and wanted to talk to her.
Jiang Tian went to Hu De Xiang's studio. Hu De Xiang asked her if she had any requirements. Jiang Tian told her that she wanted to work independently, focusing on interior and architectural design. Hu De Xiang asked if she had any salary expectations, and Jiang Tian wanted around 15,000 yuan per month.
Hu De Xiang told her that for her newly established company, she couldn't afford to pay that much. Hu De Xiang explained that as a single mother, she had to pay her daughter's tuition and her husband's debts. Money was on her mind every day. Hu De Xiang knew that Jiang Tian wasn't suitable to learn under her. Jiang Tian probably also thought the same.
Hu De Xiang made a suggestion. She thought that Jiang Tian and she could exchange resources. For small companies like theirs, joining forces was the only way to succeed. Jiang Tian listened to Hu De Xiang's suggestion and hoped that they could have a pleasant collaboration in the future.
Lao Jiang and Zhou Ye Wen were drinking and chatting together. Lao Jiang asked if Zhou Ye Wen often talked to his parents. Lao Jiang felt that even though Jiang Tian had grown up, she was becoming more and more unfamiliar. Wu Jing Fang went back to the driving school to continue her driver's license test. Wang Ping asked her how Xiao Jiang was doing. Wu Jing Fang told her that Jiang Tian had gone to work. Wang Ping asked her about their company, but Wu Jing Fang didn't say anything.
She got into her training car, and when the instructor heard her get in, he didn't even look up or glance at Wu Jing Fang. He immediately scheduled her exam for the next week. When he finally looked up, he saw Wu Jing Fang and became visibly unsettled. He thought that someone of Wu Jing Fang's age couldn't pass the exam in just one week. Wu Jing Fang told him not to underestimate her and that she passed the first part in just one week as well.
Wu Jing Fang encountered various problems while practicing driving, which scared the instructor half to death.
The instructor asked Wu Jing Fang to get off the car quickly, saying that someone of her age should just go home instead. He mentioned that as an instructor, he had a pass rate, and Wu Jing Fang's performance would bring down his overall pass rate. Wu Jing Fang instantly became angry upon hearing his words and scolded the instructor before leaving.
Wang Ping thought that Wu Jing Fang didn't need to go to the studio or rush to find a job. She suggested that they could dance together and have a good time. Wu Jing Fang told her it was different, but Wang Ping couldn't understand why it would be different when they were just having fun. Wu Jing Fang simply felt that it was not the same.
Ding Su E saw Wu Jing Fang and immediately grabbed her to chat. Suddenly, they received a call from the neighborhood committee that there was a dispute at Lao Li's house in their village. Ding Su E called out to Wu Jing Fang, asking her to go with her. When they arrived at Lao Li's house, the eldest and second son were arguing fiercely over a housing issue.
The second son wanted the eldest son's family to move out because he and his wife wanted to have a child, but the eldest son didn't want to leave. Wu Jing Fang and Ding Su E had to ask for Lao Li's opinion. Lao Li suggested renovating the house properly so that both the eldest and second son could live there. The second son's wife, Xiao Mei, finished work and went to the room to find Qing Qing, but Qing Qing wasn't there. The family started looking for her again.
Zhou Ye Wen returned home after shopping and saw a little girl at the door. He brought the girl inside, and she turned out to be Qing Qing. Xiao Mei found Qing Qing playing with Zhou Ye Wen and thought he was a bad person. She scolded Zhou Ye Wen and took Qing Qing home.
Jiang Tian and Zhou Ye Wen went to a rooftop. Jiang Tian thanked Zhou Ye Wen for lending her money and expressed that even though she was born here, she didn't understand anything about this place. Therefore, it was challenging for her to establish a studio. Zhou Ye Wen told her that it wasn't easy for him when he first came here to do business as well. Jiang Tian asked him what the turning point was, and Zhou Ye Wen believed that having a good partner was crucial.
Wu Jing Fang went to a bar to have a drink, and Zheng Qian happened to run into her. However, he couldn't control Wu Jing Fang, so he called Zhou Ye Wen instead. Zhou Ye Wen and Jiang Tian came to find her.
Jiang Tian looked at Wu Jing Fang, who was drunk and singing, and she began to understand why Wu Jing Fang insisted on working.
