Episode 9 recap: Unfaithful scumbag begs Gou Dan Dan for forgiveness.
Wu Yun was dealing with the affairs of the mahjong hall and encountered trouble. As an outsider, Wu Yun couldn't handle it, so he made a phone call and summoned Gou Dan Dan. Gou Dan Dan bravely stepped in and fought against the older players with her wit and intelligence! Gou Dan Dan's boyfriend, after getting drunk late at night, actually came to Gou Dan Dan's house begging for reconciliation. However, Gou Dan Dan couldn't forgive him and felt hurt. They argued, and Gou Dan Dan decided to record the conversation on her phone.
Zhang Pei's parents went out to pick up a package, and the delivery person mentioned that there was another package at home, which turned out to be Zhang Pei's. They decided to pick it up together. Later, Zhang Pei's mother was called by a neighbor to go shopping at a supermarket, so Zhang Pei's father opened the package at the post office alone.
Meanwhile, Zhang Pei was working overtime at the company when Xie Yang suddenly arrived with his old classmates and wife. Zhang Pei quickly showed concern and learned that the wife of Xie Yang's old classmate had recently undergone thyroid cancer surgery. However, the critical illness insurance purchased by the company didn't cover the expenses. After hearing that Zhang Pei was involved in such matters, they came to seek advice. Zhang Pei examined the severity of thyroid cancer and honestly stated that it fell under the category of mild illnesses.
When they heard that critical illness insurance couldn't be claimed, the couple's expressions turned gloomy. Zhang Pei explained that a detailed analysis would require reviewing the contract, so he asked them to go home and find the electronic version of the contract. Later, Xie Yang seemed to have something to discuss with Zhang Pei and returned, but at that moment, Liu Feng suddenly arrived. It turned out that the company was originally planning a team-building event. Xie Yang had no choice but to leave first, promising to discuss the matter through WeChat later.
At the mahjong hall, the older players started playing mahjong again before Wu Yun arrived, leading to another complaint. Wu Yun felt helpless and had to bring Liu Wen Shan to negotiate with the older players. The older players expressed that they couldn't wait any longer as two days had already passed. Wu Yun then proposed a solution. After conducting a survey in the community, Wu Yun came up with a timetable that would allow the older players to play mahjong without disturbing others. However, the older players were still unconvinced and demanded that Wu Yun compete against them. If Wu Yun won, they would follow his plan. Although Wu Yun wasn't skilled at playing mahjong, he agreed because the issue needed to be resolved.
On the other hand, Zhang Pei, accompanied by Liu Feng and company employees, arrived at the venue for the team-building event. Liu Feng didn't forget to remind Zhang Pei about their bet. As they conversed, Zhang Pei enthusiastically talked about work. One of the employees, Lao Deng, encountered a familiar face who directly flattered him, asking if he had been promoted to the head of the finance department. Lao Deng hesitated to respond and only mentioned after the person left that he hadn't informed others about his job change. Zhang Pei understood Lao Deng's reasons, but it was due to others' lack of understanding about the industry. Zhang Pei still loved this job.
Wu Yun and Liu Wen Shan quickly joined the card game, but the older players had been playing for a long time and had many secret signals between them. Wu Yun announced that he wanted to play a round-robin game and started shaking people in the WeChat group. Meanwhile, Gou Dan Dan was stressed about money issues and regretted paying two years' worth of rent upfront.
Upon receiving Wu Yun's message, Gou Dan Dan immediately set off. Zhang Pei, busy with work, sent Lao Deng to help. The four of them discussed and prepared for the battle. Wu Yun and Lao Deng were not beginners, and after a few rounds, the older players started to lose. They naturally kept their promise and decided to play mahjong according to Wu Yun's designated timetable. Lao Deng also took the opportunity to promote insurance.
When Zhang Pei returned home from work to pick up a package, he discovered that it had already been collected. Upon returning home, Zhang Pei found out that his parents had picked up the package for him, but his father had retreated to the bedroom. Zhang Pei realized that his parents had opened the package, and the beauty device inside had been misunderstood by the neighbor. Seeing this scene, Zhang Pei recalled the time when his diary was read by his mother during his school days, realizing that he had no privacy. Now, as an adult, things were still the same. Zhang Pei felt increasingly sad and ended up having a big argument with his mother before retreating to his room.
At this moment, Xie Yang happened to pull Zhang Pei into reminiscing about their youth, unknowingly hitting a sore spot for Zhang Pei. Dong Jia Xi agreed to a promising job opportunity and promised to start in a month. Gou Dan Dan's boyfriend, who had been drinking, came over again to seek reconciliation. Gou Dan Dan was furious and directly confronted him, recording his confession. Shortly after, Teacher Ding called to inform them that the test results were out, but Ding was still worried about Xi Xi.
At that moment, Xi Xi had just returned home from work, and Gou Dan Dan sent a message about her mother's diagnosis. Dong Jia Xi instantly burst into tears.
