Episode 1 recap: Zheng Shuyi's interview was unsuccessful.

While Zheng Shuyi was busy preparing interview outlines in her office without catching a glimpse of Shi Yan, her colleagues couldn't bear seeing her like that. They advised her to let go, but she persisted and continued to prepare, determined to carefully modify the interview material regardless of the stature of the person she was interviewing. Her colleagues, unable to convince her, thought about seeking their help to assess whether Shi Yan was handsome or not.

Meanwhile, Shi Yan himself sat in his private car, holding something in his hand and carefully studying the preparation plan for the upcoming interview. After going through the question and answer scenarios, he decisively passed on the opportunity. Having read Zheng Shuyi's interview outline, he was ready to meet her and make proper arrangements.

When Zheng Shuyi arrived at Sister Yi's office, she directly asked her not to continue persuading her. This time, she was well aware that her abilities were no match for the other person. Although she really wanted to complete the interview, there was still a tiny bit of reluctance. She planned to prepare meticulously for the next opportunity.

After listening to Zheng Shuyi's sincere words, Sister Yi's lips curled into a smile. She quickly noticed the carefully dressed attire of the person in front of her, which seemed different from usual. It turned out that it was the birthday of Zheng Shuyi's boyfriend today, so she had prepared these things. At that moment, Sister Yi revealed that Shi Yan had chosen Zheng Shuyi herself as the final candidate and asked her to arrive at the destination at 7:00.

Zheng Shuyi then sat alone in her office, diligently completing her work. Her good friend came over and gossiped about the past between Shi Yan and their company, which made Zheng Shuyi even more impressed by his bravery. When Shi Yan arrived at the destination, he calmly dealt with the matters at hand and even mentioned the plans for Cloud Creation to collaborate with Lieying. He decisively rejected the proposal and chose to cooperate with the people from Lean. Despite the persuasion of those around him, he remained unmoved. Afterward, due to personal matters, Shi Yan directly had his assistant cancel his interview for the day.

On the other side, Zheng Shuyi, still unaware of the situation, continued to believe that the interview work would proceed as planned. She even took the opportunity to call her boyfriend in the restroom, intending to celebrate his birthday a bit later. After hanging up the phone, she quickly received a call from someone on Shi Yan's side, informing her that the interview had been canceled.

Upon learning this bad news, Zheng Shuyi took it upon herself to find out Shi Yan's whereabouts. She went to him without an invitation, pleading with his assistant for another chance and patiently waiting for his arrival. While waiting alone, Zheng Shuyi coincidentally encountered Yu You, a young professor who had just graduated from school. The two of them exchanged WeChat contacts smoothly. When Shi Yan happened to pass by and saw the woman in front of him, he suddenly remembered having met her at a press conference. However, by the time Zheng Shuyi regained her composure, her interview subject had already entered the building.

As Zheng Shuyi walked out, the sky unleashed a heavy downpour. She declined advances from strangers on the roadside and got into her boyfriend's car to return home. Along the way, Zheng Shuyi vented about the interview and successfully arrived back home. Upon arriving home, she realized her phone was missing. Through tracking, she discovered that it was in the hospital. Worried about her boyfriend, Zheng Shuyi went alone to the hospital and coincidentally witnessed her boyfriend and an unfamiliar woman embracing and sharing a passionate kiss. Overwhelmed by the scene, she couldn't accept it and, drenched, took a taxi back the way she came.
