Episode 8 recap: Lanxi won over Shang Tianjing based on her abilities.
In the evening, after her colleagues had all left work, Lanxi returned to the office and found Qian Zhihang sitting on the floor, piecing together the torn proposal she had shredded. She couldn't help but feel touched. Qian Zhihang apologized for his impulsive actions in the afternoon upon seeing Lanxi. Lanxi, noticing his effort in piecing the proposal back together, assured him that she had a backup. However, when she inserted the USB drive into the computer, she couldn't open the files no matter what she tried.
Lanxi suspected that she had broken the USB drive by accident and reluctantly accepted her fate of manually assembling the files. Qian Zhihang accompanied Lanxi throughout the process. Lanxi had already made up her mind. The proposal Shang Tianjing had used this time was her original draft, which only highlighted the advantages and ignored the flaws. With the several modifications she had made afterwards, she was confident that she could surpass Shang Tianjing. Lanxi decided to compete with Shang Tianjing openly and fairly, determined to defeat her.
During the process of working on the files with Qian Zhihang, Lanxi and him grew closer. The atmosphere gradually became a bit ambiguous, and Qian Zhihang couldn't help but want to kiss Lanxi. However, Lanxi's reflexes were faster than her thoughts, and she slapped Qian Zhihang directly on the face, claiming there was a mosquito on his face and that she was trying to kill it. The situation between them became awkward. Qin Ziye learned about Lanxi and Qian Zhihang's situation and believed that Lanxi had developed feelings for him. However, Lanxi denied it stubbornly.
Qian Zhihang deliberately called a meeting where Shang Tianjing and Lanxi were asked to present their respective project plans. Lanxi received significantly more votes than Shang Tianjing and was elected as the project supervisor. This made Shang Tianjing feel both sour and jealous.
