Episode 13 recap: Liang Jing Ren's live broadcast revealed a romantic relationship.
Mrs. Fang came to the company to hold a meeting, and Xu Yingfei quickly explained to her that they had already made plans for the next steps. Wen Huixin didn't care if Xu Yingfei would shift the blame onto her. Xu Yingfei even claimed to have a way to silence the employees. However, this solution did not satisfy Mrs. Fang at all. She was concerned that if the scandal continued, it might become uncontrollable.
After hearing their senior management meeting, Wen Huixin took the initiative to enter and explain. She said that the only way now was to step forward and find a better solution to the situation. Soon, the company held an internal meeting, and Wen Huixin voluntarily took responsibility and stated that she had also developed a series of plans to prevent such incidents from happening again.
Zhang Jia Yan remembered when they were still in a relationship. Since she found out that Liang Jing Ren had not yet divorced, she had completely given up on him. They even had a notebook where they wrote their wishes together. But since that night, Zhang Jia Yan no longer wanted to continue entangling with Liang Jing Ren.
She then left directly. After Wen Huixin finished speaking, Zhang Jia Yan immediately raised a question. As a journalist, she asked a very sharp question. Mrs. Fang actually held a favorable view of Zhang Jia Yan. She supported Zhang Jia Yan's proposal and planned to conduct a live broadcast immediately to clarify everything. Zhang Jia Yan also recommended Liu Yan as the host. After thinking for a while, Mrs. Fang stood at the forefront and believed that her professional team could conduct the live broadcast immediately. She also entrusted Liu Yan with the task, which was a great opportunity for Liu Yan.
With four hours left until the live broadcast, Liang Jing Ren approached Zhang Jia Yan alone, hoping to clarify the situation together. However, Zhang Jia Yan didn't want to cooperate and believed that it was enough to state the facts clearly. Xu Xiaowei noticed Zhao Kaixin sitting alone and watching the video. In fact, Zhao Kaixin was also a victim, and she wanted to come forward but lacked the courage.
Xu Xiaowei kept encouraging Zhao Kaixin, who was still hesitating whether to tell Wen Huixin about the matter. Xu Xiaowei encouraged her and felt that it was unnecessary to inform Wen Huixin about it.
Wen Huixin encountered Zhao Kaixin in the elevator and advised her not to take any action in the absence of sufficient evidence, as she would end up getting hurt. The live broadcast started soon, and Zhang Jia Yan and Liang Jing Ren voluntarily came forward to clarify their relationship.
Liang Jing Ren confessed directly that he was in a romantic relationship with Xu Xiaowei, and this revelation caused a stir. Xu Xiaowei, feeling scared, quickly went to find Zhao Kaixin with some items. However, she found Zhao Kaixin in the utility room, watching the live broadcast and self-harming by cutting her wrists. Xu Xiaowei fainted upon seeing the blood. Although Zhao Kaixin was rushed to the hospital for treatment, she is currently in a coma.
Mrs. Fang personally met with Zhang Jia Yan. In fact, Mrs. Fang was not entirely satisfied with Zhang Jia Yan's responses during the live broadcast. However, Mrs. Fang needed someone like Zhang Jia Yan to help maintain the balance. Zhang Jia Yan was not willing to confront them directly.
After returning to the company, Wen Huixin deliberately marginalized Zhang Jia Yan's team and took the opportunity to give Xu Shi Qing a chance to be the host. Liang Jing Ren, who was on the sidelines, never expected Xu Shi Qing to betray him.
Liang Jing Ren was very angry and confronted Xu Yingfei, but Xu Yingfei only said a few words. After all, Xu Xiaowei and Zhao Kaixin were both in the hospital, which was a ticking time bomb for Liang Jing Ren. Therefore, this matter had to be taken seriously, and he should not attract too much attention.
After Xu Xiaowei returned from the hospital, she voluntarily kneeled in front of everyone to apologize to Wen Huixin. She could live without a boyfriend, but she couldn't live without Wen Huixin. Now, Xu Xiaowei just wanted an opportunity to prove herself.
Liang Jing Ren went to the hospital and finished visiting Zhao Kaixin. It was from her parents that he learned that Zhao Kaixin was actually infatuated with him. The reason she reported him was also to drag him down, thinking that this would give her a chance to be with him.
Soon, Zhao Kaixin woke up, and Liang Jing Ren visited him. Zhao Kaixin took the initiative to apologize to Liang Jing Ren, and Liang Jing Ren also hoped that they could work together to clarify the situation once again.
I like the character She Shi Man. She may be tough on the outside, but she has a soft heart and holds onto her integrity. I gradually grew to dislike Jia Yan, who pretends to be righteous and thinks highly of herself.
Xiao Wei had such a miserable fate, and she didn't see it coming. She's in a hopeless situation. On the other hand, Xujie is ambitious and her actions speak louder than words.
She does whatever it takes without hesitation, without beating around the bush. I'm starting to appreciate her more and more.
Wen Jie openly snatching Cathy away not only infuriated George but, more importantly, it paved the way for Cathy by directly revealing who her new right-hand person is. Xiao Wei lost her position due to her relationship with George being exposed, and she was also Wen Jie's former right-hand person.
The Wen family's forces are now without a commander, and Wen Jie cannot personally oversee every aspect of the operation.
I originally thought Jiayan's integrity would eventually surpass Wen Jie, whom I admire the most, and lead a group of disciples to the pinnacle. But now, it's disappointing. The first thing she says in the interview is disappointing.
After the divorce? She was clearly the victim, yet she still has to be an accomplice... Before, she just didn't want to be a subordinate, but now she has the chance to surpass Fei Ye and become the direct successor of "Sister." That would have been a delightful and eye-opening experience.
The issue of workplace sexual harassment, as Hui Xin mentioned, does require a lot of courage for the harassed women to come forward and share their stories. However, for others, no matter what you say, if the evidence is not strong enough, it's really easy to attract criticism.
Moreover, the makeup artist's evidence only consists of chat records, which, for netizens, cannot be considered as solid proof. She feels extremely uncomfortable even when her colleagues talk behind her back, and she can't withstand the overwhelming online comments.
In the end, it was Fang Tai who was initially afraid of Man becoming too dominant and difficult to control. So she supported George to counterbalance Man, making them fight against each other.
Originally, Fei Ye was the one mediating between them, keeping things under control to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control. But Fei Ye clearly lacked the ability. That's why they wanted to find Jia Yan again, to establish a three-way balance and prevent them from fighting too fiercely.
This Zhang Jiayan gives off a very hypocritical vibe. She advocated for holding a live stream to clarify the rumors, but during the live stream, she said it was her own privacy and didn't want to talk about it. If she didn't want to talk about it, why did she even come?
The male lead said they started dating after the marriage ended, but she didn't refute him. The marriage hadn't ended at that time; it was disrupted by the third party. When it comes to personal interests, she stops shouting slogans.
