Episode 9 recap: Gu Ji Ming and Jiang Na know each other.
Jiang Guang Ming seems to have reconciled with Xu Kang, and Shi Luo thought their previous plans to divorce were because Jiang Guang Ming could not get pregnant. Jiang Na's investigation procedure has been approved, and Shi Luo went to the police station to inquire about the situation.
The staff informed Su Zhen Zhen that there had been precedents before, so the company must have such a clause when signing the contract. It was still Shi Luo cooperating with Jiang Guang Ming to handle the case in Fang Hai City. They were still staying at the seaside hotel, and the room had not changed. Shi Luo overheard Jiang Guang Ming and Xu Kang's phone call, and he knew they had reconciled.
He thought their previous quarrel was because they had no children. Jiang Guang Ming was taken aback. Shi Luo received a notice that Jiang Na's investigation procedure had been approved, and he went to the police station to inquire about the situation, temporarily leaving his luggage with Jiang Guang Ming.
Jiang Guang Ming took Jiang Na's diary and boarded the bus Jiang Na usually took. Jiang Na's diary recorded the scenery along the way and her own journey, as if Jiang Na was right beside Jiang Guang Ming.
After the investigation, the police in Fang Hai City found that Jiang Na had not reported herself missing and had no long-distance or even entry and exit records. The only thing that was quite strange was that from May to mid-August last year, Jiang Na had stayed at a place called Red Star Hotel on the pedestrian street. Jiang Guang Ming got off the bus at the pedestrian street and arrived at the Zhuo Yu Bookstore mentioned in Jiang Na's diary, but the bookstore was now closed, with a notice for the storefront for rent.
Shi Luo informed Jiang Guang Ming of this abnormal situation, and Jiang Guang Ming turned to look, and the Zhuo Yu Bookstore was right next to the Red Star Hotel. Shi Luo hurried to the pedestrian street and went to the hotel reception with Jiang Guang Ming to inquire about the situation.
The staff informed them that Jiang Na had indeed stayed there frequently last year, and it was always the same room. Jiang Guang Ming saw the surveillance cameras above and asked, learning that the surveillance footage was generally kept for three months.
According to another staff member, it was always Jiang Na who handled the check-ins, but there was also another male individual.
Shi Luo took out Gu Ji Ming's photo to show the other person, who said it did seem to be him. On May 5, 2018, Gu Ji Ming's recommended novel "The Wheat Spike" was not selected, which made him very dissatisfied. He argued passionately, but was instead mocked by his colleagues, and the chief editor criticized him, saying that his dream of becoming famous by writing fiction was just a daydream.
Gu Ji Ming met with Jiang Na, and the two gradually became acquainted. Jiang Na was gradually attracted to the simple-looking Gu Ji Ming, and the two took a walk by the seaside, gradually holding hands. The chief editor prohibited editors from dating authors. Dou He was used as a negative example and had his salary docked for a month. Gu Ji Ming almost stood up and blew his cover.
When he went to meet Jiang Na again, he accidentally ran into the chief editor, and hastily went into the Red Star Hotel, and by chance booked a room, only to find the chief editor was also there on a date with a magazine author. It was a case of the officials being allowed to do what the common people were forbidden. But it was also because of this that Gu Ji Ming and Jiang Na became intimate.
At a banquet, Gu Ji Ming boldly handed his work to Su Zhe and enthusiastically toasted him, but was then called back to his seat by the chief editor. Su Zhe did not take Gu Ji Ming's novel, and Gu Ji Ming was mocked and ridiculed by the drunken chief editor, his confidence severely shaken.
In the hotel room with Jiang Na, he accidentally learned that Tang Xun was staying at the seaside hotel, working on a suspense novel in seclusion. Jiang Na had secretly read Tang Xun's novel, and Gu Ji Ming asked her to find a way for him to read it as well. Coincidentally, the manager had prohibited employees from using their phones at work, so Jiang Na transcribed the content.
Su Zhen Zhen went to negotiate the film adaptation rights of "Black Rain" on Gu Ji Ming's behalf. There was one clause that Su Zhen Zhen did not fully understand. The staff said there had been precedents before, so the company must include this clause when signing the contract. At the time, Su Zhen Zhen did not sign, saying she would go back and discuss it with Gu Ji Ming.
Jiang Guang Ming and Shi Luo went to find Gu Ji Ming, who still did not admit to knowing Jiang Na. Just then, Jiang Na's call log was provided, and Jiang Guang Ming confronted Gu Ji Ming again, reading out the details of his previous calls with Jiang Na, and said that if he still couldn't remember, they could change the location, but the nature of the matter would then be different.
