Episode 2 recap: Tang Xin strives to present a mature proposal.
Tang Yue faced Tang Xin's insistence on him becoming the producer without compromise, but he promised to find a suitable producer for Tang Xin. However, Tang Xin only wanted Tang Yue. In the end, they couldn't reach an agreement, and Tang Xin's mood turned sour. She wasn't willing to chat with Tang Yue and went home alone, feeling down for the whole night.
The next day, You Huan prepared food early for Tang Xin. Seeing Tang Xin looking dejected, You Huan advised her not to dwell on one person and gave her encouragement. However, Tang Xin couldn't let go of Tang Yue, whom she had fallen in love with at first sight four years ago. She passionately talked about Tang Yue's virtues, which made You Huan unable to bear it. He quickly interrupted Tang Xin, entrusted the shop to her for the day, and went to monitor the factory's shipments.
Tang Xin is a sales expert, but her selling technique depends on her mood. When she's in a good mood, she sells products at a loss, and when she's in a bad mood, customers are often persuaded to buy the most expensive items at high prices. Today, two young customers happened to visit the store. One of them had bought clothes here before and found the designs unique, with only one piece for each style to avoid duplication. That's why she brought Tang Ding Ding along.
Under Tang Xin's service, Tang Ding Ding tried on many clothes and was satisfied with each one. So she decided to buy them all, but the total amount turned out to be quite high, making her hesitate. Tang Xin immediately mentioned that the last dress had caught the attention of a model. Since the clothes could only be sold after being tried on in the store, Tang Ding Ding had the opportunity to try it on. If she found it too expensive, she could choose not to buy it, but she wouldn't be able to get the same style next time.
Tang Ding Ding really liked that dress, so she reluctantly bought it, but she felt a pinch in her heart. When she handed her card, it wasn't as smooth as before. In the end, because she liked the clothes in the store, she added Tang Xin on WeChat and asked her to inform her about new arrivals. You Huan saw a large sum of money coming in and admired Tang Yue's selling skills. He couldn't help but wonder if Tang Yue knew this side of Tang Xin. Tang Xin self-deprecatingly said that Tang Yue had doubled the company's market value in just four years, and her abilities were far from his expectations.
Huo Chen Dong and Tang Yue were good friends, and they planned to have a drink together tonight. When Huo Chen Dong learned that Tang Yue had rejected Tang Xin's proposal, he felt that Tang Yue was turning his back on her. However, Tang Yue had already realized his mistake and became certain that Tang Xin had been secretly supporting his pursuit of Ming Zhu while acting against it.
Tang Ding Ding learned from Huo Chen Dong that Tang Yue actually had feelings for someone. She immediately told her mother, who eagerly asked who it was. Tang Ding Ding asked Huo Chen Dong to send a photo, but at that moment, Huo Chen Dong was with Tang Yue and it wasn't convenient. In order to send the photo, Huo Chen Dong quickly came up with an excuse to go to the bathroom, but the internet connection was poor, and it took a while to finally send it.
When Tang Ding Ding received the photo, she thought Tang Xin was Ming Zhu. Looking at the familiar face, she recognized Tang Xin as the girl who sold her clothes in the afternoon. Considering the painful prices, she hoped that next time Tang Xin could give her a discount for Tang Yue's sake.
In order to write a good proposal, Tang Xin not only worked hard for several days but also asked Ming Zhu for help in recommending professionals to provide her with some advice. Feng Cheng, a well-known screenwriter, gave professional guidance on Tang Xin's script, which greatly benefited her. Lu Zhi Xing, a renowned director, happened to pass by and learned that Tang Xin was the author of "Dreaming of You." He proactively added Tang Xin on WeChat.
Today, Tang Yue reviewed several employees' proposals in succession and found none of them reliable. This made him a bit annoyed, so he instructed Gao Heng to inform people not to disturb him casually. Tang Xin happened to come over at this moment, just after putting down her proposal. Tang Yue refused, which Tang Xin found unfair. She tried to persuade Tang Yue to give her a chance, but Tang Yue was only willing to give her five minutes.
Tang Xin requested to draw a diagram first to help Tang Yue understand her ideas. During this process, she asked Tang Yue to pass her a marker, and unexpectedly overheard Tang Yue mentioning the faceless boyfriend portrait she had sent. She didn't dare to reveal that she was the one who drew it for Tang Yue, so she used a pig's head as a substitute. Tang Yue playfully tapped her head with the pen, which made Tang Xin very happy. Tang Yue seemed to be influenced by the atmosphere as well. When he saw the pen mark on Tang Xin's face, he reached out to wipe it off for her but quickly realized that it was an inappropriate gesture and reminded Tang Xin to wash her face later.
Today, Tang Xin deliberately waited for Tang Yue in the elevator after work, pretending to coincidentally bump into him and asking him to give her a ride home on the way. However, Gao Heng didn't want Tang Yue to misunderstand his relationship with Tang Xin, so he brought up the incident where Tang Xin had parked her car in the underground garage and didn't get it serviced last time.
Secret Crush Chronicles": Watching Tang Xin secretly crushing for four years and even helping Tang pursue her best friend, I can totally relate! During middle school, when I was naive and clueless, there was a male classmate who I got along well with and had some feelings for.
But he ended up getting together with my roommate, and even though they only lasted a week, I felt so conflicted. I genuinely wished them happiness together, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Since then, and up until now, I haven't had the courage to confess to that male classmate.
I'm afraid that if I do, it will create an awkwardness between us even as friends...
